“But Yun Liu grew up with our family since she was young. She’s no different to Yun Nan, with or without blood relations,” Yun Zhang muttered.

“There is a difference! Your family treats Yun Liu as their own, but none of you ever accepted Yun Nan. Since that’s the case, sever all ties with her as stated in the agreement you signed when she left your family! She’s now unrelated to all of you; don’t use her to get close to my family in the future! Have some dignity, and don’t make me look down on the Yun family any further!” Shi Nian chastised.

Yun Zhang couldn’t help but flush in shame. Shi Nian pressed a button to summon his secretary, and the secretary soon came through the door. Shi Nian coldly ordered, “See him out the door!”

The secretary stepped forward and politely stated, “After you, Mr. Yun!” Yun Zhang remained where he was; he wanted to say something but didn’t know what else to say.

Shi Nian noticed his dithering. He looked Yun Zhang in the eye and warned, “Listen carefully because I’ll only say this once! I don’t want to use my family’s clout to oppress you and yours, but I won’t hesitate if you guys cross the line!”

Someone knocked on the door. “Come in!” Shi Nian snapped without pause for thought. He injected all of his rage into those two words, causing Yun Zhang to tremble involuntarily.

Shi Xiu’s bodyguard came in with more than ten bags in his hands. When he saw Shi Nian, he respectfully informed him, “Second Young Master, these are clothes that the Young Miss has bought for Second Young Madam. The Young Miss wants you to bring them home for the Young Madam after you get off work. ”

Yun Zhang was on his way out and couldn’t help but turn around to take a look when he heard that. He was very familiar with the logo on those bags. It was a luxury brand; his mother and sister were regular customers. ‘Shi Xiu bought all these for Yun Nan? he thought. ‘Shi Xiu is quite frosty to Yun Liu, so why does she treat Yun Nan so nicely?

Shi Nian’s expression softened after hearing the bodyguard’s words. “And where’s Shi Xiu?” he asked.

The bodyguard answered, “Young Miss is visiting the Second Young Madam for

a playdate. It was inconvenient to bring these bags with her, and she didn’t Imow when you two would be home, so she asked me to send them here to you.”

Shi Nian smiled and replied, “Alright, just leave them here and go.”

“Yes, sir!” The bodyguard then paused and glanced at Shi Nian, who asked, “Is there anything else?”

The bodyguard mustered up his courage and spoke. “The Young Miss has a message for you: she wants you to work late tonight and don’t return home too early. She wishes to spend more time with the Young Madam.”

Shi Nian laughed and waved his hand, “I got it, I got it. Off you go.” Yun Zhang felt a strange coldness in his heart; he had never heard Shi Nian speak with such gentleness before.

Yun Nan was giving Shi Xiu a tour of her studio. Shi Xiu was full of surprise and amazement at everything she saw. She held Yun Nan’s arm and whispered, “Yun Nan, this place is amazing! There are so many things I’ve never seen before! I feel like an uncultured bumpkin. ”

Yun Nan smiled and patted Shi Xiu’s hand. “You’re welcome to come here often if you wish,” she offered.

“Can I?” Shi Xiu asked, hopeful yet unsure.

Yun Nan smilingly nodded. “Of course, you can. I’ll take you to the costumes, props, and make-up department. Didn’t you like that mini-qipao collection? I’ll introduce you to the lady who made them.”

Shi Xiu did her best to stop herself from jumping up and down in joy. Even so, she couldn’t help but twirl around on the spot. “Yun Nan, I love you to bits,” she murmured. Yun Nan laughed and put an arm around Shi Xiu’s shoulders. ‘She’s so adorable,’ she thought.

Yun Nan brought Shi Xiu over to Miss An. Miss An looked up from her embroidery and gave Shi Xiu a once-over. “Yun Nan, is this your little sister?” she asked. “Mika will be quite happy to meet her.”

Shi Xiu looked at Yun Nan in confusion. Yun Nan smiled and told her, “Mika is my senior; he’s our casting director. Miss An is saying that you’re beautiful and cute, because Mika has an occupational habit; whenever he sees pretty girls like you, he’ll chase after and persuade them to become his actresses—he’s somewhat like a talent scout.”

“Oh? And here I thought Miss An felt I was too fat and that Mika liked to eat chubby people,” Shi Xiu joked, successfully making Miss An and Yun Nan burst out in laughter.

Miss An’s embroidery quickly drew Shi Xiu in. She was so absorbed she didn’t pay Yun Nan any more attention and just stayed beside Miss An to watch her as she worked.

Yun Nan smiled. “You can stay here with Miss An while I go and take care of a few things,” she suggested.

“Okay, alright, that’s fine.” Shi Xiu waved her goodbyes, eyes glued to the embroidery.

Yun Nan chuckled. Miss An also didn’t look up from her work as she said, “Go ahead. Fang Xi won’t be back for several days, so you should hurry up and deal with her stuff as well. We’re short on staff, so everyone has to take on multiple roles—including you, boss! Leave your little sister to me. You never know, I might train her up to become one of our staff.”

Yun Nan smiled as she left, thinking, ‘Does Miss An want her name to go down in history as the person who trained the daughter of the Shi family into a

worker?
