I Don’t Want To Be A Villain - Chapter 6

This farce ended with Tang Yu slamming the door in exasperation.

He took off his expensive suit and threw it on the floor. He was still angry and stomped on it twice when he rushed out.

The clean and tidy suit became a rag in an instant.

Tang Yun sighed and said in a low voice, “Clean up the floor.”

The waiter cleaned up the floor in an orderly manner as if he had been pardoned.

The remaining relatives of the Tang family in the banquet hall also heaved a sigh of relief. They started to talk and brought wine to greet Tang Yun. Everything returned to normal.

It was as if nothing had happened just now.

Ye Heng looked coldly at the rag-like clothes on the floor and the corner of his mouth twitched.

He didn’t know what had happened to Tang Mingxi that made his attitude towards him change.

Did he think that he would be like a dog wagging its tail and being grateful just because he got some benefits?

If it wasn’t for Ye Yue… Thinking of his sister, Ye Heng’s eyes darkened and he wanted to kill Tang Mingxi with his own hands.

Tang Mingxi suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if he was being stared at by a cold-blooded beast.

He turned his head and saw Ye Heng standing coldly behind him.

Tang Mingxi was speechless.

He was wondering why the hairs on his back were standing up!

He had helped the male lead just now. Even if he didn’t remember the favor, he didn’t have to be so ungrateful.

Ten minutes later, Tang Nuo arrived late.

After greeting Tang Yun, he respectfully said to Tang Mingxi, “Second brother.”

Then he nodded slightly in Ye Heng’s direction. At the same time, the hatred in Ye Heng’s eyes dissipated and he returned a slightly gentler gaze.

Tang Mingxi saw this and couldn’t help but sigh. As expected of the male lead’s best friend in the original novel. This treatment was different from a cannon fodder like him.

After Tang Yu ran away, there was an empty seat in front of the relatives.

Ye Heng took the opportunity to sit in Tang Yu’s original seat, causing some people at the table to be dissatisfied.

For Tang Yun’s sake, they didn’t dare to make any big moves, but they played many small tricks.

Eleven sets of bowls and chopsticks were served, but the set in front of Ye Heng was missing.

Ye Heng was already used to it and sat silently in front of the table.

Although he was hungry and cold, he wouldn’t use his hands to grab the food. He didn’t want the Tang family to see him as a joke.

Tang Mingxi saw this and couldn’t bear it.

Ever since Ye Heng had entered the Tang family, under the torture of the original “Tang Mingxi”, he had never eaten at the table.

If he wasn’t casually eating leftovers, he would be drinking cold water to allay his hunger. Speaking of this, Tang Mingxi couldn’t help but feel a little envious. As expected of the male lead, he could grow so tall just by eating leftovers.

Even so, the original host still felt that the humiliation wasn’t enough. Every day, he gave Ye Heng a hundred yuan as pocket money as if he was a beggar.

It was obvious that Ye Heng, a proud and arrogant person, would not use this money.

After kneeling in the afternoon, Ye Heng’s head had been drenched by the heavy snow and his high fever had yet to recover. Now that his brain was groggy, being able to sit down was already a good treatment.

Today, the Tang family’s actions at the banquet were like stepping on a dying stray dog on the side of the road to vent their malice.

Seeing the male lead suffer in front of him, Tang Mingxi… couldn’t eat.

Physically, he couldn’t eat. After all, the pain the male lead suffered today would be a knife in his body.

Tang Mingxi could almost see himself dying in the belly of a shark through Ye Heng’s gloomy gaze.

He calmly exhaled and then frowned. He impatiently slammed the bowl and chopsticks on the table. “Is the Tang family bankrupt? What kind of chef did they hire? I don’t like any of it! ”

The bowl and chopsticks made a crackling sound. The porcelain chopsticks fell on the floor of the banquet hall and broke in two. Everyone at the table looked over.

Tang Yun was the closest to him and said helplessly, “If the food is not to your liking, just take it away and serve it again. Why are you throwing a tantrum?”

In the original novel, Tang Mingxi’s elder brother, Tang Yun, could be said to dote on his younger brother. Even if Tang Mingxi made a scene at the annual banquet, Tang Yun would not be angry.

“I’m not eating. Take it away and change to another table!” Tang Mingxi was arrogant because of the adoration and played the role of a hedonistic son to the fullest.

Tang Yun raised his hand and ordered the waiter to take the dishes away. His gaze naturally fell on Ye Heng. Only then did he realize that there were no bowls or chopsticks in front of Ye Heng.

Seeing this, Tang Nuo hurriedly took the opportunity to scold the waiter. “How are you doing your job? How can you take less bowls and chopsticks?”

The waiter felt a chill run down his spine. Everyone did things according to their mood. Bullying Ye Heng was as easy as drinking water.

But he didn’t expect that the third young master would find out. Manipulating things behind the scenes was one thing, but when it was put on the table, no one would look good.

Tang Yun glanced at Tang Nuo and said coldly, “It’s just that we were too busy at the annual banquet today and neglected many things. Don’t look for trouble during the new year! ”

Tang Nuo was scolded for no reason. He clenched his fists under the table and lowered his head in shame. He lowered his eyelashes in embarrassment. “… Big brother is right.”

