Chapter 421: Are You Chen Yu?

"That's for the best, go." Hong Chenggang said, hanging up the phone directly.

Fang Li put down her phone. The look she gave Chen Yu already held a trace of fear. She tremblingly set the phone in her hand down, then bowed in terror: "I'm sorry."

"Be more sincere. Don't apologize to me, apologize to her." Chen Yu pointed at Yu Sichen.

"This young lady, everything just now was my fault. I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please, spare me." Fang Li cried aggrievedly.

"Chen Yu, forget it. They've already been punished." Seeing her looking so pitiful, Yu Sichen couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy.

"Kneel here and slap yourself. You can leave after midnight." Chen Yu said indifferently.

"I've already apologized, why won't you let me go?" Fang Li looked up and said with some resentment: "What exactly do you want?"

"Didn't your uncle warn you just now?" Chen Yu looked at her in surprise. Is this woman so used to being arrogant that the beating he gave her wasn't enough?

"But, but there's no need for you to be like this." Fang Li cried.

"You don't have to do it, but you'll bear the consequences yourself. Remember, my name is Chen Yu." Chen Yu said grimly.

"Ch-Chen Yu?" Fang Li looked up in horror: "You, you and the Yu Family..."

"That's right, it's me. If you know that young lady from the Yu Family, you'd know how miserable her end was." Chen Yu glanced at her with surprise.

He never imagined that reporting his own name would actually be useful. Does he have such a notorious reputation now? If he had known this earlier, he would have reported his name long ago; would he have needed to waste so much breath on her?

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I'll do as you say. Don't worry, I absolutely won't get up until midnight." Fang Li's face was full of terror. She obediently knelt on the ground and slapped her own face, one by one.

Everyone in their circle knew about the famous princess syndrome; how could she not know about the fate of Yu Sichun? Now that the Yu Family has changed hands and Yu Sichun is gone, this was all thanks to Chen Yu.

In her small circle, this name was listed as an existence not to be provoked. She never dreamed that she would actually encounter Chen Yu today.

"Call an ambulance for your man, his leg can still be saved." Chen Yu tossed down a card: "Medical expenses, is it enough?"

"Enough, it's enough. No, I don't need medical expenses. He brought this on himself, he deserved it." Fang Li shook her head repeatedly. Just kidding, how could she dare to take money from this star of calamity? She only hoped Chen Yu would leave soon.

Chen Yu glanced at her, ignored her further, and left with Yu Sichen and Lu Ruxue.

"Thank you so much, Chen Yu." After leaving, Yu Sichen looked at Chen Yu with gratitude.

"Alright, you're welcome. Does your face still hurt?" Chen Yu asked with concern.

"It doesn't hurt anymore. It doesn't hurt at all when someone cares." Yu Sichen shook her head.

"How cheesy." Lu Ruxue made a speechless expression: "Alright, you can run into these people anywhere. Chen Yu, I've finished helping you, you're treating me to a meal."

"Okay." Chen Yu nodded.

"I want to eat at a street food stall." Yu Sichen looked up. Ever since she went there with Chen Yu last time, she had missed that taste and feeling.

"Sure. Is it convenient for you, big star Lu? There are a lot of people there, what if you get recognized?" Chen Yu asked.

"It's fine, just find a more secluded place. Can't I have my own life?" Lu Ruxue said nonchalantly.

In this season, beer and crayfish are the standard pairing, plus a big pile of grilled skewers, sitting by the roadside feeling the cool breeze—this is definitely one of life's great enjoyments.

After eating and drinking their fill, it was already midnight. Chen Yu sent the two of them back and then left.

"Are you really not afraid of getting fat?" After satisfying her appetite, Lu Ruxue suddenly regretted it.

She had to maintain her figure. After eating so much, how many days of dieting would it take to lose it all?

"Once in a while is fine. Before I met him, I never knew there were so many interesting things in the world." Yu Sichen sighed with emotion.

"You, you've been trapped in a cage for too long. Stay here for a while longer and let yourself go." Lu Ruxue smiled and opened the door.

Suddenly, she froze. She saw a woman sitting upright in the living room, with two men in black suits standing in front of her with their heads bowed.

This woman was none other than Yu Sichen's mother, Wang Ling, and the two men were the bodyguards she had previously sent to monitor Yu Sichen.

