Zhou Yuchen looked up at Gu Qingcheng, suppressing the look of anticipation in his eyes!

  But Zhou Yuchen was young and not deep and scheming enough…… so the look of anticipation was vivid in his eyes.

  Gu Qingcheng ran his hand through Yun Liuli’s hair and answered, “Sorry, I never pay attention to such things. But if you’d like to know more about your mother, why don’t you go ask around in the supermodels’ circle?”


  It wasn’t that Zhou Yuchen didn’t wish to do so, but he wasn’t able to get in touch with that circle.

  But Zhou Yuchen was different now. Now, he was the young master of the Xiao family……

  Since Xiao Qinghai wanted to make use of him to provoke Xiao Yuan, why couldn’t he borrow the Xiao family’s influence?

  Zhou Yuchen nodded. “Thanks!”


  Zhou Yuchen then got to his feet and looked towards Yun Liuli.

  Zhou Yuchen felt pressured in front of Jacob Bellucci. Perhaps it was because Jacob Bellucci had richer life experiences than he did!

  He exuded a deepness and aggressiveness without deliberately trying to, which made Zhou Yuchen feel so suppressed that he had difficulty breathing.

  “I’ll leave now……” Zhou Yuchen spoke, his voice sounding rather raspy.

  “It’s so late already, be careful on the road!” Yun Liuli reminded Zhou Yuchen like a friend.

  Zhou Yuchen nodded. He then entered the elevator, and Gu Qingcheng scanned his fingerprint for him. He looked up towards Yun Liuli, looking like he had something to say but was hesitant.

  After leaving the Cloud Top Condominium, Zhou Yuchen felt a mix of emotions. He had originally thought that by summoning his courage and lowering his stance before Yun Liuli’s lover, he would at least be able to obtain some news of his mother, but in the end, he ended up finding out nothing.

  Looking at the way Yun Liuli and Jacob Bellucci interacted with each other, it seemed as if the two of them had known each other for a long time. Yun Liuli’s natural movements…… and Jacob Bellucci’s subconscious actions, they quietly revealed the chemistry between them to Zhou Yuchen.

  Zhou Yuchen turned back and glanced at the landmark-like building in Haicheng—the Cloud Top Condominium—before finally walking towards the main street.

  By the time he got back to the Xiao family, it was nearly 1 am.

  When he opened the door to his room, he saw Xiao Yuan wearing shoes with his legs crossed, sitting on his bed while playing games.

  Zhou Yuchen paused slightly as he stood at the door, not bothering to conceal the abomination in his eyes.

  “Get out!”


  Zhou Yuchen’s voice was quiet, and it contained an inconcealable disgust.

  Xiao Yuan’s lips curled. His phone gave out a sound indicating the end of the game, and he said, “Don’t be so cold. We’re brothers!”


  Unlike how he usually treated Zhou Yuchen coldly, treating him like garbage, Xiao Yuan actually referred to Zhou Yuchen as his brother.

  However…… Xiao Yuan said this in a disdainful manner, and he was still looking at Zhou Yuchen like he was looking at garbage.

  “Yun Liuli is considered a big celebrity now that she suddenly became popular!” Xiao Yuan tapped on a photo on his phone. “This is a composite photo my hacker friend helped me make. It cost me over two million! What do you think of this? Can’t tell it’s been photoshopped, eh?”


  There was a photo of a girl being raped by a man on Xiao Yuan’s photo, and the girl’s face…… was Yun Liuli’s.

  Zhou Yuchen’s pupils contracted instantly.

  “If this photo were to be leaked out, what kind of effect would it have on Yun Liuli’s future?” Xiao Yuan’s lips curled, his gaze vicious as he stared at Zhou Yuchen. “Say, when that boyfriend of hers, the king of photography Jacob Bellucci…… sees how filthy his girlfriend is, will he still want her? If Yun Liuli gets dumped by Jacob Bellucci, you’ll have a chance, won’t you? Look…… am I not being a good brother to you? Trying all means to help you obtain the woman of your desire!”


