I Don’t Want To Be A Villain - Chapter 7

Tang Mingxi put on his suit jacket and hurriedly walked from the second floor to the courtyard.

At the same time, memories of Huo Yiran gradually appeared in his mind.

As the second cannon fodder in the original novel, Huo Yiran was about the same age as Ye Heng and had just turned 18 this year. He was Tang Mingxi’s nephew who was very close to him.

Although he was his nephew, because he had grown up with Tang Mingxi, they were more like childhood sweethearts.

Huo Yiran had been raised in the Tang family since he was young. He worked with Tang Mingxi to bully cats and dogs and did all kinds of evil. He admired and relied on Tang Mingxi very much and listened to almost everything he said.

He was obviously a good dog under Tang Mingxi who had done all kinds of evil.

When Tang Mingxi rushed to the courtyard, Huo Yiran had already raised the horsewhip in his hand high up and then slammed it down heavily, bringing with it a terrifying gust of wind. With a “whoosh”, it hit Ye Heng’s back. Instantly, his skin and flesh were torn open and blood splattered everywhere.

The young man groaned. His heart and lungs were damaged and a trace of red flowed out of the corner of his mouth.

However, his eyes were like those of an evil spirit. His eyes were pure black without a trace of light.

When he looked at Huo Yiran, it was as if he was looking at a dead person.

Tang Mingxi’s expression changed. When Huo Yiran lashed out the second time, he immediately shouted, “Stop!”

Huo Yiran put away the whip. When he saw Tang Mingxi, he immediately put away his vicious face and changed into a sweet smile. “Uncle!”

Then, he realized what Tang Mingxi had said and curled his lips. “Why are you speaking up for this trash?”

Tang Mingxi stopped and only then did he see the whole courtyard clearly.

Other than Huo Yiran and Ye Heng in the courtyard, there was also a pale-faced Tang Nuo standing at the side!

The servants in the courtyard lowered their heads in fear. Messy clothes were scattered on the snow and there were also traces of people being dragged. It was probably caused by the scuffle when Huo Yiran dragged Ye Heng here.

Tang Mingxi’s heart was beating like thunder, especially when Ye Heng looked over. His hatred pierced through his heart and stabbed directly into his body.

Tang Mingxi:… So scary.

He was so scared that his entire body was cold!

Brother male lead, every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt has its debtor. It was Huo Yiran who hit you, not me!

Tang Mingxi took a deep breath and looked at Huo Yiran. “Why are you here?”

Huo Yiran revealed a mouthful of pure white teeth, “Uncle, I heard that this trash Ye Heng dared to make a move on you, so I came to vent your anger for you. In the end, I found out that this trash actually stole things! ”

Huo Yiran had followed Tang Mingxi’s lead since he was young. Ever since he heard that Tang Mingxi was injured, he had rushed to the Tang family’s old mansion without stopping to teach Ye Heng a lesson.

In his heart, Tang Mingxi had always been glorious and unrestrained. The only stain in his life was Ye Heng.

As Tang Mingxi’s most loyal dog, he would definitely bite Ye Heng every time he saw him. He would tear off his skin and flesh and not let Ye Heng have an easy time!

“Stealing?” Tang Mingxi cursed inwardly, “You’re asking for trouble!” But on the surface, he remained unmoved. “What did he steal?”

“He stole clothes from the Tang family!” Huo Yiran licked his lips and used his foot to pick up the clothes on the ground. He said contemptuously, “He’s just a poor and useless son-in-law. Where did he get the money to buy clothes? The clothes on the ground must be expensive. If he didn’t steal them from the Tang family, what else could it be? ”

Tang Mingxi carefully looked at the clothes on the ground and suddenly realized that Huo Yiran’s words seemed to make sense.

The suits, windbreakers, outerwear, and even quilts scattered on the ground were not things that Ye Heng could use in the Tang family.

A few of them even had the Tang family’s emblem embroidered on them.

He frowned and thought for a moment. From the corner of his eye, he saw Tang Nuo’s strange expression. Suddenly, he had an epiphany.

— — Tang Nuo had secretly sent these clothes to Ye Heng!

In the original novel, there was a plot like this.

As Ye Heng’s only good friend, Tang Nuo couldn’t bear to see him freeze in the winter, so he avoided the Tang family’s servants and secretly sent Ye Heng a change of clothes.

