"Alright, Mingcheng, that's enough. Mom just left, the house is already a mess enough, don't you want more trouble?"

Su Mingcheng was so frustrated he wanted to explode, but since it was Su Mingzhe who spoke, he could only hold back and then glared at Su Mingyu.

Actually, he wanted to criticize Su Mingyu first, but he couldn't hold back after seeing Tang Yu.

Su Daqiang sat on the sofa in the living room, keeping his head down the whole time and not saying a word.

He clutched a cup of tea that had long since gone cold in his hand, his eyes vacant, as if everything around him was irrelevant to him.

Tang Yu glanced at him and sneered inwardly—this cowardly man had finally broken free from Zhao Meilan's control, but he didn't even have the courage to face reality.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Julie quickly brought over some tea, a slightly embarrassed smile on her face, and said, "Everyone, stop arguing, have some tea and calm down."

She handed out tea to everyone, her eyes darting back and forth between Su Mingcheng and Tang Yu, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

Everyone accepted the tea, but remained silent, and the room fell into a suffocating silence. Only the cup of tea in Su Daqiang's hand, which had long since gone cold, stood out starkly in the silence.

Su Daqiang sat on the sofa, slowly raised his head, and his gaze swept across everyone's faces before finally settling on Tang Yu. He murmured, "Little sister, I want to talk to you alone."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu felt a surge of surprise, but she still got up and followed Su Daqiang out of the room and into the corridor.

"Dad, just say what's on your mind?" Tang Yu stopped and looked at Su Daqiang calmly.

Su Daqiang licked his dry lips and spoke.

"You know what kind of people your uncle and aunt's family are. When they asked me before if that famous singer was you, I didn't admit it."

After all, you changed your name. They just think that person looks similar to you, so don't acknowledge them at the funeral tomorrow.

Tang Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised by Su Daqiang's instructions.

However, upon closer reflection, Zhao Meilan's brother's family is indeed greedy and mercenary; it's naturally good to avoid getting involved in their troubles.

She nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.

Seeing that Tang Yu had agreed, Su Daqiang hesitated for a moment before speaking again.

“Child, I didn’t really want to abandon you back then, but your mother just didn’t want to.”

Tang Yu looked at Su Daqiang quietly, her eyes showing no anger, only calmness and detachment.

“Dad, my mom is really bad, but you are a cold bystander. I know my mom bullies you too, and you haven’t had a good life either. You’ve been cowardly and incompetent all your life. I don’t hate you that much, but I won’t be very close to you as my father either.”

However, since you contribute your salary to the family, and half of what they eat and wear comes from your wages, and I've eaten a single meal at the Su family's house, I will naturally pay my share of the pension contributions as required by law.

Su Daqiang opened his mouth to listen to Tang Yu's words, but couldn't say anything, and could only remain silent in the end.

He recalled the scene of Tang Yu beating Su Mingcheng when they were children, and a sense of fear rose in his heart. He silently turned around and walked into the house.

As soon as the father and daughter entered the house, they saw Su Mingcheng with a furious expression, reaching out as if to attack Su Mingyu.

It's unclear what caused the two to argue, but Su Mingcheng's anger clouded his judgment, making him lose his temper and want to fight.

Upon seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Tang Yu's eyes. Without hesitation, she stepped forward and slapped Su Mingcheng hard across the face.

The slap was crisp and loud, and everyone around was stunned.

Julie's eyes widened, her face filled with shock and panic. She screamed and rushed forward to stop them.

However, Tang Yu moved extremely quickly, grabbing Su Mingcheng by the collar and dragging him into the room like a chick, then slamming the door shut.

Inside the room, before Su Mingcheng could react, Tang Yu's fists rained down on him.

Su Mingcheng was beaten so badly that he had no chance to fight back. He could only cover his head and run away, shouting, "You dare to hit me? You've gone too far!"

But his curses sounded so powerless under Tang Yu's attacks.

The people outside kept knocking on the door, and Julie panicked so much that she stammered, "Open the door! What are you doing in there!"

However, the only sounds in the room were Su Mingcheng's cries of pain and Tang Yu's angry rebukes.

A moment later, Tang Yu opened the door and found Su Mingcheng sprawled on the ground, bruised and battered, with bloodstains at the corners of his mouth, dark circles under his eyes, his clothes torn and disheveled, and his hair a mess.

Everyone who witnessed this scene gasped in shock.

Julie rushed forward, pointed at Tang Yu, and questioned, "How could you, as her younger sister, go so far?"

Tang Yu's expression was cold and stern as he stared directly into Zhu Li's eyes.

"Second sister-in-law, it's fine if you feel sorry for your husband, but you don't know what kind of person Su Mingcheng is from childhood to adulthood. He has bullied Sister Mingyu and me a lot since we were little."

If I hadn't made a move, he would have attacked my sister. I was just teaching him a lesson!

No one in this world will tolerate him like his mother does. If he offends outsiders in the future, he'll be in a worse situation than he is today.

This sudden conflict left the whole family stunned and frozen in place, as if time had stood still.

Su Mingcheng was originally a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong. He hadn't tasted being taught a lesson by Tang Yu for many years, so today he became arrogant and domineering.

