Mica's back became even more hunched, and his cloudy old eyes dared not meet her gaze.
Yun Lian, they regretted that this baby was a girl, and Yun Xi didn't sound good, so they simply used Lian Xi.
But what's the difference between saying that and inserting a pulmonary tube?
“Lian… Little Lian, Mom is uneducated and doesn’t understand much. Your father passed away early, and he didn’t tell me.”
"If I'm not mistaken, you probably pity me for being a girl, causing you so much suffering, and therefore you dislike me as a result."
Whether someone cares or not can be gleaned from the meaning behind their name. Madam Yun, please, since Yun Jin has a bright future ahead of him, let him find a wife through his own abilities.
Yun Lian expressed her stance, and Huo Ye immediately followed suit.
"Butler, please show the guest out."
Yun Jin's scholarly pride prevented him from being driven away.
Yun Jin said angrily, "Yun Lian, you have disappointed me too much. Since you are so heartless, then I will pretend that I don't have a sister like you from now on."
Yun Jin pulled Yun Mu away, ignoring Yun Mu's hesitation.
"Mom, what are you still doing here? Yun Lian has long been blinded by greed. She doesn't acknowledge us anymore. What is there left for you to hold on to?"
Yun Lian retorted directly: "I was originally going to give you some face because you are family in name only."
Yun Jin, you're really asking for it!
You talk as if you're so high and mighty. I don't see you spending a single penny less of the money I sent you. Putting aside the money for her medical treatment, where did you spend the money I asked you to buy her nutritional supplements, clothes, and shoes?
She was dressed simply, but look at your outfit, it costs two or three thousand from head to toe, plus your latest phone, it must be over ten thousand. Are you trying to say you can earn that much money on a side job?
Using my money isn't ridiculous; what's ridiculous is using money while standing tall with lofty ideals, and then expecting me to beg you to use it. You're the one who wants it all.
The most valuable thing about a person is to know their own limitations. They should only use what they are capable of. Don't even mention getting married; even if you renovate your ancestral graves, it's none of my business.
After all, I wasn't included in your Yun family genealogy because I'm a girl, and you and your son have reminded me time and time again that there's no one like me in your Yun family.
"Before, I begged you to use my dirty money, but rest assured, it will never happen again. I wouldn't give it to a stray cat or dog on the street."
Overwhelmed by anger, Yun Jin blurted out her true feelings.
"Without your family's protection, who do you think will care about you? Yun Lian, you are truly pitiful, reduced to a plaything."
"If they kick you out again, don't come begging to me on your knees."
Yun Lian pointed to the gate and smiled faintly: "Don't worry, you shouldn't live to see that day."
Unable to stand it, Yun Jin soon dragged Yun Mu away and disappeared.
Huo Ye brought over hot milk and handed it to Yun Lian.
Don't be sad for people who aren't worth it.
Some people are healed by their childhood throughout their lives, while others spend their entire lives healing from their childhood.
I also had a tough time when I was young. Do you have time to listen to my story?
Yun Lian took the milk and sat down on the sofa with Huo Ye.
"I am all ears."
Huo Ye had unbuttoned several buttons of his shirt and was sprawled out on the sofa in a relaxed manner.
"My mother and father had an arranged marriage and were not happy. As a result, I was born out of wedlock."
My mother had a favorite poor scholar, who was her senior in school. He was a man of great talent, but fate was cruel, and he died during the time when my mother loved him the most.
They left indelible marks even in death.
The third year after my mother gave birth to me was the first anniversary of his death, and my mother chose to go to see him on the same day.
After my mother passed away, the old man started to come home more often and would find all sorts of people to teach me. I thought that studying would be the end, but three years after my mother's death, I met Huo Xi, who was also left behind by his mother.
It seems that from that day on, the whole world demanded that I grow up faster.
Family, school, company—everywhere is forcing me to stand on my own.
Without you, I think my life would have been rushed through like that.
Aside from making money, I seem to have no other value.
You see, I was very unfortunate before I met you, but fortunately, when I inherited the Huo family business, the old man also brought you into the Huo family. It was your appearance that brought a change to my life.
So...can I stay?
But he dared not say it.
He knew he had made too many mistakes.
Yun Lian also looked up at him seriously.
"Huo Ye, I'm actually very lucky to be able to come to the Huo family. In my family, I'm the older sister and I always have to give way to my younger brother."
Give the best food to your younger brother, give the best toys to your younger brother, and give him the opportunity to study.
No matter how much effort you put into that family, all you get in return is misunderstanding.
But it's different at the Huo family's house. No matter how busy you are, you'll still eat the lunch they send you.
I spent most of my time with Huo Xi, but he didn't play much.
Huo Ye, when I said I hoped you could be happy, I meant it.
Yun Lian looked at her phone; there was still no news from Song Zhu.
The two had just finished dinner and were planning to go see a movie when a phone call from the bureau summoned him away.
A short while later, she also received a call from Huo Ye.
Judging by the time, Song Zhu should be getting off work soon.
Yun Lian got up to take her leave.
"If I run into my mom and brother again in the future, I can just kick them out without paying any attention to them. They have long since cut ties with me and are just familiar strangers."
"Okay, I'll see you off. Don't worry, I'll come right back after I get you home."
"Okay, thank you."
Not long after Huo Ye and Yun Lian left, Huo Yuan appeared in the stairwell, staring blankly at the spot where Yun Lian had sat.
Could it really be a misunderstanding?
She wasn't the kind of person he imagined.
Huo Yuan stared at the match schedule in his hand and muttered, "Forget it, what's the point of whether it is or isn't? They won't have any contact with each other again anyway."
If it weren't for the need to return to compete, he would rather stay in a hotel than go home.

villa.
Yun Lian saw Huo Ye still standing downstairs, but pretended not to see him and continued to lie down.
She has a big order tomorrow: to prepare fresh flowers for the restaurant tables. She'll be busy with all of that by herself.
"Tongzi, remember to open the door for Song Zhu when he comes back. I'm so sleepy."
"Good host."
The small system is eager to try it out; it has never been to reality before and doesn't know what the door handle feels like.
Unfortunately, the small system didn't get a chance to open the door until the next day.
After Yun Lian sent Song Zhu a message to inquire, she resumed business as usual.
Restaurant.
When Yun Lian arrived, there were other florists at the restaurant besides her.
The requirements for the restaurant were varied; the flowers couldn't have a strong scent, and they had to complement the surrounding decor.
Yun Lian had just finished setting up the last table when she was suddenly bumped into by another florist.
Unfortunately, the scenario she had anticipated—Yun Lian falling and knocking over the dining table—did not occur.
Yun Lian then helped her up.
The boss's face was a mixture of shock and anger: "You, you, you, how could you..."
Yun Lian grabbed her hand tightly: "How come you didn't fall to the ground as you expected? Sorry, your little plan is probably going to fail."
The florist's face was more interesting than a spilled paint palette.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I just bumped into you by accident, there was no ulterior motive involved."
