Ruan Tang got what she wanted.
After saying goodbye to Ruan Ming, he immediately planned to go back to his room to make preparations and take his mother and siblings out of the Ruan family and settle them properly before getting married.
Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, I heard a noisy argument.
Because Ruan Ming openly brought his lovers and illegitimate children into his mansion and lived with them together with his wife and children.
Ruan Tang has seen these quarrels similar to those in the house since she was a child and is no longer surprised.
Hearing the noise, he was just about to take a detour to avoid the source of the dispute.
Unexpectedly, the impatient footsteps came directly in the direction where Ruan Tang was...
"Zhou Yao, don't be like this! I think fifth brother would not want to see the current situation..." A familiar voice entered Ruan Tang's ears.
Ruan Tang understood immediately.
Oh, it turns out that this trouble was directed at him.
He immediately raised his eyes and looked towards the source of the sound.
He saw a handsome young Alpha in military uniform coming towards him angrily, and behind him a weak Omega and a Beta were trying to pull him back.
But she was no match for his strength and couldn't hold him back, so she could only follow him and appear in front of Ruan Tang.
Ruan Tang looked at the young Alpha who was in the lead, and a cold sneer immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It was because he was too vicious and repeatedly "framed" Ruan Xi, which Ruan Xi could not bear and divorced her ex-fiancé, Zhou Yao.
As well as his gentle and kind half-brother Ruan Xi, and his former best friend Wen Run.
Seeing these three annoying people, Ruan Tang couldn't help but feel the urge to turn around and leave.
"Ruan Tang! Stop right there!" But before he could leave, Zhou Yao called him fiercely. The look in his eyes when he looked at Ruan Tang was always complicated and mixed with indescribable emotions.
Once upon a time, Ruan Tang thought that this Alpha really liked her——
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a joke in the end.
Ruan Tang stopped walking. Unlike Zhou Yao, who had a turbulent expression in his eyes, he was incredibly calm. "What advice do you have for me, Master Zhou?"
It was as if he and Zhou Yao were strangers who had never met each other before.
"Are you really going to marry that mad dog Austin?" Seeing Ruan Tang's cold attitude, Zhou Yao's anger suddenly burned even more fiercely for some reason. He looked at Ruan Tang viciously, and the blazing flames in his eyes almost burned Ruan Tang to ashes.
Ruan Tang still calmly admitted the fact: "That's right, I didn't expect that Mr. Zhou would hear about it so quickly..."
Zhou Yao seemed to have never thought that he would get a positive answer from Ruan Tang. After hearing Ruan Tang personally tell him the news that she was going to marry Austin, his brain was confused for a moment.
After a brief moment of shock, his face became even gloomier and uglier. He stared at Ruan Tang, almost wanting to eat him alive, and angrily sneered, "Just that mad dog, Auston, who kills people without blinking an eye and has scared countless Omegas to death... For the sake of power and status, you are willing to marry him!"
"In order to climb up, you really do whatever it takes!" He was furious, gritting his teeth and speaking with disdain for Ruan Tang: "I was wrong. I actually thought someone like you would be forced."
It was his fault. He knew what kind of person Ruan Tang was...
But I couldn't control myself from having high expectations of him again and again, and was disappointed again and again!
Ruan Tang looked at him coldly, he was so angry, it seemed like he cared about her very much, but she had betrayed his trust, she found it ridiculous.
Zhou Yao appeared in his life and suddenly pursued him when he was broken off by his first fiancé and was in disgrace.
——Ruan Tang originally thought that it was her luck to meet him. Even if this man was willful and domineering with a bad temper, as long as he truly cared about her, it was not impossible for her to try to manage a marriage with him.
However, after she got engaged to him, Ruan Tang discovered that Zhou Yao was actually an admirer of her half-brother Ruan Xi. He had always been secretly in love with Ruan Xi and approached her because Ruan Xi was in an affair with her ex-fiance Shen Mozhi, so he chose herself as Ruan Xi's substitute as a second choice.
By the way, she got engaged to me in order to remove obstacles for her sweetheart and eliminate the possibility of her getting back together with her ex-fiancé.
