Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Someone who seemed like a secretary hurried over and whispered a few words into Bai Jie’s ear. Bai Jie immediately sat up straight and uttered, “What? Uncle Gu Bei is being hospitalized here?!”

Chang Hui and Zheng Xiu were also shocked. “Is he only accompanied by Auntie Chen Yao?” Bai Jie asked the secretary.

The secretary nodded and replied, “Yes.”

Straight away, Bai Jie told Chang Hui and Zheng Xiu, “Dear sisters-in-law, we should go visit him at the hospital. Why don’t you two go home with me and make preparations?”

She sighed again. “Speaking of which, it’s really miserable to be childless at such an old age. He wouldn’t be in this lonely state if he’d at least adopted a child.”

And with that remark, Bai Jie left. Ignoring Gu Wei and Yun Liu—who were standing beside them, confused—Chang Hui pulled Zheng Xiu close and asked anxiously, “What does she mean?”

Zheng Xiu gently broke free from Chang Hui’s grasp and only said, “We should hurry up and go with her. Let’s talk about it when we get home.”

Yun Nan and Xiang Yang sighed in relief after the group of women all left. “I also have the same question. What do you think Mrs. Gu meant?” Xiang Yang inquired curiously.

Yun Nan turned to look at the women’s disappearing figures and shook her head, saying, “I don’t know. I can’t figure out what they mean; each and every one of those women seems like they have too many tricks up their sleeves.”

Xiang Yang nodded. “That’s true. I myself can’t tell who Madam Gu is siding with. Which sister-in-law do you think she supports? It must be really hard on her with all the criticism and instigation she has to deal with and deliver. She still tries to be adroit and please both sides when she’s not all that bright in the first place. ”

“Yun Nan,” someone called out softly, stunning Yun Nan.

It was Yun Zhang, standing before them with a haggard expression. Yun Nan stood up and didn’t say anything. Yun Zhang looked at her and smiled wryly.

It was obvious that Yun Zhang had something to say to her, so Yun Nan sat down and said, “Have a seat. What would you like to drink?”

Yun Nan briefly introduced Yun Zhang and Xiang Yang to each other: “This is my brother, Yun Zhang, and this is Big Brother Shi Ke’s wife, my sister-in-law, Xiang Yang.”

Xiang Yang got up and stated, “You guys chat. I’ll go check out the desserts.” Yun Zhang stood up apologetically and thanked Xiang Yang for giving them space.

After Xiang Yang left, there was a momentary silence before Yun Zhang began the conversation: “Yun Liu found her biological parents.”

Yun Nan nodded. “I know. The Gu family of White City.”

Yun Zhang didn’t speak further. Yun Nan looked at him and asked, “What’s wrong?” He didn’t seem to be happy for his beloved sister.

‘Is he disappointed? she thought. Yun Nan felt slightly bemused. ‘My relatives weren’t happy when their biological child had been found, and now they aren’t pleased that their adopted child had found her biological family. What do they want from us?

Yun Zhang rubbed his face with his hands and told her, “In the beginning, not only did the Gu family not thank us for raising Yun Liu, they even accused us of kidnapping her. ”

Yun Nan’s eyes widened when she heard that, but then she gave it some thought. ‘ That does fit the style of those Gu family’s madams.’

“What about Yun Liu? What’s her stance on this?” This matter mainly depended on Yun Liu’s approach to it. Of course, the Yun family should also straighten things out with the Gu family themselves.

“Yun Liu moved to the Gu family without saying a word, but then she suddenly came back with her biological mother and a bunch of gifts, saying that she wanted to thank our family for raising her,” Yun Zhang answered, subconsciously using the words “our family.”

Yun Nan frowned. “So Yun Liu convinced the Gu family?” Instinctively, she didn’t believe Yun Liu would do that, but she thought the Yun family would believe she did. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Yun Liu came to me yesterday and said that the Gu family wants to invest in Yun Entertainment. She asked me to hand over Yun Entertainment to her. She said, I’m a man with great talents and should choose a field more suitable for myself rather than waste my potential in such a useless industry.”

Yun Nan was both amused and angered by that. “A useless industry?” she chuckled. Yun Zhang, however, didn’t find anything funny about it. He didn’t know how to describe his feelings and could only sigh.

Yun Nan calmed down and questioned, “So what do you plan to do? Are you going to give her Yun Entertainment?” In the end, this was the Yun family’s private matter, and that family had long severed ties with her. It had nothing to do with her.

“Yun Nan, I’ve been to the small town where you lived when you were young,” Yun Zhang suddenly uttered.

Yun Nan froze. “I’m sorry,” Yun Zhang said softly. Yun Nan stared at the

dejected Yun Zhang. She didn’t know what his apology was for, nor did she understand why he went to Lu Town.

Yun Zhang smiled bitterly. “My parents and I have done many things wrong, but they still don’t believe that they were at fault. Yun Liu, she… she—” Yun Zhang couldn’t continue speaking.

Yun Nan inwardly sighed. Actually, Yun Zhang didn’t believe he was at fault either. However, because he had seen some facts, he had no choice but to face them. Yun Nan feared that their parents wouldn’t want to face the facts, even if those facts were an elephant that was dressed in a pink tutu..
