Yun Zhang smiled. He reached out to tuck Yun Liuâs hair behind her ear and uttered gently, âItâs been a while, Yun Liu. How are you?â
For some reason, Yun Liu shivered and took two steps back, at a loss. Yun Zhang turned his body slightly to reveal Gu Wei behind him. The woman looked Yun Liu over with a complicated gaze, and her smile was forced as she greeted, âYun Liu.â
âMom?â Yun Liu blurted out in surprise and then hastily and subconsciously turned around to look at Zheng Xiu in the living room.
Gu Wei detachedly said, âI raised you. Even if youâve acknowledged your biological parents, I should still deserve being called âMomâ by you, shouldnât
Yun Liu was alarmed. She quickly smiled and looped an arm around Gu Weiâs.
âMom, what are you saying? Youâve always been my mother and always will be.
Weâre mother and daughter for the rest of our lives.â
Gu Weiâs expression lightened slightly but darkened once more when she glanced at Shi Nian in his wheelchair. âWhat are you two heading out for? Why are you the one accompanying Shi Nian? Whereâs Yun Nan? Why is she so insensible, leaving her husband alone when heâs in such a state?â
Shi Nian frowned slightly at that. Yun Liu hurriedly replied, âMom, Yun Nanâs busy, so I brought Shi Nian out for some fresh air. Are you here to look for Auntie Shi today? Then you better head in quickly. Everyoneâs inside.â
Yun Liu couldnât wait to send Gu Wei away, afraid the woman would spring some counterproductive help at this time. Gu Wei looked inside before instructing her son coolly, âYun Zhang, you stay with Yun Liu. We wouldnât want anyone to see her alone with Shi Nian and gossip about her. It wonât affect Shi Nian as heâs already married to Yun Nan, but Yun Liuâs reputation is extremely important to our family in the future!â
Yun Zhang smiled warmly. âOkay, Mom! Iâll accompany them.â
âThereâs no need for that, Mom, Yun Zhang. I justâIâ Gu Wei had already stepped into the living room before Yun Liu could finish speaking. Yun Liu stared at Gu Weiâs back, stunned.
âGu Weiâs a little different from usual,â Yun Liu thought, but she couldnât tell what was different. After all, she hadnât returned to the Yun family for too long a time. She hadnât returned since the Yun family transferred Yun
Entertainment to her and she took complete control of the company. Since her goal was achieved, sheâd lost the patience to pretend and play house with them.
Therefore, she felt a little guilty and panicked when she saw Gu Wei and Yun Zhang just then. However, Yun Zhang was as gentle as ever to her, and Gu Wei didnât say anything. If they were unhappy with her, with Gu Weiâs personality, she would probably slap her to vent her anger.
Even so, Yun Liu felt an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart. She looked at Yun Zhang and asked, âYun Zhang, what are you and Mom here at the Shi familyâs house for?â
Yun Zhang smiled and put his arm around her shoulders as he answered, âMom came to ask Auntie Shi for help; I just happened to be free today, so I came with her. I didnât expect you to be here, too.â
He turned his head to ask Shi Nian, âHow are your injuries?â
Shi Nian looked at Yun Zhang judgingly but still nodded. He touched his legs and said, âTheyâre alright. Itâs nothing serious. Iâm slowly recovering.â
Yun Liu pressed her lips together and smiled as she watched Yun Zhang and Shi Nian. She knew Shi Nian wasnât injured at all; it was a secret that belonged to her and Shi Nian. âEven if Yun Nan also knows, Iâve already successfully torn a hole between her and Shi Nian, allowing me to step in,â Yun Liu thought.
Lan Long was her backer, but she still chose to keep a few cards hidden from him and didnât tell him the Shi brothersâ secret. This was the secret between her and the Shi familyâthe ladder that could allow her to enter the family.
Shi Nian and Yun Zhang chatted a little about business matters. Yun Zhang spoke confidently, a distinct change from his previous humble and shrinking attitude before Shi Nian, and Yun Liu couldnât help but feel surprised. She turned to look at Yun Zhangâs side profile, slightly lost in thought.
Not long after, Shi Xiu ran out excitedly and stated, âYun Liu, come with me to the company quickly. Yun Nan says she wants us to figure out the early drafts first. We have to speed up and get the filming going!â
Yun Liu couldnât help but secretly feel smug. âI finally got Yun Nan under my thumb! she inwardly crowed. âNo matter what, to protect herposition in the Shi family, Yun Nan couldnât stubbornly defy the Shi family straight on, right? And I helped out both Shi Nian and Shi Xiu. Even if those two siblings didnât help me, with Auntie Xu Yun there, Yun Nan had no choice but to give in!â
Yun Liu hid her victorious glee and replied calmly, âThereâs no rush. Our elders are all here today, so why donât we do it some other time?â
Shi Xiu hurriedly said, âOh, come on! Why wait for some other time? Our time is most precious, you know! Hurry up and go! Shi Nian, Yun Nan is busy entertaining the guests with Mom. Do you want to come with me to the company to relax?â As she asked that question, Shi Xiu placed her hand on Shi Nianâs shoulder and inconspicuously gave it a light squeeze..
