Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing that she was so cautious, Lu Ming rattled off a string of numbers from memory. It was Lu Yaohua’s phone number.

Lu Ming used to believe in his father so much that he had memorized this phone number. However, the high and mighty CEO, Lu Yaohua, was never a part of their lives, even when his mother passed away. Only then did he stop longing for his father.

He pushed these thoughts aside and took out the phone in Lu Ze’s pocket. “This is his biological father’s phone number, and the caller ID is his father. Is that enough?”

He did not memorize any number wrongly.

In other words, he held his ground.

The woman in the floral blouse was still in disbelief. She looked at the few men who were trembling and asked, “Is this person really his brother?”

Lu Ming looked at them like the shadow of death was looming over them.

The thin man pretended to be calm and nodded. “He… He is indeed Young Master Lu’s older brother.”

“However, they have the same father but different mothers. He was abandoned by CEO Lu and his new wife many years ago.”

The thin man added inwardly.

However, in terms of blood ties, he was not wrong. He looked carefully at Lu Ming. Seeing that he had retracted his gaze, he heaved a sigh of relief.

He did not want to be beaten up.

Especially when the other party’s fists were so hard.

Only an idiot would go against him.

At the thought of this, he looked at the delirious Lu Ze and sighed inwardly. He was afraid that he would throw a fit when he got back. Why did he bump into Lu Ming every time?

“Could it really be an arrangement by the heavens?”?he wondered.

He shivered and had goosebumps. The more he thought about it, the more terrible it seemed.

After receiving an affirmative answer, the woman in the floral blouse returned the identity card in her hand to Lu Ming with some embarrassment. She smiled awkwardly and said, “Sorry, sorry. So I misunderstood. I knew it. There was something wrong with your brother’s expression just now.”

Lu Ming did not say much in response to this.

“Don’t talk too much next time.”

He walked up to Lu Ze.

“And you? What do you have to say?”

“F*ck, crazy? I’m mentally sound, and you’re the one who’s f*cking crazy. What have you, the son of a lowly mother, got to do with me? You…” 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶

Lu Ze shouted arrogantly.

Lu Ming would not tolerate others insulting his mother.

Lu Ze did not finish speaking.

Lu Ming delivered a hard punch on his nose bridge.

“Ahhh—”

Lu Ze fell to the ground in pain.

Lu Ming punched him again and again until Lu Ze could not even raise his head.

It was not until Lu Ze had formed a reflexive fear of Lu Ming that he said incoherently, “You… You want to… do, what to me… Brother… I was wrong. You are my brother… Please let me off…”

After so many times, he was really scared.

Initially, he was shielded by his family background.

However, the current Lu Ming was not easy to bully. Even if Lu Ze wanted to attack him, his parents had to consider the current situation.

Since he was no match for Lu Ming, he could only endure the beating at his hands.

His biggest wish now was to never see Lu Ming again in this lifetime.

Lu Ming looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at a corpse. This made him shudder all over. His legs turned weak and he knelt on the ground. “Don’t, don’t kill me… Big Brother… As long as you’re willing to let me off… I, I’ll do anything…”

“I don’t need you to do anything.”

Lu Ming looked down at him and said, “Take your men and scram. Scram as far away as you can.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a few subordinates helped Lu Ze up as if they had been granted amnesty.

The mission was completed and Lu Ming was about to leave. However, he had only taken a few steps when he heard a clear female voice from behind. “… Brother Lu Ming?”

Brother Lu Ming.

It was as if the little girl in his memory was calling him.

It seemed that someone had once called him that, but he had forgotten who it was.

Lu Ming followed the voice. It was… Chu Jinyu.

The dispersed crowd looked at them again.

“Isn’t this plot reversal going a little too fast? Why are the scenes coming one after another? This is much better than watching a soap opera at home. Speaking of which, does this beauty know him? Why doesn’t he seem to know her?”

“Judging from the beauty’s reaction, they should know each other. I can’t even guess the plot. Could it be that the two of them used to date? Isn’t this a little too melodramatic?”

“I’m starting to wonder if this is all an act. Do you see any cameras? Maybe we can get on camera!”

“Mindblowing twists and turns to devour. I feel like I’ve watched a soap opera about a wealthy family’s feuds.”

…

Lu Ze and his underlings were also dumbfounded. Why did the lofty Chu Jinyu who looked down on everyone address Lu Ming so sweetly?

“No way!”?he thought.

He wondered if his new goddess was friends with Lu Ming.

Lu Ze clenched his fists and looked at Lu Ming’s confused expression.?“Am I thinking too much? Perhaps my goddess has gotten the wrong person,”?he thought.

“Miss Chu… Y-you know him? No… Could you be mistaken…”

He asked, feeling hopeful. He could not possibly let Lu Ming snatch the beauty who was associated with him.

A hint of annoyance flashed across Chu Jinyu’s eyes. “How could I be mistaken?”

She looked at Lu Ming with an agitated expression. A faint blush appeared on her face. “Brother Lu Ming, have you forgotten me?”

Lu Ming did not think he knew her.

He wondered how he could have forgotten her if he had seen her before.

Looking at Chu Jinyu’s face, Lu Ming felt that it was unfamiliar, yet familiar. He… Did he meet her somewhere?

But he could not think of anything.

Seeing that he still could not remember her, Chu Jinyu tied up her long hair and said with smiling eyes, “You used to call me Little Yu. You haven’t forgotten the promise we made six years ago, right? Brother Lu Ming.”

Looking at her exquisite face with the confident spirit between her brows, Lu Ming was momentarily stunned.

Speaking of Little Yu and the promise, memories suddenly flooded his mind.

Lu Ming did recall some things.

…

Back then, a new park was built near his house. After it was built, he could not wait to go out and play. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

But he did not play for long before he saw a few older children bullying a ‘boy’ with close-cropped hair. The ‘boy’ was clearly not their match, and ‘he’ was crying softly, “It hurts, it hurts…”

Lu Ming felt agitated and said, “Stop!”

The older children looked at Lu Ming. The taller one in the lead said, “Why? Do you want to be beaten up too? If you know what’s good for you, get lost! Otherwise, I will beat you up too!”

Lu Ming jumped off his seesaw. “You can only bully children who have yet to grow up, right? I want to see if you’re beating me or I’m beating you up!”

With that, he charged at them.

As he often carried heavy objects, he was stronger than his peers.

Hence, it was a piece of cake to fight four of them at once. He beat them up, leaving them with light injuries and crying, “I want to go back to mom!”

Lu Ming clicked his tongue lightly. He looked down and saw the adoration in the eyes of the ‘boy’. “As a boy, don’t you know how to stand up to bullies? They bully the weak and fear the strong. If they dare to bully you again, you throw things at them. Understand?”

The ‘boy’ wiped ‘his’ tears and said weakly, “… Understood. May I know your name?”

“Lu Ming.”

“My name is Chu Jinyu. Mom said that I was named after the Jinyu colored jade which emits an unusual brilliance. You can call me Little Yu. Can I call you Brother Lu Ming?”

The ‘boy’s’ eyes lit up as ‘he’ nervously grabbed the edge of his own shirt.

Lu Ming said nonchalantly, “Whatever. However, your name sounds like a girl’s.”

“I—I’m a girl.”

‘He’—no, she—said suddenly and shyly.

Lu Ming stood rooted to the ground and blurted out, “Are you joking?”

The person in front of him clearly had the face of a boy. Although ‘he’ was very delicate and pretty, ‘he’ did not look like a girl..
