I transmigrated into the villain's white moonlight, but the protagonist is my brother.

At midday, the sunlight was blinding.

A black Maybach sped down the street, its tires screeching as it made sharp turns.

The woman who should have been sitting in the spacious back seat was now driving the vehicle with a cold expression, gripping the steering wheel.

The woman was slender, wearing a dark coat, with shoulder-length short hair and exquisite, neat makeup.

She looked to be around thirty or forty years old, with delicate skin without any fine lines, and was extremely well-maintained. However, the calm, cold anger on her face was chilling.

The car body gleamed dazzlingly in the sunlight, and every turn and overtaking maneuver seemed to push the limits. This domineering style made other cars on the street seem like mere extras, all giving way.

Twenty minutes later, the black car drove straight into the Gu family compound. The woman's expression was icy, her eyes blazing with fury, and her voice was extremely penetrating.

"Gu Jinhua! Get out here right now!"

The old butler looked surprised when he saw the woman, but then he smiled and came to greet her.

"Madam, you're back! Why didn't you let us know beforehand so we could prepare..."

Jiang Yuanfeng's eyes were lined with delicate brown eyeliner, giving her an extremely cold and aloof look. She snorted coldly, "What did I say beforehand? If I hadn't rushed home, I wouldn't have known Qingyu had been suspended! Where is that old geezer! Tell him to get out here!"

"Please calm down and have a cup of tea. The master is in his study; I'll go and call him down right now."

The butler went to pour a cup of tea, but Jiang Yuanfeng grabbed it and smashed it on the ground, scattering shards of porcelain all over the floor.

The Jiang family is also a major player in the business world. Jiang Yuanfeng, as a woman, is able to sit in the position of the largest shareholder of the Jiang family. Her methods and courage are extremely strong and ruthless. Her temper is also known to be not to be trifled with.

Jiang Yuanfeng walked on the floor, which was so smooth it looked like a mirror, with a thud as she walked in her sharp, thin high heels.

Her eyebrows furrowed, and she was already preparing to go upstairs to confront Gu Jinhua.

Just then, a man wearing glasses slowly descended the stairs.

Even though Gu Jinhua is getting older, he still has the same charm as before. He looks refined and easy-going. His face is still firm except for some fine lines, and he has maintained a good figure. He can be called a very handsome uncle.

"Why are you throwing such a tantrum as soon as you get back? Have you cleaned up all that mess back home?"

He strolled into the living room and calmly sat down on the sofa. "Have you dealt with all those holdout residents?"

"Stop changing the subject! I'm just asking you, why did you suspend Qingyu? All he did was hit someone, what is the Li family anyway! You actually suspended him for someone like that?"

Jiang Yuanfeng slammed his bag onto the sofa, looking down at him condescendingly. "Qingyu is already twenty, and has been with the company for two years. You've seen his work ability! Not only are you not promoting him, but you're suspending him too?! What are you thinking?!"

The woman's voice was shrill and aggressive, and Gu Jinhua couldn't help but frown from the noise.

"Can you please stop arguing and calm down? He hasn't been doing well lately, and his work performance has declined. Suspending him is to teach him a lesson. Besides, do you think hitting someone is something to be proud of? I'm just making him reflect on his actions!"

Jiang Yuanfeng laughed angrily, "Reflect on your actions? I bet it's to make room for that bastard child of yours! Don't think I don't know you let that filthy thing live in my house the other day—"

"dad."

A gentle, clear voice sounded from behind. Jiang Yuanfeng glanced back and saw that the "dirty thing" she had just mentioned seemed to have just come down the stairs, laughing in a hypocritical and disgusting way.

The boy was wearing a gray turtleneck sweater, which looked harmless due to its fluffy texture. He had a beautiful and delicate face and was well-behaved and polite.

He then turned his gaze to Jiang Yuanfeng, "Hello, Auntie."

Anger flared up in the woman's eyes instantly. She pointed at Shen Yan as if she didn't want to see him at all, then turned to Gu Jinhua and questioned her incredulously.

"Why is he here?! Gu Jinhua! Don't tell me you actually let him move in! Do you believe I'll smash your house up?!"

Gu Jinhua was now truly in a bind.

He frowned, raised his hand to press his temples, and sighed irritably.

Jiang Yuanfeng had to come back today of all times, and just happened to run into Shen Yan.

This child had been ruthlessly kicked out of his home last time and had been quiet for a while. This was a rare instance of him taking the initiative to come to him.

Moreover, the fact that Gu Qingyu could beat the Li family so badly only made Shen Yan seem more lenient.

Compared to the other two, Shen Yan's matter is nothing at all.

Moreover, Shen Yan came to see him today, and his attitude of admitting his mistakes was good. He said many heartfelt words with tears in his eyes, which really touched Gu Jinhua.

The mistakes he made when he was young, in retrospect, actually brought him a good son.

Give him a little reward, and he'll be loyal and devoted to you. Plus, he's smart and capable.

Very useful.

"...I didn't let him move in. He's been staying outside lately. You can ask him if you don't believe me."

Gu Jinhua gestured with her chin towards Shen Yan, who immediately replied, "I live near the school."

Even so, Jiang Yuanfeng still refused to back down.

Her scrutinizing gaze swept over the two of them twice before she suddenly sneered at Gu Jinhua, "If you live outside, why did you suddenly come to see you? Gu Jinhua, don't tell me you're planning to let him into the company!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinhua slammed her teacup down on the coffee table and said sternly, "So what if he comes in? That's enough! You start making a scene as soon as you get home! Besides, Xiao Yan is still my son. Can't he even come back to see me? It's been years, haven't you vented your anger enough yet!"

