Qin Yan composed himself, but his voice was devoid of warmth, making the person opposite him tremble with fear.
"Oh? How come I didn't know Yun Nuan's mother was still alive?"
Zhou Yue smiled awkwardly, "President Qin is joking. Well, a stepmother is still a mother, right? Here's the thing, may I say something to Yun Nuan? We have a lot of misunderstandings that we want to talk about."
She chuckled awkwardly, hoping Qin Yan could pass on a message. Qin Yan had no idea what there was to talk about with her. Everyone in S City knew that the Yun family had simply left Yun Nuan to fend for herself, and now they were just pretending to be kind.
"I'm sorry, there's no misunderstanding between Nuannuan and you. It's all your fault. I advise you not to contact Nuannuan anymore."
Qin Yan refused decisively, then turned to look at the person who was still having a great time, his eyes filled with deep emotions.
"Oh, Mr. Qin, it's all a misunderstanding, really all a misunderstanding. Yun Nuan is like my own daughter. There were some problems at home at the time, and we sent her to the nursing home for Yun Nuan's sake. Look at her now, isn't she doing just fine?"
This proves that our decision back then was correct, doesn't it, President Qin? Moreover, over the years, we have provided her with a lot of medical resources. If it weren't for the Yun family, how could Yun Nuan have survived until now?
Mr. Qin, don't you agree?
Hearing her say this, Qin Yan's emotions surged even more. If he remembered correctly, over the years, the Yun family had only allowed the hospital to take care of her as best they could, as long as she didn't die. They hadn't been so kind to her.
The doctor said she had been malnourished for a long time. If her body had been properly cared for back then, she could have surgery right now without any problem. But what did the Yun family do? They just abandoned her in the hospital with no one to take care of her.
“Mrs. Yun is right. I had forgotten about this matter if you hadn’t mentioned it. I will personally visit you when Mr. Yun returns and settle this score properly!”
After saying that, he didn't give Zhou Yue another chance and promptly added the phone number to his blacklist.
Just as Yun Nuan was taking a break, she saw him return his phone and curiously asked...
"Who made the call?"
"Zhou Yue, your stepmother."
Yun Nuan paused, thinking for a moment about who this person was, before replying.
"Oh." Completely unconcerned about what she wanted to say on the phone, Qin Yan made a move to sit beside her, hesitated for a moment before asking his question.
"You don't know Zhou Yue. Even at the banquet, you were puzzled for a long time before you recognized Yun Xue."
Yun Nuan opened the game's reward section, claimed her gift, and then navigated to other sections, clicking around.
"Is it strange that I don't know them?"
Her eyes moved closer to the screen, and Qin Yan immediately pulled her by the collar to keep her at a proper distance, then tentatively spoke.
"You are not Yun Nuan"?
After collecting all the rewards, she rubbed her wrist and looked at Qin Yan speechlessly. She had always thought that people who could manage large companies must be quite intelligent, but now it seemed that wasn't necessarily the case.
"Qin Yan, have you been having some mental issues lately? Remember to see a doctor more often. Didn't I tell you that when we were at the sanatorium?"
She remembered that she had already told him when she was in the sanatorium, so why was he asking now? Was he only just realizing it now and getting scared? She looked at him with some disappointment.
Qin Yan caught the look of disappointment in her eyes, and his forehead throbbed. He quickly replied...
"No, no, I thought you were joking. So what were you?"
Yun Nuan simply told the other person that she was not the original Yun Nuan, but did not tell him where she came from. She had no secrets and simply told him everything.
However, it depends on whether the world's consciousness will stop her; she has always wanted to challenge the authority of the world's consciousness.
"First of all, let me clarify that this body is mine, not the original Yun Nuan. As for the original Yun Nuan, she should have passed away when I came into this world."
If you miss her or feel guilty, burn more houses, cars, and money during holidays. But you people are strange; you only feel these sudden emotions after someone is gone.
My name is also Yun Nuan. I come from another world, and I'm just an unlucky guy. I've been sick for over ten years and was dragged into this world to continue being sick.
That's about it. If there's anything else you want to know, as long as no one stops me, I can tell you.
She fiddled with the tablet, only to see that Qin Yan had already sat like a statue. She shrugged and continued playing the game.
After a while, Qin Yan finally spoke up, "Does anyone care about you? Even if you come into this world, will you ever leave again?"
"I'm not going to die, am I? I only have one life, or rather, half a life now. If I die, I'm dead."
Qin Yan quickly covered her mouth, saying, "Don't say that word. I already understand."
Then he sat back on the sofa, took out his phone and started typing. Yun Nuan ignored him and, when she got tired of playing, put the tablet on the table and started looking for Aunt Lan.
As Qin Yan watched her leave, his gaze lingered on her repeatedly, silently observing her without saying a word, though his expression would sometimes subtly change.
To be honest, Qin Yan had no memory of Yun Nuan from before. First of all, there was a big age gap between the two, and the betrothal was arranged by the mothers of both families without the two having met.
At that time, the Qin family was in turmoil. When Qin's mother took him away, Yun Nuan had just been born. When Qin's mother passed away, she asked him to take good care of Yun Nuan, and that's when he remembered the marriage agreement.
After returning to China, he was busy with his career and vaguely heard that there was a sickly person in the Yun family. Upon investigation, he found out that she was his fiancée, but his fiancée was pursuing another man.
He ignored it, only thinking that if she really had any difficulties, he could lend a hand, which would also fulfill Qin's mother's wish.
But who knew he would get into a car accident and spend a year in a sanatorium, where he met Yun Nuan, who came from another world.
He thought he would have to burn paper money for her every year during festivals. However, his tolerance had increased; he wasn't surprised at all by Yun Nuan's outrageous behavior.
It seems that Yun Nuan has trained him quite well.
Zhou Yue was so angry when the call was hung up on that she smashed her phone. She smashed two phones in two days in a row, and this time Yun Zhou saw it.
However, he was calmer than Yunxue. He reached over the broken phone and grabbed his messy hair, wondering what his mother was thinking, making him suffer every day.
When her father was alive, she would constantly complain to him. When he wouldn't listen, she would pretend to cry and whine, then turn around and tell herself how hard and sad she was.
He was told to make sure he pleased his father, because the Yun family's company would be his in the future, and no one else could take it from him.
Upon hearing this, he exclaimed that something was wrong. Why couldn't he just be a spoiled rich kid? Why did he have to compete with his father for that position at such a young age?
"Mom, what's wrong now?"
