"Mom, do you know how terrifying you are?" Yun Shu gave a nonchalant smile, "After all is said and done, you still can’t forget Ji Lanyi." Upon hearing that name, Yun Shen’s pupils suddenly constricted. Watching his reaction, Yun Shu’s thin lips curled into a mocking curve, "In your current state, are you still worthy of loving her? You’ve been having a great time with both Kang Family sisters, so don’t stain sacred love with your filthy body." Yun Shen looked at her in disbelief, "You...." "No matter how well Ah Xian plays her act, she can’t fool my eyes. I’m warning you, it’s fine to have your fun, but don’t get yourself entangled. I will have Ah Xian married into the He Family. My Yun Family cannot afford any more scandals. As for Jinse, once she has the child, I’ll give her a proper status, but before that, solve the problem with that whore Bai Ran first." Yun Shen suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, disbelievingly observing the woman in front of him—dignified, graceful, peerless in beauty. She seemed untouched by the traces of time, identical to the mother in his memory, except she had become even more ruthless and venomous... He had always thought his mother felt differently about Kang Jinse, giving her the best life and the identity of Yun Family’s adopted daughter. He believed that his mother had feelings for her. But now it seemed that Kang Jinse was nothing more than a canary raised by his mother’s hand, to be played with when she’s pleased. But one day, this canary dared to think of escaping her grasp, or did not turn out as she had hoped, prompting her to cast it aside without mercy. Head hanging down in defeat, "Okay...." Yun Shu sighed, patting his shoulder with a grave tone, "Shenshen, in time you will understand that Mom is doing this for your own good." Upon hearing these words again, Yun Shen felt nauseous, his hands clenched into fists. He didn’t say anything and turned to leave the study. Yun Shu stood in place, her gaze coldly following Yun Shen’s retreating figure, nonchalantly touching the hair at her temples, her lips curling into a light smile. I can give you all of this, and I can equally destroy it. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn Novᴇl_Fire(.)net So, do not harbor any delusions of escaping my control. Back in her room, Kang Jinxian, furious, swept all the cosmetics off the dressing table onto the floor. How could her sister possibly be pregnant, and at such a time? Taking a deep breath, she calmed down. Yun Shen doesn’t child, so her sister won’t be able to give birth. Even if she is pregnant, what of it? To watch the child be destroyed by the man she loves most—wouldn’t that be even more painful? Carefully shaping her eyebrows and looking at the delicate, finely arched brows of the girl in the mirror, with her fair and tender skin. Though not a stunning beauty, she was a delightful charm incarnate. Her lips slowly curved into a smile as those clear eyes brewed a storm of madness and malice. Kang Jinse was sobbing on the bed when Kang Jinxian’s voice came from outside the door. Wiping away tears, "Come in." The girl in the white gauzy dress walked in, indeed like a delicate willow in the wind, with an ethereal beauty enhanced by the dim light of the lampshade. Kang Jinse’s pupils suddenly tightened. Unconsciously, this unremarkable younger sister seemed to become more and more beautiful. She suddenly remembered what Ji Yunya had once said, it was someone by Yun Shen’s side... She thought it was Yan Yuzhen, but now... "Sister, don’t be sad. Brother Shen is a filial son; he won’t go against Mom’s wishes, so rest assured. What’s crucial now is to take good care of the baby, and next year you’ll bear a plump little son for the Yun Family." Kang Jinxian murmured consolingly, wiping away Kang Jinse’s tears with a tissue. "You told me that a girl should not cry. If we don’t love ourselves, who else will love us? So, sister, for your own sake and for the child’s, you have to be strong too." The gentle and concerned voice of the young girl gradually smoothed over the doubts in Kang Jinse’s heart. How could it be Ah Xian? She was so kind and pure; she would never do such a thing behind her back. Ashamed of having suspected Ah Xian, she felt remorse. Ah Xian was her only relative in the world; she couldn’t afford to lose her. Burying herself in her arms, Kang Jinse sobbed sorrowfully. "I thought that after so many years of companionship and effort, I had a place in his heart. But it turns out, he still cannot forget that woman...." Kang Jinxian narrowed her eyes, asking indifferently, "Who?" But Kang Jinse refused to say more. Drying her tears, "Brother Shen will be back soon; I need to touch up my makeup." With that, she got up and headed for the bathroom.
