Chapter 9: Conflict

Ye Xuan and Su Mengli became desk mates today. Taking a few pictures should be easy, right? He took out his phone and showed it to Ye Xue.

Ye Xue praised, “Little brother, you have good taste. You found a girl even prettier than your sister!”

Ye Xuan didn’t deny it. “Yeah, it’s a pity that her life isn’t going well. Her parents divorced, and yesterday when I walked her home, her mother was fooling around with her lover in the room without any restraint. She didn’t even want to go back home at that time. That’s why I suggested she stay at your place.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xue furrowed her brows and asked, “Is what you’re saying true? Is there no exaggeration?”

Ye Xuan confirmed, “Of course, I was right there beside them and heard everything clearly!”

Ye Xue stood up directly and said, “Let’s go. Take me to your girlfriend’s house.”

Ye Xuan was taken aback. “Go to Su Mengli’s house? Why?”

“No time to explain now. We’ll talk on the way!”

Saying that, Ye Xue swiftly walked out of the room. It took Ye Xuan a few seconds to catch up.

In the car, Ye Xuan asked, “Sis, can you explain now?”

Ye Xue calmly said, “You tell me, does your girlfriend Su Mengli’s mother not know when her daughter finishes school?”

“Of course she knows,” Ye Xuan affirmed.

Ye Xue nodded and said, “Exactly! She knows the timing but still did what she did. What mother would have such unique sexual preferences?”

Ye Xuan shook his head. “Probably none!”

With certainty in her voice, Ye Xue continued, “That’s right! None. So who made her do this? It must be her lover. I’m a lawyer and have studied criminal psychology. Su Mengli’s mother’s lover intentionally caused such a commotion when Su Mengli came home for one reason only: he has intentions towards Su Mengli. Moreover, the reason he got involved with Su Mengli’s mother was to control her and ultimately get to Su Mengli. I’ve seen several cases like this before, where stepfathers or future stepfathers violate their daughters. Your girlfriend’s case is very typical. Even though it hasn’t happened yet, I can guarantee that there is a trend. As the future sister-in-law, I must protect our future little sister!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan angrily cursed, “Damn! How can there be such a man? Doesn’t her mother know about this?”

Ye Xue replied, “Of course she knows, and if my guess is correct, she probably compromised. This kind of person doesn’t deserve to be a mother.”

Ye Xue truly lived up to being a top lawyer in Jiangcheng. She saw through people very clearly. Although Ye Xuan had been reborn, he couldn’t see through things as clearly as Ye Xue.

Ye Xuan said directly, “Since that’s the case, let Mengli stay at your place then. It’s better not to go back to that home anymore. By the way, drive faster; I’m afraid something might happen to Mengli if we’re late.”

Helpless, Ye Xue said, “Little brother, take a look at the speedometer. Your sister is already driving at 120 miles per hour; any faster and we’ll take off!”

At Su Mengli’s house, Su Mengli was sitting with Zhang Xiulan and Zhong Hai.

Zhong Hai was Zhang Xiulan’s lover—around thirty years old with a tall and lean figure. He had a square inch of blue beard on his chin, giving off a shrewd vibe.

Zhang Xiulan said, “Mengli, this is your Uncle Zhong. From now on, we’ll live together.”

Upon hearing Zhang Xiulan’s words, Zhong Hai directly said, “Uncle Zhong? Just call me Dad from now on!”

Zhong Hai looked at Su Mengli’s perfect face and her exquisite figure. He secretly swallowed his saliva. If he could have her, such a perfect beauty who would even call him daddy in bed, then it would be worth it in this lifetime!

Su Mengli stood up upon hearing this and put down the bowl and chopsticks in front of her. She said, “I’ve lost my appetite. You guys eat.”

Zhong Hai saw this and immediately grabbed Su Mengli’s arm and said, “Iron is iron and rice is steel; how can you not eat? Should Daddy feed you?”

Su Mengli’s expression changed as she shouted loudly, “Don’t touch me!”

She tried to shake off Zhong Hai’s arm with her hand raised but couldn’t because Zhong Hai was much stronger than her. Instead, Zhong Hai exerted force with his hand and pulled Su Mengli towards him, wanting to embrace her.

Su Mengli sensed Zhong Hai’s intentions and felt extremely embarrassed.

She directly picked up the bowl of porridge in front of her and threw it at Zhong Hai.

Zhong Hai blocked it with his arm, but the hot porridge splashed all over him. He let out a painful cry and cursed, “You bitch! Are you looking for death?”

At that moment, the door of Su’s house suddenly burst open. Then Ye Xuan and Ye Xue rushed in.

Zhang Xiulan looked at the siblings and scolded them saying, “What are you doing in my house? You’re trespassing, you know. Do you believe I’ll call the police?”

Hearing this, Ye Xue laughed and said, “You? Talking about the law with me? You must be Mengli, right? I’m Ye Xuan’s sister. I heard you’ve encountered some trouble. Come with me; stay at my place for the night.”

Su Mengli had also calmed down by now. She hadn’t expected her mother’s lover to go crazy and lay hands on her. She didn’t want to stay in this home for even a minute longer!

However, at this moment, Zhong Hai wiped off the porridge from his body and said, “Leave? This is her home; she can’t leave anywhere!”

Ye Xue took out her business card from her pocket and said, “I’m the founder of LuoXue Law Firm. If I say she can leave, do you have any objections? Feel free to sue me anytime!”

Upon hearing this, Zhong Hai became furious and threw a punch towards Ye Xue while shouting, “Sue you? I’ll beat you to death!”

Zhong Hai’s fist didn’t land on Ye Xue as Ye Xuan wasn’t just a decoration.

He reached out and caught Zhong Hai’s arm before delivering a punch directly to Zhong Hai’s abdomen.

Zhong Hai was a fitness coach with strong muscles. He was much stronger than the high school students Ye Xuan had dealt with before. So Ye Xuan’s punch didn’t have an obvious effect.

On the contrary, Zhong Hai roared in anger and grabbed onto Ye Xuan’s clothes before pushing him forcefully. As a result, Ye Xuan hit the dining table in the living room with his back.

The pain in his back didn’t make Ye Xuan lose his composure; instead, it made him even more calm. He spread his legs, lowered his center of gravity, and exerted force with both arms.

Then, Zhong Hai was thrown over Ye Xuan’s shoulder and lifted off the ground before crashing heavily onto the dining table. The wooden table shattered upon impact, and Zhong Hai felt intense pain as he rolled on the ground.
