Chapter 5  : Forced To Marry!

Song Huating was a Chinese foreign student.

Tang Yu washed her face before leaving the house, heading to the entrance of Song Huating’s rented house.

He was the most famous male student within the Chinese foreign student circle of Carville University.

If Tang Yu was the campus belle, then Song Huating was the campus beau.

They were both talented and beautiful, and because of their studies, they often got together.

They went to the library together, ate together, discussed which Chinese restaurants were most delicious, and gossiped.

They were always together.

It had been two years since, and Tang Yu had still been crushing on him.

He was the reason why she had never looked at her other suitors.

However, they had yet to make any headway in their relationship.

She dialed his number. Instead of Song Huating’s voice, what came out instead was the usual, “Hello, the number you have dialed is unavailable…”

It had been half a month since he had disappeared suddenly.

Despite how much Tang Yu had looked for him, it had been to no avail.

She sat down on the flower bed to her side, feeling deeply lost and hopeless about the future.

“Eh? Are you Tang Yu? Are you looking for Song Huating?”

Song Huating’s roommate suddenly saw her and walked over.

She stood up and waved at him. “Hello, do you know where he went? I have something urgent I need him for…”

“Oh! It seems something came up at home and he returned to his country.”

Tang Yu did not expect him to actually know Song Huating’s whereabouts.

“Then can you help me contact him? Or do you know when he will be back?”

The other party shook his head. “I’m not sure either. It should be awhile since I believe the matter is about his fiancée…”

Tang Yu took two steps back in shock.

Fiancée?!

Song Huating has a fiancée?

How could she never have known about this?!

She realized that all her foolish attempts in the past had been making her look like a clown.

Ignoring the shouts of the boy behind her, she walked aimlessly away. It wasn’t until she sprained her foot that she had to unwillingly sit down on a bench.

Tang Yu looked around as she realized that she had arrived at the park.

Children playing on the lawn behind her, couples in love with picnic blankets, couples chatting incessantly, and vendors. It was the typical scene of a park.

She hugged herself tightly before feeling short vibrations in her pocket. Her uncle had called.

“Hello? Yu’er, where are you? Let’s meet up with Davis tonight. I’ve already shown him your photo and he’s very interested in you!”

She was only twenty years old. To a fifty-year-old man, she was still undoubtedly youthful and beautiful.

Tang Yu bit her lip hard. “But Uncle… I don’t want to go…”

Suddenly, Her uncle’s voice angrily roared out of the phone. “Tang Yu! I didn’t expect you to be so rebellious! Your father has raised you with so much effort and yet this is the way you treat him? Can’t you repay him by sacrificing just a little?”

However, Tang Yu wasn’t that stupid. She knew her uncle was trying to curry favor with that old man.

If she were to give herself to him, although she could get a million and save her father, the benefits that her uncle would get would outweigh hers!

“Uncle, I’m your biological niece. Do you really want to treat me like this?!”

She hung up the phone in anger.

The whole world seemed to be against her. She felt cheated and deceived by the entire world.

Tang Yu thought of the grievances, insults, torture, betrayal, and abandonment that she had suffered over the past few days. She could no longer hold back her emotions and covered her face as she wept.

She cried for an unknown period of time before a square handkerchief was suddenly handed over to her.

Tang Yu awkwardly took it and wiped her tears. “Thank you…”

They seemed like a kind stranger.

She felt a little warmth and raised her head to look at the other party.

Against the light, Tang Yu saw a handsome man dressed in a white top and black pants.

The man wore gold-rimmed glasses, but it did not affect his looks at all.

He looked refined and clean. Tang Yu couldn’t help but feel a sense of abstinence from him.

“It’s only been a few hours, and Miss Tang doesn’t recognize me anymore?”

Such a familiar voice… Tang Yu’s eyes instantly widened.

“Miles?! Is that you? How could it be you?!”

How could it be?

Tang Yu stood up. His height was exactly as before, but why was his appearance and aura completely different?

Wasn’t he just an ordinary man with greasy hair, poor clothes, and unkempt pants?

How had he suddenly become this handsome in front of her?

Was it really him?

Yet if it wasn’t, who else could it be?

Tang Yu looked at Miles in disbelief before suddenly remembering some scenes from last night. She couldn’t help but feel awkward.

He looked at her reaction and smiled. “I was passing by when I saw you, so I wanted to come over to take a look. What’s wrong? Why are you weeping so badly?”

Tang Yu couldn’t help but think about how she had been manipulated into marriage by her uncle. She sat down, discouraged.

“Don’t mention it. Miles, I’m so sorry. Remember the five thousand dollars I promised you last night? I may not be able to pay you.”
