Strongest Guard

Thinking of her aunt and uncle's supercilious looks, thinking of the little flowery cat she once had, thinking of her grandfather who was incredibly strict with her, but who actually loved her a lot — she thought of many things, but most of them were bitter.    

She thought that since her mother had left, she would never come back.    

Especially since she was exiled from her home, it was even less worth it for her to miss him here.    

But now, she had come back on her own accord.    

Yue Zitong slowly took off her sunglasses as she looked at the gatehouse with its ornamental painting in the depths of the alley. Her eyes were filled with a complicated expression.    

If she wasn't helpless, how could she have come back!    

But even if she had to come back, what use would it have? Would the Yue Clan agree to her request, seeing that she had the Yue Clan's bloodline on her body?    

Just as she was in a daze, a middle-aged woman walked over from behind her. She looked at her for a moment before asking in surprise, "Eh, you're Zitong?"    

"Ah, Aunt Wang, hello."    

Yue Zitong blinked as she looked at the woman and greeted her with a smile.    

She had worked here since she was young, and could be considered to have watched her grow up. She hurriedly put down the vegetable basket in her hands and held her hand. "When did you come back? Why didn't you go home?"    

Just as she finished speaking, Aunt Wang seemed to have thought of something. She quickly let go of her hand, smiled coyly and retreated a few steps.    

Aunt Wang was not very clear about Yue Zitong's current relationship with the Yue Clan, but she was known to be highly disliked. If the Yue Clan saw the two of them shaking hands and greeting each other, they would definitely take an opinion on Aunt Wang.    

Aunt Wang had worked here for so many years, but she had already become a part of the Yue Clan. Naturally, she didn't want to lose her job because of this, so she quickly looked into the alley and whispered, "Zitong, don't blame me …"    

"Aunt Wang, stop it." I know it. I won't blame you. "    

Yue Zitong shook her head and said with a smile, "Aunt Wang, do me a favor and tell my grandfather that I've come."    

"Old Master, he's no longer living here."    

"What?"    

Yue Zitong was stunned. "Where did my grandfather go?"    

Aunt Wang shook her head. "I don't know."    

Lao Yue's identity was extraordinary. After retiring from his position in Patriarch of Yue Family, he decided to stay out for the better. As for where he went, someone like Aunt Wang did not have the qualifications to know.    

"Who's at home now?"    

"Eldest Young Master."    

The Eldest Young Master that Aunt Wang spoke of was Yue Lincheng, the title he used to refer to himself as a young man.    

Yue Lincheng could be said to be the person Yue Zitong didn't want to see the most.    

Ever since he was young, he had always disliked Yue Zitong.    

It was him who, after hearing that Yue Zitong had betrayed the nation and thrown herself at the enemy far away in Mexico, before the dust could settle, had driven her out of his house in a hurry. In the end, it turned out to be a huge joke that even caused the entire Yue Clan to be looked down upon.    

It was still him who was ashamed and resentful of the humiliation Yue Zitong had brought him. Regardless of his status, he tried his best to suppress her. Yue Zitong did not have the slightest good impression of her uncle.    

"Zitong, do you want me to go in and inform you?"    

Seeing Yue Zitong's complexion fluctuate between green and white, and that she didn't speak for half a minute, Aunt Wang carefully asked.    

"Can I trouble Aunt Wang to tell my uncle that I want to see him and have something to discuss with him?"    

"Alright, wait a moment."    

Aunt Wang picked up the basket, walked a few steps and then thought of something, "Oh yeah, Zitong, today is your aunt's birthday, so there are a lot of guests at home. "I'm afraid …"    

Aunt Wang was worried about Yue Zitong, worried that she would be rejected by Yue Lincheng without any trace of politeness and let the customers see a joke.    

Yue Zitong didn't expect that today would be her aunt's birthday. She frowned and smiled, "It's fine."    

"Alright, wait a moment."    

Aunt Wang didn't say anything else, carrying the vegetable basket and quickly walked into the alley.    

In the Yue Clan's backyard, there were 7 or 8 tables set up. There were men and women, old and young, most of them were Yue Lincheng and his wife's friends, and there were even the descendants of Yue Clan's family.    

Holan Fusu and Lin Yiting were two of them.    

It could be seen that Lin Yiting and Brother Fusu had a very good relationship. As they sat together, the girl was still holding his arm and her face was filled with happiness.    

"Yiting, when are you going to get engaged to Young Master Fusu?"    

A round-faced girl looked at Holan Fusu in envy and jokingly asked.    

"Soon."    

Lin Yiting glanced at Holan Fusu from the corner of her eyes and replied with a sweet smile, "Yan, don't forget to come and bless me when the time comes."    

"That's only natural. Even if a knife were to fall from the sky, I would still go."    

Swallow raised his goblet and suggested, "Ladies and gentlemen, we would like to offer our blessings to Young Master Fusu and Yiting so that they can enter the wedding hall as soon as possible."    

"Alright!"    

"Right."    

All the youngsters at the table raised their cups and laughed softly, "This cup of wine must be dry to the brim. Whoever didn't know better was either thinking about Young Master Fusu or Yiting. Ha, haha, let's see who dares not to. "    

"Thank you everyone for your blessings."    

Holan Fusu smiled. When he raised his wine cup, he heard someone from the elders' seat curse: "Why is she here? Let her go, she's not in the Yue Clan! "    

Everyone looked over and saw Yue Lincheng, who was chatting happily with his family and friends a moment ago. He had a long face as he scolded a member of the family in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, go and tell her that the Yue family does not welcome her!"    

