Chapter 0466

His name is Yu Chengqun, and he’s quite notorious at Jingda University—known as the top playboy on campus.

To define the exact relationship between the two, they weren’t just classmates but also former rivals in love.

Yu Chengqun had feelings for Chen Qingtian, and in terms of family background, he far outshone Fang Buxia.

He was the eldest grandson of the Yu Family, one of the top-tier families in the capital.

While Shanghai had its Four Great Families, the capital had its so-called Five Great Families.

The families in the capital were more low-key, so they weren’t as widely recognized as those in Shanghai, but within elite circles, their status was undeniably higher.

The original Five Great Families of the capital were the Luo, Yu, Ai, Yi, and Chen Families.

Now, the five were the Yi, Yu, Ai, Chen, and Zhang Families.

The Yi Family, needless to say, was a lineage of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners—a respected old-money family that even the most powerful figures had to tread carefully around, since no one could guarantee they wouldn’t need their services someday.

Previously, the Yi Family had been at the bottom of the five, but thanks to their ties with Luo Yao, they had now risen to the top.

The Yu Family, a long-standing powerhouse in the capital, specialized in financial investments, excelling at high-risk, high-reward maneuvers. They were the wealthiest among the current Five Great Families.

Yu Chengqun, as the Yu Family’s eldest grandson, was betrothed since childhood to Ai Xianbai of the Ai Family.

These two were quite the pair—both loved to play around and had an agreement to do as they pleased before marriage.

But that wasn’t all. At times, they even helped each other in their escapades, which was downright scandalous.

The Chen Family was Chen Qingtian’s family—the poorest among the five and the only one without a formal family head. They were so low-profile that many often overlooked them, despite their deep political roots.

Their influence in politics was unmatched. The most formidable figure in the Chen Family wasn’t from Chen Xiao’s branch but his younger brother, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese military.

As for the Zhang Family? They were nothing but upstart nouveaux riches—the so-called “pigs that flew with the wind.” They weren’t well-regarded in elite circles.

But that was just surface-level disdain. In reality, the Zhangs were the only family in China with no significant historical backing yet managed to rise to the top in an astonishingly short time.

This was precisely why they were envied to death, yet no one could do anything about it.

After the Luo Family withdrew from the Five Great Families, the Zhangs immediately took their place.

Why did the Luo Family step down?

Because Luo Yao had transcended that level. Her ruthless purge of the Luo Family meant she became a lone wolf, scorned by the other families.

If you don’t like me, fine—I don’t need your approval either. So she simply exited the elite family hierarchy.

But who would dare underestimate this woman standing at the pinnacle of power?

Now, back to why Fang Buxia crossed paths with Yu Chengqun.

Fang Buxia wanted to see Chen Qingtian, but he had no idea where she was and didn’t dare call her. So he resorted to asking an old, insignificant classmate for information.

That classmate happened to be Zhuang Bifan—Yu Chengqun’s lackey.

All these years, Yu Chengqun had never given up on the idea of possessing Chen Qingtian.

She was the one woman he desperately wanted but had never succeeded in conquering.

When Zhuang Bifan relayed Fang Buxia’s inquiry, Yu Chengqun—who happened to be on one of his campus escapades—summoned Fang Buxia immediately.

Yu Chengqun had always believed that Fang Buxia was the biggest obstacle in his pursuit of Chen Qingtian.

Back in high school, Yu Chengqun still had some semblance of restraint, so he never laid a hand on Fang Buxia.

But now, fully embracing his role as a spoiled heir, he saw no reason to treat ordinary people with respect. To him, they were toys—to beat, break, or bed as he pleased.

Or even… kill.

Just last night, Yu Chengqun ran into Fang Buxia on Jingda University’s campus and immediately launched into mockery.

“Well, well, if it isn’t our former heartthrob? Back from abroad and didn’t even bother telling your old classmates? What, scared Ai Xianbai might come after you?”

Ai Xianbai was Yu Chengqun’s fiancée—the same woman who had forced herself on Fang Buxia.

Hearing her name froze Fang Buxia for a solid ten seconds, making him feel utterly filthy.

“Ugh…”

In the end, he couldn’t hold back and vomited right there, much to Yu Chengqun’s disgust.

“Damn, you’re disgusting!” Yu Chengqun covered his mouth, wrinkling his nose. “Remember your place—you’re just a nobody. How dare you ever set your sights on Chen Qingtian? Hah…”

His grin turned lecherous.

“Chen Qingtian will be my plaything sooner or later. As for you…”

Before he could finish, Fang Buxia snapped and threw a punch.

“Shut! Up!”

Yu Chengqun might have been a scoundrel, but as a scion of a great family, he’d been trained in combat since childhood.

He dodged Fang Buxia’s attack effortlessly and swiftly knocked him to the ground.

Patting Fang Buxia’s cheek mockingly, Yu Chengqun sneered, “What’s the point of being handsome? You’re just entertainment for people like us.”

Fang Buxia struggled to get up, only to be struck down again.

“Why couldn’t you just stay as Ai Xianbai’s little toy? Had to go after Chen Qingtian, didn’t you? Made that slut obsessed with you.”

“I’ve wanted to deal with you for ages. Too bad you ran off to Japan. But your disappearance made one thing clear—Chen Qingtian doesn’t like you… but she doesn’t like me either.”

Yu Chengqun’s expression twisted with frustration.

“But I still want her. So what should I do? Oh, I know… I’ll use you to lure her out, lock her in a hotel, and have my way with her. Hahahaha!”

His laughter was manic. Chen Qingtian had always been the woman he desired most—once to the point of obsession.

Chen Qingtian had been a lively, spirited child, the oldest among the elite kids and their natural leader.

Back then, Yu Chengqun had followed her around like a puppy.

Every day, a trail of boys would chase after her—she was radiant, untouchable.

But as they grew older, his desire to possess her only intensified.

Yet, as fellow heirs, he couldn’t force her. All he could do was watch as she grew closer to that parentless orphan—Fang Buxia.

What does he have that I don’t?

The thought infuriated him. So he orchestrated a scheme.

At their high school graduation party, he spiked Fang Buxia’s drink with sleeping pills, intending to expose his “true nature” to Chen Qingtian.

His fiancée, Ai Xianbai, played along eagerly—she’d been lusting after Fang Buxia for years.

But to their surprise, Fang Buxia vanished after that night.

Yu Chengqun never got Chen Qingtian.

And Ai Xianbai… never got Fang Buxia.
