Shi Nian’s words made everyone laugh.

Hai Hua couldn’t help but tease, “Oh, stop. You’re so mushy I can’t stand it anymore! Shi Nian, I never took you for such a sap! Does your rry gang of friends know this about you?”

“What’s this got to do with them? She’s my wife; if I don’t protect her, who will?” Shi Nian retorted.

‘ Ugh, he’s so sappy,’ the group collectively thought.

Xiao Zhao laughed. “Let’s not talk to him anymore. This guy will only feed us more lovey-dovey talk.”

Yun Nan looked at Shi Nian gratefully. He’d stepped in to defend her and helped her to such an extent. She was truly very grateful to him. Shi Nian t her gaze and smiled at her. To others, his eyes were filled with doting love.

Mai Fen gently nodded and said, “Yun Nan, although you’ve had a difficult and unfortunate life, you’ve also t good people. Your adoptive parents were good people, and things have gotten better for you. It’s clear that you’re very happy now.”

Shi Xiu interjected, “Our movie ‘4:30 P.M.’ is based on Yun Nan’s adoptive mother’s real-life story. Ms. Mai, I highly recomnd you watch it when this reality show has finished. I played the lead actress in it!”

Shi Xiu patted her chest proudly as she said that before she lowered her voice and begged, “After you’ve watched the movie, can you call in private and tell which parts I could’ve done better and give so pointers?” She put her hands together in a pleading gesture and gave Mai Fen puppy dog eyes, looking cute and funny.

Mai Fen chuckled and replied, “I’ll definitely watch your movie! However, I’m no expert, so I can’t say I’ll have any pointers to give you, but we can discuss it privately.”

“Okay! That sounds great!” Shi Xiu uttered, overjoyed.

She turned around and saw Yun Liu—she was green with envy—and deliberately said, “By the way, before I joined the crew, I heard Yun Liu’s movie, ‘Cozyin Love,’ was also written by Yun Nan. Is that true, Yun Nan?”

Yun Nan knew Shi Xiu brought this up to give her a chance to clarify herself.

She lightly stated, “No, that’s not my work. I only directed docuntaries when

I was at Yun Entertainnt. I didn’t leave any unfinished scripts at the Yun

Corporation when I left. I didn’t work with them after that either.”

Shi Xiu looked at Yun Liu. “Then, why did you and your company advertise it as

Yun Nan’s work, Yun Liu? That’s not okay.”

Shi Xiu was skilled at disguising her razor-sharp comnts within normal banter, and it was only then that everyone realized that though she was cute and sweet, Shi Xiu wasn’t stupid.

Yun Liu silently put down her chopsticks and started to cry. Le Chao couldn’t bear seeing her cry, so he gently asked, “Hey, what’s wrong? We’re just talking, so what’s with the waterworks?”

He didn’t quite understand what was happening; he hadn’t caught on to Yun Liu’s tricks, so he had a good impression of her and thought she was a well-behaved girl. Whereas Shi Xiu seed a little aggressive to him. Le Chao didn’t like that Shi Xiu was bullying Yun Liu just because she had her brother and sister-in-law there to support her.

Seeing Yun Liu’s distress, Le Chao offered her an out. “You didn’t know about this, did you, Yun Liu?”

Yun Liu nodded aggrievedly. “I really don’t know about these things. I heard from my brother that Yun Nan originally had a script agreent with the company, but the issue was dropped after she left to establish her own studio. I don’t know why they’re saying Yun Nan wrote the movie. I—I was only responsible for acting the role assizned to .”

Shi Nian made to speak, but Yun Nan placed her hand on his, indicating she could do it herself. She placed a piece of pork rib on the plate in front of Yun Liu before stating with a calm and slightly jovial tone, “So you didn’t know about the agreent I have with the Yun Corporation? No wonder your manager sent soone to look for two days ago. She wanted to arrange a role for you in my new movie.”

Yun Liu’s expression paled. “That’s impossible!” she blurted.

Yun Nan smiled and unhurriedly said, “You can ask Mom if you don’t believe . She’s the one who ca to on Tan Ning’s behalf.”

“You’re lying! My manager would never have asked you for resources! I don’t need your help!” Yun Liu snapped.

Yun Nan smiled. “So, what are you saying? I’m getting mixed signals here. Am I a part of the Yuns or not?”

Yun Liu was stumped. She’d put herself in a difficult situation; she wanted people to think Yun Nan and the Yun Corporation were one big family, but she also wanted to establish an image that had nothing to do with Yun Nan. She didn’t want people to say she only succeeded because of Yun Nan. In the end, Yun Nan managed to put her on the spot. Yun Liu’s face reddened in shad anger.

Yun Nan didn’t push Yun Liu too far; having made her point, she ignored her. The others weren’t stupid; they understood the implications, spoken and unspoken. However, they were all people of status, and it wouldn’t do to allow the atmosphere to remain so awkward, so they decided to break tensions by calling out to each other with comnts such as, “Co on, let’s eat!”

“Oh my, you should try this. It’s delicious! ”

The group had worked hard the entire morning and were extrely hungry, and Yun Nan’s culinary skills were impeccable. None of them were willing to cause trouble when they had delicious food before them.

Moreover, from the way things look currently, it was obvious Yun Liu was trying to pick a fight, and it just so happened that she was the unreasonable party. Everyone was already showing her great kindness by pretending ignorance and being “indifferent” to the whole thing instead of ganging up and attacking her..