Tang Mingxi looked at Tang Yun in surprise. He thought to himself that this cheap brother of his really had double standards.

Tang Nuo had only spoken a few words for Ye Heng, but Tang Yun had already stabbed him with a stick. It could be seen that Tang Nuo was not very well liked in the Tang family.

Speaking of which, it was precisely because Tang Yun was unconditionally biased towards him that the “Tang Mingxi” in the original novel became increasingly arrogant and willful. In the end, he caused the entire Tang family to die.

So why is my life so miserable?

The dishes were taken away and served again. Tang Mingxi clamored for porridge, causing everyone at the table to have no choice but to eat plain soup. Their faces were pale and they were angry at Tang Mingxi, but they did not dare to say anything.

Only Ye Heng ate freely. His high fever had not subsided and he was still sick. He felt nauseous when he saw any chicken, duck, fish, meat, or fish.

At this moment, the hot porridge warmed up his stomach that had not eaten for a day.

The young man ate in a hurry. Tang Mingxi glanced at him and thought, “No one is fighting with you. How can you drink such hot porridge…”

But what he did not know was that Ye Heng basically had to fight for food in the Tang family. He ate at the same table as the servants in the kitchen. If he ate slowly, he would not have anything to eat and would have to starve for an entire day.

“Tang Mingxi” was not so kind as to leave dinner for him.

However, seeing that Ye Heng was focused on eating and did not suspect his sudden request to drink plain porridge, Tang Mingxi heaved a sigh of relief.

He had gone through so much trouble and even sacrificed his reputation just to let the male lead have a mouthful of hot porridge.

The next part of the annual meeting was the report segment.

Tang Mingxi and Tang Nuo each owned a branch company. After operating it for a year, Tang Mingxi did not disappoint and caused the branch company to suffer losses and owe a lot of debt.

Tang Nuo, on the other hand, had already made the branch company public. The beautiful financial report made him stand out.

Gradually, the banquet hall was filled with gossips and discussions. When Tang Nuo heard them, he couldn’t help but smile.

“I really don’t know how Second Tang has the face to sit here. Isn’t he just relying on his big brother?”

“I think the Tang family might end up in the hands of Third Young Master.”

“They have the same father, but why is there such a big difference?”

“He looks like a woman and even married a man. He really doesn’t find it embarrassing. If I were him, I would rather die. ”

“In my opinion, he is a good match for that useless son-in-law.”

Tang Mingxi did not think much of it. Anyway, everyone will be killed by the male lead next year.

However, Ye Heng’s lips curled up mockingly and he looked at Tang Mingxi with disdain.

Seeing how shameless he was and how proud he was, he felt even more disgusted.

Tang Yun frowned and comforted Tang Mingxi gently. “Don’t listen to these sarcastic remarks. You are still young, just a child. You have plenty of room to grow in the future.”

Tang Mingxi almost spat out his orange juice. A 21-year-old child? Big brother, wake up. What filter do you have?!

“Besides, with me around, you don’t have to work hard. I will protect you for the rest of your life.”

Tang Mingxi did not know whether to laugh or cry. When he thought of Ye Heng’s methods in the future, he complained in his heart. Thank you, brother. We will go to hell together next year.

The brothers chatted with each other for a while, and it was time for the annual meeting to end.

Tang Yun and the others returned to the old mansion. The Bentley was parked at the gate. Ye Heng had already gotten out of the car and walked coldly to the stable.

Tang Mingxi looked at the weather and felt a little strange. It’s such a cold day, and the male lead has a high fever. Is that cardboard room next to the stable a place for people to sleep?

Forget it. I’ll find a chance to get him to sleep in the room later.

Although he knew that Ye Heng would kill him in the future, he could still run away in advance. At least until now, Tang Mingxi did not hate Ye Heng.

Looking at Ye Heng’s lonely back, a trace of uneasiness flashed through Tang Mingxi’s heart. It was as if he had forgotten something important.

However, he was shivering in the cold wind and stopped thinking. It was only when he returned to his room and Auntie Wang made him a bowl of hot ginger soup that Tang Mingxi’s brain finally connected. He finally realized what he had forgotten!

In the original novel, after the Tang family’s annual meeting, the cannon fodder scum Huo Yiran who was in cahoots with “Tang Mingxi” officially appeared.

The moment he appeared, he did something big. First, he made things difficult for Ye Heng and dragged him out of the stable. Not only did he slander Ye Heng for stealing from the Tang family, he also used a horse whip to fiercely beat the male lead.

The worst thing was that in the snowy weather, Huo Yiran burned the scarf that Ye Heng treasured and threw it into the ornamental pond in the courtyard of the old mansion.

This scarf was the last scarf that his sister Ye Yue had knitted for him before she lost her sight. It was very meaningful, so Ye Heng jumped into the pond almost without hesitation.

In the middle of winter, the youth’s heart was colder than his body. He almost froze to death on this winter night.

Thinking of this, Tang Mingxi’s heart jumped fiercely. The bad premonition became stronger and stronger.

In the next second, the courtyard was suddenly brightly lit and noisy. An aggressive voice sounded: “You still dare to say that you didn’t steal from the Tang family!”

This voice was Huo Yiran!
