240 Frightened
The very next day, at 6 a.m., Shen Ruojing was already awake.
She always woke up at this time to practice taichi. This was a part of her retirement life that she would never ignore. Exercising for her health was imperative after she retired.
After finishing up, she decided to return to her room to take a shower because she was sweating.
Just when she went up to the second floor, she saw Yun Yiheng having an extremely dark expression with a cup of coffee in his hand. After seeing Shen Ruojing, he immediately frowned.
Recently, he had been waking up early and burning the midnight oil for the sake of repairing the [Coldness of Plum Blossoms], and it had been a few days since he last had a good sleep. This was why his temper was very explosive during the morning.
This was especially so after he thought of how Chu Tianye had gone to deliver the ointment to Wen Yuyi last night. He then laughed coldly and said, “Oi.”
Shen Ruojing directly walked toward her room, ignoring him.
Seeing this, Yun Yiheng grew even more enraged, and he directly blocked Shen Ruojing. “Didn’t you hear that I’m speaking to you?”
Shen Ruojing lifted her eyebrows and smiled at him. “My name isn’t ‘oi’, if you can’t remember my name, you can call me ‘cousin.”
“…” Yi Yunheng was stumped. But after that, he angrily continued, “Cousin? I didn’t acknowledge a cousin like you! Let me tell you this, I’ve seen your true colors. You are fawning at my elder sister on the surface, but you still sent medicinal ointment to Wen Yuyi behind our backs. For a two-faced person like you, you best stay away from my elder sister in the future, or don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Shen Ruojing. “?”
She directly crossed her arms and lifted her chin. “Show me how you are going to be rude to me.”
Yun Yiheng saw that after he had unmasked her hypocrisy, she even acted like she was the righteous one. Hence, he shouted in rage, “How can there be no change to your expression? You secretly went to curry favor with Wen Yuyi behind our backs. Don’t you feel that you’ve let down my elder sister? You…”
Before he could finish speaking, a shrill scream rang out from Wen Yuyi’s room. After that, Wen Yuyi rushed out.
Yun Yiheng turned and was stunned after he saw Wen Yuyi.
As for Shen Ruojing, she lifted her brows in surprise and almost whistled.
Wen Yuyi was clutching her face as she angrily howled, “SHEN RUO JING, Compensate me for my face!!!”
Ten minutes later.
Downstairs, Wen Yuyi was sobbing non-stop. “Uncle, you have to help me out. I initially trusted Miss Shen, and I didn’t expect her to harm me!”
Yun Zhengyang speechlessly stared at her face.
Yesterday, her face might be swollen from the injuries, but she could still meet people. But today, those bruises had worsened. The original shallow bruises had turned black!
The bruises were completely swollen, causing her entire face to be contorted into something frightening.
Yun Zhengyang knew about the matter between Wen Yuyi and Yun Wei. Hence, he thought that Shen Ruojing had acted like this because of their issue.
Wen Yuyi looked even uglier after crying, causing Yun Zhengyang to have no way to look at her straight. He heard her mumbling, “Uncle, the quarrel on the filming set yesterday was between Brother Nanyin and Little Wei. It has nothing to do with me. I’ve always been persuading Brother Nanyin not to go too overboard! How could Shen Ruojing do this to me?!”
Yun Zhengyang inhaled deeply and looked at Yun Wei. He said, “Little Wei, apologize to Yuyi on behalf of your cousin.”
Yun Wei looked at Wen Yuyi’s face and stifled her laughter.
Ever since she was young, she had been forced to apologize to Wen Yuyi many times. But this was the first time she was apologizing so willingly.
She stood up and just when she was about to speak, Shen Wanxian interjected, “This matter has nothing to do with Little Wei. I think it’s because my younger sister Shen Qianhui views me with hostility, right?”
Shen Wanxian’s eyes turned red and looked at both Shen Qianhui and Shen Ruojing. “I know that as mother’s biological daughter, you felt very unbearable for being sent away while I received many benefits as the adopted daughter. Hence, you are psychologically unbalanced and don’t wish to see me, hating me in your heart. I can understand all that. But, if you want to do anything, you can always target me. Why are you targeting Yuyi? How can she meet anyone with her current appearance?!”
Today, Qian Nanyin would come to the Yun Manor to annul the marriage engagement while planning to gloriously propose to Wen Yuyi. However, now that Wen Yuyi’s appearance had become like this, how could she meet anyone at all?!
Yun Zhengyang knew that Shen Wanxian didn’t plan to resolve this matter easily after hearing her words.
He then narrowed his eyes and asked, “What do you want to do then?”
Shen Wanxian lowered her eyelids, “I don’t intend to do anything to younger sister. But in order to prevent similar things from happening again, she should move out before the people from the Bai Family pay a visit.”
Hearing this, Yun Zhengyang frowned and said, “This place is her home!”
Shen Wanxian continued, “Elder Brother, I’m only suggesting this for the good of the Yun Family. Shen Ruojing clearly knows that the Bai Family will visit us in three days, yet she did such a thing to Yuyi’s face. What if she has a dispute with someone from the Bai Family? What can we do then?”
