Chapter 55: Hard to control

Recently, the ambiance that loomed over at home has been very unpleasant.Han YunXi could sense the palpable tension in the air.

Although her mother and Han ShuYi were always together, they were the only ones who were close.

Her father appeared upset with her mother, likely due to lingering bitterness from their previous argument. What stood out was her mother's inability to refute him.

In this matter, she also felt that her mother had gone too far.

Publicly announcing the annulment of the engagement without prior discussion with HuMing was disrespectful. It could have been handled more privately.

Lee Tian now had stirred up quite a disturbing incident before the announcement.

Despite the confirmation that Lee Tian and his wife would not divorce due to their family alliances, the situation remained taut.

If it had been her, Han YunXi would never have accepted this and would have felt relieved that HuMing and LiYue had canceled their engagement.

But the one who would take over was her biological brother.

It felt like a dilemma.

As for HuMing?

Han YunXi glanced in the direction of Hu Ming's room. Since that day, he hadn't spoken much to the family.

During dinner, he wasn't at the table.

Even though she could still catch glimpses of him at school, he appeared to want to distance himself from them after that incident.

'It's all the Lee family's fault!'

Han YunXi pouted, turned, and walked toward her room.

In HuMing's room:

HuMing was lying on the bed, resting. Meanwhile, KangXin diligently worked on a test paper at his desk.

The test was given by Ye QiuXue. Although they were a bit difficult for KangXin, they provided an excellent opportunity for her to improve.

KangXin's brow furrowed as her pen glided swiftly across the draft paper.

But halfway through, she abruptly halted as if she had hit a bottleneck.

"Young Master, I can't solve this question."

HuMing hopped up from the bed as soon as the words sounded. He walked behind KangXin, bending slightly and leaning against her back.

KangXin appeared accustomed to HuMing's near presence, as her expression remained unchanged.

"Think about it. Could it be that you have to use a different formula here?"

HuMing held her hand and guided it to write the formula on the draft paper.

KangXin's attention was briefly drawn away from HuMing's explanation by his actions. HuMing's hand covered hers, and the warmth it transmitted was comforting.

However, she couldn't understand why HuMing was going to such lengths to teach her these things. Wasn't he afraid that she might run away after learning them?

"Do you understand now?"

HuMing paused and placed his hands on his waist, waiting for KangXin's response.

KangXin slowly lifted her hair, unveiling her delicate face hidden beneath the dark locks.

"Young Master, I will repay you!"

"...Why are you suddenly saying such things?"

"Nothing."

The girl hid her face again and continued by using the formula HuMing had just taught her, diligently writing her answers on the test paper. 

......

At school, Li Yue now takes a detour whenever she sees HuMing.

After what happened last time, she truly didn't have the face to meet HuMing again.

Unfortunately, HuMing and Han ShuYi were in the same class, so she would see HuMing whenever she went to find Han ShuYi.

This made her feel somewhat disheartened.

However, this was the path she had chosen so she couldn't hold anyone else responsible.

"LiYue?"

Han ShuYi called out to LiYue, who seemed lost in thought on the road. Upon hearing Han ShuYi's voice, LiYue returned to her senses, a smile lit up her face as she hurriedly made her way towards Han ShuYi.

"ShuYi, let's go home together after school today?"

"Today might not be possible. After school, I have an important matter to attend to." Han Shuyi said with a troubled expression.

Hearing this, LiYue quickly waved her hand and said, "Forget it if you are busy. But let's go out shopping together this weekend."

"Alright."

Han ShuYi nodded in agreement and gently patted LiYue on the head as if to make amends.

LiYue's heart melted when she saw Han ShuYi smile at her. She felt as if she was enchanted.

But once LiYue left, Han ShuYi's smile vanished, replaced by a cold, piercing gaze fixed upon LiYue's leaving figure.

He would never forget the humiliation caused by Lee Tian. If not for him, even if others found HuMing pitiful that night, he would still be the main character.

But to think that something unexpected like that would happen!

Han ShuYi clenched his fists in anger. However, he soon turned around and walked towards the student council.

All student council members were expected to attend the meeting that took place today. Han ShuYi, being one of the members, naturally had to make an appearance.

Thinking of this matter, Han ShuYi also remembered how close HuMing and Ye QiuXue were.

He didn't understand why they were so close, and more importantly, Ye QiuXue appeared to care a lot about HuMing. It wasn't a big deal, but he didn't like it.

He entered the meeting room and looked around. Ye QiuXue was sitting in the most prominent position, flipping through documents.

He had to admit that if not for Ye QiuXue's personality, he could have been captivated by this woman. Ye QiuXue was both attractive and capable at work, making her a desirable pursuit target in the eyes of many.

However, Han ShuYi did not consider her a good choice because such a woman was difficult to control.

"Is everyone here?!"

Ye QiuXue's voice cut through everyone's voices, and instantly, the meeting room fell silent.

She looked around and continued.

"I've reviewed the submitted proposals, and hardly any are acceptable."

"Did any of you consider the budget, venue, and time?"

"If you could handle everything yourself, I would not have a problem. But do you have that capability?

Ye QiuXue's tone was cold, and those present didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

"This time, the school expects us to submit a reasonable report to external leaders. So, don't set high goals or take on unrealistic tasks."

"Improve your suggestions, and then we'll talk about it further. The meeting is over!"

Saying so, Ye QiuXue gathered the documents before her and walked straight out.

And after she left, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had held their breath, afraid of provoking Ye QiuXue's anger.

Some people wanted to see others' submissions but were refused.

Many proposals were indeed too outlandish. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As soon as she left the room, Ye QiuXue checked her wristwatch. It was already half an hour past noon, and she still hadn't eaten lunch and needed to go tutor HuMing.

Just then, Han ShuYi called out to her from behind.

"President, please wait!"
