Chapter 113: Chapter 113: The Groom Ran Away on the Wedding Night (Part 24)

Ah Chen flipped through the photos sent by the Yun Family, a smile in her eyes.

The Yun Family is quite lively.

She knew that placing a few people inside would eventually prove useful.

After looking through all the photos, she packed them back up and locked them in the drawer, waiting for Ah Yin to return so he could have a look at the excitement. This was the Lv Family’s place, no one would pry open her locks here.

The Shen Family was different.

Once, members of the Shen Family rummaged through her stuff, so she placed a mouse trap in every drawer. Once, apart from Shen Xun and the two children, everyone else’s fingers were caught.

They called it an injury, but it didn’t make much difference; they were the ones suffering anyway.

Thinking of this incident made her laugh. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Those who dared to mess with her things deserved some suffering.

She suspected Xiang Yue’s public outburst wasn’t impulsive, but had another purpose. Evidence from those years was hard to find. Even after placing people in the Yun Family, they hadn’t discovered anything, as it had been too long. Yun Wenfeng and his son knew about this and might have helped cover it up, making it harder to find.

Xiang Yue’s antics seemed like an act of a mother blinded by her son’s actions, planning to attack Yun Qing, making people think that’s all she could do. Her occasional drama only distracted the Yun father and son, allowing her to do more behind the scenes. Maybe not just seeking the truth from back then...

Xiang Yue investigating was easier than the people she placed in the Yun Family.

They could only hope she’d uncover something.

As Ah Chen expected, Xiang Yue caused scenes from time to time, making the Yun Family think she was somewhat irrational and didn’t believe she would make a big deal out of things.

That day, Yun Wenfeng suggested that the Yun Family should be inherited by Xie Yan, but Xiang Yue retorted: "Xiao Yan doesn’t care for these things. If you have any conscience, don’t trouble him."

Xiang Yue didn’t want to be polite, but Xiao Yan truly didn’t care, nor did he want to return here. Maybe he even found it dirty, so how could she agree on his behalf?

"His name is Xie Yan. As long as he doesn’t agree, his surname won’t change, and his household registration won’t return. Everyone here is vicious, and you have the nerve to ask him to come back?"

Yun Wenfeng had a headache.

With Xiang Yue causing a scene, he felt a sense of relief, thinking that women indeed lacked reason, yet he was annoyed.

Now Xiang Yue didn’t mention divorce anymore; it seemed like she wanted to stir things up at home, making everyone uncomfortable.

Yun Xiangming also found it difficult, but because he felt guilty and had hopes for that outstanding son, he didn’t dare break ties. After meeting Xie Yan, he realized the two illegitimate children really couldn’t compare.

Yun Qing couldn’t tolerate Xiang Yue anymore. With red eyes, she shouted, "Xiang Yue, don’t act innocent while gaining advantage. Do you want to know why I did this? I’ll tell you. You were able to go out with my brother and father back then because they sent me to be a child bride in exchange for money. The capital you used for your endeavors was obtained by trading me! You enjoyed a good life with them, while I lived with a lonely old woman and her foolish grandson, similar to a servant in ancient times, doing everything. Your son didn’t suffer as much as I did."

Xiang Yue paused, silent for five seconds before asking, "Weren’t you sent back to Grandma’s?"

Yun Qing cried, "If I had been sent to Grandma’s, why would I hold a grudge for so long? It’s them who wronged me."

"And you were so lucky. If they hadn’t sent me as a child bride, I could have ventured out and been better off than you." Yun Qing was angry. "Do you know now why they indulge me? It’s a shameful matter they can’t bear to face, something they owe me. They should treat me well, indulge me. Without my sacrifice, the Yun Family wouldn’t have what it does today."

Xiang Yue felt sympathy for Yun Qing’s experience but still couldn’t understand or forgive her actions: "Then take your revenge on them. What did an innocent newborn do wrong?"

"Why don’t you have the guts to take revenge on them?" Xiang Yue taunted, "Instead of taking it out on them, you target my innocent child, why? Is it because you’re afraid that without them and the Yun Family, you can’t live a pampered life, or are you scared they’ll send you away again? You know perfectly well."

Yun Qing’s face turned pale, her guilty conscience exposed.

