Chapter 39 After the Female Lead’s Rebirth, She Went on a Killing Spree

After Ru Anzhi got into the car, Xu Chengyan introduced him to Yun Jinxian.

At first, Ru Anzhi thought Xu Chengyan had called him up just to introduce his second sister-in-law. But the next second, he heard something utterly absurd.

His first reaction was that Xu Chengyan had lost his mind. But when he saw Xu Chengyan pull Yun Jinxian to testify and even have him call his elder brother Xu Lianghan to confirm, a flicker of doubt stirred in Ru Anzhi’s heart.

He stared at Xu Chengyan for a long time before finally calling Xu Lianghan.

Xu Chengyan rolled his eyes—he knew this kid only trusted his elder brother and would never believe him.

Coincidentally, Xu Lianghan had the same idea: he planned to come early to intercept them. But he arrived a little late and found Xu Chengyan had already stopped them.

So when Ru Anzhi called, he told Xu Lianghan he was already at the door and to wait for him.

Soon, Xu Lianghan got into Xu Chengyan’s car, greeted his sister-in-law Yun Jinxian, and confirmed the situation with Ru Anzhi.

Ru Anzhi’s pupils widened. “Big brother… don’t you think this is a bit too absurd?”

Xu Lianghan sighed helplessly. “I know, but this is something that your elder sister-in-law, your second brother, your second sister-in-law, and I all personally experienced. Plus, your sister-in-law’s family can attest. Are we all hallucinating together?”

Collective hallucination? Ru Anzhi found it unlikely. Apart from the late patriarch’s questionable habits, he respected the rest of the Xu family. They wouldn’t indulge in anything they shouldn’t, so hallucinations caused by drugs seemed impossible.

Before being recognized, he had thoroughly checked every member of the family and, finding no issues, finally acknowledged them as relatives.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have recognized them at all.

If it wasn’t drugs, could it be some kind of high-tech product? As for non-scientific explanations, Ru Anzhi didn’t buy into them.

Seeing the three of them looking serious, he didn’t argue immediately. He decided to enter the house first and get a sense of the situation.

Knowing Ru Anzhi was coming back, Ruan Yaoyao spent an hour or two in silence before starting to go downstairs to make preparations. Especially Ru Anzhi’s room—even though she knew he probably wouldn’t stay there, he was her biological son, so how could she not take it seriously?

What needed to be prepared, had to be prepared.

Since the afternoon, she had been restless. Even her granddaughter, little Lingxuan, couldn’t fully capture her attention.

She noticed that not only had little Lingxuan’s detail page changed, but the detail pages for her eldest son and daughter-in-law had also changed. They would die together a few years later—either in a car accident or by poisoning, happening almost simultaneously.

The perpetrator, however, was not specified.

Ruan Yaoyao began to suspect Cheng Xiangrong might be involved. After all, his prior schemes had failed, causing losses both to the lady and the family, so he would certainly want revenge.

At present, the eldest family only had this one obvious enemy.

Another possibility was “Bing Qingxue”—having failed to steal a husband, love turned into hatred, and she might commit extreme acts.

Yu Xiangqiao said, Mom is right. We need to watch out for these two. I’ll tell my husband later.

“Mom, look who’s here!”

Ruan Yaoyao heard Xu Lianghan’s voice and turned her head. At the door, she saw a figure that seemed familiar yet slightly strange. Her lips curved into a smile as she went to greet him—but then froze, because she saw a familiar tag hovering above Ru Anzhi’s head: 【Villain BOSS?!】

【No… Anzhi is a soldier. How did he become the Villain BOSS?!】

Everyone present turned to look at Ru Anzhi.

Villain BOSS?! Really?! He’s a soldier—could he really commit illegal deeds?!

Ru Anzhi: “……”

Could it be true? Is this really a hallucination?

“You’re back! Haven’t eaten yet, right? Come in and sit, I’ve had the kitchen make lots of delicious dishes…” Ruan Yaoyao snapped out of her thoughts and quickly invited Ru Anzhi in.

As for the other three who came back with Ru Anzhi, she completely ignored that fact.

Right now, she only wanted to know why her perfectly good son had become a Villain BOSS.

Dinner would still take a while, so Ruan Yaoyao brought out fruits and snacks—anything she thought Ru Anzhi might like. She wasn’t worried about leftovers; she could give them to the servants later.

Her only concern was whether there was anything Ru Anzhi actually liked.

Ru Anzhi rarely came, and although she had asked the Ru family about his preferences, he was very undemanding. As long as it was meat, he loved it.

While feeding Ru Anzhi some food, she checked his detail page.

【The poor true young master from ‘The Real and Fake Young Master,’ lost for many years, finally recognized but distant from his original family.】

【Father died early; mother favored the adopted son.】

Ruan Yaoyao froze. 【Have I been biased?】

She thought she hadn’t been, but Ru Anzhi’s detail page contained many details she had never noticed. He liked meat, especially spicy stir-fry, but she hadn’t realized, always focusing on Xu Chengyan, whose stomach was weak and couldn’t handle spice. The household meals were bland, with almost no oily or spicy dishes.

Ru Anzhi: “……”

Did he really think like that?

No, he liked spicy food, but it wasn’t essential. Besides, he didn’t eat much here, so occasional bland meals were fine.

【But… I had the kitchen cook lightly for health reasons!】

【When Anzhi eats here, there are children in the house, so it’s impossible to make many spicy dishes.】

【It’s not spicy, and he seems to eat just fine.】

Because Ru Anzhi ate well, Ruan Yaoyao didn’t think much of it.

As for what came later—although he was recognized, the Xu family fortune wouldn’t fall to Ru Anzhi but to the cunning illegitimate son Xu Lianghan—that had nothing to do with him.

Ruan Yaoyao, Ru Anzhi, Xu Lianghan, Xu Chengyan: 【But he/I am a soldier. If we perform well, we wouldn’t ignore what we like and would return to continue the family business after discharge, right?】

【Also, Ru Anzhi never received any relevant education nor showed such ambitions. If he suddenly returned to inherit the family business, that wouldn’t be inheritance—it would be squandering.】

Xu Lianghan and Xu Chengyan looked at Ru Anzhi, wanting to ask: You want this? If you want…

Ru Anzhi: …No, thanks. I don’t want it!

In short, even after being recognized, this “true young master” Ru Anzhi received nothing besides some dividends, continuing pitifully as a soldier.

Ru Anzhi: “Thanks, I really love this!”

【Because he’s pitiful, he met his destined lover.】

Here’s the key part! Xu Lianghan and Xu Chengyan’s eyes lit up.

Ru Anzhi, not particularly curious, was silent.

【Wait… why does it say ‘them’ here?】

Ruan Yaoyao was puzzled. Other people had only one lover—why did Ru Anzhi have a ‘them’?

【Various types of ‘revenge women,’ some poison girls, some assassins, and some reborn wicked women…】

【After rebirth, they come straight for Ru Anzhi, first seduce him, make him fall in love, then play with his feelings, cruelly take revenge, torment him, and make him suffer all the hardships from his past life…】

【Including his family.】

Could “family” include them? Xu Lianghan, Xu Chengyan, and Yu Xiangqiao shivered.

Yun Jinxian originally thought it didn’t concern her—until she saw her own tragic death, realizing she had died in the identity of someone’s “second sister-in-law,” she froze.

She had agreed to play the girlfriend—could it be that the pretend relationship turned real?

Given her feelings for Xu Chengyan, it was entirely possible.
