"Sister, this is not called snatching, but fair competition. The marriage contract was made by Grandpa, and he didn't specify who the marriage contract was for. I am also a daughter of the Yun family, so why can't it be me?"
"There is an order of seniority. I am older than you, so of course I should be the one to be engaged to!"
Yun Huan snorted, "Then why can't you, as a sister, give in to me, a younger sister?"
Seeing Yun Yao was so angry that she was about to vomit blood, Yun Huan was in a good mood. He lowered his head to continue to tidy himself up, but he did not notice the cold light in Yun Yao's eyes that was more resentful than a poisonous snake.

Although today is the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, a rare holiday for families to reunite and relax, company bosses like Yun Shixian are not resting.
Early in the morning, he brought gifts and visited important leaders in Jiang City and major customers who had close cooperation with the company one by one.
When he received the call from home, he was discussing a major project with a very important client.
This big client not only has huge assets, but also has deep connections in the military and political fields. Even if the cooperation fails, it will be beneficial to be on good terms with the other party.
After the conversation was almost over, Yun Shixian took out the mooncakes he brought from home and said, "Mr. Jiang, I know your wife loves mooncakes. My daughter baked them last night. I thought they tasted good, so I picked some to bring with me. This small gift is a token of my respect."
Jiang Zhengfu took the box of cookies with a smile, "Boss Yun, you are so polite. I will respectfully obey your command, then?"
"It's just a few mooncakes, not worth much, I hope you don't mind."
"What are you talking about, Mr. Yun? How can you dislike it? These mooncakes baked by hand are much more thoughtful than those bought casually outside."
After seeing Yun Shixian off, Jiang Zhengfu opened the mooncake box, took a look, then closed the box and placed the mooncake on the dining table, ready to wait for his wife and son to come back from shopping so they could enjoy it together in the evening.

After leaving Jiang's house, Yun Shixian immediately asked his secretary to visit the remaining clients, and he asked the driver to drive him home.
When Yun Shixian returned home, Mrs. Su Song Peirong and her husband Su Jin had already arrived.
The couple had already learned the whole story from their son and were filled with anger towards the entire Yun family.
As soon as Yun Shixian entered the room, Song Peirong opened fire on him without any hesitation, "Shixian, you really raised a good daughter! At such a young age, she actually used some inferior means to plot against my Ming'an. She is simply shameless!"
As she spoke, Song Peirong placed the white paper wrapped with the remaining medicine powder that she found from the trash can and the wine glass that her son had drunk from in front of Yun Shixian.
After all, it was the first time she did such a thing. Yun Yao was completely immersed in the joy of becoming Su Mingan's woman and did not even think about disposing of the evidence.
Song Peirong had been a lady of a noble family for decades, so she was no stranger to tricks and brains. As soon as she arrived, she took control of the entire Yun family. She took the wine glasses that the servants had not yet washed, and dug out the paper wrapped in medicine powder from the trash can.
Yun Shixian was fully aware of his eldest daughter's plan and even acquiesced in it, but he pretended to be ignorant and sternly reprimanded his eldest daughter.
"Xiaoyao, what on earth did you do?"
Yun Yao knew very well that Yun Shixian wanted her to take all the blame, but she had no way to resist.
At this point, Yun Shixian is her only support.
With Yun Shixian's support, she may still have a glimmer of hope.
Otherwise, she will be completely screwed.
Then, she turned to look at the Su family, "Aunt Song, Uncle Su, Ming'an, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I was bewildered, I'm really sorry."
Song Peirong wanted to kill Yun Yao, "Sorry? Is sorry useful? Do you know that you, a vicious and stupid woman, have caused great harm to our Ming An!"
Although Su Ming'an didn't say anything, his eyes when he looked at Yun Yao were cold and full of hatred.
Originally, his family had made arrangements for him. As soon as he graduated, he would be able to join the army as a second-level trainee officer. His starting point would be much higher than others, and his future would be bright.
But what happened today will undoubtedly be a stain on his life.
Once it gets out, his reputation and character will be questioned. By then, let alone a second-level trainee officer, he might not even pass the political review! "Aunt Song, Uncle Song, don't worry. I, I volunteered. Brother Ming'an didn't force me."
Seeing Yun Huan appearing out of nowhere, Song Peirong's face turned extremely ugly, but she couldn't scold Yun Huan like she did Yun Yao.
After all, it was her son's own carelessness that led him to be tricked by others.
Looking at his second daughter who had grown into a beautiful young lady, Yun Shixian's heart moved and an idea quickly came to his mind.
"Brother Jin, sister-in-law, calm down. Xiaoyao was indeed wrong in this matter. It is my fault for not educating my daughter well. I am really ashamed of you.
But the incident has already happened, so let’s put aside the question of who is responsible for the incident for now. The most important thing is to find a way to deal with it so that the incident doesn’t get out and have a bad impact on the children.”
After hearing this, Song Peirong had to calm down. After all, her son was the one who was most affected by this matter.
Su Jin said, "Shixian, if you have any ideas, please speak up."
Yun Shixian said: "Brother Jin, I won't beat around the bush with you. Our two families already have an engagement, and Xiaoyao is the same age as Mingan, so our two families automatically put the marriage between them.
Now that things have turned out like this, why not let Xiao Huan and Ming An arrange their marriage first? Once they become engaged, today's incident won't have any negative impact on Ming An."
Although Yun Shixian's words were polite, they could not help but sound like he was taking advantage of someone's misfortune.
Although Song Peirong was extremely unwilling, she had to compromise for the sake of her son's future.
However, the couple did not agree immediately, but suggested going home to discuss it.
After the Su couple took Su Ming'an away, Yun Shixian called the two sisters into the study with a cold face.
"Tell me, what's going on!"
Seeing that the two sisters were silent, Yun Shixian immediately got angry, "Speak up, are you all dumb?"
Yun Shixian is not only the company's president, but also the head of the family. He has accumulated a lot of power and can be quite scary when he gets angry. Yun Huan immediately backed down and told him everything about himself and Su Mingan.
It turned out that when Yun Yao persuaded the drunk Su Ming'an to go to the guest room to rest, Yun Huan felt that Yun Yao had bad intentions.
Fearing that Yun Yao would preempt her, she quietly followed Su Ming'an upstairs while Yun Yao went to the kitchen to cook hangover soup.
