Urban Seduction: Housewives Club Chapter 15 The Furious Little Sister

"Why are you being so unreasonable?" Lin Ling, typically a headstrong girl, usually reserved her gentle side only for Ye Fei. Faced with Tang Rou's irrational behavior, she found it impossible to suppress her irritation.

"How am I being unreasonable?" Tang Rou snapped back, her own temper rising. Despite her current role as a teacher, she was a recent graduate from a prestigious family and possessed striking beauty; she was not used to being disregarded. To her, these two troublemakers were not only flirting during her lesson but also had the audacity to defy her openly, sparking her inherent princess-like temperament.

Lin Ling's fury peaked as she shouted, "Aren't you the one being unreasonable? I told you we had something to discuss, why won't you listen? Can't you see there's something wrong with his body? Are you here to be a teacher or a taskmaster?"

The heated exchange drew the gaze of nearby students who were busy with their own activities. Noticing that Lin Ling seemed to be in a confrontation with the new instructor, they flocked toward the scene. Ye Yunqi, observing the drama from a distance, rushed over immediately, feeling protective of her brother.

Seeing the growing crowd of students, Tang Rou felt she was losing face and barked, "Stop the nonsense and start running!"

Lin Ling glared, her mouth opening to retort, but Ye Fei held her back. Attempting to de-escalate the tension, he spoke to Tang Rou calmly, "Miss Tang, please don't be angry. We really need to talk to you."

"Quit the chatter and start running!" Tang Rou’s opinion of Ye Fei plummeted further. His seemingly frail attitude only fueled her annoyance, and she had zero interest in his explanations.

"What's going on, bro?" Ye Yunqi asked as she pushed through the crowd. Still confused by the context, she pulled Ye Fei aside to get an answer.

Observing yet another student approaching Ye Fei—especially a beautiful girl who rivaled her own looks—Tang Rou found the dynamics of this class bizarre. It irritated her that such beauties were fussing over a weakling. She said crossly, "This classmate, don't mind him. Let him finish the remaining three laps!"

Ye Yunqi finally understood that the new teacher was forcing her brother to exert himself. She couldn't tolerate anyone outside the family bullying him and was ready to confront the woman. However, out of respect for her role as a teacher, Ye Fei had previously urged her to stay composed. Ye Fei said steadily to Tang Rou, "Teacher, please don't make him run anymore. His health is weak, and it could be dangerous."

"Weak? How come I don't see it?" Tang Rou sneered. "Look at his towering figure. Could he be faking weakness?"

Hearing the insult directed at her brother, Ye Yunqi’s restraint snapped. She yelled, "Are you blind? Can't you see he's exhausted and can barely speak? Or are you just a sadist who enjoys punishing students?"

"What did you say?" Infuriated by the label of sadist, Tang Rou remembered her professional position but couldn't help but sneer, "If you weren't a student, I would teach you a lesson right now!"

While Tang Rou struggled to stay composed, Ye Yunqi had no intention of backing down. She never showed mercy to those who targeted her brother. Balling her hands into fists, she lunged at Tang Rou, shouting, "Let's see who's teaching whom?" Without holding back her strength, she aimed a punch directly at Tang Rou's face, a blow capable of causing real injury.

Tang Rou was also eager to discipline these defiant students. Seeing Ye Yunqi strike first, she shed all her reservations. She parried the punch with her left hand and countered with a sharp chop toward Ye Yunqi's shoulder. Ye Yunqi evaded the strike and aimed for Tang Rou's waist, leading to a fierce exchange. Tang Rou possessed a foundation in family martial arts and a lifelong passion for the craft, which was why she looked down on those who seemed as fragile as Ye Fei.

Although the Tang family’s martial arts weren't as renowned as the Liu family’s, Tang Rou’s age advantage gave her more raw power than Ye Yunqi. The two fought to a standstill, leaving the surrounding students—aside from Ye Fei and Lin Ling—completely shocked. They knew Ye Yunqi was tough, but they never imagined she possessed such skill. The duel between the two women exceeded common understanding; even movie special effects couldn't mimic the raw intensity of their combat.

As the situation spiraled out of control, Ye Fei realized he couldn't stop them alone. Reluctantly, he called Yu Wuxia, knowing she was the only one who could end the conflict.

Tang Rou and Ye Yunqi grew more enraged as the fight progressed, eventually tapping into their true martial arts expertise. The air filled with the sounds of clashing palms and fists, creating a localized gale that forced the spectators to retreat several steps. Both the Tang and Liu styles prioritized agility, and the battle soon moved off the ground. They leaped several meters into the air, exchanging strikes mid-flight, leaving the students in a state of awe.

"What are you doing? Stop this immediately!" Just as the crowd was mesmerized by the display, a soft but commanding voice cut through the air. Everyone turned to see Yu Wuxia approaching.

Upon Yu Wuxia's arrival, the combatants ceased their fighting. Tang Rou fixed a sharp gaze on Ye Yunqi and demanded, "Are you from the Liu family?"

Ye Yunqi snorted in response, "I'm from the Ye family. Why, scared?"

Tang Rou’s heart skipped a beat. A member of the Ye family using Liu family techniques—could it be? She recalled her father mentioning a family friend in Wanghai named Ye, who had married the second daughter of the Liu family. She had tried to visit them the day before but only spoke to a nanny, who mentioned the mistress was at work and the daughters were visiting the young masters. It appeared the "young miss" the nanny referred to was the girl she had just fought.

Looking at Ye Yunqi, Tang Rou also remembered her father mentioning the Ye family son had congenital health problems and was extremely frail. This delicate boy had to be him. She realized Ye Yunqi had called him "brother" earlier, but her anger had blinded her to the detail.

With the realization dawning on her, Tang Rou felt a strange mix of humor and frustration over the chaos caused by the misunderstanding. Yu Wuxia quickly smoothed things over, and as the parties exchanged their backgrounds, the tension began to melt into a potential friendship. However, Ye Yunqi still felt some lingering spite, and Tang Rou maintained a level of disdain for Ye Fei. Regardless of his circumstances, she valued strength above all else and didn't care for his natural physical limitations.
