Yun Nan was surprised and shared a look with Fang Xi. ‘ What kind ofperson says such things? they thought.
The woman sized Yun Nan up and said disdainfully, “As expected, you’re a lowly commoner. You’re so uneasy and have such narrow views; you seem like an inexperienced country bumpkin. Hmph! Gu Wen, why bother with people like that? Such folks are beneath us; didn’t I always teach you that? How could you forget?”
Gu Wen perked up when she heard this and took on a scornful expression. Yun Liu lightly bit her lip and looked as if she’d mustered up a great deal of courage to timidly say, “Yun Nan, this is my aunt, Madam Gu. This is my birth mother,
Little Madam Gu. This is my cousin, Gu Wen.”
‘Birth mother? Yun Nan thought and looked at Yun Liu, shocked.
Yun Liu straightened her back slightly and gently uttered, “I used to be very envious of you for being able to find your biological parents after you went missing for so many years. I didn’t expect that I would also be so lucky to find my biological parents. I’m returning to my biological parents like you did, Yun Nan. I hope you can reconcile with your parents soon and return to the Yun family—they’re worried about you.”
The woman Yun Liu called her mother looked deeply at Yun Liu and seemed very pleased with her demeanor.
Although Yun Nan didn’t know how Yun Liu suddenly had a birth mother— what was that all about?—she smiled and said, “Then, congratulations, Yun
Liu. ”
Yun Liu smiled. “What happened just now was probably a misunderstanding.
Gu Wen, can you drop this matter for my sake? She likely didn’t mean it.”
Gu Wen snorted and glared at Xiang Yang. “Hmph! Alright, but only because you asked so nicely!”
Gu Wen turned around and made to leave, but Xiang Yang took a step sideways and blocked her path. She stood before Gu Wen and spoke with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes, “Oho, that’s some big talk there!” She turned to Yun Liu, “I don’t need anyone to speak for me, and who are you to do so anyway?” Then, she addressed Gu Wen, “Don’t bother with whom? Come, let’s settle this properly. Show me what you got!”
Gu Wen’s expression immediately darkened. “Who do you think you are? How dare you block my wav! Don’t think that just because we’re from out of town,
we don’t have any connections in the local area. Let me tell you, the Shi family —the wealthiest family in the city—is our relative!”
This time, it was Xiang Yang and Yun Nan who looked at each other. ‘They’re relatives of the Shi family?
Xiang Yang laughed. “You’re related to the Shi family? What relatives? How many times removed are you? Tell me, and let me broaden my horizons!”
Yun Liu’s expression changed slightly, but she hesitated and didn’t stop Gu Wen. “Why should I tell you anything? You’re not worth my time, hmph!” Gu
Wen scoffed.
Xiang Yang didn’t get angry. She smiled and replied, “Alright, since I’m not worthy of your time, then I’ll call two people who are worthy over.” Before she could turn around to call Shi Ke and Shi Nian over, she saw someone quickly walking towards them.
“Gu Wen, what are you all doing? Why are you still out here?” It was Gu Man, clad in a fiery red skirt.
Gu Wen saw Gu Man coming over and shouted, “Gu Man, good timing! There’s a pest here insisting I tell her about our relationship with the Shi family. Hmph! Gu Wen, come tell her personally that your fiancé is the Shi family’s second young master, Shi Nian!”
“And it’s not just Shi Nian. Our little brother is also about to propose to the Shi family’s only daughter. We’re in-laws with the Shi family!” Gu Wen said gloatingly. Yun Liu silently retreated and gave the stage to the two Gu sisters.
Xiang Yang laughed so hard she bent over double. She had no choice but to hold onto Yun Nan for support before she could control herself and managed to stand properly. Xiang Yan panted and chuckled, “Yun Nan, did you hear that? She said—said that this woman is Shi Nian’s fiancée! Hahaha, this is so funny! Fang Xi, go and get Ye Kun. Didn’t he say that Yun Nan should tell him if Shi Nian bullies her? He offered to help her beat Shi Nian up if that happened. Look, isn’t this an opportunity for him to do so?”
It was a scene too good for Fang Xi to pass up. “Alright!” Fang Xi answered and straightaway turned around and walked towards their private room. Gu Man also saw Yun Nan and was so embarrassed that she had trouble speaking for a moment.
Yun Nan smiled. “Now, now, Yun Liu. You are a local, so you know the people and affairs here perfectly well. Yet, you didn’t tell your family the truth and let them make a fool of themselves here. What’s that about, Yun Liu?”
Yun Liu timidly lowered her head. “I don’t know what you mean, Yun Nan. Isn’t it enough that you drove a wedge between my adoptive parents and I at home so they would treat me badly? And now you want to slander me in front of my biological mother? Yun Nan, what do I have to do to make you leave me alone?”
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked pitiful..
