Gu Wei  shocked by her son’s sudden temper, and her voice weakened when she asked, “You… What’s wrong?”

“Come on! We’re going home!” Yun Zhang dragged Gu Wei towards the exit and snatched the phone from a stunned Tan Ning.

“Hey, that’s evidence!” Gu Wei indignantly shouted as she reached for the phone in Yun Zhang’s hand.

Yun Zhang looked angry as he avoided her hand. He struggled to suppress his rage and murmured, “Mom, I’m begging you, please just go home. Stop embarrassing yourself here! ”

A few curious staff members were already crowding at the door, wondering what was going on.

“What’s there for me to be embarrassed about?!” Gu Wei yelled, trying for fierce nonchalance despite feeling otherwise. “Yun Nan isn’t afraid of embarrassing herself, so why should I be afraid?”

Upstairs, Yun Nan stood before the window and heaved a sigh of relief as she watched Yun Zhang drag Gu Wei away. She also felt a little chagrined at letting the woman get to her.

Shi Nian read her mind and teased, “That was stupid. Where did the sharp-tongued Yun Nan go?”

Yun Nan rolled her eyes at him. No matter how much Gu Wei hurt her, she was still her birth mother. For some reason, Yun Nan couldn’t bring herself to say anything harsh to the woman.

Shi Nian sighed. “Indeed, it’s always the ones closest to us that hurt us the most. She doesn’t want to treat you as her own, but she wants to enjoy the benefits you can give her. Psh… like that’ll ever happen. Yun Nan, you need to get a grip. Don’t let her emotionally blackmail you. From the looks of it, Yun Zhang probably didn’t know his mother came here for such a purpose. He’ll quite likely reprimand her when they get home.”

Yun Nan said nothing, but Shi Nian’s words warmed her heart.

Shi Nian informed her, “Yun Nan, Hai Hua got in contact with Chang Yuan; she wants us to go on Shi Xiu’s reality show. I just learned from Fang Xi that the show’s staff also approached you.”

“Yeah, they did. I told Fang Xi I don’t want to go,” Yun Nan replied.

“Yun Nan, let’s go on the show together,” Shi Nian said seriously.

Yun Nan looked at Shi Nian in surprise and thought, ‘You’re the Shi Corporation’s chairman, and you want to go on a reality show?

Shi Nian knew what she was thinking, smiled, and uttered, “I want to give it a go. We won’t stay long—only for an episode or two. This way, we can kill two birds with one stone. Firstly, we can check up on Shi Xiu. Secondly, I think your mother and Yun Liu will definitely use your relationship with them against you and spread rumors. We can take this opportunity to clarify things to the public. Even if we can’t settle this once and for all, at least we’ll have used this good opportunity and let the people know the truth.”

Shi Nian’s reasoning was solid, but Yun Nan was slightly hesitant about the idea; she had never liked showing her private life to others.

“I think it’s a good idea!” Fang Xi chimed in. She had come in sometime during their conversation and leaned against the door frame.

Shi Nian and Yun Nan turned around to look at her. Fang Xi chuckled and shrugged. “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop; you guys left the door open. I just wanted to peek at what you lovebirds are up to.”

Shi Nian laughed while Yun Nan glared at her. Fang Xi quickly wiped the wide grin off her face and replaced it with a more sedate smile. She walked towards the couple and said, “I heard the news. Yun Liu’s current manager, Tan Ning, is famous for being difficult to deal with. I saw what your mother did today. They have a camera filming the whole thing, but we also have surveillance cameras! Tan Ning must want to use that recording to cause a public stir. She’ll probably spread the news about the tension between you and your relatives, push all the blame on you, and use that to discredit you. Since we know what she plans to do, we can’t just ignore it.”

“But Fang Xi, isn’t that your job?” Yun Nan sighed. ” You’re the one who is supposed to tackle these problems when they arise. I don’t think you’re doing a good job. Why do you still need me—the party involved—to come forward to

solve this matter?”

Fang Xi rolled her eyes at her. “I don’t see the chairman of the Shi Corporation complaining about coming forward for such a small matter, so why are you complaining? To be honest, Chairman Shi just has to make an appearance in public, whereas you’ll have to sell your charm! I’m relying on your stunning looks to make our small studio famous so people will stop trying to merge us with their companies!”

Fang Xi had grabbed Yun Nan’s chin as she spoke, so Yun Nan slapped her hand away. Fang Xi ignored her annoyed friend and turned to Shi Nian to ask,

“Chairman Shi, you’re certain you want to participate in this reality show?”

Shi Nian nodded. “Please, call me Shi Nian.”

Fang Xi smiled and gave him a meaningful look. Mika shouted to Yun Nan from another office a distance away, “Yun Nan, come here for a moment!”

Yun Nan hurriedly left the two and walked out. After she was gone, Fang Xi suddenly asked Shi Nian, “Are you serious about Yun Nan?”

When Shi Nian heard this, he knew Fang Xi knew the truth about his marriage with Yun Nan. He smiled and answered, “I was serious from the beginning.”

Fang Xi looked at Shi Nian in shock. Although she could tell Shi Nian had feelings for Yun Nan, she hadn’t expected the man to admit it himself.

Shi Nian smiled and said, “She is smart and very perceptive, but she’s sensitive and slow when feelings are involved.”

“What do you mean?” Fang Xi inquired, curious..
