Chapter 8:

Capture

I thought time would heal all wounds.

But I still keep getting texts and calls from Uncle Shane Yu inviting me out. I usually answer and hang up immediately, then block him.

Next week is my aunt’s son Ethan Yu’s baby’s one-month celebration.

“Mom, I have English tutoring next week, so I won’t be going to the celebration.” Actually, I knew Uncle Shane Yu would definitely be there.

My mother questioned me somewhat disapprovingly, “You child, when did you become so eager to study? Your aunt said she missed you yesterday!”

“I won’t go now, I’ll visit her on Sunday when I have time,” I replied, and went straight to my room.

I went to my tutoring class, and Chris He was waiting for me at the entrance.

“I’m taking Russian tutoring next door, let me walk you home.”

I nodded, looking at his clean smile.

We walked side by side, and he tried to communicate with me more. “Sharon, where do you want to go for graduate school?”

“I want to go to Beijing or Xiamen, but I don’t know if I can get in. The cutoff scores are pretty high.”

“Sharon, you can do it! I’d be happy to help if you need anything,” Chris He said sincerely.

“Chris, thank you! I don’t want to hold you back. You have a lot of studies to do. Let’s put our relationship aside for now.” I’ve been feeling very confused lately and don’t really want to talk about relationships.

“Sharon, I won’t let it interfere with my studies. I’ll even help you improve your grades. Can you please not mention breaking up with me?”

Chris He’s eyes lit up with disappointment at the mention of putting our relationship aside. My good mood instantly plummeted.

“Chris, I…”

Chris He gripped my shoulders tightly, saying excitedly, “Sharon, I don’t want to break up. Please stop! Please!”

“…” I remained silent. I didn’t know how to start. It wasn’t that I didn’t like Chris; it’s just that my mind was a mess lately.

“Sharon!” Chris He called out to me, seeing me deep in thought.

“Okay!” I nodded.

Chris He hugged me happily, as if trying to meld me into his body.

The beeping of a Range Rover came from behind. The window rolled down, revealing my uncle’s grim face. He glared at Chris He and me, his eyes seeming to want to devour us alive.

I grabbed Chris He’s hand and started running. I wanted to get as far away from Uncle Shane Yu as possible, as if he were a demon.

Behind us, Shane Yu’s eyes were terrifying, like bloodlust. His eyebrows were furrowed, and he exuded a chilling aura, like a demon from hell.

Shane Yu thought: She doesn’t answer my calls, doesn’t reply to my texts, and even hung up on me. She’s hugging and kissing another guy in the street, acting like she didn’t see anything, and she even dared to run away with another man. Fine! Very well! Will she still be so tough once she’s in my hands?

Sharon Yao and Chris He ran for a long time before stopping in an alley.

“Sharon, what’s wrong? Was that your uncle?”

I answered breathlessly. “Hmm, I don’t want to talk to him.”

“He didn’t follow, don’t run away.”

“Okay.” I nodded!

The day before the full moon celebration, my aunt sent me a voice and video call, hoping I would attend. She wanted me to hold the baby a lot so my little niece could grow up to be as beautiful as me.

I thought about it for a moment. There were so many people at the celebration, what could my uncle possibly do?

…My mom and I arrived at my aunt’s house, and I immediately spotted Uncle Shane Yu, who was acting very gentle and refined. I saw his older brother was also there; I had cried so much that day, and he didn’t recognize me.

I ran over to see my little niece; her small eyes were so beautiful.

“So cute!” I said, hugging my little niece.

“I hope she grows up to be as beautiful as you!” my sister-in-law said happily.

“Haha~” I smiled modestly. “She’ll definitely be prettier than me! After all, she has such excellent genes from my brother and sister-in-law.”

“Aunt Sharon Yao is so good with words!” My aunt took my little niece and happily played with her. “Let’s go, hurry to the hotel! The guests are all here,” my uncle instructed.

I followed my brother, wanting to get into his car.

“Sharon Yao, come sit in my car!” Uncle Shane Yu called from behind.

“No need! I’ll just sit in my brother’s car.” I didn’t even bother calling him uncle.

“Uncle, Sharon Yao can sit in my car!” my brother replied politely, I didn’t even bother turning around.

In the car, my brother asked, “Sharon Yao, you seem rather unfriendly to my uncle?”

“I just don’t like associating with jerks,” I said righteously.

“Haha~” My brother kept laughing. “Don’t let my uncle hear this, he’s probably quite cunning!”

“Brother, you’re both of the Yu family bloodline, you have to treat your sister-in-law well.”

My brother patted my head and said, “You’re still young, what do you know? Don’t act like this with my uncle, you’ll see him all the time.”

“I know!” I nodded obediently. I thought to myself: You have no idea how much of a jerk your uncle is. He forcibly kissed me, and almost…

I was sitting super far from Uncle Shane Yu in the hotel, quickly eating in a corner.

“Mom, I have class this afternoon, I have to go.”

“Go on, kid! Be careful on the road!” Mom instructed.

“Okay!”
I had just left the hotel, a few steps ahead to hail a taxi.

But as I was walking, Uncle Shane Yu grabbed my wrist from behind.

I saw Shane Yu ask in surprise, “You… what are you doing here?”

Uncle Shane Yu’s handsome profile held a cold smile: “I’ve been watching you for a long time, just waiting for you!”

Uncle Shane Yu picked me up, and I froze for a moment. “Let me go.”

He ignored my resistance, threw me into his Bentley, and got in himself. He ordered, “Old Xu, drive.”

Then he manually pressed the partition, separating me from the driver’s seat.

I was terrified inside the car, trembling slightly.

Shane Yu lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled the smoke. He looked at me, trembling, and said, “Now you’re scared? What were you thinking when you rejected me?”

“Where are you taking me? I have class this afternoon.” I tried to remain calm.

Shane Yu looked at me, tense, and laughed heartily, unrestrained.

“To a place where no one will bother us.” His voice sounded like a demon from hell.

I curled up in the corner of the car, arms crossed, looking lonely and helpless.

I picked up my phone to call my brother and tell them I was with Uncle Shane Yu.

He watched me make the call, not stopping me, a wicked grin on his face: “Go ahead and call. And tell them I’ve taken a liking to you, and that you’re my woman today. Do you think my brother will force me to marry you?”

I roared angrily, “How can you be so shameless! Who wants to marry you?” I was so angry I dropped my phone. “Let me out of the car, or I’ll report you for sexual harassment.” Shane Yu laughed heartily, “Go ahead and report me. Remember, in Shengcheng, I, Shane Yu, am the king!”
