Chapter 125 Where Money Is, Love Is
Yun Yang's eyes were practically rolled back to the back of her head.
Hamburger stared intently at her with his bright blue eyes, and his mouth began its long, drawn-out process once again.
"You...eyes..."
"Excuse me." Yun Yang interrupted him with a forced smile, "I don't usually roll my eyes at people's faces unless I really can't help it."
You're the one who's mentally ill!
Your whole family are mentally ill!
Yun Yang was frantically processing what was happening in her mind.
Shin-chan, who had been quietly standing to the side, suddenly charged forward like an angry little leopard.
He opened his mouth and bit down hard on Hamburger's arm!
Hamburg groaned in pain, his handsome face instantly contorting into a grimace.
"Men, don't make my sister angry!" Shin-chan shouted indistinctly.
After taking a bite, he immediately let go, took a few quick steps, and "whoosh" ran back to Yunyang's side, hugging her leg tightly.
Yunyang looked down at the golden retriever panda with its little face upturned, begging for praise, and her heart melted.
She gently patted Shin-chan's head: "Good boy."
Well, she unilaterally announced that the entire Hamburg family, excluding little Shin-chan, is included.
Pulling herself out of her thoughts, Yun Yang took out a document and slammed it onto the table in front of Hamburger.
That was a paternity test report.
Hamburg looked down in confusion.
The report's final section clearly states the conclusion: "Based on the DNA analysis results, it supports the existence of an uncle-nephew relationship between submitted sample A (Tustin Hamburg) and submitted sample B (Xiaoxin)."
Yun Yang said calmly, "Since you are Xiao Xin's family, I have no objection to when you want to take him away."
"However, the premise is that we have to listen to Shin-chan's own wishes."
Yun Yang paused for a moment, then added, "I'll have the servants prepare a guest room for you. You can stay here for the next few days."
After saying that, she took Shin-chan's hand and turned to leave.
She felt her blood pressure spike just looking at this slow-moving man.
Seeing that Yunyang was really about to leave, Hamburger suddenly stood up from his chair and reached out his hand.
"Wait..."
His lips moved rapidly, but he only managed to utter two words.
"untie……"
Damn it!
This mouth of mine is slow when it should be fast, and babbles incoherently when it shouldn't!
He clearly knew what the antidote was!
This was originally his best bargaining chip!
Xiao Xin only listens to this woman now, so it will probably be very difficult for him to take his son away smoothly.
He could easily use the antidote to make a deal with Yunyang.
But now...
Yun Yang stopped and turned to look at the man whose face was flushed with anxiety.
What do you mean?
Go relieve yourself.
"If you have anything to say, just write it down."
"It's too much trouble to listen to you talk."
Yun Yang's tone carried a hint of impatience.
The antidote is not the most important thing right now.
The important question is how much of Hamburg's statement is true and how much is false.
She led Shin-chan out of the room and instructed the bodyguard at the door, "Get him a pen and paper."
Then, she gently said to Shin-chan, "Shin-chan, go play with Pan-er for a while, okay?"
Shin-chan nodded obediently and ran off with his short legs.
Yun Yang originally wanted to go find Zhang Yan, who had been drugged, to see if there had been any abnormalities in his body these past few days.
As soon as they turned the corner, they saw Pan'er sitting alone on a bench in the corridor, hugging her knees, her hair a mess, like a little bird's nest.
Combing Pan'er's hair was Shen Mingyue's exclusive job, something no one else could take away from her.
What's wrong with me today...?
Yunyang walked over, sat down next to Pan'er, and took out a spare rubber band from her pocket.
She gently combed Pan'er's messy hair and tied it into a neat and tidy high ponytail.
"Pan'er, where is Sister Mingyue?" Yunyang asked softly.
Pan'er shook her newly tied ponytail and whispered, "Sister Mingyue is sleeping in her room."
sleep?
Yun Yang frowned.
A bad feeling welled up in Yunyang's heart, and she felt that she had to go and see for herself to put her mind at ease.
The system suddenly appeared the moment I stood up.
Go ahead, she knows everything!
She's about to call her parents to confront them! Her parents have already prepared their story and are determined to continue using her, so you need to stop her!
