章 29: Chapter Twenty-Nine: Background

編集者: Dragon Boat Translation

"This is Miss Fang Xi. To the fashionable gentlemen and ladies out there, I'm telling you, it's a great loss if you don't know her! You'll have to find out what her profession is yourselves; I don't have the guts to reveal it. This young lady is quite difficult to deal with! I'm afraid she'll turn around and settle the score with me!"

"But I can tell you one thing. The designer of Moun had asked Fang Xi—through me—to help them find the most suitable model for the Moun collection's first-release design that Yun Nan is wearing. They emphasized that the model must wear it to the best effect! And, in my opinion, she'd done a great job at that!"

Mr. Mo's evaluation of Fang Xi was filled with the love of an elder to a junior as he continued, "Fang Xi only handles limited edition and first-release items. Hehe, she has an eye and talent for beauty and fashion that others can't compare to! However, she does have a temper, so it's best not to provoke her!"

Fang Xi went up to Mr. Mo and locked arms with him, "Are you complimenting or insulting me? I'm a little offended. If I can't get a boyfriend because of this, I'll come to you directly and ask for compensation!"

"Are you truly willing to find a boyfriend?" Mr. Mo deliberately put on a stern expression. "If you're willing to let go of your obsession and put yourself out there, I'm afraid you'll have men queuing from here to your parents' door!"

Fang Xi covered his lips with her index finger. "Stop! Enough of that! Let's talk about something else!"

Mr. Mo laughed merrily; it seemed he was happy that he had gotten one over on Fang Xi. He warmly invited everyone to have a good time, but he left Yun Nan, Fang Xi, Shi Nian, and a few other youngsters beside him, and they laughed and chatted.

Yun Liu and Yun Zhang were left on the sidelines just like that. Everyone immediately retreated from them.

Mr. Mo had left the siblings their dignity, but no one present was a fool. How could they not see what was going on? Yun Liu was treating them like fools and was even prepared to use them as weapons. Her intentions were too sinister!

"I heard Yun Liu was adopted into the Yun family, and Yun Nan is the Yun family's real daughter. I didn't expect the one raised in the countryside would be more promising than the one who took her place!"

"Yun Liu always said that she and Shi Nian were engaged. I didn't expect Shi Nian to get married without a word, and it had nothing to do with Yun Liu at all! It was such an embarrassment!"

"Hey, who did Shi Nian marry? Why didn't we hear anything about it at all?"

"Aren't you on good terms with Shi Xiu? Why don't you ask her?"

"Shi Xiu went on a trip with her grandfather. I don't know which country she's in now, nor do I know the time zone she's in. I'll ask her when she comes back."

"Jeez, why would you need to ask that? I'm happy as long as he doesn't marry Yun Liu. She has been p*ssing me off all these years by flaunting her engagement with Shi Nian!"

Yun Liu's posse looked at her worriedly. Since Yun Zhang hadn't left, they couldn't go up and talk to her.

Yun Zhang's expression was pale and drawn as he asked seriously, "Was it really Mom?"

"Is this the time to care about that?" Yun Liu stomped her feet and complained. "Look at Yun Nan. She clearly has such a close relationship with Mr. Mo, but she never revealed anything to us. She plainly doesn't treat us as family. She's such a bully!" Yun Liu choked out.

Yun Zhang was also very unhappy. He turned around and saw Yun Nan chatting happily with Mr. Mo and the others. His gaze shifted back to Yun Liu, and he didn't ask her any further questions.

"Let's go home. If we stay here any longer, we'll only be laughed at by more people!" Yun Zhang said stiffly.

Seeing that he was really angry, Yun Liu didn't dare to say anything else. She glanced over at Mr. Mo's group and knew she couldn't insert herself into their circle this time. This was completely different from what she had planned.

She'd hoped to make Yun Nan embarrass herself at the garden party and strangle her studio in the cradle so she would never be able to make a comeback. She didn't expect to make a clown of herself.

What was even more terrifying was that Shi Nian had actually put on a wedding ring and publicly admitted that he was married. Moreover, he didn't consider her feelings at all and directly tore her down. What was she going to do with herself in the future?

Yun Liu's tears welled up in her eyes, but she forcefully held them back. Gritting her teeth, she chased after Yun Zhang and walked out. In any case, she couldn't let anything happen on Yun Zhang's end. The Yun family was her foundation and her last retreat.

She could only think of another way to deal with Yun Nan and Shi Nian.

Shi Nian's eyes strayed to Yun Nan from time to time. He had never seen Yun Nan in front of others. She was so graceful, refined, and had a demure beauty—quite unlike the transparent and free little girl who didn't put on any disguise before him.

Suddenly, a servant from the Mo family came over and said to him, "Mr. Shi, someone is looking for you outside. They say it's urgent."

Shi Nian frowned and looked at his phone. 'Why didn't they call me if it's an emergency?'

The servant left in a flash. Shi Nian thought about it and felt it was about time he went home. Hence, he said his goodbyes to Mr. Mo and glanced at Yun Nan—who was communicating with a veteran director—before walking out.
