One of the women spoke in an especially curt manner, as though she were the one in Li Qin’s position. She was fuming red. Feeling indignant for her, the woman said, “If it were me, I would definitely be pissed off with an unfilial daughter like you!”

“Exactly! People say that daughters are the sweetest; they’re their mommy’s little blanket, but a daughter as heartless as you – you’re the first I’ve seen!”

Yun Shishi clenched her lips and held herself back. Tears pooled in her eyes, but she tried to stop them from flowing out. Suddenly, she looked up and asked, “Said enough?”

Her volume was not loud, yet it brimmed with energy and exuded chilling vibes. The ward instantly descended into silence.

Everyone glared at her either in rage or astonishment. They understood nothing and simply thought that she was beyond redemption!

However, she took in a breath of cold air and stated to the mass, “Who are you people to criticize me?”

“Hey, little girl! You’re being quite vicious with your words, eh!”

Unwilling to back down, she countered, “Did I mock you or glare at you? From the beginning, aren’t you people the ones accusing me?”

Everyone was made speechless by her words.

She continued, “Do you really know me – how I’ve suffered for more than 20 years?

“Do you know of my predicament? Do you know of my pain? You people know nothing, but you act as if you understand me very well. These are matters pertaining to my family. Is it your turn to butt in?”

“We didn’t really say anything out of turn! We just think that a girl like you should be behaving properly, and not be riding on some rich businessmen’s coattails!”

“Exactly. Shameless. Invading other people’s families and not living a morally upright life, someone like you is precisely a failure in society!”

Li Qin incited the crowd even more while pretending to be contrite, “You guys, stop. I’m disgraced already! Ha, after all, one won’t be close to an adopted daughter compared to a biological one. This can’t be helped!”

“Being filial is one thing, being principled is another. Such a young girl like her chose to be a mistress out of everything else…”

Yun Shishi stood alone in the center of their discussion, appearing to be a little lonely.

Amid everyone’s condemnation of her in the name of justice, the elegant voice of a man interrupted.

“Mistress?”

Everyone turned their heads at that, only to see a well-built, adult man leaning against the door with an expressionless face. A faint disappointment was written all over his god-like, handsome face.

As soon as she noticed him, she intuitively hung her head low in shame.

Yun Na opened her eyes as well. In fact, she was long awake and was just pretending to be asleep.

While she was brooding, the injuries on her face got irritated, making them swell and hurt, yet this Yun Shishi was still unwilling to take money out from her pocket to treat her face, and the shame further angered her.

Thus, when she heard the ignorant crowd siding with her mother in taunting her adopted sister, she felt good inside.

The man’s flat voice caused her to wake up in shock.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the man at the door.

Mu Yazhe?! Why was the CEO of Mu Group here?!

When Li Qin saw him, she completely froze, as if she had been struck by lightning.

Yun Na failed to recognize him. She did not know who he was, but with her keen eyes, she noticed that his features were identical to those of Yun Tianyou’s.

Actually, they were far from just ‘identical’. Those eyes, that high nose bridge, and even those thin, beautiful lips – they were exactly the same as Youyou’s!

How would she believe it if one were to tell her that this man was not related to that little b*stard at all?
