Chapter 2 Is she really not the woman who entangled with him for three days?

Jiang Ruan's face was filled with anxiety as her heart kept plummeting; her mother was her only relative, and she absolutely couldn't lose her mother!

However, the servants only taunted coldly, "The young miss has ordered that you are not allowed to step out!"

"Human life is at stake! I beg you to let me go."

Unfortunately, the servants didn't care at all and even viciously kicked her.

Jiang Ruan fell to the ground, her knees scraped and bleeding.

She glared at these people with trembling lips, "My mother is ill, you all heard it, let me go."

"Your mother has been sick for over ten years, and yet she hasn't died! Today, you're not leaving this courtyard to interfere with our young miss and Zhan Xiaohan's affair!"

Jiang Ruan closed her eyes, then slowly climbed up from the ground, looked at the haughty maids in front of her, and, grinding her teeth, suddenly pushed them away fiercely and dashed outside.

The people behind her were instantly alarmed, "This is bad, we must not let that little slut get into the front courtyard! Catch her!"

In the villa's courtyard, Zhan Xiaohan declined the Jiang family's dinner invitation. He relaxed his brows slightly, his cool, thin voice coming out, "The marriage contract of the Zhan family is very clear; when Yuning is pregnant with a child, the wedding will be held immediately."

Jiang's mother agreed with a smile, "Since Yuning came back, she has obviously become much more sedate, even walking gently, probably already carrying your baby."

"Hmm, thank you for your efforts."

Jiang Yuning stood next to Zhan Xiaohan, and by looking up, she could clearly see the side of his face. His skin was cold and white, his eyebrows were like ink, his nose was high and straight, and his jawline was perfect to the extreme!

He completely outshone all the young masters and rich kids she used to date.

Jiang Yuning's heart throbbed, pleased by the thought of becoming a wealthy wife in the future when suddenly, a detestable figure rushed before her eyes.

Her smile stalled, coldness flashing in her eyes, and she almost immediately clung to Zhan Xiaohan's arm!

How dare Jiang Ruan run out?

In an instant, Zhan Xiaohan's gaze fell on Jiang Ruan. The girl was wearing a simple cotton white dress, her frame slender, her looks somewhat resembling Jiang Yuning's.

The fervently intertwined scenes of that night suddenly flooded his mind, and Zhan Xiaohan's dark eyes narrowed coldly, fixating on the girl!

The panic in her eyes was exactly the same as the one he had seen in those sleepless nights!

Seeing Zhan Xiaohan's gaze firmly on Jiang Ruan, Jiang Yuning panicked instantly, he couldn't have recognized her, could he?!

She tried to calm herself, quickly saying, "Sister, you are becoming more and more rebellious, running out to bars last night, getting locked up by Mom and Dad for reflection, and now you're causing trouble again."

Jiang Yuning scolded coldly, while Zhan Xiaohan next to her frowned.

Going out to bars recklessly?

He felt an instinctive disgust but couldn't help staring at the girl.

It was him!

Jiang Ruan glanced at him and then quickly lowered her head.

As she saw the man frowning upon hearing those words, Jiang Ruan's hands hanging by her side slowly tightened, a bitter taste in her mouth, he had misunderstood her...

She suppressed the trembling of her body, biting her lip, "My mother is seriously ill, please let me leave, if I don't get to the hospital soon, she will die!"

"Jiang Ruan, you are using your mother as an excuse again; our Jiang Family has spent money on your mother's treatment for many years, never lacking!"

Jiang Yuning intimately tightened her grip on Zhan Xiaohan, her voice becoming soft, "CEO Zhan, my sister is somewhat thoughtless, please don't mind her. How about we go inside first..."

Zhan Xiaohan looked at her but suddenly said, "Let her go to the hospital to see her mom first."

He knew that it should have been Jiang Yuning those three nights, but inexplicably, he still harbored some doubts.

Jiang's father also immediately said, "That's right, Butler, drive Miss to the hospital!"

Jiang Yuning clenched her fist tightly, vixen!

Upon getting permission, Jiang Ruan immediately started running forward, but as she passed by Zhan Xiaohan, a faint fragrance wafted over, instantly tugging at Zhan Xiaohan's nerves.

Suddenly, Jiang Ruan's slender wrist was grasped by the man's cool fingers, her tightly clenched hands instantly released, sending a chill up her spine.

The man's deep and cold voice came from above, far from the tenderness of that night.

"Lift your head."

Jiang Yuning, standing to the side, had a stiff expression as she looked towards her parents, seeking help.

Zhan Xiaohan's gaze traveled from top to bottom, and upon seeing the Zhan family heirloom ring on the girl's pale finger, he instantly broke free from Jiang Yuning's arms and took Jiang Ruan's hand.

"How did the ring end up with you!"

So, it was her?! His dark eyes grew darker, filled with danger and oppression!

Jiang Yuning shuddered and immediately looked over, what heirloom ring? She did not know about it!

But the ring, at first glance, was clearly of extraordinary value!

Damn it, Jiang Ruan, this little bitch, actually did not inform her immediately!

Her eyes filled with dangerous chill, she glared at Jiang Ruan and quickly walked over, snatching the ring from her finger, her expression hurt, "Sister, I've always let you have your way with everything since we were young. Although you are an adopted daughter of our Jiang family, we treated you like our own. Before when you took my things, I always let you have them, but this time, you've gone too far, even stealing the token of love Xiaohan gave to me!"

Her eyes suddenly brimmed with tears, looking at Zhan Xiaohan with a soft voice apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiaohan, I didn't keep it safe. She took it away while I was taking a bath..."

She purposefully revealed the marks she had made on Jiang Ruan's body that morning, the various marks she had pinched out on her neck.

Zhan Xiaohan's gaze turned sharp as it fell on Jiang Yuning's collarbone, her earlobe.

Places he had been particularly fond of these past three days...

So, it was Jiang Yuning.

And that girl, just a lowly thief who went out to play and steal.

Zhan Xiaohan's expression darkened, his dangerous eyes narrowing, "Can you afford the price of stealing a ring?"

Looking at the man's fierce expression, Jiang Ruan's heart skipped a beat, and for some reason, being misunderstood by him felt like a harsh slap in the face, stinging and shame-filled.

She mustered her courage, her tone soft but resolute, "I haven't stolen."

"I won't admit to something I haven't done!"

The car sent by Jiang's father had already arrived at the gate, and without any further explanation, Jiang Ruan ran to the entrance and quickly got into the car.

Zhan Xiaohan's gaze subconsciously followed the departing figure of Jiang Ruan, was she really... not the woman who had been entangled with him for three days?
