Chapter 32

This night was destined to be extraordinary.

Ruan Miaorui returned to her room and immediately received a call from her agency, telling her that after this recording, someone would be coming to replace her.

“It’s impossible! No one can replace me!” Ruan Miaorui didn’t believe it. “If anyone is to be replaced, it should be Ruan Xizhi. Don’t joke with me.”

Her manager sneered, laughing at her ignorance.

“I think you’ve gotten too confused staying in the countryside. Haven’t you seen what Ruan Xizhi has done recently? She even helped farmers by securing a three-billion-dollar project and got sponsorship from other groups. Do you still think she’s the same Ruan Xizhi from before?”

The manager didn’t want to waste time arguing with her. “I don’t care how much grudges you have with Ruan Xizhi, but you better behave. Otherwise, don’t even think about surviving in the entertainment industry.”

Ruan Miaorui was still in shock. “Who is it? Who is replacing me?”

The manager replied, “Someone you can’t afford to offend.”

After hanging up the phone, Ruan Miaorui couldn’t shake the news.

No, this is impossible.

How could she be replaced?

At that moment, the door to her room opened, and Su Tongtong walked in holding a small blanket. She tugged at Ruan Miaorui’s sleeve, saying, “Tongtong wants to sleep, want milk.”

When Ruan Miaorui didn’t respond, Su Tongtong gently tugged again, “Auntie, want milk, mix milk.”

Anger clouded Ruan Miaorui’s mind. She slapped Su Tongtong’s hand away, saying, “Milk, milk my ass. Get out of here and stop bothering me!”

Su Tongtong had a very good temperament, never crying or making a scene. The only thing she wanted before sleeping was her milk.

Now, feeling sleepy and being scolded without milk, her eyes turned red, and she clutched the small blanket, quietly sobbing.

Perhaps because she was very good at reading the room, she knew Ruan Miaorui was in a bad mood, so she didn’t dare cry loudly. She quietly turned around and left the room.

Once out of the room, she climbed downstairs and stood in the yard, hesitating.

Finally, she turned around, her eyes red, and said to the cameraman, “Can you take me to find Guoguo and them? It’s dark ahead, and I’m scared.”

At this moment, no one could remain indifferent. The cameraman’s heart melted, and he nodded.

The viewers in the livestream room were heartbroken when they saw Tongtong looking so wronged.

【What’s wrong with Tongtong?】
【She just came out of the room like this.】
【Did she get bullied?】
【There was only Ruan Miaorui in the room.】
【Damn, I’m about to curse, how could anyone be so rude to such a well-behaved little kid?】
【Is it because she’s not your own child that you treat her like this?】
【Sorry, this is unacceptable. Ruan Miaorui should be kicked out of the variety show.】

When the cameraman took Su Tongtong to Ruan Xizhi’s villa, the two of them were relaxing and soaking their feet in bliss.

Their expressions were the same, both slouched in chairs, eyes closed, breathing in sync.

At that moment, they looked more like a real mother and son than anyone else.

Originally, a group of netizens who were defending Tongtong couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing when they saw this scene.

【Hahahaha, I’m dying, no one would believe they’re not biologically related!】
【How did they manage to have identical expressions?】
【I noticed earlier, Ruan Xizhi seems to value her life a lot.】
【Does she just seem to value her life? She’s the queen of cherishing her life.】
【I love this foot-soaking segment. Can we add a seat for Tongtong?】

Su Tongtong, holding her small blanket, walked over and softly called out, “Guoguo.”

Xing Xiaochi and Ruan Xizhi opened their eyes at the same time and saw Su Tongtong staring at them with tear-streaked cheeks.

Ruan Xizhi’s heart ached, and she quickly put on her shoes and rushed over to hug Su Tongtong. “Oh, little darling, what happened? Why are you crying?”

Xing Xiaochi, even without his shoes on, stomped over, looking like he was ready to fight. “Who, who bullied you? I’ll go beat them up!”

“Right,” Ruan Xizhi didn’t follow the usual script. “Tell your little brother to go beat them up.”

【Hahahaha, I’m dying!】
【Damn, Ruan Xizhi is really killing it as a mother.】
【I love it, this is exactly what I want!】

Su Tongtong had already calmed herself down, but seeing that someone cared about her, she suddenly felt a wave of grievance rise in her heart.

She threw herself into Ruan Xizhi’s arms and sobbed, “I want grandma, grandma…”

Ruan Xizhi’s heart broke. She gently stroked Su Tongtong’s back, “Shh, don’t cry, sweetheart. You miss grandma, don’t you? It’s okay, you’ll see grandma tomorrow.”

