"How could there possibly be a commotion? I guarantee Zheng Dahan will never tell anyone..." Yang Ming said.

"What makes you so sure? You're not Zheng Dahan..." Aunt Liu said.

"I can guarantee that Zheng Dahan isn't a bad person. He actually respects you more than anything else. He would never do anything to hurt you..." Yang Ming said.

"You're making Zheng Dahan sound like he's some kind of saint..." Aunt Liu said, pursing her lips.

"This Zheng Dahan, don't let his looks fool you, he's not as good-looking as my husband, his character is far inferior to my husband's, and his wealth is incomparable, but he's still quite good. You should think about it this way: how many people in this world can compare to my husband?" Wei Qingqing said smugly.

"Yes, our husband is indeed the best in the world..." Aunt Liu said with a smile.

"He's my husband, it has nothing to do with you..." Wei Qingqing was helpless against Liu Sao's shamelessness.

"You're so stingy, as if I'm going to fight you for it..." Aunt Liu rolled her eyes at Wei Qingqing, then rested her head on Yang Ming's chest again.

"Then stay away from my husband..." Wei Qingqing said angrily.

"No way..." Aunt Liu said happily.

"Alright, alright, I'll soak a little longer, then I'll go find Zheng Dahan. You two can fight again after I leave..." Yang Ming said.

"Are you annoyed with us???" Wei Qingqing raised herself up with some dissatisfaction, glaring at Yang Ming.

"No, how could I dare?" Yang Ming said.

"Is it that you don't know how or you're afraid?" Aunt Liu also stood up and looked at Yang Ming.

"No... absolutely not..." Yang Ming felt the pressure.

"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you..." Wei Qingqing narrowed her eyes and chuckled.

That laugh sent chills down Yang Ming's spine.

"Good boy..." Aunt Liu patted Yang Ming's cheek with her soft, white hand and said with a smile.

"Tch..." Yang Ming rolled his eyes, but his muscles were already relaxed. He was comfortably soaking in the pool, slowly dispelling the cold from his body.

While Yang Ming was taking a bath, Wei Qingqing went to talk to Liu Sao on the side. Wei Qingqing was extremely jealous. Gu Pan had feelings for Yang Ming, which made Wei Qingqing torment her. However, she wasn't jealous of Liu Sao. This wasn't surprising. Although Liu Sao and Yang Ming seemed very close, in reality, there was a huge distance between them. If there was one woman in the world who posed no threat to her, it was undoubtedly Liu Sao. The two of them had walked on parallel lines.

"Hiss..." Yang Ming took a comfortable breath, slowly sat up, stretched, stood up, and went into the wooden house to change his clothes.

"You two can take your time soaking in the bath here. I'm going to have a good talk with Zheng Dahan..." Yang Ming said as he came out of the wooden house, fully dressed.

The two women completely ignored him and simply soaked comfortably in the hot spring.

Yang Ming felt a little embarrassed, then quickly walked out of the hot spring valley, out of the back garden, and into the public hot spring.

"Stop pretending to be dead now that you're awake..." Yang Ming squatted by the pool, watching Zheng Dahan lying at the bottom, his brows sometimes relaxing, sometimes furrowing, clearly quite unsettled. "To have those kinds of thoughts about your sister-in-law, you really dare to think like that..."

"Brother Yang, are you here to laugh at me?" Zheng Dahan said calmly without opening his eyes.

"I'm mocking you? What right do I have to mock you? What qualifications do I have to mock you???" Yang Ming sneered. "I admire your courage for daring to defy the world..."

"Brother Yang, you know I haven't had much formal education, so don't talk to me in such flowery language..." Zheng Dahan said.

"Pretentious? I don't think so. It's just a very ordinary sentence..." Yang Ming's tone was full of sarcasm: "Looks like I'm still a pretty cultured person. Cultured people are definitely better than illiterate people..."

"Brother Yang, just say what you have to say..." Zheng Dahan's voice remained calm, but if you listened carefully, you could hear a slight tremor in his voice. Clearly, Yang Ming's words had not been ineffective.

