Chapter 22: Yu Minglang Stands Up for Her
Yu Minglang directly snatched the opaque plastic bag from Qian’s hand, opened it, and checked the contents inside.
Qian was absolutely furious!
"Yu, do you have any shame?" Are we that familiar? Stealing things from me?
Taking advantage of his height over hers, Yu Minglang lifted the bag above his head, making it unreachable even if Qian jumped.
Damn it, this guy was bullying her with his height!
"Give it back to me!"
"What did you just do—no need to answer, I can guess."
Yu Minglang pieced together her recent actions and quickly understood.
This girl had just secretly taken photos of a couple... Oh wait, a male couple!
Unable to snatch it back, Qian angrily resorted to stomping on his foot, stomp, stomp!
Yu Minglang didn’t even furrow his brows; this girl really put effort into it, but how could a man as strong as iron yield to such a setback?
Despite her stomping and hitting, he remained steadfast and refused to budge until Qian finally gave up, angrily sitting on the bed.
"What did I do to provoke you? Why do you have to keep bothering me?"
"Tell me, what is your purpose in doing this?" Yu Minglang guessed that Qian had a reason for taking these photos.
Qian knew his stubbornness, and that brute force wouldn’t work on him. If she didn’t provide an answer, he might stall endlessly here.
"One of the men in those photos is my family’s chosen fiancé for me."
Yu Minglang frowned, feeling like his heart was stung by a bee. She had a fiancé?
"His name is Ni Jianren. You might have seen him before when you saved my mom and me from the madman."
Yu Minglang immediately recalled that coward who turned tail and ran.
"What do you think of that coward?"
"I want to break off the engagement, but my family won’t agree. My parents are conservative and think it’s bad to break off an engagement without reason, so I have to find a way to expose his true nature."
Qian’s eyes glittered with a pitiful light, and her voice was both bleak and sorrowful.
Seeing Yu Minglang moved, she found it amusing.
Haha, she wasn’t lying, just hiding part of the truth.
She planned to use that photo to extort money from the bastard, her first semester’s tuition at that.
In her past life, that bastard owed her so much of her youth. In this life, she’s just reclaiming what’s hers.
"Is this true?" Originally, she was almost about to marry!
Yu Minglang couldn’t describe his feelings; a mix of relief and sympathy, a blend of everything.
Seeing his question, Qian lowered her head, conjuring emotions before looking up with tears in her eyes.
"Can you help me? Return the camera to me, so I can show my parents. I really can’t marry that scumbag, I don’t like him... brother!"
The last two words almost melted Minglang.
Especially since she spoke them with tears.
Yu Minglang pondered briefly and then handed her the camera.
"Immediately delete it after the engagement is dissolved. Do not spread it and do not engage in criminal acts."
If this kind of thing spreads, and the consequences escalate, she won’t be safe.
Qian nodded, secretly making a victory gesture in her heart.
"Thank you... brother." In her past life, she discovered that.
Whenever she called him that, his ears would turn red, and he wouldn’t refuse any of her requests.
It works just as well in this life.
Holding the camera as she walked out, when she turned her back on Yu Minglang, her eyes were filled with ferocity.
Delete after breaking off the marriage? In your dreams! That bastard must face utter disgrace, even a thousand hells couldn’t repay the loss of her beloved little angel.
As her hand touched the doorknob, Yu Minglang suddenly called her.
"Stop!"
Qian frowned, was he regretting it?
Clutching the bag tightly, she wasn’t letting go!
Yu Minglang walked up to her and opened the door for her.
"I’ll escort you back." The people she photographed might still be outside; he wasn’t comfortable letting her go alone.
Qian was momentarily stunned. Yu Minglang naturally pulled her to his side, and they walked out together shoulder to shoulder.
As they turned the corner, Ni Jianren and Li Zhen appeared simultaneously, both shirtless. They had chased after Qian but couldn’t find her, and after being surrounded by onlookers, their emotions were brewing with anger.
Seeing Qian appear, Ni Jianren rushed forward eagerly, attempting to snatch the bag in her hand.
Yu Minglang landed a flying kick, causing Ni Jianren to step back, "Damn, that hurts!"
Yu Minglang kicked him straight onto the wall.
Yu Minglang pulled Qian behind him and coldly stared at the two men.
So, it was them—the shameless ones wanting to trick a young girl into marrying them as a shield for their sordid deeds, ruining her happiness for life?
Fueled by inexplicable anger, Yu Minglang’s kick was unusually heavy, pinning Ni Jianren to the wall, making him howl in pain, clutching his stomach, kneeling to the ground.
"What are you staring at, go and get back the bag..." Ni Jianren urged Li Zhen, but Li Zhen remained stunned like a wooden chicken.
"Quickly!" Ni Jianren urged.
"Cous... cousin?!" Li Zhen never expected to encounter Yu Minglang.
A thousand thunders rumbled in his heart. Damn, it’s over, things are big now.
How did they run into Yu Minglang?
Yu Minglang, who is he? His grandfather’s favorite grandson, if this incident reaches that famous old man’s ears, what good will it do for Li Zhen?
Thinking of this, Li Zhen hurriedly pointed at Qian behind Yu Minglang, "Cousin, let me explain to you, this woman is no good! Don’t believe anything she says!"
At this moment, Qian, pulled behind by Yu Minglang, curiously wanted to peek at the two shameless shirtless men to see what shameless words they could still utter.
Yu Minglang’s hand covered over hers, his hand was large, directly clasping her little cheek, "Don’t look, turn around."
He spoke to her in a gentle voice, not wanting her to see the side of him that had lost control.
But when he turned to face the two shameless men in floral shorts, his words came with icy shards.
"You still dare to speak ill of her?"
"Cousin, listen to me... ah!" Li Zhen didn’t finish before Yu Minglang grabbed his arm, twisted it backward, forcing him into a captive-like position, nearly kneeling before Qian, his arm pinned behind his back by Yu Minglang who also kicked the prone Ni Jianren.
"Come over, kneel down!"
Ni Jianren seemed unwilling, but Yu Minglang directly stepped on his back with his shoe, slightly using force with the other foot, kicked the bend of Li Zhen’s leg, forcing them to kneel before Qian.
"Apologize to the girl!"
"Sorry!" The two men, brutally oppressed by Yu Minglang, shouted in unison at Qian.
Qian had never thought that Yu Minglang was Li Zhen’s cousin.
But she didn’t expect Yu Minglang to defend her in such a manner.
