CHAPTER 664: CHAPTER 156: THE STONE INCIDENT

"Miss Yun, are you looking for that girl?" Manager Chu saw that Yun Sheng had a face full of indecision.

Yun Sheng bitterly smiled to herself; if it had been anybody else, she might have had a way, but now the stone had ended up in Chen Lianlian’s hands.

And Chen Lianlian happened to despise Yun Sheng the most.

Having failed to acquire the stone, Yun Sheng felt quite dispirited.

It was at this moment that Chu Yu walked in.

Seeing Yun Sheng’s troubled expression, she asked about what had happened.

"Tian Yitu? Him again." When Chu Yu heard this name, a surge of anger appeared on her face.

"It’s my negligence; had I known, I would have left a deposit," Yun Sheng had not anticipated that such an unremarkable stone would be so coveted by others.

If ordinary people heard that a stone was worth five million gold coins, they would probably lose their temper on the spot.

"No, since my mother promised you, she will surely deliver. Don’t worry, I will take care of this matter," Chu Yu said with a sense of honor.

"I know where Tian Yitu is. Just wait here, I will find him and get the stone back," Chu Yu didn’t say anything more and turned to leave abruptly.

Yun Sheng couldn’t stop her.

"Yuyu, ah, this child, still so headstrong," Manager Chu wore a troubled look, "Miss Yun, I have urgent matters to attend to right now and can’t go after Yuyu. You should stop her. For Sister Yu to go there, it would be like walking into a tiger’s den," Manager Chu said anxiously.

Yun Sheng only found out upon asking that this Tian Yitu was the eldest son of the Sky Wing City Lord.

This man, around thirty, was notoriously frivolous.

Previously at the City Lord Mansion, he had always tried to take liberties with Chu Yu.

It was precisely to avoid Tian Yitu that Chu Yu left the mansion and volunteered to join the Sky Wings Arena as a junior referee.

"I’ll stop her," Yun Sheng immediately set out in search.

Yun Sheng moved quickly, further hastened by the Night Charm Step, but who could have known that Chu Yu’s pace was even faster; in the blink of an eye, she had disappeared.

With a face full of anxiety, Yun Sheng had no choice but to inquire with the clerks at the Treasure Pavilion, but everyone had no idea where Chu Yu had gone to look for the person.

After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Chu Yu went straight to various taverns and teahouses in the city, asking from one to the next.

As a notorious wastrel, Tian Yitu was known to loiter around these places all day long. Chu Yu made inquiries and indeed found out that Tian Yitu was in one of the taverns, having reserved a private room.

At that time, he was waiting for someone.

"Tian Yitu, hand over that stone," Chu Yu kicked the door open as she entered.

Tian Yitu had an appointment with Chen Lianlian that day and was waiting for the beauty to arrive. Annoyed by the interruption, he was about to lose his temper, but upon seeing Chu Yu, he let out a chuckle and stared intently at her.

"So it’s you. Yuyu, you really make me suffer with longing," Tian Yitu was ten years older than Chu Yu. As a servant in the Tianyi City Lord’s Mansion since childhood, she had been abused and scolded by Tian Yitu.

But once Chu Yu turned around thirteen or fourteen, her appearance became even more enchanting.

Tian Yitu always wanted to take her as a concubine, but Manager Chu firmly resisted, and Tian Yitu never succeeded.

Out of desperation, Manager Chu had no choice but to send Chu Yu to the Sky Wings Arena.

Ever since then, Chu Yu had avoided Tianyidong as much as possible; after all, in terms of fighting skills, she was no match for Tian Yitu.

"Tian Yitu, show some respect. The City Lord has just returned; do you want me to recount all of your recent acts one by one?" Chu Yu glared at him furiously.

Upon hearing the name of the Sky Wing City Lord, Tian Yitu indeed restrained himself a bit.

In Sky Wing City, Tian Yitu rampaged unchecked, but he avoided only one person—the Sky Wing City Lord.

If his father found out about his profligate behavior, at the very least he would skin him alive.

"Chu Yu, what act are you putting on? Just because your mother and my father are having an affair, do you really think you and your mother own the Tianyi City Lord’s Mansion?" Faced with such tantalizing prey that he couldn’t indulge in, Tian Yitu felt as uncomfortable as if a cat was scratching his heart.

"I can’t be bothered to argue with you. Hand over that stone, and I might consider not letting word of your misdeeds slip out," Chu Yu snorted. She felt disgusted every time she laid eyes on Tian Yitu.

"What stone? Oh, you mean that five million gold coin stone? I’ll have you know, this young master uses it to lure women. If you want it, it’s not impossible. Just come obediently to my other courtyard," Tian Yitu said with a lewd smile, appraising Chu Yu.

To play with women without his mother tiger finding out, Tian Yitu had secretly built an other courtyard in the city.

Whenever there was fresh talent, he would take them to the other courtyard.

Fang Bainian Chu Yu and Chen Lianlian were completely different types.

Chen Lianlian was the typical delicate young lady of a respectable family, looking so tender that one couldn’t help but adore her.

Chu Yu, however, was a rose with thorns, blossoming furiously, irresistibly inviting one to taste its fragrance.

Having played with so many women over the years, it was these two that stood out the most to Tian Yitu. He even harbored the wicked thought of taking both beauties for himself, imagining the delight of having them both at his mercy.

Tian Yitu’s words infuriated Chu Yu to the point where her face turned red with rage.

Her angry appearance caught the attention of Tianyidong, enhancing her beauty even more.

The debauchee, unable to contain himself in the moment, leaned forward with his foul mouth, intending to savor her fragrance.

"Get lost," Chu Yu slapped him, sending Tian Yitu reeling.

"You damn woman, how dare you hit this young master! Seize her—I’ll deal with her right here, today," Tian Yitu exclaimed in anger as he reached out to grab Chu Yu.

Just then, the door was kicked open.

Manager Chu arrived with several of Sky Wing City Lord’s trusted subordinates, barging in.

It turned out that, after Yun Sheng couldn’t find Chu Yu, she rushed back to the Treasure Pavilion, and Manager Chu, worried something might have happened, quickly went to the City Lord Mansion for reinforcements.

She had interrogated Tian Yitu’s personal servants and found out he was here today.

Upon arrival, they heard Tian Yitu’s angry cursing.

"Yuyu," Manager Chu grabbed her daughter and glared coldly at Tian Yitu.

"Eldest Young Master, are you trying to drive my daughter and me to our deaths?"

"Manager Chu... you old..." Tian Yitu’s face was a picture of ugliness. He was no fool—Manager Chu was his father’s intimate friend, and he wouldn’t dare to really harm her even if he had the guts.

As both parties stood in a deadlock, a delicate voice tentatively asked, "Eldest Young Master, what has happened to you?"

Chen Lianlian walked in, and upon seeing Tian Yitu, she hurriedly approached and began to soothe him in a gentle and soft voice.

Manager Chu watched, furrowing her brows slightly, and took the opportunity to pull Chu Yu away and leave.

Tian Yitu was furious, while Chen Lianlian by his side read the room, sneering inwardly.

She had already been in the corridor earlier and had seen Chu Yu storm in furiously. Not in a rush to enter, she went to the neighboring chamber to sit and enjoy the drama.
