But the significance of this was immense.
At that time, she didn’t know that Ni Yang was her sister.
At that time, they were as close as sisters.
...
Even after the last major fallout, Ni Yang didn’t take off the bracelet. But this time...
Wu Yanyun couldn’t quite describe how she felt.
Was she the one who was wrong?
But it clearly wasn’t her fault!
Was being discarded also a mistake?
"Let’s go," said Mo Qishen as he took Ni Yang’s hand, but in an instant, he reverted to his usual cheerful demeanor.
It’s as if the man radiating hostility was nothing but an illusion.
Wu Yanyun watched their retreating backs, unable to get up from the ground for a long time.
"Ni Yang!" Wu Yanyun shouted, "What are you worth without the Zheng family? If the one thrown away were you, I would be you now!"
"You’re mistaken," Ni Yang glanced back slightly, "Without the Zheng family, I would still be me. And if the one thrown away were me and not you, then you wouldn’t necessarily be you."
Everything Ni Yang had was earned through her own abilities. She had never relied on anyone.
Even in her previous life, when she became the famous entrepreneur Miss Ni, she never depended on anybody.
The word "rely" wasn’t in her dictionary.
Considering Wu Yanyun’s current situation, she might not have the fortitude that Ni Yang possessed.
"Compared to me, you’re living in paradise."
Compared to Ni Yang, Wu Yanyun was incredibly fortunate.
At least she had parents who loved her, and in times of turmoil, a sister to protect her.
Yet she failed to cherish it.
In a past life, when Ni Yang was deep in the mire, she wished dearly for a benefactor to reach down and pull her up.
But there were none.
It took her a full ten years to climb to a future of success.
Wu Yanyun had no right to speak of fairness now.
Having said that, Ni Yang walked away, arm in arm with Mo Qishen.
Wu Yanyun lay on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Yanyun?" Just then, a familiar voice sounded overhead.
"Sister Jiaojiao?" Wu Yanyun’s voice was hoarse.
Du Jiaojiao quickly helped Wu Yanyun to her feet, "What happened? Who bullied you?"
"Nothing," Wu Yanyun hastily wiped away her tears, "I just fell down by accident."
In her panic, Wu Yanyun glanced behind Du Jiaojiao.
Thank goodness.
Thank goodness Grandfather Du wasn’t there.
If Grandfather Du saw her in such a wretched state, she wouldn’t have the face to see him again.
Du Jiaojiao continued, "Are you really okay? Oh, I was about to go find Yangyang, do you want to come with me?"
Wu Yanyun’s expression darkened momentarily, shaking her head, "I have something else to do, so I won’t go."
"Oh," nodded Du Jiaojiao, "but are you really okay?"
Seeing Wu Yanyun in such an unusual state, Du Jiaojiao was a bit worried.
"I’m really fine," Wu Yanyun looked at Du Jiaojiao, adding, "Sister Jiaojiao, Ni Yang is two-faced and isn’t worth getting close to. Be careful not to be deceived by her."
After saying that, Wu Yanyun turned and walked away.
Du Jiaojiao stared at Wu Yanyun’s retreating figure, taking a moment to process the situation. What was going on?
Hadn’t Wu Yanyun and Ni Yang been on good terms before?
"If it weren’t for Yangyang’s financial support, could our construction company have even started?" Wu Jinshu couldn’t stand it any longer, "Don’t forget who helped you get where you are! Xiaoyun, we have to have a conscience as human beings!" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Without Ni Yang’s guidance and help, Wu Jinshu’s construction company would not have been able to make any money, even if it had been established.
Wu Yanyun was an honest person, and he was well aware of his own limitations.
Yan Erju continued, "If you truly want to sever ties with Yangyang, then go be a stepmother to Wu Qiang’s two children right now! Then we can go live in that dilapidated little house! You must have forgotten about the hard times after living so well for too long!"
Wu Yanyun’s mind went ’boom’.
She couldn’t understand why everyone was speaking up for Ni Yang.
Even her adoptive parents were the same.
Was it just because Ni Yang had money that everyone was trying to curry favor with her?
Or was it because she wasn’t their biological child, so they didn’t really care about her?
Wu Yanyun felt her life was like a joke.
She’d always been living in deception.
Seeing Wu Yanyun like this, Yan Erju sighed, "Xiaoyun, stop being so stubborn. Yangyang is a sister that’s hard to come by; you should treasure her. Listen to your mother, the bond between sisters only comes once; there is no next life."
"Does she deserve to be a sister? Why does everyone take her side! Just because she has money, because I am not your biological child?" Wu Yanyun turned to look at Yan Erju.
Yan Erju was stunned, her eyes reddening as she looked at Wu Yanyun.
She had always treated Wu Yanyun as her own daughter and never expected Wu Yanyun to say such a thing.
"What are you saying! Your mother has been so good to you, when did she ever not treat you as her own?" Wu Jinshu also got angry because of Wu Yanyun’s words.
"I am your daughter! Why do you always speak for Ni Yang? If you like Ni Yang so much, why did you pick me up in the first place? Go acknowledge Ni Yang as your daughter!"
Rather than enduring these pains, it would have been better if they’d let her die back then!
Why let her live like this?
Wu Yanyun, too angry to care, was just saying things she found satisfying and didn’t realize how hurtful her words were.
Yan Erju looked at Wu Yanyun, and tears flowed down like rain.
Seventeen years ago, when Wu Yanyun was picked up, she had been so tiny...
A baby fusses at night in the first month and needs to be fed several times. She didn’t have breast milk, so in the dead of winter, she had to get up to feed her several times each night. It was not easy for her to raise the baby.
She could never have imagined that one day Wu Yanyun would blame her for having picked her up in the first place.
