The living room was enveloped in silence. Bei Sangyun had departed, leaving only the members of the fourth branch in the room. For a long time, no one spoke as they stared dazedly into the air, slowly digesting what had transpired moments ago.
After a considerable silence, Lin Sunji's stifled cries resounded.
She looked at her mother, distressed, "Mom, what if Bei Sangyun makes things difficult for me? She hates me... she will surely seek revenge on me."
Li Mei appeared visibly exhausted but still comforted her daughter, "If Bei Sangyun truly hated you and wanted to bring our family down, she would have done so. Instead, she came here and gave us a chance. If you can't trust her, trust in your brother."
