Chapter 11: WHAT IS THE REAL LESSON

"Liang Yunsheng? It really is you."

The voice sounded happy and quickly approached her.

Liang Yunsheng turned her head mechanically to the sight of a thin man wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses.

"Yunsheng, don't you remember me? It's Sheng Nuo! Why have you become invisible now?" The man smiled and came closer.

"Senior... Senior Sheng Nuo." Liang Yunsheng's face turned pale, the sides of her mouth dropping.

"Your clothes seem to be very high-end! How did you sneak in?" Sheng Nuo looked as though he had noticed a bunch of weeds, like himself, among the elegant flowers. He stuck to the train of thought that maybe he wasn't alone to try and find some comfort.

"Who allowed you to touch her?" You Siyue pried Sheng Nuo's hand from Liang Yunsheng. "Please show some respect to girls."

Sheng Nuo was stunned. He took a step back. He flattened his expression and handed a business card over to You Siyue. "Hello, young master You! I don't know if you still remember me. I'm the product manager of the Haohui Subsidiary Company under your family, Sheng Nuo."

You Siyue glanced at the business card before handing it back.

"Yunsheng is not someone you can call. She's my female companion." You Siyue's face darkened, his arrogance evident, like he was above everyone else. It was like a different You Siyue to the one in front of Liang Yunsheng and Yin Qianchen.

After pulling Liang Yunsheng away, You Siyue's face changed back to how it was before.

"Do the two of you have some kind of grudge against each other or something?"

Surprised by You Siyue's sensitivity, Liang Yunsheng's lips twitched. "Why do you say that?" she asked.

"Because you seem to hate him." You Siyue raised his eyebrows and looked at Liang Yunsheng, waiting for an answer he seemingly already knew.

"He... used to bully me in school."

Liang Yunsheng considered her words before continuing.

"Oh my God! It's disgusting! A grown man bullying a little girl... how shameless!"

You Siyue's big bright eyes began darting around. He was looking for something, something for a plan he had.

"There's still some time before the end of the birthday party! I say, let's go mess with him and help you vent some of your anger!"

"That's not very good, though." Although Liang Yunsheng said that, she was still tempted to do something.

Thinking of what Sheng Nuo had done to her, Liang Yunsheng still wasn't over it. 'If I really could teach him a lesson, surely it would help make me happy,' she thought to herself.

The corners of You Siyue's mouth raised and he curled his hand, gesturing for Liang Yunsheng to lean closer to him. "Sheng Nuo hasn't gone too far and his eyes are still lingering on you. So, I'm sure that as soon as we separate, he will come looking for you. There aren't many people in the villa's garden's swimming pool. When you go there later, he will follow you and I will be like a mantis stalking a cicada."

"And then?"

You Siyue took out a red firecracker from his pocket. "First, stuff this into his clothes, then push him into the water, so long as the situation allows it!"

"Come on, you're a young master! Why would you have such a strange thing in your pocket?"

Before Liang Yunsheng could complain any further or be given an answer, You Siyue pushed her out of her seat and onto her feet.

You Siyue was in high spirits and clearly had done this kind of prank before.

After Liang Yunsheng and You Siyue parted ways, they followed the agreed plan and strolled into the garden alone separately. Since the house was bustling with activity, it was empty outside.

Like You Siyue said, Sheng Nuo followed Liang Yunsheng once she was alone.

"Yunsheng is doing really well. Look at this little face. It's even more delicate than before," Sheng Nuo said to himself.

Sheng Nuo had a perverted smile on his face. He approached Liang Yunsheng and tried to touch her face, but she frowned and batted his hand away.

"Stop pretending!" Sheng Nuo grabbed Liang Yunsheng's wrist. "I say, it's easier for a woman to get to the top than a man."

"Let go of me!"

Despite Sheng Nuo being skinny, he was still a man. Liang Yunsheng could not struggle free. A wave of nausea washed over her. Every inch of her skin crawled under his touch.

An anxiety wormed its way into her. She wondered why You Siyue had not come over yet. "You're not going to try to stand me up at a time like this, are you?" Sheng Nuo sneered.

The power that restrained Liang Yunsheng suddenly disappeared.

Bang!

The sound of collision filled her ears and the smell of blood filled her nostrils.

Liang Yunsheng covered her mouth and stumbled back, gasping.

"Y-Yin Qianchen?"
