Chapter 191 - Zhou Yan's Trap

While Jiang Yingyue and Han Qingshan were in the queue, He Julong had rushed back home, his face dark and his mood horrible.

The moment he entered through the door to the He mansion, he did not go to find his father. Instead, he went upstairs to a room decorated as if it belonged to a princess. Everything was filled with frills and lace, everything was in pastel colors, mainly baby pink and light blue.

As he entered, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. Inside he saw his little sister lying in bed, her hands playing with her phone. She seemed as if she had no care in the world.

"He Yuyan!" he called out loudly, his words were like thunder in the sky, shocking her greatly and making everyone in the house quiet down. Even the old madam, the current madam, and the grandfather were rushing towards the bedroom when they heard how the young master was shouting at their little princess.

"What is wrong, Big Brother?" He Yuyan was shocked when she heard her brother's thundering yell. Her eyes had widened in shock, and her hands were trembling slightly.

By now, the others had arrived at the room and looked inside in shock and confusion as they saw the dark face of He Julong, and they could not understand what was happening.

He Julong was taking wide strides towards He Yuyan, and when he reached her, he lifted his hand and slapped her hard across the face.

His actions took everyone present by surprise. Although He Julong was usually calm and collected, they all knew he had a temper, but he had never before flared up at He Yuyan.

"Julong!" Madam He exclaimed in shock, unable to hold back anymore, so she rushed to her daughter's side and quickly took a look at the red mark that was brandished on her cheek. Her entire face was swollen, and tears were streaming down her cheeks, but she dared not say anything. She could feel the hatred her brother was currently feeling towards her.

"Julong, first tell us what is going on here?" Old Master He, He Julong's Grandfather, had also arrived, and his eyes were raised in surprise as he looked at his two grandchildren who were looking so different from usual.

"Ask her," He Julong said through gritted teeth, his voice was seething with anger, and the hostility was evident in his voice.

"Ask her what?" Old Master He was still unaware of what was going on.

"Ask her who she has offended," He Julong continued, his eyes so filled with an intense hatred that they could burst into flames at any given moment.

Realizing that things were not as simple as they had thought, Old Master He looked at his granddaughter. Although he was feeling pity towards her for having been slapped, he understood his grandson. Something serious must have happened.

"Who did you offend?" he could not help but ask gently, but He Yuyan just hung her head low and was wondering. Who had she upset?

"No one," she answered confidentially and lifted her head. "I offended Han Qingshan, but he already took his revenge against me. I am sure that it is in the past, so I don't know what you are talking about!"

"What about Zhou Yan?" He Julong asked, his voice was dangerously low, his eyes were filled with annoyance.

"Zhou Yan?" He Yuyan turned pale when she heard his name. She had forgotten everything about the cold man whom she had seen when she had been beaten black and blue. Why would he suddenly be mentioned again?

Seeing her pale like this, everyone knew she had thought of something, and even Madam He, who had been pale and worried, felt a hint of dread.

"Tell us how you insulted him," He Julong sneered, his patience was running thin, and his anger was not diminishing in the least when thinking about the conversation he had with Zhou Yan earlier that day.

"It is because of that man whore Jiang Fengmian!" He Yuyan sneered. "I tried to get rid of him a few times, but both Zhou Yan and Han Qingshan are incredibly protective towards him.

"I can understand that Han Qingshan is protective considering he is his future brother-in-law, but what about Zhou Yan? Why is he so protective of this slutty commoner that only knows how to grab the legs of those powerful people?"

Hearing her words, He Julong closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, they were filled with enlightenment.

"Jiang Fengmian is Jiang Yingyue," he said with certainty in his voice. "She is the lover of Han Qingshan, and likely has some connection to Zhou Yan too.

"You tried to get rid of her without checking her background first. Do you know what situation we are in now?"

He turned around and looked at his mother; his eyes were filled with disappointment. "Not to mention Yuyan, even you, Mother. Why did you allow her to bully Jiang Yingyue at the mall? Right now, our family might be on the verge of bankruptcy."

Hearing the severity of the situation, everyone's faces turned solemn, their expressions grave.

"What happened?" Old Master He was suddenly anxious about what he heard, and his eyes focused on his grandson, nervous to listen to what he had to say.

"I think that Heavenward District was a trap set up for us," He Julong finally admitted what he had felt since he encountered Zhou Yan earlier that day.