  Sensing the murderous intent from Zhou Yuchen, Xiao Yuan slowly got off the bed and walked out of Zhou Yuchen’s room.

  He brushed shoulders with Zhou Yuchen, bumping hard against Zhou Yuchen, who was standing in his way at the door. Before he exited the room, he said, “That hacker friend of mine said that he can even give the female lead of an AV film Yun Liuli’s looks. It’s just that it’ll cost more money. I have several friends who are tempted already. They said even if they can’t get Yun Liuli in real life, they can at least get a kick out of mastu……”


  Before Xiao Yuan finished his words, Zhou Yuchen had grabbed his collar and thrust him against the door, his large hands strangling Xiao Yuan’s neck.

  Xiao Yuan’s expression twisted in pain before it was replaced by a look of glee at seeing that his provocation had worked. “Why? Can’t take it already? Then what are you going to do after I release the photo and video?”


  Zhou Yuchen pinched Xiao Yuan’s neck harder, causing Xiao Yuan to feel intense pain at his throat and the veins on his temples to throb. He tried to pry away Zhou Yuchen’s hands, but the latter exerted more force instead. Unable to breathe properly, red vessels started filling the whites of Xiao Yuan’s eyeballs. It was only then that he frantically tugged at Zhou Yuchen’s arms.

  “Zhou Yuchen, what are you doing?”


  Hearing Xiao Qinghai’s astounded and frantic voice, Zhou Yuchen pushed away Xiao Yuan with clenched teeth.

  The insomniac Xiao Qinghai couldn’t sleep and had wanted to go downstairs to get some water to take his sleeping pills with. Who knew, before he got downstairs, he saw Zhou Yuchen strangling Xiao Yuan.

  Xiao Yuan rubbed his neck and looked at Zhou Yuchen, a provocative smile on his lips. With a green face, Xiao Qinghai stared at Xiao Yuan. “Scram back to your room!”


  Xiao Yuan was momentarily stunned, as he hadn’t expected Xiao Qinghai to scold him. He gritted his teeth and glared ferociously at Zhou Yuchen before walking back to his room.

  Xiao Qinghai kept staring at Zhou Yuchen, and it was only when he heard Xiao Yuan closing the door to his room that he gave Zhou Yuchen a slap across the face.

  Zhou Yuchen’s head turned sideways from the impact of the slap, his right cheek burning with a fiery sensation.

  “What gave you the guts to touch Xiao Yuan? Did you think that by strangling Xiao Yuan to death…… the Xiao family would belong to you?” There was loathing in Xiao Qinghai’s voice. “Stop dreaming! Who do you think you are?”


  Zhou Yuchen had always known that he was nothing in the eyes of the Xiao family……

  In this world…… there was actually no one who truly cared about Zhou Yuchen!

  Zhou Yuchen thought of Yun Liuli, that fair and delicate girl. Now that girl…… had gotten together with the man she liked! There wouldn’t be anyone caring for him in this world now!

  No one would care about him anymore……

  “I can get Xiao Yuan’s men to stay away from the nanny and that child of hers that she managed to conceive after much difficulty…… I can also get people to fix them to death. Do you understand?” Xiao Qinghai threatened Zhou Yuchen.

  Zhou Yuchen’s different colored eyes looked frosty, like ice from Antarctica. He held back the overwhelming emotions in his heart and looked up…… his gaze extremely calm.

  “Didn’t you tell me to provoke Xiao Yuan? How am I going to provoke him if I don’t make him feel threatened?” Zhou Yuchen’s voice was emotionless. “I have no interest in your Xiao family. I only want to sell off my 10% shares after I complete my task and use that money to do something I want to do!”


  Xiao Qinghai’s eyes narrowed, seemingly wishing to verify the truthfulness of Zhou Yuchen’s words……
