Chapter One: I Bankrupted My Nemesis



As soon as she opened her eyes, Yu Wan felt pain in her body, which made her groan involuntarily.

"You're awake?"

A deep voice sounded in her ear, and Yu Wan raised her eyelids, just in time to meet those clear and beautiful peach blossom eyes.

Startled.

"Tang Yue!" Yu Wan's eyes widened.

The man in front of her was wearing only black, and his long, slender fingers with distinct knuckles picked up a crumpled black casual trouser from the ground and slowly put it on.

With a slender waist and firm abdominal muscles, his beautiful figure is on full display.

She stared at him, mesmerized for a moment.

Just then, a teasing voice suddenly rang out: "Satisfied?"

That voice was melodious, deep and mellow, it was extremely pleasant to listen to.

"Heh." Yu Wan scoffed, habitually retorting, "With your pathetic figure, even a pig is better than you."

Tang Yue smiled, his already captivating peach blossom eyes shining even brighter. He deliberately emphasized the last four words, softening his tone. At first glance, it sounded gentle and tender.

Yu Wan was startled.

She and Tang Yue were longtime rivals, and she had been bullied by him for over a decade.

Finally, thanks to her series of cunning maneuvers, the Tang Group declared bankruptcy yesterday. Her long-cherished wish fulfilled, Tang Yue was invited to a celebratory banquet by her cronies, who, in an effort to curry favor with her, brought her into the drinking party.

Yu Wan humiliated him severely in front of everyone, and in her excitement, she accidentally drank a glass of wine.

Yu Wan, who gets drunk after just one drink, and Tang Yue, who is half-drunk, are both there to help him realize his boastful ambition, which he made intentionally to show off:

"So that he'll never be able to hold his head up high again."

This truly proved the saying: showing off is fun for a moment, but it leads to disaster afterwards!

After a few seconds of stunned silence.

"...Holy crap!"

With veins throbbing on her forehead, Yu Wan immediately pulled the blanket up and wrapped herself tightly in it!

She soon realized a more serious problem.

Now, not only do the two of them know about this, but even their group of cronies are fully aware of it.

Perhaps soon, it will spread throughout the upper class and reach the ears of the Yu family.

She'll definitely be beaten to death by her doting father!

"You remember now?" A smile flashed across Tang Yue's eyes as he watched her expressions change several times, but he quickly concealed it, leaving only a mischievous look.

He suddenly walked towards the bedside, his aura imposing.

"What are you doing? Don't come any closer, or I'll call for help." Yu Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she shrank back warily.

Tang Yue stared at her intently, leaning against the edge of the bed with one hand, and moved closer, magnifying her handsome face.

Yu Wan's breathing quickened involuntarily. She gripped the pillow beside her tightly, about to throw it, when the other person got up and calmly picked up the white shirt from the bedside table.

He calmly buttoned up his shirt, his fingers long and slender with distinct knuckles.

Yu Wan: ...

that's all?

I was just teasing her!

Yu Wan clenched her fingers tightly, as if to vent the anger in her chest, or perhaps to crush someone's handsome face.

"Ding-dong—"

The doorbell rang abruptly.

Yu Wan looked over warily and fearfully, like a small animal with its fur standing on end, her mind racing with a thousand different scenarios!

Tang Yue strode over and deftly opened the door.

The person who came was a hotel waiter. After putting down the breakfast on a cart, he left without looking at anyone else.

Yu Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Yue leaned against the bedroom door, raised an eyebrow, and parted his thin lips slightly: "I don't know what you like, Chinese or Western, I ordered one of each."

His words were very considerate and thoughtful, just like his persona as a gentle and refined young master of the Tang family in Jiangcheng.

Yu Wan: ...

At a time like this, this guy still has the nerve to order room service!

She was so angry she almost had a heart attack.

"By the way, the meal will be charged separately, but I don't have any money." Tang Yue shrugged and stated matter-of-factly, "After all, I'm bankrupt."

Yu Wan: ...

I have a bad feeling.

"So, don't forget to check out later," Tang Yue said sincerely.

Yu Wan: ...

Okay.

You think you're right just because you're bankrupt... my foot!

She must have owed him something in her past life.

Yu Wan took a few deep breaths and threatened fiercely, "From now on, we're even. Also, you better keep this to yourself, or I have plenty of ways to make sure you can't stay in Jiangcheng."

Upon hearing the words "no debts owed," Tang Yue's eyes flickered slightly. He calmly raised his eyes, smiled, nodded, and replied with a "Okay."

Yu Wan's heart was filled with doubts, and a sense of unease gradually welled up within her. When did he become so easy to talk to? Was he up to something again?

"Oh, by the way, I'll send you my bank account number later." Tang Yue smiled, his eyes crinkling. "You'll have to give me a tip. Surely Miss Yu wouldn't renege on her debt?"

Yu Wan's expression cracked instantly.

-

Yu Wan walked out of the hotel with a stiff face, her demeanor both strong and extremely unnatural. Even after getting into the car, her mind remained foggy.

The ride-hailing driver hesitated several times before finally asking, "Miss, should we call the police?" after getting out of the car.

Yu Wan shook her head, puzzled.

The driver looked pained and indignant, and finally instructed, "When you get back, remember to tell your parents what happened. Don't let those scumbags get away with it."

Yu Wan was completely confused.

After she got out of the car and entered the residential area, she noticed that everyone was looking at her with complicated expressions.

With a sudden jolt, Yu Wan rushed into the bathroom as soon as she got back to her apartment and was startled.

Holy crap.

This time, they really lost both their wife and their army.

Yu Wan rubbed her throbbing temples, ran the bathwater, and lay down in the tub. Surrounded by the warm water, she felt much more relaxed.

call!

Yu Wan exhaled a strong breath, clenched her fists, and tried to convince herself that it was the 21st century.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She slapped the water's surface forcefully, splashing water everywhere.

That's not humiliating him.

for a long time.

The bathroom returned to silence.

Yu Wan picked up her phone to scroll through Weibo to pass the time, only to find that the Tang family dominated the trending topics.

#Tang's Group officially declares bankruptcy, with debts of one billion#

#Bankruptcy CEO Tang Yue#

#Tang Yue is like an elegant nobleman straight out of a fairy tale#

#Tang family goes bankrupt, Yu family profits#

Buzz—

My phone suddenly vibrated, and a WeChat message popped up on my screen.

The person labeled "Tang Gou" simply sent a string of numbers, which was a bank card number.

She shuddered, and her phone slipped and fell into the bathtub with a "plop".

The scene that happened this morning kept replaying in my mind.

"Tang Yue!"

Yu Wan's phoenix eyes blazed with fury, and she nearly ground her teeth to powder.