"Then I'll be frank with you, you're not good enough for Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu is so beautiful, how could you possibly be worthy of her?" Yang Ming's tone was full of disdain. "Aunt Liu is a swan, you're not even a toad. I hope you can completely put away those little thoughts of yours..."

"..." Zheng Dahan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with anger. Yang Ming's words were really hurtful.

"What, you're not convinced???" Yang Ming revealed a mocking smile.

"Hmph..." Zheng Dahan suddenly sneered, a ferocious look appearing on his face. "But, the child in your sister-in-law's belly is my son..."

"Your son???" Yang Ming sneered even more. "Are you dreaming? The child in Aunt Liu's belly is mine... You idiot... Aunt Liu is such a clever person, would she let her mother-in-law manipulate her? What are you thinking???"

Zheng Dahan's face turned deathly pale, and he suddenly roared frantically, "I... I don't believe it... I don't believe it..."

"What don't you believe??? Do you know who that doctor is? She's Aunt Liu's cousin. Do you know how much it costs to have that kind of surgery? Tens of thousands! How much did you pay??? Huh???" Yang Ming further attacked Zheng Dahan.

"..." Zheng Dahan's face was extremely pale. When he heard Yang Ming mention the surgeon and the cost of the surgery, he finally stopped doubting. Yes, he should have thought of it long ago. How could his third uncle and aunt possibly afford the cost of a surgery? Let his sister-in-law pay for it? That was absolutely absurd.

"How about it? Have you given up yet???" Yang Ming sneered.

"I've given up, I've given up..." Large tears welled up in Zheng Dahan's eyes.

"It's good that you've given up. From now on, don't have any more thoughts about Aunt Liu, understand? She's not someone you're good enough for..." Yang Ming said.

"I know...I know..." Zheng Dahan murmured first, then suddenly roared.

"Good to know..." Yang Ming sneered. "Also, today, you jumped into the ice hole to save me, and I'm not grateful at all. On the contrary, you made me suffer twice..."

"Tell me, tell me... what do you want me to do? I don't want to owe you anything..." Zheng Dahan was somewhat hysterical.

"What do I want you to do? Hmph, do I even need to say it???" Yang Ming's sneer deepened. "I'm warning you, I'm not afraid you'll tell Aunt Liu's mother-in-law about our conversation today."

"Am I that kind of person???" Zheng Dahan was furious, his big eyes staring intently at Yang Ming, his gaze filled with blood-red spiderwebs.

"You can know a person's face but not their heart. How would I know what kind of person you are?" Yang Ming glanced disdainfully at Zheng Dahan. "Who would have thought that someone who seemed so honest and kind could have such a filthy and evil heart?"

"You can insult me, but you can't insult my sister-in-law..." Zheng Dahan stared at Yang Ming, gritting his teeth.

"Tch, I told you, but you dragged your sister-in-law into this. Don't you have any shame?" Yang Ming chuckled coldly again.

"You..." In Zheng Dahan's heart, Aunt Liu was the most sacred and noble. He would not allow any derogatory term to be associated with his sister-in-law.

"What did I do??? Let me tell you, the child in Liu's belly is mine, it's my child, Yang Ming's child. After it's born, it will definitely have the surname Yang, and its name will definitely be registered on our family's household registration. So, you'd better not appear in front of Liu's belly again, lest she feel disgusted when she sees you, and it will affect the child in her belly..." Yang Ming said.

"I know..." Zheng Dahan clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. His mind was completely blank. He didn't know why he was like this—was it humiliation, or the shattering of hope?

"Good to know..." Yang Ming gave Zheng Dahan a cold smile, a deep sneer flashing in his eyes. "Hmph, useless piece of trash. You're destined to be a bachelor your whole life. Your family line will inevitably end with you. I'm sure your parents will be proud to have a son like you..."

"You've gone too far..." Zheng Dahan's face turned red and his neck thickened, with veins bulging on his forehead. He roared angrily at Yang Ming like a wild beast.