Yun Yang continued walking towards Shen Mingyue's room.
She didn't believe a word this lousy system said, not even the punctuation.
He walked up to Shen Mingyue's door and gently knocked.
"Knock knock knock".
Soon, Shen Mingyue's slightly hoarse voice came from inside.
"Who's there? I'm sleeping..."
His voice sounded tired, but his reactions were surprisingly quick.
Who can reply instantly when they're asleep?
Yun Yang knew it was a lie as soon as she heard it.
Without further hesitation, she turned the doorknob, pushed the door open, and went inside.
Although it's a bit impolite, it's better than letting her overthink things and potentially causing something serious to happen.
The room was dimly lit, with heavy curtains completely blocking out the sunlight.
Shen Mingyue was sitting on the edge of the bed with her back to the door. When she heard the door open, her body stiffened visibly.
He then hurriedly hid something under his pillow.
The movement was so fast that Yun Yang only saw a fleeting afterimage.
The assassins of the Shen family all have a chip implanted in the back of their necks.
The system's voice suddenly rang out, as if it were giving a science lesson.
Yun Yang's heart stirred.
It seems the Fu family doesn't have this kind of high-tech stuff.
The moment that thought crossed her mind, the system immediately seemed to understand her thoughts and continued to provide answers.
[Because this device monitors the killer's vital signs in real time.]
Once the assassin is found to be irreparably wounded, in order to leave no survivors, the chip will immediately issue a command to precisely sever the assassin's major artery.
Yun Yang felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this.
The Shen family was even more ruthless than she had imagined.
She composed herself, walked to the minibar in the room, and took two bottles of non-alcoholic butterbeer from the refrigerator.
He walked to the bedside, sat down next to Shen Mingyue, and handed her one of the bottles.
Shen Mingyue didn't answer or turn around; her shoulders were just trembling slightly.
Yun Yang didn't urge her. She just sat there quietly, opened a bottle herself, and took a small sip.
She knew that Shen Mingyue must be in a state of extreme emotional turmoil and needed time to process everything.
The room was so quiet that they could hear each other breathing.
After a long while, Shen Mingyue finally moved.
She took the beer, unscrewed the cap, tilted her head back, and gulped down most of the bottle in one go.
The cool liquid slid down her throat, seemingly taking away some of the heat in her heart.
“Yun Yang…”
She finally spoke, her voice terribly hoarse.
"Tell me, how can I tell if someone truly loves me?"
Her question was light, like a breeze, yet it carried a thousand pounds of weight.
Yun Yang looked at her, thought for a moment, and said something very realistic, even somewhat cruel.
"Where money is, there is love."
This is a lesson she learned through blood and tears from her parents who favored sons over daughters, a lesson she learned from growing up.
They constantly emphasized to her that the house and the savings belonged to her younger brother, telling her that as a girl, she shouldn't be thinking about things that didn't belong to her.
In their eyes, a daughter is like water spilled from a cup; she'll belong to someone else's family sooner or later.
So-called family ties are incredibly fragile in the face of naked self-interest.
Shen Mingyue froze upon hearing these words.
It's like chewing over every single word in that sentence.
Where money is, there is love...
He then tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that looked even uglier than a grimace.
"I want to be by myself for a while," she said to Yunyang.
Yun Yang nodded and didn't say anything more.
He placed the beer bottle on the bedside table, then stood up, turned, and left the room.
Some roads, in the end, you have to walk alone.
Some hurdles must be overcome on your own.
As soon as she stepped out of the room, the system in her mind became anxious.
Hey, don't go! Why did you leave?!
[Her parents will definitely use sweet talk to deceive her, saying that Fu Xiaoting was behind all of this, and then continue to manipulate her! You need to stay and talk her out of it!]
Yun Yang continued walking, silently replying in her mind.
[If these things don't shut up soon, I'll break their darling host's third leg.]
Noisy.
The system went silent instantly.
Yunyang believed in Shen Mingyue.
A girl who was spoiled growing up is used to being self-centered.
Perhaps you will suffer from sudden betrayal, or feel lost because of false love.
But she must understand one thing better than anyone else.
That is, to love yourself.
Even if the whole world abandons her, she will always be her strongest support.
