Chapter 110 I'm not being unreasonable!
Yu Yuetong's heart tightened, and she looked up to meet Han Shuang's gaze. A complex mix of emotions welled up within her: resistance, anger, and a hint of unease. However, faced with this pressure, she refused to back down and had no choice but to confront it directly.
"I'm not being unreasonable!" Yu Yuetong lowered her voice, almost growling, "I despise anyone who tries to put pressure on my family, and I will face them with all my might!"
"How ridiculous!" Ji Momo's lips curled up, seemingly provoked by Yu Yuetong's somber expression, and she continued to mock, "Do you think these emotions can change your current status? Do you want to continue making trouble just because of a broken family background?"
Her words immediately jolted Yu Yuetong. Their eyes met, and a strong sense of confrontation arose within her. She could feel herself getting closer and closer to some insurmountable bottom line. She appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was churning with turmoil and resentment.
Just then, Qin Yu stood there like a statue, expressionless, though his expression concealed a turbulent undercurrent. Although he remained on the outer edge of the atmosphere, he did not interrupt, merely coldly observing everything—but the instant his lips parted slightly, a clear "Enough!" rang out like a thunderclap.
Ji Momo and Yu Yuetong were interrupted at the same time, their gazes turning to Qin Yu, a hidden anger rising within them. The atmosphere instantly became heavy and silent, everyone awaiting the leader's orders.
"What are you doing?" Qin Yu's voice was deep yet forceful, seemingly containing an irresistible authority. "Fighting here is far too childish, isn't it?"
Ji Momo immediately dropped her arrogance, a sly glint in her eyes: "Young Master Qin, you should have seen it too, she's not worthy to discuss things with us at all."
Yu Yuetong felt a deep sense of unease, but this accusation felt like a candle flame in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment. A heavy sense of powerlessness washed over her. She blinked, then looked away slightly, trying to maintain her composure in this conflict.
"You two had better calm down. This behavior is utterly shameful!" Qin Yu was furious, but he couldn't vent all his emotions on the two women. He couldn't even explain the subtle contradiction he was experiencing. Then he turned to Yu Yuetong, his tone softening slightly: "I will protect you."
The air around her seemed to freeze once more. A surge of emotion welled up within her, and her burning passion seemed to find resonance in that instant, a mixture of anger and emotion.
Ji Momo, standing not far away, smiled proudly, as if she had everything under control.
Qin Yu's deep accusation was like a muffled thunderclap, startling Yu Yuetong. She bit her lip, wanting to retort, but found his gaze sharp as a knife, causing her to take a half step back. Ji Momo, seeing this, smiled slightly, standing aside watching the show, clearly not intending to miss any opportunity to humiliate Yu Yuetong.
"How could I not understand what Young Master Qin means?" Ji Momo smiled sweetly, but her tone held a venomous edge. "It's just that some people always occupy positions that don't belong to them, which is truly pitiful to look at."
Yu Yuetong's mind went blank for a moment, and her smile froze on her face. This was clearly provoking trouble! She turned her head sharply to look at Qin Yu, only to find him standing there calmly, observing coldly, showing no intention of intervening or mediating.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Yuetong raised her head, as if she had suddenly found a spark of inspiration to retaliate. "Miss Ji, I've heard that the Ji family's cooperation with the Qin family hasn't been going smoothly lately. Is it because you've been busy making sarcastic remarks and forgotten about the important matters?"
"You!" Ji Momo's face suddenly darkened, clearly her sore spot had been hit.
But before she could retaliate, Yu Yuetong suddenly curled the corners of her lips and added, seemingly unintentionally and naturally, "After all, melodramatic plots always need someone to fan the flames, right?"
Ji Momo was so speechless she almost jumped up and down. She had never seen anyone so nonchalantly insult someone so harshly; she couldn't even find the words to retort. Qin Yu, on the other hand, remained standing there indifferently, but the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he was trying to suppress a laugh.
Seeing this, Yu Yuetong felt a burning sense of pleasure. But just as she was about to continue mocking the other person, a familiar cold snort suddenly rang out from behind her ear: "Yu Yuetong, are you tired of living?"
She froze, then turned to see "herself" walking in from outside with a gloomy expression. That familiar tone and gaze were like a spirit possessing her.
Qin Reng, what brings him here?
He strode quickly toward her, his eyes filled with an almost overwhelming sense of intimidation. He looked down at the body that was actually his, and said, "Aren't you taking your guts too seriously?" With that, he gripped her shoulders with his slender fingers and forcefully pulled her into a corner.
"Qin—Reng?!" Yu Yuetong couldn't help but call out in a low voice. She swallowed hard, looking at her "face," which was now so serious it was almost frightening. "What do you want to do! There are other people watching here!"
"It's good to see," Qin Reng sneered. "So they won't really think I, Qin Reng, would dare to marry such an arrogant woman."
His meaningful remark about "woman" instantly made Yu Yuetong explode. "Hey, let me remind you, you're the one standing in front of them right now. If anyone's going to lose face, it'll be you—"
"Shut up!" Qin Reng warned her through gritted teeth, his voice low and menacing. "Try spouting another word of nonsense."
She immediately shut her mouth, feeling remorseful for her current vulnerable position. To others, it looked like Qin Reng was scolding his wife, but in reality, she, as "someone else," was being scolded to the point of being unable to lift her head! She had never felt so humiliated.
Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, Ji Momo suddenly leaned forward, her figure both gentle and haughty, "Young Master Qin, it seems that your relationship as husband and wife isn't as solid as the rumors suggest."
These words were like igniting a powder keg. Before Yu Yuetong could even retort, Qin Reng coldly said, "Whether it's secure or not is none of your business. Who do you think you are?"
The words were icy and chilling, and a crack immediately appeared on Ji Momo's face, but she didn't dare to really lash out, forcing a smile as she dodged away.
But before she could finish speaking, Yu Yuetong reached out and tugged at Qin Reng's sleeve, blurting out, "Oh, young master, you're kind of handsome when you're protecting your own!"
Qin Reng was stunned, then glared at her fiercely and said in a low voice, "Shut up, don't use me as a selling point to show off!"
Yu Yuetong blinked, a mischievous smile playing on her lips, and said, "Don't worry, I won't ruin your reputation."
