Zhuang Xiyue hugged her even tighter, excitedly saying, "Yun Ya, it really is you, Yun Ya." "It’s me, Aunt Zhuang, I’ve come back." Somehow, this scene made many people present feel a sourness around their eyes. Su Zhiyuan lifted an eyebrow, seemingly understanding. Although it was still somewhat unbelievable, the fact before him told him that the once Young Miss Ji, Yun Shen’s daughter, was the internationally renowned Dr. Nyx. He didn’t believe that Ji Yunya had truly been sent overseas by Yun Shu for convalescence, and neither did the others in attendance. Everyone could see the undercurrents between the few of them, but no one delved into what the truth actually was, after all, Ji Yunya had now returned. Lady Su sighed, "She truly is Ji Lanyi’s daughter, with that face, that figure and temperament, surpassing Ji Lanyi herself from back in the day. Only someone like her truly deserves the title of the number one belle." Another lady by her side chuckled in agreement, "Of course, just look at her background. Her mother was the number one belle, and I’ve even heard her maternal grandmother came from a noble family of the late Qing dynasty. Noble blood flows through her veins, she’s not someone those ordinary cats and dogs can compare with." This lady didn’t lower her voice on purpose, and most people heard her. Yun Shu’s expression turned gloomy, and Kang Jinse was on the verge of crying. It was a naked mockery. She was the ordinary cat, the ordinary dog, whereas Ji Yunya was the noble belle. All her years of efforts turned to bubbles the moment Ji Yunya appeared. She was not willing to accept this, not at all... Yun Shu took a deep breath, quickly assessed the situation on site, and though caught off guard, she managed to calm down rapidly, a gentle smile on her face as she extricated herself from Kang Jinse’s grasp and walked toward Yun Ya. "Yun Ya, why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were coming back? I would have sent someone to pick you up. You returned so rashly, and we hadn’t prepared anything at home; Grandma is afraid we haven’t treated you well enough." Yun Ya raised an eyebrow, her smile growing even more gentle, "Grandma, do I need to report before coming back to my own home?" This sentence made Yun Shu’s expression stiffen for a moment, inwardly cursing the damned girl, yet she still walked over with a smile and took hold of Yun Ya’s hand. The chilly touch made her involuntarily tense up, "What are you saying? No matter how far you go, home is always your home." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N0veI.Fiɾe.net "Is that so? Grandma is so good to me." Yun Ya’s face showed a moved expression, creating what looked like a touching scene of filial grandchild and kind grandmother. Zhuang Xiyue frowned subconsciously but stood to the side without saying a word. Someone then said, "Just now, Lady Yun said that Miss Ji was in a mental health recovery center overseas, but Miss Ji said she wasn’t. What’s actually going on? We are all confused." At that moment, Kang Jinse, who stood beside Yun Shen, laughed, "What else could it be? Yun Ya is mentally ill, so Aunt Yun sent her to the best mental health recovery center overseas. Who knew she would just run back on her own? But then again, many people with mental illness claim they’re not ill...." Kang Jinse’s status was really not suitable for speaking up at that moment, but she couldn’t help herself. After all, her reputation was already spoiled, so she didn’t mind making it worse—as long as she could trample that wretched Ji Yunya into the mud, she was more than willing. Many people present shifted their gazes towards Yun Ya after hearing that. Was this beautiful girl really mentally ill? Yun Ya smiled faintly, showing no embarrassment or annoyance at being accused, and looked towards Kang Jinse with sincere and clear eyes, "Aunt Kang, I didn’t expect that after ten years, you still refuse to accept me..." Shaking her head, she seemed so dejected that some young men felt a tightness in their chests, longing to smooth away the frown on her brow. Her words carried an underlying message, as Kang Jinse had spoken deliberately just to spite Ji Yunya. Kang Jinse frowned, "Ji Yunya, what nonsense are you spouting?" Yun Ya, however, looked toward the silent Yun Shen, "Dad, although mom’s fate remains unknown to this day, you were a couple once, and I don’t expect you to remain chaste for her. Aunt Kang and Aunt Bai are both very good women. If you want to follow in the footsteps of the love story of E Queen and Ying, it would also make for a good tale...." Many couldn’t help but laugh. The girl’s words sounded pleasant, but they were a veiled criticism of Yun Shen’s heartlessness and flirtatiousness. "But...." the tone of her words shifted, the girl shook her head sorrowfully, "For you, it may be a good tale, and for the public, it might be a beautiful story, but for the two women, it is the greatest injury. Aunt Kang’s decade-long, uncomplaining devotion without seeking status, and Aunt Bai’s hardship of bearing children for you. Perhaps it’s not my place to say these things, but you are my father. Separated for ten years, I’ve missed you every moment, hoping that you’re living a better life. Perhaps I’ve been closer to Aunt Bai, and that’s why Aunt Kang has always disliked me. This is the harm you’ve done to both women...." Yun Ya spoke softly, earnestly, easily resonating with others, making them feel even more empathetic towards her.
