Transmigrated as the fake young master, I'll beat up the scumbags and b*tches

After returning home, Han ShuYi wasted no time recounting everything that happened at the Lee household to Zhou WenLi.

Zhou WenLi was visibly shocked upon hearing the news.

She had thought that Lee Tian's actions last time were outrageous enough, but she hadn't expected that all these years, he'd secretly had a child out there, hidden from everyone!

What did this mean? It showed that Lee Tian didn't actually value Li Yue.

As a woman from a prominent family herself, Zhou WenLi understood very well how highly these families regarded bloodlines.

In the future, Lee Tian will surely bring that boy home, and he then give everything to that child. As for Li Yue, to put it bluntly, she might not get much of anything.

"ShuYi, what do you think of Li Yue?"

Zhou WenLi asked her son, genuinely curious about his view on Li Yue.

Back when the engagement with the Lee family was arranged, Zhou WenLi hadn't been entirely on board. After all, Li Yue had always seemed timid, and from the Han family's perspective, the Lee family was indeed aiming a bit high.

But the engagement had been arranged by the family patriarchs of both sides, whose close friendship had sealed the deal.

Later, after Han ShuYi returned, Zhou WenLi wanted to take the opportunity to cancel the engagement, but Lee Tian blocked her from doing so. Furthermore, Han ShuYi expressed his willingness to accept the arrangement, so she didn't pursue the matter.

But she was still unsure about her son's true feelings toward this relationship.

Was it out of duty, or was there genuine affection?

Now that the Lee family was facing such a scandal, Zhou WenLi naturally wanted clarity.

Han ShuYi was momentarily taken aback by his mother's words, then gave a wry smile.

"Mom, it's my responsibility; there's no need to say much about it."

"How can it be unnecessary? If it's only out of responsibility, you don't need to bear it at all! The Han family doesn't need to expand its power through marriage alliances; you just need to marry a girl you truly like."

Zhou WenLi patted Han ShuYi's hand, her expression also filled with helplessness.

If she'd known this was how her son felt, she would have handled this matter long ago!

Han LiTian would likely oppose breaking off the engagement, but that didn't mean she couldn't try.

For her son's happiness, as his mother, she had to make her own decision!

"ShuYi, stay home for now and leave the engagement issue to me."

"Mom..." Han ShuYi wanted to speak but seemed uncertain of what to say.

Zhou WenLi didn't let him continue, instead turned and walked toward her room.

Only after Zhou WenLi's figure disappeared entirely did Han ShuYi breathe a sigh of relief.

A smile appeared on his face as if he'd just solved a major problem.

...

Recently, Lee Tian had been overwhelmed by the troubles of both his company and his family.

The company's stock price had begun plummeting, and he was frantically trying to stop the losses. As for his home, things were even more complicated.

Yu YueLuo's family seemed to have caught wind of his illegitimate child and demanded that he address the situation.

Under this dual pressure, Lee Tian's already thinning hair was falling out faster than ever!

And to make matters worse, he needed to relocate his son to avoid Yu YueLuo's family finding him; that would lead to a disaster!

Lee Tian slumped helplessly in his chair, staring at the stock prices on his computer screen, feeling utterly defeated.

He had no idea who he had offended, as everything happening seemed targeted at him.

The origin of those photos, the intruders at his company and home that night---he didn't know who they were.

He also feared that his unknown adversary would strike at him again.

"Who the hell is it?!"

He slammed his fist onto the desk, scattering papers and pens into the air.

After letting out his frustration, he sank back into his chair, wondering if the Han family could still save him.

The Lee and Han families had a marriage alliance, and for the sake of reputation, the Han family wouldn't just stand by and watch their in-laws go bankrupt, would they?

With this in mind, he tried to call Han LiTian.

Just then, an anonymous message pinged on his phone. Lee Tian frowned, curious, and opened the message.

The message contained only a simple address leading to a nearby hotel.

Along with it was a brief note: Come to this room if you want to see a good show.

Lee Tian's expression was one of suspicion as he pondered the message.

He figured this was likely another stunt by the same person who had set him up at the banquet before. If he went to that room, who knew what might happen?

With no answer after calling Han LiTian multiple times, it was clear the other party wanted nothing to do with him, given the recent troubles with the Lee family.

"Damn it! Do you have to be so ruthless, Han LiTian?" he muttered under his breath, grabbing his phone and standing up.

Sitting here waiting would accomplish nothing; he might as well go and find out exactly what game was being played!

...

Lee Tian arrived at the hotel, the very same where Yu YueLuo frequented.

He booked the room number in the message and headed straight up via the elevator. As he rode up, his heart pounded wildly---a deep-seated instinct told him something big was about to happen.

With the key in hand, he opened the door and entered the room.

There, on the desk, was a USB drive, along with a hotel-provided laptop.

The USB drive had a note taped to it: A gift for you.

"What's this?" he muttered, inserting the USB into the laptop. Inside, there was only a single video file and a notepad document.

Swallowing nervously, Lee Tian clicked open the video.

In the silence of the room, his pupils gleamed as the footage played, the scene shifting from one figure to two.

One of them was his wife!

Lee Tian couldn't believe his eyes. His wife, who had always presented herself as a proper, graceful woman, was actually hiding such a scandalous side.

Their... "play" shocked him to the core.

His fingernails dug deeply into his palms as he clenched his jaw, veins bulging across his forehead, his eyes streaked with red.

His wife had been cheating---long before he ever was!

What right did Yu YueLuo have to accuse him of anything now?

Right then, all Lee Tian wanted to do was return home and confront her, hands around her neck, demanding answers.

When the video ended, he fought to contain his rage as he clicked open the remaining notepad file.

There was only a single sentence:

[Dear Mr. Lee Tian, take a guess---do you think Li Yue is really your biological daughter?]
