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

Vol. 1 - Chapter 6 - Let's be honest, you dislike me

Two figures sat on the concrete steps next to the river as the sun went down.

HuMing handed a pack of noodles snack he had just bought to Ye QiuXue. Surprised, she took the snack from his hand but didn't open it. Instead, she asked HuMing.

"Why do you feel so different today compared to usual?"

HuMing ripped open the packet of noodle snacks and removed a plastic card with a tiny squirrel printed on it. He casually tossed it onto the grass beside them and then started eating.

With every bite, the crunching sound made Ye QiuXue nostalgic for her childhood.

"Since I'm no longer the Han family's young master, I've let go of all my burdens."

Hearing HuMing mention this again, Ye QiuXue quietly opened the packet of snacks and began eating it slowly.

As she gazed at the reflection of the sunset cast on the river, she said,

"No one approached me today either. They seem to have no intention of apologizing. I'll check the surveillance cameras tomorrow and give you justice."

"President, is it because of my handsome face that you're showing me so much concern?"

Right after he finished speaking, a look filled with malice was directed straight at HuMing's face.

HuMing shivered as her cold eyes swept over him like knives.

"I'm kidding."

"It's not funny."

"President, let's not delve further into this morning's incident. Some things are better left alone."

Too much is involved, and HuMing wanted to avoid involving the President in this matter.

But facing Ye QiuXue's gaze, he felt uncertain.

"Do you not believe me?"

"Of course not, but I should take care of this myself. My reputation isn't great, so I appreciate that the President sees me positively."

Ye QiuXue didn't insist further when she saw how adamant HuMing was.

But as she looked at HuMing's lonely figure, her brows furrowed, she asked,

"Have you already been kicked out by the Han family?"

"Not yet, but I think it won't be long."

"But they've raised you for so many years..."

"I've been substituting for their son for so many years. This life doesn't belong to me."

"But it's not your fault either. You're a victim, too."

Ye QiuXue's calm expression turned somewhat impatient. She couldn't understand why HuMing could still treat this matter so casually.

Even if everything is fine now, what about the future? Who can predict what will happen? He needs to make plans in advance.

Not knowing when she grabbed HuMing's sleeve, her tone became more serious.

HuMing looked at her surprise.

Their eyes met.

Ye QiuXue appeared to realize the awkwardness of the moment. Her cheeks reddened, and she released his sleeve.

"Sorry."

"I'm happy you care so much about me, President."

HuMing crumpled the empty snack packet and stuffed it into his pocket.

"It's getting late, we should go back."

With his hands in his pockets, he strolled toward the setting sun.

Meanwhile, Ye QiuXue watched his figure, lost in thought.

...

Nightfall, Han family's villa:

HuMing stood at the door for a while before finally stepping inside.

Upon seeing him, the guard at the door hurriedly opened the door and said.

"Young Master, where have you been? Madam and the others have been waiting for you. We've been searching for you for a long time!"

His tone carried a hint of reproach as though HuMing's absence made them restless.

Hu Ming halted under the street lamp, his figure standing out conspicuously.

He turned his head slowly to meet the guard's gaze.

"Does it matter if you couldn't find me? I don't belong here anyway."

"..."

The guard didn't dare to say anything more. Everyone was aware of the tense situation with HuMing.

But if he leaves the Han family, where would he go?

Seeing the guard's silence, Hu Ming did not say much and walked straight into the villa.

Cheers boomed from the hall as soon as he entered.

It seemed that the Han family was celebrating Han ShuYi's return.

HuMing could see the smiles on everyone's faces, warm and familial. They were indeed a family.

"Brother Han is my real brother. No wonder I felt so close to him when I first met him."

Han YunXi was gleeful, but her mood quieted slightly when her gaze shifted to the empty seat beside her.

She always had to compete with someone for food in the past, but now that noisy presence was gone, she felt somewhat uneasy.

Lost in thought for a moment, she noticed Han ShuYi holding a cup and bringing it to her. He smiled gently, with a hint of fondness in his tone.

"Thank you for the warm welcome, sister. Fortunately, our family is reunited."

As he spoke, a hint of bitterness briefly appeared on Han ShuYi's face, but everyone noticed.

Madam Han bit down on her lip, her eyes clouded with sadness. Her husband, Han LiTian, gently reached out and enveloped her shoulder, silently reminding her of the present situation.

Soon, things returned to normal. Madam Han raised her glass and said.

"It wasn't easy that our family reunited. Let's not dwell on the past. Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

The clinking of glasses echoed in the hall, but it sounded jarring to HuMing's ears.

It was easy for one person to be forgotten.

With his hands in his pockets, he walked straight to his room.

Just as Han YunXi put down her glass, she subconsciously looked towards the door and happened to catch a glimpse of the disappearing figure.

She fell silent for a while, then smiled and said.

"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom."

Once back in his room, HuMing lay comfortably on his bed.

To be honest, he wasn't used to attending classes.

Even before transmigrating, he wasn't an ordinary person, and he didn't have any big ambitions even after transmigrating.

Just attending half a day of classes, he almost fell asleep.

He already possessed the knowledge from the textbooks. Enduring the dull lectures from his high school teachers left him feeling bored.

"Knock, knock."

The dull thudding of the door reached his ears.

HuMing opened it, only to find Han YunXi standing there with her hands on her hips.

She puffed her cheeks, furrowed her brows, and spoke in a tone that conveyed her puzzlement.

"Why didn't you greet us when you came back? Do you know how long we've been waiting for you!"

"Waiting for me? What for? Wasn't today about celebrating Han ShuYi's return? Do you think it's reasonable for me to show up with my current position?"

 HuMing leaned against the door frame, looking at his sister.

Hearing HuMing's words, Han YunXi became even more annoyed.

"Do you think we no longer consider you part of the family? It's you who is distancing yourself from us!"

"Is that so? Then let me ask you, why did you go to school with Han ShuYi today?"

HuMing grinned, but Han YunXi saw no hint of amusement from it.

She became somewhat flustered.

"I..."

"You hated running into me at school before. Let's be honest. You dislike me."
