AMRWFA -Chapter 400 You Don’t Know That I Know

Ruan Yaoyao smiled. “No need to thank me. You were called out by us in the first place. And even if you weren’t—if we saw someone faint by the roadside, we couldn’t just ignore it, right?”

More importantly, watching them act in front of her was simply too entertaining. Hahaha…

I didn’t expect myself to be this powerful—actually able to “hard-control” so many people.

Her gaze flickered, and she added silently: 【I wonder if I can invite her to sit nearby so I can finish reading the rest of the details page?】

As soon as that thought fell, Qiao Hong spoke: “Of course I have to thank you. You helping me is kindness, not obligation. How about this—I’ll treat the three of you to a drink? There’s a milk tea shop nearby.”

“Sure.”

…

Ruan Yaoyao beamed. With someone “cooperating,” everything felt so much easier.

Hehe!

See? If you want gossip, gossip appears—and the other party even cooperates with you to “eat the melon.” How satisfying!

The only pity was that others could hear her inner thoughts, but she couldn’t hear theirs. Otherwise, the gossip would be even more exciting.

【Sigh…】

Ruan Yaoyao deliberately let out a sigh, glancing at the two of them from the corner of her eye. In her mind, she said: 【How did she end up running into something so unlucky?】

【Everyone is being “controlled by the plot,” but even when others are controlled, it stays within reasonable limits—they don’t lose their parents because of it. But her? She just becomes an orphan outright.】

【Others can at least have someone cooperate and “act out” scenes with them. But for her, after being controlled, she’s the only one performing a one-woman show.】

【She plays both the good and the bad roles, while Li Xuxian does nothing and still gets the title of “Best Male Lead.” Tsk tsk tsk…】

Thinking of what she had just heard, Qiao Hong’s expression stiffened.

Wasn’t that true? She was the one who brought the umbrella on rainy days, yet it became his credit. She cooked the meals, yet that also became his credit.

Hadn’t she become someone throwing herself at him?

Was she really that cheap?

Qiao Hong burned with resentment.

That damned plot control!

Ruan Yaoyao admired her changing expression with satisfaction and continued in her mind: 【If it at least ended in a happy ending, that’d be one thing—but Qiao Hong was thoroughly used by him.】

【He squeezed her dry, down to the bone.】

【First tricked into marriage, then after marriage she met an unreasonable mother-in-law. If she voiced even a little complaint, Li Xuxian would PUA her, saying how difficult his mother’s life had been.】

【He has it hard—so she doesn’t?】

【Qiao Hong married him, not his mother.】

Qiao Hong: Exactly!

Scumbag!

【If this were the real Qiao Hong, she would’ve exploded long ago.】

【Even after marriage, she could still divorce—but unfortunately, she’s being plot-controlled.】

Qiao Hong: This feels bad…

If she was already being controlled into throwing herself at him, then wasn’t she no better than the mute wife in “The Silent Wife”?

What she didn’t know was that she wasn’t acting out The Silent Wife, but something closer to “The Disappearing Her.”

【So she endured.】

【Whatever Li Xuxian said, she obeyed. She worked herself to the bone to earn money, handed all her earnings to her mother-in-law, served her in-laws tirelessly—yet was still criticized for everything she did.】

【It had only been a few years of marriage, and she was already labeled a hen that couldn’t lay eggs.】

【An average, overconfident man is still an average, overconfident man. Seeing how “obedient” she was, he really started believing he was something special—and treated her worse and worse.】

【He even brought another woman home.】

Qiao Hong was stunned.

What the hell?!

【Of course Qiao Hong was upset when she saw it—she wanted to make a scene.】

Qiao Hong: Yes, make a scene! Divorce him!

【But when she did, Li Xuxian PUA’d her again, saying his cheating was all her fault—she didn’t dress up, looked like a worn-out housewife.】

【She wasn’t gentle, always nagging him and arguing with his parents, making him not want to come home.】

【What he did was just to “punish” her.】

Qiao Hong: “…”

I knew it wouldn’t be that simple. Damn it!