However, after those two were dealt with by Chen Yu a few times, they began to lean toward Yu Sichen's side. But no one expected Wang Ling to suddenly come to Fengling.

"Mom, why are you here?" The smile on Yu Sichen's face froze. She was still carrying some takeout skewers and beer; she and Lu Ruxue had originally planned to drink and chat until dawn.

"Where did you go?" Wang Ling's face was frosty: "Who did you go out with?"

"Auntie, Sichen went out with me." Lu Ruxue said quickly.

"I wasn't asking you." Wang Ling glanced coldly at Lu Ruxue, then stared at Yu Sichen and said: "Speak, who were you with just now?"

"I was with Xuexue." Yu Sichen paused.

"Was there anyone else? Was there a man?" Wang Ling pressed.

Yu Sichen looked up. She hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said: "No."

"No? Are you sure there wasn't?" Wang Ling was furious. She slapped the table and stood up: "You've learned to lie?"

"Mom, it's not like that." Tears welled up in Yu Sichen's eyes.

"It's not? These two confessed everything. You and Chen Yu have been seeing quite a lot of each other these past few days, haven't you?" Wang Ling said sternly: "Have you forgotten everything I told you? You went out with a strange man in the middle of the night and sat on his motorcycle?"

"Fine, you've grown capable, you've even learned to lie now?" Wang Ling grew angrier as she spoke: "Don't you know what your mission is? Have you thrown everything I said to the back of your mind?"

"Mom, I'm sorry. Chen Yu and I are not in that kind of relationship, I..."

"You're not now, but can you guarantee you won't be in the future?" Wang Ling interrupted her: "What are you holding in your hand? Barbecue? Alcohol?"

Wang Ling was furious: "You've even learned to drink? And beer at that? How can you eat and drink this kind of trash?"

Wang Ling suddenly grabbed the things in her hand and smashed them onto the floor.

Yu Sichen's expression changed. She looked at the broken beer bottle, the liquid slowly flowing out from the bottle. At this moment, her heart felt as if it had shattered along with the bottle.

"In your eyes, what am I?" Yu Sichen suddenly looked up. A trace of flame rose in her eyes, and at the same time, the Half-side wooden figure at her neck emitted a faint, imperceptible glow.

She felt her heart turning cold bit by bit, and her anger instantly occupied her consciousness.

"You are my daughter, you are going to marry into a wealthy family. Look at yourself now, where is there even a hint of a wealthy family's daughter-in-law?" Wang Ling screamed: "Drinking, staying out at night with a man? Do you know you are turning bad bit by bit?"

"Yes, you've always been teaching me that I must marry into a wealthy family in the future, always telling me that the future of the Yu Family depends on me. What am I? A commodity for trade? A tool for you to exchange for a future?" The hatred in Yu Sichen's eyes grew deeper.

"What are you saying?" Wang Ling looked at Yu Sichen in disbelief. Suddenly, she raised her hand and slapped Yu Sichen heavily across the face: "You dare to talk back? Come back to Jing with me right now. You've learned bad habits from staying with this actor."

Yu Sichen touched the side of her face. Her face burned with pain, but in this instant, she also regained her consciousness. She stared at Wang Ling without saying a word.

Wang Ling was stunned. Her daughter's gaze was very strange; anger, sadness, and unwillingness—all the negative emotions could be seen in her eyes at this moment.

"Sichen, don't talk back to your auntie." Lu Ruxue quickly stepped forward to persuade: "Don't affect the relationship between you and your mother, be obedient."

Yu Sichen's gaze returned to normal, and she nodded slightly.

"Come back to Jing with me immediately, and from now on, you are not allowed to associate with those disreputable people of yours again," Wang Ling said angrily. "You are already twenty-two years old this year; it is the perfect time for you to get married."

"A woman only has these few golden years. Your father has been frequently visiting some old contacts these past few days, all to find you a good husband. Come back with me now and behave yourself," Wang Ling said while pulling her toward the exit.

"You go out first; I have a few words to say to Ruxue." Yu Sichen did not move an inch.

"What could you possibly have to say to an actress like her?" Wang Ling raged. "You've been corrupted by her; she is that kind of person."

"She is my friend, and I will not allow you to speak about my friend that way. If you force me any further, I will scar my own face and turn myself into a monster." That cold, icy look appeared in Yu Sichen's eyes once again.
