“You asked Lin Yu to go to the hospital to confirm how serious Shi Nian’s injuries are, didn’t you?” Yun Nan asked detachedly.
“Why would I want to confirm Shi Nian’s injuries?” Shi Gao retorted, her tone unfriendly.
Yun Nan looked at Shi Gao. “That’s what I don’t get, so I thought I’d come and ask you! Or do you suspect that the person lying in the ward is Shi Ke? I really don’t get it; for someone who claims to like him, do you wish him good or bad?”
Shi Gao sneered, “Young Madam Shi! Aren’t you being a little aggressive?
Putting aside you causing trouble on my turf, isn’t pinning such a groundless allegation on me too much? No matter how good my temper is, I can’t let you guys bully me like this, right?”
Shi Xiu scoffed, “Good temper? Stop flattering yourself!” Yun Nan glanced at her, and Shi Xiu shifted back and stopped talking.
Yun Nan unhurriedly said, “Miss Shi Gao, you went abroad for some time and took over Rong City’s largest entertainment establishment after you returned. Your capability is extremely admirable. However, everyone could’ve lived in peace if Miss Shi Gao hadn’t extended your reach to the Shi family!”
Shi Gao calmly replied, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m just an employee; I’m simply the ‘face’ of my employer. In my mind, I’ve always kept a wide berth from you guys because I can’t afford to offend the Shi family in this
Rong City! ”
Yun Nan nodded. “Yes, you only mess with Xiang Yang, because you’re jealous that she has a good husband and good in-laws. You think that you’re in no way inferior to Xiang Yang, and everything she has can also be yours! That’s why you wish for something to happen to Xiang Yang the most, right?” “You!” Shi Gao jumped up as if Yun Nan had touched a nerve. “That’s absurd!”
Yun Nan stared up at her. “Is that so? Absurd, am I? Don’t you want to marry into the Shi family and be the eldest young madam? You think Xiang Yang isn’t worthy of Shi Ke, and you’ve always wanted to replace her, so you used every opportunity you could to get rid of her! Make her disappear from the face of the earth! Isn’t that right?”
Shi Gao couldn’t stop Yun Nan from speaking and accidentally bit her own tongue the moment she opened her mouth, the pain causing her brain to short-circuit momentarily. She could hear her own voice trembling a little as she asked, “What did you say? Disappear? Xiang Yang?”
Yun Nan slowly stood up and looked at Shi Gao at eye level. “That’s right! Xiang Yang has gone missing. Who do you think is the biggest suspect when someone as reclusive as her goes missing?”
Yun Nan continued, “Did you also receive the news that Shi Ke’s returning for a vacation? What would he do if he knew that Xiang Yang had gone missing? Do you want to see Shi Ke so badly that you’re okay with letting him interrogate you like a criminal?”
Shi Gao unconsciously stepped back and fell onto the booth’s cushion. Now,
Yun Nan was the one looking down at her. Yun Nan stated, “You used Xiang Yang’s insignificant past as a knife, wishing to tear her into pieces, but let me tell you something: Xiang Yang never hid her past from anyone, especially Shi Ke. Do you think those things can be used against Xiang Yang in the Shi family? If you do, then you’re dead wrong. Don’t compare Lin Yu to Xiang Yang. You can get Lin Yu under your thumb, but you can’t control Xiang Yang!”
“Do you know why Shi Ke loves Xiang Yang so much? And Xiang Yang’s admirers in the past… Do you know why they like her but not you?” Yun Nan inquired. “Do you know why you can’t compare to Xiang Yang no matter how hard you work? Because Xiang Yang is pure and honest. Unlike you, who’s full of schemes, she never weighs the pros and cons of anyone or anything. That’s why those men are willing to stay with and protect her! Whereas with you, you guys will only use and be on guard against each other!”
Shi Gao abruptly stood up and made to slap Yun Nan across the face. Yun Nan grabbed her hand before the hit could land and stared at her coldly. “It looks like I’ve ruffled some feathers. Then, I’ll have to trouble you to pass a message to that boss of yours. If he dares to harm a single hair on Xiang Yang’s head, the Shi family will definitely make him pay a heavy price!”
Yun Nan added, “Also, the Shi family welcomes all those ambitious to challenge us personally. Our family has been living in comfort for too long and needs to ‘borrow’ people to help us train!”
She flung Shi Gao’s hand away and said to Shi Xiu and Fang Xi, “Let’s go.”
Shi Xiu helped Fang Xi up, and before they left, she suddenly asked Yun Nan, “Yun Nan, I want to try my hand at business acquisition. Can you send someone to teach me?”
Yun Nan and Fang Xi both understood what she was thinking. Fang Xi looked around and remarked, “Then, can you leave the renovation to me after you’ve successfully acquired the business? I really don’t like the environment here; the design is so outlandish.”
Shi Xiu nodded. “I’d like that. It’s a deal! Yun Nan, I don’t need funds from the Shi family. I want to have my own business and save money for my dowry myself! ”
The three acted like no one else was around—as if the Shi family’s young miss already had this top-notch entertainment establishment in the bag..
