Supremely Talented Tyrant
Chapter 945 - 944 Disgust

"Sis!"

When Hao Jian and Ye Linglan arrived on the third floor of the shopping mall, Ye Chunliang, who was waiting at the staircase, immediately spotted them and waved excitedly to signal them.

"Chunliang!"

Seeing her younger brother, Ye Linglan walked over to him.

"Hehe, brother-in-law, you're here too?"

Ye Chunliang's face lit up with surprise upon seeing Hao Jian, then turned into a wide grin as he looked at him.

His reaction made Ye Linglan seethe with irritation—was this really her brother or Hao Jian's brother? Why was he more excited to see Hao Jian than her?

Although a bit annoyed, she couldn't help but blush slightly when she heard the word "brother-in-law."

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's shop! Take whatever you like, today your brother-in-law's footing the bill!"

Hao Jian chuckled as he patted Ye Chunliang on the shoulder, then turned around to pull Ye Linglan toward the mall. But just as he was about to take a step forward, Ye Chunliang hesitantly spoke up.

"Well… uh… brother-in-law, I… I need to wait for my girlfriend…"

"What?! Girlfriend?! Chunliang, when did this happen?!"

Upon hearing that her younger brother had a girlfriend, Ye Linglan's face lit up with joy. She grabbed his hand in excitement and exclaimed, "My brother's finally grown up! He finally has a girlfriend!"

Hearing this, Hao Jian couldn't help but roll his eyes. This girl really was oblivious about such matters.

"Sis… I think I mentioned it before!"

Caught off guard by his sister's reaction, Ye Chunliang forced himself to contradict Ye Linglan's words.

"You mentioned it?"

Ye Linglan paused, puzzled by her brother's statement, then thought for a moment before smacking her forehead in realization. "Oh right! You did say you had something to tell me, but I was busy at the time and didn't listen…"

"…"

Hearing this, Hao Jian and Ye Chunliang exchanged glances and fell silent. Hao Jian broke the silence with a laugh and said, "Well, let's wait for your girlfriend then. It'll give me and your sister a chance to check her out…"

"Yes, yes!"

Ye Linglan quickly chimed in, temporarily setting aside her other thoughts. Right now, all that mattered was her brother—after all, he had a girlfriend now, and that was a big deal!

She began to act like a mother selecting a bride for her son, which made Hao Jian smile softly before rubbing her head and teasing, "Just make sure you don't scare her off, alright?"

"Hmph! What do you know!"

Ye Linglan pouted and huffed, but her crescent-shaped smile betrayed her happiness.

The three of them waited in the mall for a bit. A few minutes later, Ye Chunliang suddenly started waving fervently toward a specific area.

Seeing this, both Hao Jian and Ye Linglan knew the person had arrived—who else could make Ye Chunliang this excited but his girlfriend?

The two instinctively turned their attention toward where Ye Chunliang was waving, but their expressions quickly changed. Hao Jian's eyes even glimmered with a sharp, cold light.

As he looked at the woman, a thought crossed Hao Jian's mind: "I'll let it slide because you're a woman, but your actions have already crossed the line, and I can no longer view you as one."

Meeting the woman's gaze, Hao Jian turned to Ye Linglan. Their eyes met, and Hao Jian saw a flicker of anger in her expression. He shook his head and gave her a reassuring look.

The woman was none other than Cen Yu, the one who had just been involved in a conflict with Hao Jian and Ye Linglan in the parking lot. It turned out she was Ye Chunliang's girlfriend, yet still entangled with another man elsewhere!

A hypocritical woman!

Ye Linglan's eyes mirrored Hao Jian's disgust. She hated this type of woman the most, especially since Cen Yu had insulted Hao Jian earlier, making him out to be worthless!

"Haha, what a coincidence! Miss Cen, your arrival truly surprises both of us!"

Before Ye Chunliang could introduce Cen Yu to Hao Jian and Ye Linglan, Hao Jian broke the silence with an icy laugh.

