Chapter 12: Brother, Control Her!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yu Lang’s study was on the second floor. Some of the documents inside were confidential and were usually kept locked up. However, a few male members of the Yu family knew the password.
Even Yu Wan did not have the right to enter this study, but Yu Jue did not make Yu Yao wait outside. Instead, he took her in directly.
Yu Jue led Yu Yao over to a couch. “Yaoyao, wait there for a while. I’ll help you find the documents.” (f)reewebnovel.com
Yu Yao did not sit down. Instead, she stayed standing and went over to the bookshelf, where she casually picked up a finance book and began flipping through it.
That afternoon, Yu Lang had received an investigation report regarding the mental hospital. The statements and photos in the report were shocking. That d*mn director made Yu Lang feel extremely disgusted!
Thus, Yu Lang, who had always enjoyed working late into the night, had retired early for the first time in his life.
When he returned home, Auntie Zhang was eagerly pouring water for him and taking his slippers as she rambled on.
In the past, Yu Lang hadn’t minded Auntie Zhang’s nagging. Instead, he had always been made to feel warm and at home by it.
But today, when he heard Auntie Zhang complaining and saying, “After Yu Yao came back, she went crazy and hit Miss. That mental hospital nowadays is too irresponsible. Releasing patients before they’ve been treated…”
Yu Lang immediately snapped. He waved his hand to stop Auntie Zhang from helping him take off his coat. He looked at the maid who had been taking care of him for more than ten years.
“Auntie Zhang, the eldest daughter of the Yu family is Yu Yao. Moreover, she’s normal and not mentally ill.”
Yu Lang lowered his gaze and paused for a moment before continuing, “You’re not young anymore. Why don’t you retire? But before you leave, I hope you’ll sign a nondisclosure agreement to say that you won’t mention anything about Yu Yao again.”
Auntie Zhang was stunned for a while before she finally clocked what had just happened. She raised her voice in disbelief. “Young Master?! I’ve worked for the Yus for almost twenty years, but you want to fire me over a wild girl?!”
Even though Yu Lang had previously felt that he had a master-servant relationship with Auntie Zhang in his heart, it was completely gone now.
His expression was cold as he said, “You’ve been taking care of me for more than ten years, but you’re only a servant of the Yu family. Yu Yao has only been back for a few months, and she’s also my blood-related sister. What right do you have to speak like that about her?”
At this time, Auntie Zhang finally felt Yu Lang’s determination to protect Yu Yao. Her face was pale, and she was somewhat regretful, but she was also angry and reluctant.
When Yu Lang got back, Auntie Zhang had notified Yu Wan so that she could inadvertently have Yu Lang see the injuries on her face. If Yu Lang hated Yu Yao even more because of this, then her beating today would not be in vain.
Yu Wan covered her face as she entered the living room, waiting for Auntie Zhang to coordinate with her. However, her luck today seemed exceptionally bad.
Auntie Zhang saw Yu Wan and ran over to take her hand. As she cried, she begged, “Miss, Miss Yu, please help me plead for mercy. I have a husband who’s always sick and a useless son at home. I really can’t lose this job…”
Yu Wan looked at Yu Lang in confusion. “Big Brother, what’s going on? Are you firing Auntie Zhang? Did she do something wrong?”
Auntie Zhang cried, “Because I forgot to call Miss Yu Yao by her proper title. I even told Eldest Young Master that she hit you but he just wants to fire me. Second Young Miss, I’m doing this for you. Please help me…”
Yu Wan’s heart sank. “Brother, is what Auntie Zhang said true?”
Yu Lang didn’t intend to deny it. “That’s right. In the future, if I find that the servants at home are gossiping and treating Yu Yao with disrespect, then regardless of whether they have worked at the Yu family for twenty or thirty years, all that will await that servant is a notice of dismissal.”
Yu Wan felt more uneasy than shocked. She looked at Yu Lang in disbelief. “Big Brother, what happened to you and Third Brother today? What kind of drug did Yu Yao give you?”
Yu Lang looked deeply at Yu Wan. “Yu Yao is my parents’ biological daughter and our younger sister. Is there anything wrong with our attitudes?”
Yu Wan broke out in a cold sweat when faced with the look in his eyes. She shook her head subconsciously and mumbled, “No, nothing’s wrong.”
Yu Lang walked into the study with a briefcase filled with evidence of crimes committed at the mental hospital. He saw Yu Yao casually flipping through a book in front of the bookshelf.
She didn’t seem interested in any of the profound financial theories. Bored, she flipped through another one of the books. She didn’t put it back where it had been. Instead, she casually piled it in an empty space on the shelf. Several of the neatly ordered shelves had been messed up.
There was a small room to the side of the study which contained a safe. Yu Jue walked out with a document envelope.
“Yaoyao, your documents are here.”
Yu Yao walked over and wanted to take the envelope, but Yu Lang spoke faster than she could move.
“Third Brother, what are you doing with Yu Yao’s ID?”
Only then did Yu Jue and Yu Yao notice Yu Lang standing at the study door.
Yu Jue immediately seemed to find his backbone. He retracted her hand and gripped the document file. “Big Brother, Yaoyao is running away from home!”
Yu Yao was speechless and couldn’t help but complain, “How old are you? You’re actually whining like a child?”
Yu Jue was not ashamed. “Yaoyao, I’m a good brother who can’t steel my heart when it comes to you, but our eldest brother is different. He’ll definitely control you!”
He ignored the murderous look in Yu Lang’s eyes.. “Big Brother, Yaoyao’s rebellious phase is here. You have to control her!”
