The anchor I was supposed to meet turned out to be my student.

I pointed at myself in disbelief. This little cutie was actually trying to kick me out?

“That’s right, it’s your brother Hua!” Jiang Yan pointed at me and said decisively.

Everyone stared at Jiang Yanyi in astonishment.

"Am I wrong? It's because Brother Hua is here that the two sisters, who were originally best friends, have turned against each other, fighting over him and becoming enemies. If we kick Brother Hua out, then there will be nothing to argue about, and Sister Tongtong and Sister Xiaojun can get along well."

Jiang Yan's words made a lot of sense, so much so that Lu Xiaojun and Bi Antong couldn't refute them. However, they didn't want me to leave, so they were in a dilemma.

Jiang Yan put her hands together and said, "Sisters, stop arguing! I'll kick Brother Hua, the culprit, out right now!"

"That Yan Yi..." The two women hesitated, but didn't know how to stop her, because just as Jiang Yan Yi said, I was the source of the trouble.

Jiang Yanyi had already come up behind me and was pushing me hard with her little arms toward the door.

"Brother Hua, go away! You're the one who makes it impossible for us to live in peace. Get out of here..."

"Yan Yi, are you really going to kick me out? You're not kidding, are you?" I still couldn't believe it.

"That's exactly who I'm after..."

Jiang Yan used all her strength to urge me out. As I walked step by step toward the door, Lu Xiaojun and Bi Antong both opened their mouths slightly, as if they wanted to say something.

"Sister Xiaojun, Sister Tongtong, come and help us! As long as we get rid of this culprit, the five of us can have dinner in peace."

"Yan Yi...maybe we shouldn't send him away. The teacher hasn't eaten yet..."

"Although he is indeed the culprit, we should at least give him some food..."

Jiang Yan shook her head firmly and said, "No, as long as he's there, Sister Tongtong and Sister Xiaojun will start arguing again. He's like the igniter and catalyst in our chemistry exam today; he'll ignite and exacerbate the discord between the sisters. He's a rotten apple!"

I've become a rotten apple...

Gradually, under the gaze of Lu Xiaojun and Bi Antong, I was pushed out of the villa by Jiang Yanyi. And that wasn't all; she was going to push me out of the courtyard. Lu Xiaojun and Bi Antong rushed out, but Jiang Yanyi turned around and closed the villa door.

"Sisters, you guys make dinner first. I'll take care of this rotten apple and come right back."

boom!

Jiang Yan closed the door completely, and the rat dropping disappeared from the sight of the four women in the room.

In the courtyard, I stood there innocently, while Jiang Yan wiped away her sweat. It had indeed taken her a lot of effort to push me out.

"Hehe, as long as Brother Hua is out of their sight, they won't have anything to argue about~" Jiang Yan pulled him towards the courtyard.

"But your move is too much... it kills a thousand enemies but also hurts eight hundred of your own. I've already been kicked out..."

Jiang Yan stopped and turned to me, saying, "But there's no denying it works. Otherwise, you, Sister Xin Ning, and Sister Le Han wouldn't be able to stop those two from arguing, only I could..."

"But it can't be cured completely..."

Jiang Yan pouted unhappily: "At least it solved the immediate problem... Brother Hua is really something, not only does he not praise me, but he also finds fault with me... I'm not happy, I won't help you next time."

I quickly patted her head to comfort her, saying, "Yan Yi is the best, she deserves a lot of praise."

"Then I did a better job than Sister Xin Ning and Sister Le Han, right?" Jiang Yan smiled sweetly.

"Yes, you did the best job of mediating this fight!"

"Then... what about the reward?" Jiang Yan took a step forward.

I already know what reward Jiang Yanyi wants...

"Brother Hua must know what reward I want. Hurry up, otherwise they'll get suspicious if I go back late."

She closed her eyes. I glanced at the villa entrance and windows to make sure no one was around before quickly dabbing water on her forehead.

"Brother Hua, I feel so excited! Sister Xiaojun and Sister Tongtong would never guess that the man they were fighting over is kissing me. As the older sister, it feels like I stole the man from the other side of the river, like a third party benefiting from the conflict between two rivals!"

"Yan Yi, have you forgotten what you promised me? You can't say things like that!" I immediately put on a stern face.

"Tch, you're being mean to me again..." Jiang Yan puffed out her cheeks.

I poked her puffed-up mouth, which looked like a pufferfish's, and she pushed my hand away, looking very unhappy. She had clearly behaved her best today, but I had just scolded her.

"Brother Hua, get lost, we're having dinner." Jiang Yan urged me out of the courtyard.

I was very worried about her, so I pulled her behind a big banyan tree and comforted her by the hand.

"Yan Yi, please don't do this. Don't break your promise from yesterday, otherwise I'll really have a hard time facing you and your parents... I'll feel a strong sense of guilt..."

"Actually, you're just overthinking it... I'll be fully grown up soon, so just think of it as having a little girlfriend in advance..."

"Yan Yi!" I almost couldn't help but scold her again.

"Okay, okay, I know..." Jiang Yan turned her head away.

"You don't seem like someone who's sincerely keeping their promise at all..."

Jiang Yan said impatiently, "Brother Hua, you're so annoying with your nagging! If you keep going, I might really break all our promises. I'll play the recording of you promising to be my boyfriend for Dad! I'll make you take responsibility now! If you don't, he'll definitely punish you!"

"The recording clearly stated that I would only take responsibility for you if you couldn't find a boyfriend. How could you misinterpret it and use it to threaten me..."

"Hmph, I like it this way. Anyway, I'm going to have you completely under my thumb, Brother Hua. From now on, I'll keep my promise when I'm happy, but if you make me unhappy, I'll break the promise and do something outrageous to make you feel that guilt!"