It seemed fate had intervened, giving Hao Jian the chance to settle accounts with her.

"No one messes with my brother!"

What?! This broke ass?!

As Cen Yu was led to Hao Jian and Ye Linglan, her heavily made-up face twisted in an instant, then flared with anger.

The sudden presence of the two threw her off, but with Ye Chunliang by her side, she quickly regained composure. She was aware of Ye Chunliang's martial skills and his deep affection for her—he'd obey her every word, and she'd exploited this countless times before, always successfully!

"Brother-in-law, do you know Yuyu?"

Ye Chunliang hesitated upon noticing some familiarity between Cen Yu and the others, but his attempt to introduce her fizzled out when Hao Jian raised his hand to stop him. At the same time, Ye Linglan grabbed Ye Chunliang and pulled him closer.

Brother-in-law?!

Cen Yu immediately understood their relationships from Chunliang's address. Her lips curled into a triumphant smile. Her manipulative tactics could turn even siblings against each other, let alone in-laws like this. Surely blood ties couldn't compete with siblings, right?

But perhaps her undefeated methods would fail today. After all, her opponent was Hao Jian—not someone she could easily manipulate!

If someone like her could handle Hao Jian, he'd have long been ruined. Unsurprisingly, Hao Jian didn't give her a chance to speak. Cutting straight to the point, he gestured toward Cen Yu and smiled at the puzzled Ye Chunliang beside him.

"Chunliang, you should leave this woman as soon as possible. She's not worthy of being your girlfriend. Not only does she have you as her partner, but there's another man she's even closer to than you!"

"Brother-in-law, what… what do you mean?!"

Initially confused about his sister and brother-in-law's behavior, Ye Chunliang was now utterly stunned by Hao Jian's words. He turned to Cen Yu and questioned her directly, "Yuyu, is what my brother-in-law said true?!"

Her plans were far from executed, but Cen Yu felt everything unraveling due to Hao Jian. Glaring momentarily, she quickly forced a sweet smile, her eyes brimming with tears as she began to sob and plead, "How could I possibly have another man? I only love you! Don't listen to your brother-in-law; he… he tried to touch me inappropriately in the parking lot earlier. Now that I'm here, he's making up lies to cover his tracks!"

Cen Yu believed her exaggerated claims would sway Ye Chunliang, but her words only darkened his expression.

His brother-in-law harassing Cen Yu? What a joke! Hao Jian, with his status, would never stoop to someone like her—especially with his sister, Ye Linglan, right by his side!

"Yuyu, tell me the truth!"

Ye Chunliang's tone grew stern as he fixed his gaze on Cen Yu. "There's no way my brother-in-law would do something like that!"

To Ye Chunliang, whatever his sister said was the absolute truth, and his brother-in-law carried even more admiration and respect. Hao Jian's achievements at his age were something to aspire to, and Chunliang felt pride knowing Hao Jian was part of his family.

But now his so-called girlfriend dared insult Hao Jian, spouting lies that he couldn't possibly believe. How could he not be suspicious?

"He… he's not impossible! He's just a clueless bumpkin who's never seen a woman like me. It's normal for him to act out!"

Growing desperate at Ye Chunliang's refusal to believe her, Cen Yu rushed to defend herself.

"Haha! My brother-in-law's a bumpkin? Then what does that make my sister? And me? Bumpkins among bumpkins?"

"You… you don't believe me?!"

"Believe you? Your lies are full of holes! Anyone with half a brain can tell you're deceiving me. I, Ye Chunliang, am not the type to bend for beauty, especially since your attractiveness isn't even a fraction of my sister's. Why would I care for you?!"

Complex emotions flickered in Ye Chunliang's eyes. He wanted to believe Cen Yu, but his heart rejected her claims outright.

He couldn't explain it, but an overwhelming sense of disgust suddenly bubbled up inside him—starting from the moment Cen Yu began her false accusations, he felt an inexplicable aversion…
