AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 60
by VolareHe couldn’t explain his obsession with Ruan Tang to Shen Mozhi, nor could he tell Shen Mozhi that the system dictated he could only live better by constantly plundering energy from Ruan Tang.
“Wouldn’t it be better for us to live our own lives?” Shen Mozhi looked at him coldly, “You told me that only by stepping out of the shadows and obsessions of the past can we live a better future, didn’t you?”
He didn’t know how Ruan Xi had changed from the little angel he was as a child to what he was now.
But as a normal person, he really couldn’t understand Ruan Xi’s insane obsession with Twist someone who didn’t even have him in their eyes and was living their own life perfectly fine…
Ruan Tang had already moved on, so why did Ruan Xi keep trapping himself in the past?
Listening to his words, Ruan Xi felt a chill run down his spine and quickly forced a pale smile, “I’m sorry, Mozhi, I was too angry. I was flustered and started talking nonsense. I was wrong…”
Shen Mozhi was his last hope and support.
He must not let Shen Mozhi know that the person who said those words to him back then was Ruan Tang, and the one who saved him was also Ruan Tang… but Ruan Tang had long forgotten these things.
He was the despicable person who used the system to shamelessly steal Ruan Tang’s identity and impersonate Shen Mozhi’s savior…
He couldn’t lose Shen Mozhi.
Shen Mozhi looked at him deeply without saying a word. Although he was extremely disappointed in Ruan Xi, he was an extremely trustworthy person. As long as he recalled how Ruan Xi had held his hand tightly after saving him when he was a child, and the promise he made to marry him and protect him when he grew up, he couldn’t say anything.
Ruan Xi’s kindness made him feel indebted to Ruan Xi for the rest of his life.
…
After getting the person he wanted from Auston, Ruan Tang directly led them in a mighty and imposing manner to the Ruan Family Estate.
Since breaking with Ruan Ming, Ruan Tang had not contacted anyone in the Ruan family for a long time and had rejected all invitations from the Ruan family.
Today, the Ruan family was probably holding some kind of banquet, an important day, and it looked very lively.
“…Fifth, Fifth Young Master… Why are you back? Why are you bringing so many people?” The security guard looked at Ruan Tang’s dark face and the guards he brought, as if he was there to make trouble. He was immediately startled and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Ruan Tang ignored him completely and led Auston’s guards straight into the Ruan family’s banquet hall.
He would no longer give the Ruan family any face. Ruan Ming and Xia Ruzhi had harmed his mother, older brother, and older sister like this, and no matter what the occasion, he would never let them have a good time.
The Ruan family was currently holding a full moon celebration for Ruan Ming’s third son, Xia Ruzhi’s eldest son, Ruan Zhuoxu’s youngest son.
The gilded grandfather clock in the hall swung slowly, and it was a lively and festive time, with guests talking and laughing.
It was at this time that Ruan Tang led Auston’s guards in, and the Ruan family couldn’t stop him, so they could only follow behind Ruan Tang with great difficulty.
Seeing Ruan Tang’s current posture, they didn’t know whether to move or not, and they were all a little afraid. “Master, Fifth Young Master, he…”
“Why are you suddenly back?” Ruan Ming, seeing this son who hadn’t paid attention to him for many days, was immediately taken aback. Before he could think carefully about what Ruan Tang wanted to do, he had already put on the airs of a father.
Ruan Tang looked at this father and immediately sneered, retorting, “Why? Can’t I come back?”
Everything the Ruan family had was bought with the blood and flesh of his mother, older brother, and older sister. None of Ruan Ming’s children were qualified to return here, and neither would he.
Ruan Ming didn’t expect Ruan Tang to be so disrespectful in public, so arrogant. He immediately gasped.
He didn’t expect that this son, who was already eccentric and stubborn, had become even more arrogant and unruly after getting married.
As the other protagonist of today’s banquet, Ruan Zhuoxu smiled and tried to smooth things over before Ruan Ming could speak, but his words subtly accused Ruan Tang of being unfilial: “Fifth Brother, this is your home, how could we not let you come back? You don’t know how worried and anxious Mother and Father have been these past few days while you’ve been away, throwing a temper tantrum and ignoring Mother and Father?”
He smiled, but in reality, he was extremely dissatisfied with Ruan Tang, this younger brother born to Ruan Ming’s first wife. He felt that he had been gloomy and cold since he was a child and was not likable. The main reason was that Ruan Tang was born to Tang Yun, and Ruan Zhuoxu would never forget the days when he couldn’t even call his own father “Father” when Tang Yun was still the mistress, only “Master”, and was pointed at behind his back.
And Ruan Tang was born as a legitimate son…
Even if the other party was just an Omega who was not to be feared, he was still jealous.
“I’m not here to talk to you. This is not your place to speak!” Ruan Tang glanced at him coldly, not wanting to waste any words with him.
Ruan Ming had many illegitimate children. Before Ruan Tang was born, he already had three.
Two other mistresses each gave birth to the second and fourth children, while Ruan Zhuoxu, born to Xia Ruzhi, was the third.