Who knew that this scene would be coincidentally witnessed by the “villain scum” Huo Yiran. He clearly knew that the clothes were sent by Tang Nuo, but he still lied through his teeth and accused Ye Heng of stealing.

“The Best Son-in-Law in the City” was a novel about the male lead’s counterattack. In the early stages, the male lead was as miserable and as unlucky as he could be.

Tang Mingxi instantly had a headache.

Ye Heng half-knelt on the ground and stood up shakily. He coughed out a mouthful of bloody saliva and said in a hoarse voice, “I didn’t steal it.”

After saying this, Ye Heng himself was stunned. Was he crazy? What was there to explain to this scum?

“You didn’t steal it?” Huo Yiran laughed. He was handsome and very young. When he laughed, his smile full of evil. “You mean that I misunderstood you? These clothes with the family’s emblem on the ground ran into your room on their own?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Nuo’s face turned snow-white. He stared at Ye Heng and couldn’t help but clench his fists.

That’s right, he had secretly sent the clothes to Ye Heng. After his rebirth, he had never had the chance to meet Ye Heng alone.

Tonight, he had finally found an opportunity to send a favor to the future Ye Family Head. In the end, before he could send the favor, he had been caught red-handed by Huo Yiran at the door!

In his memory, there had been such an incident in his previous life. Tang Nuo simply beat him at his own game. He was prepared to give Ye Heng an even bigger favor when he was punished!

He had lived two lives and was confident that he had a way to help Ye Heng escape.

However, Huo Yiran had been Tang Mingxi’s follower since he was young. Of course, he didn’t have a good impression of him. If he found out that he had secretly sent clothes to Ye Heng, then the image he had painstakingly built in front of Tang Yun would be completely ruined.

Tang Nuo was still a little worried. His heart thumped and cold sweat silently slid down the back of his head.

Ye Heng… wouldn’t sell him out, right… After all, he was here to help him.

In the snow, the youth only stood silently. Facing Huo Yiran’s aggressive tone, he didn’t open his mouth to point out Tang Nuo.

Tang Nuo heaved a sigh of relief after surviving a calamity. At the same time, he was secretly happy.

It seemed that his previous life wasn’t an illusion. This young Ye Family Head’s attitude towards him was really different from others.

Ye Heng was silent. Huo Yiran couldn’t force him to say anything. This made him, who had originally come to find trouble, walk two circles on the ground in annoyance.

Suddenly, his expensive leather shoes stepped on a soft, cotton-like thing.

Huo Yiran tilted his head to look. It was a handmade scarf with exquisite workmanship. The color was chosen just right. The design was simple but exquisite. The small words “Safe and Smooth” were embroidered on the corner. It could be seen that the embroiderer had put in a lot of effort.

The moment he stepped on the scarf, Ye Heng’s expression was no longer indifferent. His expression clearly showed some anger.

Huo Yiran raised his eyebrows as if he had found something fun. He used the tip of his foot to pick up the scarf. Then he heard Ye Heng’s bone-chilling voice, hoarsely saying: “Don’t touch it.”

At the same time, the moment he saw the red scarf, Tang Mingxi’s beautiful almond eyes slightly widened.

This was the last scarf that Ye Yue had knitted for the male lead before she lost her sight!

Huo Yiran seemed to have found a new source of amusement. He shook the scarf and smiled very maliciously: “Ye Heng, since you said you didn’t steal it, then these clothes aren’t yours?”

Alarm bells rang in Tang Mingxi’s heart. In the next second, Huo Yiran took out a lighter and put it under the scarf: “Then it doesn’t matter if I burn it.”

I — —!

Tang Mingxi almost cursed out loud!

How could this brat be so good at courting death?

In the original novel, the scarf was very important to Ye Heng. It was also one of the main reasons why Ye Heng hated the Tang Family. Therefore, he must stop this brat from burning the scarf!

Tang Mingxi’s heart jumped to his throat. At this critical moment, he calmed down and looked at Ye Heng with a frown. He took a deep breath and said: “Why aren’t you picking up the clothes on the ground? I told you to pack the clothes, not to pack them in the courtyard!”

As soon as he finished speaking, three pairs of eyes fell on Tang Mingxi.

Ye Heng was puzzled.

