Transmigrated as the fake young master, I'll beat up the scumbags and b*tches

Kang Xin's words were shocking, but after she had spoken so firmly, the others found it difficult to persuade her further.

Han ShuYi's expression darkened, unable to understand why Kang Xin could be so unwavering.

In his mind, HuMing had merely saved her life, and after so many years of taking care of him, she had already repaid that debt. Why was she still so stubborn?

Han ShuYi couldn't understand, and perhaps he never would.

Kang Xin bowed slightly to them before turning to leave. Meanwhile, Zhou WenLi frowned; she didn't like Kang Xin's attitude.

They offered her a chance to improve herself, and she rejected their kindness! Zhou WenLi shook her head in discontent.

"Look at her, so short-sighted! So many people would jump at the opportunity, but she doesn't know how to appreciate it!"

"Everyone has their own choices. If this is hers, then let her be," Han LiTian said, though he, too, felt a tinge of pity. But it was Kang Xin's decision, and no one could interfere.

Silence fell in the hall.

At the same time, just as Kang Xin turned the corner, she ran into someone.

Not knowing when HuMing was standing there. His arms were crossed, his gaze fixed on the girl before him, his face devoid of emotion. Even Kang Xin couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Moonlight filtered through the windows, breaking into fragments on the floor.

They stared at each other, waiting for the other to speak first.

Kang Xin blinked, about to say something, when HuMing broke the silence first.

"Kang Xin, why didn't you agree just now?"

"...Because I didn't want to."

She spoke her mind honestly. She didn't want to accept Han ShuYi's goodwill.

In fact, after thinking it through, she realized that Han ShuYi most likely had ulterior motives, likely trying to use her as leverage against HuMing.

She couldn't accept such an approach.

HuMing reached out and ruffled her hair. For some reason, messing with this girl's head felt quite nice.

"Are you hungry?"

"A little."

"I'll take you out for some barbecue."

Kang Xin looked at the boy before her, taking in the relaxed way he carried himself. At that moment, she suddenly realized she had done something through her own will.

It seemed she was undergoing subtle changes, too.

And the person who made all of this possible was none other than HuMing.

"Young Master!"

It was the first time Kang Xin called out to him, and HuMing stopped, turning back with a puzzled expression.

Taking a deep breath, she cleared her mind, her cherry lips parting slightly as she said.

 "I will help Young Master get anything you want!"

Upon hearing Kang Xin's slightly chuni declaration, HuMing was taken aback for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"It's not that serious. They also said something true: You have your own life, and your world can't revolve around me forever, right? But before that, you should try smiling."

HuMing stretched the corners of his mouth, forcing a grin as if trying to make Kang Xin smile.

Yet, he knew all too well that getting a smile from this maid of his, a human fighting machine, was as challenging as Mars colliding with Earth.

"My life?"

Kang Xin echoed the words, only quickly, and she lifted her gaze to meet his.

She gently brushed her dark hair aside, revealing her exquisitely beautiful face once more.

Everything around them seemed to fade into the background, and HuMing's mouth fell slightly open, his eyes filled with astonishment.

In front of him, the girl smiled like a summer flower blooming.

...

For several days, Yu YueLuo had been feeling restless. Ever since the last incident, she kept feeling that something was off.

She distinctly remembered closing the balcony door, so why had it suddenly been opened?

Dressed in her pajamas, she lay in bed while Lee Tian slept soundly beside her, snoring.

Yu YueLuo silently looked at the man beside her; their marriage had long since become a mere formality.

Now, they were living together but dreaming different dreams.

If it hadn't been for the alliance between their families, they would have divorced long ago, especially after the recent scandal involving Lee Tian.

However, Lee Tian's only redeeming quality was his ability to make money, and over the years, he had provided her with a lot of money that she was more than willing to spend.

But deep within Yu YueLuo, she hides a big secret: her daughter, Li Yue, was not Lee Tian's biological child!

She had given birth to her after an affair with another man shortly after marrying Lee Tian.

Fortunately, Lee Tian had never discovered this truth.

It was why she dared to continue engaging in those bold escapades.

That lover was a man she had known for quite some time; their body chemistry had led to a prolonged relationship.

However, as they became bolder with each encounter, the frequency of their meetings increased, causing Yu YueLuo to worry.

Gazing out at the moonlight, she was about to close her eyes and rest.

Suddenly, her phone, which lay on the table, vibrated gently. Instinctively, she picked it up to take a look.

There was an anonymous message, but as soon as she opened it, her heart seemed to stop, and her breath caught in her throat!

Panicked, she shut off the screen and turned to look at Lee Tian.

Lee Tian did not wake up, still sleeping.

Yu YueLuo's fingers trembled, her jaw quivering as well. She swiped the screen open again, and there it was, a photo of her and her lover, caught in the throes of passion at the hotel!

The angle of the photo was perfect; it was likely just one of many.

She felt a wave of panic wash over her; she knew something had definitely been off that day!

But who would do such a thing? What could their purpose be?

Yu YueLuo swallowed hard and then replied to the message.

[Who are you? What do you want?]

She quietly switched her phone to silent, anxious that any noise might wake Lee Tian.

The response came swiftly.

[Madam, your interests are truly eye-opening. I have a few hours of video here. Would you like to enjoy your own work?]

The sender's tone was flippant, sending a tremor of anger through Yu YueLuo.

But she knew she couldn't let the image of a good wife she had maintained for so many years be destroyed!

There had to be a reason for this person's actions. If they wanted money, she would give it to them!

Quickly resolving herself, Yu YueLuo continued typing on the keyboard.

[What do you want? As long as you destroy the videos and photos, I can agree to anything!]

[Anything? Then let's meet tomorrow. The location will be this cafe.]

The sender provided an address, and Yu YueLuo clutched her phone tightly as if it were her lifeline.
