Chapter 222 (Second Update)

222:

Before He Yao could react, he was kicked to the ground. Mu Shaoyan grabbed him and his fists fell mercilessly.

He was young and strong, with rich fighting experience. He Yao was no match for him and was beaten so badly that he had no chance to fight back.

"What are you doing?!" He Yao shouted, covering his face. "Who sent you?!"

"I asked him to come, is that not allowed?" Mu Shaoyan said matter-of-factly.

He Yao:? ? ?

"What have I done to offend you?!"

Mu Shaoyan clicked his tongue, "Of course it was when you were my 'adoptive father,' didn't you know? I was an adoptive father too!"

After Mu Shaoyan finished speaking, he hit even harder.

"And another thing," he said, looking at the person lying at his feet, "why do you care who she is? She's your mother. She doesn't want others to know, and you have no right to tell others she's your mother! With such a foul mouth, you deserve to be beaten!"

"If there's a next time, I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

After Mu Shaoyan finished speaking, he kicked the child again, took out his phone to take a picture, and then left to go home for dinner.

He got into the car and sent the photos to Mu Shaowu and Mu Shaoting respectively.

Mu Shaowu: !!!

Mu Shaoting: !!!

Mu Shaowu: [You went to beat someone up again?]

Mu Shaoyan: [He deserves a beating.]

Mu Shaowu: ...That doesn't seem to be wrong.

Especially at Mu Shaoyan's age, he's at the age where he likes to resort to violence at the slightest disagreement.

Mu Shaowu: [Does he know who you are?]

Mu Shaoyan didn't care at all: "Who knows?"

Mu Shaowu: [Didn't you introduce yourself?]

Mu Shaoyan replied, "Why am I saying all this? But his brother knows me, so he might find out from him."

Mu Shaoyan: [Don't worry, I'm willing to fight and admit defeat. Even if it goes all the way to the United Nations, I'll have a legitimate reason to do so!]

"That's true," Mu Shaowu thought to himself. Mu Shaoyan was Ye Qingxi's uncle and Mu Shaoting's younger brother. It was perfectly reasonable for him to avenge his nephew and sister.

Especially since Ye Qingxi is just a child, and Mu Shaoting is an innocent victim dragged into this by He Yao, netizens were already feeling indignant on their behalf. Now, even if He Yao posts on Weibo saying that he was beaten by Mu Shaoyan, netizens will probably say, "Good riddance! Justice from heaven! Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish!"

Thinking of this, Mu Shaowu felt relieved.

Mu Shaowu: [You'd better come back for dinner soon.]

Mu Shaoting stared at the pig's head photo that appeared on her WeChat for two seconds before recognizing it as He Yao!

Oh dear, how did it get like this?!

Mu Shaoting: [You hit him?!]

Mu Shaoyan: [Yeah, just got it, fresh and hot!]

Mu Shaoting: [As expected of you, well done!]

Mu Shaoyan: [Of course, so don't be angry. He's such a pig, he's not worth your anger.]

Mu Shaoting: [I'm not angry~ I knew this day would come.]

Seeing that she wasn't angry, Mu Shaoyan felt relieved.

He originally asked the class monitor for He Guang's address and came to find He Yao simply to avenge Ye Qingxi. But who would have thought that before he even got off the bus, the internet was in turmoil, and that bastard He Yao exposed Mu Shaoting's true identity!

Mu Shaoyan was so angry that he immediately ordered the driver to speed up!

That's perfect, they caught He Yao red-handed.

He Yao, whose head had been beaten into a pig's head, waited until Mu Shaoyan left before finally getting up from the ground.

He took out his phone and looked at his current appearance, feeling both hatred and pain, and his whole body ached.

How can he possibly face his agent in this state?!

How can I even go out now?!

Frustrated and angry, He Yao went home.

When He's mother saw him like this, she was so distressed that she almost cried. "What's wrong? What happened?"

