Blood Relation

A few hours passed and Li Ruyan has only consumed half of the contents of the wine bottle. This wine cost her a lot of money. It would probably amount to a normal person's one-year salary. That was how expensive this wine was.

But... to Li Ruyan, the daughter of the Li's, drinking an expensive wine like this was like drinking orange juice. It was not out of the blue but she still chose to refrain.

After a while, her phone buzzed and she picked it up to read the message inside.

-If you change your mind, call me.

Li Ruyan was so angry that she threw the already cracked phone on the kitchen wall. She also did not hold back which is why it would not be a surprise that her phone was thoroughly broken and that she would need to schedule a time to buy a new phone for her.

Just when she was about to down her glass, she heard the sound of knocks coming from her apartment door. She placed the wine glass down and leisurely went to the entrance. Peeking at the peephole, she saw someone in a business suit, carrying a small box.

"Excuse me? Is Miss Li inside? I am here to deliver something.." The man's voice could be heard across the door. Thinking that she could take him on, Li Ruyan foolishly opened the door. She stared at the man with a half-lidded gaze.

The man smiled and offered the box to her.

"Miss Li, this is for you. Mr. Du said you would need a new phone in case you want to contact him." When the man finished speaking and the box landed on Li Ruyan's hand, Li Ruyan's eyes blazed and she threw the box as far away as possible.

There was a cracking sound in the silent area followed by the door slamming close.

The man who was one of Du Tianxing's subordinates gaped his mouth for a few seconds, stunned at Li Ruyan's display of actions. He awkwardly went to pick up the box with a new brand phone before calling his boss and informing him of Li Ruyan's response.

In the other line, Du Tianxing was laughing like crazy.

After his meeting with Li Ruyan, he went away and went back to his penthouse. Hours had already passed and CEO Yang's birthday party occasion was done. He did not stay long as he was already able to secure people to invest in some of his projects.

While lounging on the sofa and enjoying his wine, he was playing with the diamond bracelet in his hands. He glanced from time to time at his phone, expecting a response but no new message came, much to his disappointment.

He smirked. That was fine. It only makes things more interesting.

Half an hour later, the raging figure of his little cousin barged inside the living room. His bodyguards tried to stop him but Min Yue shoved them away with a livid expression.

Du Tianxing's collar was grabbed by Min Yue and a punch landed on his face, the same spot where Li Ruyan slapped him. He fell on the floor and the wine glass shattered, spilling its contents on the expensive blue carpet.

"Du Tianxing, you are really testing my patience!" Min Yue grabbed him and shouted at his face. It was the first time that Du Tianxing has seen his little cousin explode from anger and he actually punched him without holding back.

Du Tianxing smiled. He could taste the metallic taste of blood in his mouth and he must look bad after receiving that blow to the face.

"You dare to touch my woman? Are you tired of living? Do you want me to send you to accompany, Aunt?" Min Yue taunted with a dark expression. He looked like he wanted to tear Du Tianxing apart and feed his remains to the sharks. It was as if in his eyes, Du Tianxing was not his cousin but a person that offended him greatly.

He did not take into account their blood relation.

Du Tianxing was aware of why Min Yue was raging like a tyrant. It was because he sent her a photo of him and Li Ruyan in his car just a few minutes ago.

In the picture, Du Tianxing's face was leaning on Li Ruyan's exposed neck but the way the picture was taken made it look like he was kissing her neck. Li Ruyan's lips were parted from surprise while his hand was also under her dress which made the picture look lewd. It made it seem like she was enjoying what was being done to her.

It made sense why Min Yue was out to kill him. The latter delivered another punch to his face when he grinned.

"You bastard. You bastard. You really want to die, huh? I told you not to touch her. Anyone but her." Min Yue grabbed a glass shard from the floor and stabbed it into his stomach.

Du Tianxing's eyes widened. This was not part of the plan so it was time for him to retaliate. He kicked his cousin away and grabbed the shard that was buried on his stomach.

He hissed and glared at Min Yue.

"Min Yue, for a woman, you can even lay a hand on your own cousin. I guess that bitch must be really good in bed to make you act so cra--"

He evaded the punch to his face and stepped away. He met gazes with PA Ren who had just arrived and was looking extremely pale when he saw Du Tianxing's current state.

Du Tianxing opened his mouth to speak but before he could do so, a fierce blow struck his head, making him fall to the ground. Everything turned dark before he lost his consciousness.
