Chapter 62 -56: Thinking of Jiang Ning

Jiang Ning’s expression condensed upon seeing the scars on Qin Taoran’s body, “These scars look severe, but they are actually just superficial wounds, not even qualifying as minor injuries.”

Slowly rolling down his sleeves, Qin Taoran nearly cried again upon hearing Jiang Ning’s words, “That’s right. I’ve been to the hospital before and wanted to get a medical assessment of the injuries, but the hospital said they were too trivial to be of any use even after an appraisal.”

Ruan Jiahua worked at a famous state-owned enterprise and held a high position.

It was precisely because of his high-paying job that Qin Taoran, after getting pregnant, was persuaded by Ruan Guanghua’s promises to resign from her own job.

Of course, there was another reason—if both of them worked, there would be no one to take care of the child.

Qin Taoran compromised.

She had originally thought that, with Ruan Jiahua’s high income and their arrangement where one would manage the household and the other the outside world, they would be a harmonious and happy family of three after the child was born.

She never expected that after childbirth, her life would turn into hell.

At first, Ruan Jiahua just had a poor attitude towards Qin Taoran and did not physically abuse her. Then, one time after he returned from a social gathering reeking of alcohol, Qin Taoran kindly tried to help him bathe, only to be shoved away by Ruan Jiahua. That moody Ruan Guanghua yelled at her and then raised his hand against her.

After the first incident of domestic violence, the second and the third were not far behind.

She didn’t know when it started, but whenever Ruan Jiahua drank, he would come home and take his anger out on her.

Previously, when Ruan Jiahua sobered up, he would kneel on the ground and beg Qin Taoran’s forgiveness. But within half a year, Ruan Jiahua clearly started to treat Qin Taoran as a maid he could abuse at will.

He was very cautious about how he abused Qin Taoran, not hitting or kicking her, but using slippers or other soft objects to confine her to the ground and lash at her, leaving only bruises without seriously injuring her body.

This led to Qin Taoran’s several attempts for medical appraisals at the hospital coming to nothing.

Qin Taoran had also called the police, but for domestic issues, the police were often powerless, only able to mediate superficially and give Ruan Jiahua a verbal warning.

When Qin Taoran sought help from the Women’s Federation, the outcome was the same.

What scared her more was that Ruan Jiahua was particularly good at pretending—in front of the police and the Women’s Federation, he would show a sincere expression of remorse. But as soon as they left, Ruan Jiahua’s eyes would darken, and he would grab her by the neck and drag her into the room to silently inflict abuse.

The thought of Ruan Jiahua’s underhanded tactics behind closed doors sent chills down Qin Taoran’s spine.

Sobbing on the sofa with a look of despair, she said, “I don’t know what to do. My daughter is only three years old. Many times I considered divorcing Ruan Jiahua, but the one time I brought it up, he fiercely refused. If he disagrees, I can’t get a divorce without solid evidence.”

“Also, I grew up in a single-parent family and know too well how sensitive and insecure a child from such a family can be. I don’t want Ruirui to go through the same thing.”

“If he won’t agree to a divorce, there are other ways to make him agree, as long as you truly want to divorce,” Jiang Ning spoke up, “Are you sure that her growing up in such a family won’t cause her more psychological harm than coming from a single-parent family?”

Qin Taoran was stunned.

Jiang Ning did not continue, but instead let Qin Taoran think calmly on her own.

At the same time, Jiang Ning didn’t wholly believe everything Qin Taoran said; after all, Qin Taoran’s account was only from her own perspective, one-sided.

Jiang Ning carefully reviewed the information delivered by the System in her mind. Although some details differed slightly from what Qin Taoran had said, the overall situation was largely the same.

Ruan Jiahua was indeed a domestic abuser skilled in deception!

If Qin Taoran did not divorce him, Ruan Jiahua would become increasingly brazen, eventually becoming addicted to abusing her, and after three years, he would by mistake beat Qin Taoran to death.

Ruan Jiahua would surrender himself to the police, and their daughter Ruirui would be raised by Ruan Jiahua’s parents.

Ruan Jiahua’s parents were particularly biased in favor of sons over daughters, and one could imagine how miserable Ruirui’s childhood would be growing up with them.

Jiang Ning’s mission given by the System was to help Qin Taoran escape the domestic abuser Ruan Jiahua. Looking at Qin Taoran sitting silently on the sofa, Jiang Ning said, “Think about it carefully. After you’ve decided, if you want a divorce, come find me, and I’ll help you.”

Qin Taoran breathed a sigh of relief, nodding hesitantly.

After Qin Taoran left, the System was puzzled: [Host, why didn’t she just directly ask for a divorce?]

The System had been watching on the side as Qin Taoran cried her heart out, imagining she would directly ask to divorce Ruan Jiahua.

It had already sent the task to Jiang Ning, and as long as Qin Taoran asked for help, Jiang Ning would definitely help her.

Jiang Ning took the tea that Qin Taoran had left unfinished on the coffee table to the kitchen to pour out, responding, “You definitely don’t have kids.”

System: […]

As a system, where would it get kids from!

Jiang Ning said with conviction, “You don’t have kids to raise, nor do you need to eat.”

System: […]

What kind of response is that?!

System unilaterally muted itself and went to a dark corner to cram on human knowledge.

Jiang Ning didn’t care in the slightest and pulled up the System screen to check her personal information.

Host: Jiang Ning

Merit Rank: 0[4/10]

Merit Points: 153

Then, Jiang Ning swiped her hand and opened the System Mall for the day.

The System Mall’s daily flash sale updates new items every morning at six o’clock.

Jiang Ning checked it out every day.

The first item always starts from a million Merit Points, something the current Jiang Ning couldn’t afford.

Her gaze fell lower, directly checking the second and third items.

Item 2: Truth-telling Pill [single dose]

Instructions: A piece of work the witch is quite satisfied with, the person who uses it will truthfully answer one question.

Item 3: Nightmare Potion [single dose]

Jiang Ning’s eyes settled on the third item, she liked such unscrupulous stuff.

Without another word, she directly clicked to redeem.

As for the second item… Although it was a bit pricey, it seemed like it might come in handy in the future. After some thought, Jiang Ning redeemed that too.

Qi Family Villa.

Qi Xingzhou woke up early, he who previously had no addiction to his phone, now carried it with him all day long.

Ever since he added Jiang Ning as a friend, the first thing Qi Xingzhou did after waking up in the morning was to reach out for his phone on the nightstand.

Opening WeChat, he looked at the empty chat box and lowered his eyes in disappointment.

Wanting, wanting Jiang Ning…
