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

Vol. 1 - Chapter 47 - Banquet

As HuMing was about to pack his bag and leave before school ended, LiYue appeared in front of him.

She had changed her behavior and was no longer avoiding eye contact with HuMing. However, HuMing was uninterested in the person in front of him.

HuMing didn't care what Li Yue had become; he only cared about getting home early to rest.

"HuMing, I'm sorry!"

LiYue bowed and apologized to HuMing, which took him by surprise.

But soon, HuMing could guess it was about the annulment of their engagement talks. But did she really need to come all this way to apologize?

"What are you apologizing for? If it's about the engagement being called off, just as I've already said, it's good for both of us. At least you think you've found a better match, haven't you?"

LiYue stared at HuMing, her mouth agape, struggling to find her voice. There were things she hesitated to say to HuMing as they stirred up an intense feeling of guilt within her.

"I'll leave first!"

LiYue quickly turned and left. Watching her hurried departure, HuMing suddenly smiled.

It seemed that something unpleasant was about to occur, and he was curious to see what LiYue and her associates were up to.

...

The night before the banquet, HuMing returned to his room after dinner. As usual, KangXin came to his room to study.

Her rapid learning in the past few days had impressed HuMing so much that he couldn't help but praise her progress. At this pace, she would catch up on all the previous knowledge before the next semester.

But unlike usual, KangXin didn't leave immediately after finishing.

"Young Master, are you upset about the annulment of your engagement talk with Miss LiYue?"

This was the first time KangXin asked him such a question. During their time together, KangXin always did things as instructed without questioning the reasons.

If it were in the past, that woman would have liked someone like her very much.

However, HuMing was also quite pleased. KangXin asking such a question indicated that she had her own opinions.

He gestured towards his bed, signaling her to take a seat, and then posed a question in response.

"KangXin, what do you think my attitude towards LiYue is?"

"Pity? Sympathy?"

Although KangXin was unfamiliar with romantic relationships, she had previously seen HuMing and LiYue together. HuMing appeared uninterested, and LiYue was timid, standing beside him like a subordinate.

If she had to describe herself, she was similar to LiYue but not quite the same.

HuMing shrugged his shoulders as if he expected KangXin's response.

"That's right. I've never liked her. LiYue is an outsider to me. Even if she chose someone other than Han ShuYi, it would not change her place in my heart."

"But... she betrayed you, Young Master."

'Betrayed?'

HuMing was somewhat surprised to hear such a word from KangXin.

In a way, LiYue had indeed crossed him.

However, everyone is entitled to their own choices, and HuMing wouldn't hold it against her. However, when it came time to settle scores, he wouldn't care about any past affection she might have had for him.

"Alright, KangXin. Don't worry about such things. Go rest early."

"Okay."

KangXin stood up, tidied up the books on the table, and prepared to leave. However, before leaving, she said something that surprised HuMing.

"I won't betray you, Young Master."

......

This banquet invited most of the prominent entrepreneurs in the city. Although it was supposedly a birthday party, everyone knew it was an excellent opportunity to seek collaborations.

KangXin personally assisted HuMing with his tie, and the two looked in the mirror together.

Although the original had a flamboyant personality, he did have an impressive look.

He was wearing a double-breasted suit with a peak lapel, and the side slit exuded an air of elegance. The suit showcased gently used white shell buttons, while the midnight blue base with white stripes accentuated his slender figure.

Enclosed the suit was a stylish white jacquard high-neck shirt, complemented by a dark red tie elegantly tucked beneath the collar.

Even KangXin couldn't help but feel shocked.

"How do I look, KangXin?"

HuMing examined his outfit closely. There's an old saying that went, "One can lose in numbers but not in formation." Besides, he would definitely not lose.

KangXin nodded silently and took a step back from behind him. Only HuMing stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his appearance.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, but before KangXin could open it, Han YunXi burst in.

And after seeing HuMing's outfit, she couldn't help but cover her mouth to hide her surprise and exclaimed,

"Oh my god, brother, this looks so perfect on you!"

"Really? Since you say so, then it must be fine."

"Let's go, let's go. Mom and Dad are waiting downstairs!"

Han Yunxi pulled HuMing outside while KangXin bowed slightly behind them, watching them leave. But just before they turned the corner, HuMing gave her an "OK" hand gesture.

KangXin was momentarily surprised, and her previously indifferent expression softened slightly.

Not only Han YunXi but even Han LiTian and Madam Han were astonished by HuMing's appearance.

Han LiTian could sense a significant shift in HuMing from his inner demeanor to his outer appearance. He was now calm and composed, and his clothing choices were also admirable.

Han ShuYi, who was sitting beside him, also noticed this.

His suit, handpicked by his mother, was undeniably well-fitting and stylish. However, it couldn't hold a candle to HuMing's distinctly impressive appearance.

Once again, HuMing outshone him!

However, he wasn't too upset, as he had a big surprise planned for HuMing tonight.

...

In the vibrant and lively banquet hall, the atmosphere was filled with light and sound. Glasses clinked, and the scent of wine mingled with the lively chatter of the crowd.

Handsome men and beautiful women stood in groups, holding glasses and exchanging pleasantries. Their faces were bright with smiles, and laughter filled the air.

Han YunXi donned a chic, figure-hugging dress that accentuated her graceful features. Her complexion exuded a youthful glow, brimming with vitality. The dress's white peacock feather design gracefully highlighted her slim waist, creating a captivating curve that made the other women around her appear less impressive in comparison.

One couldn't help but admire the strong genes of the Han family. Even Han ShuYi, whom HuMing found least favorable, stood out as the most eye-catching person in the crowd.

Ever since HuMing arrived, all eyes were on him.

Everyone was aware of his identity as the "fake young master".

But HuMing ignored their stares and casually found a corner to drink alone. He'd chosen an excellent vantage point to survey the entire banquet.

It felt almost like returning to his mission days.
