Qiao Pengyu saw that Shen Yunyun wasn't concerned about him, her elder brother, but instead cared about a man who had just laid hands on him, and he grew even angrier.
"Yunyun, who is he?"
"Mister, are you hard of hearing? Yunyun just said, 'None of your damn business!'"
"I'm her elder brother. This is a family matter of the Qiao family. Please don't interfere."
"Ha? Elder brother? Yunyun goes by Shen now, she has nothing to do with the Qiao family. Have you forgotten how you treated Yunyun? If you keep pestering her, don't blame me for being rude!"
Though Tang Yu didn't know what his aunt had been through, he was definitely on her side.
Since his aunt didn't acknowledge this so-called elder brother, he certainly wouldn't indulge him.
They must have wronged his aunt; otherwise, she wouldn't have disowned them and even changed her surname.
Qiao Pengyu's face turned pale and flushed, utterly ugly.
Tang Yu, not satisfied with just provoking Qiao Pengyu, boldly draped his arm over Shen Yunyun's shoulder, lifting his chin slightly in a show of dominance.
Qiao Pengyu's eyes reddened with rage as he glared at Shen Yunyun. "Come here."
Shen Yunyun shot him a disdainful look, then turned to Tang Yu and said, "Let's go inside and talk."
"Sure."
As they walked toward the courtyard, Qiao Pengyu swung a punch at Tang Yu.
Caught off guard, Tang Yu took the hit, then pushed Shen Yunyun aside, cracking his knuckles.
"Stay back," he ordered before charging at Qiao Pengyu, and they started brawling.
They exchanged blows back and forth, and Shen Yunyun couldn't tell who was stronger. She didn't dare step in to break it up, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.
"If you keep this up, I won't hesitate to call the police."
Hearing this, Tang Yu landed a punch on Qiao Pengyu's face and quickly retreated to Shen Yunyun's side.
"You okay?"
"I'm fine. I'm tough."
Their casual conversation, as if no one else was there, only made Qiao Pengyu feel more stifled.
He was the one hurt, he was hurt, okay?
But watching Shen Yunyun pull Tang Yu into the courtyard without even glancing back at him, he felt even more wronged.
In that moment, he finally realized that Yunyun truly didn't want them anymore.
Not even him, her elder brother.
How could she be so petty, so unable to accept Shiyue?
Shiyue had suffered outside for twenty years, while Yunyun had lived a life of luxury as the Qiao family's daughter for twenty years. Why couldn't she tolerate Shiyue?
Did they have to send Shiyue away for her to come home?
No, he couldn't betray Shiyue.
Inside the room, Tang Yu said to Shen Yunyun, "Aunt, don't worry. I'll protect you. They won't dare do anything to you."
Shen Yunyun smiled. "Thank you. Sorry for the trouble."
"What's there to be sorry about? You're our Tang family's aunt. Protecting the aunt is every Tang family member's duty."
Shen Yunyun couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Saying it like that, being an aunt doesn't sound so bad."
"Of course not."
Shen Yunyun asked, "What brings you here today?"
Tang Yu remembered the real reason for his visit and quickly said, "I had those two bottles of pills tested. They're indeed miraculous medicine.
Yesterday, I sold one Beauty Pill and three Longevity Pills, each for a million. Here's a check for four million."
He pulled out the cashier's check and showed it to Shen Yunyun.
Shen Yunyun was a bit surprised, but considering these were top-tier miraculous pills, a million each wasn't expensive.
"Then we split the four million fifty-fifty."
"I don't want it."
"No way."
They debated the split for a while, and eventually, Tang Yu gave in, taking a ten percent cut—forty thousand from the four million as a token for his efforts.
