AMRWFA -Chapter 286 Suit-Clad Beast

Xiao Shao’s “tag” above his head was very obvious, while the tags on his family members were much dimmer and almost invisible—faint and dull. But if you looked closely, you could still make out words like “cannon fodder” and “tool character.”

What surprised Ruan Yaoyao the most was that Xiao Shao’s elder brother, Xiao Hong, actually seemed to have quite a lot of story significance. He was even clearly labeled as the “male supporting role number three.”

Ruan Yaoyao flipped here and there, thoroughly enjoying herself.

【Oh, so it was this person who caused Xiao Shao to get lost back then!】

【So Madam Xiao had actually sensed something, but because she only had two sons—and one was already lost—she was afraid the other might also be harmed, so she pretended to be deaf and dumb and acted like she knew nothing.】

【Tsk tsk tsk… didn’t expect that. Madam Xiao is quite selfish!】

【She kept shouting that she did it for the Xiao family, for Xiao Hong, but in reality…】

【It was for herself. She was afraid that if it was discovered Xiao Hong was involved, she would lose her position as Madam Xiao.】

【Her husband isn’t anything good either—always messing around outside. No wonder Madam Xiao felt insecure, afraid that illegitimate children outside would be brought back to fight for inheritance.】

【Oh, so the Xiao family’s second branch is also eyeing the inheritance.】

【Wait—Second Uncle Xiao is actually planning to marry his daughter off to a domestic abuser?!】

【Hold on, that young master from the Chen family actually has abusive tendencies?!】

Ruan Yaoyao had never heard that the Chen family’s eldest young master had such a problem. She only knew he was quite flirtatious and seemed to have caused a lot of trouble, all of which his family paid to settle.

But she didn’t expect that Chen’s young master wasn’t just womanizing—he was “wild” in bed in a way that could literally kill someone.

And he also had violent tendencies.

Second Uncle Xiao had already found out about all this, but in order to curry favor with the Chen family, he didn’t care at all and still planned to form a marriage alliance, preparing to marry his own daughter, Xiao Yinghe, into that family.

However, Xiao Yinghe didn’t really know the full situation. She only knew her family wanted to use her for marriage, and upon hearing it was that playboy from the Chen family, she was very unwilling.

So recently, Xiao Yinghe had been “arguing” with her family.

Xiao Shao’s aunt’s family was also quite problematic.

Although she was already married, she lived in the Xiao family mansion like she was a live-in son-in-law family, relying on the old master letting crumbs fall through his fingers so they could live comfortably and freely.

She also seemed unwilling to accept that she was a daughter with no power to compete for inheritance. So she sent many women to the old master, planning to “use illegitimate children to control the court.”

In short, she intended to support an illegitimate son into power so she would gain leverage in the inheritance battle.

Ruan Yaoyao was stunned.

【How many people does the Xiao family even have? Why is this gossip so complicated?!】

【I can’t even sort it out.】

Hu Xiaoyan, who was listening beside her, silently agreed: I can’t sort it out either! Who exactly is related to whom?!

Ruan Zhihe silently noted down the Chen family’s young master who had allegedly killed someone in bed, planning to investigate him later.

Oh right, and also the case of Xiao Hong deliberately “losing” his own younger brother.

……

On one side, they were recording “criminal information,” while on the other, they were eating gossip until their minds were in chaos. Ruan Yaoyao herself had truly broadened her horizons with the Xiao family.

But the most important thing was still the “gossip” about Xiao Shao.

Don’t forget—he was the male lead.

Just seeing the title, Ruan Yaoyao was already impressed.

【Look at this, look at this title. So grounded in reality.】

【“Suit-Clad Beast: Xiao Ye’s Beloved Pet” tsk tsk tsk…】

Puff—

Hu Xiaoyan almost couldn’t hold back her laughter.

On one side was “Xiao Ye,” and on the other was a childlike-faced Xiao Shao. Sorry, she really couldn’t connect the two.

What was even more interesting was that Xiao Shao’s story had already begun.

From the moment he returned to the Xiao family, he first “played the fool to outsmart others,” then devoured the entire Xiao family in one bite, and afterward began sweet romantic entanglements with his female lead—engaging in a chase-and-run love game.

According to the details page, since he was titled “Suit-Clad Beast,” one could imagine how insane he was—he was practically dancing on the edge of legality.

Hiring assassins, poisoning, imprisonment, abuse…

Anything that could help him take revenge on the Xiao family and seize the inheritance, he did without hesitation.

【Didn’t his brother like making him disappear to prevent him from competing for inheritance?】

【Fine. Then in the future, Xiao Ye will simply make his brother “disappear” too—send him to a club and sell him off to clients with twisted preferences, ruin him completely.】

【His mother favored one child over another?】

【Good. Since she’s biased, her heart must be unhealthy. Then she should go to the hospital and get it treated. If this heart isn’t good, replace it.】

【Madam Xiao was manipulated by him into undergoing several heart transplants over the years.】

When she read this part, Ruan Yaoyao’s heart skipped a beat.

【The source of these hearts…】

Although the details page didn’t describe it, Ruan Yaoyao wasn’t stupid. Where in the world would there be so many fresh hearts waiting for selection? Who knew where Xiao Shao got them from?

Thinking about his involvement in underground organizations, she couldn’t help but suspect:

【These hearts… they’re probably not clean, are they?】

Hu Xiaoyan: …It’s probably not just “unclean.” It’s extremely unclean!

The question is—whose hearts were they?!

Earlier it was just gossip, but at this point, Hu Xiaoyan couldn’t even keep listening.

No wonder he was called “Suit-Clad Beast.” This Xiao Shao was truly terrifying.

Even his own mother—he could have her heart replaced without hesitation. It sent chills down one’s spine.

Ruan Zhihe: Record it. Must record it.

While they were still flipping through the information, movement suddenly came from not far away.

Ruan Yaoyao quickly looked over.

She saw a young girl standing in front of Xiao Shao with red eyes. She seemed to be apologizing, but Xiao Shao’s face was cold as ice, refusing to accept it.

【Oh… the female lead.】

【So this is when they “reunite.”】

【Am I a background character now?】

Hu Xiaoyan: Being a background character is pretty good. The ones with names are all miserable anyway.

Although their movements were small, many people had already noticed.

Someone muttered nearby:

“Look, isn’t that the young lady of the Song family?”

“Huh? They know each other?”

“No way. Didn’t they say the Song family’s daughter is very well-behaved? Is she even an adult? How is she at a place like this?”

“People aren’t always what they seem. Who knows if she’s secretly been there before? You know how messy this circle is…”

……

In an instant, many families who had been considering marriage alliances with the Song family gave up on the idea.

Although they had originally intended to form connections, they didn’t want to wrong their sons.

Previously, they considered it for two reasons: first, the Song family was fairly well-matched in status; second, the Song daughter was pretty and had a good reputation, so it seemed like a win-win marriage.

But now that they suddenly realized she might not be “clean,” it wouldn’t do.

Men could be flirtatious and keep women outside—but women couldn’t.

If she was already going to such places before marriage, then after marrying in, wouldn’t she end up cheating on their sons?
