Chapter 28: Huang Wan Yan’s Painful Past
[Zhiwu City]
Who? Who is standing front of me? Huang Wan Yan asked himself.
The entire street was quite even, and the sound of the breeze seemed to stop.
"Hisss!!" A sound of breath sucking could be heard after a long time of silence.
Such a weird scene appeared.
A girl was holding the man's big fist. Her hand was slender and small, but she could hold the man's big and strong fist without much effort. On her left shoulder, there was a small white cat.
The cat sat there lazily, as if he weren't afraid of falling down.
Another four bodyguards were stunned. They couldn't move at all! They stared at the girl in a plain, pale red and white hanfu in horror. So strong! Who is she?
Huang Ying Yue held the man's fist tightly and said nothing. She released some of her spiritual power to fix the five bodyguards' bodies.
The atmosphere was tense.
"Who are you??" Tan Zi Mo asked while frowning. He was also shocked by her sudden appearance, but then he was dissatisfied with her interference.
Huang Ying Yue didn't reply. She was thinking about something.
"What are you doing in a daze? Stupid! Take this girl away and beat that boy for me! Hurry!" He scolded his bodyguards.
"Why don't you move and answer?" Tan Zi Mo asked furiously.
The bodyguards were bitter. Not that they didn't want to move or speak, but they couldn't. They knew that the girl who just appeared strangely was stronger than them.
They felt as if every inch of their skin was pierced by the sharp swords, and their bodies were heavy. Not only that, but they were shocked.
She looked so young, yet they couldn't see through her strength. Is she stronger than them?
"You foolish men. If you can't do it, what's the point of raising you?"
"Move away! This is the matter between me and Huang Wan Yan. If you don't move, don't blame me for being ruthless." He commanded Huang Ying Yue arrogantly.
Seeing that the girl didn't reply, he rushed forward furiously. His strength was in stage 8 of the Qi condensation period. The power of the shockwave gathered around his fist, and then he sent his fist toward Huang Ying Yue.
Just as Tan Zi Mo's fist was about to hit Huang Ying Yue, she sent her fist toward Tan Zi Mo, making him fly fiercely on the floor.
How come Tan Zi Mo is Huang Ying Yue's opponent? She was already in stage 12 of the Foundation Establishment. She only used 3% of her strength.
"Bang!Bang! Bang!" After sending Tan Zi Mo flying away, she sent the five bodyguards flying too. The five figures landed on the cold floor.
Everyone was flabbergasted and amazed. Who is this girl? Why is she so powerful?
"Not his fault." Huang Ying Yue's voice sounded.
Everyone turned to look at her, including Tan Zi Mo and his bodyguards, who just stood up in fear.
They were puzzled. What is she saying?
"Not his fault for being born." She frowned and said them one by one.
"Can you choose where you want to be born and who you wish to be with?" She asked dully.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Yes, it's not his fault. People cannot choose their birthplaces. If so, there would be no poor, rich, strong, or weak people.
"He is not a wild seed. He is my brother." Huang Ying Yue said it plainly, but her voice echoed deeply inside Huang Wan Yan's heart.
Huang Wan Yan was stunned. His empty, dark eyes slowly regain their luster. Is she protecting him? Why? He hated her so much in the past. He even blamed her for hurting his sister, Huang Bai Xing.
Xiao Yun's eyes flashed gently. His master was so compassionate.
Her brother? Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded. Is she from the Haung family? But who is she?
"From now on, I don't want to hear anyone accuse him. He didn't hurt anyone or commit the crime. He shouldn't deserve this kind of treatment." She looked at everyone one by one.
People who accuse and look down on Huang Wan Yan subconsciously dodge away when they see her pure and clear eyes, as if she could see through everything in the world.
"If you can't treat people with kindness, don't push other people's lives into hell. Who knows? You might become like them one day." She didn't look at anyone after finishing talking.
She didn't care what these people were thinking. She just didn't want to see the injustice and unreasonable accusation in front of her.
