At the Yan Family residence, Zhuang Xiyue personally cooked for tonight’s gathering, spending the entire afternoon immersed in the kitchen. "Has the verdict for Bai Xiangxiang’s second trial come out today?" Zhuang Xiyue suddenly asked. Just as Aunt Lin was about to speak, Yan Ke walked over and said, "They added another five years on top of the original sentence, that’s what you get for framing Sister Yun Ya. What rubbish, a murderer dares to pick on Sister Yun Ya, I think even the judge’s sentence is too light. Weren’t there rumors that Bai Xiangxiang’s aunt pulled some strings? Probably that’s why she got such a light sentence for murder, which is unfair. I want to expose this injustice online." The more Yan Ke thought about it, the more indignant he became. Zhuang Xiyue raised an eyebrow, "Another five years? This can be considered as getting what she deserved, but this Bai Family..." she shook her head. To raise a murderer, one can only imagine what kind of upbringing that entails. However, what displeased her was that Yun Ya had been dragged into this mess, which led to baseless suspicions against her. Even though most people stood with Yun Ya, blaming Bai Xiangxiang, the damage to Yun Ya’s reputation was immeasurable and not something that money could repair. Yan Ke took out his phone, leaned against the kitchen door, and started to manipulate online sentiments using multiple sockpuppet accounts. He specifically pointed out that Bai Xiangxiang’s case was unjust and implied she had backing. Since the case had garnered attention after involving Ji Yunya, fans and onlookers already disliked her. Now that someone was directing the narrative, in their outrage, they were naturally led by the nose, and an array of accusations and curses flooded the internet. Some questioned the law, others the judge, but in essence, Bai Xiangxiang’s fifteen-year sentence was seen as the result of insider dealings... Watching the heated online debate, Yan Ke’s lips curled into a smug grin. Thinking of something, he asked Zhuang Xiyue, "Mom, when is my brother coming back?" Zhuang Xiyue was frying shrimp, fully embodying the role of a doting wife and mother. Without looking up, she replied, "I don’t know either, your Uncle Yan wouldn’t tell me." Yan Ke pursed his lips. His brother had been gone for almost a month now. He really had patience. Wasn’t he afraid that Sister Yun Ya would be swept away by someone else? "He said it would be just one week at the beginning, but he’s gone without a word now, completely unreliable." Follow current novels on novel fire.net Zhuang Xiyue laughed, "You think your brother is like you? He is someone who’s destined for great things. The hardships he’s enduring now will pave the way for future blessings." "All I know is his wife will run off if he doesn’t come back soon," Yan Ke muttered. "What did you say?" The sizzling sound of the shrimp in the hot pan made it hard for Zhuang Xiyue to hear Yan Ke’s words. Yun Ya entered the Yan residence carrying a basket of fruit in one hand and health products in the other. "You’re here, why did you bring things?" Zhuang Xiyue chided affectionately, taking the items from Yun Ya and handing them to Aunt Lin. "Why didn’t you bring Miaomiao with you? I haven’t seen him since he grew up," Zhuang Xiyue said, pulling Yun Ya to sit on the couch. Yun Ya smiled with pursed lips, "I left in a hurry today, maybe some other time." Zhuang Xiyue sighed and gently patted the back of Yun Ya’s hand, "Once Uncle Yan finishes his final duties, our family will move back to the Capital City. After that, seeing you will be difficult." Yun Ya silently lowered her head. "During the typhoon incident, we truly owe you. Without you, Uncle Yan would have been in trouble. He has praised you more than once, you are such a careful person." Thanks to Yun Ya’s timely actions, hundreds of lives were saved. Otherwise, Yan Nanmo’s return to the Capital would have been hindered, not to mention a major accident could have ensued, leaving the mayor culpable. It wouldn’t have been so easy for them to return to the Capital City. Both Zhuang Xiyue and Yan Nanmo shuddered at the thought of what might have happened without Yun Ya’s prompt warning to evacuate the residents before the disaster struck. And because of this, their gratitude towards Yun Ya grew even more. "It was just a small effort on my part, it’s Uncle Yan who cares for the people; all the credit goes to him." Yun Ya remained humble, not taking any pride in her actions, which naturally pleased Zhuang Xiyue even more. "To have a daughter-in-law like you is truly a blessing for the Yan Family, a blessing for our Gege," Zhuang Xiyue exclaimed. Yun Ya felt a bit proud at Zhuang Xiyue’s first statement, but her face gradually darkened as she heard the last part. She bowed her head, trying to hide her momentary lapse of composure. Zhuang Xiyue didn’t notice Yun Ya’s troubled expression, continuing to speak her mind. "I’ve already thought it all through. In a couple of years, when you and Gege turn eighteen, we’ll bring you over to the Capital City first, have an engagement ceremony, and once you’re of legal age, you can get married. What do you think?"
