Chapter 22 - Flashback: Their First Meeting

But, how would Yu Yan stay silent when her husband is bullied? She glanced in their direction and arched her eyebrows. "It's late at night and you brats are dressed so lightly. There's even smell of wine from you. Before talking bad about other people, how about you all look at yourself in the mirror and see if you're worthy enough? You're all just some underage brats who didn't even follow the law."

The first girl was stumped by Yu Yan's words as her cheek flushed red. The man beside her was unwilling to see his woman at disadvantage. He quickly stepped in, "What do you know, Auntie, don't spout nonsense!"

"Nonsense?" Yu Yan sneered. She had once young too! (Wait, it didn't mean that she was already old, but she had long passed her teenage age) How could she not know what they were doing?

"Ask yourself whether you have truly drank wine or not. Do you really think that you can hide the smell just because you've been walking around like that? Not to mention, there's stain on your girl's clothes."

"You…"

"Before you start talking, assess yourself first! Also, don't spout nonsense without any facts backing it out. If you're already in the workplace, you'll be isolated if your colleagues know you're prioritizing rumors rather than facts."

Yu Yan looked at the group of children harshly. "You're just children, but don't think that people will always give in to you just because of your young age."

"You…"

"What? I'm only giving you wakeup call so that you can stop acting smug just because of your age. Do you really think that other people will feel pity when they see that you're still teenagers?"

Yu Yan sneered. Contrary to that, those who really wanted to take advantage of them would be happy for their naivety and inexperience. "Don't look down on adults and act grown up when you didn't know how the world actually work."

The four of them didn't know what to say. They were angry but they couldn't find any word to retort and could only leave. In their eyes, Yu Yan was nothing more than a bully that they couldn't fight back using words.

However, one of them was actually began to contemplate what Yu Yan was telling them. It was true that they were young and they thought that because of this, they could do whatever they wanted without the need to care about the repercussion.

But how wrong that statement would be!

They were indeed young but those who wanted to take them down would instead feel gleeful because they didn't know anything about the world.

"Let's go!" The woman snorted and pulled her boyfriend hand. She felt humiliated today.

The man still wanted to defend his wife but how could he face against the angry Yu Yan? He was clearly not a match against her rapid fire words.

"Hmph! We'll not argue with you anymore. You…"

"What? You're saying that you're not wrong? Just how old are you, Brats? Do you think that walking around like this is the best option to show how great you are? If you're really so great you don't have to purposely show off like this."

"Ugh…"

"Stop it."

The other boy also pulled his friend. They were indeed in the wrong and if their parents were alarmed about this matter, they would be grounded.

"Let's go. What if our parents know what we're doing today?"

"Uh…"

The rest also looked at each other and noticed that there were other people who were looking in their direction. It seemed that they would not be able to get away should one of them called their parents.

With red face, they quickly left.

They didn't want to get into trouble.

Yu Yan snorted when she saw them. They were all clearly only trying to take advantage of the fact that they already looked like an adult when in truth, they were all still students.

Long Ying watched as his wife defended him as his smile deepened. He grabbed her hand when he saw the children leaving. "It's enough, you'll scare them."

"Hmph, I just hate bullies like them." Yu Yan snorted.

"Yan'er."

"Yes?"

"Do you know that a man would not like a girl to stand before him to protect him?" Long Ying's eyes flashed.

Yu Yan was stunned. This sentence…

At that moment, she could faintly recall the first week, the matriculation week, when she came to High School back then.
