She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!-Chapter 120: The Groom Ran Away on His Wedding Night 31

Chapter 120: Chapter 120: The Groom Ran Away on His Wedding Night 31

On the day of Yun Wenfeng’s 70th birthday, he was very happy. His extremely outstanding grandson was actually coming to attend his birthday banquet, brought over personally by Xiang Yue. Even though neither the mother nor the son mentioned acknowledging the family and changing the surname, he felt this was a good sign.

If Xiang Yue and her son had no such intention, would they appear together at his birthday banquet?

Calculating the time, this child had already graduated more than two years ago, finally understanding the complexities of the outside world.

The other party was indeed a high achiever, not lacking in job opportunities, able to make a living anywhere.

But still, he was just an employee, no matter how excellent he was, he’d only earn so much annually, and it would take several years of saving to buy a somewhat decent house in North City, possibly not even being able to pay in full.

As for entrepreneurship? If it were that easy, there wouldn’t be many poor people in the world. Back in the day, when he ventured out, he had no idea how much suffering he endured.

Yun Wenfeng planned to introduce his grandson to everyone after delivering his speech to the guests, allowing the young man to make a debut.

Yun Xiangming was also excited; his two children outside were average in appearance, neither good nor bad. But compared to Xie Yan, he wasn’t quite satisfied.

Xiang Yue remained composed throughout, unusually absent from greeting familiar faces, staying by Xie Yan’s side the entire time.

Many were curious about who this young man was, but seeing the aloof demeanor of the two, it was difficult to approach and ask, so they had to hold back temporarily. If this young man was really important, perhaps soon they would find out. In fact, some well-informed guests already had theories about the young man’s identity.

The most displeased person today was likely Yun Qing.

Not long ago, she learned that the child who should have suffered long ago had grown exceptionally well and was a student of the top university, initially admitted as the provincial champion scholar.

She had been deceived!

She had no way of finding more details, as this information had been disclosed to her by Xiang Yue.

Xiang Yue had also said that soon Xie Yan would come back to rightfully become the Yun Family’s heir.

Yun Qing was on the verge of madness, unable to hold back, wanting to do something, but at the crucial moment, she was stopped by the old man. Under his analysis of various pros and cons, she had to give up.

Actually, she didn’t really want to go all out now.

She just longed to live a good life, never wanting to return to those days of serving a senile and a fool, always at the risk of being beaten and scolded by the old man.

She didn’t have the courage to flip the table; if the Yun Family fell, the old man and brother no longer cared for her, she wouldn’t have the ability to live well outside.

She sat in a corner, her gaze darkly resting on Xiang Yue and the young man, almost tearing off her fingernails.

Yun Wenfeng finally stepped onto the stage and began tonight’s speech.

After the speech was completed, his gaze swept to Xie Yan’s position.

The lighting technician followed, focusing the lights there, drawing all the guests’ attention to the exceptionally handsome young man.

Countless people were eagerly anticipating Yun Wenfeng’s next words.

Yun Wenfeng wore a smile, about to continue, when the main door was suddenly pushed open, and a group of uniformed men burst in. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Amid the guests’ startled expressions, they indicated for Yun Wenfeng, Yun Xiangming, and Yun Qing to accompany them.

"What are you doing?" Yun Qing shouted, attempting to leave, but was quickly restrained.

Yun Wenfeng remained somewhat calm: "Officers, is there some kind of misunderstanding?"

The police naturally gave a brief explanation, and upon hearing that these three from the Yun Family were suspected of trafficking, injury, and malicious competition threatening personal safety, the guests paused in shock. In this circle, there were both clean and unclean people; incidents of harming others and threatening safety for malicious competition were not uncommon.

But for them to be suspected of trafficking was beyond many people’s comprehension.

"It’s them who wronged me!"

"I just wanted to teach them a lesson."

"Why should they be able to live gloriously and happily? Why should that child be born into wealth?"

"All their riches and glory were at the expense of me."

"You’ve never experienced being sold at fourteen to marry the stupid grandson of a wicked woman, have you? You will never understand!"

"I didn’t cause him much harm, just made his days a little harder."

"Yet he hasn’t suffered the same hardships as I did, he still turned out so well," Yun Qing said, her eyes bloodshot as she stared at Xie Yan, "Had I known, I’d have had him thrown into a stinking ditch back then. Dead would’ve been better than now; I wasn’t ruthless enough."

Xiang Yue scolded: "Then why didn’t you try to kill Yun Wenfeng who sold you? He is the chief culprit. And Yun Xiangming, who didn’t stop anything, he’s one of the main culprits too."

"Bullying a newborn baby, what kind of skill is that?"

"You didn’t dare; you craved riches, so you vented your anger on an innocent infant."

Yun Xiangming’s gaze fell on Xiang Yue, disbelief written on his face: "Was it you?"

Xiang Yue sneered: "Yes, it was me."

"Never thought you father and son did quite a few things behind my back."

The Yun Family is huge, involved in numerous industries. Naturally, I wasn’t involved in everything over the years, just focused on the parts that interested me and made them bigger."

These father and son probably knew her character, which is why they concealed so many things.

Don’t be fooled by that Old Sir Yun; though seventy, he is still vigorous. In recent years, through my clandestine investigations, I discovered that the old man maintained relationships with over thirty mistresses. Humans indeed have weaknesses.

If it weren’t for these mistresses, my investigations might have been much harder.

While Xiao Yan had graduated two years ago, it wasn’t too long; I eventually personally delivered this belated graduation gift into his hands.

Yun Wenfeng’s expression was complicated, he didn’t say much.

Ever since those police officers came in, he’d had a suspicion.

He had been deceived by Xiang Yue, and it was his own underestimation of a mother.

The Yun Family members were taken away, guests dispersed.

Finally, Xiang Yue and Xie Yan walked out from inside, and Xiang Yue said: "I know even doing these things can’t compensate for the past trauma you endured."

"But at least it vented your frustration."

Xie Yan paused his steps: "Thank you."

Long having no expectations from his parents, his biological mother’s persistence still moved him internally.

"You haven’t eaten yet, have you? Let’s have a meal first."

Sister Chen advised to eat on time, or it would adversely affect the body. We need good health to accomplish more.

Xiang Yue’s eyes reddened slightly, quickly agreeing.

Expecting to head to a restaurant, yet unexpectedly Xie Yan took her to his place where the food was already prepared, seemingly by someone named Yuan Zhicheng.

Yuan Zhicheng greeted with a smile, removed his apron, and then left.

Xie Yan lingered in Jiang City for a year, satisfied only after taking over the former Yun Family’s business. Of course, the branch company previously managed by Xiang Yue was left untouched, having long separated from the Yun Family.

"I’m heading back to North City first."

"I’ll be based around Dengtong Town in the future."

"I’ll inform you in advance when I get married."

"If you’re free, feel free to visit there, Mom."

Xiang Yue’s tears flowed instantly, Xiao Yan finally accepted her, and she said: "Okay."

She definitely planned to go, to thank the girl who protected Xiao Yan.
