Chapter 40 Forty Nights
Cynthia, like a sunflower
The information about the Yun family that can be found on the Star Internet is only superficial records, which is enough to illustrate the financial strength of the Yun family.
As a renowned family on the Imperial Capital's Central Star, the Yun family has been active in the business world for centuries, and their legacy cannot be fully articulated in a few words. Beyond the medium and heavy machinery like the starships Yun Wanwan had seen, and naturally a range of technological products including the intelligent computers she had just suspected, the Yun family also has interests in various areas related to people's well-being, including the development and production of nutrient solutions and therapeutic agents.
The Yun family also maintains its own caravan, plying trade across various star regions. While its routes aren't as comprehensive as those of the Yuanhang Group, it still manages to capture a share of the Yuanhang Group's profits. The Yun family also collaborates with other groups, including the royal family and the Crown Prince's businesses, participating in resource-intensive development.
It can be said that it has penetrated into all aspects.
The Yun family was such a huge family, which could be called a behemoth, but it quickly declined and was completely swallowed up because of a small pusher.
Yun Wanwan didn't believe it was a coincidence.
Perhaps it was the influence of the Son of Fortune, but the so-called going with the flow was more likely a deliberate scheme hidden behind the scenes.
The original body's death was not a pure accident.
The place where the Yun family is located is more like a small city. There is a special route from the star port, and the journey is smooth and unobstructed.
Yuncheng, a dream city that is also a prominent landmark on the central star of the imperial capital, is called Yuncheng not only because its owner is the Yun family, but also because the main body of the city is above the clouds, making it a complete aerial city.
Looking at such a miracle, and thinking about the towering starport that he had seen before, which was larger than a city, and considering the technology mastered by the Yun family and the development over so many years, it is not surprising that they have such a foundation.
Yun Wanwan was watching with great interest and noticed her curious look. Although Yun Zhongqing felt it was a little strange, he considered himself a good brother who understood his younger sister's thoughts very well. He was not in a hurry to go home and the starship circled Yuncheng directly, just to let Yun Wanwan see more clearly.
Yun Wanwan felt Yun Zhongqing's thoughtfulness, and just smiled and shook her head without saying anything more. Bit by bit, she saw this city and this world more clearly.
On the other side, Chu Wenxiao was not having a good time.
He did not hesitate at all when he decided to abandon Yun Wanwan after the accident. Even when Yun Wanwan's lifeboat was swept away by the warp rift, his determination remained unchanged, let alone any guilt.
In Chu Wenxiao's view, people like Yun Wanwan were a waste of food and social resources. She had the Yun family as her backing, possessing so many resources, yet she was such a waste—of course, it wasn't just because Yun Wanwan herself had no talent, but because her personality made her a waste in itself—Chu Wenxiao looked down on her.
He openly expressed his dislike for Yun Wanwan, and even made his rejection very clear, but Yun Wanwan seemed not to understand. She felt that he was being shy and playing hard to get. Following him around all day long caused him so much trouble.
Even the girl he cherished so much in his heart suffered so much harm because of Yun Wanwan.
Yun Wanwan, her death is not a pity.
But he couldn't do anything, and even had to endure it when Yun Wanwan pestered him, because Yun Wanwan was born in the Yun family and was a direct descendant of the Yun family. The current head of the Yun family was also her eldest brother, and the Yun family's favor for Yun Wanwan was even more obvious.
Chu Wenxiao knew that because of Yun Wanwan's love for him, he had received a lot of preferential treatment, both openly and secretly, but that was not what he wanted.
In the previous incident, Yun Wanwan disappeared—in Chu Wenxiao's opinion, Yun Wanwan was dead—but the Yun family refused to give up and kept searching for her. He didn't know why, but whenever he thought about this, the possibility that Yun Wanwan was still alive, he became uneasy, feeling that something was beyond his expectations and was beginning to develop in an uncontrollable direction.
Yun Zhongqing's whereabouts are no secret. With just a little attention, you will know that Yun Zhongqing suddenly traveled and his destination is still unknown.
Chu Wenxiao didn't know that the group of young masters from the Central Star of the Imperial Capital had wandered to the Y4162 star field, and the news of their adventures along the way had already fermented on the star network. He also didn't see that the girl he caught a glimpse of in the live broadcast room was Yun Wanwan, but he had a hunch that Yun Zhongqing's trip this time might be related to Yun Wanwan.
The Yun family is so large that it is not difficult to plant a few insiders in it, but Yun Zhongqing went on a private trip this time and did not even inform Old Man Yun. He wanted to find Yun Wanwan in person to confirm her safety. It would not be too late to notify her family after bringing her back.
Only by keeping Yun Wanwan under his nose could Yun Zhongqing feel at ease. He didn't want to experience the same thing again, where someone suddenly disappeared or even died suddenly.
Many people saw Yun Zhongqing's starship returning. It flew straight into Yuncheng and passed the gate of the Yun family. At that moment, anyone who paid attention could see that Yun Zhongqing solemnly took a person out of the starship. He was obviously wearing the most ordinary protective clothing, but the slender figure revealed a halo that they could not understand in the gap of the backlight.
"Who... is that person?"
"Could it be that the young head of the Yun family is finally getting married?"
"Whose girl is this? She looks pretty good."
"This person looks quite good, does anyone know him?"
"What are you all talking about? She hasn't even shown her face, and you can see it? What nonsense are you talking about!"
The sound of subtle discussions rose and fell in every corner. It was too far away for Yun Wanwan to hear clearly, but her consciousness was sharp, and she could certainly feel that so many people were watching her.
