AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 64
by Volare“Father, please, don’t divorce Mom!” Ruan Zhuoxu and Ruan Xi knelt before him, pleading bitterly.
They knew clearly that if Ruan Ming divorced Xia Ruzhi, their status in the Ruan family would plummet, and everything would be over.
However, Ruan Ming’s heart was as cold as stone, unmoved: “Get out! Your mother has done such a rebellious thing. You still expect me not to divorce her? Do you want to harm the entire Ruan family? She’s not my original wife, just a mistress. Don’t expect me to share weal and woe with her!”
“Father…” Ruan Zhuoxu and Ruan Xi pleaded desperately.
Ruan Ming ignored them: “Don’t even think about trying to persuade me, or I will no longer have you two as sons from now on. I have plenty of sons; having two more won’t make a difference, and having two less won’t make a difference either.”
Even now, just thinking that Xia Ruzhi, a mere plaything he didn’t take seriously, dared to harm his children right under his nose, he itched with hatred and wished he could kill her himself.
Now, because of his disgust for Xia Ruzhi, he even found these two children, whom he once doted on but were born to Xia Ruzhi, displeasing to his eyes.
Xia Ruzhi was not Ruan Ming’s original wife. Ruan Ming had already risen to prominence when she married him. Ruan Ming didn’t trust Omegas, and he had always been wary of this second wife. He had notarized his assets before the marriage. Furthermore, the things Xia Ruzhi and her father had revealed this time were harming his children born to his original wife, making her the party at fault.
Xia Ruzhi was still in prison, and in less than two days, Ruan Ming had completed the divorce procedures with her, just as he had treated Tang Yun in the past. Xia Ruzhi didn’t get a single penny.
Ever since Ruan Xi transmigrated here, he had been relying on the system and the love of his original body’s mother and maternal grandparents to act like a tyrant. When had he ever experienced such a drastic rise and fall?
Seeing Ruan Ming being so cold and heartless, he suddenly felt like his whole world had collapsed.
He had no idea what to do.
Auston and Ruan Tang, along with Ruan Yang, mobilized their respective connections and forces to contribute. Before long, even with fragmented evidence, they still thoroughly investigated how the Xia father and daughter colluded with high-ranking military officials and Ruan family servants to poison Tang Yun’s food and tamper with Ruan Yang’s mecha. The evidence was conclusive.
This case involved a wide range of people, and it even uncovered many other illegal activities of the Xia family, as well as several high-ranking officials and an underground illegal drug trafficking organization, shocking the entire empire.
Many people related to the Xia family were implicated and held accountable.
It was only because Ruan Ming’s political acumen had always been relatively sharp, and although he was related by marriage, he had never waded into the muddy waters of the Xia family, and this time he decisively divorced and severed ties quickly, that he was not implicated and barely escaped the disaster.
However, due to the relationship by marriage, the Ruan family also suffered a considerable blow and suffered heavy losses.
The crimes of Xia Ruzhi and her father, as well as a group of accomplices, were completely confirmed, and they were officially taken into custody, waiting for a formal trial and national sentencing.
Because of this major case, the names of the Ruan Tang and Ruan Yang brothers were almost constantly on the trending topics of the Star Blog.
Ruan Tang’s popularity greatly increased throughout the empire, becoming a representative of outstanding young Omegas, while Ruan Yang was repeatedly popularized on the internet for his glorious war exploits in the past, once again becoming a national idol.
Before the Xia Ruzhi case went to trial, Ruan Yang’s rehabilitation was announced to be over, and his body had completely recovered under the regulation of professional medical staff.
After discussing it, the brothers officially announced the news to the public.
The news of Ruan Yang’s awakening once again bombed the entire empire’s populace.
All the people who had watched this incident and had not yet emerged from the ups and downs of the plot cried out: “Heaven has eyes, good people still have good rewards. Look up to the sky, heaven spares no one!”