Later, when friction arose between him and Ruan Xi, the fiancé stood on the side of Ruan Xi, the white moonlight in his heart, without hesitation, and accused him of being "vicious", causing him to be broken off again and become the target of public criticism.
He threw himself from heaven to hell.
It's ridiculous. In this corrupt world, people like this have the nerve to act so hypocritically in front of me.
"Don't worry about it, Master Zhou. Who I marry is my own choice. It has nothing to do with Master Zhou!" Ruan Tang replied sarcastically, "Besides, I think Duke Austin is pretty good..."
"Even if he is a lunatic, lunatics have their advantages... He doesn't have such a complicated brain that he would do such weird things as selling his body for his lover, getting engaged to his lover's mortal enemy, and then breaking off the engagement, right?" Ruan Tang sneered.
When she was younger, Ruan Tang would never have thought that a madman like Austin would be a good marriage partner, no matter how much benefit he could bring to her.
But at my age now, I’ve experienced too many disgusting things... and seen too many normal Alphas.
Ruan Tang thought that madmen were pretty good.
At least that madman is clear about gratitude and resentment, and is straightforward... He is not like Zhou Yao, who seems to be upright, but actually relies on devious means and scheming against others behind their backs.
"You--" Zhou Yao never thought that Ruan Tang would say that. He immediately looked at Ruan Tang with red eyes and gritted his teeth.
Ruan Tang's name was given by his mother, which means that Ruan Tang's mother hopes that her youngest OMEGA child can grow up to be a sweet and soft OMEGA who is like a star.
But Ruan Tang herself is completely opposite to her name, cold and hard, not only mean but also very annoying.
During the period of their marriage when Ruan Tang had not revealed his vicious true face, although Zhou Yao had never liked Ruan Tang, he sincerely wanted to marry this omega and live a good life with him.
But I don’t want to wait until I get married——
Ruan Tang's true face was exposed because of his plot against Ruan Xi. He was not only vicious but also unrepentant.
Zhou Yao had been waiting for Ruan Tang to feel guilty, wake up, and apologize to Ruan Xi, but he didn't expect Ruan Tang to go down a dark path and the feud between him and Ruan Xi became more and more intense.
The relationship between me and myself could never return to the good times when we were engaged. It was getting worse and worse, and more and more extreme.
They had been hurting each other with the worst words, and Zhou Yao could no longer remember how long it had been since he and Ruan Tang had had a good conversation.
Looking at Ruan Tang like this, Zhou Yao felt very depressed.
But even he himself didn't know what he was thinking about.
Obviously, Ruan Tang, a vicious and calculating OMEGA, was completely opposite to his taste, but Zhou Yao didn't know why he still had high expectations of him...
"Brother Zhou, don't be like this! Since you are worried about Fifth Brother, just talk to him nicely. I believe Fifth Brother must have his own reasons." Seeing them arguing endlessly, Ruan Xi immediately came out, looking like a typical white lotus, weak and kind, as if she wanted to be a peacemaker between the two of them.
The more gentle, kind, innocent and lovely he is, the more unreasonable, paranoid and vicious Ruan Tang seems.
Ruan Tang looked at his innocent behavior and sneered.
Once upon a time, he was deceived by Ruan Xi's weak and harmless appearance and thought that Ruan Xi was really a white lotus... Because of the matter of his mother and siblings, Ruan Tang always hated Ruan Ming, but he never hated Ruan Xi, and even thought that this half-brother was innocent.
I thought he was gentle and kind, and for a time I was very open-hearted and caring towards him.
It was not until later that Ruan Tang suddenly discovered that all of his misfortunes seemed to be inextricably linked to Ruan Xi, and he began to come to his senses.
Because of Ruan Xi, his father, who had been lukewarm towards him, became increasingly indifferent and disgusted with him. Then, Shen Mozhi, the heir of the Shen family, the head of the top ten families, who had inexplicably come to him and make an engagement with him, and the youngest Speaker of the Empire, suddenly discovered that Ruan Xi was his savior when he was a child, and fell madly in love with Ruan Xi.
After a bitter feud with Ruan Tang, he broke off the engagement and started pursuing Ruan Xi.
