Even After My Death

Chapter 62: Chapter 56: Thinking of Jiang Ning Chapter 62: Chapter 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.