“It’s so satisfying, it feels like reading a satisfying novel… The face-slapping is powerful! Evil people are punished, and good people recover.”
“This is definitely the most satisfying plot I’ve seen this year.”
“Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter, the vicious mistress made a lot of trouble but ultimately got nothing.”
“This plot is simply delightful.”
Before Ruan Yang fell into a coma, because of his outstanding military exploits, the Imperial Military Department and high-level officials originally planned to award him the rank of lieutenant general when he returned in triumph. However, because Ruan Yang had an accident and remained in a coma for many years, the matter was temporarily shelved.
This time, Ruan Yang woke up, and his military exploits were popularized again and again. In addition, it was found that his accident was caused by internal strife and lax supervision within the military department, so the empire should give him certain compensation.
In addition, the Empress’s forces wanted to take this opportunity to support Ruan Tang again and add wings to their forces, so they mediated and exerted pressure.
Even if the Emperor had many concerns in his heart and was worried about the Empress’s forces growing stronger, after several meetings and discussions between the high-level officials of the Imperial Council and the military department.
The Emperor still decided to award Ruan Yang the rank of lieutenant general.
From the youngest major general to lieutenant general, it seemed like Ruan Yang had only taken a nap.
And for Ruan Tang, in addition to Auston, this husband, he had another general brother as an assistant… These two genuine weights made his position in the Imperial Star’s aristocratic circle suddenly become even more powerful.
The Ruan brothers were suddenly in the limelight.
“Ayang, Ayang, you’re awake, why didn’t you tell your father? Father misses you very much, and is very worried about you… Father knows that Father was wrong, but Father was also temporarily confused and deceived by that woman. Just believe, forgive your confused father…” After Ruan Yang woke up, Ruan Ming squatted at the Auston Duke’s manor several times.
He was invited out by Ruan Tang each time.
It wasn’t until this time, when Ruan Yang returned from the military department, that he blocked Ruan Yang and Ruan Tang at the door, desperately playing the emotional card.
Unlike Ruan Tang, who he didn’t raise himself, Ruan Ming truly felt like he was showing a loving fatherly sentiment towards Ruan Yang: “Ayang, Xiaotang, I know you brothers resent me, but your brother really misunderstood me. Listen to your father explain.”
His body was already destroyed, and he couldn’t pilot a mecha anymore.
Even with the title of Marshal, he had no real power.
The Ruan family had no promising people. The news of his most valued son Ruan Yang awakening was simply the greatest good news for Ruan Ming.
No one was happier than him. Ruan Ming simply felt that this was a gift from heaven.
He couldn’t wait to bring this son back to his side.
“Marshal Ruan, please respect yourself. I’m not that familiar with you.” Ruan Yang didn’t care about his affection. He pushed Ruan Ming’s hand away and pulled Ruan Tang, who also didn’t care, back to the Duke’s manor.
For this biological father, who couldn’t even squeeze out time to see him during his coma for so many years, Ruan Yang really found it hard to believe that he was deeply devoted to him.
Seeing that both of his sons didn’t care about him and didn’t take him seriously, Ruan Ming’s smile suddenly froze on his face, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Under the supervision of the entire empire’s populace, the Xia Ruzhi father and daughter case soon went to trial.
Ruan Tang dressed solemnly and arrived at the court with Ruan Yang, who was wearing the uniform of a lieutenant general, looking at the Xia Ruzhi father and daughter in a disheveled state.
Looking at Ruan Yang, who had recovered as before and was wearing the uniform of a lieutenant general, Xia Ruzhi’s eyes almost bled with hatred, and she couldn’t wait to pounce on him and devour these two children born to Tang Yun.
It was just a pity that she would never have such an opportunity in her life.
The Xia family’s accomplices were almost completely wiped out under the joint pressure of Auston, Ruan Yang, and Ruan Tang.
For such a shocking case that received widespread attention from the entire society and had a bad impact, the Xia Ruzhi father and daughter were sentenced severely.
