Shi Yun watched the TV for a while and asked Yun Nan with slight worry, “Then, will this girl still affect you? She probably wouldn’t be able to stay in the entertainment industry anymore after having caused such a commotion.”

Yun Nan nodded and solemnly said, “I heard from Fang Xi that her manager, Xiao Ya, told Gao Bei she wouldn’t hold her accountable anymore if she made the whole thing public. Gao Bei is facing huge compensation payouts, but she doesn’t have the money to pay those penalties, so Xiao Ya had to shoulder them. Gao Bei was foolish; she sacrificed the rest of her life for a momentary lapse in judgment.”

Shi Nian stood at the side and looked at Yun Nan. She’d experienced many of the world’s evils but was still unwilling to think the worst of others. She was still filled with compassion.

That woman, Gao Bei, wasn’t as pitiful as she appeared to be. She knew from the beginning that suddenly abandoning the movie as she did would bring trouble to her manager and Yun Nan’s production team. However, in the face of such a huge temptation, she unhesitatingly chose to do it anyway.

She didn’t feel much gratitude toward the people who took a great risk to save and bring her home. She wouldn’t have stood out and told the truth if it wasn’t for the sum of money he promised her to let her start over. As for how difficult the situation was for her manager, that wasn’t within her consideration at all. It was best for such a person to never appear around Yun Nan in the future. To Shi Nian, any problem that could be solved with money wasn’t a real problem.

“Ding Pei admitted to everything and said she did it because she couldn’t stand Gao Bei. Can you believe it, Yun Nan?” Shi Xiu groused indignantly.

Of course, Yun Nan didn’t believe it. She arranged the dumplings neatly as she coolly replied, “Ding Pei is a veteran of the Yun Corporation and has shared interests with the Yuns, so she has no choice but to shoulder everything.”

“The shared interest between Ding Pei and the Yuns, huh… Isn’t that Yun Liu?” Shi Xiu’s words hit the mark. She hadn’t forgotten the rumor-mongering incident during the movie premiere. “I heard her movie ‘Cozy in Love’ bombed. Yun Nan, they say you wrote that movie’s script. Is that true?” Shi Xiu asked.

Yun Nan was stunned and stated, “No, I didn’t write the script! Where did you hear that from? The onlv movie I wrote that was vet to be filmed when I left the Yun Corporation was our movie ‘4:30 P.M.’ I didn’t participate in any of the company’s subsequent script production because of our differing cooperative philosophies.”

Shi Xiu then understood. “Oh,” she dragged the word out, “They wanted to use your name to boost their lousy film. How despicable! Yun Nan, you have to stay away from them in the future. That Yun Liu is better at creating gossip than those screenwriters!”

She continued, “On one hand, she wants to suppress you, but on the other hand, she wants to use your name to hype her own fame. Her methods are deplorable! Hmph! That Yun Liu better pray she doesn’t run into me! If she falls into my hands, I’ll kick her ass!”

Shi Xiu’s fierce words attracted her family’s attention, and Shi Kong immediately questioned, “Honey, did someone bully you? Whoever it is, you can tell your brother and let him deal with them!”

Shi Xiu gave him a bright smile and commented, “Grandpa, who would have the guts to bully me, your precious granddaughter?! I’m usually the one doing the bullying instead!”

“Then who do you want to deal with?” Shi Kong inquired, doubtful of her words.

Shi Xiu pouted. “I want to deal with the people who bullied Yun Nan! Grandpa! Yun Nan is too nice! I have to protect her in the future!”

Shi Xiu’s parents and Shi Kong nodded and looked at Yun Nan affectionately as they said, “Yun Nan! You must come home and tell us if you’ve been wronged! We won’t allow anyone to bully our family members! Shi Nian, don’t come home if you let Yun Nan get bullied! How could you show your face when you couldn’t even take care of your own wife?”

Yun Nan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at that, and Shi Xiu winked at her mischievously. The Shi family had given Yun Nan the warmth of a family she hadn’t experienced since her adoptive parents passed away, making her heart overflow with gratitude.

After receiving his elders’ decree, Shi Nian took even more care of Yun Nan and decided to send her to work every morning. Yun Nan was a little overwhelmed and had no choice but to have a serious talk with Shi Nian.

“You don’t have to treat me like this. Have you ever thought about how you’re going to explain things to your relatives when we break up five years later?” Yun Nan tried to reason with him and appeal to his better nature.

Shi Nian shrugged. “Isn’t that five years away? Right now, we’re newlyweds, so we have to act like we’re in our honeymoon phase. I don’t see what’s wrong with my actions,” he remarked.

Yun Nan resisted the urge to roll her eyes and stated, “Shi Nian, we just need to maintain a friendly distance between us. You don’t have to put in so much effort. It’s not worth it! I appreciate your kindness, but it’s really not necessary.. Okay?”
