Dog Training (ABO)Ch4 - Resentment and pain

Ruan Xiao’s store was converted from a street-facing quadrangle, consisting of five rooms. Two of the rooms were used for business purposes, and the remaining three rooms were used for living.

The distance between his home and the store was merely a door apart, making it very convenient for daily access, especially for someone with his leg condition. 3IkTOU

Ruan Xiao switched on the lights in the store, revealing stacks of somewhat disordered books in one corner.

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

As the summer vacation approached, there weren’t many customers visiting, especially in the mornings. Therefore, Ruan Xiao didn’t rush to open his store. Instead, he began the meticulous task of shelving the books that customers had returned. Each book was carefully placed on the bookshelves. However, there were still many books on the floor and the front desk that were too high for him to reach.

Ruan Xiao clenched his hand on his thigh, the long fingers pressing on the blanket covering his legs. No matter how hard he pressed, his paralyzed legs remained devoid of sensation.

At moments like this, Ruan Xiao felt a deep sense of resentment and agony. His legs were once so strong and capable, but now, due to his inability to afford the expensive rehabilitation costs, he was confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. The man he had pushed out of the car the previous night, upon closer examination, could certainly be considered one of the culprits responsible for his disability.

His mind was consumed by the painful memories of when he had awoken in the hospital, his entire body wrapped in bandages, unable to move a single finger. Ruan Xiao’s chest heaved with intense emotions, and he took deep breaths in an attempt to calm himself.

In retrospect, he should have been more ruthless. When he saw the injured man covered in wounds and suffering from amnesia in the hospital, he should have unhesitatingly walked away or mocked the man, sneering at the hospital’s staff for their apparent ignorance. He could have taunted the man, insinuating that he was a stray dog who didn’t even know his own home or owner.

Ruan Xiao had enjoyed a certain level of prosperity in the past. Although he wasn’t an S-class Alpha, he was a rare A+ class Alpha. It was his Alpha status and the fact that he was born as the result of an affair between his family’s master and their housekeeper that allowed him to be brought back to the Ruan family as an heir when he was twelve years old.

During that time, the legitimate wife of the Ruan family had given birth to a pair of children, but her son had tragically passed away, and her daughter had eloped with a servant, leaving many questions about who would inherit the Ruan family’s vast fortune. Ruan Xiao, as the illegitimate child who had grown up outside the family, faced significant skepticism about his right to inherit the family’s wealth.

However, Ruan Xiao persevered and, despite opposition, took his place as the head of the Ruan family’s conglomerate when his father passed away at the age of twenty-two. After ascending to this position, Ruan Xiao dedicated himself wholeheartedly to managing the affairs of the Ruan Group, and under his leadership, the group expanded and prospered, growing in scale and diversifying its interests.

But who could have foreseen that just when Ruan Xiao was thriving, he would be betrayed and framed, eventually being unceremoniously ousted from his position? The company he had painstakingly managed and protected was forced into new ownership, and the billionaire’s life he had enjoyed overnight turned into one of destitution, with nothing to his name. gmFXAq