"Yan Yi, that's not what you said yesterday. You clearly promised yesterday that you would keep your two-year promise..." I felt like I had been tricked.

"Brother Hua, don't you know that women are fickle? If you keep nagging, I'll break our promise and do something that will make you feel incredibly guilty and immoral."

"Yan Yi, if you keep ignoring me, I'm really going to get angry!" I said sternly.

"So what if you're angry? You can't get rid of me anyway... By the way, Brother Hua, what's it like going from being my dad's friend to my daughter's boyfriend? Pretty exciting, huh?"

"Jiang Yanyi, you!"

Jiang Yanyi, however, left behind a string of silvery laughter and fled back into the villa, leaving me with an overwhelming sense of guilt and immorality...

I fell for her trap. Maybe she didn't really intend to set me up like this yesterday, but she must have thought about it a lot before going to bed last night and finally decided to use it to blackmail me, because that way she could live more comfortably for the next two years without having to suppress her feelings.

It's just a pity I'll have to suffer from guilt... I'd better avoid provoking her in the future, otherwise if she gets upset and breaks our verbal agreement, I'll have a hard time facing her and Director Jiang...

Chapter 176, Section 681: Yan Yi's Arrogance (Third Update)

2021-04-01T08:36:21

As darkness fell and a cold wind swept in, I felt rather lonely, having been driven outside the villa. Jiang Yan didn't tell me when I could go back.

"Gu..."

And I'm hungry, I just finished exercising with Tongtong and I've had too much energy left.

I was hungry, which was bad enough, but I was also in a bad mood. Besides being bothered by the two female cats fighting, the main problem was Jiang Yanyi, that little devil. Her threats left me at a loss. If she could abide by our agreement, she could do whatever she wanted in two years. But if she wanted to move the timeline forward, I really didn't know how to explain it to her parents...

Sizzle.

My phone vibrated; it was a message from Jiang Yan. I thought she was asking me to come home for dinner first, but...

"Brother Hua seems to be troubled by my situation."

I looked up into the yard, where Jiang Yanyi was standing at the villa entrance. She stuck out her tongue at me before going inside.

At the same time, a message arrived.

"That's what's troublesome, you'd better get used to this kind of troublesome feeling quickly, because I might do something even more troublesome for you in the future, like... eating you~"

I can't believe that little girl would say something so embarrassing!

"Jiang Yanyi, are you crazy! How did you suddenly become like this!?" I replied immediately.

However, Jiang Yanyi did not reply to me immediately. She replied a while later on the 20th with a very long message.

"The reason I didn't dare to be honest with you before was partly because of Sister Yao Yao. But since you've decided to accept all the girls now, Sister Yao Yao will naturally accept me too. Also, I needed your help before—tutoring and persuading my parents to let me become an artist. So if I had been honest with you then, you would have been angry and wouldn't have helped me… But it's different now. I've learned everything you taught me, and I did really well on my exam today. After the results come out, my parents will definitely agree to let me become a trainee. That means you're no longer of any use to me, Brother Hua!"

After watching it, I was truly impressed by how cleverly Jiang Yanyi had planned her little scheme!

"Since you're no longer of any use to me, Brother Hua, there's nothing that can threaten me anymore. So why can't I just lay my cards on the table? Hua Tusheng, listen up, I'm going to chase you, chase you, chase you! I just like you, and I'm going to chase you. What can you do about it? I don't care if you're guilty or immoral, as long as I'm happy."

Jiang Yanyi seemed to have been holding it in for a long time, and she poured it all out at once. I was so angry that I burst out laughing. I was also charmed by her cuteness.

But I immediately straightened my expression and replied, "So you're going to kick me while I'm down, huh? If you're so capable, come out and say those things to my face!"

"Hmph, I'm not stupid. If I said that to your face, wouldn't you knock a hole in my head?"

Looking at the villa, I really wanted to rush in, drag that little girl out, and teach her a lesson. She was too unruly!

"Jiang Yanyi, don't let me catch you, or you're finished! I guarantee I'll spank you so badly you won't be able to sit on a chair the next day!"

"Brother Hua, I'm so scared~"

I can feel Jiang Yanyi's arrogance even through the screen; I really want to humiliate her!

"Don't be angry, Brother Hua. He's just sending you something as an apology... Wait a moment, I'm going upstairs~"

A short while later, Jiang Yan sent over several high-resolution photos, all of them beautiful pictures of her sitting on the bed with her legs curled up, wearing white stockings...

"Brother Hua, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? Hurry up and lick your fill, it smells delicious! I'm going to eat dinner now~"

That damned Jiang Yanyi!

"What, isn't licking your phone comfortable? I'll give you the real thing another day~"

And then he comes to finish me off!

I was so angry I wanted to smash my phone, but then I remembered, Ye Zhi gave it to me, I can't smash it...

……

I found a restaurant and was about to go in when Ye Zhi called me. I already knew what she was up to, but I hadn't eaten yet and didn't have the energy to work...

"Tusheng, where are you? Come to my house quickly. My dad and Aunt Xiao want you to come over for dinner."

It wasn't about that, but I still wanted to refuse, but as always, she had already hung up the phone.

I really didn't want to go because it would be so awkward. Although my help had improved the family's relationship, I was still seen as someone who had dragged his daughter into a love triangle in her father's eyes. Moreover, in their minds, Lu Xiaojun was my girlfriend. What would I do if Ye Zhi did something intimate with me in front of them?

I'm already struggling to deal with these girls, let alone their parents. That requires both of us to work together; I can't do anything alone.

I called Ye Zhi back.

"What's wrong, Tusheng?"
