Seeing Ruan Tianâs nod, the policeman continued on: âYour husband was fighting with someone, do you want to try to reconcile with them? If everyone can reconcile, you can all go home.â
Qin An, who felt Ruan Tianâs cold eyes on him, felt very guilty and silently hid his body behind the policeman.
Just then, the person he had fought with also appeared.
Taking a glance at him, Ruan Tian realized that this man should be an acquaintance of hers. She felt his face looked a bit familiar.
After thinking a bit, she remembered. This person could be said to be her uncle, Mother Zhouâs brother. However, he was born quite late and was actually only around 20 years old.
This man didnât have much contact with the Zhou family, but he had a good relationship with his niece Zhou Xiaoqiao, who was about the same age as he was.
Ruan Tian had only met him once before and they didnât know each other well, but there was no conflict between them.
âRuan Tian, since it turns out this person your friend, I wonât calculate this matter with you tonight.â This was the first thing he said when he saw her.
Ruan Tian looked over and saw that this so-called uncle of hers had been beaten up pretty badly, with a bruise on his eye and a cut at the corner of his mouth.
Qin An was disgusted by her uncleâs sudden display of hypocritical âbenevolenceâ and interjected, âItâs fine, letâs all calculate things slowly.â
Ruan Tian: ââŠâ
After listening to Qin Anâs story, it seemed that this matter had all started at a banquet Qin Anâs friend had invited him to. At the banquet, he had met this person, Ruan Tianâs uncle, for the first time and didnât have much of an impression of him. However, halfway through the meal Ruan Tianâs uncle had suddenly taken a call. While on the phone, his expression had turned ugly and he had cursed a few times, before speaking in a coaxing voice to the person on the other end, âLittle Qiao, donât be sad. Your company wonât have to close.â
âThat Ruan Tian canât compare with you at all. Donât worry about her and try to be more open-minded.â
Qin An happened to overhear the conversation and felt uncomfortable. Just from the part of the conversation that he could hear, he was able to guess that the person on the other end of the phone was probably Zhou Xiaoqiao.
He had been trying to ignore it, but then the man had stood up and actually began to compliment Shen Shu and curse his brother: âHavenât Shen Shu and Ruan Tian already gotten divorced? Just blame Shen Shu for being blind at the beginning, but he will come around. And as for Qin Yu, how long can that sickly man who is destined to die soon really protect Ruan Tian for? You donât have to worry about him. â
Qin An couldnât stand it after hearing those four words âdestined to die soonâ, and blew up on the spot. He had immediately stood up, knocked the phone out of the manâs hands, kicked him in the back, and then went in fists swinging while yelling, âIâll f*ck you up! ! !â
Back in the present, Ruan Tian frowned, âWhat do you mean, âyou wonât calculate this matterâ? Isnât this something you did too? Since youâre both guilty, donât try to make yourself sound so innocent.â
The manâs face darkened and he said, âRuan Tian, Iâm your uncle.â
Ruan Tian immediately took two steps back and replied, âDonât try that. I donât have any family. Iâve already severed that relationship a long time ago, so donât try to climb up in the world by claiming to be my relative, it wonât with work.â
The manâs face turned even darker when he heard that. Inside, he felt that Ruan Tian was nothing like his cute little niece. This woman was abominably aggressive!
Finally, he said, âWhat exactly do you want?â
âApologize.â
âHah, are you dreaming right now?â
âOK, then Iâll ask Qin Yu to come here. Once he knows that you cursed him as a âsickly man who is destined to die soonâ, he will probably want to see you too.â
Ruan Tianâs uncle wasnât afraid of Qin An at all, but he really didnât have the courage to confront his brother, Qin Yu.
Thus, he flew into a rage out of humiliation and slapped his hand against the table before yelling, âWhat the f*ck! Are you threatening me right now?â
Of course, they were in a police station, and the policeman wouldnât just play dead in this sort of situation. He quickly warned sternly: âWatch yourself!â
Meanwhile, Ruan Tian had already pulled out her cell phone and was pretending to call Qin Yu.
Seeing all this, her uncle realized that the situation was against him and he could only swallow his feelings of indignation. He gritted his teeth and said, âIâm sorry.â
Qin An pursed his lips and snorted coldly.
A bit later, they were both finally able to leave. When the two of them walked out of the police station, Qin Anâs eyes couldnât help but be attracted to Ruan Tian at his side. He looked at her dignified profile then looked down. His body twisted uncomfortably, but eventually, he managed to say: âThank you tonight.â
He scratched his head. âI didnât know he was your uncle.â
Qin An continued to blurt whatever came to mind: âZhou Xiaoqiaoâs recently opened design company probably wonât be able to stay open.â
âShe even went to find Brother Shen for help.â
Ruan Tian stopped and asked, âDid Shen Shu help her?â
Qin An suddenly felt that he shouldnât have mentioned this matter. In fact, he should just never mention this person, Shen Shu, in front of Ruan Tian at all. After all, wasnât doing so just sprinkling salt on her wounds?
He looked at Ruan Tianâs expression nervously but saw that she seemed fine as if nothing had happened. Her face was still cold and disinterested as if the topic didnât matter to her.
He said, âWell, Brother Shen comforted her for a long time and Zhou Xiaoqiao kept crying to him but, in the end, he didnât give her a penny.â
Inside, Qin An was actually a bit surprised by this. He had never realized that Brother Shen was so ruthless before.
And, in the end, Zhou Xiaoqiaoâs company, which had only just opened and which she had expended a lot of painstaking efforts trying to build up, could only close down.
