Yun Ya looked at Yun Shu, who sat at the head seat sipping tea with a composed expression, and smiled, "Did grandma receive the invitation? Aunt Bai is hosting a banquet at the Bai Family tonight; by all rights, we should have received an invitation." "I did," Yun Shu said indifferently. Yun Ya raised his eyebrows, "Oh? So will grandma be attending? After all, you’ve been acquainted for ten years. To show the Yun Family’s magnanimity to the outside world, it would be better for grandma to attend." Yun Shu’s lips curled into a cold smile, "Is that so? Then how about you go on grandma’s behalf?" Yun Ya smiled, "I’d be delighted." Speaking of Bai Ran, He An said, "When Jinxian and I were leaving the restaurant, we saw Miss Bai appearing quite intimate with a man. Fortunately, we were the ones who came across them, if it were the media, who knows what unpleasant stories they would concoct." Yun Ya smiled, it seemed Bai Ran was with Professor Ning. Yun Shu’s expression remained unchanged, she stated coolly, "Bai Ran has nothing to do with the Yun Family anymore." Kang Jinxian was stunned, what did that mean? He An took Kang Jinxian’s hand and said to Yun Shu, "I’d like to take Jinse to the banquet tonight, I hope Madam would agree." "Of course, I agree," she said with a smile to Kang Jinxian, "Go get some beauty treatments this afternoon, I’ll have Luo Lin send over several gowns, pick one, we must not disgrace the Yun Family." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novｅlfire.net "Jinxian is my fiancée, all of this naturally falls on me," he said. Yun Shu nodded in satisfaction and told Kang Jinxian, "Young Master He is caring, you should cherish it." Kang Jinxian bowed her head obediently, "I understand." He An felt that Jinxian seemed very restrained at the Yun Family, nothing like her lively self when with him. He thought Yun Shu and Yun Ya must often bully her, otherwise, she wouldn’t behave this way. Yun Ya watched their subtle interactions and curled his lips in a cold smile. To be able to emerge from the shadows so quickly and flirt with He An as if nothing had happened, Kang Jinxian, this innocent little white lotus, he had perhaps underestimated her. Just then, Kang Jinse, who had woken up, walked out of the bedroom. Seeing Kang Jinxian and He An, she instinctively paused before greeting them with a smile. He An couldn’t help but notice that Kang Jinse seemed different from his previous impression of her. The current Kang Jinse had put on weight, making her face plump and rosy. The moniker ’National Fairy’ didn’t fit her anymore. She resembled an ordinary housewife, her aura much dimmer. It’s said that weight gain ruins everything, and that saying was indeed apt. Kang Jinse walked over, touching her abdomen, "Young Master He, thank you for taking such good care of our Ah Xian." Though this woman’s reputation wasn’t great, she was, after all, Jinxian’s biological sister. He smiled and waved it off, "This is what I should do." His gaze fell on her stomach—her demeanor greatly resembled that of a pregnant woman. As if she wanted to make sure no one missed the fact she was pregnant, Kang Jinse even intentionally patted her stomach. He An’s eyes narrowed, Kang Jinse was actually pregnant. It was evident whose child she was carrying. The Yun Family was really... a complete mess. The legitimate wife was keeping a young lover on the side, while the mistress proudly resided in the house, her belly slowly growing. Looking at Yun Shu again, it was clear she had become accustomed to it. The Yun Family’s household was indeed in disarray; Jinxian must have suffered a lot in such a family. In the afternoon, He An was to take Jinxian to try on dresses and go for beauty treatments, so after a short sit-down, they left. As they walked out of the Yun Household, He An couldn’t help asking, "Is your sister pregnant?" Kang Jinxian instinctively furrowed her brow and sighed lightly, "My sister has struggled for so many years, she’s finally getting what she deserves." Turning to look at He An, she said, "Everyone outside calls my sister the other woman, but who understands her pain? My sister met brother a long time ago, before he even knew Miss Ji. Back then, my sister was with brother. Later, because mom didn’t like my sister, she forced them to break up, and brother ended up marrying Miss Ji, becoming the Ji Family’s son-in-law. However, Miss Ji and brother were incompatible, and their marriage was in name only. Later, brother rekindled his relationship with my sister. By then, brother had already secretly agreed to divorce Miss Ji. The outside world didn’t understand and labeled my sister as the other woman. Then, Miss Bai from the Bai Family set her sights on brother, drugged him in his wine, and spent the night with him. Later, she used the child to threaten brother into marrying her, but brother never loved her. He loved my sister... And so, my sister stayed by brother’s side without a title, even enduring harsh criticism and slander from the outside. I really feel sorry for my sister, and now, after all the hardship, she’s finally found some happiness..."
