Chapter 2 My Nephew, a year ago. It seems that in every class...
One year ago.
It seems that every class has an arrogant and annoying student who likes to play pranks and doesn't do well in school, but happens to come from a wealthy family, so no one can do anything about her.
This student is Yu Tang.
Yu Tang, seventeen years old.
Anyone who sees Yu Tang will immediately think – what an exquisite and beautiful girl, like a porcelain doll in a display case.
However, Yu Tang's good looks are directly proportional to her unruly personality.
If you lower your guard against Yu Tang because of her exquisite appearance, you'll be the one who suffers.
Almost all the students in the class had fallen into Yu Tang's trap. The girls had their braids pulled, and the boys had been hit by the blackboard eraser that was stuck in the door crack.
After being pranked so many times, the students had finally had their fill of being tricked by Yu Tang and would never believe her lies again. So now they would no longer be fooled by her.
Yu Tang watched as the blackboard eraser fell to the ground; the carefully prepared trap hadn't scared anyone. Yu Tang pouted and scoffed, "This is so boring! You guys aren't fun at all!"
The students all treated Yu Tang like she didn't exist.
If you can't afford to offend them, can't you at least avoid them? Anyway, Yu Tang doesn't have a single friend in her class.
No wonder he has no friends.
However, the new students who have just transferred to the class are in for a rough time.
Yu Tang's appearance was deceptive; her misty eyes looked innocent, her eyelashes fluttered, and her fair face wore a bright smile as she kindly shared candy with the new classmates.
"Your name is Mo Fei, right? My name is Yu Tang. How about we become best friends?" Yu Tang's voice was melodious and captivating.
Mo Fei had just arrived at her new class and didn't know most of her classmates, so she didn't have many friends. When Yu Tang took the initiative to befriend her, the lonely Mo Fei was naturally willing to do so!
"Okay!" In exchange, Mo Fei also shared the small cakes she brought with Yu Tang.
Two girls becoming friends is essentially a matter of exchanging snacks.
Yu Tang raised an eyebrow, propped her chin up, and leaned closer, her small mouth, smeared with cream, smacking incessantly: "As best friends, can you tell me what the name of the boy you like is?"
"Why are you asking this..." Mo Fei lowered her head shyly. Although she had only been in the class for a short time, she had a good impression of the class monitor who had always helped her.
The class monitor speaks softly and gently, is fair-skinned and sunny, very kind, always willing to help others, and is also the tallest boy in the class.
“What’s wrong with saying this? I’ll tell you then, I like…” Yu Tang casually mentioned a name from the seating chart, not noticing the stunned boy standing at the door.
"Then... if I tell you, will you keep it a secret?" Mo Fei felt it would be insincere of her to keep it a secret from Yu Tang, who had spoken so frankly.
"You still don't trust me? We're best friends, you know. If I tell anyone, I'll give you ten thousand yuan. Isn't that enough?"
Since Yu Tang had said so, Mo Fei couldn't be coy or pretentious, otherwise she would be letting Yu Tang down. Besides, what high school student could come up with 10,000 yuan?
She leaned closer, her face flushed with shyness, and whispered, "I like it..."
As soon as Mo Fei finished speaking, Yu Tang had already run up to the podium.
"Everyone, listen to me quietly," Yu Tang banged on the blackboard and shouted, "Mo Fei likes the class monitor!"
Mo Fei likes the class monitor.
Yu Tang's clear, crisp voice seemed like a bewitching melody, echoing in Mo Fei's ears.
The class monitor, carrying the test papers to be distributed, entered the classroom just then. His clothes were disheveled by the wind. He glanced at Mo Fei and Yu Tang, looked back and forth a couple of times, and then decisively went back out and closed the door, pretending nothing had happened.
The classroom fell silent, except for the sound of Mo Fei's heart breaking, which no one paid any attention to.
Yu Tang casually took out a wad of cash from her black backpack, counted out ten bills, and said, "This is ten thousand yuan."
The money landed on Mo Fei's palm with a "thud," and Mo Fei's brain was already in a state of shutdown. She didn't even have time to react. From making good friends, to sharing secrets, to the breakdown of their friendship, it was all over in just one break between classes, less than ten minutes.
What exactly happened in those ten minutes?
Mo Fei felt neither sad nor happy. Fortunately, her classmates didn't pay much attention to Yu Tang's pranks and instead cast sympathetic glances at Mo Fei.
Yu Tang sat back down in her window seat, her black hair fluttering in the wind, making her skin appear even whiter and more delicate than snow. When quiet, Yu Tang was the epitome of a bright and innocent young girl. Unfortunately, her pretty face was filled with a smug and sarcastic expression of triumph.
Faced with Yu Tang's unrestrained mockery, resentment quietly grew in Mo Fei's heart.
The only fun Mo Fei brought to Yu Tang was during that one break between classes. During class, she would start yawning out of boredom, gazing at the crabapple tree outside the window until her vision gradually blurred.
"Yu Tang... Yu Tang!" The teacher knocked on the desk, waking Yu Tang from her sleep.
Yu Tang naturally couldn't answer the teacher's question, and none of her classmates were willing to tell her the answer.
