RMM -Chapter 331 In Life, You’ll Meet a Scumbag or Two

“ViVi, if you even think of doing something reckless, I’ll be the first to stop you! You can’t treat Lu Yue like that!”

He Wen’s voice was urgent—partly because he feared Duan Wei might fall into the trap again and be hurt by that scumbag, and partly because he truly felt wronged for Lu Yue.

Duan Wei chuckled lightly, glanced at Su Ruo and He Wen, and said, “What are you two thinking? Mo Qi and I… that’s long over.”

She then looked down at Zhao Nuanxun, trembling on the floor, her gaze calm. “I’ve already seen clearly—Mo Qi and I never had that kind of fate. Whether she exists or not, Mo Qi would have left me eventually; it was only a matter of time. Her appearance just hastened the process. I used to be too stubborn—once I decided on something, I had to see it through no matter what.”

Su Ruo noticed that Duan Wei seemed a bit absent-minded, her brows lightly furrowed, but she felt a sense of relief.

To say something like that probably meant she had truly let go; those troubling matters were finally history.

“I should even thank her. If she hadn’t snatched Mo Qi away, I might have kept deceiving myself forever. Well… it wasn’t really snatching love; after all, Mo Qi never loved me. I always knew that, so I never blamed Zhao Nuanxun. I know that even if this Zhao Nuanxun didn’t exist, another one would have—Mo Qi could never have been mine.”

Duan Wei spoke calmly, her expression unchanged. Su Ruo smiled in relief. “Yes, in life, we’re bound to encounter a scumbag or two; that’s how we learn and grow. That way, we can cherish the truly good ones, right?”

Su Ruo’s words carried a hint of meaning. Duan Wei understood immediately. In her mind, Lu Yue’s face flashed before her eyes—the man who had been by her side since she could remember, always gentle, unwavering, silently supportive, giving steadily like a flowing stream.

A gentle warmth filled Duan Wei’s eyes. She had been foolish before, but now she clearly knew who the right person was, who truly loved her.

Fortunately, Lu Yue hadn’t given up; otherwise, she shuddered to think what she might have become. From now on, she would never make such a mistake again.

“I understand.”

Duan Wei smiled, fully content. At that moment, Su Ruo finally believed that she had truly walked out of the shadow, and Lu Yue had finally met his childhood sweetheart.

“Ha, how delightful and worth celebrating! Too bad Lu Yue isn’t here; otherwise, he’d be overjoyed.”

He Wen also smiled. His eyes curved into crescents, and his voice was full of joy, which made Feng Weijia’s heart stir. He thought, if only he could drag his wife home right now.

Lu Yue had waited patiently until the clouds cleared and the moon shone; when would his side finally reach that point?

Feng Weijia felt an endless sense of despair. Looking around, no one in this circle had pursued a wife as tirelessly and as long as he had.

“What about that woman? You’re not thinking of letting her go just like that, are you?”

Su Ruo glanced at Zhao Nuanxun on the floor and asked Duan Wei. If they let her off today, it would feel far too unjust; they couldn’t always tolerate her.

Duan Wei’s expression darkened slightly, and she sneered. “There’s no reason to let her stay so arrogant. Before it was because of Mo Qi, but now… that’s no longer the case.”

Hearing Duan Wei’s words, Zhao Nuanxun felt a chill and panicked. “What are you planning to do?”

“What am I planning to do? Heh, just settle the accounts for all these years. You schemed against me so many times—you really thought I was a soft target? I only tolerated it for Mo Qi’s sake. Initially, I thought, it’s all in the past, no need to dwell on it; I wouldn’t fuss over our past entanglements, just let everyone live their own lives. But who knew you would come back, repeatedly provoking me? Perfect. This time, we’ll settle accounts and clear all past grudges.”

Su Ruo had never seen Duan Wei so cold and decisive. Surprised, she secretly cheered in her heart. That’s more like it! Zhao Nuanxun was nothing, not worth Duan Wei bending over backward. This decisive, ruthless action was befitting the dignity of Miss Duan.

At this moment, Zhao Nuanxun realized that Duan Wei’s true status was far beyond what she had seen—her family wasn’t just about a few bucks. If it were just about money, Liu Ge had plenty; he wouldn’t have been frightened and taken away by this sudden man.

