Ruan Mian had never cursed anyone no matter how badly he had been bullied since he was a child. Even if Wu Yongjuan didn’t like Ruan Mian, she didn’t believe he would say these words. On the contrary, she knew her own son very well. Lying was as common as eating.
Ruan Heng covered his head and shouted in protest, “He said it! He really said it yesterday!”
Ruan Donglin glanced at his son in the rearview mirror, and while driving, he educated him in a deep voice: “When you lie in the future, choose a more reliable one. Don’t tell lies that will be exposed in an instant.”
He believed it was acceptable for his son to lie. After all, who in this world doesn’t lie? In business, he relied on lying, so he only taught his son to learn how to lie skillfully rather than not to lie at all.
Ruan Heng felt wronged when he heard what they said. He held his head and continued to shout loudly: “What I said is true! If you don’t believe it, ask him!”
Wu Yongjuan glanced at Ruan Mian, who nodded and whispered: “It’s true.”
Wu Yongjuan rolled her eyes, “Do you think I will believe it? If you really scolded him, would you admit it so easily?”
Ruan Mian: “…”
Ruan Heng couldn’t help but get anxious and shout at the top of his voice: “He has already admitted it, why don’t you believe it!”
Wu Yongjuan slapped him on the top of his head again, “Behave today and don’t make trouble. If you make trouble again, I will scold you too.”
Ruan Heng had no place to express his suffering and wailed in frustration.
His voice was very loud, but obviously, his mother and father didn’t believe him. They just thought he was making trouble. They ignored his shouting, sat in front, and laughed. The two of them were in a particularly good mood today, just like when they usually made money.
Ruan Heng rubbed his head, but didn’t get a response for a long time. He couldn’t help but pout, turn around, and glare at Ruan Mian indignantly.
Ruan Mian shrugged his shoulders innocently. His second uncle and second aunt didn’t want to believe it, and he had no choice. It seemed that the road of swearing was long and far, and he needed to continue to work hard.
Ruan Heng gave him a middle finger, turned his head, and looked out the window. He was depressed all the way and didn’t say a word.
Ruan Mian was happy and relaxed, leaning against the car window, quietly looking at the scenery outside the window. Thinking about the carrot cake that Lu Yang mentioned yesterday, it seemed that he couldn’t eat it today.
He couldn’t help but pat his stomach. He had spent a little time calling Lu Yang just now, so he came downstairs later. He hadn’t had breakfast yet and was feeling a bit hungry, especially since Wu Yongjuan had hurried him into the car.
However, looking at the faces of Ruan Donglin and Wu Yongjuan, he probably wouldn’t let him get off to buy breakfast, so he didn’t waste his words and kept quiet, enduring his hunger, hoping they would offer him something to eat later during the blind date.
He felt somewhat puzzled about Ruan Donglin and Wu Yongjuan’s intentions behind setting up this blind date. Although he knew their motives couldn’t be good, he wasn’t sure of their exact reasons. If they simply wanted to drive him away from home and have him live on campus, that would be enough. Why resort to such complicated maneuvers?
An hour later, they arrived at the blind date location. After getting off, Ruan Mian recognized that this was the home of Wu Yongjuan’s third brother. Ruan Mian had come here with them to pay New Year’s greetings.
In fact, he had basically met all of Wu Yongjuan’s relatives, but he didn’t know who Wu Yongjuan wanted him to go on a blind date with. Now it seems that it should be Wu Yongjuan’s second nephew. If he remembered correctly, his name was Wu Shenchen.
Ruan Mian’s expression dimmed. It seemed that his good second aunt had indeed carefully selected a blind date for him, but she had chosen the one with the worst character among her nephews and nieces.
Thinking of Wu Shenchen’s behavior, he couldn’t help but frown. Wu Shenchen was two years older than him and was a well-known gangster in the school. As a Beta, he often harassed the Omegas in school, which led to the school contacting his parents several times. There was one incident where things almost got out of hand, but Wu Yongjuan personally intervened to resolve it for him.
Ruan Mian felt that if he had to spend his whole life with such a person, he would probably be so angry that he would never have peace.
When they entered the room, Wu Shenchen was leaning on the sofa, picking his teeth, and touching his stomach with his hand. It was obvious that he had just finished his meal.
He heard a sound, slightly raised his eyes, saw Ruan Mian, and kept his gaze fixed on his face for half a minute. His eyes brightened, and he gave Ruan Mian a mischievous smile.
Ruan Mian saw his lustful eyes, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows intensified further. He couldn’t imagine what would happen if he moved here.
Wu Shenchen’s parents were also in the living room. Seeing them, they stood up enthusiastically and greeted them. Although they were smiling, they looked at Ruan Mian with very harsh eyes, as if they wanted to analyze every strand of his hair.
Wu Shenchen was very satisfied with Ruan Mian’s appearance. Although he had seen Ruan Mian when he was a child and knew that he looked good, he didn’t expect that after so many years, he would become more and more beautiful, and even more beautiful than all the Omegas he had seen.
He couldn’t help but smile at Wu Yongjuan, winking and saying, “Aunt, you still love me.”
Wu Yongjuan patted his hand and said meaningfully, “We are a family. Of course, we have to share good things. If I don’t love you, who will I love?”