Xia Zhongming and many high-level officials of the Xia family who participated in attacking Ruan Yang, as well as the military executives they colluded with, were all sentenced to death.
And Xia Ruzhi was sentenced to life imprisonment. She would spend her entire life in prison, losing her freedom and never coming out again…
At the moment the verdict was handed down, Ruan Tang and Ruan Yang looked at each other, feeling that their great revenge had been avenged.
After the verdict was over, they went to the Imperial Resident Name Administration at the same time to file a request for a name change, to change their surnames to Tang, following Tang Yun.
For Ruan Ming’s Ruan surname, at this moment, both brothers were extremely disgusted.
Their name change review was quickly approved and uploaded to the internet, causing the netizens who were still eating melons to exclaim: “It’s so satisfying!”
“Scumbags deserve such retribution.”
Ruan Tang and Ruan Yang’s actions completely broke off relations with their father Ruan Ming and drew a clear line. Ruan Ming, who always valued his reputation and face the most, never thought that he would have such an ending of being slapped in the face by his two sons, and almost fainted from anger.
Another son, born to a mistress waiting to take over, immediately took him to the hospital.
Sometimes, people’s good luck and bad luck seem to come one after another. On the day Ruan Tang and Ruan Yang changed their names and Xia Ruzhi’s verdict was announced.
The doctor at the Duke’s manor brought good news to Ruan Tang again.
The toxins in Ruan Tang’s mother Tang Yun’s body had been almost completely eliminated, and she had completely woken up.
A large tube of residual toxic blood was drawn from Tang Yun by medical equipment, and her eyes gradually became clear.
Ruan Tang and Ruan Yang guarded her, each holding her hand on the left and right, extremely excited: “Mom, I’m Xiaotang, do you still recognize me? Xia Ruzhi has been sentenced, and the Xia family is finished. All our revenge has been avenged, and we can live a good life in the future.”
Tang Yun looked at Ruan Tang in front of her. Although they met every day, her consciousness was unclear, and she had long been unable to recognize the thriving Omega in front of her as the small, white, and glutinous rice ball in her arms back then.
When she gave birth to Ruan Tang, her relationship with Ruan Ming was no longer as loving as it used to be. She only gave birth to this child out of spite, in order to maintain the family and help the eldest son and daughter consolidate their position, and to fight against Ruan Ming’s mistresses.
When she first gave birth to Ruan Tang, she didn’t hesitate or question whether she had done something wrong, whether she shouldn’t have brought an innocent life into the world in order to maintain such a fragmented marriage. Sometimes she even thought that maybe it was already like this, and it would be better for her to cut the Gordian knot and divorce Ruan Ming.
But such thoughts and regrets disappeared at once when she saw Ruan Tang—
She was a woman with strong maternal instincts.
In her eyes, even if Ruan Tang was no longer the crystallization of love, she was still her angel.
“You… you are Xiaotang, you have grown so big?” Tang Yun was tearful, clutching Ruan Tang’s hand tightly, choked out a voice, and looked at her eldest son beside her: “Ayang, Ayang, you are awake too…”
There was also a sob in Ruan Yang’s voice: “Yes, Mother.”
Tang Yun looked at her two sons in front of her, carefully recalling the vague memories and experiences of her dementia for so many years, and burst into tears while hugging them.
Ruan Yang and Ruan Tang were also emotionally moved by her emotions.
The three of them hugged each other tightly, feeling that the sky that had been cloudy for a long time had finally cleared.
Ruan Tang reported everything that happened today, one by one, to Auston, who still ignored him as always.
Only after Ruan Tang sent a message telling him that his name in the legal sense had been changed to Tang, following Tang Yun.
Auston sent him a message: “If I remember correctly, your mother’s surname is Tang, right? So, your name is now Tang Tang?”
Ruan Tang’s name was originally a combination of Ruan Ming and Tang Yun’s surnames. Now that the Ruan surname was removed, only two Tangs were left.
