Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


They know each other?


Moreover, Huang Zi Long seemed to be acting humbly in front of her?


According to the information Xiao Liu had found, their families should be in a similar position.


“Come, sit here. Let your sister help you reclaim your dignity!”


Yu Chu Xue patted the couch beside her, signaling Huang Zi Long to sit there.


How possible an honor man would take that seat like a pet especially the Huang Zi Long he knew?


Just as Zhao Yu though, Huang Zi Long obediently walked over him and sit down beside her.


What’s going on?! Am 1 blind? Did Huang Zi Long just did it as he was told? Where was the Huang Zi Long I knew!?


Yu Chu Xue gazed at Zhao Yu and announced, “Huang Zi Long is my fiance. You swindled 10 million from him is similar as causing me 10 million…”


“Fiance?! More like a pet or toy to you!”


Zhao Yu looked at Huang Zi Long in surprise.


Huang Zi Long’s face filled with embarra.s.sment and helplessness, completely unlike him at the bar earlier.


Zhao Yu realized many people nearby seemed interested in their conversation but distanced themselves, maybe they were wary of Yu Chu Xue.


Yu Chu Xue’s family background wasn’t much stronger than Huang Zi Long’s in term of military power. Of course, Yu Family was nowhere near the Su Family.


Still, Why was everyone so afraid of Yu Chu Xue like Su Xiao Xiao?!


“Swindle is not the right word. Huang Zi Long and 1 had a fair wager, with Miss Su as the witness. How could you say it was a swindle?”


“Heh!”


Yu Chu Xue sneered, “Wager? Do you think you worth 10 million and how are you going to win?”


“I can!”


“Let me prove it to you?” Zhao Yu nodded,


“Impossible!”


She laughed, “In a month!? Even for us with our family, to double it in a legal way is nearly impossible. Someone like you able to double 10 million to 20 million in a month?! Money does not drop from sky or grow itself, okay? Dummy!”


Zhao Yu became excited, “Do you dare to bet?”


This is the right time!


Many eavesdropping nearby knew Zhao Yu was looking for such opportunity when they heard this.


Huang Zi Long interrupted their conversation, “Sister Xue, don’t be fooled by him…”


He had been outsmarted by Zhao Yu in the past, but not this time.


“Keep it to yourself!”


Yu Chu Xue rolled her eyes, implying that Zhao Yu will not get it this time.


Is he really her Fiance!? While Zhao Yu thought of it, he saw Huang Zi Long finally stand up for himself.


However, he merely agreed, with a compliant smile and praised her intelligent!


It was a Bizarre!


Zhao Yu found their interaction to be quite unhealthy and disgusted him.


Zhao Yu observed the reactions of others at the same time, he noticed no one seemed surprised.


Could it mean other that Su Xiao Xiao, Yu Chu Xue was the another queen and had often bullied these people since young age?


The only a.n.a.logy he could think of was the story of how baby elephants are trained with a rope, making them submissive even when they’re fully grown.


Zhao Yu’s started to think of a plan din his mind.


“However, betting with someone like you and making some quick money doesn’t sound too bad…” Yu Chu Xue voiced out her own opinion.


Huang Zi Long quickly advised her “Sister Xue! Betting with him is a loss. He’s a doomed man within a month…”


Yu Chu Xue immediately silencing Huang Zi Long with a fiercely stare.


“This bracelet was a birthday gift from my mother on my 18th birthday. Before that, it had been sold at a high-end auction for 18 million…”


Zhao Yu finally get to understand Yu Chu Xue’s behavior. If he could get another similar gift for her, he could formally negotiate with the Yu family about purchasing precision machinery. Money will do the talk.


Yu Chu Xue smirked and handed the bracelet to Zhao Yu.


Zhao Yu reached out to catch it without second thought.


However, as he was about to get his hand on the bracelet, Yu Chu Xue purposely chucked it away.


“Crack!”


A crisp sound echoed as the bracelet shattered into two on the floor.


“How dare you broke my bracelet?!”


Yu Chu Xue’s voice filled with rage.