Judging from Yun Zhongqing's expression, he didn't seem surprised at all. He even had the leisure to explain to Yun Wanwan, "I haven't told my family yet. Wanwan, do you want to tell them in person?"
The scene of Yun Wanwan and Yun Zhongqing coming back together soon appeared in front of Chu Wenxiao. Unlike others who were still guessing who the girl standing next to Yun Zhongqing was, Chu Wenxiao recognized her at a glance. It was Yun Wanwan.
Yun Wanwan is back.
Yun Wanwan is still alive.
This realization was like a bolt from the blue that rushed into Chu Wenxiao's brain. Although he conceded that Yun Wanwan had already died in the warp rift, he did think about what she would look like if she came back in the dead of night, and how the Yun family would react, and whether it would be disadvantageous to him.
At this time, Yun Wanwan really came back, but Chu Wenxiao was not very sure.
The figure in the camera was too familiar. Although he had never liked Yun Wanwan, she appeared beside him too frequently and was a person with a strong presence. Even if she turned into ashes, Chu Wenxiao would be able to recognize her.
Chu Wenxiao quickly sent out several messages. He had to make arrangements first to avoid any unusual changes in the Yun family. He no longer had the confidence to grasp Yun Wanwan's attitude.
"Wen Xiao, what are you doing? Is it time to leave?"
A soft and energetic voice sounded not far away, and Cynthia ran over like a smiling sunflower.
Looking at his beloved girl, Chu Wenxiao's expression softened and he couldn't help but smile.
The smile on Cynthia's face also became hesitant: "You looked unhappy just now, is there something wrong?" Seeing Chu Wenxiao's hesitation, Cynthia puffed her cheeks and said, "Don't hide it from me under the pretext of doing it for my own good! Didn't we agree that no matter what happens in the future, we will work together?"
"Okay, I'll tell you everything." Looking at his beloved girl, Chu Wenxiao's heart softened.
After the last accident, their relationship progressed by leaps and bounds, and they were extremely natural when they got along.
Cynthia hugged Chu Wenxiao's arm and shook it. "Then tell me the truth. What happened that made you look so upset?"
Chu Wenxiao was trying to figure out how to tell Cynthia about Yun Wanwan. In the end, as they had agreed, he didn't hide anything from her and showed her the news he had just received.
Before Chu Wenxiao could speak, Cynthia looked at the camera and her face turned pale. Chu Wenxiao could recognize her, and Cynthia, who was more familiar with Yun Wanwan, could also tell at a glance.
“This is…” Cynthia’s voice was trembling.
Chu Wenxiao knew how great the psychological trauma that Yun Wanwan had brought to Cynthia was, forcing such a lively and lovely girl to be full of despair about life. If he had not appeared and protected Cynthia, who knows what would have happened.
Now, just seeing Yun Wanwan's figure made Cynthia terrified.
Chu Wenxiao instantly closed the screen and pulled Cynthia into his arms, slowly soothing the frightened girl. "Why are you being so timid again? Didn't I tell you that you don't have to be afraid of her anymore? Don't worry, she can't hurt you again." He smiled and rubbed Cynthia's soft head. "You're like this? Just now you swore to me that you would face this together and work hard, and you're such a coward?"
Cynthia's attention was instantly diverted, and she jumped up from Chu Wenxiao's arms, "Who is a coward!"
Chu Wenxiao laughed. It was good that he wasn't a coward. If Yun Wanwan really came back, there was no telling what would happen. But as he had said, he would never allow anyone else to harm Cynthia again, including Yun Wanwan and the Yun family.
"Calm down and listen to me."
"good……"
"From the looks of it, Yun Wanwan should have returned alive."
Hearing Yun Wanwan's name, Cynthia, whose face had finally regained some color, still flinched for a moment. Chu Wenxiao hadn't exposed her this time; she would eventually adapt. His Cynthia was a brilliant girl, and she would definitely be able to move on from the shadow cast by Yun Wanwan. He just needed to give her a little more time.
Chu Wenxiao couldn't help but feel that Yun Wanwan's return alive was a blessing. It made him realize that the damage Cynthia had suffered hadn't healed, hiding in the dark corners, and who knew when it would erupt. Now that Yun Wanwan had stimulated him, he could see clearly and prescribe the right medicine in the future.
"We still don't know what's going on with Yun Wanwan, let alone how the Yun family will react." Chu Wenxiao didn't want to scare the girl in front of him, but he still had to remind her of some things. "The previous fall was an accident. It was my choice at the time. I chose to save you. You don't have to feel any psychological pressure. No matter what vengeful behavior Yun Wanwan has, it will be directed at me. It has nothing to do with you, understand? I will bear all of this. You don't have to be afraid. Just ensure your own safety, understand?"
Cynthia certainly understood, but she didn't think of letting Chu Wenxiao bear all this alone. She muttered, "How can it have nothing to do with me... Yun Wanwan likes you so much... How could she take revenge on you..."
If Yun Wanwan wants to take revenge, she will only target her.
What Chu Wenxiao meant was that no matter what action Yun Wanwan took this time, he would choose to stand on her side - in fact, he had always been protecting her, and this time, Chu Wenxiao seemed to be ready for a head-on conflict with Yun Wanwan.
But behind Yun Wanwan, there is the giant Yun family.
"Don't be afraid, leave it all to me, okay?"
"Okay..." Cynthia muttered and buried herself in Chu Wenxiao's arms, "Anyway, no matter what happens, I will be with you, and we will face it together."
Chu Wenxiao hugged his beloved girl tightly, but his eyes were cold: It’s time for that giant of the Yun family to taste the pain of being injured.
