â Things wouldnât have ended up like this if they were truly such clear-headed and sensible people,â Yun Nan thought sadly.
âIâll settle Yun Entertainmentâs copyright cases as soon as possible. Iâll pay the compensation we owe you without delay. I wonât hand Yun Entertainment over to Yun Liu. No matter what, the company is my lifeâs work. Yun Liu is now a member of the Gu family. With her family backing her up, she doesnât need our small company,â Yun Zhang growled.
Yun Nan couldnât bear to watch him continue to be so foolish and said, âHer parents are from a branch of the Gu family; her father is the second son, and only the eldest has the final say in that branch. The entire Gu family wonât value her, so to her, the only thing she can use is the Yun family. In the past, she wanted to use Yun Entertainment to make herself famous. Now, she probably wants to own the Yun Corporation so that sheâll have some status in the Gu family. Otherwise, sheâll only be a puppet when she returns to the Gu family, and itâll be impossible for her to be pampered like she was in the Yun family.â
Yun Zhang was shocked at that statement and frowned, saying, âYun Liu, she⦠She wonât⦠It canât be. Our family raised herââ
âThen, just do as you planned,â Yun Nan didnât want to argue about that and interrupted him. â Why try to wake a person who was pretending to be asleep? she thought. âIt would only be futile.â
âIâm busy with some things today, so I gotta go,â Yun Nan said as she stood up.
She was about to leave when Yun Zhang uttered, âYun Nan, I will convince Mom and Dad and have them acknowledge you. You are a member of the Yun family. We are your family.â
Yun Nan turned around and smiled gently at her biological brother. âItâs fine; I donât need their acknowledgement. Youâve been to Lu Town, so you should know that there are many kinds of families. Family isnât limited to blood relations. â
Yun Nan patted Xiang Yang, who had already inspected and admired the cakes and desserts for a few rounds, and said, âLetâs go. Letâs continue shopping.â
Xiang Yang felt the change in Yun Nanâs mood. After theyâd bought some more stuff, she spoke up, âDid your brother upset you? You donât seem any happier even after buying several expensive pieces of jewelry.â
Yun Nan chuckled when she heard this. âWhy would I be happy about spending so much money? My wallet is taking a big hit here.â
Xiang Yang rolled her eyes. Yun Nan smiled and sighed softly. âPerhaps itâs because finding our biological family was my motherâs obsession back then, so itâs always a pity for me that my biological family doesnât accept me. I donât know whatâs wrong with that brother of mine. He seems to want to acknowledge me but doesnât completely want to at the same time. I donât know. â
She continued, âWhen Grandpa and Grandma Gu saw my motherâs portrait, it was an extremely bittersweet moment for them. I can only imagine how happy they wouldâve been if my mother were alive. So why werenât my biological parents happy when I returned to them? They didnât want me; my arrival made them feel at a loss. They completely denied me after Yun Liu âcommitted suicideâ several times, but Iâm their biological child!â
Xiang Yang patted Yun Nan on the shoulder and remarked, âForget about them. With or without them, youâre all grown up anyway, so it doesnât matter. Itâs not like you renounced themâtheyâre the ones who disowned you, so why worry yourself sick about it? They arenât concerned about such things at all.â
She then pointed at herself. âFeelings can fade. Take my parents, for example; they used to love each other to death. But now, I donât think my mother has a place in his heart anymore, you know?â
âIt would be unreasonable for me to insist on asking him to keep my mother in his heart, but I couldnât accept him forgetting about my mother either, so I chose not to see him. If he wants to forget about my mother, then let him forget everything to do with her, including me. I wouldnât exist without her, after all. I didnât even invite him to my wedding. I think itâs best for us to keep our distance.â
Yun Nan reached out and hugged Xiang Yang. Xiang Yang smiled and stated, âDonât worry about me; Iâve gotten over it long ago. My relationship with my relatives here gradually faded after my grandfather passed away. Nowadays, weâre more business partners than anything else. However, because weâre related, thereâs a stronger foundation of trust between our businesses than with others. Weâre all quite comfortable with our current state. Itâs a good balance to maintain.â
Yun Nan pensively nodded. âThat is a useful lesson. Yun Liu has always been up to her tricks and has made up a lot of rumors about Shi Xiu when she didnât know Shi Xiu was our lead actress. Even if my studio doesnât prosecute them, Shi Nian wonât let Yun Entertainment off. Weâve been in a deadlock with them over these minor lawsuits, so itâs just as well that he said he would settle those matters as soon as possible. Weâre square now.â
Although she said that, Yun Nan inwardly still felt a little disappointed. However, thanks to Xiang Yangâs consolation, her mood finally recovered slightly.
âAll things happen as they will and canât be forced. Thereâs no point in worrying about it,â she thought..
