AMRWFA -Chapter 159 The Old “White Moonlight”’s Scheme

Without needing Yu Xiangqiao to urge her, Ruan Yaoyao continued scrolling.

Unlike the “sweet romance” unfolding on Old Master Ou and Ou Xiangbin’s side, Dai Qinglan had truly crafted a complete, meticulous plan.

From a “chance encounter,” to “revisiting old memories,” to “marriage,” and finally to turning Old Master Ou’s assets into her legal property…

At her age, she obviously couldn’t have children anymore.

But that didn’t matter—her granddaughter Shen Yue had married Ou Xiangbin, so Shen Yue could give birth instead. In fact, before Shen Yue had even entered the family, Dai Qinglan had already arranged a “twin package” for her.

Next, she lavishly praised Ou Xiangbin, and even introduced a boyfriend to Old Master Ou’s youngest daughter, Ou Congyi. Whether he was a good person or not was unclear, but he was definitely her type.

Two sons and one daughter—two of them stood firmly on Dai Qinglan’s side. Only the eldest son, Ou Shidong, who had inherited the Ou Group, was excluded.

Because when Old Master Ou decided to remarry, Ou Shidong had a falling-out with him and directly moved out with his entire family.

Seizing this opportunity, Dai Qinglan spent her time subtly sowing discord, speaking ill of him behind his back.

Of course, she didn’t do it in a sharp or harsh way. Instead, she would tear up, looking heartbroken:

“Maybe… we should just forget it. Since your eldest son doesn’t approve of us being together, why should we force it? We’re already so old… we don’t have many years left. If fate allows, we’ll continue this in the next life.”

At the mention of the “next life,” Old Master Ou immediately grew upset:

“What next life? I want this life! I want to be with you in this life! I’m already so old—how many days do I even have left? If I don’t hurry and be with you, this life will be over!”

“Then… what about your eldest son? He’s already moved out.”

“Let him go! He’s grown up now, thinks his wings are strong. Fine! It’s not like he’s my only son.”

On the surface, Dai Qinglan kept persuading him otherwise, but behind the scenes, she kept adding fuel to the fire. She would occasionally remark that Ou Shidong was too unfilial—he’d been gone for so many days without even calling to check in.

By comparison, the second son Ou Xiangbin and the third daughter Ou Congyi seemed much more obedient. They came back almost every day to have meals with him and chat together.

The only thing that dissatisfied Old Master Ou was that Ou Xiangbin’s girlfriend was an ordinary woman. In his view, Ou Xiangbin should marry a well-matched heiress.

At this, Dai Qinglan showed a hurt expression and said:

“By your logic… does that mean I’m not worthy of you either? Not only am I an ordinary person, I’ve even been married before…”

Her eyes reddened, and Old Master Ou immediately felt distressed.

Ou Xiangbin promptly gave Dai Qinglan a thumbs-up, thinking his father’s “stepmother” was an excellent choice—she had just solved a huge problem for him.

As for the third daughter, Ou Congyi, she had chosen a poor painter. She called it “pursuing art,” but in Old Master Ou’s eyes, he was just living off others. Whether he had artistic talent or not was unclear, but if he couldn’t even support himself, how could he support his daughter?

Ou Congyi got angry: “Dad, what era are we in? Gender equality, okay? Why should I rely on him? I don’t need him to support me!”

“If you don’t rely on him, what about after you get married and have children? Won’t they need to be supported?”

Father and daughter were about to argue when Dai Qinglan quickly stepped in: “Think about us back then… put yourself in their shoes. Ping… didn’t we separate back then for all sorts of reasons? They’re just in love.”

“But… that boy simply isn’t worthy of my daughter.”

“He may not be now, but what about the future? Back when you were with me, didn’t my parents also say you weren’t worthy of me? And now… it’s me who isn’t worthy of you.”

“Qinglan, don’t say that! How could you not be worthy of me? In my heart, you’ve always been that secluded orchid—the most beautiful…”

Dai Qinglan lowered her head shyly.

The two elders started getting lovey-dovey right in front of Ou Congyi.

Ou Congyi: “……”

She was already a hopeless romantic. Now, with such a couple as an example right beside her, she became even more determined to stay with the man she loved.

【The eldest son’s family has been driven out.】

【The second child is love-brained.】

【The third child is love-brained.】

【Then the Ou family’s fortune…】

Sure enough, when Ruan Yaoyao scrolled further, after all the romantic drama, it revealed that Old Master Ou married Dai Qinglan without any prenuptial agreement.

That meant if anything happened to him, half of his assets would legally belong to Dai Qinglan.

The second son, Ou Xiangbin, had already been targeted by Shen Yue. The third daughter’s boyfriend was actually Dai Qinglan’s nephew.

In other words, aside from the eldest son’s family, almost the entire Ou family had fallen into Dai Qinglan’s hands.

And even then, she wasn’t satisfied—she had set her sights on the eldest son’s share as well.

【Greed truly knows no bounds!】

【You’ve already taken everything except the eldest son’s side, and you’re still not satisfied—stirring up conflict between father and son, between brothers, trying to make Ou Xiangbin fight for it… honestly…】

【If I were in my grave, I’d be so angry I’d come back to life!】

Ruan Yaoyao hurriedly glanced at her own sons.

【Thank goodness… although the eldest and second sons aren’t my biological children, they’re filial. They generally listen to what I say.】

【The eldest is already married, the second’s destined partner is set, and the third…】

She skipped over him.

Ru Anzhi loved his military uniform the most—there was no way he’d come back to fight over the company, so there was nothing to worry about.

Besides, Liang Shishi was also in the military and loved her uniform just as much. She would never encourage him to come back and fight for the company either.

That left the fourth and fifth…

【The most dangerous ones are the fourth and fifth. They’re both still single, and who knows what might happen.】

【Come to think of it, they’ve been away for so long… shouldn’t they come back by now?】

Ruan Yaoyao felt a bit nostalgic.

Although they weren’t very outstanding, they were the only children she had personally raised—the only biological ones who had grown up by her side.

Back then, she hadn’t “awakened” yet. She had raised the fourth to be innocent and adorable, someone devoted to art. Whether she might turn out like Ou family’s third daughter—it was hard to say.

As for the fifth…

A naïve and somewhat foolish college student—Ruan Yaoyao had no expectations.

While Ruan Yaoyao was lost in her thoughts, Yu Xiangqiao nearly lost control of her expression.

Mom, what exactly are you worried about?
Are you worried about your eldest son—or about the fourth and fifth?

Yu Xiangqiao glanced at her fourth younger sister, Xu Nannan—who wasn’t in the group chat but often sent her updates about her study tours—and felt their mother was overthinking things.

Xu Nannan might be a bit naïve, but she had seen the world. It wasn’t like just any man could easily deceive her, right?

Yu Xiangqiao quickly sent a message: “Your mom’s worried you’ll become love-brained! Be mentally prepared when you come back.”

Xu Nannan: “????”

Xu Nannan: “What’s wrong with my mom?”

Xu Nannan: “Has she gone crazy?”

Xu Nannan: “Even if my mom is love-brained, I wouldn’t be! Has she been reading too many romance novels again and lost her mind?”

Yu Xiangqi: “Not romance novels—but there is a real-life version.”
