Chapter 2

Something Bad Was Happening At Home!
“Second Miss, you’re finally back…” Her family servant Aunt Li greeted Ruan Mengmeng as soon as she entered the living room.
“Aunt Li, what’s happening?” Ruan Mengmeng heard a commotion coming from the second floor, and she looked up just in time to see a mover walking past the second-floor corridor.
“It’s the Madam, she called people over to move things out. She wants to move everything out of the First Miss’ room so she can empty out the room for her mother.”
“What?!” Ruan Mengmeng’s expression changed drastically, and she ran upstairs without thinking.
Her older sister had died in an accident, and she had only just been buried. Even so, these people were already in a rush to wipe every last trace of her out of their home.
Ruan Mengmeng would not allow this! Never!
“You, put that down! Don’t touch anything in this room!” Ruan Mengmeng rushed into her sister’s room just in time to see a mover trying to take down one of her late sister’s pictures from where it was hanging on the wall.
The movers turned around when they heard her voice. The moment they saw Ruan Mengmeng, all of them looked stunned at her beauty.
Her face was delicate and gorgeous. She looked even better than the madam and young miss who had given them their instructions.
In fact, it was no exaggeration to say that even those celebrities on TV with all their make-up were no more beautiful than she was.
The leader of the moving team gulped before he found his voice again. “M-Miss… We were hired to do this. This is our job.”
Ruan Mengmeng blinked her pretty and sparkling almond eyes. Without saying a word, she pulled a stack of 100 yuan notes out of her handbag. “Okay, how’s this? You don’t have to move anything anymore, just put everything back where you found it, take this money, then leave.”
The three movers in the room looked at each other.
Judging by the thickness of the stack Ruan Mengmeng was holding out, there had to be at least three thousand bucks there.
There were three of them, so each person would receive a thousand.
No one would refuse money. Besides, the girl before them was so delicately pretty. She looked just like a doll.
“Alright, then…”
The leader was about to agree when a seductive yet slightly shrill voice spoke suddenly from the door.
“Stay right where you are. If you move everything out of this room and toss it all out, I’ll give every one of you an extra three thousand.”
A pregnant woman entered the room, helped by an obedient-looking girl.
The movers knew them. The woman was the mistress of the home, the one who called them over to move these things out.
Ruan Mengmeng looked at her stepmother, Qin Fang, her father’s mistress-turned-wife, as well as her half-sister from a different mother, Ruan Jiaojiao. Her gaze turned cold.
“Don’t push your limits, Qin Fang. This is my sister’s room, and if you dare to touch anything in it, don’t blame me if…”
Both Qin Fang and Ruan Jiaojiao could hear the threat in Ruan Mengmeng’s words.
The two of them took an involuntary step back, feeling rather intimidated.
Everyone in the Ruan Family knew that Second Miss Ruan could be very formidable when she resorted to her ‘tricks’.
However, Qin Fang looked at her stomach, more than eight months pregnant, and instantly felt a boost of confidence.
Caressing her stomach, she said with a cold laugh, “Don’t try to threaten me, Ruan Mengmeng. I’m pregnant with your Ruan Family’s precious only grandson. If you so much as touch me, forget your grandmother, even your father will kill you with his own hands.”
This was the reason Qin Fang dared to play dirty so soon after Ruan Shishi’s death.
She was pregnant with the Ruan Family’s prized jewel, after all.
As soon as she gave birth to this precious grandson, no one in the Ruan Family would be able to stand up to her. That would not change even if that girl Ruan Shishi was alive, and it mattered much less now that she was dead.
Hmph, that went doubly so for this useless brat, Ruan Mengmeng. All the girl ever did was rely on her older sister’s protection.
With that in mind, Qin Fang kept her expression stern as she told the movers inside the room, “Hurry up and move out all the furniture in here. Toss everything away. That includes these pictures and trophies, I get a headache just looking at them.”
“Don’t even try it! If she’s offering three thousand, I’ll give you four. I’ll give all of you an additional four thousand each!”
“Hmph, are you sure you have all that money? Don’t forget, your sister’s dead. Would you believe me if I say that I just have to tattle to your grandmother, and all of your cards will be frozen?”