Every time get out of class ends, the homeroom teacher has a headache, with an endless stream of "cases" to solve.
"Teacher, Yu Tang pulled my braid."
"Teacher, Yu Tang threw the gun on my desk."
"......"
Yu Tang has a very reassuring quality that makes her classmates feel at ease: she never complains to the teacher, because it's always her classmates who complain about her.
Anyway, all those broken windows, damaged chairs, broken erasers... countless "cases" at the school where no one could find the "culprit" were all assumed to be done by Yu Tang.
Anyway, Yu Tang didn't care about any of that. She just wanted to be called to the parents' house and then taken home by her brother.
But her brother was very busy, flying around every day for the family business, so she rarely saw him.
There is only one exception: she will definitely see her brother when he is called to the parents' house.
At these times, she would almost always see her busy brother, Yu Yanting.
Yu Yanting is almost thirty years older than Yu Tang, forty-five this year, and is her half-brother. Although called her brother, he's practically like a father, since Yu Tang's father passed away while she was still in her mother Chen Wangshu's womb. Yu Tang was only seven years old when her mother died, so her memories of her parents are not vivid; she only knows that from the time she can remember, this older brother has been with her, watching her grow up.
The eldest brother is like a father, a sentiment perfectly embodied in her and Yu Yanting.
Although Yu Tang was still young, she was not completely unaware of the business her brother Yu Yanting was involved in. On the surface, the family was in the candy business, but Yu Tang knew that beneath the layers of candy in the shipping container lay dark and cold weapons.
She simply chose to ignore these things, ignoring the fact that her brother's business was not a good one. After all, her brother was her only close and most relied-upon relative, so she wholeheartedly supported him.
Meanwhile, in the classroom, Yu Tang, unaware that she had been reported, was holding a gun, standing on the table, and mimicking the way her classmate who had been frightened earlier was laughing arrogantly and acting very cocky.
Someone kicked the corner of the table, and Yu Tang lost her footing, falling face-first to the ground. A bloody scratch immediately appeared on her delicate face, standing out starkly against her porcelain-white skin. Her lip was also scraped and bleeding, making her look utterly innocent and pitiful.
Clearly, no one in the class felt sorry for Yu Tang.
Yu Tang hadn't cried yet, but when she took out her phone and dialed a number, Yu Yanting's gentle and caring voice came through the phone, and Yu Tang started to wail.
"Brother, it hurts so much, my tooth hurts so much, come and take me home, I don't want to go to school anymore..." Yu Tang's speech was slurred, and with her crying, her words were broken and disjointed, making her look both pathetic and funny.
Yu Tang cried so much that her tears soaked her hair and stuck to the sides of her face.
Since it was all his own fault, the classmates didn't have much sympathy for the injured Yu Tang.
An hour later, the black Bentley appeared at the school gate.
Yu Tang was about the same height as the corridor railing, and could piece together the figure of the man at the school gate through the gaps in the white porcelain pillars.
She ran very fast, the shadow of the pillar receding rapidly, until the man in the black suit was fully visible at the end of the path. When she reached him from behind, Yu Tang slowed her pace.
Yu Tang had caused trouble after all, so she lacked confidence and hung her head, clutching his sleeve.
The figure being led paused, then caught a whiff of the sweet scent of candy.
"Brother, I was wrong..." Yu Tang admitted her mistake first, knowing that if she acted cute, her brother would definitely not pursue the matter.
The man turned his head upon hearing this, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment before he suddenly smiled. When did that crybaby grow so tall?
.
“Little aunt,” he said lazily, rolling up his sleeves to cover the bloodstains on the fabric, “what are you calling me? Don’t mess up the seniority.”
Yu Tang's eyes were still brimming with tears, and the water droplets on her eyelashes blurred her vision for a moment. The scratches on her delicate face were itchy and painful from being soaked in salty tears. She wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and looked up at the person she was holding hands with.
The person opposite was very tall, casting a shadow that covered Yu Tang's face, so Yu Tang had to crane her neck to see the person in front of her.
The man's black shirt collar was casually unbuttoned, revealing a section of his collarbone and a silver necklace. The pendant was hidden in the shadow of the fabric, occasionally flashing a cold light with each breath.
The dappled shade of the trees obscured his features, but the exquisitely beautiful curve of his jawline was faintly visible. As a breeze rustled the flowering trees, the soft sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell upon his face, making him appear pure and beautiful, like a holy god.
At this moment, Yu Tang finally saw his face clearly, and all the memories related to him flooded her mind.
Yes, there is only one person in the world who calls her "Little Aunt".
That was his brother Yu Yanting's only child.
“Yu, Chaoxian?” Yu Tang finally retrieved the name from her memory. This person who only came back during festivals was her...nephew.
Her nephew, who is eight years older than her.
Even long afterward, when Yu Tang recalled her encounter with Yu Chaoxian, she would still marvel at his exceptionally handsome appearance. Undeniably, Yu Chaoxian's good looks were deceptively charming. At that time, a faint smile always played on his lips, causing her to lower her guard without realizing that beneath the man's refined facade lay a beast.
