“Hah!” Xiang Yang and Yun Nan cried out simultaneously, cutting Yun Liu off.

“Surely your memory can’t be that bad, Miss Yun Liu,” Xiang Yang commented. “If I remember correctly, a few months ago, you were the one who copied the wedding rings I gifted to Shi Nian and Yun Nan. I even personally asked my lawyer to send you a demand letter. Don’t give me that excuse about not recognizing me; at the very least, you must’ve seen my photo at my new product launch! ”

Yun Nan added, “You were with the Yun family the day I left them and saw my marriage certificate with your own eyes. You cried and made a fuss because of this and made my father slap me, asking me to divorce Shi Nian immediately. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten about that, Yun Liu!”

Yun Liu didn’t expect these two to expose her without regard for her feelings. She could only cry and argue, “Xiang Yang, my previous manager was the one who copied the rings you designed. I was unaware of what she was doing; I really wasn’t involved. Yun Nan, even Mom and Dad denied that marriage certificate. I thought the certificate was fake when I saw that you guys didn’t hold a wedding. After all, it’s not hard for your studio’s props crew to make a fake marriage certificate.”

Xiang Yang and Yun Nan had to try their best to resist the urge to roll their eyes when they heard Yun Liu’s ‘explanations.’

Little Madam Gu couldn’t stand it anymore and stepped forward. “Enough!

Stop arguing! You’re all people of some status. Is this any way to behave? Young Masters Shi, it seems that this is a misunderstanding. Why don’t we end things here for now? We’ll arrange a visit some other time and explain then.”

She continued, “We really did come here to discuss an important ‘marriage proposal’ with your Shi family. If you don’t believe me, you can go home and ask your family’s elders! Sister-in-law, it’s getting late. Let’s go.”

Little Madam Guts speech basically smoothed over the issue and told the Shi brothers to hurry home. She’d ignored the Shi family’s two daughters-in-law while treating her eldest sister-in-law beside her with courtesy.

Madam Gu snorted and walked away, the other Gu women following her. Xiang Yang wanted to say something, but Shi Ke stopped her and shook his head.

After the group had left, Xiang Yang angrily said, “That woman sure is something! She didn’t say a word the whole time we were arguing, but when she saw that they were losing ground, she came out to close the argument.

Hmph!”

Shi Ke and Shi Nian shared a look, and Shi Ke questioned, “Why didn’t I hear anything about a visit from White City’s Gu family?”

Shi Nian frowned. “From what they’re saying, they’re here to discuss Shi Xiu’s marriage. The main branch of the Gu family only has one grandson.”

Ye Kun was furious. “So, they want their to marry Shi Xiu? The nerve!

Shi Xiu is still a child! Besides, from what I’ve seen of those women’s characters, it’d be a sin to marry Shi Xiu to their family!”

Shi Ke, Shi Nian, and Shi Nian’s buddies had all watched Shi Xiu grow up. Their four families had a thriving male population and only a few females, so the girls of their families were very precious to all of them. There was no way they could tolerate this when they heard about it.

“Those women are only from the Gu family’s side branch, not the main branch,” Shi Nian explained.

Yun Nan frowned. “The main branch probably isn’t any better if the family’s side branch is already so arrogant! And what is going on with Yun Liu? When did she find her biological parents? I didn’t hear anything about it at all.”

Fang Xi gave it some thought and remarked, “Yun Liu’s reputation is extremely bad right now, so Tan Ning decided to make a big deal out of her orphan background. During many of her press conferences and daily interviews, Yun Liu frequently recounted her tragic orphan backstory and used this to gain the sympathy of her fans. I heard it’s quite effective; people always instinctively sympathize with the weak. However, she didn’t release the news that she’d found her biological parents. I think she’s planning something big to whitewash her image.”

Xiang Yang furrowed her brows and said sympathetically, “That woman’s quite skilled at scheming. Yun Nan, I don’t think you’re her match. Fang Xi, you guys have to be careful. She’s an upgraded combo version of green tea and a phony.”

“What does green tea have to do with this? Phony?” Shi Ke didn’t understand such slang terms and asked in confusion.

Xiang Yang chuckled, “You don’t need to know what they mean. You won’t be able to meet such people anyway. But Yun Nan has her work cut out for her; she probably has to deal with quite a few of these kinds of women because Shi Nian is really too attention-grabbing.”

Shi Nian felt aggrieved at the comment. “Xiang Yang, I’m not trying to seek attention. I don’t hide anything from Yun Nan, so she knows everything about me. It’s Gu Man who’s shameless; I really can’t do anything about it.”

Xiang Yang pulled Yun Nan close and told her, “You have to tell Mom, Dad, and Grandpa. You’ve been wronged; you’ve been the daughter-in-law of the Shi family for so long, yet someone still wants to replace you. This won’t do. Looks like we have to hold a wedding and tell the whole world who you are!”

Yun Nan smiled and said, “It wouldn’t matter whether we hold a wedding or not. Some people are just being deliberately obtuse. You can’t wake a person who is pretending to be asleep..”