But after that beating, he was completely deflated. His eyes darted around, and he didn't even have the courage to look Tang Yu in the eye. He huddled to the side like a defeated rooster.

Su Mingzhe opened his mouth, trying to say something to ease the situation, but he swallowed the words back.

A hint of guilt and helplessness flashed across his face, and the scene of his childhood, when his parents tried to abandon his younger sister but failed, involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

That scene weighed heavily on his heart like a stone, making him feel that he had no right to offer advice at that moment.

"Little sister, let's leave it at that for today."

"Brother, Dad, see you tomorrow. Let's hold the funeral peacefully."

Su Mingyu's voice broke the suffocating silence. Her expression was tired but also showed a bit of determination. After speaking, she gently took Tang Yu's hand and turned to leave.

After getting into the car, Su Mingyu started the engine and slowly drove out of Su Residential Area.

She stared intently at the road ahead, sighing involuntarily.

"It seems like I, as your older sister, have never been able to protect you. Instead, every time Su Mingcheng bullies you, it's you who stands up for him and beats him up."

We just had a fight. I called him a freeloader, and he flew into a rage, almost hitting me.

Tang Yu listened and couldn't help but laugh out loud, her laughter carrying a hint of mockery and insight.

"Someone like Su Mingcheng has been pampered and favored by his mother since he was born."

From childhood to adulthood, even when his grades were terrible, his mother would do everything she could to find him a school; when he grew up, she would help him find a job and protect him all the way.

But he, despite enjoying the convenience brought by this favoritism, stubbornly refuses to face the truth that he is living off his parents.

Because in his heart, his self-esteem is greater than anything else, and any words that touch upon his pitiful self-esteem will be regarded as an offense, and he will then fly into a rage.

He may appear fierce and aggressive, but in reality, he is incredibly fragile and vulnerable—a classic example of someone who is all bark and no bite.

There's no point in reasoning with this kind of person, because they simply won't listen; they're inherently bullies who prey on the weak.

So I learned from a young age that if I gave him a good beating, he would immediately behave and wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

These words immediately made Su Mingyu laugh, and then she asked Su Daqiang what he had said to her.

Tang Yu immediately told Su Mingyu about her uncle's family, and Su Mingyu nodded in agreement.

“Our dad can be quite shrewd sometimes. He actually dislikes my uncle’s family. Sometimes I feel sorry for him, but I also hate him.”

Dad always thinks Mom is the reason this family has come to this, but he doesn't realize he also had a chance to change things. But it's all meaningless now.

Tang Yu could sense Su Mingyu's complicated feelings.

To be honest, Su Mingyu will never receive the affection she deserves in her life. Although she can reconcile with herself, she certainly won't think about it or feel indifferent.

"Sis, take a break after the funeral. The company has partners, how about I take you out for a walk or something?"

Su Mingyu remained silent; she needed to think it over.

However, after the two arrived at the hotel, Su Mingyu remembered something important as soon as she saw Xie Feng.

"Is Xie Feng going to attend tomorrow's funeral? Or should we not let him attend?"

"If the two of you appear together, others will definitely guess your identities. If you're photographed by reporters again, it might become news."

Su Mingyu was worried that other relatives would go to the media and make irresponsible remarks during interviews.

None of the three siblings, including Su Mingcheng, had any interest in going to the media to discuss their family affairs.

But it's not necessarily the case for other people.

"I understand, I will handle this matter well."

After Tang Yu entered the hotel, Xie Feng asked her with concern.

"You two sisters both seem unhappy. Did you have a fight?"

Tang Yu smiled and nodded in agreement, then talked about the trivial things that happened today, and then about how she beat up Su Mingcheng.

"Can you beat him? You didn't suffer any losses, did you?"

"Now that you mention it, I haven't been in a fight for years."

"A grown man can't beat me; maybe I'm just exceptionally gifted in that area."

Xie Feng was astonished upon hearing this, his expression saying, "How is this possible?"

He instantly became eager to try, clenching his fists and waving them in the air twice, shouting excitedly, "Come on, let's have a go!"

Tang Yu smiled helplessly at his impatient look and gently made a starting stance.

The moment the two clashed, before Xie Feng could even react, Tang Yu easily subdued his body.

With a clever turn, Tang Yu pulled and pushed Xie Feng, flipping him over and throwing him onto the bed.

"That's awesome!" Xie Feng collapsed onto the bed, not feeling embarrassed at all, but bursting into laughter instantly, laughing so hard he was doubled over, shouting as he laughed.

"Heroine, please feel free to torment me!"

"You're up to your old tricks again. You always find something to amuse yourself. How can you be so optimistic?"

Tang Yu almost never saw this guy in a bad mood.

Even if there's only a fleeting moment, this guy can quickly become happy again after just fifteen minutes.

Xie Feng hugged Tang Yu tightly, nuzzled her face affectionately, and spoke with a completely frank expression.

"Because I know that people love me very much. My parents love me, my girlfriend loves me, and I love myself. I'm also successful in my career. What makes me unhappy?"

Tang Yu thought it made perfect sense and couldn't help but kiss the person in front of her.

“I also need to learn from you; your mindset is a model for us all.”

The funeral on the second day went relatively smoothly.
