Transmigrated as the fake young master, I'll beat up the scumbags and b*tches

In the relentless pursuit of an impossible goal, disappointment is inevitable. No matter how many kind words Han ShuYi offered, Li Yue only heard his final word, "Yes."

Yes, he indeed stayed with her because of duty.

What she thought was love was merely a figment of her imagination.

From the moment her eyes landed on him, Li Yue's heart fluttered uncontrollably.  She quickly found herself infatuated with him, completely lost in his charm.

She had once thought they would spend a lifetime together, but now, in less than a year, she had already lost everything.

A woman, deep in love, often dreams of being irreplaceable in the world of the person her heart is given to. She infuses herself with the false belief that she is someone who holds a powerful presence in her lover's world. It is only later that she realizes that not only was there no mark left, but even a trace of dust was absent.

This was her now.

Li Yue's face turned ashen as she took step after step back.

Watching Li Yue in this state, Han ShuYi had initially planned to use her one last time to spite HuMing. But now, it was clear to him there was no need.

To him, Li Yue held no value whatsoever.

His cold gaze turned to HuMing, who met his look with a casual, almost lazy expression.

Their eyes locked in the air, almost as if sparks were about to fly.

Just then, Li Yue stepped toward HuMing and stopped before him. She slowly raised her head, looking up at him, and in a voice only the two could hear, asked, "HuMing, did you already know that Han ShuYi would be like this?"

"Who knows? Maybe I just don't like him."

HuMing shrugged, showing no emotional reaction to Li Yue's devastated state.

To him, this was merely the consequence of her poor choices. When she and Han ShuYi planned to break their engagement before everyone else, HuMing decided not to spare her any mercy.

Li Yue looked up at him, staring at his familiar yet unfamiliar face. She suddenly realized that everything had already changed.

HuMing was no longer the HuMing of the past, and she herself was no longer the person she once was. There was no path left that would lead them back together.

Lowering her head, she appeared timid and apologetic, just as she once had.

"I'm sorry, HuMing. I must have betrayed your trust."

HuMing said nothing in response, watching her back as she gradually faded from his view.

It felt as though he had personally torn apart her fairytale. Yet, how ironic that fairytales cannot be destroyed so easily.

"Han HuMing, do you think this will really affect me?" Han ShuYi's voice sounded from behind him.

HuMing slowly turned around, raising an eyebrow.

"Han ShuYi, you'd better cherish the life you have left."

With those words, HuMing turned and walked away.

Later that evening, Zhou WenLi unleashed her fury on HuMing for letting Li Yue into the house.

She had never wanted Han ShuYi and Li Yue to interact, and in the end, HuMing had let her in!

When Han LiTian heard about this, he immediately sensed something was wrong. He hurriedly asked for an explanation, and only then did Zhou WenLi reveal the whole truth.

"Have you lost your mind?"

Han LiTian couldn't help but slam his palm onto the table.

The noise startled Zhou WenLi, and Han ShuYi was equally shocked.

He had assumed Han LiTian would support him in this.

"What---What's wrong with me? My son doesn't like Li Yue; why should I let them stay engaged? Or do you want to see your son marry a girl he doesn't like?"

"Even if it were to be called off, this is the wrong time! I just cut off our partnership with the Lee family. They're already under intense pressure right now, and by canceling the engagement now, you're forcing Lee Tian onto a dead-end! If he snaps and goes after the children, what then?"

Lee Tian was nearly driven mad with anger by his wife's actions.

Ending the partnership was a strategic move to protect the family's reputation. By keeping the engagement temporarily, there was room to negotiate.

It was an attempt to give Lee Tian a lifeline.

But his wife had ruthlessly severed Lee Tian's last lifeline, and if he truly intended to harm the children, the consequences would be far beyond anything they could bear.

Upon hearing Han LiTian's words, Zhou WenLi's face paled instantly.

She couldn't stand the thought of her son getting hurt. After all the effort it took to bring ShuYi back if anything happened to him, she wouldn't want to live either!

"What should we do?"

Her voice was tinged with anxiety, and regret for her actions began to creep in.

Han LiTian could only sigh in resignation; weariness etched into his face.

"Assign some people to protect the children. For now, let's keep a close eye on Lee Tian's movements."

At this, a glint of cold determination flickered in his gaze.

...

Lee Tian's face was ashen as he slumped on the sofa, looking utterly defeated.

The news of him being cuckolded had been exposed, and somehow, word of his abusive behavior had also leaked. He had no idea who had revealed it, but it was clear they had succeeded.

His company was ruined, his reputation destroyed, and the engagement with the Han family was canceled.

He had lost everything.

In desperation, Lee Tian tried to contact that woman; he wanted to bring his son back. But when he dialed her number, it had been disconnected.

She'd fled with his son!

Over the years, he had sent her tens of millions, thinking she'd have some savings. But she had left him high and dry!

Now, he was completely alone, betrayed by everyone.

In a fit of anger, Lee Tian grabbed the ashtray on the table and hurled it to the floor.

Meanwhile, Yu YueLuo and Li Yue had returned to the Yu family. Though the Yu family didn't like them, it was still better than staying here and enduring the abuse.

"Han family, you have pushed me to the edge---I'll haunt you even in death!"

Suddenly, the phone on the table vibrated. When Lee Tian picked it up, he saw it was Yu YueLuo.

The very sight of her name on the screen made him fume. This woman had been unfaithful for decades, and she even wanted him to legitimize her betrayal!

All he wanted now was to send these people straight to hell.

Answering the call, his tone was cold and menacing.

"You still dare call me, you bitch?!"

"Lee Tian, I know you're in a bad mood right now, but I called to tell you who's truly behind all this!"

Yu YueLuo's voice came through, filled with hatred as she sat on her bed, her eyes aflame with resentment.

HuMing had said he wouldn't expose the truth, yet he had done so anyway!

To Yu YueLuo, HuMing was the one who had ruined everything.

If Lee Tian wanted revenge, HuMing was the one to target!

"Who is it?" Lee Tian's eyes widened, and his breathing grew rapid.

The name Yu YueLuo said next left him utterly stunned.

"It's Han HuMing. He knows all my secrets and even told me about your safe. That's where I found that photograph."

"He knows all our secrets!"
