During the meal, Yun's father kept enthusiastically serving food to Lu Dongjue, but Li Xiaoyun's face lacked its usual enthusiasm.

After a quick meal, Lu Dongjue left early, citing company business.

Yun Suiwan politely saw him to the door.

Lu Dongjue looked at her, his face expressionless.

He said, "The year is drawing to a close."

Call her by her full name.

Yun Suiwan looked at him with an outwardly indifferent expression.

“Now that your wish has been fulfilled, be kinder to Wanqing. She is a pitiful person, and you don’t need to keep targeting her.”

Is he reminding himself of something?

What is her wish? Is it just to be Mrs. Lu? Yun Suiwan isn't at the point where she can't get married.

Yun Suiwan tilted her head, a smile playing on her pretty face, and said innocently, "What if I keep targeting her?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Dongjue frowned.

"As the year draws to a close, don't make yourself unhappy."

"Oh? Threatening me? Heh, Lu Dongjue, you'd better watch your attitude. If you piss me off, Yun Wanqing won't have a good time."

"You dare!"

Yun Suiwan chuckled softly, then leaned closer to Lu Dongjue and whispered, "I'm Grandpa Lu's favorite granddaughter-in-law. Guess if I dare to say that?"

Lu Dongjue's eyes were cold. Yun Suiwan was indeed good at pretending. Now that she had firmly secured her position as Mrs. Lu, she was too lazy to pretend anymore.

It's infuriating that this woman got her way.

“Dongjue, Wanwan.” It was Yun’s father’s voice.

Upon hearing this, Yun Suiwan quickly stepped forward and took Lu Dongjue's arm, asking softly, "Dad, is there anything else?"

"Oh, it's nothing. Your mother just wants you to come over."

Yun Suiwan's heart sank. Lu Dongjue hadn't even left yet, and her mother was already eager to teach her a lesson.

"Dad, I'll talk to Dongjue for a couple more minutes, then I'll go."

"Okay, okay, Dongjue, drive carefully on the road."

Lu Dongjue nodded.

After Yun's father left, Yun Suiwan abruptly released his arm.

"You're really good at pretending." Lu Dongjue mocked her coldly.

"Likewise, compared to your feigned deep affection, mine is far inferior."

"What did you say?" Lu Dongjue didn't understand what she meant.

Yun Suiwan gave him a disgruntled look and said, "Goodbye."

After saying that, Yun Suiwan turned around and went home.

Lu Dongjue watched her retreating figure, his anger rising.

This woman, in just two short days, has become so spoiled that she no longer recognizes herself.

She used to never raise her voice to me, but now she's constantly at odds with me.

That damn woman!

Lu Dongjue snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve, got into the car, and then the angry roar of the engine could be heard.

Damn it, she's so annoying!

**

Yun Suiwan arrived at Li Xiaoyun's door and knocked.

"Enter."

As soon as Yun Suiwan entered, she saw Yun Wanqing nestled in Li Xiaoyun's arms, crying.

Seeing Yun Wanqing's demeanor, Yun Suiwan knew what she was going to say next.

Li Xiaoyun gently patted Yun Wanqing's shoulder, "Qingqing, be good, you go out first, Mom will help you make a decision."

"mom……"

"Sweetie, go out first."

"Um."

Yun Wanqing wiped away her tears and came to Yun Suiwan. Where Li Xiaoyun couldn't see, she gave Yun Suiwan a smug smile.

After the door closed, the doting look on Li Xiaoyun's face disappeared, replaced by a stern expression.

"What do you want to do?" she snapped at Yun Suiwan.

"I don't understand what Mom means," Yun Suiwan said calmly, standing still.

Li Xiaoyun stood up, coldly staring at Yun Suiwan. "You have parents, and you're the eldest daughter of the Yun family. Qingqing has nothing. Why can't you be more sensible and give in to her? Who do you take after for your vicious personality?"

Li Xiaoyun looked at Yun Suiwan with a disappointed expression.

"I can't believe I gave birth to a daughter like you. You have no compassion for anyone, and no sense of shame whatsoever. You and Lu Dongjue were supposed to be engaged, yet you did such a shameless thing with him at that time. You're willing to risk the Yun family's reputation just to provoke your sister, aren't you?"

In the past, Yun Suiwan always longed for a little bit of maternal love and care.

During a thunderstorm, the power went out at home, and she was afraid of the dark. But her mother held and comforted Yun Wanqing all night, leaving her alone in the house, shivering under the covers until dawn.

Even now, the mother still only has eyes for this adopted daughter.

She never cared about herself, or whether she was hurt while she was with Lu Dongjue.

She wondered if this had happened to Yun Wanqing, would her mother have held her tenderly and gently comforted her, saying, "Baby, don't worry, Mommy's here for you."

Suddenly, Yun Suiwan laughed.

Li Xiaoyun's eyes flashed coldly, "Do you have no shame? How can you still laugh?"

"Mom, when you lost me back then, did you feel even a little bit guilty?" Yun Suiwan asked with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Li Xiaoyun's expression changed drastically. "Are you going to accuse me now? Didn't we find you? Haven't we been feeding and taking good care of you all these years? But what have you done? You've repaid kindness with enmity, and you've been racking your brains to get rid of Qingqing. Qingqing is already so pitiful, why won't you let her go?"

Who's really going to hold whom accountable?

"Mom, if I remember correctly, in Grandma's will, I was the heir of the Yun family, and neither you nor Dad had any share."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyun's expression stiffened, and then she shouted angrily, "You unfilial daughter, what do you want to do? We've raised you for so many years, and you want to drive us away?"

"Mom, calm down. You're my mom, how could I kick you out? But I can kick Yun Wanqing out," Yun Suiwan said calmly.

“You…you…” Li Xiaoyun pointed angrily at Yun Suiwan, “You stole your sister’s boyfriend, you stole Mrs. Lu’s position, and now you still want to bully her! You…you have such a cruel heart.”

"Mom, she stole all the love from my parents in this life."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyun's expression stiffened.

"Mom, I'm only doing this out of respect for you. Please, please don't force me to be an 'unfilial daughter'."

Yun Suiwan's smiling face showed a hint of embarrassment. "Alright, I won't disturb your rest any longer. I'll take my leave now."

After Yun Suiwan left, Li Xiaoyun's legs went weak and she collapsed onto the bed.

She thought that with the old woman dead, she would be in charge of the family, but to her surprise, the old woman bequeathed all the inheritance rights to the Yun family to Yun Suiwan. Even her three outstanding uncles were not eligible to inherit.

She couldn't understand why the three brothers of the Yun family would agree to their old woman leaving such a will.
