"What is it?"
"Who was that paternal grandmother who took me in after I was kicked out of the Yu Family?" Yu Mei asked after thinking about it.
Back when Li Na passed away, the Yu Family managed to get the 10% shares from the previous that were initially under her name, and then, later on, she was kicked out of their villa. Suddenly, a kind paternal grandmother popped up in the picture and took her in.
The previous owner stayed with that old lady and waited for Daniel to return from abroad so that he can help her get back on the good side of the family.
But then, a man showed up at her doorstep with the offer of marriage and the deal of keeping it a secret.
By then, the girl had lost hopes of getting back into her family and when she saw Jun Zixuan's picture, she believed it to be love at first sight. He was handsome and rich. After some contemplation and knowing the involvement of her late mother in this marriage arrangement, she ended up agreeing to the offer while inwardly scheming to impress her family by using Jun Zixuan's wealth and status to help them.
Daniel stiffened, "She was hired to pretend as our paternal grandmother so that she can keep an eye on you."
"I thought so," She sighed. It was certainly crazy that a schemer like Yu Mei Zhen got thoroughly schemed by this family.
After she got the memories, she was wondering how the previous owner got her hands on 10% shares of Dream Entertainment.
Master Yu was neither fond of daughters and to top it off, he despised this particular daughter who was born from his supposed 'mistress'.
But now that Yu Mei got to know her identity, she realized the truth. It must have been Li Na, the original CEO of Dream Entertainment who gave the shares to her daughter when things were still under her control.
But then, she got confused about this paternal grandmother after knowing that Master Yu was in fact an orphan named Jin Jitong who was adopted by the Yu Family.
Daniel was a bit embarrassed about admitting it. He found it rather hard to accept that they were so cruel to her in the past. He awkwardly ran his fingers through his messy hair.
Yu Mei tilted her head to the side as she glanced at him unblinkingly.
The man froze under her constant stare. Was she still not over him completely? Was she attracted to him? "Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked, unconsciously as his hopes soared higher.
"When Zixuan does that..." She thought back to the times when she has seen him raking his fingers through his messy hair and her heart skipped a beat, "He looks otherworldly. But other men...for example, you... look downright ugly. I was just wondering why..." Her face scrunched up slightly.
Pfft.
This time it was Daniel who restrained himself from vomiting a mouthful of blood.
Yu Yan stifled her laughter. Her brother has been a hunk all his life. When has he ever been called ugly by a woman? She must be taking revenge for all the times he had called her ugly in the past.
What she did not know was that Yu Mei meant it. Literally. She was so obsessed with Jun Zixuan that all the men in the world looked like aliens to her.
"Zixuan..." Yu Yan blinked at her.
"My man," Yu Mei proudly declared before snatching her clutch from her hand.
''What are you doing?" Yu Yan glared at her. Why was this bitch so hateful?
Yu Mei took out a gold card from it before throwing it back to the woman, "I am taking this," It was Jun Zixuan's card that the previous owner gifted to Yu Yan in order to get closer to her.
"Don't act as if I stole it. You gave it to me by yourself," Yu Yan scoffed.
"I realized I can't leave my man's belongings with other women. What if they did black magic on it to seduce him? That would break my heart," She spoke dramatically.
Yu Yan was one step away from pouncing the woman and ripping her hair off. This bitch will never change. She was a bitch in the past and she is a bigger bitch right now.
Daniel patted his sister's back who was already seething with rage at this point.
Yu Mei walked towards her car, got something from inside before walking towards them. She grabbed Yu Yan's hand and placed something on it, "Don't bother me unless your world is falling apart," She waved her hand at them and turned around to walk away, "Don't forget to pray for me. Ask God to give me a happy and peaceful life," With that said, she got inside the car and drove off leaving the Yu siblings standing rooted to their spots.
"What a shameless woman!!" Yu Yan rolled her eyes.
''What did she give you?" Daniel glanced at his sister.
"How would I know?" Yu Yan glanced at the card in her hand which had the logo of Rosette on it. She was stunned.
"She pretends to be so ruthless yet gives this to us..." Daniel was speechless, "Does this means she will help us if we are in need?"
Yu Yan blinked, "Brother, she has changed so much."
Daniel glanced in the direction in which her car disappeared, "She is like a star now. So beautiful yet unreachable."
"Brother, your philosophy is giving me goosebumps," Yu Yan glared at the man, "She is still your half-sister though."
"I like her. How am I supposed to hide it?"
Yu Yan rolled her eyes, "You didn't say that when she was crazily chasing you. When she was fat and ugly, you were disgusted with her."
"I was not disgusted with her looks but her personality, her nature. She tried to kiss Zhu Boqin who was her friend's boyfriend just because she knew I was there. She stooped so low to get my attention. She pretended to be innocent but schemed against everyone. And now, even though she acts like a bad bitch, I find her soft-hearted, I don't know how she changed so much but she did."
''And you are like a moth who can't resist the temptation of fire," That was when Yu Yan realized how serious her brother was but just as he said, she was unreachable now. Yu Yan held his hand, snapping him out of his thoughts, "What are we going to do now?"
"I have booked our tickets with whatever savings I was left with. We are going abroad. I will start a small business with the savings I am left with and you will pursue your further education.''
"What about mom and dad?"
Daniel sighed, "Let's meet them for the last time before our flight boarding time. But we cannot do anything about it. It's not just about drugs and casting couch anymore, they are involved in the murder case now," It might be ruthless on his part but he has warned them countless times when things in the company started going wrong yet they ended up getting involved in so many illegal activities.
And now, they were left with nothing. He was sure the media won't let them live peacefully if he stayed here and he had a younger sister to look after. Despite her age, she was young to him. It was not the time for him to let his emotions take control and make him weak.
"Murder case? Is it related to the actress who was found dead in her apartment a few months ago? But she committed suicide out of depression."
"No, our parents' involvement is found along with evidence. I just hope they can realize their mistakes and redeem themselves this time."
Yu Yan lowered her head, "Alright, let's go."
She never thought that their parents will keep them in dark about so many things. But there was no going back now.
The Yu siblings did not know if they were disappointed, sad, broken-hearted, or simply angry at their parents' act, at how well they pretended to be something else in front of them.
On the other hand, it was kind of a bittersweet feeling that they got a proper closure with Yu Mei.
As for the rest, they just hoped that everything will start to get better with time.
