Chapter 368 - 156: Guaranteed Treatment, Not Guaranteed Cure

Seeing this scene, Lady Yun couldn’t help but shake her head and sigh. If the little girl keeps crying like this, Yun Chuchu’s condition might become even more serious.

Also, she once thought Yun Chuchu could hear Ningning’s heartfelt calls, but now it seems Yun Chuchu can’t hear them at all. She had guessed wrong.

Otherwise, Yun Chuchu wouldn’t be so calm when facing the little girl.

No, once this matter is investigated clearly, she must find a way to tell Yun Chuchu the truth.

She cannot just watch Yun Chuchu raising someone else’s daughter and end up with no benefits at all.

"Stop crying, or I’ll smack you."

Suddenly, Yun Zheng strode over, staring sternly at the little girl with a dark expression.

If this was indeed Yun Chuchu’s daughter, then despite not liking her, he could still muster some patience and tolerance.

But since she was a fake, then I’m sorry, he couldn’t tolerate her even a little.

No wonder at first glance he felt this little girl didn’t resemble Yun Chuchu at all; turns out, she wasn’t Yun Chuchu’s child to begin with.

The crying stopped abruptly, the little girl was so scared she trembled all over, tears hanging at the corners of her eyes, looking at him full of fear, like a frightened rabbit.

The room instantly became quiet.

Yun Chuchu looked at Yun Zheng with red-rimmed eyes, instinctively pulling the little girl to her side to protect her.

"Big Brother, you..."

"What, you think I’m too harsh to her?"

Yun Zheng squinted his eyes, not looking particularly fierce, but for some reason, it was intimidating, even Yun Chuchu was startled.

Her lips trembled slightly, and she couldn’t help but start overthinking.

All these years, has Big Brother not forgiven her yet?

Is he still blaming her for not listening to him back then, insisting on marrying far away, which is why he even dislikes Rong’er?

"Oh dear, you’ve scared them."

Lady Yun quickly walked over, nudged Yun Zheng, and sat beside Yun Chuchu to comfort her.

"Chuchu, don’t overthink. Your Big Brother doesn’t dislike Rong’er, it’s just that you need to rest quietly now. Rong’er is making a fuss, and your Big Brother is worried she might disturb your recovery."

"He’s been in the military for so long, so inevitably, he speaks louder and more directly. It’s indeed a bad habit. I’ll have him change it, don’t overthink it."

Yun Chuchu nodded; she knew her Big Brother cared for her.

But as for whether her Big Brother likes Rong’er, she wasn’t sure. After all, Rong’er is Shang Yu’s daughter, and her Big Brother really, really dislikes Shang Yu.

In these years of marriage far away, she had regretted countless times, regretting why she didn’t listen to her Big Brother and insisted on leaving home for a man, away from family.

But what use is regret?

There’s no medicine for regret in this world. The path she chose, she has to walk it even if she has to crawl.

"Big Brother, all these years, I’ve missed you."

Thinking of those times before marriage, Yun Chuchu’s nose tingled, and she couldn’t help but cry.

They say the elder brother is like a father. Her parents left when she was just a few years old. It was her brother and sister-in-law who raised her and Ah Zhan; he truly fulfilled the duties of both a father and brother.

She was the one who let her Big Brother down.

"Heh, if you missed me so much, then why haven’t you returned all these years?"

Yun Zheng sneered coldly, feeling both heartache for her and some resentment at her stubbornness.

Seeing her current condition, he knew she hadn’t been doing well all these years, yet she never mentioned it in her letters. She didn’t seek him out for help, nor did she come back.

She clearly knew that if she had just said once that she wasn’t doing well, he and Seventh would have turned the Shang Family upside down to bring her back, but she didn’t.

He fought for power with his life to protect his family from harm, but she wouldn’t let him protect her. Did she ever truly consider him her Big Brother?

"It’s my fault, all my fault..."

Yun Chuchu bit her lip and cried softly, while Lady Yun quickly held her in her arms to comfort her.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. It’s good that you’re back. Your Big Brother is just stubborn, he’s actually been thinking about you all these years, always waiting for you to mention coming back in your letters."

"You don’t even know, every time he received a letter from you, he was both happy and disappointed at the same time..."
