Wang Fengfeng, a burly, imposing figure, slammed her hand on the table with a deafening roar: "I don't care about any of that! I just want to know if my granddaughter has been taken away by the police and can't get out?!"
While inwardly groaning, Xu Rong tried to comfort Wang Fengfeng: "Mom... I've tried to think of a way, but that brat Yun Tangyin just won't budge..."
Wang Fengfeng was the type to grab a kitchen knife when she got anxious. Her face flushed, she pointed the knife at Yun Zhixiong, whose face was ashen, and said, "What? You, as his father, didn't even say a word? Runli is your own daughter!"
Yun Zhixiong's face was already extremely pale.
Wang Fengfeng's words were like adding fuel to the fire. Even though he had previously been wary of Wang Fengfeng's recklessness, he was now enraged and his blood was boiling.
Yun Zhixiong's eyes widened, and he was no longer the absent-minded man he had been when he was in the Yun family: "Runli is my daughter, but Yinyin isn't? If it weren't for you, would Yinyin have caused this mess and severed ties with me?"
It pains him to think about this.
Thinking back to the good life I used to have, and comparing it to the days I live in now, eating steamed buns and fermented bean curd in a tenement building...
At this moment, Yun Zhixiong couldn't really say that he was saying this because he missed Yun Tangyin.
He just felt that bringing Yun Tangyin out at this moment would make him, as a father, seem somewhat respectable.
Otherwise, if this gets out, Yun Zhixiong might lose all face for the rest of his life, and even for the next.
Xu Rong had to persuade Wang Fengfeng and then Yun Zhixiong, leaving her utterly exhausted.
She knew what kind of person Yun Zhixiong was, but now there was no hope of getting Yun Tangyin to agree. She, as the stepmother, definitely had no chance, but Yun Zhixiong might be willing to swallow his pride and beg... and Yun Tangyin might agree.
After all, from Xu Rong's perspective, Yun Tangyin's current behavior, including her breaking off her relationship with Yun Zhixiong and then chasing after them to humiliate them, is all an attempt to gain Yun Zhixiong's approval.
It was to show Yun Zhixiong her abilities as a young lady, so that her father would know what a mistake it was to place his hopes on Xu Runli.
To put it simply, she's just a little girl trying to prove her place in her biological father's heart.
Xu Rong thought she had seen through Yun Tangyin's thoughts, so she forced a smile and comforted Yun Zhixiong: "Don't get so angry. The reason Yinyin is making a fuss is just because she's a child. You can just coax her a little and she'll be fine."
Yun Zhixiong and Xu Rong had been married for many years. As soon as she opened her mouth, Yun Zhixiong knew what she meant. He took a deep breath and nodded.
That's what he thought too.
Yun Tangyin has indeed suffered all these years. Now, as long as we coax this daughter properly, she will definitely let bygones be bygones.
In fact, Yun Zhixiong regretted it the moment he left the Yun family's house.
Xu Rong's words have given him a way out.
Yun Zhixiong sat down and began to think about how to coax Yun Tangyin.
Wang Fengfeng, who was standing nearby, hadn't thought of this twist of fate. Gripping the kitchen knife, she glared at Xu Rong and said, "Is that all? What about Runli?"
Xu Rong gave her a look to calm her down.
Wang Fengfeng wouldn't let it go. She didn't have Xu Rong's brains, so she dragged her into the inner room and asked, "What's the use of staring at me like that? I'm just asking you, what about Runli? Aren't we trying everything to make sure Runli has a good life in the future?"
Xu Rong lowered her voice: "Let him go and coax that brat Yun Tangyin. It's just a delaying tactic, a temporary measure. No matter what, let's get Runli out first. We'll deal with the rest later. With me here, Yun Tangyin definitely can't beat Runli!"
Wang Fengfeng found these words agreeable, and although her expression was still not very pleasant, she nodded.
But recalling how difficult Yun Tangyin was to deal with, Wang Fengfeng frowned: "Will it really work? I think that girl is quite difficult to deal with. You didn't suffer any losses when you went to see her today, did you?"
Hearing Wang Fengfeng ask this question, Xu Rong choked.
That's more than just suffering a loss.
But Xu Rong didn't dare to say anything, so she could only turn around and urge Yun Zhixiong to find a way to coax Yun Tangyin.
...
Yun Tangyin had sweet dreams all night.
She dreamt that her scumbag father, Yun Zhixiong, wore a fawning human skin mask to please her, but she slapped the mask off and he ran away crying.
It was so funny that Yun Tangyin had a smile on her face when she woke up.
When I changed my clothes and went downstairs for breakfast, Fu Yucheng was already sitting at the table, reading the morning newspaper with his eyes downcast and his brows furrowed as he read.
The morning sunlight streamed through the glass window and fell on his profile. His face, which was already perfectly proportioned, was illuminated by the morning light, creating a stunning interplay of light and shadow that made Yun Tangyin gasp for breath.
It's pleasing to the eye.
Seeing a handsome guy first thing in the morning is a blessing for her.
However, it would be even better if the handsome guy's expression while reading the newspaper wasn't so serious.
Yun Tangyin smiled as she sat down in her seat and greeted Fu Yucheng, "Morning~"
The old woman, who was serving porridge to the table, suddenly laughed: "Miss Yun isn't even married yet, and she's already touching him all over. That's not how a fiancée should behave."
The tone was good-natured teasing, not sarcastic, but Yun Tangyin was still taken aback.
touch?
Whom are you touching?
Who touched it?
Fu Yucheng's gaze had shifted from the newspaper to Yun Tangyin's face.
Seeing her smile freeze on her face, Fu Yucheng's ears turned slightly red, and he shook the newspaper in his hand: "Good morning."
With just one word, he got Yun Tangyin out of her predicament.
But before Yun Tangyin could speak, Fu Yucheng lowered his eyes and added softly, "...You should speak less English in the future."
Yun Tangyin was stunned for a moment, then realized that the other person probably heard her as saying "touch you".
Then I started cursing myself for being so careless. What kind of era is this? Not everyone understands English.
The fact that she blurted out an English sentence, coupled with her status as a capitalist's daughter...
This is definitely handing someone leverage against you!
Yun Tangyin patted her mouth: "I'm not going to say it anymore."
Fu Yucheng found her actions truly adorable, and couldn't help but smile: "You can do that in front of me."
Yun Tangyin just smiled and then began to drink the sweet millet and pumpkin porridge.
The slightly scalding temperature, combined with the unique aroma of millet and pumpkin after cooking, made Yun Tangyin feel a sense of happiness on her taste buds with just one spoonful.
With her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, Yun Tangyin felt a sense of happiness even while drinking porridge. If she were a food vlogger in modern times, she would definitely make a fortune.
But now...
Although Fu Yucheng was holding a newspaper, his gaze never left Yun Tangyin's face.
Yun Tangyin looked back while drinking her porridge and asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
Fu Yucheng cleared his throat by making a fist with one hand and taking out the document he had brought back last night: "Here, take this."
Yun Tangyin curiously took it and opened it: "Hmm? What is this...?"
Upon opening it, two lines of handwritten characters were clearly written on it.
[This is to certify that Comrade Yun Tangyin is exempt from rural assignments due to her military service. Attached is a letter of introduction for her household registration transfer.]
