Chapter 53 A Mother Once Again Wants to Cut Ties with Her Son

Xu Lianghan, Xu Chengyan, and Wei Kaihao, who were standing nearby, also heard Ruan Yaoyao’s inner thoughts and screamed inwardly: This is bad! Very bad!

Earlier, they had even joked that Ru Anzhi’s romantic luck had arrived. Now, they didn’t even dare feel a hint of envy.

Wuwu…

A Gu-witch girl—such a terrifying real-life version—who would want that?

Ru Anzhi stiffened all over. “Sorry, I don’t make friends with minors!”

Yes, that’s right.

Even if you beat him to death, he would never have anything to do with a minor.

【She’s already an adult!】

Sure enough, in the next second, Bai Ling blinked her eyes and said innocently, “But I’m already an adult~ If I weren’t, they wouldn’t have let me in. Want me to show you my ID?”

Who knew if she carried it with her or what, but Bai Ling casually pulled out her ID card and showed it to Ru Anzhi to prove her age.

【See? I told you, she’s already an adult!】

“Sorry, I like mature women,” Ru Anzhi immediately came up with another excuse.

Bai Ling instantly looked disappointed. Her pitiful little face was full of dejection, like a child whose candy had been snatched away, making people unable to resist softening their hearts.

Ruan Yaoyao’s heart melted into a puddle. If not for the four glaring golden words above Bai Ling’s head—“Loli Gu Witch”—she might have gone over and placed her son’s hand into the girl’s.

【Sigh… cute as she is, she’s only to be admired from afar, not approached.】

【Gu witches are still terrifying!】

Ruan Yaoyao flipped through Bai Ling’s “profile” in her mind to cleanse her thoughts—but after doing so, she fell silent.

【Sure enough, you can’t judge a person by appearance. Good thing I didn’t act impulsively, or I’d be doomed.】

【This girl can plant Gu on people without them even noticing. The number of victims she’s already targeted…】

【Wait—she even takes jobs?!】

【We just got rid of one Song Na, and now here comes Bai Ling… Third Son’s fate…】

Ruan Yaoyao glanced again at the label above Ru Anzhi’s head and thought it lived up to his title as a “scorpion detector.” It was as if one venomous beauty after another was lining up to be “identified” by him.

【In his previous life, he chased while she fled—from the spring of the south to the snow-covered north. She asked him: What will it take for you to let me go?】

【He said: Not in this life, nor the next, nor the one after that.】

【Oh, you think this is a romance story?】

【It’s not. It’s because she killed someone.】

【Walk too often by the river, and you’ll eventually get your shoes wet. Bai Ling, who had always succeeded, reached her hand into the authorities’ domain and touched someone she shouldn’t have, immediately raising alarm.】

【Everyone sent to deal with her was eliminated by Bai Ling—until Third Son…】

In short, in his previous life, Ru Anzhi captured Bai Ling during a mission. After being reborn, instead of rushing back to her work, she first wanted to eliminate Ru Anzhi, the thorn in her side.

Her line of thinking was the same as the previous one—make Ru Anzhi taste the bitterness of love.

Ruan Yaoyao: “…”

The Xu family and Wei Kaihao: “…”

Since when did these femme-fatales all become so brainless?

Or was it that they were perfectly rational with others, but lost all sense when it came to Ru Anzhi?

【Possible. After all, there was Li Tingting before—what’s a few more for Third Son?】

【It’s just that unlike Li Tingting’s ‘female lead’ route, Third Son walks the ‘villain boss’ route.】

【Though he’s a soldier, to these ‘female leads’ he personally captured, he’s the villainous final boss who tormented them and wiped out their entire families.】

【Take Song Na as an example—he really did wipe out the entire 3X organization.】

【Even if Song Na hated the organization, she had to admit it raised her. She could destroy it herself, but she couldn’t watch someone else do it.】

…

Ru Anzhi: You broke the law! You caused such a huge impact, even threatening national stability—if I don’t arrest you, who will?

A righteous hero turning into a boss in someone else’s story, constantly getting “farmed”—Xu Lianghan, Xu Chengyan, and Wei Kaihao felt that Ruan Yaoyao’s description was surprisingly accurate.

Wasn’t it true? One Song Na had just left, and now Bai Ling had arrived. If more came later…

They suddenly felt like keeping some distance from Ru Anzhi.

Beautiful assassins wrapped in the guise of love—each more vicious than the last. It was terrifying!

【Destroying entire families at the drop of a hat—it’s no wonder that after being reborn, the first thing they do is come back to settle scores with him!】

【He’s fine—he’s the villain boss, after all. Even if he dies, he’ll die last. But poor side characters like us are destined to be cannon fodder!】

Ruan Yaoyao withdrew the step she had taken forward. Suddenly, she didn’t feel like going to “pick up” her son anymore.

What a joke!

She was cannon fodder—an “evil mother-in-law” with her eldest son, an “evil stepmother” with her second, and with her third…

【My life isn’t that tough. I’d better forget it!】

Ru Anzhi immediately sensed trouble when he heard this—his mother was about to run away again. He quickly pretended to have just noticed her and called out, “Mom, what are you doing here?”

Following his gaze, Bai Ling spotted Ruan Yaoyao standing under the lights—half in shadow, half illuminated. Though her features weren’t entirely clear, she could tell she was a refined, elegant woman who paid great attention to her lifestyle.

“Auntie…”

Bai Ling instantly shifted her target. She rushed over, grabbed Ruan Yaoyao’s arm, and said sweetly, “Hello, Auntie! I’m Bai Ling—your future daughter-in-law~”

Bai Ling carried a fragrant scent. Even in a club where perfume was common, her fragrance stood out—distinct and unforgettable.

【Ah, could this be the ‘lure fragrance’ she extracts from insects?!】

Ruan Yaoyao recalled seeing something about “extraction” and “perfume” earlier.

Her heart skipped a beat. Not only did humans find it pleasant—so did insects.

Anyone carrying that scent could become a target for insect attacks at any moment. Bai Ling used this method to create alibis, guiding insects to strike.

【Ahhh—help!】

【I’m going to get bitten by bugs!】

She hurriedly shook off Bai Ling’s arm and ran far away. Her terrified expression made it seem as if she had encountered a ferocious beast rather than a soft, fragrant girl.

Bai Ling was startled. Her eyes reddened as she said pitifully, “Auntie, don’t you like me?”

【Nonsense! You’re a Gu witch—your whole body is full of bugs. Who knows when you’ll plant something in me?!】

Though she ranted inwardly, Ruan Yaoyao didn’t dare offend her too much outwardly. “No, it’s not that I dislike you. I just don’t like being close to people. Also, my relationship with my third son isn’t as good as you think. Yes, I’m very biased. I only like my second son, who grew up by my side. The third was lost when he was young, so we don’t have much of a bond. Because of this, he even fell out with me. He…”

【Cut ties!】

【We must cut ties!】

Ruan Yaoyao’s inner resolve was as firm as a sworn oath.

But before she could finish, Ru Anzhi covered her mouth and forcibly shut her up. “Don’t listen to my mom—she’s just upset that my brothers and I came out drinking. Actually, our relationship is very good.”

He even emphasized, “Those two aren’t even biological—I’m the only real son!”

Ruan Yaoyao’s eyes widened in fury.

【You damned brat! Ahhh… are you trying to get me killed?!】

【I should never have given birth to you—better a char siu bun than you!】
