When Ye Yun greeted her, Wu Yujun, who was standing against the wall, opened her mouth slightly.
Their already puzzled gazes became even more astonished.
At this moment, there were still traces of tears of excitement in the corners of her eyes, her hair was messy, and she looked as disheveled as an old hen that had just been in a fierce fight and had its feathers pecked off.
After a two-second pause, she suddenly snapped back to reality and hurriedly turned around to tidy herself up.
After she smoothed her frizzy hair and closed her loose collar, she turned around and nervously took Ye Yun's outstretched hand.
"Hello, my name is Wu Yujun."
Although she knew Ye Yun knew her, she still formally introduced herself to show goodwill.
This Ye Yun seems to know her very well, even about her private betting with Hu Yueying, so she must be no ordinary person.
She dared not make any rash moves until she figured out who the other person was.
Thinking of this, Wu Yujun's tone softened considerably: "Miss Ye, thank you so much for helping me out of that situation just now..."
"You're welcome. I also have my own agenda."
"ah?"
Wu Yujun's face showed deep surprise, as if she hadn't expected her to be so straightforward.
Ye Yun had no intention of beating around the bush with Wu Yujun. She smiled and got straight to the point: "Ms. Wu, to be honest, I've recently run into a troublesome matter and would like to ask for your help."
Wu Yujun suddenly realized.
She said, "How could someone be so kind as to suddenly appear and help me?"
If that's the case, then things are easier to discuss.
Wu Yujun was also a businessman, and he would settle things quickly without owing favors. He immediately said, "Ye Yun, you have helped me a lot, and I will certainly not let you down. Just tell me what you need to do, and I will definitely not disappoint you if I can help you."
But she suddenly paused, as if thinking of something, and then spoke with a hint of bitterness:
"But don't make things too difficult for me. As you can see, I'm in a situation where even protecting myself is a problem..."
Ye Yun is so capable, what kind of difficult thing must it be to need her help to handle?
"Don't worry, the thing I asked you to help me with is a piece of cake for you," Ye Yun said. "I run a small business in the county town and accidentally offended the local tyrant. He took revenge on me. The main reason I came to you this time is to ask you to ask your father to handle this matter."
Wu Yujun's father was a renowned general in Huaicheng.
Normally, the police need evidence and an arrest warrant to make an arrest, but Wu Zhansheng only needed to say one word to arrest someone.
According to her, Wu Yujun and her father had long since lost their familial bond.
Wu Yujun's bad luck is entirely due to her being a hopeless romantic. Ever since she insisted on marrying Mr. Li, who was still a poor young man at the time, despite her parents' strong opposition, Wu Zhansheng ruthlessly severed ties with her and had not contacted her even once in more than ten years.
But Ye Yun knew that Wu Zhansheng had not truly let go of his daughter, Wu Yujun.
After Wu Yujun married the poor boy Li Yan'an, Li Yan'an gradually grew from a small business into a big boss with hundreds of people under his command, all thanks to Wu Zhansheng's silent support behind the scenes.
However, Wu Yujun's face suddenly darkened when she heard her father mentioned.
“Miss Ye, I’ve told you not to make things difficult for me. You know me so well, you should know that I don’t get along with my father. You can choose other ways to repay this favor, but please don’t use this method. I won’t accept it!”
"Why won't you accept it?"
Ye Yun's lips curled slightly, but her eyes gleamed with a cold light.
"Over the years, your father has devoted himself to you and your wife, abandoning his dignity as a general, lowering his status, and mingling with the money-grubbing man at drinking parties just to pave the way for the man from humble beginnings you chose. He should have been standing at the pinnacle of success, but he has repeatedly tarnished his reputation for your sake. Ms. Wu, why don't you go back and see him?"
Wu Yujun was speechless.
She couldn't believe her ears and murmured, "What...what did you just say?"
"I'm telling you, the reason you and your husband, who's from a poor background, have been living such a good life all these years is because your father has been secretly helping you!"
Ye Yun was furious at their lack of ambition, and her tone suddenly became much harsher.
She sneered and said, "Otherwise, do you think that your penniless, unrealistic, and love-struck husband, along with your own romantic nature, could have built such a large business in Huaicheng, a city teeming with merchants?"
Wu Yujun's face turned deathly pale.
Is this true?
She shook her head frantically, unable to believe it, yet tears welled up uncontrollably in her eyes.
"What makes you say that? What evidence do you have to say that?"
Her father cruelly kicked her out of the house, and she resented him for over a decade. Why should her resentment be turned into a joke with just one sentence?
"Believe it or not, I won't force you. After all, it's not like I had a falling out with my biological father."
With a thud, Wu Yujun collapsed to the ground.
If Ye Yun had refuted her, at least she could have held onto a sliver of hope. But Ye Yun didn't refute her at all, leaving it to her to believe or not!
Over the years, she has been utterly wrong.
In order to marry Li Yan'an, she did not hesitate to sever ties with her family, breaking the heart of her only relative.
As a result, Li Yan'an, having money, took a mistress, causing her to lose all her unwavering love and leaving her ashamed to face her father, whom she had deeply hurt.
Her father had told her that Li Yan'an was not a good man, but she refused to listen, thinking it was a lie her father told to break them up.
She even had a big argument with her father about it.
Now it seems she was the complete joke; only now does she realize who truly cared for her.
But she left so resolutely back then, how could she have the face to go back to her father...
