Chapter 176 Damaged Skin
Du Yuanhua looked at Guan Yi'an and continued.
"In my opinion, the crime you committed deserves ten or eight years in prison. But my cousin doesn't want to stoop to your level, so I'll let you off this time. Now get out of here, get out of the Du residence, get out of Jiangnan."
"Ha!" Guan Yi'an heard this and knew that leaving the Du residence was no longer an option. Thinking of the growing baby in Meng Lingge's womb and his helplessness, he couldn't help but sneer.
"In the end, both Young Master Du and I admire Miss Meng and used every means to win her heart. I gave her an abortion drug. Young Master Du is now driving me away for Miss Meng's sake. How much more noble can he be than me in the future? When a woman is pregnant, her heart naturally belongs to the father of the child. As long as Miss Meng's child is not removed, she will never accept another man."
"However, after I leave, Miss Meng will only have Young Master Du as her only excellent suitor. Being close to the water tower, she will have the first chance to get the moon. If Miss Meng were to have another miscarriage at this time, Young Master Du would take good care of her, and he would naturally be able to win the beauty's heart."
Even if he leaves, he won't let Meng Lingge have an easy time.
He wanted to plant a seed of jealousy and evil in Du Yuanhua's heart, so that Du Yuanhua would do for him what he had failed to accomplish.
He was a seasoned player in matters of the heart, and naturally he had long seen that Du Yuanhua's concern for Meng Lingge far exceeded that of a normal cousin relationship.
In his eyes, no normal man could tolerate the woman he loved being pregnant with another man's child. Especially a successful and shrewd businessman like Du Yuanhua.
No matter how righteous they appear now, they must have many hidden thoughts. The reason they haven't taken action is simply because they are too cautious, afraid of being discovered and causing unforeseen consequences.
If he could reduce Du Yuanhua's concerns, he would not be able to restrain himself.
After hearing what he said, Du Yuanhua was indeed furious, as if his secret had been discovered.
"What did you say?"
Seeing his reaction, Guan Yi'an's smile deepened.
“Young Master Du is different from me. Miss Meng has never trusted me, but she trusts you. Besides, she is now on your turf. It would be extremely easy for you to do something without leaving a trace.”
“We’re all men. With a family background like Miss Meng’s, whether you’re a merchant like me or a scholar hoping to make a name for yourself, marrying her would be a huge help. Otherwise, there are plenty of unmarried young women out there, why would you and I go to such lengths to pursue a divorced woman?”
"I have no chance now, but Young Master Du has a very high chance of winning. I am grateful for Brother Du's care these past few days. I have nothing to offer in return, so I wish Brother Du all the best in achieving his dreams and wishes."
He thought he had struck a chord with Du Yuanhua, and smiled faintly. After speaking freely without any pause, he looked up again to find Du Yuanhua's face terrifyingly dark.
Du Yuanhua said, word by word, "So this is what you really think."
Du Yuanhua is shrewd and capable in business, but he is also an upright person who rarely gets angry in front of others and never bullies the weak.
But at this moment, he was so angry at Guan Yi'an's shamelessness that his face showed a rare gloom.
The person he cherished so dearly was being used by this guy as a stepping stone to rapid advancement, and this guy even implied in his words that he belonged to the same category of people.
Du Yuanhua clenched his fist and punched Guan Yi'an in the face.
"Your wish can come true right now. What I want to do most right now is to beat you to death, you insidious scoundrel, you bastard! You dared to scheme against my cousin! You dared to be so arrogant! You dared to judge others by your own petty standards!"
He would punch Guan Yi'an with every word he spoke, leaving Guan Yi'an powerless to fight back.
Although Du Yuanhua used all his strength, he had never learned martial arts and his strength was limited. If he had hit other men, it would have only caused them physical pain.
But Guan Yi'an is different; his face is a completely different layer of skin.
Although Mr. Fu's face-changing technique is unparalleled, a face transplant is still a face transplant and cannot be as durable as the original face.
Guan Yi'an usually experiences a sharp pain when washing her face with too much force, so how could she withstand a full-force punch from an adult man?
The moment Du Yuanhua's fist slammed into his face, he felt his nose and lips dislocated. Overwhelmed by the excruciating pain, he immediately turned away, letting Du Yuanhua deliver the remaining punches to his back.
Guan Yi'an gently wiped his face, only to find his hand covered in blood. This terrified him; he was counting on this new face to make a name for himself again, and he couldn't let it all be wasted here.
"It was my fault, I'll leave right away, I'll leave now..." Guan Yi'an covered her face with her hands, bent over, and stumbled as she fled out the door.
Du Yuanhua was still angry that the arrogant man had been subdued by him with just a few punches.
He wanted to chase after her and continue beating her, but he unexpectedly discovered a trail of blood where Guan Yi'an had walked.
Du Yuanhua stared at his hands in disbelief. When did he become so strong that he could inflict internal injuries on someone with just a few blows?
In that moment of distraction, when I looked up again, I saw that Guan Yi'an had already run off for quite some time, without even packing his things.
"Don't let me see you again, or I'll beat you every time I see you!"
After calling out to Guan Yi'an's retreating figure, Du Yuanhua summoned a servant and gave him instructions.
"Put away Young Master Zheng's things and throw them at him. Also, have someone draw a portrait of him and give it to the managers of each shop, telling them that I want this man to be unable to make a living in Jiangnan."
The servant obeyed and quickly packed the things, then chased after him outside.
When she returned, she was still a little shaken. Looking at Du Yuanhua, she said, "Young Master, you slapped Young Master Zheng's face off. His face was covered in blood, and I saw that a piece of skin had been torn off."
A piece of skin has been peeled off?
Du Yuanhua raised his hands again in confusion. It was strange. He was clearly using his fists, without even fingernails, so how could he have made the person bleed and have their skin peel off?
Did he suddenly turn into an iron-handed monster, or is Zheng Qingshan's face made of paper?
He was truly perplexed until he figured this out.
Now that Zheng Qingshan has run away, I can only try my fists.
Thinking of this, Du Yuanhua clenched his fists and slammed them hard against the nanmu wood table beside him.
The next instant, he was in so much pain that he clutched his hand and jumped three feet high on the ground.
The servant beside him was startled and exclaimed in panic, "Young Master, your hand is bleeding! I'll go find a doctor!"
Even after injuring himself, Du Yuanhua still couldn't understand why his punch to Guan Yi'an had caused him to bleed and break his skin.
Guan Yi'an fled the Du residence in one breath, only to be caught up by a servant at the gate. As he picked up his belongings, he still couldn't understand why Du Yuanhua had suddenly attacked him.
Was she angry and embarrassed that her secret was exposed, or did she disagree with what he said?
However, whatever the reason, he deeply regretted it.
He was just complaining a bit because he was unwilling to be driven away. He originally thought that Du Yuanhua was a refined and gentle person who would at most scold and drive him away. Who knew that this person would suddenly turn into a dog and pounce on him and beat him up. Now his face is broken and his trip to Jiangnan can be described as a complete failure.
Guan Yi'an was extremely angry and annoyed when he suddenly heard a faint girl's voice behind him.
"Brother Zheng, what's wrong?"
