Ruan Tang was in a daze for a long time. In fact, he was already surprised by Ruan Xi's ability. Not to mention that the Duke's Mansion was heavily guarded, even the Duke other than Austin might not be able to retrieve the surveillance in the mansion, let alone Ruan Xi who had nothing now.
There were also many times before when Ruan Xi was able to produce many things and evidences that were inconsistent with his status and skills.
All of this made Ruan Tang feel incredible and puzzled.
His intuition told him that there must be something fishy about Ruan Xi, but he couldn't figure it out for the time being.
"What else? Is there anything else he's planning to do? Having caught such a big handle on me, he wouldn't just think of publishing this scandal on the Internet, right?" Ruan Tang came back to his senses a little and sneered.
Based on his understanding of Ruan Xi, he didn't think that Ruan Xi would only start from the Internet after finally getting the chance to punish him.
The subordinate paused for a moment and told the truth: "He has been asking about various important events and gatherings that you and His Excellency the Duke might attend these days, and he has been trying every means to contact the noble ladies who are organizing those events, hoping to obtain the qualification to enter the event venue."
If Ruan Xi hadn't run out of tricks, she certainly wouldn't have taken the online step so quickly to alert the enemy...
"Oh? Then what?" Ruan Tang asked with interest.
The subordinate immediately said, "What else is there to do? Your current status and position in the Imperial Star are there. Those noble ladies are all shrewd people. They know that he is not on good terms with you. Even if he wants to get the qualification to enter the event site, it may be to go against you. In addition, the Duke's previous warning, it is good that he was not kicked out. Why would they care about him?"
This is the benefit of having power in the Emperor Star. If Ruan Tang had nothing and Ruan Xi wanted to provoke him, even if people knew about it in advance, no one from the idle nobles who loved to eat melons would tell him. They would just happily watch the show while eating melon seeds.
especially. The so-called handle that Ruan Xi caught on him might be related to his "cheating", and that group of people would be even more excited about it, waiting happily to see how unlucky Ruan Tang would be.
But now, Ruan Tang is not only Austin's most beloved wife, but also the head of the Ruan family.
Everything was different for the beloved younger brother of Lieutenant General Ruan Yang, the most promising man in the empire.
Ruan Xi wanted to harm him and make his private scandals public. Not only would no one help Ruan Xi but would wait to watch the show, but everyone was afraid of getting into trouble and being implicated in this matter, so they would help Ruan Tang suppress the matter and prevent these private affairs from being exposed to the public so that they could curry favor with Ruan Tang.
"They are indeed all smart people. Compared with them, Ruan Xi is really not good enough." Ruan Tang's eyes curved and his tone was cold, but he had to admit it.
It was only after he gained power that he realized that with enough power and status in the Imperial Star one could indeed call a horse a zebra.
Just like him, when he had nothing in the past, even though he did nothing wrong, he was despised by everyone, condemned by everyone, and his reputation was ruined. But now that he is powerful, even if he really "cheated", there are people who will help him suppress the matter, not expose it to others, and protect his reputation.
The subordinate asked worriedly: "Chairman, what should we do next..."
Although the matter can be suppressed, it is still necessary to exchange some resources with other forces and pay a certain price in order to conceal it from the Duke.
Seeing Ruan Tang taking his time, he was almost getting angry.
I really have to admire Ruan Tang for being able to remain calm and composed even at this time.
You know, her husband is not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by anyone, but the famous madman Duke Bluebeard of the Imperial Star.
Even if Austin couldn't do anything to Ruan Tang given his current status, it would be a scandal if it got out of hand.
"...We will do nothing next." Ruan Tang remained as calm as ever.
The subordinate immediately looked at him in surprise: "Do nothing?"
I almost thought I was hallucinating.
"That's right, we should do nothing. Not only that, no matter what Ruan Xi wants to do, we should not stop him, but help him accomplish it." Ruan Tang slightly curled her lips, but laughed out loud: "I want to see how much trouble he can cause on the Imperial Star because of this matter."
He was just worrying about how to put pressure on Austin and break the window paper, but he didn't expect Ruan Xi to send him a pillow because she was sleepy, which was a timely relief for him.
Since he was eager to assist him, why should he stop him?
Austin has kept his vest for so long, it's time to take it off.
"...Yes, Chairman." Although the subordinates did not understand Ruan Tang's purpose, they still responded loyally and followed Ruan Tang's instructions to carry out the order.
…
Ruan Xi was so angry that she couldn't post her videos online and even her account was abnormal and she couldn't log in. She was shaking and smashing the keyboard.
Unexpectedly, at this moment he received a call from the hostess of the banquet, who said that Ruan Tang and Austin would attend the banquet. The other party agreed to give Ruan Xi the qualification to attend the banquet, and decided to join forces with Ruan Xi to deal with Ruan Tang, making Ruan Tang look bad at the banquet and exposing his true face in front of everyone.
Ruan Xi was immediately overjoyed when she heard this. She threw her laptop aside and started chatting with the other party: "Really? That's great. Thank you so much, ma'am."
He knew that there would be no one who didn't hate Ruan Tang and no one who didn't want to deal with him.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. There is always a way out. Hasn't he found a friend now?
But Ruan Xi didn't know that at the same time he hung up the phone, Ruan Tang received a message from his friend and tried his best to persuade Austin, who had no intention of attending the party, to attend the party.
