AMRWFA -Chapter 320 Yun Jinxian’s Sudden Outburst

Of course, that was a story for later.

At this moment, Leng Shuwen was coldly questioning Ruan Tailai about what had just happened—when did he start dating, and why hadn’t the family heard a single rumor about it?

And more importantly—he had just broken up with someone, so why was he now “entangling” that girl’s secretary?

Ruan Tailai lowered his head, his face burning with shame.

“Children are debts,” sighed Ruan Shizhong. “Young people being inexperienced is normal. He just made the kind of mistake any man in the world could make. He’ll change later. From what I see, Miss Lu is his true destined partner. So I want to discuss something with you—could you let him intern at your company so he can learn more?”

Leng Shuwen sneered.

“So going to my company to help is fake, and using public resources for private gain to create opportunities for him to meet Miss Lu is the real goal, right? The Lu family head is surnamed Lu, and Miss Lu’s surname is also Lu—don’t you see the problem here? And you’re asking me this after he just had such an ugly breakup with his ex and it all ended up right in front of her… How do you even have the nerve to ask me this?”

Ruan Shizhong understood his brother-in-law’s temperament well. Without another word, he directly offered to reduce profits from their cooperation just to buy his nephew a chance.

Leng Shuwen asked again, “Destined partner?”

Ruan Shizhong nodded.

Leng Shuwen: “Did you hear what she just said?”

Ruan Shizhong nodded again, silently thinking to himself: I didn’t say it first—he said it himself!

I even helped you “test” it. No need to thank me—just help my son catch his “destined partner.”

At this point, after finishing her gossip session, Ruan Yaoyao had already slipped away.

She had originally just come to “witness” how her elder brother and nephew handled that rotten peach blossom named Xia Yue, but unexpectedly she not only saw the rotten peach blossom—but also witnessed her nephew’s “fated match,” and even saw the breakup drama involving both.

【Tsk tsk…】

【How pitiful.】

【Whether or not the rotten peach blossom was successfully shaken off is still unclear, but the real peach blossom was already cut off first. I wonder if he’ll regret it later.】

【Probably. A good match, gone just like that.】

For a moment, she even felt a bit sympathetic toward her nephew. If it weren’t for the plot controlling things, he and his destined partner would have dated properly for a few years and then ended up together. Instead, a “plot twist” came out of nowhere and ruined everything.

As for whether she should help him—sorry, she wasn’t that “kind.”

He wasn’t dying or anything. He just lost one peach blossom. Wouldn’t another grow later?

If he ended up single forever, that was his fate. There were plenty of single people in the world anyway.

While she was muttering to herself, those who could hear her thoughts—Ruan Zhihe and Ru Anzhi—were already getting a headache.

Because according to Ruan Yaoyao’s original plan, the matter of her sister Ruan Tingting cheating was supposed to be kept secret.

But now…

“What do we do?”

“Don’t ask me! How would I know? He can hear Mom’s thoughts. As soon as he sees her, he’ll know what’s going on. This can’t be hidden!”

“Then we stop hiding it?”

“But Mom wants to keep it hidden.”

“Then let Fourth Aunt confess herself. That way, even if Mom finds out later, she won’t be blamed.”

“But I don’t think Fourth Aunt has the courage.”

“Then ask her directly—does she want to live or die? If she’s worried about the father of the child treating the kid badly, that’s unlikely. Based on our investigation, even though Fourth Uncle has a villainous reputation, he hasn’t actually done anything extreme… apart from having a few women outside.”

In high society circles, men who weren’t faithful were everywhere. Leng Shuwen’s flaws weren’t even that unusual.

What made people afraid of him was his ruthlessness.

But even then, his “ruthlessness” stayed just within legal boundaries—gray areas, but nothing truly illegal.

He was a smart man who knew how to use resources around him, ruthless to others, and even harsher on himself.

He knew exactly what could be done and what couldn’t.

For example, he might intimidate competitors, but he would never cause a death or leave evidence behind.

Anyone who wanted to take him down would first need proof.

Without proof, he would not hesitate to strike back decisively.

“I think the key issue is whether Fourth Aunt dares to divorce. If she doesn’t dare, then even if Fourth Uncle finds out, he won’t really do anything to her—at most she’ll suffer a bit.”

As for what “suffer a bit” meant, Xu Chengyan didn’t elaborate.

He didn’t know Leng Shuwen well enough to judge exactly what he would do, but judging from the fact that he himself had nearly been dragged into legal trouble more than once, he guessed it wouldn’t be pretty.

Being locked up, getting slapped, or sustaining injuries that wouldn’t easily be classified as severe in hospital records—those were all possible.

After all, no man with a bit of backbone would go easy on a wife who cheated and even bore an illegitimate child.

Ru Anzhi glared at him. “Are you saying she deserves it?”

“That’s just the truth. She betrayed Fourth Uncle first.”

But Yun Jinxian would not tolerate that logic.

“Yes, your Fourth Aunt was wrong for cheating. But does that make your Fourth Uncle right for keeping mistresses and having illegitimate children? Who cheated first? Who stopped treating the family as a family? If men can do it, why can’t women?”

“That… that’s different…” Xu Chengyan immediately lost confidence when he saw her anger.

“Different how? Your Fourth Uncle is a human being, and your Fourth Aunt isn’t? Just because he’s a man, you empathize with him more? If this happened to your own mother, would you still say he was right?”

She continued sharply, her eyes red with emotion: “You’re all living together happily now—but what price was paid for that harmony? Don’t you ever feel wronged? Don’t you think your mother was wronged?”

She pointed at Xu Lianghan.

Did he feel no resentment about not being a legitimate child?

Xu Chengyan once ran away from home out of anger—didn’t the mother also feel hurt and unwilling?

And what about Ru Anzhi—did he ever think about how painful it must have been for his adoptive mother to lose her biological son?

And finally, she turned her questioning toward Xu Nannan and Xu Hongye:

Did they think growing up with their biological parents meant they owed nothing? That their mother’s suffering had nothing to do with them?

Did they realize that getting along peacefully with the children of their mother’s romantic rival was, in itself, a kind of betrayal?
