RMM -Chapter 247 Who Can’t Act?

Su Ruo stayed in her room for a long while, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. A blaze burned in her chest, crackling and popping relentlessly.

No, this was beyond endurance. If she couldn’t call the two “main characters,” then at the very least she had to find someone to vent her fury to—otherwise she’d be angry enough to explode.

“Hello, He Wen.”

Su Ruo’s furious tone startled He Wen, who immediately thought something serious had happened. “What’s wrong with you? You sound really upset.”

Su Ruo practically ground her teeth as she spoke. “Let me tell you something bizarre—I’ve discovered a fox spirit. Right here, right beside me.”

Hearing the vicious edge in Su Ruo’s voice, He Wen shivered involuntarily. She had never seen Su Ruo display such intense anger before.

“A fox spirit? What are you talking about?” He Wen was momentarily dumbfounded. This fox-spirit thing Su Ruo suddenly mentioned—she couldn’t match it to anyone.

“Isn’t it some thing? No sense of limits at all—bah!” Su Ruo flared up again, snapping angrily.

“No, what are you even saying? Explain it clearly—what fox spirit?”

He Wen still didn’t understand. “Fox spirit” was usually just an insult—why was Ruoruo suddenly talking about this? Around her were all proper ladies and gentle young women; where would a fox spirit come from?

“Trying to seduce my man, plotting to destroy a military marriage—if that’s not a fox spirit, then what is it? Guanyin Bodhisattva?” Su Ruo snapped irritably. If she said it was a fox spirit, then it was a fox spirit—what was there not to understand?

“Cough—cough—” He Wen choked on her own saliva, turning bright red as she struggled to catch her breath.

My god—was this Mars colliding with Earth or what? Someone actually dared to seduce Commander Xi? Was she asking for death?

Someone dared to steal Ruoruo’s man?!

After the shock came fury. Damn it—what shameless fox spirit was this? Who gave her the guts to even think such thoughts?

“Who is it? Who’s the fox spirit? Tell me her name—I’ll go fight her right now. No, I’ll cripple her!”

He Wen slammed her palm onto the table with a loud bang, cursing without caring about the pain in her hand.

“Zhou Yunzhen!”

“Huh?” He Wen didn’t react again. “Why are you bringing up that woman? I’m asking for the fox spirit’s name!”

“Are you freaking deaf? I said Zhou Yunzhen! The fox spirit is Zhou Yunzhen—that woman!”

Su Ruo roared, but after shouting, she immediately widened her eyes and clamped her mouth shut, hurriedly glancing toward the door. Seeing it was closed, she finally let out a breath of relief. The room was well soundproofed—no one outside would hear. If her mother-in-law or the others overheard, that would be disastrous.

She didn’t want to drag her family into this messy business.

Still not satisfied, she lowered her voice and shouted again, “Zhou Yunzhen! Zhou Yunzhen wants to steal my man—do you get it now?!”

On the other end of the phone, He Wen was completely stunned, frozen for a long moment, feeling as though thunder was crashing around her, nearly striking her dumb.

That fake, hypocritical Zhou Yunzhen was actually harboring ill intentions—setting her sights on Commander Xi? This was outrageous!

“Is that woman crazy? Out of her mind? No way. Give me her contact info—I need to go give her a serious warning. I’ll beat her senseless. Does she think the whole world belongs to her, that she can set her sights on anyone she wants?”

He Wen was boiling with righteous indignation. Truly—when the forest is big, all kinds of birds appear. She’d thought something was off about that woman from the start. Turns out she was eyeing Commander Xi.

“What are you looking for? I, the rightful wife, haven’t even said anything yet—why are you getting so worked up? Calm down!”

“Calm down? Is this something you can stay calm about? Calm my ass! Hurry up and give me that fox spirit’s phone number. I’m telling you, she’s trying to take your man—you better not go soft on her. What kind of trash is she, morally bankrupt and utterly shameless! If you still dare to cling to that so-called ‘small favor’ she once did for you, then you really deserve it, understand?”

He Wen sounded even more agitated than Su Ruo, clearly furious beyond measure. What kind of world was this—why were there so many blind fox spirits? One after another, all setting their sights on her best friends.

Not long ago, Duan Wei had been hurt so badly by that vile fox Zhao Nuanxun. That matter had barely passed, and now another fox spirit showed up to snatch Commander Xi. Were all the homewreckers in the world gathering around them or what?

He Wen was genuinely worried that Su Ruo would still take Zhou Yunzhen’s so-called “kindness” into account. Ever since Su Ruo lost her memory, He Wen hadn’t seen her lose her temper once—always smiling, as if she’d even lost her temper along with her memories. But the old Su Ruo—maybe not ruthless, but she would never let anyone bully her. Once truly angry, none of them were more cold-blooded than she was, her underhanded methods effortless. Otherwise, how could Mu You have risen so quickly back then?

