Yun Zhang reflexively said, "Don't worry about it. Shi Nian won't get the wrong idea about Yun Nan. Didn't you hear him come forward and stand up for her?"
'Darn it,' Yun Liu thought. She blinked her eyes, and tears flowed down her cheeks once more as she asked Yun Zhang entreatingly, "Yun Zhang, does Shi Nian truly not want me anymore? Yun Liu, she—Shi Nian and I, we're the ones who grew up together…" Yun Liu covered her mouth, and Yun Zhang could hear her repressed sobs.
Gu Wei felt like her heart was about to break. She went forward, wrapped her arms around Yun Liu, and comforted her, "Don't cry, sweetheart, don't cry. Don't worry! We'll visit the Shi family tomorrow and sort this out. We'll demand Old Master Shi take a stand. He can't keep letting Shi Nian act out like this! We'll make it clear that our family wishes to marry you to Shi Nian and not Yun Nan! Darling, don't cry. Mommy and Daddy are here for you!"