Su Tongtong was gasping for air, finally finishing her sentence, “I want milk, want milk.”

Ruan Xizhi: “…….”

So it turns out she wanted to drink from Grandma, not just mention Grandma.

“Alright, I’ll go get you some milk from Grandma.”

As soon as she said that, Ruan Xizhi realized there was no milk powder for children here—it’s all at Ruan Miaorui’s place.

Speaking of Ruan Miaorui, how is she raising the child? Not even giving him milk.

Ruan Xizhi had a bad feeling and asked Su Tongtong, “Tongtong, tell sister, is it because Aunt Ruan didn’t give you any milk?”

The child wouldn’t lie. Su Tongtong pouted and nodded. “Auntie didn’t give me milk and told me to go away, like this.” She imitated Ruan Miaorui’s actions and flicked her hand.

She mimicked it perfectly, but in the next second, tears welled up in her eyes as she touched her hand. “Sister, look, it’s red!”

FUCk!

Ruan Xizhi couldn’t take it anymore.

She could tolerate anything, but not when her little angel was being bullied.

She grabbed Su Tongtong and, her face flushed with anger, shouted, “Xing Xiaochi, let’s go!”

Xing Xiaochi stood with his hands on his hips, looking like a big brother. “Let’s go!”

The trio stormed towards Ruan Miaorui’s house with forceful steps.

[Fk, this is too much, I’m switching from a fan to a hater!]**

[I don’t understand how such trash can have so many fans.]

[Sorry, I was blind, I’m switching from fan to hater.]

[@Mom is back, aren’t you going to stop her from bullying kids? Don’t make me curse.]

Ruan Miaorui had discovered who was replacing her, and to her surprise, it was Su Yan.

It was just a little variety show. How could Su Yan come and take it from her? She never understood.

Until the door to her room was knocked, and Ruan Miaorui dragged herself to open it.

The moment the door opened, Ruan Xizhi ordered Xing Xiaochi to cover his eyes and told Su Tongtong to turn around.

Then there was a loud “smack” echoing through the small room.

Ruan Miaorui’s head was slapped to the side with such force that her ears rang, and her skin quickly heated up.

She froze for three seconds before reacting, glaring at Ruan Xizhi in fury, “You hit me?!”

Ruan Xizhi sneered, her voice sharp, “I’m hitting you.”

[!!!]

[Sister Zhi is even more badass than I thought!]

[Wow, so satisfying, abusing Tongtong is unforgivable!]

[Ruan Miaorui, get out of the entertainment industry!]

[Boohoo, Su Yan, come save your niece, I can’t watch this evil woman anymore. She’s dirtying my eyes.]

Ruan Miaorui furrowed her brow, grinding her teeth, “Ruan Xizhi, don’t think that just because you have a big shot backing you, you can do whatever you want. Don’t forget, I have dirt on you!”

Ruan Xizhi: “Oh no, I’m so scared, I’m terrified, boohoo.”

[Hahahahahahaha]

[I was mad, but Ruan Xizhi’s laugh killed me.]

[Ruan Xizhi is officially a comedy queen hahahaha.]

Ruan Xizhi stepped closer, her amber eyes narrowing, and her aura shifted sharply, “I’m not the same Ruan Xizhi you used to bully. Don’t try this act on me anymore.”

Ruan Miaorui froze, meeting Ruan Xizhi’s sharp, dark eyes.

Cold and piercing, sending chills down her spine.

This was exactly the aura Ruan Xizhi should have had—it was completely different now.

She took another step forward, and Ruan Miaorui backed up. “What… what do you want to do?”

“I warned you, don’t touch Tongtong.” Ruan Xizhi’s voice dropped, “You didn’t listen, so now I won’t hold back.”

Ruan Xizhi reached out and shoved Ruan Miaorui into the room, then walked in and slammed the door shut.

Soon, Ruan Miaorui’s screams could be heard from inside.

Netizens: “!!!”

[What’s happening here? This is amazing!]

[Ruan Xizhi is really my queen!]

[Wow, let’s see them fight! ]

*[Hahahaha, Ruan covered her mouth, and there are still two kids outside (laughing to death ≧▽≦)]

The two kids pressed their ears against the door.

There was a lot of noise inside. Su Tongtong blinked her pretty eyes and asked, “What are they doing in there?”

Xing Xiaochi put his finger to his lips and shushed her. “From my experience, they’re probably playing a really exciting game, and it’s super painful.”

[What the hell is this ‘exciting’?ヾ(＞∀＜)]

[Xiaochi, you know too much!]

[Sorry, my mind went dirty, I’m so embarrassed! [hugging dog head]]
