Tears loomed in Yun Nan’s eyes, and she turned her head away. Yun Zhang looked at her, and his heart ached for her. Just as he was about to speak, someone pushed him aside.

Yun Zhang stumbled. When he managed to steady himself, he saw that Shi Nian already had Yun Nan in his arms.

“Mr. and Madam Yun, have you come here to bully my wife? Don’t you remember what you said back then when Yun Nan left home? Didnt you disown her? What? Do you want to go back on your word now? Even if that’s the case, you need my permission first! Do you think you can simply bully my loved ones and get away with it?” Shi Nian coolly reproached them.

Gu Wei didn’t expect Shi Nian to be here. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

“Why are you here?” Yun Nan asked softly.

“It’s a good thing I came,” Shi Nian remarked. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to hear such a wonderful statement from Madam Yun!”

He looked at the woman who was filming on her phone and told her, “Did you get everything? You’d better not edit this and show things out of context. I don’t mind taking you to court.’

The woman’s hand trembled, and she almost dropped her phone.

Shi Nian didn’t release Yun Nan from his embrace as he walked out, saying, “Apologies, but we’ll be heading out to eat. Take care and see yourself to the door! Yun Zhang, I thought since you specifically went to the area where Yun Nan grew up to take a look, your opinion of Yun Nan would’ve changed when you came back. I didn’t expect… Ah, I thought too highly of you.”

Gu Wei wanted to chase after them, but Yun Zhang stopped her. He looked frustrated as he berated her, “Mom! What’s wrong with you?! I thought you came here to sincerelv reconcile with Yun Nan but look at what vou’re saving!” also quite angry and replied, “I am here to reconcile with her, but look at the attitude she’s giving me! Tan Ning said, right now, I have to be tough when I’m dealing with Yun Nan. She’s famous now, so surely she’s afraid of disgracing herself. Tan Ning said that if she’s stubborn, we should let her have a taste of what it means to be utterly discredited.”

Gu Wei continued, “Tan Ning said that if Yun Nan was obedient, we’ll treat her nicely, but if she wasn’t, there are a hundred ways to make her obedient. She is a member of our family so she should listen to us! We have to make her return to our family, even if that means ruining her reputation! The longer she’s out there, the more our family is embarrassed. Tan Ning—”

Yun Zhang cut her off. “Tan Ning this, and Tan Ning that. Do you believe everything that woman says?” Yun Zhang didn’t expect Tan Ning would actually dare to brainwash his mother. ‘D*mn it,’ he mentally cursed.

Gu Wei was also unhappy when she saw that her son was displeased with her. “Everything Tan Ning said sounds reasonable,” she retorted. “Why can’t I go see Yun Nan? I’m her mother! I was too indulgent towards her before because I always felt I should make it up to her for having lost us all these years. Tan

Ning made sense; the one I should feel guilty about isn’t Yun Nan, but Yun Liu!”

“She healed the grief I felt from losing my daughter. She brought me joy and took care of me for so many years. I can’t just watch her career suffer! Yun Nan has to help Yun Liu, and she must also be grateful to Yun Liu for accompanying and caring for us for so many years!” Gu Wei stated with righteous eloquence.

Yun Zhang was so angry he did a 360-degree turn and rebuked plaintively, “Mom! Don’t forget that Yun Nan is married to Shi Nian! Now that Shi Nian knows about this entire incident, do you think he’ll persuade Yun Nan to return home or help Yun Nan stay away from us?”

“Of course, he’ll—” Gu Wei’s self-righteous words suddenly faltered and stopped.

Yun Zhang sighed deeply. “Mom, let’s just—let’s just go home! Instead of thinking up ways to harass Yun Nan, why don’t you think about how we should go to the Shi family and apologize to Grandpa, Uncle, and Auntie Shi? We have to tell them not to let Shi Nian make things difficult for us!”

Gu Wei panicked, having finally realized the consequences of her actions. “Shi Nian can’t do that! He’s a sensible child; he definitely won’t do things that’ll add insult to injury!” she muttered, trying to convince herself.

Yun Zhang didn’t say anything. Even a blind person could see Shi Nian’s attitude towards Yun Nan! Only his mother—exploited by scoundrels—had unexpectedly come to do such a thing. Moreover, she had been caught red-handed by Shi Nian.

And he, Yun Zhang, had inexplicably become the elder brother who brought his mother to pick on his biological sister. He wouldn’t be able to explain himself out of this situation.

“Did you know? Tan Ning told me Yun Liu and Shi Xiu are on the same variety show. Shi Xiu is always bullying Yun Liu, implicitly and explicitly. Isn’t Yun Nan the one who made Shi Xiu famous?” Gu Wei kept ranting about Yun Nan’s faults.

“If she can nurture Shi Xiu—who has never acted before—into a sought-after new star, why didn’t she spend that energy nurturing Yun Liu instead? We’re her family! How could she treat her in-laws better than her own family? That girl grew up in a little hole somewhere and was raised to be stupid!”

“Mom, please, stop! Just cut it out, will you? I’ll get Tan Ning to pack up and leave tomorrow!” Yun Zhang shouted, furious..