He Guang watched, feeling a pang of pity.

His feelings for He Yao are rather complicated to put it into words.

He may hate He Yao now, hate his parents for favoring him, hate that he is aloof and always seems to look down on him.

However, even before he left Class 1 of Senior Three, he was actually quite close to He Yao, just like a younger brother would to an older brother.

However, after he reported Mu Shaoyan for cheating, his classmates gradually distanced themselves from him. Mu Shaoyan's grades improved, while his grades worsened, eventually leading to his being demoted from Class 1 to the honors class.

He was already feeling wronged, but his mother and He Yao kept nagging and criticizing him, thinking he wasn't hardworking or ambitious.

Is it because he doesn't work hard or have any ambition?

There was nothing he could do!

His mother said then, "You're really no match for your brother at all!"

After that, this phrase seemed to become her catchphrase.

When the college entrance exam was over, his score was only high enough for a second-tier university. His mother started repeating her old refrain, "You're both boys in the family, how come you're so much worse off than your brother!"

"Can't you learn from your brother?!"

He Yao looked at him, his eyes filled with condemnation and dissatisfaction.

It's as if he did something shameful by getting this score!

From that time on, He Guang slowly began to hate his mother and brother!

He hated that his mother only cared about his brother, hated that his brother was the so-called pride of the He family, hated that he didn't care about him at all, and hated that he had betrayed his former admiration for him.

But looking at his face now, He Guang couldn't help but worry and asked, "Who hit him?!"

"I don't know him either. He's a student who looks about your age, and he seems quite well-behaved. I didn't expect him to be so ruthless."

He Guang immediately thought of Mu Shaoyan.

His brother had such a falling out with Mu Shaowu, Mu Shaoting, and Ye Qingxi. It would have been better if Mu Shaoyan hadn't known, but now that he did, how could he possibly let him off the hook?

He was a school bully and was incredibly skilled at fighting, so how could his brother possibly withstand him?

“But…it might be Mu Shaoyan.” He Guang said softly, “Mu Shaowu and Mu Shaoting’s younger brother, Ye Qingxi’s uncle. He’s a very good fighter and used to be the school bully.”

He Yao:! ! !

He Yao immediately looked at his younger brother.

“I told you before,” He Guang said, feeling a little uncomfortable under his gaze, “that I ran into him once, and he suddenly went crazy and yelled at me, which startled me.”

He Yao:......

He Yao thought he was truly useless!

Someone else's younger brother beat him up so that his older siblings could travel a long distance to visit him.

But what about his brother?!

His younger brother is still standing in front of him, not moving at all!

"How did he know our home address? Did you give it to him?"

He Guang shook his head, but he had written in the yearbook, which contained his address, so Mu Shaoyan could still find out if he wanted to.

He Guang felt a little guilty and dared not mention it.

He Yao watched him stand there as if nothing had happened, his anger rising within him!

Since his father died, this family has been supported by him and his mother!

His younger siblings have all used his money quite a bit.

But now, his brother is standing there like an idiot, and his sister has even changed his password to prevent him from using her Weibo account. Is this something a normal younger brother or sister would do?!

Waste! Ungrateful wretch! Coward!

"Mu Shaoyan would fight me for his brother, his sister, and even that nephew who isn't related to him by blood. What about you? What are you standing there for? Aren't I your own brother? Are you just going to watch your own brother get beaten up and do nothing?"

He Guang: ? ? ? ?

He Guang simply didn't understand what he meant by those words.

Could it be that he's being sent to seek revenge on Mu Shaoyan?!

He hit Mu Shaoyan?!

Are you kidding me?

Isn't this just handing ourselves over to Mu Shaoyan to beat us up?!

He Guang could only pretend not to understand.

"Brother, I'll go get your medicine."

"I don't want medicine!"

He Yao was no longer in the mood to apply the medicine!

"You know him, don't you? Go avenge me. If Mu Shaowu's brother can do it, why can't my brother?!"

