Chapter 61: Chapter 58 The Birthday Star Carries the Wronged Soul; Qin Family Sells Daughter

The banquet was held by the Ruan Family, celebrating the birthday of the youngest daughter of Chairman Ruan, and had invited celebrities from all walks of life.

The Ruan Family was a real estate tycoon in Imperial City’s business world with considerable clout. The Qin Family needed a piece of land owned by the Ruan Family for a project, but this land was highly sought after, with numerous businesses vying for it.

Through Mrs. Qin’s efforts, she had recently become friendly with the wife of Chairman Ruan, and it seemed very likely that they would secure the land.

On such an important day, the Qin family naturally had to attend the banquet.

Qin Zhao had chosen an elegant black gown and wore the bracelet that Chu Yan had given her. That single piece of jewelry highlighted her exceptionally fair skin, making her look stunningly gorgeous.

Upon entering the Ruan Family’s banquet, she ran into Zou Ziqi.

"Miss Qin, you’re here for Ruan Xing’s birthday party too?"

Zou Ziqi came forward to greet her, and Qin Zhao nodded in acknowledgment.

"The ingredients you asked my family to find will be ready soon, and I’ll bring them to you."

"Really? That’s wonderful!"

Qin Zhao had intended to inquire about the medicinal ingredients from Zou Ziqi, but he had brought it up without prompting.

Currently, Qin Wan had to undergo chemotherapy every week, and she was quickly losing all her hair.

Chu Yan said he was searching for ways to treat her, but Qin Zhao knew about the illness and that there were no historically documented cases of a cure.

She could only place her hope in the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, hoping that it would rejuvenate Qin Wan’s body.

"Mr. Zou, please thank the patriarch for me. Sorry to trouble your family during this period."

"It’s no trouble, Miss Qin. Your family has done great favors for us, it’s the least we can do."

As they conversed, the Ruan Family members arrived.

The star of today was Ruan Xing, an eight-year-old girl dressed in a princess gown, complete with a tiara.

However, the tiara on her head wasn’t a plaything for a child’s fantasy play, but a custom-made piece commissioned by Chairman Ruan, worth millions.

"An eight-year-old girl’s birthday party is more extravagant than my grandpa’s longevity celebration."

Zou Ziqi couldn’t help but remark, "Chairman Ruan really dotes on this daughter."

Qin Zhao caught sight of Ruan Xing and couldn’t help frowning.

Under the spotlight, the little girl in a princess dress looked stunningly beautiful.

But Qin Zhao saw something clinging to her back—it was a ghost brimming with resentful energy!

Ghosts don’t attach themselves to people for no reason, so young Ruan Xing must be harboring some secret.

Qin Zhao observed her face, her gaze slightly cold, "Excessive pampering can only raise monsters."

Zou Ziqi nodded in agreement, "The young miss of the Ruan Family has an unpleasing character indeed. Spoiled by her family from a young age, she’s arrogant and bossy, not even the elders are spared her disrespect."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a friend came to look for Zou Ziqi.

Zou Ziqi excused himself to Qin Zhao and left with his friends.

Qin Zhao wasn’t very familiar with these tycoons and elites of Imperial City and hadn’t many friends among them, which left her feeling bored.

She simply stayed alert to Ruan Xing, a bit curious about the ghost attached to her.

Right, what was she doing here today?

Oh, to show off the bracelet Chu Yan gave her.

Qin Zhao’s expression turned wooden for a moment; she didn’t even know why she was doing such a foolish thing!

It was all because of that idiot Chu Yan!

After mentally cursing Chu Yan, Qin Zhao then spotted two somewhat familiar figures approaching her.

"Zhaozhao, how have you been lately?"

Zhou Rui looked at her with a face full of concern, but Qin Zhao could tell right away that it was all pretense.

Calculations filled the woman’s eyes; she was probably plotting something nasty.

Zhou Rui was Mrs. Qin, her nominal mother.

And the person next to Zhou Rui was the one in charge of the Qin family, Qin Siyu.

He was also Qin Zhao’s nominal father.

"Can she be anything but good? Today she’s dating a male celebrity, tomorrow she’s out eating with a director, and she’s all over the internet, putting on airs. Life couldn’t be more thrilling," said Qin Siyu with a sarcastic tone. Ever since the original host had entered the entertainment industry, he felt more and more embarrassed by Qin Zhao. The scandals had utterly disgraced the Qin family!

Qin Zhao stared at him for a moment and asked, "Who are you?"

Qin Siyu: "???"

Her expression was indifferent and scornful, as if to tell Qin Siyu: Who’s this old geezer? Get lost.

The original host had always been meek in front of these parents. Qin Siyu hadn’t seen this side of Qin Zhao before and was about to lose his temper because he was dissatisfied with her reaction.

Zhou Rui quickly tugged at him and then gave him a look. Qin Siyu swallowed his words with great effort.

"Zhaozhao, your mom and dad have been missing you. Even though you’ve made some mistakes, you are still our child, and what parents don’t love their own child? After today, come back home to live. I’ll have your dad arrange a cushy job for you in the company, so you won’t have to scrounge for a living in that murky entertainment circle," Zhou Rui said.

Without waiting for Qin Zhao to speak, Zhou Rui took her hand, "Come, mom and dad will take you to meet Uncle Ruan."

That Uncle Ruan was Ruan Xing’s father.

Qin Zhao thought of the strangeness about Ruan Xing and was indeed curious to go see.

However, she shook off Zhou Rui’s clinging hand and maintained a certain distance from her.

Zhou Rui glanced at her and, seeing that she was following them, didn’t say anything.

"Mr. Ruan, this is my eldest daughter."

Upon seeing Chairman Ruan, Qin Siyu was especially polite, with a flattering smile on his face that was completely different from how he had just treated Qin Zhao.

Chairman Ruan sized up Qin Zhao, "She’s quite pretty. I’ve heard your daughter is a celebrity and has dated quite a few boyfriends, is that true?"

"Of course that’s not true! In that place called the entertainment industry, the reporters write nonsense about anything they capture. In truth, our Zhaozhao is very chaste and busy filming all the time; she has no time for dating."

Chairman Ruan nodded, "She seems quite quiet, not much like the rumors suggest. But no matter, it still depends on whether Ruan Xian likes her. They can date for a while to try it out."

"Yes, we’re not autocratic patriarchs after all; it’s still up to the children if they like each other."

"I still have other guests to attend to, so I’ll be on my way. Ruan Xian should be coming down from upstairs soon. I’ve spoken to him already, you can just look for him when it’s time."

"Go on with your duties, Mr. Ruan."

When Chairman Ruan had left, Zhou Rui said to Qin Zhao, "Zhaozhao, you must seize this opportunity. The Ruan family is a well-known real estate business in Imperial City, with assets worth tens of billions! Ruan Xian is Chairman Ruan’s favorite son; if you could marry Ruan Xian, maybe you’d live even more comfortably than Jingjing."

Qin Zhao understood then; these two wanted to marry her off.

She couldn’t help but scoff, "Whoever wants such an ill-fated family can have them."

Even though Chairman Ruan had the look of wealth, his body carried an ominous air, a blight on his fortune.

This indicated that there were unsavory matters in his household, and bankruptcy might even be in his future.

On Ruan Xing’s body was a ghost filled with towering resentful energy. How good could such a family be?
