Chapter 18: It Was So Melodious And Mesmerizing
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ye Wanwan wasn’t worried at all. She was waiting for Wen Ruan to play horribly and reveal her true colors.
However, the horrendous sounds didn’t appear, instead, a melodious tune filled up the entire study.
The girl sitting in front of the piano was fair and cute, just like an angel on Earth.
Her slender fingers were dancing across the black and white keys. They were not rusty and were cleverly producing silvery sounds.
Her long and curly eyelashes were lowered and she looked focused, absorbed in the melody.
It was a beautiful sound, as if it were a mountain spring flowing out of the ravine.
Wen Jinzhang seemed to remember something while watching Wen Ruan with a distracted gaze. It was as if he was seeing someone else through her.
Enchanted and deeply in love.
A cold brutal look flashed across Liu Shuying’s eyes and her expression changed when she saw Wen Jinzhang’s gaze.
Ye Wanwan was in shock when she heard the beautiful melody. Although Wen Ruan had been learning piano since she was young, she wasn’t good at anything. Hence, she assumed that Wen Ruan wouldn’t be able to play the piano this well.
“It wasn’t like this, Uncle Wen. She was playing horrendously earlier, otherwise I wouldn’t have said that she was a failure at everything she learnt…”
Wen Ruan raised her guileless eyes to look at Ye Wanwan. “Sister Wanwan, do you admit now that you hurt my pride?”
Liu Shuying saw that the situation wasn’t right and swiftly guessed that Ye Wanwan had fallen into Wen Ruan’s trap. She raised her hand up, preparing to slap Ye Wanwan so that Wen Jinzhang would be appeased. But, she had only begun to raise her hand when she heard Wen Ruan vomit.
Wen Jinzhang didn’t even look at the mother and daughter and rushed towards Wen Ruan with a worried look. “What happened Ruanruan?”
Wen Ruan was pale and cold sweat covered her forehead. She pushed Wen Jinzhang aside and stumbled across the stairs.
Old Mrs. Wen heard that there was a fight on the third floor from the servants. She had only reached the staircase when she saw Wen Ruan come down with a pale face. She went up to support her. “Little precious, what’s wrong?”
“Grandma, help me go back to my room.”
Wen Ruan returned to her room and whispered something to Old Mrs. Wen before passing her a note.
Wen Ruan was determined to chase that mother and daughter out of Wen Family today. She couldn’t give them a break and had to execute her plan in one go.
Otherwise, when they realized what was going on and counterattacked, it would be very difficult for her to throw them out at that time.
Although Old Mrs. Wen was perplexed by Wen Ruan’s change, she was still her favorite granddaughter. She had already calmed down when Wen Jinzhang came in with a nervous look.
“Mom, how is Ruanruan?” Wen Jinzhang sat on the bed as he spoke, taking Wen Ruan’s pulse.
“The pulse is stable but fast. It should have been triggered by nerves and fear. There’s nothing seriously wrong with the body.”
Wen Ruan bent over the bed and heaved again as soon as Wen Jinzhang finished talking.
Her face was pale and cold sweat kept emerging on her forehead. Her body had begun to tremble.
Wen Jinzhang took Wen Ruan’s pulse again, but he couldn’t find anything wrong.
But, she didn’t seem to be acting either.
“Mom, let’s send Ruanruan to the hospital.”
In a heavy voice, she said, “You are the director of the most famous traditional chinese medicine hospital in Yun City. If you can’t find out the problem, what’s the use of going to the hospital?”
Old Mrs. Wen caressed Wen Ruan’s head and said gravely, “There is something that I want to tell you but I don’t know whether I should say it or not?”
“Mom, the most important issue right now is Ruanruan’s health.”
“What I am going to say is regarding Little Precious’s health only.”
Wen Jinzhang didn’t say anything more and waited for her to speak.
“Ruanruan’s condition has something to do with that mother-daughter duo.”
