Chapter 21 - End of the Farce

Wasn’t this the first time they had met? There was no need for Ruan Mu to lie about something like this. Could it be that Yu Yaoyao had seen Ruan Mu before, but Ruan Mu didn’t remember?

This was probably the only way to explain it. After interacting with Ruan Mu, she found that he was full of faults. Perhaps he didn’t remember her.

However, when did Yu Yaoyao meet Ruan Mu? Did something happen in the six years she was gone? She should ask Xie Cheng about it.

“How could I not know? Yu Yaoyao, stop wasting your effort.”

Yu Yaoyao laughed loudly, tears even falling from the corners of her eyes.

“Xie Nian, don’t you know that when you’re lying, your eyes will subconsciously look directly at someone? It seems like after six years, you still haven’t changed at all.

However, I decided that I would bury this matter in the bottom of my heart forever. I wouldn’t let it see the light of day again. I’m going to live well in the future.

I want to see how you end up. This is a thousand times better than the stories in books. Xie Nian, just wait and see. If I don’t have a good life, so will you in the future. ”

Although Xie Nian’s expression didn’t change, her clenched fists betrayed her calm heart. What did Yu Yaoyao know? Could it be that what happened six years ago concerned Ruan Mu too?

The farce regarding the Zhou and Yu families had also come to a conclusion. It was likely going to be another source of laughter that everyone in the upper class of Jiang Capital would talk about in their leisure time.

Although Yu Yaoyao’s words deeply distressed Xie Nian, it didn’t cause much of a stir. Some things should just be let go.

Even if the hustler that year was Ruan Mu, so what? What hers was hers. No one could change the fact that the two babies were hers. Besides, the hustler’s skills were really not that good.

No wonder she felt that Ruan Mu’s countenance was familiar. So that was the reason.

“Xie Nian, were you like this back then too?”

Xie Nian glanced at Ruan Mu, who was following closely behind her. She really shouldn’t have brought him up.

“Back then, I only remember that the hustler wasn’t good at all. With one glance, I could tell that he was just a beginner hustler. He can’t even compete against the others. Tsk, tsk, tsk. No good, no good.”

The woman had a serious expression on her face. Ruan Mu clearly knew that the woman in front of him wasn’t talking about him, but he was still furious. He kept having the urge to find that man and chop him into pieces to extinguish the anger in his heart.

“Is that so?” Although the sky was dark, the dim street lamp shone on Ruan Mu’s face and revealed his flushed face.

Xie Nian burst into laughter. She didn’t expect the famous golden son-in-law to be so pure-hearted. However, it did impress her.

“I wonder who said that you are not allured by any beauties around you. So those were just empty words. This has truly broadened my horizons.”

Xie Zhizhi, who stood not far away, clenched her fists tightly. This Xie Nian was really promiscuous. She was already a loose woman and she was still attracting the opposite sex. She had really underestimated her.

Seeing the two of them chatting happily pricked her deeply. She had declared in front of her father that Ruan Mu liked her. Of course, she had to strategize how to get Ruan Mu, or else when the time comes.

And Ruan Mu still treats her coldly, wouldn’t it be obvious that she had lied back then? Her father would not continue to take her mother and her side. Therefore, Xie Nian, you should disappear forever instead.

Don’t appear in front of them for the rest of your life. This way, it would be better for all of us. Why did you have to come and interfere? You’re just like your shameless mother who seduced other people’s husbands.

Xie Zhizhi thought resentfully. If not for Jiang Wanning, she would have been able to enter the Xie family’s genealogy. She was also her father’s child too.

Xie Nian felt a malicious gaze directed at her and smiled knowingly. It hasn’t even been a while and she couldn’t bear it already. She still wanted to have a good time. She hoped Xie Zhizhi wasn’t that weak.

“Seems like someone’s looking for you. I shan’t disturb you any longer. Goodbye.”

Xie Nian smiled and walked towards Xie Cheng, who had been waiting for her for a long time. Her footsteps were light. If it wasn’t for the fact that the timing was not right, seeing Xie Zhizhi suffer was also another form of enjoyment.

“President Ruan, I’m Xie Zhizhi.”

“Second Ms. Xie, what’s the matter?”

Xie Zhizhi looked at Ruan Mu in surprise. She didn’t expect Ruan Mu to remember who she was.

“Ruan, President Ruan, I didn’t expect you to remember who I am. Then this shirt—”

She extended her arm towards Ruan Mu. There were two suits on it. Those were the two suits that Ruan Mu had thrown away. It had to be said that this can be considered another kind of success for Xie Zhizhi to cling onto Ruan Mu.

At the very least, didn’t Xie Zhizhi already look familiar to Ruan Mu?