Her loud outcry captured the attention of everyone in the venue.


Zhao Yu was frozen.


He knew clearly that it was Yu Chu Xue’s trap and he just walked straight into it.


d.a.m.n! She was great at tricking people too.


Yu Chu Xue mockingly whispered, just loud enough for the two of them to hear, “You think you’re worthy of getting to know me?”


Meanwhile, everyone began to approach.


Huang Zi Long finally understood Yu Chu Xue’s tactic.


Indeed, that bracelet was a precious gift from Yu Chu Xue’s mother on her 18th birthday.


He never thought she would shatter it on the spot just for him!


Her sacrificing move for him really touched his heart.


Yet, he also realized she was Yu Chu Xue and to live with her in the future. Knowing her too well, he felt only headache about it.


Regarding Yu Chu Xue, she bore deep psychological scars because of Huang Zi Long.


Indeed, as Zhao Yu speculated, during their childhood, girls tend to develop faster than boys.


Yu Chu Xue was the head among her peers. Given the good relations between the Yu and Huang families, the two had been engaged from a young age.


so Yu Chu Xue and Huang Zi Long had many interactions, growing up like childhood sweethearts.


However, everything started to change after a particular role-playing game.


It was a scene from a movie a bandit leader attempted an a.s.sa.s.sination on two evil spirits. Accidentally, one of his underlings knocked over a candle, setting the leader’s crotch on fire.


The other bandits gathered around, trying to put out the fire by stomping on it.


This scene, naturally, was imitated by the children.


After Yu Chu Xue’s careful selection, Huang Zi Long was chosen as the bandit leader.


The result was that Huang’s mother urgently rushed him to the hospital.


Luckily enough, the burn was not too serious and the doctors managed to save Huang Zi Long’s little brother back.


Nevertheless, the traumatic event left both Yu Chu Xue and Huang Zi Long with deep fears and scars about the event.


Now, whenever he sees Yu Chu Xue, he feels as if he’s been transported back to his vulnerable childhood, feeling like that helpless little boy.


“Holy s.h.i.t, a bracelet worth more than ten million was just shattered?!”


“Was it Zhao Yu’s doing?!”


The surrounding crowd was gazing at the broken bracelet with sympathy as if it belonged to them.


“I didn’t break the bracelet…” Zhao Yu frowned.


“It was you!”


Yu Chu Xue now appeared entirely different from her previous crude self, instead exuding a delicate and fragile demeanor.


To those unfamiliar with her, her act combined with her innocent face was incredibly deceptive.


All eyes and accusations turned to Zhao Yu.


Zhao Yu was speechless.


He didn’t expect that the young lady of the Yu family would resort to such a beauty trick.


He noticed there were no surveillance cameras. His innocence would be hard to prove.


He turned to Huang Zi Long, “You were here, you saw it, right?!”


Huang Zi Long glanced cautiously at Yu Chu Xue before shaking his head.


“I didn’t see anything; 1 was dozing off…”


“We saw it…”


The girls with Yu Chu Xue began to speak, “We saw the whole progress, it was Zhao Yu…”


“Yes, that bracelet was a birthday gift from Yu’s mother…”


“You must compensate…”


“He can’t afford it even if he sells himself…”


“Some say he scammed Huang Zi Long out of ten million…”


“That’s still not enough…”


Zhao Yu felt overwhelmed. This was his first experience of being falsely accused like this.


“I’ve told you, I didn’t drop it; she let go of it on purpose…”


Most people present seemed to revel in his misfortune.


“In situations like this, responsibility should be shared…”


“The last auction price for Miss Yu’s bracelet was eighteen million…”


Zhao Yu realized the truth.


No one here was on his side for the truth.


They all sided with Yu Chu Xue as Zhao Yu was just a n.o.body.


Looking at Yu Chu Xue, who still acted innocent,


Zhao Yu felt a rush of rage but took a deep breath to calm himself.


“I need some time to gather the money, I have to sell my newly acquired


company…”


Yu Chu Xue smiled slightly, “Fine, 1’11 give you three days
