After the divorce, my ex-husband and son lined up to pursue me.

Chapter 36 Old ginger is spicier

Ruan Muhuai withdrew his gaze, shrugged weakly, and sighed.

"Grandpa, as we agreed before, Chaochao will be yours from now on. My dad and I were both raised by you, so please teach my son for me."

Old man: “…”

Again!
The old man looked at him, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but patted Ruan Muhuai on the shoulder and said, "Come to the study later, and we'll have a good talk."

Ruan Muhuai responded and was about to take another step to find Lu Yunzhou when he heard Chaochao shouting, "Aunt Xinrou is so good to me! I like Aunt Xinrou the most! I want Aunt Xinrou to be my mom!"

The huge living room fell silent instantly.

Ruan Yuanchao was completely unaware of how awful her words were. Taking advantage of being a patient and the apple of the family's eye, she threw herself into her second grandfather's arms and cried, "I want Aunt Xinrou to be my mom! Promise me! Promise me!"

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

Grandpa bent down and let go, and Ruan Yuanchao landed on the ground. She immediately started rolling around on the floor, throwing a tantrum: "Promise me! Otherwise, I won't get up! I want Aunt Xinrou to be my mom!"

"Mommy mommy……"

He thrashed and rolled around, staring longingly at the stunned Xin Rou, calling out "Mom" repeatedly until everyone was numb. "Aunt Xin Rou is my mom, I want Aunt Xin Rou..."

In that instant, the old man finally understood why Ruan Muhuai didn't want this son.

This isn't typical... isn't it just a monstrous creature!
Second Grandfather frowned, then immediately looked at Uncle De and hurriedly waved to Chaochao.

The implication was that Uncle De should quickly take the child away.

Uncle De snapped out of his daze and hurriedly did as instructed.

"Don't pull me! I won't go! Great-Grandpa...don't you love me the most? Great-Auntie...Xiao Bao wants Aunt Xin Rou to be his mother, please promise me, please promise me..."

Ruan Yuanchao continued to struggle and plead, but his cries faded into the distance as Uncle De carried him away.

But the room full of shocked people fell into a deafening silence.

Lu Yunzhou awkwardly cleared his throat, glanced at his uncle, and the two quickly excused themselves and hurriedly left.

The rest were all members of the Ruan family, plus Xin Rou.

Seeing that no one spoke up, Xin Rou felt awkward and embarrassed, so she said, "The children are just joking around and talking nonsense. You can't take it seriously."

"Nonsense!" The aunt's voice boomed, her sharp gaze once again fixed on Xin Rou. "Your name is Xin Rou, Xin..."

The sound was slightly drawn out.

Xin Rou's heart was in her throat. Her intuition told her that this aunt was not someone to be trifled with. Just that staring gaze made her scalp tingle and her whole body tremble.

Uncle De returned and, seeing his aunt's gaze, knew what had happened. He quickly leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear.

The old woman narrowed her eyes slightly in realization, her gaze still fixed on Xin Rou, but her tone became sarcastic: "So you come from a humble family, no wonder your heart is so crooked!"

Xin Rou was startled and asked nervously, "What's wrong with you...?"

"Do I need to explain? Wouldn't that make you look even more shameful?" The aunt's words were as if she were directly saying that Xin Rou was shameless.

Xin Rou was now utterly humiliated.

"Alright, Auntie," Ruan Muhuai said promptly, stepping forward to block Xin Rou. "This has nothing to do with her."

Then he turned to Xin Rou and said, "Don't overthink it, you should go back first."

Her voice softened noticeably. Xin Rou smiled gently, "I didn't expect Chaochao to be so immature, but he's still young, and he was just saying things in anger. Don't scold him anymore, just talk to him gently."

"Ok, I know."

"I still have quite a few things with Chaochao. Should I bring them here later, or..."

Ruan Muhuai then said, "Don't bother, I'll have someone come and clean up later."

"That's good. Oh, by the way, I recently invested in a medical research project, partly because of the Japan-China Friendship Hospital. But there's a lot of shady stuff going on here. Could you help me check it out sometime?"

"it is good."

……

The two chatted without any regard for others, and the old man, great-aunt, and even the second grandfather all cooperated by not interrupting, but everyone's face darkened at the sight.

Xin Rou also sensed the subtle atmosphere around her, and quickly stopped talking, saying to Ruan Muhuai, "Then I'll be leaving now."

Then, as she was about to nod goodbye to the old man and her great-aunt, she heard her great-aunt sneer, "Why are you leaving? You might as well make things clear!"

Xin Rou was startled and subconsciously looked at her aunt who was walking over. She immediately stepped back and circled around behind Ruan Muhuai, her hand still tightly gripping his arm.

This is seeking asylum...

The aunt's sneer intensified, "Not bad, you're a really good mistress, and your methods are quite sophisticated! You know how to seduce and possess a man, first win over and instigate his son, then take down Ruan Yuanchao, and then his father."

Having lived most of her life, her great-aunt had experienced everything. Xin Rou's tricks were no match for her, and she could see through Xin Rou's thoughts at a glance.

Xin Rou, stunned, hurriedly shook her head: "No, I didn't..."

The great-aunt raised her hand to interrupt: "To put it bluntly, you just want to squeeze out Jiang Xia, take her place, and become the next granddaughter-in-law of our Ruan family, Mu Huai's wife!"

This little bit of scheming and infighting among adults has somehow dragged the children into it.

The old woman's hateful gaze turned even colder in an instant: "Then I'll tell you the truth, it's impossible! Stop dreaming!"

Xin Rou was caught off guard and her expression changed drastically, turning red and white in turns. She looked extremely unpleasant.

"No, I didn't mean that. Aunt, you've really misunderstood me..."

“Grandma, I understand what you mean, but this really has nothing to do with Xin Rou.” Ruan Muhuai also spoke up, and patted Xin Rou’s arm to signal her to go first.

Xin Rou wanted to leave, but before she could take two steps, she saw two bodyguards blocking her way at the entrance.

"Mu Huai, your grandfather will talk to you about your matter later." The great-aunt sneered, dismissing Ruan Mu Huai with a single sentence, then looked at Xin Rou: "You were Mu Huai's first love. You were doing well together back then, do you know why you broke up?"

Xin Rou was stunned.

The reason for the breakup...

She wanted to study in Tokyo but didn't want a long-distance relationship, so she wanted to bring Ruan Muhuai along. After all, her family's Sino-Japanese Friendship Hospital could provide them with better career options.

After graduation, she also wanted to stay in Tokyo, so she changed her nationality and worked with Ruan Muhuai and his wife to serve the Yamato people.

Although she didn't say these things directly to Ruan Mu, Ruan Mu Huai seemed to sense something, or something else, and in any case, he broke up with her first.
