AMRWFA -Chapter 319 An Unconventional “Witness”

Ruan Tailai: “But that was in the past…”

Back then, he had been “controlled” and had no choice.

Now that he was clear-headed, couldn’t they break up?

Obviously not. Xia Yue was unwilling to accept it at all. She hadn’t even “taken her revenge” yet—how could Ruan Tailai break up with her? If anything, she should be the one to dump him.

Xia Yue angrily “questioned” Ruan Tailai, looking like she had just encountered a scumbag.

Ruan Shizhong directly stated: “My son is a scumbag. He doesn’t like you anymore—are you really going to keep him for New Year’s? Hurry up and break up, then find a man who truly loves you. Stop wasting time entangled with my son, this scumbag.”

Ruan Tailai: “……”

Waaah…

I’m so miserable!

I was a perfectly normal man, and suddenly I’ve become a scumbag for no reason at all!

【Like father, like son. Looks like Xia Yue is pretty miserable too. She originally wanted to use my nephew to take revenge on my older brother and sister-in-law, but instead she got played by him. Tsk tsk tsk…】

【Wait a second, wasn’t the plot saying she and my nephew were supposed to be a couple? How did things turn out like this?】

【Don’t tell me… my nephew was afraid of his father and was forced to break up?】

【If that’s the case, it actually makes sense. No wonder Xia Yue later got so furious that she went straight to my sister-in-law and stabbed her.】

【Probably because she was stopped by my brother and sister-in-law, and couldn’t vent her anger, so she snapped.】

【Tch, even the “story details” didn’t include this.】

……

Ruan Shizhong and Ruan Tailai: “……”

You’re really good at making things up on your own, aren’t you?

The father and son tacitly agreed: they would rather be labeled “scumbags” than stay entangled with Xia Yue.

Xia Yue was furious. She stood up on the spot and splashed a cup of coffee directly onto Ruan Tailai’s face, shouting: “Ruan Tailai, you heartless bastard! I will not let you get away with this!”

Ruan Tailai wiped the coffee off his face, feeling like he had contributed quite a lot to today’s drama.

Then he looked up—and saw his uncle-in-law Leng Shuwen sitting at the next table, wearing an indescribable expression.

If it were only his uncle-in-law, it would’ve been fine.

But sitting across from him was a young woman—his former crush.

Ruan Tailai almost wanted to cry.

Ahhh…

He thought that after resolving this matter, he could go back and pursue her again. He never expected her to witness this scene. How was he supposed to pursue her now?

Leng Shuwen, who had originally just come out for a business meeting, was now equally speechless after “listening” to this entire mess:

Who could have expected that just coming out to meet a client would let him witness his wife’s maternal relatives acting like such “scumbags”?

Oh, and it wasn’t just them—there was also a sister-in-law hiding at another table, whispering a long string of commentary into his ear.

If he weren’t calm enough, he would’ve scared away the client sitting across from him.

“Yun… Yun Yun… what are you doing here?”

When Ruan Tailai walked up to her, Lu Yunyun’s expression was equally complicated.

Back when this senior had pursued her, she had actually been a little moved. But for some reason later, he suddenly “fell for someone else,” so she gave up on him and focused on learning business from her father.

Today she had come with her father to gain experience in the business world—and this was the “experience” she got.

“Sorry, Senior Ruan, I’m busy right now. Let’s talk another time.”

Meaning: if there’s nothing important, don’t contact me again.

Ruan Tailai, thick-skinned as ever, turned his attention to Leng Shuwen instead and greeted him: “Uncle-in-law, I didn’t expect to see you here. Can I sit here and learn from you?”

Leng Shuwen wasn’t stupid. The moment his nephew came over, he didn’t greet him first but instead went straight to talk to the secretary beside Miss Lu—it was obvious what was going on.

He really wanted to say: Nephew, you just finished being labeled a scumbag, and now you’re already chasing another girl. Is that appropriate?

Didn’t you see the sharp look in Mr. Lu’s eyes?

Although Mr. Lu didn’t say anything, both he and the secretary had the surname Lu—it was obvious they were related.

This kid really…

【Huh?】

【Isn’t this the “side character” next to my nephew?】

【Wait… why do I feel like she’s actually his real destined partner?】

【If she’s his real partner, then how did she get pushed aside in the story?】

【Oh… so she got sidelined by the female lead.】

【Right, Xia Yue is the “female lead” with plot power. No wonder she couldn’t resist it.】

【My poor nephew… what bad luck. He finally met his true match, and she saw him acting like a scumbag. No wonder she ran.】

Without hearing her inner voice, Ruan Tailai would’ve already been miserable.

But now that he heard it, he felt even worse.

Waaah…

My destined partner ran away!

So this was my real wife!

Originally, Ruan Shizhong didn’t want to interfere—it was embarrassing—but after hearing this, he could only bite the bullet and step in for his son.

“Brother-in-law, who are these two?”

Leng Shuwen looked at the father and son, his head already starting to hurt.

He had just come out to do business—was this really necessary?

So unnecessary, right?

In the end, he had no choice but to introduce both sides while suppressing his frustration. For emphasis, he specifically highlighted Ruan Shizhong’s identity and completely ignored Ruan Tailai.

Mr. Lu, who already felt like this father and son were eyeing his daughter like wolves eyeing cabbage, thought:

Oh, so they’re from the Ruan Group.

No wonder. Just a spoiled second-generation heir.

He gave his daughter Lu Yunyun a look, signaling her to stay far away from this type of man in the future.

If she wanted to inherit the family business, she absolutely must not get involved with someone like him.

Of course, he still maintained surface politeness. After all, the Ruan and Leng families were both influential in their circle—face had to be preserved.

So he forced a smile and went through the motions.

After finally getting through the awkward situation, Mr. Lu quickly left with his daughter.

He apologized to her on the way out.

“Dad, why are you apologizing all of a sudden?”

Mr. Lu sighed. “Anyone with eyes can see that guy was targeting you. You’ve been wronged. I should’ve taken you and left immediately, but with the Ruan and Leng families involved, it wouldn’t be good to fall out with them.”

“Dad, what are you talking about? He did pursue me before, but later he told me he had someone he liked. Since he already had a girlfriend, it had nothing to do with me anymore.”

“He pursued you before?” Mr. Lu frowned. So that guy really had designs on his daughter.

Lu Yunyun nodded, but emphasized that it was all in the past. A man like that—who likes one person after another—was absolutely not someone she would ever get involved with again.

But Mr. Lu still wasn’t fully at ease. He felt the young man hadn’t truly let go. Otherwise, after running into such an embarrassing situation, he wouldn’t have still pushed forward.

And as if fate was mocking him—

Very soon, he would discover that the person responsible for the business cooperation between the Lu and Leng families… was none other than Ruan Tailai.

Mr. Lu: “……”

Lu Yunyun: “……”
