Yun Tingyan gripped his phone, his face alternating between pale and flushed, his anger threatening to consume him entirely.
Song Yun, noticing his fluctuating expression, couldn't help but ask, "Honey, what's wrong?"
"Hmph!"
Yun Tingyan let out a heavy, cold snort. "That ungrateful girl hung up on me! Let her be; I'll see how long she can keep up this tough act."
Song Yun opened her mouth to say something, but the image of Yu Tingwan, who bore such a striking resemblance to her, flashed through her mind, and she felt a pang of sympathy. "But Wanwan is all alone in Yunjing, doesn't know anyone, and has no money. If something happens to her, what will we do?"
With a bang, Yun Tingyan slammed his hand on the sofa. "If something happens, it's her own fault!"
Seeing Yun Tingyan's resolute attitude, Song Yun sighed softly, saying nothing further.
Yu Tingwan was indeed her biological daughter, but this temperament...
Well, let it be a lesson to temper her arrogance.
She had no one to turn to; she would soon come back to them, obediently.
Such spoiled behavior wasn't good; she was like a porcupine, lacking the grace of a lady.
"By the way, arrange for Mingxuan to meet with Wanwan after he returns from abroad."
Upon hearing this, Song Yun hesitated. "But Wanwan has so many flaws. What if Mingxuan isn't satisfied with her?"
Yun Tingyan scoffed. "Now that Mingyu has caught the eye of Si Family's Fourth Master, how dare the He family compete with the Si Family? Besides, our engagement with the He family is non-negotiable."
They possessed something the He family desperately needed.
And they needed the He family's financial support.
Thinking of this, Yun Tingyan's expression softened as he looked at Yun Mingyu and smiled. "Mingyu, you must hold onto Si Family's Fourth Master tightly."
Even if Yun Mingyu wasn't his biological daughter, what did it matter? The Yun family had raised her for over twenty years, and she had always been outstanding. Now, she had caught Si Yanchen's attention.
Although Si Yanchen had a dubious reputation and was known for his cunning and ruthlessness, which made the Si family wary of him.
But the fact that he had given Mingyu a dress and paid her extra attention meant that Si Yanchen saw her differently!
The thought of Si Yanchen's handsome face made Yun Mingyu's ears flush.
Despite Si Yanchen's disabilities and bad temper, he was powerful, wealthy, and influential, sought after by many.
Yun Mingyu smiled gently, softly assuring, "Dad, don't worry, I will."
After returning to her room, Yun Mingyu couldn't help but smile wider, her eyes brimming with pride.
What could that country bumpkin Yu Tingwan possibly do against her? Everything in the Yun family belonged to her! Living in the Yun family villa, with everything she could ever want, Yu Tingwan must be huddled under some bridge, shivering in the night breeze right now?
Ha.
Who did that country bumpkin think she was, being so high and mighty, suffering for the sake of her pride!
Once she firmly won Si Family's Fourth Master's heart, even if Yu Tingwan were truly recognized by the Yun family, she would forever be beneath her!
---
In the second villa of Jing Shui Xianju.
Si Yanchen sat on the sofa, exuding a cold aura, his deep gaze fixed on the computer screen before him.
Master Si, this is Miss Yu and all her information."
Sun Cheng approached respectfully, presenting the documents with both hands to Si Yanchen.
This was the information he had gathered non-stop after returning.
Si Yanchen took the documents, glanced at the information, and his expression grew increasingly grim. After a long pause, he finally sneered, "Good, very good."
His eyes were filled with layers of killing intent, making Sun Cheng dare not breathe audibly. Still, he cautiously spoke softly, "Master Si, should we take action against the Yu family..."
"Dare you?"
Si Yanchen's cold voice cut him off directly: "Didn't she say I don't need to meddle?"
Though he yearned to teach those two blind fools from the Yu family a lesson, the look in Yu Tingwan's eyes made him suppress the thought.
If he interfered, she would likely never speak to him again.
Thinking of this, Si Yanchen felt restless.
He tugged at his collar irritably and asked in a low voice, "How is the investigation into the God of Medicine going?"
Sun Cheng's expression turned serious: "Master Si, we still haven't found any information. We've checked today's list of people entering and leaving Chongyun Pavilion, but there were no suspicious individuals."
Pausing, Sun Cheng added mysteriously, "However, the most suspicious person today... was Miss Yu."
He didn't dare speak loudly and immediately lowered his head, avoiding Si Yanchen's gaze.
Si Yanchen's face briefly turned cold before he shook his head indifferently, "It's not her."
He first noticed the God of Medicine on a medical forum.
At that time, a mysterious figure solved all the difficult medical puzzles on the forum, providing well-reasoned answers, showcasing an extremely solid medical foundation. Some doctors不服and debated fiercely with her for hundreds of rounds, ultimately being convinced by her expertise.
The reputation of the God of Medicine began on that forum.
Later, the God of Medicine participated in several critical surgeries, pulling patients nearly declared dead by hospitals back from the brink, thus gaining widespread fame. The name of the God of Medicine spread far and wide.
Yet, no one had ever seen their true appearance, nor knew their name or age.
Judging by the God of Medicine's profound medical knowledge, it was highly probable they were over fifty years old.
Yu Tingwan was too young and too restless to fit the profile.
Si Yanchen couldn't imagine her diligently studying medical books.
She couldn't sit still.
Thinking of Yu Tingwan made him feel even more agitated.
He glanced at the lit villa across the way, hoping to spot her inside, but saw nothing.
Living in the No. 1 villa of Jing Shui Xianju either required immense status or great wealth.
Si Yanchen knew she belonged to the latter category.
After all, when she left him, she could casually write checks worth millions.
During the three years she "supported" him, everything she gave him was of considerable value.
Wanwan...
What exactly is your status? As he recalled the information he had gathered about Yu Tingwan,
Si Yanchen's gaze grew increasingly somber.
From what he had discovered, Yu Tingwan was nothing more than an ordinary person.
She had grown up in the countryside from childhood, dropped out of high school before graduation, and during her school years, she was known for getting into fights, making her a notorious troublemaker.
However, after dropping out, there were only sparse records of her.
Either her life lacked noteworthy events, or... her records had been sealed, making them untraceable by others.
Clearly, Yu Tingwan belonged to the latter category.
