Chapter 117 - Yun Qingrong’s Daughter (1)
"So that's how it is." Yun Shao furrowed his brows in understanding.
He hadn't heard from his sister for a long time as Yun Qingrong had not responded to his messages before and wondered why she was keeping her distance even from him. Yun Shao also hated Su Haoran the moment he met the man, but he hadn't thought that his family would face such a hurdle because of that scheming man.
"Mama is trying to end things between them amicably, but I don't think Su Haoran would easily agree to the divorce since all our properties are under Mama's name. He's now contesting that he had also put in a fair share of effort in acquiring those properties." Su Xiaofei continued to explain her mother's predicament.
The Yun brothers could see that she was only concerned about their sister and wasn't even recognizing Su Haoran as her father. One could clearly see the hatred in her eyes towards the man she was speaking of.
"Su Xiaofei, you have to be clear with what kind of help you want from our family." Yun Yuanzhi told the young woman.
"I suspect that aside from cheating behind my mother, Su Haoran must be doing other things behind her back. He frequently went on business trips for the past three years and was always away for at least a week or two. Although he was claiming it was related to work, Mama always argued with him about these prolonged trips."
"Do you think he's seeing another woman aside from the mistress that came to see Qing'er recently?" Yun Zhaonan asked.
Su Xiaofei shrugged and indifferently glanced at the other men in the room, gauging their reactions. She wouldn't be surprised if Su Haoran was seeing another woman aside from Ye Xing, however, that didn't concern her one bit. It wouldn't be her mother's problem anymore.
"Just the other day, a man came to our house while my mother was away, claiming that Su Haoran owed him a lot of money and came to Qiying City to collect his debt. I fear that the man doesn't come from a clean background and would come after my mother."
Su Xiaofei wasn't lying anyway. Aunty Liu had panicked when the man appeared, threatening to make a scene if Su Haoran didn't show up to meet him. Su Xiaofei had to face him and she gave the man the address where her adoptive father was living with Ye Xing and Ye Mingyu. She could only hope that the family of three would love the surprise she prepared for them.
It now made sense to the Yun family why Su Xiaofei didn't resist meeting them this time. Even Yun Xiang furrowed his brow and was in deep thoughts, wondering how they could help his paternal aunt.
If it was merely regarding Su Haoran's cheating affair, the Yun family wouldn't bother to waste their time to help their kin, however, now that Su Xiaofei had raised the possibility of a threat on Yun Qingrong's life, they obviously wouldn't be able to ignore it.
"Obviously, Su Haoran loves that pair of mother and daughter. He doesn't even hold me nor my mother in his eyes. If something happens to my mother while their divorce isn't settled yet, he would get his hands on my Mama's properties and wealth." She continued.
Su Xiaofei didn't need to elaborate what she meant by those words, as they immediately understood what she was trying to imply.
"This man that went to see Su Haoran… were you able to get his name?" General Yun asked in all seriousness.
"En, but I doubt if it is even his actual name. I can ask our housekeeper to give you a copy of the CCTV recording if you want, but I don't know if it could help at all." Su Xiaofei smiled faintly.
"It would be more than enough for us, Su Xiaofei. Even better if the CCTV recording is able to show his face clearly for recognition." Yun Zhaonan replied, pushing up the bridge of his spectacles on his face.
"Preposterous!" General Yun gritted his teeth, his fists clenching on top of his desk. He could feel his chest tightening as he thought of how his precious daughter was being wronged by her own husband, to the extent of placing her life in a precarious position.
Had Su Xiaofei not come today, they would still be oblivious to what was truly happening to Yun Qingrong now. He truly regretted cutting his ties with his daughter, but why didn't Qing'er come home and seek their help herself if this was the case?
"So you didn't accept our invitation, hoping that you'll be acknowledged as part of our Yun family?" Yun Yuanzhi asked her coldly. He had to admit that their sister's adopted daughter had some guts to face them like this.
Su Xiaofei flashed him a smile that was neither warm nor cold.
"This one understood her place as an outsider to the Yun family and wouldn't dare to ask such recognition from your family. Whether I am worthy of being called a member of the Yun family or not, only General Yun and esteemed Uncles could decide on it."
She paused and her eyes met the old man's fierce glare without being intimidated by it. These men, who were known to have an authoritative personality, had lowered their defenses, allowing Su Xiaofei to exploit their common weakness, which was her mother.
"General Yun, I hold an enmity towards Su Haoran and his other family because of what they have done to my mother over the years. It was enough that he'd lied to her, but I cannot allow him to endanger my mother's life. I am nothing but an unwanted child of another woman she'd raised and have no resources to help her on my own.. This one wouldn't ask for anything, and could only hope that you wouldn't deny my request to save my mother's life from a potential danger."
