Chapter 68 The Yun Family is Targeted
The memory abruptly ended there. Su Yuchen snapped back to reality, unaware that tears were already streaming down his face.
His mother, Xiao Yun, passed away when he was five years old.
He died not only from discrimination based on his family background, but also from his cowardice.
He asked himself countless times if things would have turned out differently if he had been able to protect her back then.
He hated the feeling of being controlled and loathed his own powerlessness. If it were him now, he would definitely protect his mother well and prevent her from being bullied by anyone.
But it was all too late.
Su Yuchen raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, his whole body shrouded in loneliness and pain.
Thinking back on everything that had just happened, he felt only irony.
The old woman used to force Su Weiwen to obey her by severing ties; now, his father is using the same tactic against him.
Sever ties? Ha, laughable.
Su Yuchen stood up, the pain in his eyes disappearing, replaced by a fierce expression.
More than going back to see that old witch, he was concerned about how to get rid of Yun Yao, that crazy woman.
Her presence constantly reminded him that he was being held back again, and that familiar sense of powerlessness returned to his heart, just like... his past self.
……
"Dad, something terrible has happened!" Yun Jianghai rushed into the door in a flurry of activity.
Yun Zhengfeng paused in his tea drinking, glanced at Yun Yao's expression, and seeing that she seemed unharmed, beckoned Yun Jianghai in.
"You're forty years old, what's the rush?" Yun Zhengfeng shouted sternly.
Yun Jianghai no longer cared about manners and etiquette; he barged in and knelt directly in front of Yun Zhengfeng.
"Dad, the company is going to go bankrupt!" Yun Jianghai said, tears streaming down his face.
"Nonsense! What nonsense are you spouting! How could the Yunyun family possibly go bankrupt!" Despite Yun Zhengfeng's calm demeanor, he was actually in a panic.
Although Yun Jianghai is usually a bit unreliable, he wouldn't spread rumors about something so important. If he dares to say something like that, the company must really be in dire straits!
Before Yun Jianghai could speak, Qiao Lan and her daughter came in, sobbing.
Yun Jianghai was also startled when he saw the two people at the door.
Why are they here, mother and daughter?
Qiao Lan and Yun Xinru plopped down on either side of Yun Zhengfeng, took his arm, and began to cry.
"Dad, the beauty salon you gave me has been shut down too! What happened? This beauty salon is my life! Dad, you have to think of something!"
Before Qiao Lan could finish speaking, Yun Xinru started crying.
"Grandpa, I was clearly qualified to participate in the violin competition, but today my teacher told me I didn't need to go. When I asked, I found out that someone else took my place! Grandpa, the violin competition took up most of my effort!" Yun Xinru shook Yun Zhengfeng's arm, her face full of worry.
Yun Zhengfeng was so annoyed by their noise that he impatiently shook off the arms of the mother and daughter.
Looking at Yun Jianghai kneeling on the ground, she was furious.
"Shut up, all of you!" Along with Yun Zhengfeng's anger came his hand landing on the coffee table.
When Yun Zhengfeng gets angry, it's not something an ordinary person can withstand; the living room instantly fell silent.
"Dad..." Yun Jianghai still wanted to struggle a bit.
"Dad what? Shut up!" Yun Zhengfeng glared fiercely at Yun Jianghai.
It was finally the weekend, and he was supposed to have dinner with Miss Yun Yao, but it was ruined by these shameless people!
"Did I kill someone or commit arson in my past life? How could I have given birth to such a useless and troublesome person like you? Look at the eldest son's family, when do they ever come to me for some trivial matter? If any of you were even slightly less troublesome than the eldest son, I could die with a smile on my face!" Yun Zhengfeng was truly furious.
But, in the very next second...
"Dad." Yun Qintian's voice rang out from the doorway.
Yun Zhengfeng: "..." It would be a terrible mistake to pretend I didn't say anything!
After the second son's family caused a ruckus, Yun Zhengfeng's gaze toward Yun Qintian's family became more impatient.
"What brings you all here? Don't tell me you're here to complain and grumble too!" Yun Zhengfeng said angrily, his hands behind his back.
Yun Qintian looked troubled, a bitter smile playing on his lips.
He didn't want to come either, but they really had no other choice.
“Dad, my mother-in-law is still in the hospital. The medical expenses are all covered, but the hospital won’t give her any medication. And Lixuan, his school abroad has already expelled him.” A look of worry flashed across Yun Qintian’s eyes.
Yun Zhengfeng's anger subsided somewhat, indicating that the situation was indeed not optimistic.
Yun Xinru hid to the side and secretly observed everyone on the field. They all looked anxious and helpless, while Yun Yao, who was sitting there eating grapes, was leisurely and carefree!
The moment she saw Yun Yao's face, which was stunningly beautiful even without makeup, she felt a burning hatred.
Suddenly, something occurred to her.
“Grandpa, Uncle, our Yun family has always kept to its proper place and lived peacefully for so many years. Why is the targeting so obvious today? Perhaps someone has offended someone they shouldn’t have!” Yun Xinru said, hinting at something.
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yuchen's face appeared in Yun Zhengfeng's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.
"Xinru, what nonsense are you spouting? Who could we possibly offend!" Yun Zhengfeng shouted.
Yun Xinru's face was full of disbelief. Before she could say anything, her grandfather couldn't wait to protect Yun Yao!
"Grandpa!" Yun Xinru said unwillingly.
"Alright, shut up, all of you! Don't bring up these kinds of things again. When something happens, deal with it. Do you think about shifting the blame to someone only when something goes wrong? Is that how I taught you?" Yun Zhengfeng's tone was clearly angry.
Yun Xinru wanted to say something, but Qiao Lan grabbed her arm and shook her head, signaling her not to cause trouble at this critical moment.
Yun Xinru was indignant, but had no choice but to give up.
His gaze towards Yun Yao was venomous, as if he wanted to pierce through her.
Under Yun Xinru's watchful gaze, Yun Yao slowly wiped her fingers, then gracefully stood up.
As Yun Zhengfeng was discussing countermeasures with them, his brow furrowed in worry, he heard a clear and melodious voice.
"Yun Zhengfeng, I'm hungry."
Yun Zhengfeng, who was facing away from Yun Yao, stiffened. It wasn't that he was angry at Yun Yao for speaking inappropriately; besides, he didn't dare to.
He suddenly realized that it was already past eight o'clock and Yun Yao hadn't eaten dinner yet!
What a terrible mistake! How could I forget something so important!
Even if the company goes bankrupt, it's not as important as our ancestors!
"Alright, all of you shut up. We can talk about it after dinner!" Yun Zhengfeng interrupted everyone.
Yun Qintian didn't say anything, but his gaze towards Yun Yao became more complicated.
The one who couldn't stand it the most was Yun Jianghai, who had been putting up with Yun Yao for a long time!
"You bastard, can't you see we're discussing something here? Are you blind?!" Yun Jianghai roared at Yun Yao.
Enraged, Yun Jianghai wasn't about to give up and rolled up his sleeves, ready to charge at Yun Yao.
"I'll beat you to death today, you jinx! It's all because of you that our Yun family has suffered such a devastating disaster! I'll beat you to death!"
