Chapter 30

Chapter Thirty: Scam

The garden was most lively when he walked out. The guests had formed their own small groups and were chatting happily, and the garden scenery was beautiful with blooming flowers. Shi Nian thought that his grandfather would enjoy staying over for a few days when he returned.

However, on second thought, he probably didn’t need to stay over to improve his mood. His grandfather would already be in a good mood when he returned and saw Yun Nan.

“Mr. Shi! Mr. Shi, please help us.” Shi Nian had just sat down in his car when someone pulled on his car door. Shi Nian was furious; he had failed to notice someone approaching him in his moment of distraction. He was really too careless.

He pushed the intruder away and slammed the door shut. He gritted his teeth and tried to calm down his rapidly beating heart.

That person didn’t give up and beat at his car window.

This was the Mo family’s public parking lot, so Shi Nian had no choice but to lower the window.

His cold gaze made Miss Ding—the person standing outside the car—shiver involuntarily. “Mr. Shi, please help us. Yun Liu suddenly fainted. Can you please give us a ride to the hospital?”

“Can’t you call an ambulance?” Shi Nian asked coldly.

Miss Ding hurriedly said, “That’ll be too late. Mr. Shi, please, just give us a ride in your car. Human lives are at stake! Mr. Shi!”

Shi Nian stared at Miss Ding as if he wished to pierce through her with his gaze. “If that’s the case, how is it that you still have the time to lie in wait and intercept my car? You can stop this charade!”

Shi Nian stepped on the accelerator, and the car took off like a shot.

Miss Ding was terrified. “Ah!” she cried out and squatted on the ground.

Yun Liu—hiding close by—was dumbfounded. She went forward and pulled Miss Ding to her feet.

Miss Ding looked at the exit with trepidation. Seeing no sign of Shi Nian’s car, she nervously commented, “Young Master Shi’s temper truly lives up to its reputation!”

“How did you come up with this rotten idea anyway?” Yun Liu said hatefully. “He saw through it right away! What should we do now? You have to think of a way to put a positive spin on what happened today! I can’t lose face over this!”

Miss Ding didn’t attend the garden party, so she didn’t know what happened inside. She could only try her best to reassure Yun Liu, “We can discuss this later. We should go back now while there’s no one around. Don’t be anxious; there’s always a way. Didn’t you say that Old Master Shi will be back soon? We still have a chance!”

Miss Ding checked that no one was around before she quickly pulled Yun Liu into the car.

Yun Liu had sent Yun Zhang away because she wanted to stay behind and get a chance to be alone with Shi Nian.

After all, Shi Nian didn’t reveal who his wife was to the public today. She could make insinuations and mislead the public into thinking she was Shi Nian’s wife. They didn’t go public with their marriage because of her career!

As long as she spreads this news, Shi Nian wouldn’t be able to dispute it. If he told the public that Yun Nan was his wife, Yun Liu could put on a show of grievance and say that her sister had snatched her fiancé.

Of course, she didn’t want things to develop to that extent.

She was sure that Shi Nian and Yun Nan had no feelings for each other because she understood Shi Nian and Yun Nan. Both of them were people who could give up anything for their careers, so perhaps their marriage was a collaboration.

Then she would have a chance to end their collaboration and take the opportunity to ruin Yun Nan’s reputation!

Therefore, the best way was to use public opinion to force Shi Nian to give in. The thing Yun Liu regretted the most now was that she had been too kind to Shi Nian a few years ago and had been too soft on him. If she had used forceful methods earlier, the two of them might have already been married by now, and that wretched girl, Yun Nan, wouldn’t have had the chance to be so arrogant! ‘

It’s all my fault for being so weak

,’ she thought.

However, she had never thought that her ruse today wouldn’t work. ‘

Shi Nian didn’t take the bait. What was going on?

‘ she wondered.

Since Yun Nan returned, things hadn’t gone well for Yun Liu in the past two years. Yun Nan was practically her nemesis! She wouldn’t feel relieved unless she got rid of this thorn in her side.

“Take me home first.” Yun Liu said coldly to Miss Ding.

Miss Ding knew she had been no help today, so she carefully kept silent.

…

As soon as Yun Zhang returned home, he questioned Gu Wei, “Mom, why did you give Yun Liu’s invitation to Yun Nan?”

“What invitation?” Gu Wei was startled. “What do you mean I gave it to Yun Nan? When did I ever give Yun Liu’s things to Yun Nan?”

Yun Zhang had to explain that it was an invitation to Mr. Mo’s garden party, and he also told her what happened at Mr’s Mo’s house.

Gu Wei was bewildered when she heard this. Although she didn’t understand the reason, she did learn that Yun Liu had been wronged, and it was because of Yun Nan.

She couldn’t help but chide, “Why is Yun Nan so immature? Why is she bullying her sister again? Where is Yun Liu? Why didn’t she come back with you? Why didn’t you comfort her when she was hurt? Is she crying alone outside again?”

At her words, a thought suddenly flashed across Yun Zhang’s mind. ‘

Why do we always jump to Yun Liu’s defense?