"Am I going too far? I'm just stating a fact that's about to happen..." Yang Ming sneered.

"..." Zheng Dahan stared intently at Yang Ming. At this moment, he wished he could bite Yang Ming to death, to bite to death this elder brother he had always respected.

It turns out, you can really only know a person's face but not their heart. It turns out, he had this side to him...

Zheng Dahan was completely disappointed in Yang Ming. A thought even began to form in his mind: to let his sister-in-law see Yang Ming's true colors and recognize his true character...

"Why are you staring at me???" Yang Ming met Zheng Dahan's gaze without backing down. "Are you trying to bite me??? Are you trying to make Aunt Liu see my true colors? Let me tell you, even if Aunt Liu knew this side of me, what could she do? Do you know where she slept last night? She slept in our house, and in my bed..."

"You beast..." Zheng Dahan was like a mad bull, trying to struggle up and beat Yang Ming up, but alas, his arms and legs were sore, numb and cold, and he couldn't move them at all. If he moved his hands and feet, they would be sore and numb.

"Beast? We're in love..." Yang Ming smiled 'gently'. "Besides, she's not a virgin who doesn't care about status, hehehe..."

"What? Are you feeling resentful???" Yang Ming laughed silently, his smile revealing endless malice.

"If I have the chance, I will kill you..." Zheng Dahan said hatefully.

"Kill me? On what grounds? Because I got your sister-in-law? For you or for your dead brother?" Yang Ming laughed, completely unconcerned about Zheng Dahan's death threat.

"For my sister-in-law, and for my brother..." Zheng Dahan said.

"Hypocritical, so hypocritical..." Yang Ming pointed at Zheng Dahan without any politeness. "I can believe it's for Sister Liu, but to say it's also for your brother is just too hypocritical, isn't it? For your brother, you got your sister-in-law pregnant???"

"You're talking nonsense, I didn't do it, you did it..." Zheng Dahan said angrily.

"Oh, I did it, so I deserve to die, right???" Yang Ming said slowly.

"Yes, you deserve to die..." Zheng Dahan said, his eyes red.

"Isn't that a bit much? I got your sister-in-law pregnant, so I deserve to die. But before, you thought you were the one who got her pregnant, so why didn't you commit suicide? Isn't that a bit too shameless? Just because others deserve to die doesn't mean you're above it all?" Yang Ming said with amusement.

"I..." Zheng Dahan's face turned ashen, and he looked ashamed.

"Stop with the 'I-I-I'..." Yang Ming stretched. "Remember, a swan isn't something you can eat. You don't even have the right to look up to her."

"Brother Yang, aren't you going too far???" The door was pushed open, and Zheng Dazhuang barged in from outside.

"Too much? What's too much? Zheng Dazhuang, you should get some rest. You still have some hard work to do tonight..." Yang Ming looked at Zheng Dazhuang and sneered.

"What kind of work could I possibly have?" Zheng Dazhuang asked, looking somewhat flustered.

"What kind of work is it? Of course, it's fetching water for Teacher Wang..." Yang Ming sneered.

"I...I...I..." Zheng Dazhuang blushed.

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean'? Get out of here right now! Otherwise, I'll have Aunt Liu broadcast this over the loudspeaker..." Yang Ming glared and said.

With a "whoosh," Zheng Dazhuang escaped.

"What happened to Dazhuang?" Zheng Dahan asked in surprise.

"It's nothing, Zheng Dahan. How about this? As long as you promise me that you will never see your sister-in-law again, and that you will never mention your love for her to anyone else, especially your parents, how about that??? You know, your parents are getting old, can they handle such a shock..." Yang Ming smiled sinisterly.

"You're despicable..." Zheng Dahan roared in fury.

"Despicable? I was just warning a toad to stay away from the swan..." Yang Ming said.

The headquarters of Yingning Hotel, located in the city, is bustling with people every day. A large portion of these people come for the fresh milk, not for a meal.

"What time is it? Why isn't Zhang Yingning out yet?" A thin man paced back and forth in the hotel lobby with a gloomy expression.

