Chapter 165: You Are Not Yet Powerful Enough

On the way home, Xie Chengyuan kept his head hung low the entire time, looking exactly like a Samoyed dog that had just lost a fight.

He glanced up at Yun Fu secretly and saw that she had no intention of scolding him, which quietly eased his tension.

“Yun Fu…” Just as they reached the apartment complex, a voice suddenly called out.

Yun Fu frowned, looking at the person before her with impatience practically overflowing from her eyes.

“Yun Fu, your brothers are all back. Come home with me.”

At his words, three figures appeared in Yun Fu’s mind, though the original owner hadn’t spent much time with those brothers, so their faces were vague.

Still, they were all from the Yun family, and she didn’t want to deal with them.

She slowly lifted her eyelids and yanked Xie Chengyuan—who was baring his teeth but held no real threat—closer.

Her skin, pale as frost and snow under the winter sun, was chillingly cold.

“Get lost!”

Yun Hao’s face darkened considerably.

He took a deep breath. If it weren’t for the connections behind her, he wouldn’t have bothered to acknowledge this daughter.

Suppressing his anger, Yun Hao forced a smile. “Xiao Fu, Dad knows you’re still upset, you…”

Yun Fu had reached her limit. She extended her foot and with a loud “bang,” dented the car behind him—a clear testament to her strength.

Everyone was stunned. Yun Fu grabbed Xie Chengyuan and glared at Yun Hao sharply.

“If you keep talking nonsense, next time it’ll be you I kick!”

Xie Chengyuan peeked at the dented car and involuntarily shivered.

So scary—good thing he hadn’t provoked his sister before.

Yun Hao hadn’t expected such treatment and left with a grim expression.

Back home, upon seeing the injuries on Xie Chengyuan’s face, their parents scolded him harshly.

They thought the matter was settled, but that night, Yun Fu heard Xie Chengyuan’s angry voice from the next room.

“How dare you speak ill of my sister! Even if she’s just trying to appease me, I choose to believe her! It’s none of your business!”

“Shut up! You’re just sour grapes because you can’t have what we have!”

What was said next was unclear, but with a sharp “click,” Xie Chengyuan must have hung up the phone.

Yun Fu sighed. That kid was really so immature.

Despite her disdain, she pushed open the door and knocked on the next room.

“Sis?” Xie Chengyuan appeared, full of guilt. “Did I wake you?”

Yun Fu glanced at him and stepped inside.

On the desk lay a broken pen—he must have been furious earlier.

“What did they say?”

Xie Chengyuan lowered his head, embarrassed to speak.

Feeling her burning gaze, he finally forced words out: “They… they said I’m lying… and that you’re faking it… anyway, sis, don’t mind them. I’ll beat them up again next time.”

Yun Fu looked him over, finally resting her gaze on his slightly swollen face.

“Is that all you’ve got?”

Feeling scorned, Xie Chengyuan lowered his head further, as if his ears would droop if he had any.

Yun Fu reached out and ruffled his hair, finding it pleasantly soft.

Then she picked up the phone on the desk and handed it to him.

“Call them.”

“???” Confused but compelled by her determined look, Xie Chengyuan obediently dialed.

The call connected quickly, and a voice with a cracking, adolescent tone sneered, “What’s this, Xie Chengyuan? Feeling guilty? Calling to apologize?”

“Hmph.” Yun Fu scoffed coldly, causing the person on the other end to freeze.

“Only those who lack their own ability question others. You’re just a bunch like that.”

“You!” The voice cut off abruptly, then flared with irritation. “You must be Xie Chengyuan’s sister. No wonder he’s such a mess—he learned all his bad habits from you.”

Unlike Xie Chengyuan’s anger, Yun Fu didn’t even raise an eyelid, her tone still icy.

“Only those who envy others act desperately. At least he has a sister to pretend with. What about you?”

“...” Being young, they were no match for Yun Fu’s sharp wit.

She lazily tapped the desk. “Tomorrow at 3 p.m., Haiyi Grand Hotel. If you see ‘KDS,’ then kneel and apologize to Xie Chengyuan.”

With that, she withdrew her fingers and slipped them into her pockets.

She looked up at the boy now taller than her, his youthful face and eyes unlike any she remembered in other boys.

Within them was vitality and brilliance, not the lifelessness she’d once seen.

She patted Xie Chengyuan on the shoulder.

“You’re too weak. You need to stand at a height where others have to look up to you. Then you’ll realize they’re nothing but clowns.”

After tousling the kid’s hair, Yun Fu strode back to her room, leaving Xie Chengyuan alone, feeling chaotic inside.

He pondered her words and recalled her expression.

He wondered if his sister had gone through a lot to feel this way.

If he truly became strong like she said, would anyone dare doubt him?

A seed quietly sprouted in the boy’s heart.

Back in her room, Yun Fu sent a message in the group chat.

“See you tomorrow at 3 p.m. in J City.”

The message quickly stirred a frenzy.

“Ahhh, Coach, you finally agreed to let us visit your home for New Year!”

“I want to go! Training here every day is suffocating! I’m booking my ticket right now!”

“We’re taking the fastest flight! Coach, wait for us!”

“Oh yes! I’m so excited!”

Watching the lively chat, Yun Fu quietly set down her phone and drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Xie Chengyuan looked at his sister’s usual calm demeanor and felt a bit anxious, but recalling her words from last night, he firmly pushed the doubt aside.

After lunch, Yun Fu led Xie Chengyuan out the door.

Once outside, Xie Chengyuan couldn’t help but chatter nervously.

“Sis, will KDS really come?”

Yun Fu shot him a glance.

Xie Chengyuan zipped his lips, mimicking the gesture.

When they arrived at Haiyi Grand Hotel, a crowd of boys around Xie Chengyuan’s age was already waiting.

Seeing the two, they swarmed over.

“Xie Chengyuan, they said KDS will come today. Is it true? I heard your sister invited them. You’re so lucky!”

“Yeah, why don’t I have a sister like that?”

“Xie Chengyuan, can your sister bring us to meet K God and the others too?”
