Chapter 37

In the living room.

"Do you know why Brother Qiwei would bring you home?" Yi Tong slowly walked up to her, Yi Ruan frowned slightly, looking at her with slight displeasure.

"Do you know how much you resemble my deceased sister?" Yi Tong continued, "Do you know why Brother Qiwei values your unborn child so much? Because he wants to see my sister again."

At this moment, Yi Tong walked up to her, slightly bent down, looked at her face, and softly said, "Do you know about fetal exchange?"

She leaned back, creating distance, raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly, "Do you think I'm that kind of feudal superstitious person?"

Yi Tong suddenly went mad, wanting to press her stomach, "Wu Ma, come help me!"

Yi Ruan sharply leaned back, lifted her foot and kicked her in the chest; a solar plexus kick made her feel as if her front ribs were broken.

Her aura grew increasingly fierce, her beautiful eyes vicious; Wu Zhuyu kicked sideways, she shifted her body and easily dodged; although she was protecting the child, she did not lose the upper hand.

Rong Wei stood not far away, quietly watching, holding a cup of coffee in her hand; that composure sent a chill down people's spines.

Yi Tong and Wu Zhuyu joined forces; she was outmatched, could only retreat step by step, unable to beat them, so she withdrew.

After Yi Ruan left, Fu Kai called for A Nuo to go together to find Old Master Fu.

Guarding the Moon

"Third Young Master, I advise you not to wade into this muddy water," the old steward said while leading them to find the old master.

A Nuo knew exactly what was going on, but this big movie star truly valued loyalty and righteousness, willing to stab himself in the ribs for the young master.

Fu Kai, however, disagreed; if he saved Yi Ruan, he would not only gain his elder brother's trust but also earn his sister-in-law's gratitude, killing two birds with one stone.

In the study, Old Master Fu stood by the window; Fu Kai entered and said, "Grandfather, Aunt has called the elder brother's wife away, the elder brother hasn't returned, I don't know if she'll encounter trouble; otherwise, could you go check?"

Old Master Fu grunted, "Old Qin, send a few people to Rong Wei's place."

The old steward understood, but Fu Kai hadn't expected Old Master Fu to agree so readily.

Several people leisurely headed toward Green Plough, "Third Young Master, you'd better not follow; go back and rest."

The old steward persuaded Fu Kai to leave, but he couldn't rest easy, turning back every three steps: "Third Young Master, do you really not trust the old master?"

He couldn't say anything else, so he could only leave; and after Fu Kai departed, A Nuo was knocked unconscious by the old steward.

"I'm sorry, Madam."

In the dark thicket, a woman hid inside, quietly watching this show, her eyes vicious.

After speaking softly, he led the servants behind him, striding swiftly toward Green Plough.

She could not withstand Green Plough's retinue of servants, retreating step by step, yet she had to protect the child in her belly; after great effort she broke out and ran, only to see A Nuo knocked unconscious.

Hiding in the thicket, waiting for the surroundings to empty, after silence fully returned she dared to come out and rouse A Nuo, but found he was too deeply unconscious to wake; she had no choice but to pull out her phone and call Fu Qiwei, but no matter how she tried, she couldn't get through.

"Why won't anyone answer the phone?!"

After two or three minutes with no one answering the phone, she clenched her phone, muttered a curse, and ran forward.

Gradually the surroundings began to brighten; she didn't know the way, but she also knew which direction led out; running and running, she began to run out of stamina.

"System! System! Where are you!" she frantically called out in her mind.

【When the car reaches the mountain, there will be a road; when the boat reaches the bridge, it will go straight naturally.】

Yi Ruan didn't suspect him, protecting her belly as she continued forward.

She really hadn't expected this group to dare, while Fu Qiwei was away, to want to kill her.

The more she thought, the angrier she got; once she escaped, she'd definitely show them a thing or two!

Suddenly, something pressed against her waist, and she instantly went dumb.

"A gun?!"

She slightly turned her body.

"Don't move, or I'll shoot through your belly."

Yi Ruan then dared not move.

After a while, the man put away his gun, "You're Yi Ruan, right?"

"Mm." she replied indifferently.

The man seized her hand, "I'm Mo Ci, a close friend of your brother Mo Zhi."

She somewhat doubted his identity, subtly stepping back to increase the distance.

Mo Ci was about to say something when sudden pain cut him off; the gun in his hand was also taken by her, and he suddenly realized he was missing a gun, hearing the woman's extremely cold voice: "Stop the nonsense, take me away."

He clutched his shoulder in pain, his face twisted, and he gritted his teeth: "You damned girl, how can you not tell good from bad!"

……

Four years later

At Mo Tower, conference room

A woman sat in the highest seat, a pen held between her fingers, the pen weaving flexibly through her fingers as she lazily glanced at the publishing contract.

"Mo Zong, what do you think?"

The woman lifted her gaze, looking at the man below, and gave a cold "hmm."

The man was very pleased, "So that means you're willing to cooperate with us?"

This man is a senior executive of a biotech research company; he wants to build an underwater biotech research center, but no one dares to invest, so he has come to seek Yi Ruan's help.

The woman lazily leaned back, idly twirling the pen, a faint smile playing at the corner of her mouth, her eyes and brows hinting at a hint of cold allure, "Cooperation is win-win, but in this cooperation we need to invest a great deal of manpower and material resources up front; whether we can recoup our costs in the end is uncertain, so I am only willing to invest forty percent of the funds in this project, but the later profits will be split forty-sixty."

Her peach blossom eyes made the other party somewhat swayed.

"This isn't right, Mo Zong, a forty-sixty split is too unfair." the man said with a half-smile.

Yi Ruan slightly raised her brow, "Then what does Xu Zong say?"

"Twenty-eight split." Xu Zong said immediately.

She apologetically spread her hands, smiling, and said, "In that case, our cooperation can only be postponed."

"Wait, Chief Mo, do you think a 3-7 split is acceptable?" Chief Xu continued, "This is the maximum profit I can give you."

She propped her head with one hand, pushed the steel pen toward the man's face, and the assistant behind her took out two contracts from the file bag.

When Chief Xu opened the contract and saw the profit split on it, his vision went dark and his body swayed, on the verge of collapsing.

Seeing that this young woman had intended a 3-7 split from the beginning.

After both parties signed the contract, they shook hands and bid farewell.

"Chief Mo is young and capable; I believe opening the Country A market this time will surely succeed. I'm here, first wishing Chief Mo immediate success." Chief Xu held her hand, and Yi Ruan gave a faint nod.

After they left, she sat alone in the meeting room, preparing for the next meeting, but the meeting room door suddenly swung open without warning.

'"Mom." A little kid ran in on his short legs, wearing a denim jacket; the conspicuous pink rhinestones on the clothing looked adorably clumsy, his chubby little hands hugged the woman's leg, he blinked his clear black-and-white lively eyes, his eyelashes fluttered like fans, and a delicately carved pink and jade doll lay beside her.'