The engagement was called off anyway. Although Ruan Tang had originally intended to marry Shen Mozhi and had expectations for their future together, he didn't like her. Ruan Tang felt that she didn't need him so she decided to just let it go.
No matter how you look at it in public opinion, you are still a victim.
But unexpectedly, Shen Mozhi not only broke off the engagement, but also spread the word that Ruan Tang had deceived him and that Ruan Tang had ulterior motives. He got engaged to Ruan Tang because he misunderstood that Ruan Tang was Ruan Xi, his savior.
All of a sudden, Ruan Tang became the target of public criticism in the aristocratic circle of the Imperial Star, and was regarded as the representative of black-hearted people who would do anything to curry favor with the rich and powerful.
Ruan Tang had a black question mark face and didn't even know what was going on.
He went to explain to others, but no one believed him. Instead, they were more convinced that he was very skilled and that was how he tricked Shen Mozhi into getting engaged to him...
However, Ruan Xi's reputation in the circle is getting better and better.
It's not just Shen Mozhi, there's also Ruan Tang's second fiancé Zhou Yao... All of Ruan Tang's misfortunes seem to be caused by Ruan Xi.
After losing two fiancés in succession, suddenly, for some reason, it was as if Ruan Xi had some kind of halo around her. Everyone around Ruan Tang seemed to be inspired by her and stood on Ruan Xi's side.
These include Ruan Tang’s friends, suitors, and childhood friends.
And because of the dispute between him and Ruan Xi, they all blamed Ruan Tang: "Ruan Tang, how can you be so vicious? What good does it do you to frame and plot against Ruan Xi again and again? He has forgiven you time and time again, but you bully him and hurt him like this... Aren't you just relying on Xixi's kindness?"
"Do you always think that you are the original wife's son? You are so noble! You think Xixi is the mistress's child? Let me tell you, this is all from the previous generation. Besides, when your mother was conscious, she acquiesced to Marshal Ruan finding lovers outside. He has many lovers and illegitimate children, although only Xixi's mother became his legal wife... But you only target Xixi. It's really disgusting and vicious. I think you do it on purpose. You are just jealous."
Everyone believed that Ruan Tang was vicious and mean to Ruan Xi.
Ruan Tang tried to argue with reason at first, but later found that his struggle and resistance was not only useless, but also made these idiots more convinced that he was the vicious villain targeting Ruan Xi, and they kept "slapping" him in the face with public opinion.
Ruan Tang was too lazy to explain.
To him, this group of people were like maggots in the gutter; disgusting but unable to cause any real harm to him. The more he tried to deal with them, the more excited they became, the higher they jumped, and the more they targeted him.
On the contrary, Ruan Tang let it go and ignored them, and the group of maggots calmed down.
Although Ruan Ming did not like his son, as the patriarch of a noble family and the marshal of the empire, he would never treat his own son harshly.
In particular, this son is the only normal child left by his original wife who had shared his joys and sorrows.
In fact, at the most extreme moment, Ruan Tang did think about leaving, away from the Imperial Star, away from the Ruan family, away from Ruan Xi and the group of idiots around him, but later, looking at his unconscious mother, unconscious brother, and crazy sister...
But Ruan Tang knew that she couldn't leave.
He was the only sane and sober person in their first house. Ruan Ming would not deliberately treat his original wife and his two children, who were once his pride but were now completely ruined, harshly.
But if he leaves...
Now, Mrs. Ruan, Ruan Ming's lovers and children are not easy to deal with. It is possible that his three blood relatives died without knowing how they died.
Moreover, he had a feeling that even if he left, Ruan Xi would not let him go...
He had a vague feeling, although he didn't know what it was or why, but his intuition told him that Ruan Xi, who was already the center of attention and had everything he wanted, wanted to plunder something from him... He would not let him go, but he couldn't kill him either.
Ruan Tang has always had a beast-like intuition.
So, he chose to stay in the wealthy Ruan family and became a parasite who only ate and waited for death.
As for what others think of him, Ruan Tang doesn't care at all because of the loneliness in his childhood that has shaped his cold character.
The clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid.
In his eyes, those who did not believe in him, betrayed him, and chose to stand on Ruan Xi's side had no right to continue standing by his side.
