Chapter 209 Punishment, Choose One

"As soon as my father and his family left, I used all my strength to frantically rush back to my residence. I don't know how many times I fell on the way, but I didn't even feel it.

My mind was full of only one thought: go home! Maybe subconsciously I also felt that my mother would abandon me, so I worked so hard.

Sure enough, when I returned to the house, everything was gone. She had taken all her things away. I was unwilling to accept this and frantically searched for her everywhere.

At this time, the streets were full of strangers. They wore the same scary masks and held magical instruments in their hands. They were searching everywhere, including shops, residences and other places where people could hide.

Anyone who dared to resist was killed instantly. Blood was everywhere: the streets, the houses, the old trees… all I could hear were wailing and wailing.

The five-cent men fought back hard. The winners were covered in blood, and the losers were also covered in blood.

I crawled to the ground, surrounded by blood-soaked corpses, some wearing scary masks, and some of my brothers who often gave me nutritious fruits.

All I could see before my eyes were their smiling faces when they were alive. I don’t know why I suddenly thought of my father who always loved to smile... My brain was instantly overwhelmed by fear, and I fainted.

When I woke up, my father and I had been safely transferred to Chaihe Star. Brother Zenan sacrificed himself to protect my father, and Brother Zedong settled us and left with the others.

My father and I hid our identities and started a new life on Chaihe Star, but our relationship could never go back to the way it was.

Brother Zenan was a like-minded friend to my father and a son closer to him than blood. His death was a huge blow to my father.

Although he is still gentle and helpful, no one can really get into his heart anymore. He always stays away from everyone, including me.

After experiencing that horrific massacre, I desperately hoped that my father would still hold me, comfort me, and forgive my mistakes as he did before. But in the end, it was just wishful thinking.

My mother cruelly abandoned me, and my father treated me coldly. I was extremely desperate. My father felt guilty and vowed never to develop talismans again.

He refused Dongze's help and relied on his carving skills to make a living. But how many people nowadays like simple wood carving? How much money can he make?

How could I possibly bear the loss of my princess to a poor girl? I begged my father, and when that didn't work, I argued with him. When he refused to compromise, I begged again... Even when I used my mother to provoke him, he just looked at me coldly.

I finally faced the reality and put away my temper. I want to change the current situation on my own. I want to stay away from them. Since I don’t love them anymore, I will never see them again.

So after I married into the Yun family, I didn't pay much attention to my mother's news, nor did I plan to return to Chaihe Star."

This is a cold-hearted woman.

"Then I honestly learned wood carving from him and sold it online. Then I met you," Bai Feng looked at Yun Zhixin gratefully, "Thank you."

Yun Zhixin was instantly moved and immediately forgot about Bai Feng who was still crazy a moment ago. He probably loved her so much that he didn't even think about how much love played a role in this marriage.

Just because he was confused didn't mean others were confused too. Yun Zhicheng, worthy of being the head of the family, sat perfectly still from beginning to end, without a trace of emotion.

Yun Yunze still had some time to improve himself, so he couldn't help but sneer. Anyone could change the status quo.

Yunting had a complicated expression. She didn't know whether to sympathize with her mother's experience or feel ashamed of her actions.

Yun Yunyang's face looked grim, and he hesitated to speak.

Yunxi's eyes were rolling around, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Don't you love her yet? How much more do you need to love her to be satisfied? To put it bluntly, it's still selfishness, extremely selfish.

After all this talk, has she ever said she regretted it? Has she ever apologized for the mistakes she made? It's always been someone else's fault. How shameless!

Yun Xiang was so angry that she simply hung up the phone. As for how the Yun family dealt with Bai Feng, that was their business, and she would not get involved.

Yun Yunze took out the communicator, took a look, and sighed inwardly.

The course of events was clear, and who was right and who was wrong was also very clear. Yun Zhicheng made a decision and stood up and said, "Zhixin, go to your study."

Bai Feng subconsciously grasped Yun Zhixin's hand, looking at him pitifully. Yun Ting glanced away, her face sulking and showing weakness unbecoming of a mother her age and completely inconsistent with her personality.

But there are always people who fall for this, right? Yun Zhixin patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

"Aze is coming too!"

Yun Yunze stood up and followed.

Yun Yunze is the future head of the family. Yun Zhixin didn't feel anything wrong about him following him, except for feeling a little awkward as an elder.

As soon as Yun Zhixin arrived at the study, before Yun Zhicheng could speak, he hurriedly pleaded, "Brother, that's all in the past."

Yun Zhicheng paused and looked at Yun Zhixin seriously, "Does she know she's wrong?"

Yun Zhixin was silent for a moment, then defended himself, "She knew it in her heart. Besides, she was young at the time, and her mind was not mature yet. It was her mother who led her—"

Under Yun Zhicheng's increasingly sharp gaze, Yun Zhixin obediently shut his mouth.

Yun Zhicheng clearly had no intention of letting him go. "Zhixin, we can ignore other people's affairs, but we must not confuse right and wrong! Bian Qin was wrong, but Bai Feng is definitely not innocent!"

Yun Zhixin blushed suddenly and looked at Yun Yunze subconsciously. He found that Yun Yunze had his eyes lowered, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't look at him at all. He felt better.

Yun Zhixin has long been accustomed to self-comfort and self-confusion, avoiding problems in this way and never wanting to face them.

If you think about it carefully, he and Bai Feng are actually the same type of people.

Yun Zhicheng just stared at him. How could the young man who had once followed him, shouting every day that he wanted to carry on the family's glory, become like this today? Unable to distinguish right from wrong, cowardly, weak, timid, even a bit of a scoundrel...

Yun Zhicheng was puzzled. Was it just his nature or was he influenced by others?

Yun Zhixin became restless as he was stared at, looking like he wanted to ask something but didn't dare.

Yun Zhicheng completely lost his patience. "You have two choices. One is to separate your branch, and the other is to divorce Bai Feng."

Yun Zhixin's eyes widened instantly and he shouted, "Brother!"

He really didn't expect that his elder brother would be so decisive. These two choices undoubtedly pushed him into a dead end. He couldn't leave his family, and he couldn't leave Ah Feng either!

"I'll wait for your news. Give me the answer tomorrow." Yun Zhicheng stood up and prepared to leave.

Seeing Yun Zhicheng's resolute attitude, Yun Zhixin immediately pleaded, "Brother, can't you be flexible? Ah Feng really knows she's wrong."

"True knowledge?" Yun Zhicheng looked at him sarcastically, "Then why has she been interfering in family affairs so often in recent years?"

Seeing Yun Zhixin about to argue, Yun Zhicheng shut him up with his own words, "Don't say she's thinking about the family. She's just not satisfied with being the second wife. She has the name and the money, and the next thing is power."

Yun Zhixin looked embarrassed. "Brother, why do you have to say such harsh words? Ah Feng doesn't mean that."

"It's best if she doesn't have it, but it doesn't matter if she does. Don't count on her from the Yun family. Now that she's separated from the Yun family, she can do whatever she wants, and the Yun family will never interfere."