“I can’t beat him.” He Guang was utterly devastated. “He’s the school bully.”

"Then you figure something out!"

He Guang: ...

He Guang thought he was crazy!

What could he possibly do?

Especially considering how wealthy the Mu family is!

Even if he paid someone to take his job, no one would dare to do it!

Besides, given Mu Shaoyan's fighting ability, the people he paid to hire might just be food for him.

He Guang turned and walked into his room, not wanting to stay in front of He Yao any longer, lest He Yao really go crazy and make him beat up Mu Shaoyan.

Seeing He Guang's cowardly and useless appearance, He Yao was filled with rage. He stepped forward, grabbed He Guang, and gave him a brutal beating.

He's mother rushed to stop her, and He Han, having heard the noise, hurriedly ran away.

"Are you crazy? What are you doing?!" He Han grabbed his arm, trying to stop him from hitting He Guang.

He Yao raised his hand and pushed hard, knocking He Han to the ground.

"You're no better! You want me to change your password just for using your Weibo account? What, isn't it time for you to beg me to let you ride on my coattails when I become famous?!"

Hearing his words, He Han burst into tears. "How could you say that to me?! I've been scolded so much because of you today, and you still say that to me!"

"Did I say something wrong?" He Yao roared.

"Let me go." He Guang struggled to push him off him.

He Yao turned around and threw a punch to keep him quiet.

He Guang had been beaten for so long that he was also getting angry, and he started to fight back.

For a time, the sounds of fighting and crying filled the air.

Mother He looked at her two sons fighting, and then at her daughter who was crying with her head down.

What exactly happened?

How could the He family have fallen into such a state?!

Unlike the chaotic and disintegrating state of the He family.

Ye Qingxi was having dinner with Mu Shaowu, Mu Shaoting, Mu Shaoyan, and Mu Feng at that moment.

Mu Feng didn't pay attention to the online disputes—people his age don't use social media platforms like Weibo, nor do they care, so he naturally didn't know what kind of chain reaction his decision to have He Yao withdraw and have the company sideline He Yao had caused online.

Although Mu Shaowu and the others knew, they tacitly kept it from Mu Feng and Mu Zheng, who also didn't use Weibo.

Therefore, at this moment, Mu Zheng was unaware of all of this.

After finishing her meal in a pleasant atmosphere, Ye Qingxi returned to her room, went online, and discovered that netizens were still criticizing He Yao.

He Yao remained silent and did not post any new Weibo posts.

Did He Han take back her account?

Surely He Yao couldn't have suddenly realized his mistake and fallen silent because of a change of heart, could he?

Mu Shaowu was also surprised. He thought He Yao would post the photos of himself being beaten online for public judgment, but he didn't!

What's going on?

He Yao, who was on the minds of Ye Qingxi and Mu Shaowu, had finished his battle and was sitting alone in his room, feeling dejected.

Although He Guang couldn't beat Mu Shaoyan, he could still inflict considerable damage on He Yao, who was also not good at fighting.

He Yao looked at his bruised and swollen face in the mirror and found it ridiculous.

Now, this face bears not only the marks left by Mu Shaowu's younger brother, but also the marks left by his younger brother.

At that moment, he felt a deep sadness.

Netizens criticized him, his sister didn't understand him, and his brother punched him.

The grievances and sadness in He Yao's heart surged wildly at this moment, and his tears silently slid down his bruised face.

Just then, his cell phone rang.

He Yao looked at the caller ID, and a glimmer of hope unconsciously welled up in his eyes.

He quickly answered the call.

The voice on the other end said cheerfully, "I'm back. Do you have time tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner."

He Yao was too embarrassed to meet someone who clearly had feelings for him with his current appearance, so he refused, saying, "Not today, I'm in trouble."

"What trouble?"

Hearing his concerned words, He Yao felt as if he had grasped at the last straw. "Brother Qiu, I...I...I've been set up!"
