Chapter 181 The Frail Fake Young Master Gets Targeted by the Real Young Master 04

Mr. Wang looked at the boy on the ground with a sinister expression.

Lu Huaiyuan paused in his drinking, and subconsciously looked over, only to see a boy staring intently at him with a pleading expression.

He remembered that this was the son of one of the Lu family's nannies, and they were classmates. His name was... Su Tingxi, I think?

"Holy crap—isn't this the class monitor?" Duan Jingcheng recognized Su Tingxi, who was being pinned down by the middle-aged man, at a glance and subconsciously looked at Su Tingxi.

Then, to Su Tingxi's shocked expression, he spun around like a top and punched the "General Manager Wang" so hard that his nose was broken.

Mr. Wang let out a piercing scream, clutching his bleeding nose and glaring fiercely at Duan Jingcheng. "You dare hit me? Do you know who I am?!"

"I don't care who you are, you're bullying our class representative! You've got some nerve taking people away against their will!"

"Ha, I'm President Wang of Jia Yi Entertainment, how dare you treat me like this?"

"What Jia Yi Entertainment? Never heard of it!"

Duan Jingcheng helped Su Tingxi up from the ground, not even glancing at President Wang, and led Su Tingxi to Lu Huaiyuan's side.

Furious at being completely ignored, Mr. Wang was about to lash out when he overheard people whispering around him. After hearing what they were saying, Mr. Wang slunk away.

"Isn't that Duan Er Shao, the youngest son of the Duan family? Who is this President Wang that he dares to offend the Duan family?"

"Who wouldn't? Nobody would have thought that the young man actually knew Young Master Duan. Tsk tsk tsk, I guess President Wang is going to make a mistake this time."

"Second Young Master Duan? Which Duan family?"

"Which Duan family could it be?" The man glanced disdainfully at the person speaking beside him. "Of course it's that Duan family! Is there possibly another Duan family in City C?!"

Mr. Wang's pupils contracted, and he realized that he had offended someone he shouldn't have. He glanced in Duan Jingcheng's direction, took a deep breath, and slunk away.

The Duan family is not someone a small entertainment company boss like him can afford to offend.

That's a powerful family in City C; even if you gave them a hundred lives, they wouldn't dare mess with them.

******

Su Tingxi gratefully thanked Duan Jingcheng, "Duan, I really have to thank you this time, otherwise I'm afraid..."

"Class monitor, why are you calling me 'classmate'? It sounds too formal. Just call me by my name."

"Duan...Duan Jingcheng?" Su Tingxi called out hesitantly.

"Yes, just call me that." Duan Jingcheng straightened his clothes and asked in confusion, "Why did that man take you away just now?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Tingxi's back stiffened, and her expression turned rather unpleasant.

Ning Du nudged Duan Jingcheng helplessly.

Does this guy not think before he speaks? He even said his words were unpleasant. Even if his words are unpleasant, he's still better than this idiot. At least he wouldn't ask these kinds of questions at a time like this.

“I don’t even know him, but he said I was sold to him…”

Towards the end, Su Tingxi gave a bitter smile, "It must have been my dad. He must have sold me to Boss Wang to pay off his debts."

Duan Jingcheng was shocked and indignant, saying, "No, are you sure he's your biological father? What kind of father sells his own son to pay off his debts?!"

Ning Du and Shang Qinglan both sighed in exasperation.

Has this idiot's brain been eaten?

Su Tingxi forced a stiff smile. "If only I weren't his biological daughter..."

But he just happened to be that man's biological son.

Whenever Su Tingxi thought of that man, a feeling of resentment would rise in her heart.

He idles away his days, never working, but living off his mother's wages as a nanny in the Lu family. Whenever he has money, he gambles it away, accumulating a mountain of debt. He also beats and verbally abuses him and his mother regularly.

Now they're even going to sell him to an old man...

Su Tingxi really wished she wasn't that person's biological son, so he wouldn't have to endure all this anymore.

If it weren't for Duan Jingcheng and his group today, he might really have been...

Thinking about Su Tingxi makes me feel a little scared.

He glanced at the group with gratitude.

Duan Jingcheng realized he had said the wrong thing and was immediately filled with remorse.

Su Tingxi seemed to sense his unease and quickly said, "It's alright, these are all facts anyway, there's nothing that can't be said."

"So what are your plans for the future?" Shang Qinglan asked.

Su Tingxi turned her gaze to Lu Huaiyuan, who had not uttered a word. "My mother works for the Lu family now, and she earns a considerable salary every month. I plan to tell my mother about what happened today, and I want her to get a divorce."

That man is not worth her supporting indefinitely.

Su Tingxi's eyes were resolute. In the past, he would have been persuaded by his mother, but now, he would persuade her to get a divorce.

Otherwise, should she continue her unhappy life with a man like that?

"Well, I was just about to go back to the Lu family. If you're free, you can come back with me."

Su Tingxi smiled gratefully, "Thank you, young master!"

Lu Huaiyuan left, followed by Su Tingxi.

The two returned to the Lu family home together, only to be met with a puzzled look from Lu's mother. "Huaiyuan, weren't you at the hospital with Shengsheng? Why are you back?"

He said he was tired and wanted to rest, so I came back.

Lu's mother had no suspicions. "Then when Sheng Sheng wakes up, I'll bring him some soup again."

"By the way, Tingxi, your mother seems to have had another flare-up of her old ailment. I sent her home to rest. Take good care of her when you get back. Your salary will remain the same during this period."

"Thank you, thank you, madam!"

Su Tingxi was extremely grateful and hurried home.

As soon as I got home, I heard a man cursing from inside the room: "Damn it, he's having another episode! What the hell can you do? If you keep this up and I lose my job, I'll beat you to death!"

Su Tingxi's eyes narrowed, and she burst through the door.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the man holding a belt and whipping the woman repeatedly.

The woman remained meek and silent, enduring all of this.

Hearing the door open, the man subconsciously looked over and was surprised to see Su Tingxi.

"Oh, the little brat's back?" The man looked Su Tingxi up and down. "Why are you back so fast? Didn't you serve President Wang properly?!"

Su Tingxi clenched her fists so tightly they cracked.

The woman on the ground, having keenly caught the man's words, looked up sharply and asked incredulously, "What did you just say? Who is Mr. Wang? What did you tell him to do to Xiaoxi?"

The man sneered, "What can you do? It's just to make him serve President Wang properly for me."

The woman collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face. She frantically scratched at the man with her nails, yelling, "You bastard! Xiaoxi is your own son!"

"What's the use? Can he make me win money or turn me into a millionaire? If it weren't for his decent looks..."

The woman suddenly stood up and slapped him hard across the face.

"You bitch, how dare you hit me?!"
