Chapter 33

After waiting for a while, Ruan Xizhi finally came out of the room, about ten minutes later.

Ruan Miaorui, who had been screaming at first, gradually went silent.

Netizens in the live stream had already imagined a bloody movie.

[Could Su Tongtong be Ruan Xizhi’s daughter? The way she’s protecting her makes me question life.]

[I suggest you donate your brain. Who wouldn’t protect a cute kid like Su Tongtong?]

[Right, who would not protect such a cute little angel like Su Tongtong? You must have something wrong with your brain.]

[No wonder the show team had to swap her out. Turns out she was already exposed.]

[Society’s Ruan Xizhi, simply too handsome.]

Ruan Xizhi doesn’t make a move easily, but when she does, it’s bound to be extraordinary.

This certainly stunned the netizens. This might be the most direct confrontation in the entertainment industry.

Ruan Miaorui rushed out, looking disheveled and covering her face, “Ruan Xizhi, just wait, I’m going to sue you!”

Ruan Xizhi casually twisted her neck, not even bothering to look back, “You do whatever you want.”

“You!” Ruan Miaorui had never been humiliated like this. She pointed at the camera, making a last-ditch effort, “Your crimes have all been recorded, aren’t you scared?!”

Ruan Xizhi chuckled and turned around, giving her a contemptuous look, “Exterminating evil and promoting good, what’s there to be afraid of?”

Ruan Miaorui was about to explode from anger.

The netizens, on the other hand, were nearly dying from laughter.

[Hahaha, Ruan Xizhi, you always speak the truth.]

[Exterminating evil and promoting good, hahaha, I can laugh for ten thousand years.]

[Does Ruan Miaorui still think someone is on her side?]

Fans of Ruan Miaorui who had a sense of right and wrong had already turned against her, but there were still some who were abnormal.

They were jumping on the bandwagon.

[Although, hitting people is indeed wrong. Violence doesn’t solve problems.]

[Yes, Ruan Xizhi was too violent and doesn’t deserve to be on a kids’ show. She’s teaching children the wrong things.]

However, now it was the era of Ruan Xizhi’s fans, and these comments were immediately shot down.

[Wow, are you trying to teach us how to be human? Violence doesn’t solve problems, but it can deal with Ruan Miaorui just fine.]

[Teach kids the wrong things? Didn’t you see how Xie Xiaochi and Tongtong’s eyes were shining? Ruan Xizhi is a light in the darkness.]

[Don’t waste time talking to such an idiot. Does he even understand human language?]

Xie Xiaochi looked at Ruan Xizhi with more than just admiration in his eyes—he was in awe.

Thai Pants Spicy!

He decided that he wanted to be someone as tough as a stepmother!

He would beat up the bad guys!

Su Tongtong was also clapping, her heart excited.

Finally, the bad aunt was punished for not letting her grandmother drink milk and for saying her blanket smelled.

“Mommy, you’re amazing!” Su Tongtong genuinely praised her.

Xie Xiaochi was instantly proud, “Yeah, she’s the woman Daddy chose. She’s amazing.”

He held Su Tongtong’s hand with a big brother attitude, “From now on, you’ll follow us.”

Su Tongtong replied sweetly, “Okay, okay!”

Ruan Xizhi firmly decided she would never hand Su Tongtong over to Ruan Miaorui. She instructed Xie Xiaochi to take Su Tongtong’s milk powder while she packed up Su Tongtong’s little suitcase.

A large bag and two small ones in hand, they left the house.

Ruan Miaorui didn’t dare to make a sound throughout, her face hurt too much, and she could only helplessly watch as the final night of filming slipped away from her.

After all the commotion, it was getting late.

When they returned to the villa, Ruan Xizhi prepared the milk that Su Tongtong had been wanting and soon fell asleep in bed.

Because his younger sister was there, Xing Xiaochi didn’t cry or make a fuss. Before going to sleep, he whispered something to Ruan Xizhi.

He said, “I won’t dislike you anymore.”

Ruan Xizhi laughed at him and pinched his face.

Propping her head up, she looked at the two sleeping children and made a decision in her mind.

When the director found out about this decision, he raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t this against the rules?”

“Against the rules?” Ruan Xizhi lazily slouched in her chair. “When people entrust their children to you, it’s because they want them to be safe. If the parents haven’t confronted you today, maybe they just haven’t seen what happened.”

Thinking about Su Tongtong’s background, the director swallowed nervously. “Are you sure the other party won’t hold you accountable?”

“I’m not sure,” Ruan Xizhi replied briskly.

The director was speechless. “Then why did I give you the contact number? Don’t you have any other ideas?”

Ruan Xizhi shrugged. “I already told you, just let me try.”

Startled by her straightforward words, the director finally gave her the contact information for Su Tongtong’s parents.

By the time Ruan Xizhi dialed the number, it was already quite late, but the call went through.

“Hello? Is this Su Tongtong’s mother?”

Tang Yan had been in the livestream room all along and knew everything that had happened that day, including the part where Su Tongtong had been bullied.

She had already contacted people in the circle and planned to deal with Ruan Miaorui as soon as she left the production team, as well as the entire Ruan family.

Anyone who dared to bully her precious daughter was no longer necessary in this world.

However, at the same time, she also knew about Ruan Xizhi standing up for Tongtong.

Naturally, Tang Yan had a very good impression of Ruan Xizhi.

“Yes,” Tang Yan replied, “I’m Tongtong’s mother.”

Ruan Xizhi said, “Sorry to disturb you at this late hour, I wanted to discuss the matter of Tongtong’s temporary guardian.”

“No problem,” Tang Yan quickly interrupted, agreeing before Ruan Xizhi could finish. “I agree for her guardian to be you.”

Ruan Xizhi was stunned. Before she had even finished speaking, the other party had already guessed what she was going to say. It seemed she knew about Ruan Miaorui.

“Alright, since you know, I won’t say more. It’s late, so I won’t keep you.”

After hanging up, Tang Yan turned around and saw Su Zhouchen.

She froze. “You… you finished the video conference?”

Su Zhouchen’s eyes were complicated as his gaze dropped to her phone. “I’ll handle the matter with Tongtong.”

Tang Yan asked, “You already know?”

Su Zhouchen reached out to hug her, pulling her into his arms. “I not only know, but I also know why you asked about little sister last time.”

Tang Yan’s body stiffened. “So… is she…?”

Su Zhouchen was silent for a few seconds, his voice hoarse.

“Little sister… disappeared over twenty years ago.”
