Nan Yao was still pretending to be kind to her mother, saying things like, "The children in the orphanage are so pitiful, it's disgusting!"

When her mother investigated and discovered that Nan Yao was spending all her money on drinks at bars and squandering it recklessly, she wanted to see how much credibility Nan Yao still had in front of her mother!

A few days later, Nan Weixia received news from her mother's assistant that they seemed to have found out about a bar where Nan Yao had spent a lot of money.

Nan Weixia was so happy she almost jumped for joy!

Serves you right for pretending! What were you doing, pretending to be a kind and good person? You've been exposed! Nan Yao, let's see how you get out of this mess!

Saturday night is a rare time for the Nan family of five to have dinner together, as the whole family returns to the Nan family home for dinner that evening.

Both Nan's father, who was in charge of the entire group's business direction and extremely busy, and Nan Yun Shen, who was busy preparing for the listing of another subsidiary, returned to the Nan family.

Because of Nan Yao's injuries, although dinner was plentiful, it consisted of medicinal dishes that could promote bone healing, so the taste was inevitably a bit bland. Nan Weixia, who had a fondness for sweet and spicy food, couldn't help but feel down when she saw the watery soup on the table.

She felt even worse when she saw her brother personally ladling soup and serving her food after noticing that Nan Yao's left arm was broken and she couldn't eat easily.

Even Nan's mother was smiling and praising him!

“Yun Shen may be aloof, but he cares a lot about his sister! Yao Yao has some trouble eating right now, so as her older brother, he personally scoops rice and porridge for her. That’s so kind of him.”

Nan Yun said calmly, "If you want, I'll scoop it for you."

Nan's mother immediately laughed: "I don't need it, I have someone to help me." She joked with Nan's father, "Did you hear that? You have to help me scoop the rice."

"Alright, alright, I'll serve the rice to Madam." Only at family banquets was Nan's father not so serious. He laughed heartily, teasing her as he actually served Nan's mother a bowl of rice.

Nan Weixia was so angry that she couldn't eat a single bite of food.

The four of them were all very close, so they acted like outsiders!

Knowing full well that she has no blood relation with them, why pretend to be a close and harmonious family in front of her?

If this wasn't meant to provoke her, what else could it be?

While enjoying the food, Tong Su smiled as she watched the hatred and rage in Nan Weixia's eyes.

Although the relationship between Nan's mother and Nan Yun Shen appears to be one of maternal love and filial piety, in reality, beneath the love and respect lies a deep-seated estrangement.

Nan Yun Shen is not a child of the Nan family.

The most appropriate explanation for his relationship with the Nan family is that he was "fostered".

However, it's not the kind of foster care where one lives under someone else's roof. To use an ancient metaphor, it should be...

The emperor's illegitimate son was entrusted to a minister's family for foster care.

The Nan family was once a powerful and influential family, but decades ago they chose the wrong side, suffered misfortune, and were relegated to a sixth-tier city, barely surviving.

The biggest reason he was able to make a comeback more than a decade ago was because he helped that important figure by raising this "illegitimate child"!

A single order from that important figure was enough for the Nan family to rise to the top again.

For some reason, Nan Yun Shen's true background cannot be revealed yet. The original owner accidentally learned that Nan Yun Shen had no relation to Nan's father and mother, but did not know that, in terms of his background, the Nan family was insignificant!

Nan's father and mother had an eldest son, but he died before he was born. After Nan's father brought Nan Yun Shen home, he simply replaced the deceased son and claimed to the outside world that this was his biological son.

In the story, a few years later, Nan Yun Shen was recognized by that important figure and his true surname "Chu" was restored.
