Behind the girl with the cat stood a tall man. Although he was wearing a suit like his bodyguards, one could tell from his aura that he was not an ordinary person.
When Yu Lang saw the man's face clearly, his pupils constricted. How could Qiao Lian be here?
Unlike Yu Lang, who feared Qiao Lian, Yu Jue, who was in the entertainment industry, did not know of this business tycoon. His attention was all on Yu Yao.
"Yaoyao!" Yu Jue ran over, his anxious expression softening slightly.
"So you're here. I thought something had happened to you. You scared me..."
He wanted to hold on to Yu Yao's shoulder and check if she was injured, but his attempt to perform such an intimate action only made Yu Yao take a step back warily.
Even the Maine Coon in Yu Yao's arms flashed its claws to Yu Jue.
Yu Jue stopped in shock. He was a little hurt and regretful as he avoided Yu Yao's gaze. When he opened his mouth again, he lost his confidence.
"Yaoyao, I'm just... just a little worried about you."
Yu Yao had no idea what was going on. She wondered if she had missed out on part of the story when she read the novel in her previous life.
This Third Young Master Yu in front of her wasn't how Yu Yao had imagined him. He was extremely disgusted with his sister and had a cold attitude.
Out of caution, Yu Yao did not speak; she just observed Yu Jue's expression.
"I think she has already said enough. Thank you for your insincere concern." Although he didn't know what kind of relationships Yu Yao held with her family, Qiao Lian simply didn't want her to be hurt.
Hence, he took a step forward and put his arm around her thin shoulders. He was doing something that did not conform to his principles—interfering with the family matters of others.
Yu Jue was famous for being hot-tempered in the entertainment industry. At this moment, he naturally could not keep his bad temper under control.
"Who are you! You have nothing to do with our family. Also, get your arm off my sister, you bastard!"
"Shut up, Third Brother!" Yu Lang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly snapped. He had been observing Qiao Lian's expression, and only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Qiao Lian didn't seem to be angered.
Although the Yu family were nouveau riche in Haicheng, they were not on the same level as the Qiao family. As the successor of the Yu family, Yu Lang only vaguely understood Qiao Lian's style.
It was rumored that as the third son, Qiao Lian had used a rather cruel method to eliminate his two older brothers. That was why he had been able to become the head of the Qiao family in his twenties.
And his enemies usually didn't end well.
No matter what relationship Yu Yao had with this person, Yu Lang didn't want Qiao Lian to be angered by Yu Jue's rude attitude.
"How nice for your family to have a slightly smarter member." Qiao Lian glanced indifferently at Yu Lang."But if you lack acumen, no matter how smart you are, things will only end in destruction."
Yu Lang's pupils constricted slightly. He could glean the deeper meaning of Qiao Lian's words, and he recalled the Yu family's overnight defeat that had happened in his previous life.
If Yu Yao hadn't fought for a chance to ease the tension between them, the Yu family might have fallen into an even more miserable state.
Yu Lang had been through this before in a previous life and already had a clear idea of the future, but how could Qiao Lian's casual words be so precise?
Yu Jue, on the other hand, did not think as deeply as his older brother. He did not dare to anger his older brother, so he could only mutter discontentedly.
"Not only did you lay your hands on my younger sister, you even tried to blame it on your short-sightedness! How arrogant!"
His voice was loud enough for everyone to hear.
Although she still didn't know why her third brother held such a changed attitude towards his younger sister, Yu Yao seemed to have understood part of his nature.
To be honest, this Third Young Master Yu was a hot-tempered person. He was surely a fool!
Everyone simultaneously ignored Yu Jue's dissatisfied speech. In contrast, Yu Lang's attitude became much calmer.
"Yaoyao, I admit that sending you to the mental hospital was a little much, so we've come to bring you home. We're blood-related, and we won't..."
Not waiting for him to finish, Yu Yao felt a surge of anger rising in her body. This was probably a feeling that the real Yu Yao had left behind.
"So, sending a completely normal sister to the hospital is just a tad too much?"
Though it was Yu Yao speaking, it was as though a demon inside her were speaking instead.
"I was tied up and beaten up, fed a handful of sedatives, and violated by the perverted director. To you, that's not even worth mentioning, right?"
After this outburst, Yu Yao felt the anger in her body slowly dissipate.
How pitiful. Yu Yao, is your hatred for them so weak??she thought to herself.
Yu Yao didn't want to delve into the expressions on Yu Lang and Yu Jue's faces.. She didn't even want to know if they felt any heartache or remorse.