In the past, although Ruan Tang wasn’t very close to them, he wouldn’t have been so harsh with them, because he knew in his heart that no matter what these people were like, it was actually Ruan Ming’s fault. Ruan Ming was the root of everything, the culprit.
His brothers and sisters also had no choice in being born.
But after knowing that it was Xia Ruzhi who had harmed his family –
Ruan Tang could no longer have a good attitude towards Xia Ruzhi’s children. Everything Xia Ruzhi had done was for herself and her children. Ruan Zhuoxu and Ruan Xi enjoyed everything that Ruan Yang and Ruan Yue should have enjoyed. This was their original sin.
And Ruan Zhuoxu’s name, now that he thought about it, had long contained Xia Ruzhi’s ambition and calculation –
His eldest brother was called Ruan Yang, Xu and Yang had the same meaning, while Zhuo meant surpassing, superior.
This despicable mistress Xia Ruzhi had never had good intentions from the beginning.
Looking at Xia Ruzhi, dressed in gorgeous attire, graceful and luxurious, smiling happily and smugly while being supported by her daughter-in-law, Ruan Tang felt extremely irritated.
He couldn’t suppress the anger and hatred in his heart.
Everything they had now should have belonged to his mother and older siblings.
The people who came to the banquet, looking at Ruan Tang’s serious demeanor of bringing people with him, guessed that they could eat some more of the Ruan family’s gossip, and immediately swallowed their saliva.
They all looked at Ruan Tang and Ruan Zhuoxu.
Ruan Zhuoxu didn’t expect Ruan Tang’s change after marriage to be so great, so tough and arrogant, not giving his older brother and future family head any face. His expression was extremely ugly: “You -”
But because Ruan Ming was still there, and he was not the family head, he couldn’t directly tell Ruan Tang to get out, and it wasn’t good to scold him.
“How are you talking to your older brother?” Ruan Ming, seeing that his family was about to lose face again and become the laughingstock of the entire Imperial Star, was immediately furious.
But looking at Ruan Tang bringing so many guards, considering that he still wanted this son and that Ruan Tang’s temper was already stubborn, the more forceful you were with him, the more you would embarrass yourself, he didn’t plan to tear his face apart with him and didn’t want to lose face on this occasion. After much consideration, Ruan Ming still endured it and acted like a loving father: “This is your home. Today is your nephew’s full moon banquet. You should have come back. It’s just that you’re so impetuous, not giving us a heads-up beforehand, and bringing so many people… Those who know will think you’re coming home, and those who don’t know will think you’re here for revenge?”
He thought that he had already lowered his posture like this, and Ruan Tang should naturally take the opportunity to stop and consider the overall situation.
But unexpectedly, Ruan Tang didn’t give him this face at all –
“Is he my older brother? He’s just an illegitimate child born to a despicable third party.” Ruan Tang looked at him coldly, his eyes bloodshot, and he no longer had his usual gentle and calm appearance: “Moreover, Marshal Ruan, you’re really not wrong. I’m here for revenge today!”
As soon as he said this, it was tantamount to completely tearing his face apart with the Ruan family, Ruan Ming, and Ruan Zhuoxu…
The entire place was silent.
The Ruan family’s dirty laundry was known to everyone in the entire Imperial Star, but no one brought it up on the table.
But at this moment, Ruan Tang, the son of the first wife, tearing his face apart like this immediately made some people couldn’t help but cast gossipy glances at Ruan Zhuoxu and his mother Xia Ruzhi.
Xia Ruzhi’s face turned extremely pale. After being Mrs. Ruan for so many years, she really didn’t expect that after so many years, someone would still scold her face-to-face as a mistress.
Ruan Ming was so angry that he almost fainted: “You -”
Ruan Zhuoxu clenched his fists, looking at the son of the first wife with a hateful expression and the surrounding pointing fingers, but he was the first to recover and distort the facts: “Ruan Tang, I know you resent Father for divorcing your mother and marrying my mother, but that was unavoidable. Your mother suddenly fell seriously ill and couldn’t help the Ruan family or Father. For so many years, although they divorced long ago, Father has always been supporting the First Madam, and has asked us to call her Mrs. Tang… And my mother, as a stepmother, although she may not be very good to you, you haven’t lacked anything and have grown up safely…”
He avoided talking about Xia Ruzhi being a mistress and himself being an illegitimate child.
“Even if you feel it’s unfair in your heart, my mother can only do so much as a stepmother. After all, you’re not her own child. She can’t treat you as her own.” Ruan Zhuoxu was deeply influenced by his mother’s essence, and gave a long series of big reason: “I understand that you may think that if your mother was still Mrs. Ruan, your life would be much better than it is now, but have you ever thought about it?”
“Your mother had an accident more than twenty years ago, and she was just a woman from a commoner background without any family background, while my mother is the daughter of the noble Xia family… The Ruan family can have what it has today, how much effort has my mother and my maternal family put in, and how much of a role has my mother’s social skills played? Everything my mother enjoys is what she deserves…” Ruan Zhuoxu had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his words were righteous.