Huang Wan Yan's dark red and purple pupils slowly turned to an orchid color. His white hair turned back to an orchid color. The tattoo between his eyebrows disappeared.
The purple bracelet slowly changed to pure purple again as the red gas vanished. He slowly lifted his head up as he stared at the slender back who was protecting him deeply.
"As for you, instead of beating the innocent person here, go chase your woman." Huang Ying Yue turned to look at Tan Zi Mo, who was staring at her.
"If she doesn't love you, can you blame her for not loving you?" She asked.
"What do you women know? Huang Wan Yan seduces Yin'er! Before he appeared, Yin'er and I were in love with each other! Yin'er loves me so much!" Tan Zi Mo roared crazily as he strode forward, Huang Ying Yue, without fear of dying.
"Young Master!" The bodyguards tried to stop him but were slapped away by Tan Zi Mo.
Feeling that Huang Wan Yan, who stood behind her, wanted to move, she turned to look at him and stopped him.
"Do you love her so much?" Huang Ying Yue asked.
"How can I not love her?" Tan Zi Mo frowned.
"Can you stop loving her?"
"No!"
"Can you control your feelings for her?"
"Hell no!"
"Then, can you control her not to fall in love with someone else?"
Tan Zi Mo and everyone else were stunned.
"Has someone ever confessed her love to you?" She asked again.
"There are many women. I don't remember them." Tan Zi Mo didn't even remember those women's faces and names.
"Do you love them?"
"No!"
"Just like your woman doesn't love you."
Seeing his pale face, she continued.
"Instead of chasing someone who stopped loving you and didn't see your worth, why don't you learn to treat yourself better?" She sighed and turned around to look at Huang Wan Yan.
She knew that even if she didn't interfere with him, he could handle these people easily. But she couldn't stand his lonely back and painful soul.
She seemed to feel the desperation that he was feeling now. How hurtful is it? To be born into a good family but be treated as a stranger by his closest people?
She remembered now that Huang Wan Yan had a bitter and painful past. Because he was born with a strange appearance from Huang Donghai, he didn't get his father and mother's love.
His father thought that he was a wild seed, while his mother hated him for making the relationship between her and her husband break.
His mother expected that he'd be her pride and let Huang Dong Hai spoil her in the harem, but in the end, not only Huang Donghai ignored her, he even ignored Huang Wan Yan.
No one in the family was allowed to care for or interact with him. From the day he was born, only a maid and bodyguard took care of him. Every day, the maid will change to a new person, as if Huang Donghai didn't want to let anyone close to Huang Wan Yan.
The food was extremely limited; there was not much meat, but mostly a bowl full of vegetables, and even the rice wasn't much.
Huang Wan Yan never received any love or warmth from his so-called family. No one has ever stood in front of him and protected him. Fortunately, in the past, the timid 'Huang Bai Xing', always brought him delicious foods and drinks, so he barely survived.
That's why he was so attached to Huang Bai Xing. In the past, he envied every child in the family that received the father's love and care. When Huang Dong Hai came back from his business, he always brought valuable things to all his children, except Huang Wan Yan.
He yearned for the warmth; he tried to be a good child and to be recognized by his father and mother. But the longer he grew up, the more he realized that, in his family's eyes, he was just a worthless person that no one needed.
When the family gathered and ate together, he was alone in this shabby, cold room. Only a small bowl of food and drink, enough for him to survive.
When he went out, he saw that the parents had bought delicious candy and nice clothes for their children.
He tried every possible way to get his family's love and only expected that his father would look at him gently. Just once was enough for him. But nothing… Huang Donghai's eyes only contained an indifferent look.
He slowly became indifferent and emotionless. He didn't expect anything anymore. He hid himself in his room, focused on cultivation. For so long, he forgot how to smile, how to laugh, and how to cry.
For so many years, he only wore plain hanfu without any decoration and liked other children in the top family.
Even if someone said something hurtful to him, his family never protected him. He was used to being scolded and looked down on.
Why? Why did she help him? He was dull, but he felt that a strange emotion had appeared in his feelings.
