‘ Things wouldn’t have ended up like this if they were truly such clear-headed and sensible people,’ Yun Nan thought sadly.
“I’ll settle Yun Entertainment’s copyright cases as soon as possible. I’ll pay the compensation we owe you without delay. I won’t hand Yun Entertainment over to Yun Liu. No matter what, the company is my life’s work. Yun Liu is now a member of the Gu family. With her family backing her up, she doesn’t need our small company,” Yun Zhang growled.
Yun Nan couldn’t bear to watch him continue to be so foolish and said, “Her 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 won’t 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 she’ll have some status in the Gu family. Otherwise, she’ll only be a puppet when she returns to the Gu family, and it’ll be impossible for her to be pampered like she was in the Yun family.”
Yun Zhang was shocked at that statement and frowned, saying, “Yun Liu, she… She won’t… It can’t be. Our family raised her—”
“Then, just do as you planned,” Yun Nan didn’t want to argue about that and interrupted him. ‘ Why try to wake a person who was pretending to be asleep? she thought. ‘It would only be futile.’
“I’m busy with some things today, so I gotta go,” Yun Nan said as she stood up.
She was about to leave when Yun Zhang uttered, “Yun Nan, I will convince Mom and Dad and have them acknowledge you. You are a member of the Yun family. We are your family.”
Yun Nan turned around and smiled gently at her biological brother. “It’s fine; I don’t need their acknowledgement. You’ve been to Lu Town, so you should know that there are many kinds of families. Family isn’t limited to blood relations. ”
Yun Nan patted Xiang Yang, who had already inspected and admired the cakes and desserts for a few rounds, and said, “Let’s go. Let’s continue shopping.”
Xiang Yang felt the change in Yun Nan’s mood. After they’d bought some more stuff, she spoke up, “Did your brother upset you? You don’t seem any happier even after buying several expensive pieces of jewelry.”
Yun Nan chuckled when she heard this. “Why would I be happy about spending so much money? My wallet is taking a big hit here.”
Xiang Yang rolled her eyes. Yun Nan smiled and sighed softly. “Perhaps it’s because finding our biological family was my mother’s obsession back then, so it’s always a pity for me that my biological family doesn’t accept me. I don’t know what’s wrong with that brother of mine. He seems to want to acknowledge me but doesn’t completely want to at the same time. I don’t know. ”
She continued, “When Grandpa and Grandma Gu saw my mother’s portrait, it was an extremely bittersweet moment for them. I can only imagine how happy they would’ve been if my mother were alive. So why weren’t my biological parents happy when I returned to them? They didn’t want me; my arrival made them feel at a loss. They completely denied me after Yun Liu ‘committed suicide’ several times, but I’m their biological child!”
Xiang Yang patted Yun Nan on the shoulder and remarked, “Forget about them. With or without them, you’re all grown up anyway, so it doesn’t matter. It’s not like you renounced them—they’re the ones who disowned you, so why worry yourself sick about it? They aren’t concerned about such things at all.”
She then pointed at herself. “Feelings can fade. Take my parents, for example; they used to love each other to death. But now, I don’t think my mother has a place in his heart anymore, you know?”
“It would be unreasonable for me to insist on asking him to keep my mother in his heart, but I couldn’t 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 wouldn’t exist without her, after all. I didn’t even invite him to my wedding. I think it’s best for us to keep our distance.”
Yun Nan reached out and hugged Xiang Yang. Xiang Yang smiled and stated, “Don’t worry about me; I’ve gotten over it long ago. My relationship with my relatives here gradually faded after my grandfather passed away. Nowadays, we’re more business partners than anything else. However, because we’re related, there’s a stronger foundation of trust between our businesses than with others. We’re all quite comfortable with our current state. It’s a good balance to maintain.”
Yun Nan pensively nodded. “That 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 didn’t know Shi Xiu was our lead actress. Even if my studio doesn’t prosecute them, Shi Nian won’t let Yun Entertainment off. We’ve been in a deadlock with them over these minor lawsuits, so it’s just as well that he said he would settle those matters as soon as possible. We’re square now.”
Although she said that, Yun Nan inwardly still felt a little disappointed. However, thanks to Xiang Yang’s consolation, her mood finally recovered slightly.
‘All things happen as they will and can’t be forced. There’s no point in worrying about it,’ she thought..
