AMRWFA -Chapter 384 Childhood Sweetheart Can’t Beat Fate’s Arrival

“Master, do you have a solution?” Fan Xin couldn’t hold back anymore and hurriedly asked.

“You have a childhood sweetheart named Lao Jianian, right?”

Fan Xin nodded. “Yes, I do. But he’s not important—the important ones are my parents and my brother…”

“No, he is very important.” Ruan Yaoyao shook her head. “He is your destined main love. Right now, he’s entangled in a peach blossom calamity. If he can’t overcome it, this calamity won’t just affect him—it will affect you, your parents, and your brother. This peach blossom calamity is no small matter. She won’t allow anyone who threatens her to remain alive.”

“So… I’ll die?” Surprisingly, Fan Xin didn’t feel shocked. After all, in that book, her ending had been miserable.

Betrayed by everyone, abandoned by all, she ended up hated by the masses—so heartbroken and despairing that she jumped off a building.

Fan Xin would never forget that feeling. At first, she thought something was wrong with her parents and brother. Now she realized—it wasn’t them. It was that bitch, Dai Yudie…

Fan Xin wished she could tear her apart.

“Your parents do love you,” Ruan Yaoyao said, looking straight into her eyes and exposing a truth she had never clearly realized. “But in their hearts, no matter how important you are, you’ll never be more important than your brother. The reason you feel loved by your parents is because your brother loves you. They dote on you to make him happy—that’s all.”

Fan Xin froze. “No… my parents used to love me a lot. Anything I wanted, they gave me…”

She tried to explain—tried to insist that she was even more important than her brother, and that her parents had only been bewitched by Dai Yudie, transferring their love onto her.

And her brother—her brother was an idiot too, willing to live or die for a woman, even abandoning his family.

Fan Xin rambled on and on.

Ruan Yaoyao didn’t interrupt. She simply watched Fan Xin’s desperate attempt to “convince herself,” a trace of sympathy in her eyes.

【Sigh…】

【Why won’t she believe it?】

【If her parents truly loved her that much, it wouldn’t have been so easily taken away.】

【And her brother… he’s the one truly affected by the protagonist’s halo…】

Fan Xin’s eyes instantly reddened. She didn’t want to accept it.

Ever since awakening, she had wanted to “save” them. But now someone was telling her—everything was fake. Her parents didn’t love her as much as she thought.

Ruan Yaoyao pulled out a tissue and gently handed it to her. “If you want to cry, then cry. You’ll feel better after letting it out.”

【Admitting your parents don’t love you that much is painful, but once you accept it, you’ll realize the world isn’t as terrible as you think.】

【The sun still rises, the earth keeps turning, and the friends who care about you are still there.】

Fan Xin unconsciously looked toward Li Haidong.

Friends? Do I even have any?

When she turned her head, she saw the concern in Li Haidong’s eyes.

Something in her heart seemed to be encouraged. She felt a little better.

At that moment, Ruan Yaoyao’s voice sounded again: “You actually have it better than me. At least your parents still love you. Even if it’s not as much as they love your brother, they were still willing—for his sake—to treat you like a little princess all these years. As for me, my parents’ way of loving me was to marry me off in an arranged alliance and make me live according to their plans.”

Fan Xin was shocked. “Aren’t you a master?”

“So what if I’m a master? I was young and foolish once too.” Ruan Yaoyao took a sip of tea. “You don’t seriously think everything I have now was innate, do you? Before my husband died, I was just a decorative vase, letting others manipulate me.”

Fan Xin looked to Li Haidong for confirmation, wanting to ask: Is that true? She’s not fooling me, right?

Li Haidong didn’t know Ruan Yaoyao’s past that clearly, but to comfort Fan Xin, she nodded anyway.

Ruan Yaoyao continued, “But look at me now—children all around me, more money than I can spend, and I’ve become a master. I’m doing just fine, aren’t I? So compared to that, your issues with your parents are nothing.”

Fan Xin: “…”

Master, you’re really good at comforting people!

“Your problem is actually easy to solve,” Ruan Yaoyao said. “First, you need to figure out what kind of life you want. Your life belongs to you—you should be the one deciding how to live it. As for that woman trying to replace you… so what if she’s a transmigrator? The fact that she envies you and wants to take everything from you shows her values are twisted. If you can’t handle someone like that, don’t you know how to call the police?”

“You can call the police for something like this?!”

“Why not? There’s the Special Affairs Bureau.” Ruan Yaoyao gestured for Ruan Zhihe to take out her work ID, indicating that they were exactly the kind of people who dealt with abnormal incidents.

With them around, no abnormal event was a problem.

Fan Xin suddenly understood.

That’s right—people call the police for normal problems, so why hadn’t she thought of it for this situation?

If ordinary police couldn’t handle it, what about the Special Affairs Bureau?

A moment later, realization hit her—so the country actually had a department specifically for dealing with things like this?

Looking at Li Haidong again, Fan Xin felt incredibly lucky. Thankfully, she hadn’t found it troublesome and had come to her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have found this connection so quickly.

When they parted, Ruan Yaoyao gave Fan Xin several talismans, telling her to find a way to give them to her parents and brother so they could carry them.

These wouldn’t directly wake them up, but they would at least prevent Dai Yudie from harming them in secret.

“If possible, I’d still like to meet your parents, your brother, and that transmigrator.”

“Okay! I’ll arrange it as soon as possible.”

…

The moment Fan Xin returned home, she was greeted by her mother’s look of disdain, asking where she had been. A girl shouldn’t be running around outside all day—it was improper.

Meanwhile, Dai Yudie clung to her mother’s arm, acting spoiled as if she were the real daughter, gently “persuading” her: “Auntie, maybe Sister had something important to do outside. She didn’t mean to stay out…”

“What important business could she possibly have? She doesn’t even work. Besides wandering around with those useless friends, it’s all nonsense.”

Fan Xin felt suffocated. “Mom, what nonsense have I done? I’m an adult—can’t I go shopping or watch a movie? No matter what, I’m still better than someone surnamed Dai, who ignores her own parents and clings to someone else’s, as if you two were the real mother and daughter!”

“Sister…” Dai Yudie said in a sugary tone, “Don’t be angry. I know you’re jealous of how close I am with Auntie, but I never wanted to separate you two. I just want to join your family. Wouldn’t it be nice to have another younger sister who dotes on you?”

Then Fan Xin heard her mother say she planned to take Dai Yudie as a goddaughter, telling Fan Xin to treat her well as her younger sister.

Fan Xin felt like she was choking with anger.

What made it worse was that later, when her brother returned, he acted as if she didn’t exist—running eagerly to Dai Yudie’s side, peeling fruit for her, serving her tea, being ridiculously attentive.

And yet, their parents didn’t notice anything suspicious, simply thinking the two had a “good sibling relationship.”

Fan Xin nearly spat blood.

What kind of siblings act like that? She had never been like this with her brother before!

“Ahhh—!”

They’ve all gone crazy!
