Chapter 8
Tsk, the Truth Back Then Was Actually Like This?
The servants in the villa arrived the next day, so Yu Anwan wasn’t worried at all. On the other hand, Dabao and Xioabao were adapting very well.
As for the school matters, Yu Anwan wasn’t in a rush to handle it. It would not be too late to handle it after she had settled the matters at hand.
But now, Yu Anwan had more important things to attend to.
It had been six years, and it was time to settle the score with the Yu family.
Yu Anwan also intended to retrieve the belongings left behind by Han Qingqiu in the Yu family years ago.
With these thoughts in mind, Yu Anwan sneered and swiftly concealed her emotions.
“Dabao, Mommy will be going out for a while, but I’ll be back soon. Take good care of Xiaobao and call me if you need anything, okay?” Yu Anwan carefully instructed Yu Dabao.
“I understand,” Yu Dabao replied nonchalantly.
Yu Dabao’s expression showed annoyance at Yu Anwan’s wordiness, which left her silent. Lately, she noticed that Yu Dabao was deeply absorbed in his thoughts, no longer the adorable child he used to be.
Perhaps it was because she had seen Wen Jin, but Yu Anwan even felt that Yu Dabao was almost possessed by Wen Jin. The more she looked at him, the more likely he was.
This thought sent a shiver down Yu Anwan’s spine.
On the other hand, Yu Xiaobao hugged Yu Anwan’s thigh softly. “Mommy, drive safely. I will miss you so much, really, really miss you.”
As Yu Xiaobao spoke, she planted a firm kiss on Yu Anwan’s cheek.
These actions instantly brought joy to Yu Anwan. She hugged Yu Xiaobao and kissed her. “Xiaobao is the cutest. Mommy loves Xiaobao! Xiaobao couldn’t be like your older brother and be too serious!”
Yu Xiaobao covered her mouth and chuckled.
After some mother-and-daughter affection, Yu Anwan finally drove away.
Yu Xiaobao watched Yu Anwan’s car leave and turned to look at Yu Dabao and said, “Brother, can’t you comfort Mommy? Mommy is a delicate woman who needs someone to comfort her.”
Yu Xiaobao winked mischievously at Yu Dabao, her innocent and playful side completely different from her previous adorable self.
Yu Dabao smiled at Yu Xiaobao and replied, “Xiaobao, do you want your brother?”
Yu Xiaobao was stunned for a moment and asked, “Aren’t you, my brother?” Suddenly, she realized something and said, “You mean our brother!”
Yu Dabao grunted, and Yu Xiaobao immediately clung to him. “How can we bring our brother back? Mommy wants him too.”
Yu Dabao lowered his head and whispered into Yu Xiaobao’s ear. Yu Xiaobao nodded repeatedly, her bright eyes twinkled, brimming with anticipation.
And so, the siblings high-fived, effortlessly forming a little secret.
At the same time, Yu Anwan’s car had already stopped at the entrance of the Yu family residence.
Today, the Yu family was exceptionally lively. It was Yu Anxin’s engagement ceremony, and the people who came were all influential in Jiang City. Yu Anwan got out of the car and looked at everything in front of her with a mischievous smile.
The Yu family valued their reputation greatly. If this wedding were to be ruined under such circumstances, wouldn’t it be thrilling?
Heh… they deserved it. They owed Yu Anwan, and she wouldn’t let a single one of them off the hook. Besides, it had been many years since the resentment with Yu Anxin began, so there was no way she could simply let it go.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Anwan calmly walked towards the Yu family residence.
She was dressed in a short, slim-fitting royal blue gown, exposing her fair, long legs to the air. She wore high heels of the same color and had exquisite makeup on her face.
This version of Yu Anwan was completely different from what the Yu family members had ever seen before.
In the eyes of the Yu family, Yu Anwan had always been a slightly plump woman who wore no makeup every day. She was completely different from the elegant woman she was now.
Yu Anwan held an invitation card in her hand, and the security guard at the entrance glanced at it before his gaze fixed directly on Yu Anwan. He promptly let her in.
Yu Anwan had grown accustomed to this kind of admiring gaze over the years so she was very composed.
She had lived in the Yu family for many years, so she was very familiar with the scenery and everything in the Yu family. Tonight’s engagement party was held on the lawn of the Yu family.
Yu Anwan looked at the lawn, which was still being prepared, but she wasn’t in a hurry. She calmly walked towards the lounge on the first floor, where Yu Anxin was getting ready.
However, as Yu Anwan approached the door, she heard Yu Anxin discussing something inside, and to her surprise, it was about her.
Yu Anwan never expected to hear her name again after being separated for six years.
She stood quietly at the door, her eyes fixed on the lounge as she listened calmly.
Yu Anxin was the center of attention tonight. Even though it was an engagement ceremony, Yu Anxin couldn’t change her extravagant style. Her white fishtail gown was a custom-made Dior haute couture piece, tailored specifically in Paris.
Even the female companions tonight were wearing Dior dresses. It was obvious how extravagant it was.
“Why do you mention that wretched woman, Yu Anwan? She’s been dead for so many years,” Yu Anxin looked at herself in the mirror, growing increasingly satisfied. “She’s just the illegitimate daughter of the Yu family. Did she think marrying into the Wen family would make her a Cinderella? But what happened? Didn’t she end up as a corpse on the streets?”
These words made the surrounding female companions giggle and cover their mouths.
These were all Yu Anxin’s close friends, and they were well aware of Yu Anxin’s preferences, especially when it came to belittling Yu Anwan.
Yu Anxin could match Yu Anwan in every aspect. However, Yu Anwan resorted to despicable means during the marriage alliance with the Wen family and successfully gained power.
This caused Yu Anxin, the legitimate heiress of the Yu family, to feel ashamed in Jiang City. It was as ironic as it could be.
A legitimate heiress was no match for an illegitimate daughter. Of course, Yu Anxin couldn’t take this lying down. Since young, Yu Anxin had always wanted to snatch the things that Yu Anwan liked. She hated Yu Anwan to the core and couldn’t bear to see Yu Anwan happy.
Even until Yu Anwan’s death, Yu Anxin wished she could dig her up and make her suffer.
“However, if Yu Anwan were still alive, it would be even more exciting. Imagine her expression when she finds out that the man she liked ended up getting engaged to me. I can’t even imagine how miserable she would be,” Yu Anxin said, smiling proudly.
The female companions around her joined in, supporting Yu Anxin. “Song Yan isn’t a fool. Why would he choose Yu Anwan when he could have someone as beautiful as you? Besides, there must be a reason why Song Yan sincerely treats you well. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have cooperated with you to frame Yu Anwan back then.”
These words delighted Yu Anxin.
Meanwhile, Yu Anwan, standing at the door, her gaze darkened, emitting a dangerous aura. She never expected the truth of what happened back then to be like this.
When Song Yan returned to the country, everything from staining their clothes to what followed was all planned by this adulterous couple. Was it all just to make Wen Jin misunderstand her? To confine her?