"Moreover, your hatred and jealousy of me are unreasonable. I ventured out with them, bringing money with me, not only not spending theirs but working and taking care of them too." Xiang Yue sneered, "Leaving didn’t mean luxury. I endured countless hardships and slept only three hours a night in the first few years. You think my current success came from luck or their gifts? What I’ve earned, I’ve deserved, and I’d say this even in front of the patriarch. If it were you, you might not have achieved what I did."

Xiang Yue said no more and turned to leave.

She found Yun Xiangming. He tried to hide, but she slapped him across the face, leaving it instantly red.

"You two have the nerve."

"Yun Qing is vicious, but you two are even more disgusting."

Xiang Yue’s eyes were red. She truly didn’t understand this family.

After this incident, the Yun Family calmed down, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Xiang Yue didn’t speak much to them, and they didn’t dare to provoke her, maintaining a peaceful coexistence.

"That child is excellent. Can we really just give up?" Yun Xiangming was unwilling.

Yun Wenfeng said, "You’re still young, why rush? Isn’t that kid still in university? Once he goes out and experiences the hardships of the real world, he’ll understand. Once he’s suffered, if you show up again, he’ll compromise. As long as he compromises, Xiao Yue won’t be a problem anymore. Xiao Yue doesn’t seem inclined to stir things up, which is already the best outcome. She has put her heart into the Yun Family, which is reasonable. But Qingqing needs to be watched closely. Don’t let her cause trouble again. This time, Xiao Yue didn’t hold it against us because of old ties and her connection to the Yun Family, but another incident might make it different."

Yun Qing indeed wanted to do something but was tightly monitored.

Yun Wenfeng even considered sending her overseas, but Yun Qing didn’t want to go to an unfamiliar place. Just hearing about it made her reactive, even threatening to expose all their past secrets so no one would have peace.

Yun Wenfeng had no choice but to have more people monitor her.

At the end of the semester, Xie Yan called Ah Chen: "Sister Ah Chen, I want to find a job and come back closer to the end of the holiday."

Was he really lying?

Starting his own business could be considered a job, right?

Ah Chen cautioned, "Be careful not to be deceived. Take good care of yourself."

"Mhm, I’ll bring back a gift for you when I return." Xie Yan was full of energy.

Unlike Xie Yan, Liao Qian came back early. She received a scholarship and was said to work part-time on weekends. Upon returning, she brought gifts for Ah Chen and the Lv Family.

"They wanted to stop me, playing the emotional card, what nerve."

"Ha, now that I’m in college, doing well, with the potential to earn lots of money, they swarm over, saying it’s not easy and sending relatives to persuade me. When it doesn’t happen to them, of course, they don’t feel the pain. The Liao Family relatives aren’t any good." Liao Qian was resentful. "Didn’t they tell me to scram? I really look down on them. Just a few years, and they’ll regret it for a lifetime."

"Sister Xiao Chen, hasn’t the class president returned?" Liao Qian nudged next to Ah Chen. The class president, that ambitious guy, finally had a vacation, yet didn’t come back? It was strange.

"He’s working during vacation."

Liao Qian grinned, "He must be wanting to earn money to buy you a gift."

"Sister Xiao Chen, are you really planning to stay at the Shen Family forever? Haven’t thought about finding someone else? That Shen Chi isn’t worth the wait." She hesitated then added, "Even if you don’t want to find someone else, there’s no need to stay over there."

Ah Chen blinked: "Do you think I’m being mistreated over there?"

Liao Qian was silent. Was she?

"Can they bully me?"

Liao Qian stayed silent. If Sister Xiao Chen came back with red eyes, she’d bet the Lv Family, along with those indebted to her, would schedule a time to bury the Shen Family.

"They owe me." Ah Chen laughed, "I’m very comfortable staying there. It’s them who are uncomfortable."

Liao Qian suddenly understood. Sister Xiao Chen might not be waiting for Shen Chi, just making them uneasy.

Sister Xiao Chen seemed a bit naughty, she thought.

As the vacation neared its end, Xie Yan finally returned with gifts, telling her he’d started a business and would be busy during breaks. Ah Chen shared those photos with him.

Xie Yan came and went in a hurry.

Ah Chen had a new wrist cord, adorned with small, golden lotus seeds, exquisite and beautiful.

As time went on, her bracelets grew more numerous and valuable.

In the blink of an eye, Xie Yan graduated. During his visit, he gifted her a diamond, a large one, saying his business had been successful over the years.

Then he hurriedly returned to North City, seemingly very busy.

Another two years passed, and one day, a disoriented person in dusty clothes stood at the entrance of Shuifeng Village.