Who is it?    

Who's here?    

The attention of all the customers at the seven to eight tables was focused on Yue Lincheng's table.    

"Lin City."    

Madam Yue, who was sitting with Yue Lincheng, frowned slightly and secretly tugged on his clothes.    

Yue Lincheng was the head of the Yue Clan. Today, in front of so many guests, regardless of what happened, he should maintain his calm as the head of the Yue Clan.    

After being reminded by the Madam, Yue Lincheng realized that his bearing was not good enough. Being looked down on by the customer, he resented Yue Zitong even more, but on the surface, he had no choice but to endure it. He snorted lightly and slowly said to Aunt Wang: "Sister-in-law, just do as I say."    

Sister-in-law nodded. A light voice came from outside the moon gate, "If you have anything to say, just say it to me. No need to trouble Aunt Wang."    

Everyone turned their heads to look at the Moon Gate.    

Yue Zitong, who was wearing a white windbreaker, walked in with her hands in her pockets and an indifferent expression on her face.    

"Eh, who is this?"    

Someone who did not know her asked her companion softly, "How dare you trespass into the Yue Clan."    

"She is Yue Zitong, the girl who was kicked out of the Yue Clan's household."    

The companion replied in a lower voice: "Don't you know her? I was on the news a while ago. "    

"Oh, so it's her."    

Those who didn't know Yue Zitong all came to a realization.    

Lin Yiting didn't know Yue Zitong, but she had heard that Holan Fusu had been pursuing her for many years and had long regarded her as his biggest rival. He wanted to find an opportunity to compete with her and see who was more outstanding!    

Now, she finally saw Yue Zitong. Her eyes narrowed as she sneered in her heart, "Hehe, I thought such an outstanding woman, but she is only so outstanding. Besides being tall, beautiful and famous, how can she compare to me?"    

Out of the corner of his eyes, he looked at Holan Fusu again. He was also looking at Yue Zitong. He still wore the same indifferent smile that matched his identity. His eyes were calm, as if he just met an acquaintance.    

However, Lin Yiting could feel Brother Fusu's inner thoughts. He was far from being as calm as he appeared on the surface. This was because the moment Yue Zitong appeared, he subconsciously opened her right hand.    

This caused Lin Yiting and Xinn'er to suddenly jump. When she looked at Yue Zitong again, her eyes became much colder.    

"Who let you in?"    

Yue Lincheng never thought that Yue Zitong would dare to barge into the Yue Clan. Feeling that she was being provoked, rage rose in him.    

"I wanted to come in, so — I came in."    

When Yue Zitong's gaze swept across the crowd, she saw Holan Fusu and also the girl beside him. Her heart tightened and she quickly turned to look at Yue Lincheng.    

"Get out!"    

Yue Lincheng slammed the table again and shouted harshly: "Qingke, prepare to call the police and tell them that someone has trespassed into our house!"    

Call the police?    

Raid into a house?    

Hehe, is this really what Patriarch of Yue Family can say?    

Sigh, just an abandoned girl from the Yue family, and Yue Lincheng's performance, no matter if it was his temperament or everyone's demeanor, compared to Old Master Yue, was more than twice as good.    

While some people were thinking this in their hearts, Yue Zitong spoke up, "Agree to two conditions, and I'll leave immediately. I won't set even half a step into this house in the future!"    

Yue Lincheng laughed, "Ha, Yue Zitong, what are you talking about? Agree to two conditions? Who do you think you are? Why should I agree to this? "    

"My name is Yue Zitong."    

Yue Zitong slowly walked over. "Based on my father's name, it's Yue Linfong." Just like you, the Yue Clan's bloodline flows in my body. I've lived in this house for more than twenty years. Just because I was kicked out of the Yue Clan, the Yue Clan has to give me an explanation. "    

Yue Lincheng was stunned and didn't know how to reply.    

Only now did he realize that his niece was actually this eloquent. He had no way of responding to her words.    

"Yo, you still know that you're a member of the Yue Clan?"    

A harsh female voice came from the table beside him, "If you didn't say it, I would have forgotten. All these years, it seemed like you have only caused trouble for the Yue Clan outside. You have never contributed even a little to the Yue Clan. "    

The one who spoke was Yue Linchuan's wife, who also came from a wealthy family when she was young.    

Although she was not happy that Lao Yue had passed the position of Patriarch to Yue Lincheng, that was a conflict between the two brothers. When 'foreign enemies invade', they still had to unite.    

"Second Aunt, did I cause any trouble for the Yue Clan?"    

Yue Zitong looked at the woman and said calmly, "Second Aunt, please make it clear that it will be easier for me to make changes."    

"You …"    

Second Madam Yue was instantly speechless.    

She couldn't possibly say that after Yue Zitong had been misunderstood and had defected to the enemy, the impatient Yue Clan made a dragon out of thin air, causing her to lose face, right?    

Calm, you have to be calm. You can't let this little bitch anger you into losing face in front of others.    

Yue Lincheng thought like this, took a deep breath and slowly sat down: "Tell me your two requirements."    

Yue Zitong didn't want to stay here any longer, especially after seeing Holan Fusu. Since Yue Lincheng temporarily backed down by half a step, she also wanted to leave quickly. "First, ask the Yue Family to lend me a hundred million."    

Although everyone knew that the Yue Clan was secretly oppressing her, as long as she put forward this request, it would be equivalent to tearing off the last layer of cloth to hide their face, and Yue Lincheng would immediately fall out.