"Not enough! Impossible! I will never let this filthy thing into our house! Who knows what kind of dirty blood he bleeds! I find it disgusting! If you really let him into the company, I'll never forgive you!"

Jiang Yuanfeng was so angry that she became hysterical. Back then, she was the only daughter of the Jiang family, pampered and domineering.

Everyone says that there is no true love in wealthy families, but she married Gu Jinhua with great passion, thinking that she had found true love. They were a well-known golden couple in the industry.

She has a willful and eccentric personality, Gu Jinhua is very good at coaxing people, Jiang Yuanfeng has achieved success in both career and love, and has a son named Gu Qingyu who has been outstanding since childhood. She can be described as a winner in life. She always felt that she had been incredibly successful in her life and was a role model that countless women envied.

However, all of these were shattered three years ago.

Gu Jinhua suddenly brought home an illegitimate child, who was only two years younger than her son.

This shows that he had an affair with another woman more than ten years ago, fathered a child with her, and then pretended to be a model couple with her all the time!

Not disgusting at all!

Even if Gu Jinhua publicly claims that Shen Yan is adopted, who in the industry isn't shrewd? What wealthy family would abandon their own outstanding son to adopt someone else's?

They're all just pretending to be ignorant when they know the truth.

Jiang Yuanfeng has been showing off and being arrogant for so long, but in the past few years he has completely lost face!

The existence of this illegitimate child is a disgrace to Jiang Yuanfeng! Every time she sees him, she is reminded of her own stupidity and blindness!

Shen Yan's existence was practically a slap in the face to her!

"Auntie, please don't argue with Dad. I joined the company to help my older brother—"

"Snapped----"

The boy's voice was interrupted by a crisp slap.

The woman, in the heat of the moment, slapped Shen Yan with all her might, as if she wanted to vent all her anger on him.

Her tone was harsh and shrill, "Who do you think you are, daring to interrupt?! You think you're worthy to share Qingyu's workload?! You lowly, filthy thing aren't even fit to carry Qingyu's shoes!! Get out!!"

Caught off guard by the slap, the boy covered his face and staggered back two steps, his face pale, head bowed and silent.

The old butler stood aside, feeling pity and wanting to help, but because of Jiang Yuanfeng's presence, he could only watch helplessly as the gentle and kind-hearted second young master was bullied.

Seeing this scene, Gu Jinhua was truly enraged.

No matter what, Shen Yan is his biological son. Jiang Yuanfeng keeps calling him despicable and filthy, isn't that insulting him as well?

Does that mean he's being called dirty and despicable?!

Gu Jinhua slammed her hand on the table and shouted angrily, "Jiang Yuanfeng, are you ever going to stop?! I've put up with you for too long, you shrew!!"

The woman, enraged, burst into two laughs. "You've finally shown your true colors, haven't you, Gu Jinhua! Aren't you tired of acting all these years?!"

"..."

The couple had been having relationship problems for years, and this time their argument erupted into a fierce one, with all sorts of nasty words flying out of their mouths, including repeated use of terms like "bastard," "scum," and "son of a bitch."

As for who those words are referring to, it goes without saying.

The maids and servants in the villa all retreated to secluded spots, keeping their eyes down and not daring to make themselves any more noticeable in the current situation. They were so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of being caught in the crossfire.

Only the elderly butler remained calm. Seeing that the master and mistress were too busy arguing to pay attention to this matter, he pulled the silent second young master into the kitchen.

The housekeeper is seventy years old and has experienced more than anyone else present, so he is more tolerant in his views.

The second young master's background is indeed a bit ugly, but it's not his fault. Even though he is already very outstanding, there is absolutely no way he can be completely accepted by his family.

He was already pitiful after being away for so many years, but seeing his current situation, the steward felt that it would have been better if he had never come back in the first place.

The red handprint on Shen Yan's originally fair left cheek was particularly clear, but he didn't cry out in pain or complain, which made the old butler even more soft-hearted.

The second young master is even younger than his grandson. As an elder, how could he possibly harden his heart?

"Second Young Master, while Madam isn't paying attention to you, hurry and leave through the side door of the kitchen."

The butler patted Shen Yan's thin shoulder, urging him to leave, afraid that Jiang Yuanfeng would come to his senses and cause trouble for Shen Yan again.

The elderly man seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around, took another ice pack from the refrigerator, and handed it to me, saying in a low voice, "Remember to apply it, otherwise it will swell up badly later."

Shen Yan took the ice pack, but his gaze towards the housekeeper finally held a hint of emotion. He frowned slightly, as if touched, "What if Auntie realizes what's happening later..."

"It's alright. I'm already so old, Madam won't do anything to me. At most, she'll just say a few words to me. You should go now."

The old butler's aged face was full of urgency, so Shen Yan could only thank him and leave with the ice pack.

After leaving the house and walking for a while, Shen Yan finally arrived at the main road.

Autumn is bleak; the branches of the trees along the roadside are withered, and the lawn looks yellow and lifeless.

The boy, with his injured face, looked particularly sad and forlorn.

But Shen Yan didn't feel anything at all.

Those filthy words and that slap couldn't hurt him in the slightest.

Compared to my childhood experiences, this is nothing, like a tickle.

The ice pack was extremely cold; if you held it in your hand for a long time, it would become painfully cold.

Damp water seeped out, soaking the boy's palms, and water dripped continuously from the boy's hand holding the ice pack.

He strode leisurely to the trash can.
