Chapter 735: You Will Become a Laughingstock

"Liu Jingye, do you believe me? I want to kill you, it's as simple as pinching an ant to death." Chen Yu stared fixedly at Liu Jingye.

"I believe it," Liu Jingye said with a chuckle. "But you can't kill me without a reason. I didn't force Miss Yu, but marriage is a major life event, and it has always been the command of one's parents; she cannot refuse."

"If you kill me out of jealousy, our Liu Family certainly won't let it go. You are very powerful, but my sister's Green Lotus Immortal Body is no pushover either. If you kill me, the Liu Family will exhaust all resources to fight you to the death. Don't tell me you aren't afraid."

Seeing that Chen Yu had fallen into Silence, the smile on Liu Jingye's face grew even broader: "If you work for me in the future, I can consider calling off this engagement. How about it?"

"Why don't you think it over?" Liu Jingye leaned close to Chen Yu and laughed out loud: "After all, not everyone is qualified to be my dog."

Suddenly, Chen Yu grabbed Liu Jingye by the throat, lifted him up entirely, and slammed him against a pillar.

With his legs dangling in the air, Liu Jingye revealed a look of terror; he had not expected that Chen Yu would actually dare to take action.

"Killing you is as easy as turning over one's hand," Chen Yu sneered. "But just pinching you to death like this, wouldn't that be boring? Liu Jingye, do you know what it means to wish you were dead?"

"Are you really not afraid?" Liu Jingye said through gritted teeth.

"I really don't know how to write the word 'fear,' but don't worry, I won't kill you; that would be boring." Chen Yu smiled: "Three days from now, you are getting engaged, right? Let's make a bet. Three days from now, you will become the laughingstock of Shengjing City."

Chen Yu flung him onto the ground and then strode away.

Liu Jingye collapsed onto the floor, seeing stars, and for a long time, he could not recover. After a while, he struggled to stand up and said through gritted teeth: "Chen Yu, you bastard, just you wait."

"President Jiang, I have some matters to attend to at Jizhao Nunnery tonight. You all go ahead, and I will follow shortly." Chen Yu sent a message to Jiang Chenghai and then hurried toward Yu Sichen's home.

At night, Yu Sichen sat blankly in her room; she had not eaten for a day and a night.

The food placed beside her was heated and cooled, cooled and heated again, and then taken away, but she never touched a single bite.

"You stubborn girl, are you determined to go against us?" Wang Ling pushed the door open and, seeing that Yu Sichen's food remained untouched, could not help but be furious: "Someone, take all the food and drink away. Keep a close watch on her."

Someone walked into the room and took all the food away. Wang Ling roared, her anger still not subsided: "Do you think that by doing this, I have no way to deal with you? The young master of the Liu Family is bringing plenty of sincerity."

"His betrothal gift is a massive contract worth tens of billions for the Liu Clan, as well as billions in capital support, real estate, luxury cars, and even companies under the Liu Clan. As long as we have these things, our Yu Clan will surely be revitalized."

Seeing that Yu Sichen was still sitting there without moving, Wang Ling felt anger rise in her heart. She swept everything in front of Yu Sichen onto the floor and shrieked crazily: "Speak! Why won't you speak? I am your mother; do you think I would harm you?"

Yu Sichen sat blankly in front of her vanity, looking at that beautiful face in the mirror, when suddenly a trace of imperceptible black Qi rose in her eyes.

"If you were my mother, you should respect me." Yu Sichen turned around slowly and looked at her mother.

"You..." Wang Ling suddenly felt that her daughter was somewhat strange. Her gaze was cold and sinister, lacking its usual liveliness, and she was deathly still, as if she were a person without any life at all.

"It is precisely because I am your mother that I made this decision for you. Yu Sichen, I am doing this for your own good." Wang Ling steadied herself and shouted angrily: "What is so good about that bastard Chen Yu? He has money, but can he compare to the Liu Family?"

"In your eyes, only money and power represent everything, right?" Yu Sichen suddenly smiled; her smile was somewhat miserable and somewhat sorrowful: "From childhood to adulthood, you have spent a lot of effort on me."

"You taught me etiquette, taught me how to become a refined young lady. When I was little, I played the piano and learned the zither; if I missed a single note, I would get a beating."

"Weren't we doing that for your own good? If we hadn't forced you like that back then, you would just be an ordinary woman now, Pingping and useless except for a pretty face," Wang Ling screamed.

"Heh, for parents, the greatest form of kidnapping is saying, 'Everything we do is for your own good.'" Yu Sichen smiled.

"You were born of me, carried in my womb for ten months, so you must listen to me." Wang Ling's eyes turned red: "Do you know how hard it was for me while I was pregnant with you? All these years, so as not to be distracted, I didn't dare to have a younger brother or sister for you. I gave everything to you; are you still not satisfied?"

"I am not satisfied?" Yu Sichen closed her eyes, and two lines of tears slid down from the corners of her eyes: "Yes, in your eyes, I must sacrifice myself to revitalize the Yu Clan. I have someone I like, I talk back to you, I complain—am I just 'not satisfied'?"

"What kind of sin have I committed?" Wang Ling slapped her thigh and played the emotional card again: "When you were born, the whole family was so happy. Back then, you would never defy us, but why have you become like this now?"

"Yes, you gave birth to me; everyone was laughing, only I was crying." The Half Wooden Carved Little Person hanging around Yu Sichen's neck had black Qi rising from it, and this wisp of black Qi spread unknowingly throughout her entire body.

"You brought me into this world; did you ever ask me if I wanted to come?" Yu Sichen stood up and slowly turned her head: "If you gave birth to me just to use me as a tool, a chess piece, a sacrifice, then why didn't you just pinch me to death?"

"What did you say? Do you know what you are saying?" Wang Ling screamed: "No matter what, your engagement ceremony will be held in three days. By then, even if I have to tie you up, I will drag you back."

Wang Ling walked out of the room in a rage and shrieked: "Lock the door tight, watch her closely. Without my permission, no one is allowed to see her."

Bang... The door was locked heavily. In the darkness, Yu Sichen slowly crouched down, curling herself into a ball in a corner.

"Chen Yu, if only I could see you one last time, how good that would be." Yu Sichen sobbed in a low voice.

Just at this moment, the bedroom window moved, opened from the outside, and then the curtains were pulled aside, letting the Moonlight from outside spill in.

A figure flashed, and a familiar voice came: "Do you mean you intend to never see me again?"