But in his words, he was constantly smearing Ruan Tang: “And you, Ms. Tang had an accident when you were so young, and my mother raised you to be so big. Even if she doesn’t deserve credit, she has worked hard… I don’t know where you got so much resentment from, and who influenced you, that you hate us so much that you don’t even remember the kindness of being raised?”
His voice was loud and clear, and his words were extremely beautiful and righteous.
As an older brother, his brainwashing skills were much better than Ruan Xi’s. The crowd, who were originally eating melon seeds and watching the son of the first wife tear apart the mistress and illegitimate child, gradually wavered and began to have some doubts.
It was true that Xia Ruzhi was a mistress, but Ruan Ming’s womanizing was known to everyone. In the early years, the mistresses around him gave birth to illegitimate children during the marriage, and Xia Ruzhi wasn’t the only one. Moreover, Xia Ruzhi wasn’t Ruan Ming’s first mistress, so why didn’t Ruan Tang confront them, but only confronted Xia Ruzhi?
It was simply because Xia Ruzhi became Mrs. Ruan, and Ruan Zhuoxu was the heir, and he was dissatisfied, right?
But strictly speaking, when Tang Yun had an accident, Ruan Tang was so young. Even if she was a stepmother, Xia Ruzhi raised him to be so big, and even if she didn’t treat him as well as her own children, he didn’t lack food or clothing.
Seeing that Ruan Tang took so many assets from the Ruan family after getting married, and Ruan Ming invested so much money in the foundation established by Tang Yun and her children, responsible for their future lives, it was enough to show that even if the Ruan family wasn’t very good to Ruan Tang, they didn’t mistreat him.
Ruan Tang’s current wayward and tyrannical, arrogant and unruly appearance, which seemed to be influenced by Auston, really made him seem like a white-eyed wolf, with a bad character.
Many people were brainwashed by Ruan Zhuoxu and began to sympathize with Xia Ruzhi.
The Ruan family’s affairs were really difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs. Everyone had their own reasons, and it was impossible to tell.
“Xiao Xu…” Xia Ruzhi immediately wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looking at her eldest son with a white lotus appearance.
Previously, because of Ruan Xi’s matter, her reputation was damaged a lot. Fortunately, she had this eloquent eldest son, and she had this opportunity to clear her name.
Ruan Zhuoxu gently supported her and called out, “Mother…”
Ruan Tang, looking at the affectionate appearance of their mother and son, and the subtle gazes of contempt from the people around him, couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. Ruan Zhuoxu was so skilled at distorting the facts and could use him to clear his name so confidently. He really had good methods.
However, he was no longer what he used to be. Even if their methods were superb, they wouldn’t affect him in the slightest.
The path he was walking now was the most dangerous path in the world. Maybe one day he would fail and lose his life. Did he still care about a good reputation or not?
He now only wanted to be like Auston, to take revenge for revenge and grievances for grievances,Have fun at will.
“Clap clap clap -”
Ruan Tang sneered and directly applauded Ruan Zhuoxu and Xia Ruzhi’s performance: “You performed well, why don’t you continue?”
“Ungrateful son, what level do you want to make a scene to? You are now developed, frivolous, and the chairman of the Omega Protection Association, but you have to know that the family is always the family, and relatives are always the relatives.” Ruan Ming was immediately furious, and he couldn’t care about his face to Ruan Tang, and he scolded: “Why don’t you apologize to your Aunt Xia?”
Seeing this, Xia Ruzhi also wanted to show off her virtuous and virtuous, white lotus side, and used Ruan Tang to clear her name. She immediately took a step forward, approaching Ruan Tang with a gentle and good mother-like appearance: “Xiao Tang, I watched you grow up. Although I don’t treat you as my own flesh and blood, I also treat you as a nephew… Seeing you like this now, my heart really hurts…”
This was her old trick. Anyway, Ruan Tang couldn’t do anything to her.
But she never thought that the current Ruan Tang was not the Ruan Tang of the past.
Seeing this enemy who had harmed his entire family approaching him, Ruan Tang was immediately furious, grabbed Xia Ruzhi’s hair, and punched her fake white lotus face with all his strength.
In the past, he didn’t care when Xia Ruzhi disgusted him, and felt that it didn’t cause him any real harm. Xia Ruzhi herself was also a pitiful person in Ruan Ming’s flirtatious and promiscuous ways.
But now, after knowing that his mother, older brother, and older sister were all harmed by her –
Ruan Tang didn’t plan to be polite with her at all.
“Ahhhhh-” Xia Ruzhi didn’t expect that he would dare to attack her, and immediately screamed miserably.
Ruan Tang didn’t intend to let her go. He punched her face several more times.
Ruan Ming and Ruan Zhuoxu reacted in the first moment and rushed forward to save Xia Ruzhi.
But they were directly stopped by Auston’s guards, who didn’t allow them to approach Ruan Tang half a step.
The sudden change made everyone present jump in fright, looking at Ruan Tang in disbelief, almost thinking that he had been with Auston for a long time and was infected by him, or had taken his medicine wrong, and had also begun to become violent.