Tang Nuo was surprised. A trace of shock flashed in his eyes: This useless second brother is actually different from what he did in my previous life.

Huo Yiran, on the other hand, was completely stunned!

“Uncle, what are you talking about?” Huo Yiran was stunned and immediately let go of the lighter.

Tang Mingxi raised his head slightly and lied with a noble and expressionless face, “I gave Ye Heng the clothes.”

“How is that possible?!” Huo Yiran was furious: “You lied to me. Tang Nuo clearly gave him the clothes!”

Tang Mingxi:… So you knew. Brat, you were deliberately stirring up trouble!

He coughed dryly and said with a straight face: “I asked Tang Nuo to give it to him. Do you have a problem with that?”

Huo Yiran’s eyes flashed with shock and various other emotions. In the end, it turned into confusion: “… Why? Uncle, don’t you hate him to death?”

In other words, he did not understand why Tang Mingxi would help Ye Heng lie.

“What else?” Tang Mingxi glanced at him and raised his eyebrows. There was an indescribable beauty in his eyes that made Huo Yiran’s heart skip a beat.

Tang Mingxi approached him and a faint sweet fragrance enveloped Huo Yiran. The latter’s Adam’s apple moved up and down uncontrollably for a moment.

Uncle… What kind of fragrance did he use? Huo Yiran felt a little dizzy.

As a straight-blooded man, Tang Mingxi did not realize that the two of them were very close. He only lowered his voice and scolded softly: “Who told you to expose that Tang Nuo gave Ye Heng the clothes? My adopted brother secretly met my husband in the middle of the night. If this gets out, where will I put my face?! Are you really stupid or are you deliberately trying to harm me? Does the Tang family need you to give them such a big joke?”

Tang Mingxi purposely emphasized the last sentence. Huo Yiran’s expression changed and he said with grievance: “I didn’t think so much. I just wanted to help you vent your anger…”

“If you want to help me vent my anger, why did you have to pick this time to do it?” Tang Mingxi heaved a sigh of relief and thought: Although Huo Yiran is bad to others, he is quite naive to me. He is actually so easy to coax?

“Even so, I can’t let him off so easily.” A trace of viciousness flashed across Huo Yiran’s eyes: “Since Tang Nuo knows about the relationship between this trash and you, he still dares to meet in the middle of the night. He doesn’t take you seriously at all!”

Tang Mingxi:… You’re thinking too much, I don’t care.

“Yes. I forgot. Fortunately, second brother remembered. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to solve this matter today.” Tang Nuo spoke up in time and squeezed out an impeccable smile: “Since it’s a misunderstanding, I think everyone should go back to their rooms and rest. It’s snowing so heavily. I don’t want to catch a cold. ”

Ye Heng stood still, but his eyes were fixed on the scarf. His fierce look made it seem as if he would snatch the scarf back in the next second.

Tang Mingxi saw that Ye Heng did not move, so he had no choice but to give himself a way out. He said coldly, “It’s fine if you ruin yourself, but don’t ruin the clothes I bought for you in such heavy snow. Aren’t you going to return it to me? Don’t tell me you intend to return a piece of rag to me? ”

After he finished speaking, he prepared to take the scarf from Huo Yiran and return it to Ye Heng. He had even thought of his next line, which was to say, “Who cares about your stupid scarf?” Not bad, it was perfectly in line with the “Second Young Master” persona!

However, Huo Yiran’s frightening tone cut off Tang Mingxi’s performance.

His expression was extremely bad, and his eyes were bloodshot. He glared at Tang Mingxi furiously. “Uncle, what did you just say?”

Tang Mingxi, “…?”

“Tell me.” He paused after every word, and the jealousy in his eyes almost turned into flames that burned Ye Heng to ashes. “Did you personally buy the clothes that this piece of trash is wearing right now?”

A trace of confusion flashed across Tang Mingxi’s face. Then, he thought to himself, “This is bad. In the original novel, Huo Yiran was a very jealous man. His possessiveness toward “Tang Mingxi” was to the point of perversion!”

He vaguely remembered that the arrogant and willful original owner had never bought anything for anyone since he was young.

Ye Heng was currently the first.

… What a miscalculation!

Tang Mingxi’s body stiffened. Before he could think of a countermeasure, he heard Huo Yiran’s furious voice.