Rather than fearing Duan Wei, she feared her friends. Besides the sudden appearance of Feng Weijia, Su Ruo alone was intimidating. Her aura wasn’t something an ordinary person could generate. Moreover, that Manager Yang treated her with utmost respect and seemed quite familiar with Feng Weijia—surely the connections ran deep. If she befriended people like that, how could she fare?

Now, regardless of Duan Wei’s status, her friends alone were enough to make her suffer. How could a woman have friends this formidable?

So all along, she had been pretending, making Zhao Nuanxun think she was merely a superficial rich girl.

“You dare! If you do anything to me, Mo Qi will never forgive you!”

Zhao Nuanxun shouted anxiously. Even now, she couldn’t believe Duan Wei had truly let go of Mo Qi. She had witnessed Duan Wei’s devotion, and such deep feelings couldn’t just be abandoned so quickly. Hence, Mo Qi had once again become her shield.

Duan Wei wouldn’t dare harm her—she would fear Mo Qi’s anger. Her care for Mo Qi was that strong.

Hearing Mo Qi’s name, He Wen couldn’t contain himself. His expression darkened, eyes full of disgust.

Shameless! How dare she even mention that scumbag! ViVi suffered so much because of him; without him, this wouldn’t even be your problem.

He Wen raised his foot and kicked Zhao Nuanxun hard, making her scream and burst into tears.

“Truly ill-mannered! You’re disgusting! What’s Mo Qi to you? If ViVi hadn’t stopped you, would you two lovebirds even have a happy life now?”

He Wen, furious, kicked again, wishing he could break her legs, his fierce demeanor intimidating everyone.

Feng Weijia, however, found He Wen’s fierce expression strangely endearing, thinking, “No wonder he’s Wen Wen—even angry and hitting people, he’s still adorable.”

“Wen Wen, calm down. This kind of person isn’t worth it. If you really can’t let it go, leave it to me. I’ll make sure she’s properly taught a lesson.”

Feng Weijia interjected with a faint smile, glancing at Zhao Nuanxun, giving off an inscrutable, even more alarming air.

“What are you butting in for? ViVi should decide what to do.”

Su Ruo glanced at the overzealous Feng Weijia and reminded him not to take over the matter. This was Duan Wei’s personal business, not his.

Feng Weijia touched his nose, gave a dry laugh, and fell silent. Indeed, this was Duan Wei’s private matter. Intervening in punishing her “former rival” would be overstepping. Besides, Lu Yue still knew nothing; if he found out one day that Feng Weijia had taken matters into his own hands…

“ViVi, I’ve left the arena for you today. Do whatever you want.”

Su Ruo said with authority, thinking that if Duan Wei let Zhao Nuanxun off, she might secretly deal with her herself. Wild dogs, always biting anyone they meet; such people needed a proper lesson.

“No need. This woman has a sharp tongue; I’ll teach her to watch what she says. Right, her heart has issues too—always scheming behind the scenes. Let her experience what real scheming feels like.”

Duan Wei was determined to punish Zhao Nuanxun. Old grudges now combined with new grievances, even her patience had run out.

This was the woman Mo Qi loved—his ideal, deep and inscrutable, always wearing a false exterior. Mo Qi, do you know your beloved wife is already rotting before your eyes?

Duan Wei’s emotions were complex—melancholy, injustice, even a hint of cold laughter. Mo Qi, your unwavering “white lotus” is already decaying.

They say life is unpredictable. No one expected what happened next—a huge turning point.

Before leaving, Duan Wei left Zhao Nuanxun at Mu You; the place was big, so it was convenient enough.

She didn’t plan to tell Lu Yue about the corridor incident—he had already worried enough for her. No need to trouble him with this.

The others understood and didn’t mention it. Su Ruo also informed Yang Yu; after all, it wasn’t a matter to brag about.

After everyone had fun, they prepared to leave—but unexpectedly, they ran into someone downstairs.

Su Ruo’s expression changed repeatedly upon seeing the person lingering at the door, finally turning icy. She felt disgusted inside.

Damn it! What bad luck today, with these scumbags appearing one after another?

The others noticed too, stunned—especially Lu Yue, whose expression darkened completely.

“ViVi?”

Mo Qi hadn’t expected to see Duan Wei here and was surprised. The anger that had been on his face vanished instantly.

Looking at Duan Wei surrounded by everyone under the glittering lights, laughing without restraint, Mo Qi felt utterly captivated, as if a special light shone only on her. Amidst the glowing lamps, his eyes saw only her.

How long had it been since they last met?

Mo Qi stared at Duan Wei, feeling dazed.
