Chapter 143 You used to be my ex, now I'm your mom
Evening, Beijing, Xigong Banquet Hall.
The lights were bright, and the pavilion by the water was filled with wine cups.
The engagement banquet for the Yan and Lin families was a grand affair, with all the political and business elites in Beijing in attendance.
Su Ruan did not ride in the same car as Yan Tingnan.
He went ahead to take charge, while she deliberately arrived late.
Su Ruan, dressed in a light blue haute couture gown, walked into the venue alone.
The skirt is tightly fitted and adorned with tiny starlight, flowing down to the ankles, making the wearer appear as if embracing the moon's radiance as they walk.
Her long hair was loosely tied up, with a crescent-shaped hairpin made of ice-blue diamonds inserted diagonally at her temple, shining brightly.
Su Ruan calmly swept her gaze across the room and gracefully took the champagne from the waiter's tray.
Just as he took a sip, a figure suddenly blocked his way.
Yan Yunye.
His eyes were bloodshot, his suit was slightly wrinkled, and his breath reeked of alcohol.
He exuded a violent aura that was on the verge of spiraling out of control.
"Soft."
His voice was terribly hoarse.
"You've finally arrived."
Su Ruan frowned slightly and took half a step back.
"Get out of the way."
"Let's talk."
He suddenly grabbed her wrist with terrifying force.
"Just five minutes."
"Let go."
Su Ruan's voice turned cold as she tried to shake him off.
Yan Yunye seemed not to hear her, his eyes filled with obsessive rage, and he dragged her away from the main hall, striding quickly into the depths of the corridor.
"Yan Yunye! What's wrong with you?!"
Su Ruan stumbled in her high heels, her wrist aching from his grip.
Knowing she couldn't fight it off, she quickly reached for her phone with her other hand and pressed speed dial.
The moment the call connected, she raised her voice and struggled to rebuke him.
"Yan Yunye, let go of me! What are you doing in my V08 lounge?"
He shoved her into the lounge and slammed the door shut behind him.
Click, the lock engages.
Who was that man last night?
"Tell me, which wild man is worthy of your calling him that?"
Yan Yunye loosened his tie, trapping her between the door and himself.
My chest heaved violently, and the smell of alcohol mixed with despair hit me.
"Speak!"
He growled, his eyes bloodshot.
Su Ruan leaned against the door, but her face showed no sign of panic.
"What does this have to do with you?"
"They're related!"
He suddenly leaned down, bracing himself on his hands beside her, his breath hot and disordered.
"Six years... Su Ruan, I've been with you for six years!"
"I didn't even lay a finger on you! What right does he have?!"
"Why did he cut in halfway? Who does he think he is?"
His eyes churned with pain and resentment, along with a hint of manic obsession.
He seemed to have been completely driven mad by that word "husband," his reason shattered.
Su Ruan glanced up at him.
"Yan Yunye, what else can you do besides go crazy?"
"I know more than him!"
Yan Yunye growled and slammed his fist into the door panel next to her ear, his eyes bloodshot and terrifying.
"Ruanruan, I fucking regret it, I was wrong!"
"I saw you with someone else...here..."
He suddenly grabbed her hand and pressed it against his chest.
"It hurts so much, I feel like I'm going to explode!"
Su Ruan watched him break down quietly, her heart unmoved.
"so what?"
She asked, her voice flat.
Yan Yunye seemed to be stung by those three words, staggered a step, and then suddenly pressed closer.
"So look at me! Look at me!"
His voice suddenly went hoarse, tinged with sobs.
"You like wild things? I can be wild too!"
"I can give you everything he can. I know more than he does. Will you choose me?"
He ripped open his tie with his fingers and then tried to unbuckle his belt, his movements frantic and desperate.
He leaned down to forcefully kiss her, his breath hot and chaotic.
Su Ruan turned her head away.
The disgust in his eyes was clear and distinct.
Just as his lips were about to press down, she raised her hand and deftly slid it down.
I pressed down on his trouser zipper and, with a swift motion, neatly zipped it back up for him.
His movements were calm and fluid.
Yan Yunye froze abruptly.
Su Ruan raised her eyes, her gaze fixed straight into his bloodshot eyes.
"Yan Yunye, listen carefully."
She spoke, her voice cold and clear, each word striking him so hard it made his soul tremble.
"You used to be my ex, now I'm your mom."
She leaned closer, her red lips parted slightly, and uttered words that pierced the heart.
Keep morality and etiquette in mind, and don't be foolish when it comes to ethical issues.
"Want to commit incest? Ask your dad first if he agrees."
Yan Yunye's pupils suddenly contracted, as if he hadn't understood, or as if he had been struck hard by these words.
The blood rushed to the top of my head, then instantly receded completely.
mom?
What mother?
Where did this mother come from?
"What...what did you say?"
He unconsciously loosened his grip on her wrist a little, his face blank with confusion and shock.
"Literal meaning."
"I just got my marriage certificate today."
Su Ruan shook her left hand.
The diamond ring on his ring finger shone so brightly it hurt Yan Yunye's eyes.
"Now, according to the rules, you should call me stepmother."
"..."
Yan Yunye seemed unable to understand human speech, staring intently at the ring.
"Can't understand?"
Su Ruan tilted her head slightly, her eyes devoid of any warmth.
"What I mean is, the person I let you eavesdrop on last night, and the one I'm getting married to today, is your father, Yan Tingnan."
"According to seniority, you should call me Mom."
"Did you understand? My dear son."
She paused, her tone both dismissive and cruel.
"Of course, you don't have to call me that."
"But I need to rest my mind."
He looked at her, his eyes first blank, then absurd.
Blood rushes back, and eardrums buzz.
"impossible……"
He suddenly gripped her wrist tightly.
"You're lying to me! Today is my dad's engagement party with Lin Yiyao!"
Su Ruan winced in pain and frowned, but then chuckled.
"Engagement banquet?"
Her gaze swept over his frenzied face as if she were watching an absurd drama.
"Who told you that they were the main characters tonight?"
"Otherwise what?!"
He growled, his eyes bloodshot.
"The invitations are printed very clearly! It's a marriage alliance between Yan and Lin!"
Does it matter what's printed on the invitation?
Su Ruan abruptly pulled her hand back, revealing a red mark around her wrist.
She rubbed her wrist, her eyes as cold as ice.
"It will be whatever your dad wants it to be."
"He wanted it to be a call-off party, not an engagement party."
"Yan Yunye, I told you long ago, but you didn't take it seriously."
"Do you remember that night on the rooftop of Nebula? I hinted at it so obviously."
"And that time in the elevator, you stared at the marks on my neck and asked who left them."
“I already said, he’s your father, but you just think I’m insulting you.”
“You made such a big fuss last night, I said I’d rather be your mother.”
“Every word is the truth.”
"See, I've told you the truth so many times, but you never believe me even once."
"Who do you think has the ability to drive you to this point and leave you with no way to investigate?"
Yan Yunye's face was ashen, like a dead man's, his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word.
The overwhelming sense of absurdity and the devastating blow left him instantly exhausted.
Father... Yan Tingnan...
That night in Nebula...
The red mark on the side of her neck in the elevator...
My husband's sobbing last night...
All the details he had deliberately ignored were now surging up wildly, piecing together a bloody truth.
It turns out they weren't just saying things out of anger.
He's stupid.
He was blinded and deafened by his ridiculous pride, refusing to think about it.
"so……"
His voice cracked, becoming hoarse.
"You started sleeping with my dad that night in Nebula?"
Su Ruan looked at his contorted face and suddenly laughed.
"After that night in Nebula, I decided I wanted to be your mom."
