"I really underestimated you, my niece." Yu Haoting looked at Yu Zihan coldly, his face expressionless. "You've raised a good daughter," Yu Haoting said to Meijuan with a hint of meaning. Yu Meijuan's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself: Is my brother going to harm Zihan?
"If you have anything to say, come to me. Don't touch my daughter. You have to understand that my daughter is my bottom line." Yu Meijuan said passionately, eager to protect her daughter. Yu Zihan was deeply moved by her mother's words. She knew that her mother was trying to protect her. At the same time, she also realized that Yu Haoting already knew her mother's bottom line, and that she might become his target next. She thought that this was a good thing. As long as Yu Haoting directly targeted her, he would not go after her mother.
"You'd better hand that thing over, or you know what I'm going to do." Yu Haoting brazenly threatened Yu Meijuan, completely disregarding her. "Don't even think about it! Are you too comfortable using my Yu family's things? How dare you covet that thing? Aren't you afraid of starving yourself to death?" Yu Meijuan had completely given up hope. She hadn't expected her grandmother to remain indifferent while Yu Haoting targeted her and Zihan so harshly. Given that, she didn't want to give them any more leeway.
Yu Haoting's face was grim, and his tone was fierce: "You're being stubborn? I know you have a backer, isn't it the Pei family? Do you think I'm afraid of them?"
Yu Meijuan looked at him in silence, her heart filled with bitterness. The man before her was actually her brother, whom she had always respected. He was in a state she had never seen before. Just for that thing, even the brotherly love they had shared for so many years had vanished.
She laughed bitterly at herself. She thought that other people had never considered her a relative, otherwise they wouldn't have done so many things to hurt her. Why was she still being so sentimental?
"I don't think you'll turn back until you hit the wall. You'll regret it one day. I'm going to get it. By any means necessary!" Yu Haoting said this before slamming the door and leaving. Yu Zihan didn't miss the vicious look he gave her as he turned around. She knew she had to be more cautious from now on; this man was not someone to be trifled with. Although she didn't know what he would do to her, she could already imagine that she was in a dangerous situation.
Yu Meijuan turned around and looked at her mother lying on the bed, her heart filled with helplessness and sadness. Yu Zihan pulled her mother's arm, trying to give her some comfort.
"Mom, I'll come see you when I have time. You should rest first." Yu Meijuan said, and left in a hurry without waiting for her mother's response.
Lying in bed, Yu's mother burst into tears. She no longer had the face to face Yu Meijuan, and she didn't want her children to fight over that item. She had a selfish motive in telling Yu Meijuan all this. She also wanted to tell her that her family was her support, and that she didn't know whether the Yu family members who had left were dead or alive. Deep down, she hoped she would give the item to Yu Haoting.
Yu Meijuan's attitude left her somewhat disappointed. After all, she wasn't her biological daughter, and upon hearing that fact, she wasn't even willing to take care of herself. She only saw Yu Meijuan's attitude and ignored her son's words to her and her daughter. This is simply human nature.
Yu Meijuan and Yu Zihan left the hospital. She remained silent all the way. This incident was a big blow to her.
"Mom, we just do what we should do. Some relationships cannot be maintained by unilateral efforts. After all, they are family and you can't force them." Yu Zihan didn't know how to comfort her mother, but what she wanted to tell her mother was that this family was no longer her relatives, but enemies.
"Mom knows, but it's a little hard to accept for a while." Yu Meijuan said, holding her daughter's hand tightly.
"Your uncle, oh Yu Haoting, said something when he left. Be careful. From what I know about him, he will do something. We have to be on guard." Yu Meijuan now began to worry about Yu Zihan.
"It's okay. When the enemy comes, we will fight him. When the water comes, we will block it with earth." She said this to comfort her mother. She knew from Yu Haoting's vicious look that her trouble was coming.
"But what exactly is that box? Do we really need to go through so much trouble for it?" Yu Zihan was also very curious about the origin of the box.
"It is a family heirloom of the Yu family. I have no idea what it is. Your grandfather told me that it is very important to the Yu family. As a member of the Yu family, it is my responsibility to protect it. Now that I know they are not my biological parents, and I am a real member of the Yu family, I have to protect it even better. I am very glad that your grandfather gave it to me very early. I don't know at that time if he knew that his biological son would give it to him." Yu Meijuan was still frightened when she said this.
"Maybe he should be thankful that he handed that thing to you earlier, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to keep the last bit of their affection." Yu Zihan said. She thought, she should study what that thing is.
"Well, they raised me anyway. If they don't team up with their children to harm me, I will still treat them as my parents." Yu Zihan did not comment on Yu Meijuan's words. She felt that this was probably her mother's wishful thinking, but she did not want to burst her mother's fantasy right away.
It was already late when the two returned home, and Pei Xiao was still waiting for them in the living room.
The two exchanged glances and decided to explain today's events to Pei Xiao. Because if Yu Haoting were to make a move on them, Dad would have to be mentally prepared.
Seeing that the two of them seemed to have something to say, Pei Xiao filled their cups with hot tea and waited for them to speak.
Yu Meijuan took a sip of tea and said, "My current parents are not my biological children, they are my family's housekeepers..."
Yu Meijuan explained the situation to Pei Xiao in detail, including Yu Haoting's ambitions and goals.
When Pei Xiao first heard the news, he was a little bit unbelievable, but when he heard what Yu Haoting was going to do to his wife and daughter, his face was full of anger.
"I misjudged him. I thought he was a man of strategy and talent, but I didn't expect that his strategies would be used in such places." Pei Xiao looked at the mother and daughter.
"Now, we should contact your real family as soon as possible." Yu Zihan also agreed with his father's suggestion.
"But we don't know which country they went to. I was still a baby when they left." Yu Meijuan has no memory of her family.
"I thought of someone who might be able to help us." Pei Xiao paced back and forth, then said this with anticipation.