"Sir, I don't know what you think. You haven't replied to me for so many days, but we are still a couple on the surface, aren't we? We haven't attended public events together in the Imperial Star for a long time. Many people around us have speculated about our marriage. There is a banquet tomorrow that is very important to my work as the chairman of the OMEGA Protection Association. No matter what, even if I beg you, I really hope you can attend this banquet with me..."
Ruan Tang typed a long paragraph to Auston, who had not been seen for several days.
Austin was in a state of confusion. He had no idea how to deal with his current relationship with Ruan Tang, and he didn't dare to see Ruan Tang. But after seeing that Ruan Tang used the word "ask" in her message, he thought for a long time, took a deep breath, and replied: "Okay."
He hadn't seen Ruan Tang for several days, whether he was in the identity of Set or the identity of the Duke...
He couldn't hide from Ruan Tang forever.
…
The banquet was held at a famous star-rated hotel in Dixing and was scheduled to start around seven in the evening.
Austin and Ruan Tang, who had not seen each other for a long time, gathered at home at around 6:30 and took the hovercraft to the scene on time.
"...Sir, long time no see." Because Ruan Tang had just mentioned divorce, she was no longer as warm to Austin as before and just said hello coldly.
Austin felt uncomfortable seeing his cold and distant appearance, and felt indescribable pain and bitterness. But he hid all his emotions under the mask, and just replied to Ruan Tang, which was even colder than his: "Yeah."
He really didn't know what this OMEGA was thinking. She was clearly pestering him a while ago, being extremely clingy and saying she loved him all the time. But now that the divorce agreement has been signed, she has started to ignore him and pretend not to know him. She changes her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book!
You know, he hasn't signed the divorce agreement yet?
Legally speaking, this OMEGA still belongs to him. Can't he have a little more self-awareness? Any professional ethics?
Austin felt extremely aggrieved, but he remained expressionless.
The two of them were speechless and arrived at the banquet in silence.
The banquet hall was filled with splendid flowers and everyone who came was a well-known figure in the entire imperial star, either rich or noble.
Ordinary people couldn’t even get an invitation.
At the same time, Ruan Xi, who had mixed into the crowd, was ready. She turned on her body camera and decided to give Ruan Tang a fatal blow at the banquet.
After reaching a cooperation with Lady Margaret, he immediately changed his plan and stopped posting Ruan Tang's cheating video on the Internet.
Instead, it became a hot search again today and started broadcasting Ruan Tang's ugly behavior live to the people of the entire empire.
Thinking of Ruan Tang's ugly appearance later, Ruan Xi curled the corner of her mouth sarcastically and started filming the banquet scene.
Ruan Tang and Austin tried hard to play the roles of a duke and wife who seemed to be in harmony but were actually distant from each other, just waiting for Ruan Xi to make her move.
Looking at Ruan Tang's lukewarm attitude and cold face, Austin immediately put on a face even colder than Ruan Tang's, which was simply a no-entry-allowed attitude.
At this moment, the number one hot search on Star Network suddenly landed on the banquet scene live streamed by Ruan Xi——
Netizens all over the interstellar Internet were confused when they saw the live broadcast room that suddenly became a hot search, and they didn't understand what was going on. But after clicking into the live broadcast, they saw many celebrities and politicians at the banquet, and thought it was some kind of alternative propaganda live broadcast by the government, so they clicked in to watch it.
"Ahhh! Is that Regal? He's so handsome in person."
“That’s Mrs. Scindia, my idol!”
"I don't know what the theme of this promotional live broadcast that suddenly became a hot search is, but I have never seen a banquet like this. Is this what a noble banquet looks like? It feels so formal and luxurious, just like what I see in TV dramas. No, no, it's even more luxurious..."
"I've never seen a banquet like this. I came here to learn something new. My poverty has limited my imagination."
"Eh? Is that Ruan Tang? I like him. After he became the chairman of the OMEGA Protection Association, he proposed many policies, fought for a lot of benefits for us OMEGAs, and did a lot of practical things to make the Empire's OMEGA protection laws more perfect."
"Oh my god, Ruan Tang is so handsome, so handsome. I am licking his gorgeous face like crazy. He is worthy of being the most beautiful woman in the Imperial Star... The shots captured by the live broadcast are so beautiful."
…
The banquet was attended by numerous celebrities, and I don't know how many people watched it.
Ruan Tang was completely unaware of this. Although he and Austin had never separated at the banquet, he, who was in the preparation stage for divorce, had not spoken a few words to each other.
Ruan Xi watched the number of people in her live broadcast room continue to soar, and saw that the number was almost enough.
He immediately rushed to Austin and Ruan Tang without caring about his own safety and blocked their way: "Duke Austin, please stay, I have something to say to you!"
He had to let this arrogant lunatic know that he had been cheated on a long time ago.
Auston was already worried about Ruan Tang's cold attitude, and he didn't expect to meet such an annoying thing at this banquet. He felt extremely disappointed. His face sank, and he said grimly: "What's going on? Who let this thing in? Didn't I say that he is not allowed to be seen in any place where I appear in the Emperor Star in the future?"
His sudden anger startled everyone present, but no one dared to respond.
"Why don't you send someone to throw him out?" Austin said in a cold tone.
The security guard at the banquet immediately stepped forward.
"Duke Austin!" Ruan Xi said righteously before they even got close to her, "You can't throw me out."
He raised his voice and shouted at Auston and everyone else: "I came here today to save you and stop you from being deceived! Do you know what your OMEGA is? Do you know what he did behind your back? Do you know that he betrayed you and cheated on you a long time ago?"
