Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Yun Liu looked at Yun Zhang in shock. “Yun Zhang, when did you become so—so shameless?”

The smile on Yun Zhang’s face disappeared. “Oh? Shameless, you say. I’m shameless? Yun Liu, you count this as being shameless? Then what does it say about you when you clearly know that Yun Nan and Shi Nian are married, but want to interfere in their marriage anyway? Isn’t that even more shameless?”

“So you’re doing all this for Yun Nan? You want to destroy me, for Yun Nan?” Yun Liu roared.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“For the sake of my own biological sister, why not?” Yun Zhang replied lightly.

Yun Liu fumed. She pointed at Yun Zhang and snarled, “I’ll hold a press conference! I’ll tell the public the truth and have everyone know your true purpose, know your malicious character!”

“Alright! Up to you! Go ahead!” Yun Zhang said and slowly turned away. “But don’t say that I didn’t warn you. Before you do anything, think about your current situation. Think about whether anyone will still believe your words.” With that, Yun Zhang headed to the garden.

Yun Liu dejectedly slumped back onto the sofa. ‘Yun Zhang, you’re indeed ruthless,’ she thought. Her phone kept vibrating in her bag, so Yun Liu subconsciously picked it up.

“Yun Liu, what took you so long to pick up?” Tan Ning’s agitated voice sounded from the speaker. “I’m freaking out here! Yun Liu, we have an urgent matter we need to take care of right now. Chen Tao is urging us to deliver new goods to them quickly!”

Yun Liu rubbed her face roughly with her hand in frustration. “I’m in no mood to look for ‘new goods’ for them,” she uttered coldly. “Who do they think I am? The brothel madam?”

Tan Ning didn’t care about Yun Liu’s complaints. “Yun Liu!” she snapped. “Do you dare to say that to Chen Tao? I certainly don’t! Hurry up and think of a solution!”

“A solution? What can I do? The company is back in Yun Zhang’s hands now, and he’s personally responsible for the selection and training of newcomers. There’s nothing I can do to intervene! You know that very well, so why are you saying all this nonsense?” Yun Liu replied, annoyed.

“Yun Liu!” Tan Ning lowered her voice. “They have photos of you! Those kinds of photos! Chen Tao said that if you fail to deliver the goods according to the agreed amount, they’ll release your photos to the public! Yun Liu, you have to figure something out! Otherwise… That Chen Tao is capable of anything. How are we going to resolve things if he does go through with his threat?”

Yun Liu froze. She couldn’t help but imagine her future self in an awful state and the target of everyone’s scorn and contempt, and shivered. Out of her wits, Yun Liu’s tone softened as she asked Tan Ning for help: “Tan Ning, what should we do?”

Tan Ning was gobsmacked. ‘Where’s your unyielding attitude just now? Where did it go? Oh, now you’re afraid and want my advice, but what can I do?’

“Why don’t we tell Mr. Yun about this and say that you were threatened and blackmailed into it? Mr. Yun won’t ignore this,” Tan Ning hesitantly suggested.

“No! Absolutely not! You can’t let my brother know about this!” Yun Liu objected frantically. ‘Yun Zhang will kill me if he finds out!’

“Then we have to continue to provide new girls to Chen Tao. They are even more ruthless than us or your brother; there’s no way we can survive their ire!” Tan Ning countered, also very anxious. ‘I can’t do this, and I can’t do that,’ she mentally groused. ‘And at the same time, I have to deal with you two siblings— no, it’s fiancé and fiancée, now. What can I do?’

Distraught, Yun Liu told Tan Ning, “Let me think on this, Tan Ning. Help me think of something, figure something out… Tan Ning, go to the idol training center and take a look at the trainees there. We’ll figure something out after we confirm our targets!”

Yun Liu had just put down her phone, her heartbeat still yet to calm down, when she heard Yun Zhang ask from behind her, “What can’t I know about?”

“Nothing!” Yun Liu was so scared out of her wits that she tossed her phone out and panickedly denied, “Nothing! Nothing at all!”

Yun Zhang bent down and picked up the phone. He handed it to Yun Liu and smiled. “What’s wrong? You’re looking at me like you’ve seen a ghost. Tan Ning called?”

Yun Liu forced herself to calm down. “Yes, it was Tan Ning,” Yun Liu answered, a little stammeringly. “She helped me take on a job. A job I don’t like. We—we’re still talking it out.”

Yun Zhang raised his eyebrows and said detachedly, “If you don’t like it, then don’t do it. Hand the job over to another artiste. It’s not like our company doesn’t have anyone else. As my fiancée, you’ll be Yun Entertainment’s boss lady in the future. It’s meaningless to compete with your own employees for fame and profit.”

Yun Liu endured his lecture and tried to calm herself down, but she had to make one last attempt. “Yun Zhang,” she stated softly. “In my heart, you’ll always be my brother. I don’t want to be Yun Entertainment’s boss lady. I’m willing to be your sister for the rest of my life!”

So saying, Yun Liu stared pitifully at Yun Zhang with teary eyes. Yun Zhang looked at her and appeared to be touched. He nodded, but then he said, “Sure, let’s talk about it in two years.” He began walking toward the exit as he spoke, his voice gradually getting fainter as he moved further and further away. “The dust will have settled after two years, and some things will be easier to move on from.”

‘F*ck your two years!’ Yun Liu thought venomously as she watched Yun Zhang’s figure leave, nearly choking on her anger. ‘What a malicious move! Two years! The dust will indeed have settled.’