"Mr. Liu, please sit down..." A young woman in her early twenties tugged at the thin man's sleeve and said timidly.

"Sit down, I'm not tired..." the thin man said impatiently.

"Who is Zhao Guoshu?" Suddenly, a beautiful woman in a black business suit walked out and called out to the people in the hall.

"I am... I am..." Immediately, a middle-aged man with a briefcase tucked under his arm stepped forward and said.

"Our manager wants to see you..." the beautiful woman said.

"Thank you, young lady. On behalf of all the teachers and students of our school, thank you..." Zhao Guoshu bowed repeatedly to the woman.

"You're welcome..." The beautiful woman smiled slightly, intending to lead Zhao Guoshu upstairs, but...

"Didn't you say your boss wasn't here???" The thin man, who had appeared out of nowhere, blocked their way. "Why are you lying?"

"Sir, I'm not lying to you. Our boss is indeed not here, only the manager is here..." the pretty woman said.

"Then take us to your manager..." the thin man said.

"I'm sorry..." the pretty woman smiled apologetically, "Our manager is very busy?"

"How busy is he? Does he have time to see this poor wretch but not us?" the thin man said angrily, pointing at Zhao Guoshu.

Zhao Guoshu never expected that this man would turn his anger towards him so brazenly. His face flushed red, and he was furious.

"Excuse me, sir, it's our manager's prerogative to see whomever he wants, and we have no right to interfere..." The pretty woman also felt that the thin man's words were too hurtful and unpleasant, so she couldn't help but say.

"Tell him I am Shougang's representative..." the thin man said in a deep voice.

"Shougang Group???" The pretty woman's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery. "I'm sorry, but today our boss is only meeting with representatives from schools, not from factories or other businesses. You may have come all this way for nothing..."

"Are you kidding me???" The skinny man immediately flew into a rage, yelling at the beautiful woman.

"Excuse me, I don't know how you got in, but our manager only saw the school's representative today..." The pretty woman waved to the lobby, and a doorman immediately came up.

"What exactly happened? Who let the company representatives in?" the pretty woman asked.

"No, ma'am, we didn't let any company representatives in..." the doorman said.

"What's wrong with him?" the pretty woman asked, pointing at the thin man.

"Him??? He said he was a representative from Shougang Factory High School..." The doorman was confused. The instructions were that only school representatives were being received today. Did that mean the factory's affiliated schools weren't included?

"I see..." The beautiful woman nodded slightly, waved to the doorman, and said, "You may go..."

The doorman responded and returned to his post.

"I think everyone knows why you've come to our hotel today. However, I hope we can all sit down calmly and communicate politely..." The pretty woman glanced at everyone, her gaze lingering on the thin man's face for a moment before turning to Zhao Guoshu. "Mr. Zhao, the manager has been waiting for some time. Let's go upstairs now..."

"Alright..." Zhao Guoshu recovered and quickly calmed down his anger, then left with the beautiful woman.

"You...you believe I'll smash up this lousy shop???" The skinny man was furious when he saw that the beautiful woman was being so rude.

The beautiful woman stopped and turned around. Without even glancing at the thin man, she called out, "Security, show him out..."

Immediately, two burly security guards rushed over, grabbed the thin man without saying a word, and headed outside.

"What do you want to do???" The skinny man had quite a temper, roaring angrily.

"Where are you taking our CEO Liu???" The girl who was with the thin man hurriedly followed him out.

"We've already wasted a lot of time, let's go inside, don't keep the manager waiting..." the pretty woman said to Zhao Guoshu.

So, the pretty woman took Zhao Guoshu to see the manager.

"That's outrageous... Asking for a favor and acting this arrogantly, does Shougang have no one else? Sending someone like this..."

"That guy's words were so offensive, like a thug. No wonder they kicked him out..."

Actually, these people were representatives from schools in the surrounding cities. How many of those school representatives are wealthy? You could say that when that skinny man insulted Zhao Guoshu, he was actually insulting them all. No wonder they couldn't possibly have a good attitude.
