Two days ago, An Yirou had already deleted the surveillance footage.
Knowing she'd done something shady, she'd been thorough, leaving no traces. Yun Zhiyi found nothing.
The Next Day
Yun Zhiyi continued to wander around the villa, discreetly relocating many of her valuable pieces of jewelry.
Her mother had left her a considerable collection of valuable jewelry, most of which had been misappropriated by Ding Mei due to Yun Zhiyi's young age and lack of control over her inheritance. After the family matriarch's stroke, the Yun family's old mansion had been left empty. Yun Zhiyi took advantage of this to retrieve her jewelry from the safe, hiding it in a secure spot at the old house.
Just as she returned and was heading upstairs, she heard a commotion coming from the second floor.
At the end of the hallway, An Yirou was clinging to Su Shen, half draped over him. "Brother Shen, are you really going to marry her? What about me?"
Su Shen, his face buried in her chest, seemed completely focused. "Don't worry, Yirou. I only love you. Yun Zhiyi's brain is damaged, so keeping her around is no threat to us for now."
An Yirou's voice turned sugary and pleading. "I don't care, just make sure you're with me on the day of the wedding."
"Alright…"
The hallway echoed with their flirtatious tones.
The two slowly made their way toward a room, undressing each other as they went.
Hiding in the shadows, Yun Zhiyi lowered her phone and uploaded the video she had recorded as a backup.
With this footage, airing it on the big screen during the wedding would cause an unforgettable scandal!
Feigning innocence, Yun Zhiyi tiptoed back downstairs.
Her phone rang—it was Yun Zhennan.
"Zhiyi, your Aunt Ding is in pain and showing signs of premature labor. The doctor says she needs to stay in the hospital, so I'll be staying with her for the next few days."
There was an underlying warning in his tone.
"Su Shen called me and said he'd be by to look after you. Don't mess up this marriage. Once you're married into the Su family, you'll be the happiest woman in the world."
"Oh, really?" Yun Zhiyi responded mildly.
There was a subtle hint of sarcasm in her tone.
He'd taken Su Shen's money, so of course, he'd say whatever would make him look good.
When had he ever truly cared about his daughter? His mind was always on Ding Mei and An Yirou—his bias was painfully obvious.
If she hadn't been lucky, she might already have been…
Yun Zhiyi saw it clearly now. Even if something had truly happened to her, her father wouldn't have lost a moment of sleep over it.
Oblivious to her feelings, Yun Zhennan continued as if he'd just thought of something.
"Oh, and one more thing. Your mother and I only had you, and we didn't want you to be lonely, which is why we brought Aunt Ding's daughter to live with us. It's been so many years, and Yirou has always been so understanding. As her older sister, you shouldn't act the way you did before. Treat her well."
"Your Aunt Ding and I discussed it—you don't have many friends, so we thought it would be nice for Yirou to be your bridesmaid at the wedding."
Yun Zhiyi countered immediately.
"No need. I'll make my own arrangements."
Hearing her immediate refusal, Yun Zhennan didn't insist. Instead, he shifted the topic. "Chairman Su just called. Tonight, there's a grand auction in Jin City, with all kinds of elites and influential people attending. He wants Su Shen to take you there to gain some experience, maybe even purchase a rare piece of jewelry as a wedding gift."
Chairman Su had transferred 300 million into Su Shen's account for the purpose and told him to go pick Yun Zhiyi up.
But Su Shen was still upstairs, entangled with An Yirou.
Finally, realizing it was time to go, Su Shen dressed up in a well-fitted suit.
"She must be back from the old mansion by now."
An Yirou clung to him, refusing to let go, and even left a prominent mark on his neck.
"Brother Shen, she already knows about us, even if she can't remember for now. Why should you worry if she finds out again…"
"Worry?" Su Shen sneered. "If I were worried, I wouldn't be with you. It's just that if she finds out, things might get… complicated."
The current Yun Zhiyi was unexpectedly obedient, almost endearing.
Su Shen seemed to have other plans in mind.
Marrying Yun Zhiyi and keeping her as a decoration at home wouldn't be a bad idea at all!
