AMRWFA -Chapter 177 She Seemed Unable to Feel the Pain on Her Face

Ruan Yaoyao understood instantly. Saying that “Mao-someone” loved her husband—yes, she did love him. But being with the same person every day, it was normal to occasionally have a “mental affair” moment.

So when she saw her third sister and her little “milk dog” doing all sorts of things, she felt a bit envious.

And once that envy went too far, it turned into excessive attention. And because she was paying too much attention, she discovered that her third sister had “illegally detained” her little milk dog’s childhood friend.

Ruan Yaoyao: 【……】

【No, shouldn’t you call the police when something like this happens?】

【Instead, your solution was to let him go—and also casually grab his butt? You even took advantage of him?!】

Hu Xiaoyan suddenly turned around: What did you just say?

Who grabbed whose butt?

Was she hearing things? She could actually do something like that?

But honestly, Hu Xiaoyan wasn’t too shocked—Mao-someone usually acted like she was deeply in love with her husband, as if she couldn’t live without him.

Hu Xiaoyan even suspected she had been PUA’d by both her father and her husband. A person like that… could still have a “mental affair”?

For a moment, she wondered if she had misjudged Mao.

As for Ruan Yaoyao, she realized something—she might have been tracking the wrong “label.”

【Stand-in lover… wet-shirt seduction?】

When Hu Xiaoyan heard the new label, she had been thinking about whether to pretend she “recognized” their mistake and turn back to find Mao.

But after hearing this “label,” she suddenly didn’t want to move anymore.

Wet-shirt seduction—who wouldn’t want to see that?

Yu Xiangqiao and Yun Jinxian nodded in agreement: Want!

Ruan Zhihé: ……Am I supposed to want this or not?

【Oh, so it turns out that he accidentally discovered that his third sister’s roommate looked a lot like his ex. To make up for not being with his ex, he took the initiative to confess and got together with her, and then…】

【????】

【So he doesn’t actually like her, just her face?!】

【Ah, I get it—she’s a stand-in.】

【But what does Mao have to do with this?】

【Oh, Mao met his ex-girlfriend before and felt that his brother’s “stand-in romance” was meaningless, so she advised them to break up and not toy with others’ feelings.】

【Wow, turns out Mao is actually kind of good?】

Hu Xiaoyan: If you hadn’t said it, I really wouldn’t have known she could do something good like that!

So the label belongs to her older brother?

Their family sure has a lot of labels—starting from her, then her third sister, and now her brother. That’s already three, right?

【Their relationship is basically… you’re a stand-in, so you can’t cross the line. So they’re cold and hot, unpredictable, sometimes affectionate, sometimes giving silent treatment…】

【Damn! Silent treatment—that’s what I hate the most! If you have something to say, just say it clearly! Why the silent treatment?!】

【So annoying!】

【Oh, he’s generous with money.】

【Okay, I like that part. That actually sounds like my useless husband!】

【She found out and was very heartbroken, even once wanted to commit suicide… she didn’t even think about breaking up, just suicide?!】

【Sorry, that doesn’t sound like me. I would never kill myself for a man!】

【In the end, they still got married, but Mao’s brother suffered a bit—because he had previously advised them to break up, they ended up hating him for it and even targeted him later.】

【????】

【You’re in a stand-in drama, and she told you to break up—wasn’t that normal?!】

Ruan Yaoyao couldn’t understand her brother’s logic and felt sympathy for Mao.

Because she realized Mao wasn’t only being “targeted” by her brother.

It seemed her parents, third sister, fourth sister—everyone in the family—disliked her and wanted to “punish” her.

【And the punishment was to force her to divorce and become an unwanted, aging woman?!】

Ruan Yaoyao’s expression was indescribable.

【Why are the Ou family’s thought processes so strange?】

Hu Xiaoyan: Exactly!

She was also divorced, but she didn’t feel miserable at all. The important thing was finally seeing the truth and no longer being deceived.

But if it were Mao…

Hu Xiaoyan wasn’t sure. A woman who devoted herself entirely to her family, who would cry just because her husband thought she was fat—could she accept such an ending?

Unfortunately, in Mao’s brother’s storyline, what Ruan Yaoyao saw was only a happy ending of him getting married. There was nothing after that.

A HE “happy ending”, everyone understood that.

But this kind of HE…

Heh.

Only those involved would know how it truly felt.

Just when they thought it was over, they heard Mao’s voice—she was crying and pleading for her husband, Mou Mingxu’s forgiveness.

【What? It’s been so long and she still hasn’t resolved it?】

Hu Xiaoyan: Yeah, I want to know too.

Then they saw Mao’s brother move toward the sound.

They followed a bit further and saw Mou Mingxu walking ahead, while she tugged at him from behind, crying as she pulled.

Mou Mingxu looked impatient, telling her to stay away—her crying was annoying.

“Cough cough!”

Mao’s brother cleared his throat twice.

When Mao saw him, she looked like she had seen a savior. She immediately let go of Mou Mingxu and walked toward her brother.

“Brother…”

“What are you doing?”

If it were Ruan Yaoyao, she would definitely complain and ask for support.

But Mao did this instead—she wiped her tears, pitifully said: “Brother, I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have been thinking about my third sister’s boyfriend, shouldn’t have touched his butt. I’m trash, I’m not human…”

And she slapped herself.

“Pa—!”

The slap was so hard that even from a distance, they could feel it. Her face was probably already swelling.

“Brother, please help me beg Mou Mingxu for forgiveness. I know I was wrong, I’ll change, I really will…”

She seemed not to feel the pain at all as she grabbed her brother’s hand, pleading desperately.

Her brother looked toward them. They couldn’t see his expression, only saw him turn and look at Mou Mingxu.

“This matter should be dropped. She and your girlfriend didn’t have any real relationship. In the future, I’ll make sure third sister keeps a closer eye on her boyfriend and prevents unnecessary contact. You should also keep an eye on her, and it’ll be fine. As compensation, this project…”

Ruan Yaoyao was stunned.

【Wait, you’re just compensating him?!】

【You don’t even ask what actually happened?!】

【With your sister’s personality, can’t you guess what went on?!】

Everyone: “……”

So rich!

That opening line—“compensation”—who wouldn’t want a brother like that?!

Even Mou Mingxu, who was “insulted” by the compensation, left immediately, clearly unwilling to accept it.

Ruan Yaoyao really wanted to say:

【If you don’t want it, give it to me! I want it!】

【I don’t mind!】

Mou Mingxu left without hesitation, leaving space for the siblings.

Ruan Yaoyao thought the brother would say something more, but he only said:

“Take care of yourself.”

And then he left too.

Ruan Yaoyao: 【?】

【So cold? That’s your biological sister!】

【You just leave like that?】

【You really left?!】