Wu Shenchen knew that she was referring to the inheritance. They looked at each other and couldn’t help but smile more brightly.
Ruan Mian is exceptionally good-looking, a rare beauty among thousands. If marriage were to happen, the inheritance of a large fortune would go to them. This would truly be a tremendous stroke of luck.
He turned to look at Ruan Mian and couldn’t help showing a determined look, “Xiao Mian, long time no see.”
Ruan Mian nodded gently, feeling uncomfortable when he looked at him.
Wu Yongjuan smiled, pushed Wu Shenchen towards Ruan Mian, and whispered, “Go and have a chat with your cousin. Xiao Mian is the most considerate. You will definitely like him.”
Wu Shenchen nodded in a deep and gentlemanly manner, walked over, and tried to put his arm around Ruan Mian’s shoulder, “Come on, cousin, let’s go to the next room and have a chat.”
Ruan Mian discreetly avoided his hand and dared not be alone with him. He looked up and said, “Let’s talk here.”
Wu Shenchen smiled faintly and pointed to a table behind a solid wooden screen, saying, “Let’s talk over there. It’s quieter.”
Ruan Mian glanced over. The table was somewhat distant from their current spot. Although others wouldn’t hear their conversation clearly, they could still see them. Wu Shenchen wouldn’t likely do anything in front of everyone. This eased his mind slightly.
Ruan Donglin pushed Ruan Mian and whispered, “Go over quickly.”
Ruan Mian glanced at his second uncle, lowered his head, and followed Wu Shenchen.
The two sat down at the table. Wu Shenchen poured him a cup of coffee in a proper manner and pushed it in front of him personally, saying in an intimate tone: “Xiao Mian, have some coffee.”
Ruan Mian looked at the dark brown coffee in front of him and pursed his lips, “I can’t drink coffee.”
Coffee contains biological alkaloids, which may cause poisoning in rabbits. As he is of pure blood, Ruan Mian will not be affected that much, but it is not without any effect, so he usually does not drink coffee.
Wu Shenchen withdrew the coffee, muttering under his breath, dissatisfied with Ruan Mian’s attitude, feeling that he was not giving him face.
Ruan Mian’s phone rang. He took it out and took a look. It was a message from Lu Yang.
Baby Lu: How is it?
Tutu: I am on a blind date with Wu Shenchen.
Baby Lu: The one I beat up?
Ruan Mian was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Lu Yang did beat up Wu Shenchen. That was the first time he saw Lu Yang beat someone up personally since he could remember.
When he was ten years old, Wu Shenchen went to Ruan’s house to play and deliberately broke the music box his mother left for him. He was so upset that he cried out of anger and sadness. Lu Yang happened to see this and gave Wu Shenchen a beating. At that time, Wu Shenchen was a chubby little boy, crying and screaming loudly, like a pig being slaughtered.
When Ruan Mian thought of this past, he didn’t want to look up at Wu Shenchen’s annoying face, so he lowered his head and continued to send messages to Lu Yang.
Wu Shenchen looked at him, continuously bowing his head to play with his phone, unwilling to pay attention to him, and couldn’t help but frown in displeasure, “Who are you talking to?”
While typing a reply, Ruan Mian casually said: “Lu Yang.”
When Wu Shenchen heard Lu Yang’s name, he couldn’t help but feel a pang in his body. He had a deep impression of this name. When he was twelve years old, he went to Ruan’s house to play and was unexpectedly beaten up by an Omega who was two years younger than him. He couldn’t get up afterwards, and this was a humiliation he couldn’t forget even if he tried.
He turned his head away with an unpleasant expression and sneered, “After so many years, you two are still good friends?”
“Yeah.” Ruan Mian continued to tap on the phone and nodded gently.
Wu Shenchen’s lips tightened unhappily, and he said in a commanding tone: “If you are with me in the future, just cut off contact with him. I don’t like him, stay away from him.”
“…” Ruan Mian couldn’t help but be speechless. He and Wu Shenchen haven’t even started dating yet, and Wu Shenchen has already started to control his friendship situation?
He ignored him and continued to send messages to Lu Yang.
Tutu: He told me to stay away from you.
Baby Lu: Tell him to get lost.
Ruan Mian looked up at Wu Shenchen and said in a neutral voice: “He told you to get lost.”
Wu Shenchen was stunned for a moment, thinking of the grand occasion of being beaten by Lu Yang that year, and couldn’t help but feel a toothache, “You told him so soon?”
Ruan Mian nodded, looking innocent.
Wu Shenchen thought for a while with a deep expression and suddenly felt that he didn’t need to be so afraid of Lu Yang. They were all grown up now, and their physical characteristics were gradually becoming more obvious. Omegas were born weak and not as strong as Alphas and Betas. Even if he appeared in front of Lu Yang now, Lu Yang probably wouldn’t dare to hit him.
With this thought, he relaxed a bit and asked lazily, “He told me to get lost? If he told me to get lost, should I just leave? He’s nothing but a chicken feather1someone insignificant. Tell me, where is he now?”
Wu Shenchen felt that he couldn’t lose face in front of Ruan Mian, and he had to settle the grudge of being beaten up at the age of twelve.