But the current Su Ruo… yes, being gentle and kind was a good thing—approachable, considerate—but she couldn’t just be nice to everyone.

He Wen knew Su Ruo had always remembered Zhou Yunzhen’s “favor” and treated her well. But now wasn’t the time to repay kindness, right? Someone had already bullied her right to her doorstep—she had to fight back.

She’d long felt that Zhou Yunzhen wasn’t simple. Always acting innocent and harmless—clearly someone deeply scheming. And now that she’d set her sights on Commander Xi, wouldn’t she use every trick in the book?

If it were the old Su Ruo, she’d have crushed her the moment she started stirring, never letting her jump around so recklessly. But the current Su Ruo…

No. If Ruoruo dared to show mercy again, she’d go find Duan Wei and make sure this woman got a proper lesson.

“Who said I was going to be soft-hearted? Am I really going to spare someone this ungrateful? How do you talk like that? If I could swallow this anger, would I still be human?”

Su Ruo shot back without a second thought. What a joke—who could endure this? I don’t care if you helped me before; you didn’t save the world. Why should I watch helplessly while you seduce my man?

Was it because she’d been too gentle lately that everyone thought Su Ruo was an easy target? Was this never going to end—one after another lining up to bully and scheme against her? Damn it, this was truly beyond tolerance.

“Oh my dear sister, you’ve finally woken up! You’re right—absolutely can’t be soft-hearted. Otherwise that woman will think we’re easy to bully. Damn it, let’s go wipe her out today!”

Su Ruo’s face darkened instantly. She rubbed her forehead. “Do you think you’re a bandit or a thug? ‘Wipe her out’? How? Kill her to silence her? Or snap tendons and break bones? That’s illegal—you’d go to prison, understand? I’m a military wife—how could I follow you in doing such nonsense? Use your brain, okay?”

“Even if we don’t break the law, we still have to make her suffer—make sure she never dares to think about Commander Xi again.”

He Wen was still fuming, her fair face flushed, flames seemingly burning in her bright eyes.

“Hmph. You can’t rush with women like this. We need to take it slow. Using brute force is inferior to using our brains—make the lesson unforgettable.”

Su Ruo’s pretty face was cold, her gaze deep and unreadable. The earlier fury was gone, replaced by an indifferent, icy calm. Compared to this cold composure, her earlier righteous anger had actually seemed more human—at least it hadn’t inspired such unease.

After all, isn’t what you can’t see through the most frightening?

He Wen couldn’t see Su Ruo’s expression—only heard the chill in her voice. She didn’t think too deeply and instead grew excited. “Using our brains? That’s good. Among all of us, no one’s more meticulous or formidable than you when it comes to schemes. Slowly wearing her down—that’s way more satisfying than knocking her into the mud all at once. Like ancient punishments—lingchi is far more effective than a quick beheading. A morally bankrupt woman like her doesn’t deserve an easy end, or she’ll just come back again.”

Su Ruo curled her lips into a smile—but there was no warmth in it, only cold detachment. Still, she joked lightly, “I never realized—our Miss He is actually this ruthless.”

He Wen snorted. “If others are unjust, don’t blame me for being ruthless. There are so many men in the world, yet they insist on provoking the ones they shouldn’t. Isn’t that forcing people to be cruel? I might endure one, but another one comes along? I’ll kill them all!”

Su Ruo couldn’t help bursting into laughter, laughing so hard she bent over. This sudden, absurd turn made He Wen’s face darken—she was talking about something serious! What was so funny? Could Su Ruo have been overstimulated by Zhou Yunzhen?

“Hey—can you be serious? What are you laughing at? Is it really that funny?”

Taking a deep breath and restraining her laughter, Su Ruo said, “Listening to you, it feels like you’re acting in a TV drama—such a full-on mob boss vibe. Hahaha…”

“…Su Ruo, shut up!” He Wen finally snapped. This was such a serious issue—how could she be so unserious? Laughing and laughing—what was there to laugh about? If she kept laughing, her man really would be stolen. When that happened, she’d see whether He Wen would kill that woman or not.

Su Ruo didn’t dare laugh anymore after being yelled at, desperately suppressing it. If she laughed again, she couldn’t guarantee He Wen wouldn’t storm straight over to Zhengjia Courtyard.

“Hah… okay, no more laughing. Although Zhou Yunzhen is unforgivable, we really can’t kill her. Not only would it be illegal, we can’t dirty our own hands. Hmph—who can’t act? From today on, I’m going to direct a spectacularly melodramatic show. He Wen, you’d better keep your eyes wide open and watch how I beat the fox spirit senseless.”

A cold light flickered in Su Ruo’s eyes. Zhou Yunzhen—don’t you like acting? Then I’ll play along and see whose acting skills are better.
