Chapter 382

Chenye brought Yun Yan to a small alley next to the campus, where Wen Qing and the others were already waiting.

At first, Yun Yan was completely unaware. It was not until she saw so many people that she became a little nervous.

"Pei Chenye, who are they?" Yun Yan guardedly refused to come forward and turned to leave. "I...have to go back to class soon."

Before she could finish speaking, the boy behind Wen Qing quickly stepped forward to block her way. "Don't rush to leave, little sister. I heard you've been pestering Brother Pei quite a bit. You seem to have good taste, don't you? Now that you have the chance, why don't you seize it?"

"You look decent enough, but I don't see what's so calculating about such a young girl," another boy lazily draped his arm over the other's shoulder, deliberately exhaling a puff of smoke in Yun Yan's face. "Little girl, tell me, what are you trying to do? Isolating your sister while secretly clinging to her brother behind her back."

"That's not called isolation. I told you to study properly and you refused. That's why you have no culture," one of them said. "Or as Brother Pei nicely put it, it's spiritual control."

"So the next step is to make Sister Wanqing listen to you, then you can use her to achieve your own goals?" The boy exaggeratedly opened his mouth. "That's too creepy, even I'm scared listening to this as a guy!"

...

One after another, you exposed all of Yun Yan's little schemes.

She didn't dare move or speak, helplessly looking at Pei Chenye, who was not far away. "I didn't isolate Wanqing. I didn't intend to do anything either. Really. Wanqing and I are good friends, Pei Chenye, you know that. Wanqing probably doesn't know that you bullied me, right? She will be angry if she finds out."

"Oh my, Wanqing probably doesn't know that you bullied me, she will be angry..." The boy imitated her tone of voice and continued. Suddenly his face changed and he pushed her shoulders hard, shoving her directly to the wall. "Listen to how cleverly she puts it. I bet you've used this trick many times to take advantage of others."

It was only then that Chenye walked over and stopped the boy who was about to hit her. His gaze was cold. "There's no point in saying too much. Yun Yan, you need to understand one thing. My sister is not someone you can control, nor is she one of those fools you've turned against each other. If you dare to bully my little princess, the Pei family's precious daughter, I can make it so your whole family can no longer survive here. Everyone has to pay the price for their actions. My parents taught me since I was little not to cause trouble outside, but that doesn't mean my family can be bullied. When Pei Chenye says something, I will deliver. If you don't believe me, feel free to give it a try!"

"I didn't do anything. You're framing me, bullying me! Pei Chenye, so many boys ganging up to bully one girl, aren't you afraid of being mocked by others?" Yun Yan cried out angrily.

Chenye sneered. The boy behind him spoke again, "Little girl, can't even handle such a small scene? You probably don't even know what real bullying means."

Chenye's smile disappeared and his whole demeanor turned cold. He grabbed Yun Yan by the collar and easily lifted her whole body up. Under her terrified gaze, he clenched his hand into a fist, the bones cracking.

"Don't...don't hit me. I won't do it again...I'm sorry, please..." Yun Yan sobbed, her legs gone soft as her whole body trembled uncontrollably from fear.

Chenye let her go and she plopped down on the ground.

"I won't touch you today, but from now on, stay away from my sister and don't go to my house again. Otherwise, next time, my fist will smash into you."

After Chenye and Wen Qing left, one of the boys who had come with them squatted in front of Yun Yan. "Little girl, quite calculating but not very smart. Do you know what kind of family my Brother Pei comes from? They just keep a low profile, not fools. It's a pity for those who mistake them for fools. Seeing as you look decent, let brother give you a piece of advice: start packing your bags."

Even with some schemes in mind, Yun Yan was only 14 years old after all. Moreover, she did not openly and blatantly bully others. Usually, even if things reached the adults, most would choose to endure and swallow their anger, only urging their own children to stay away from her.

But this time, she had kicked an iron plate.

Pei Chenye never felt Wanqing should be overly protected. There are all kinds of things in life. Children who lack worldly wisdom are indeed simpler and happier, but they are also just as easily crushed by the slightest winds and rains, setbacks breaking them down. That’s what he thought, but when someone actually bullied his sister, he could not just sit idly by either. Although Pei Chenye was still young, his savings exceeded that of many middle-income families, thanks to his money-earning mother, his father who could still provide them shelter, as well as his grandmother’s side of the family who were very generous to them. In time, their savings had naturally accumulated.

He did not usually like spending money or showing off his wealth, but since he had called on people today for help, he had to give them the proper status.

As soon as they entered the luxury private room of the Glorious Hotel, they received the Young Master treatment.

Wen Qing was still a little worried. He quietly pulled Chenye aside and whispered, “Chenye, won’t your aunt scold you for being so extravagant?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll just say I brought you here to eat. My mom won’t be so petty as to get angry over you having a meal,” Chenye said.

“You brat!” Wen Qing was exasperated yet amused by him. He went forward and put his arm around Chenye’s shoulder. “Brother will make use of you, but in the future when I come here to eat, I’ll have to use your name. After all, it would be too much of a waste not to take full advantage of the Young Master status.”

“You might as well use my mother’s name instead. It’ll be even more useful. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind giving her nephew some special privileges either,” Chenye joked.

Wen Qing hurriedly shook his head. “Let’s forget about that. I don’t want to get lectured by my mother when I get home.”

“That reminds me, one of your classmates has a father who works in the textile factory, right?” Chenye suddenly said upon remembering.

As soon as Wen Qing heard that, he understood his intention. “Doesn’t your uncle work there too? Why not make use of his connections instead?”

“Better not. My parents don’t even know about this. Help me get in touch with that classmate of yours. Let’s handle it quietly,” because Pei Jing had told him more than once that he could not abuse his family’s position to bully others.

Even though Yun Yan provoked first, punishing the parents for the child’s deeds would be going too far. Wanting to secretly get her father fired from the textile factory was somewhat unethical.

However, after everything Yun Yan had done, he definitely could not let this girl remain here.

He would be going to the capital next year, but Wanqing would still be here. There is no defending against a thief with inexhaustible patience. Even if he believed Wanqing would not fall for her tricks, he was still unwilling to leave a ticking time bomb beside his sister.
