Yun Liu could feel her temper rise in her chest. “What?” she said coldly. “Not afraid that I’ll make a scene at your sister’s wedding?”

Yun Zhang wasn’t anxious at all. “How are you going to do that, hmm? Cry and throw yourself into Shi Nian’s arms and say that you love him the most? Putting aside the question of whether you’ll be able to get into Shi Nian’s arms, even if your fantasy comes true, you’ll only end up a joke. After that, wherever you go, people will point and say, ‘Hey, isn’t she that young lady from the Gu family? The Gu family’s discipline and values are just terrible. The Yun family raised her to be gentle and demure, but deep down, she still inherited the Gu family’s inherent bad habits. Look how she turned out after the short time she spent with them.’ Do you think the Gu family would hate you then?”

Yun Liu was so furious that she could barely breathe for a second. Yun Zhang smiled and said, “I will still come and be the hero who saves the damsel in distress. I’ll take you away and say that you have mental problems and need treatment. Then, I can justifiably send you to a mental hospital. That is the perfect ending for you. And after I get rid of you, I can start living a normal life.”

Yun Liu’s entire body trembled, and she glared at him viciously. “I will never let you have your way!” she said fiercely. “Yun Zhang, I hate you!”

Yun Zhang waved his hand and left, not bothered at all, and Yun Liu slumped to the ground, dejected.

‘Yun Zhang has made it clear that he wants to trap me until death so I couldn’t hurt Yun Nan because Yun Nan’s his biological sister! Ha, what a joke!’ Yun Liu mentally sneered. ‘Everyone in this family feels like they owe Yun Nan, and the way they portray their apology to Yun Nan is to trample me down under their feet, using this method to make up for the guilt in their heart, and attributing all their mistakes to their biasedly listening to, believing in, and doting on me. On what grounds?!’

Yun Liu had also tried to contact her biological mother, but Zheng Xiu only had her son, Gu He, on her mind. Ever since Chen Yao had Gu He’s studies arranged, Zheng Xiu’s world had narrowed to her son, and only him. All other disputes had nothing to do with her. Yun Liu, the daughter she’d found decades after going missing, was even more irrelevant to her.

Yun Liu hated herself for being so blind as to be born to such a family. Now, looking at Yun Nan, who was smiling beatifically, Yun Liu wished she could turn into a ball of fire and burn her to death, have Yun Nan perish together with her.

However, Yun Zhang stuck to her like a burr, following her everywhere, step-for-step, and even his eyes never left her form. Seeing this, from time to time, people around them would talk and discuss, “The Yun family’s young master truly dotes on their adopted daughter. It’s obvious he has deep feelings for her. It’s not surprising; they grew up together, after all.”

“The Yun family has quite the good fortune. Their biological daughter has become the young mistress of the Shi family, and the adopted daughter they raised will become their daughter-in-law. Although it sounds a little awkward when you put it that way, the two did grow up together after all so they know each other’s temperament and personality, which isn’t a bad thing. In the past, there’s something similar called *tongyangxi1!”

“Oh, you’re too old-fashioned. They call it ‘wife husbandry’ now! I also think it’s not a bad idea. A daughter-in-law you’ve raised yourself would be more considerate, and there won’t be any sordid disagreements between the mother- and daughter-in-laws. It really is perfect!”

Yun Liu’s heart filled with disgust hearing those words, but she didn’t dare to make any movements. She was afraid that if she made a vomiting action now, rumors of her being pregnant would spread immediately. She knew the power of public opinion well and clearly. Once upon a time, she had also used public opinion to create a lot of trouble for Yun Nan. She never expected that she would one day be enmeshed in a trap of her own devising.

Like Yun Liu, Shi Xiu was also preoccupied. At this moment, she was accompanying Yun Nan and Fang Xi in toasting the guests. She had a bright smile on her face, but she was anxious and uneasy underneath it all. She would glance down at her watch from time to time, and every minute was a torture.

She could hear cheerful voices and laughter all around and close to her ears, but it also seemed very far away from her. She wished she could leave this place immediately and go to the Shi family’s villa near the eastern suburbs to take a look. Heavy troops guarded that place, armed and ready. If someone attacked that villa today, there could only be one target, and it would be Xiang Yang.

And the one who leaked the news about Xiang Yang was Shi Xiu.

Shi Xiu only told one person. Therefore, if something happened at the villa, the mastermind could only be that person. That was the result Shi Xiu least desired, the result she could least accept.

She raised her head in anticipation, hoping to see Chang Yuan’s figure at the door. No one made the realization that Chang Yuan actually wasn’t here on such an important day as Shi Nian’s wedding. That was because he had a more important mission to carry out elsewhere.

Shi Xiu anxiously waited for Chang Yuan’s arrival. A warm hand rested on her shoulder. Shi Xiu turned her head and met her brother’s firm but gentle gaze. Shi Nian gently rubbed his little sister’s shoulder without saying anything. Tears pricked Shi Xiu’s eyes, and she lowered them.

“Shi Xiu, you’re still young,” Shi Nian whispered in her ear. “Being deceived is a compulsory lesson in life. You don’t have to take it to heart.”

Shi Xiu gave him a teary smile. “I know, Shi Nian. I understand.” But understanding and acceptance were two different things.

‘I guess, in this world, things not going as one wishes is the norm,’ Shi Xiu mentally sighed.