If that’s what he calls “punishment,” why can’t she turn around and “punish” him instead?

【Her mother-in-law also jumped in, saying her son couldn’t be blamed—after all, Qiao Hong couldn’t bear children.】

【Qiao Hong cried her eyes out, completely forgetting that she had just had a medical checkup last year, and actually believed she couldn’t conceive.】

【The power of plot control—terrifying indeed.】

【Even science has to give way before it.】

Qiao Hong: “…”

She might as well just die.

Living through this kind of plot was worse than death.

【So she truly believed she couldn’t conceive, went to get ovulation injections, and prepared for IVF?】

At this point, even Ruan Yaoyao was confused.

Where did the plot even get the conclusion that Qiao Hong couldn’t conceive?

It might not even be her problem—it could be Li Xuxian’s.

But no—the plot insisted it was hers.

The most infuriating part was that she didn’t go to a proper hospital, but to a “small clinic” her mother-in-law found, supposedly to save money.

Ruan Yaoyao: “…”

That certainly saved money.

Saved so much it cost the life of the child in her womb.

【Yes, that’s right.】

【She was pregnant!】

【But because her mother-in-law was unreliable and took her to an unlicensed private clinic to save money, she was given ovulation injections while already pregnant…】

【Seriously, didn’t they do any checks?!】

The outcome didn’t need to be said.

Qiao Hong, who could have had children, lost the baby—and became unable to conceive.

Worse still, her uterus was removed.

Qiao Hong had thought maybe the story would at least become reasonable—perhaps the mother-in-law would regret it, or Li Xuxian would feel guilty.

None of that happened.

Instead, her mother-in-law scolded her for being useless, unable to even keep a child, and urged Li Xuxian to divorce her.

Li Xuxian didn’t agree—not because he cared, but because the house they lived in had been fully paid for by her. If they divorced, he wouldn’t get it.

Only then did the mother-in-law seem to remember that she could earn money—but what use was that if she had no uterus and couldn’t bear children?

For the sake of the Li family bloodline—and her property—the mother-in-law came up with a vicious plan:

Kill her.

Yes.

Just after she left the hospital, still recovering from her miscarriage, she was sent off with a bowl of poisoned chicken soup.

【The most absurd part? The one who wrote a statement defending her killer was her own husband.】

Qiao Hong: “…”

She knew it.

There was no such thing as justice being served.

The one who killed her was her mother-in-law.

The one who forgave the killer was her husband—her mother-in-law’s own son.

What hope was there?

All she could regret was herself—falling for a scumbag without her parents knowing, and dying such a miserable death.

Sigh…

If her parents ever found out, how heartbroken would they be?

【Sigh… If her parents ever found out, how heartbroken would they be?】

【Fortunately, until the moment she died, her parents never knew they had such a daughter. Perhaps that’s some small comfort.】

Qiao Hong: Was that supposed to be ironic?

So the question now was—since she was destined to be “controlled by the plot,” how could she solve it?

When she was conscious, she knew what not to do.

But what about when she was being controlled?

“Maybe in your eyes, Li Xuxian really is a good man, and marrying him would make you happy,” Ruan Yaoyao said seriously as she looked at Qiao Hong. “But he brings you misfortune. If you stay with him, you won’t just lose money—you might even lose your life. Knowing that, would you still choose to be with him?”

Qiao Hong felt that Ruan Yaoyao was being sarcastic. She quickly put on a shocked expression. “He brings me misfortune? That bad?”

Ruan Yaoyao nodded solemnly. “Yes. That bad. So—will you still be with him?”

Qiao Hong shook her head with a bitter smile.

“Brings me misfortune” didn’t even begin to cover it—he was practically out to kill her.

She’d have to be insane to stay with a man like that.

She hurriedly asked, “Then… what should I do? How can I get away from him?”

The key was escape—not whether he brought her misfortune.

Right now she was conscious—but she didn’t know if she would still be clear-headed when facing Li Xuxian again.

That so-called “plot control”… was truly terrifying.

Even now, Qiao Hong couldn’t recall a single memory of her biological parents.
