She turned and walked away.
Madam Lan knew that it was not convenient for her to stay here. She said softly, “Then I’ll leave first.”
When all the outsiders had left, there was an empty silence in the house.
Yue Yu stood rooted to the ground, momentarily at a loss.
Today’s matter was originally arranged by her to frame Shi Jin and sow discord between Shi Jin and Madam Yue… Then, the direction of the matter suddenly became uncontrollable.!!
She clenched her fists tightly, her heart filled with regret and hatred.
She regretted making this arrangement. However, she already knew in her heart that so many people knew about her background. Even if she wanted to hide it, it might not be useful.
“You should go back to your room and rest too,” Madam Yue said softly.
Yue Yu thought for a moment before leaving. “Then… take care of yourselves.”
After she went upstairs, Madam Yue sat back down on the sofa weakly.
“Jingxiu.” Yue Feng sat beside her, holding her shoulders. “It’s all right. It’s all in the past.”
But for a mother, how could this be okay and go away?
A mother and daughter pair had been separated for more than twenty years, and for such an absurdly simple reason.
She wept quietly, digging her nails into the sofa, letting the emotion push her away from reason.

Li manor.
Shi Jin sat on the sofa while Gu Qingqing brought her a bowl of ginger tea.
“Drink some while it’s hot. This is specially made by you. It tastes good.” Gu Qingqing smiled and stuffed the bowl into her hand.
“Thank you, Mom.” Shi Jin’s voice cracked as she quickly picked up the bowl and drank the soup.
This was the first time Gu Qingqing had seen her reveal such a fragile expression.
She looked up and saw Fu Xiuyuan coming. She immediately got up and gave him her seat.
Fu Xiuyuan saw Shi Jin sitting on the sofa, curled into a small ball.
She had always been very powerful and independent. She would not avoid anything, but at this moment, she was like an injured little beast.
“Shi Jin,” he whispered her name.
Shi Jin looked up at him. There was a smile on her lips, but tears slid down her cheeks.
His heart aching for her, he wrapped his long arms around her and held her close.
Today’s incident was so sudden that Shi Jin was not prepared for it.
Being hugged by Fu Xiuyuan, she felt grounded and safe.
She tightened her arms around him, as if afraid he might disappear.

Gu Jingyuan rushed home and did not see Shi Jin. He asked anxiously, “Where’s Shi Jin?”
“She’s asleep,” Gu Qingqing said softly. “She’s tired. Let her sleep for a while.”
Fu Xiuyuan closed the door and took the stairs.
Gu Jingyuan looked up and asked, “Is Shi Jin alright?”
“It’s okay.”
Gu Jingyuan sighed. “What happened?”
“That’s all there is to it.” Old Master Li put down the newspaper he was reading. “You got most of the answers over the phone. I wanted to find the right time to talk about this, in case it hurt her too much, but who knew she’d find out about it herself?”
Old Master Li looked at Fu Xiuyuan. “Young people nowadays are so powerful. They’re crushing us old people on the beach.”
Gu Qingqing said softly, “But this way, even if Shi Jin returns to the Yue family, it will be difficult for her to get along with them at home in the future.”
“This is why I originally didn’t intend to say these things… However, if I don’t say it, I’m afraid that Shi Jin will suffer even more secretly. Old Madam Yue isn’t friendly to her to begin with.” Old Master Li sighed.
“Grandpa, what are you talking about? Shi Jin is with Xiuyuan now and doesn’t live in the Yue family often. Why should she be afraid of them?” Gu Jingyuan said calmly, “Besides, even if Shi Jin is from the Yue family, she will always be my sister.”
When he said that, everyone relaxed a lot.

Shi Jin did not go to the Yue residence again. Instead, she used all of her time to prepare for the concert in the new city.
Some small things were originally not her responsibility, but she did them herself anyway.
The concert needed a stage, so she went to the venue to guard it.
Fu Xiuyuan stood to the side and watched her as her busy figure shuttled through various items.
Gu Jingyuan patted his shoulder. “It’s a good thing that she’s busy. She doesn’t have to think too much about how to get along with everyone. Let’s go out for a drink.”
Seeing that Fu Xiuyuan was still a little reluctant, Gu Jingyuan forcefully took him away.
A furtive figure appeared near the scene, peering in.
“You, what do want?” someone asked, pointing.
Yue Lanchen stuck his head out. “I’m Shi Jin’s friend and her brother.”
Someone recognized him. “I remember you. You’re what’s-his-name. My brother always watches you play. What team are you on?”
“Team Danger, Killer.”
“It’s you. Why are you looking for Shi Jin?”
“I’ll… take this to her for me.” He was carrying a large lunch box full of dishes he’d cooked himself.
He always cooked when he was annoyed. He made a whole lot of them.
“Okay, sure. I’ll take it to her.”
“Thank you.” Yue Lanchen turned and left.
Shi Jin was instructing someone to carry the piano when a staff member ran over and said, “Shi Jin, a person called Killer gave you this.”
He was carrying an oversized lunch box.
“Where is he?” Shi Jin asked.
“He left the things and left.”
Shi Jin took the lunch box.
Yue Lanchen’s footsteps were a little heavy as he walked out. He had taken the day off to come over. There was still a lot of time left after the flight, but he didn’t know what to do at the moment.
He was still walking when he heard a familiar voice behind him. “Yue Lanchen!”
He immediately turned back to see Shi Jin watching him with a smile.
All the worries and conflict in Yue Lanchen’s heart disappeared. He turned around and ran towards Shi Jin. “Sis!”
“Where are you going? Are you busy?” Shi Jin asked with a smile.
“Not so busy anymore… find a place to sit while you try my cooking. I learned a few new dishes.”
The two of them sat down in the lounge at the side. Shi Jin opened the lunch box. “Not bad. Eight dishes. You can be a state chef. You made eight. Are you that conflicted?”
Yue Lanchen scratched the back of his head. “I was afraid you… wouldn’t acknowledge me.”
“Why would I not acknowledge you?”
Yue Lanchen thought of Old Madam Yue and his expression darkened slightly. “I only know that she has always been serious and has many conflicts with my mother. In the past, I thought that it was inevitable for family members to have conflicts. I didn’t expect her to do such a thing.”
“She’s her. You’re you.” Shi Jin pulled out her chopsticks and handed a pair to Yue Lanchen. “Here.”
Yue Lanchen grabbed his chopsticks and hesitated. “What about Mom and Dad?”
