Transmigrated as the fake young master, I'll beat up the scumbags and b*tches Chapter 92 - If I hadn’t said that
In the afternoon, HuMing led the children to do exercises in the open space.
The kids were unusually excited, chasing after him, and Han YunXi was also among them.
Ye QiuXue sat under a tree in the shade, enjoying the warm breeze as she watched the children play, their faces beaming joyfully.
Suddenly, her phone rang in her pocket. When she took it out and looked at the contact, her expression imdiately soured.
It appeared to be an unwelco caller.
She stood up and stepped outside to answer the call. On the other end of the line, a middle-aged man's voice ca through,
"QiuXue, aren't you ho today? I brought your brother to see you."
"I don't have a brother. Please don't just label anyone as my brother."
Ye QiuXue regretted not blocking his number long ago. This man always managed to crawl into her skin, and she sotis felt as if she must have owed him in a past life to be tornted this way in this one.
"QiuXue, I know what happened before was our fault, but you should give us a chance to make it up to you, shouldn't you? Family shouldn't hold grudges overnight. We don't need to make our relationship so estranged."
"When I was in the countryside, you didn't show any concern to . Now you're saying we're family? Fine. If you want to make it up to , pay back the child support for all these years, and I will not do anything for that son of yours. If you agree to that, I can accept."
Ye QiuXue's voice was icy, showing no intention of giving face.
The caller was stunned by her words and was silent for a mont before speaking slowly.
"Let's et and discuss this in person, okay?"
"No. The best choice would be for you to stay out of my life!"
Without bothering to argue further, Ye QiuXue hung up the phone and blocked the number.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, but the thought of that person's face made her inner turmoil even worse.
"Seriously, always finding ways to cause trouble for !"
Ye QiuXue put her phone back into her pocket. As she turned to head back, she was startled by HuMing standing right behind her. She hadn't heard him approach at all.
She patted her chest, shot HuMing a look, and said,
"You scared ! How co there's no sound when you walk?"
"No. I just ca over to get sothing."
HuMing glanced into the distance, where a vehicle was slowly driving towards them.
"Was that your father calling you again?"
"Yes, he brought his child over to find and asked why I wasn't at ho."
"It's the first ti I've seen you so grumpy," HuMing couldn't help but laugh.
"When I tutor you, I'm just as grumpy!" Ye QiuXue said as she pinched HuMing's arm to vent her frustration.
The car stopped outside the yard, and a few burly n in vests got out. When they saw the two people standing at the door, they looked puzzled.
"Hey, are these the things you ordered?"
"Yes, frozen chicken wings and sausages for the barbecue."
"That's right. We'll help you carry them inside."
Ye QiuXue looked at HuMing with a helpless expression. "Tonight's cleanup is going to take a long ti. Aren't you worried it will be exhausting?"
"It's fine. You just sit and watch. I already feel bad enough asking you to co over. I can't in good conscience let you do all this work, too."
"Hmph, do you take for that kind of person?"
Ye QiuXue shot HuMing another look before taking the items and heading inside.
...
The children jumped in joy when they learned that there would be a barbecue tonight. Their excitent seed to inject into the air, making the air infected with liveness that was palpable.
They worked hard to set up everything needed for the barbecue tonight, and by the ti darkness fell, everything was finally ready.
HuMing had set up several grills so that each child could cook their own food, and he and the others helped the kids, ensuring they all got to experience the joy of doing it themselves.
The flas flickered under the dark night sky, and the children gathered around, sharing stories about their day. For them, this was a mont they would never forget.
Ye QiuXue glanced around, and her gaze landed on a particular child. That child sat apart from the group, alone on a sand pile, playing with a tuft of grass.
Ye QiuXue got up and walked over to the child.
"YouCheng, are you still thinking about what HuMing said today?"
YouCheng looked up, a bit dazed, and quickly tossed the tuft of grass aside and said,
"Teacher Ye, I'm not."
"It's okay if you are. It's not a big deal," Ye QiuXue said, patting his head.
YouCheng lowered his head further.
Seeing the slouched figure, Ye QiuXue agreed even more with HuMing's assessnt.
'This child is too responsible.'
"Can you tell about your past?"
Ye QiuXue looked at YouCheng. It was the first ti she had asked a child such a question.
YouCheng was initially stunned, then slowly curled up. His eyelids drooped and his voice sounded sowhat hoarse.
"When I was younger, I once hid in a fitting room in a mall and got discovered by a lady."
"She asked why I was hiding there and where my parents were."
"I begged her not to tell my dad that I was here because he would beat and my mom every day, so I wanted to run away."
"The lady was silent. I saw the troubled look on her face, and I didn't say anything more."
"Later, the broadcast announced that my dad was looking for . I told the lady that I knew I couldn't escape."
"But that lady pulled and told to study hard. She said that if my grades were good, there would be a chance to run away!"
"Later, I asked my mom if we could leave if I did well in school."
"My mom looked at and cried... It was that night that my mom and dad fought, and they both fell in front of ."
YouCheng tightly gripped his arms, struggling to hold back tears.
"I feel, if I hadn't said that, maybe mom wouldn't have died..."
Ye QiuXue silently watched YouCheng and gently patted his back.
At so point, HuMing had quietly stood behind them, listening to YouCheng's words.
...
anwhile, Han YunXi was busy, excitedly engaging with the children.
"Hey, there are no chili peppers."
"They're in the kitchen; I'll take you there!"
A little girl grabbed Han YunXi's hand and led her toward the kitchen.
However, as they passed by the front door, Han YunXi noticed that the door, previously shut, was now open. She squinted, her heart filling with unease.
