Yun Shu Nian remained silent for a long time.
Yun Rong's heart skipped a beat, then she remembered Yun Shu Nian's ruthless demeanor and curled up in the corner again.
She was no longer sure if Yun Shu Nian was still the same weak fool.
"Yun Rong, you're quite bold. How dare you injure Mu Qi!" Yun Shu Nian's face was stern, so much like the volatile Mu Qi.
"Nian Nian, I'm sorry, Sister. I truly know I was wrong." Yun Rong cried softly, a stark contrast to the frantic Yun Rong from yesterday.
Yun Shu Nian pursed her lips. Yun Rong, in her panic, reached out to grab Yun Shu Nian's leg again.
But Yun Shu Nian immediately flung Yun Rong away.
"Sister, Sister will never do this again.
Sister, I am your sister. We are family. Please forgive me, Sister."
Seeing her pants soiled by Yun Rong, Yun Shu Nian immediately shook her off and slapped Yun Rong across the face.
A trickle of blood appeared at the corner of Yun Rong's mouth. She stared blankly at Yun Shu Nian, her hand covering her face.
Yun Shu Nian had truly changed. She was no longer the Yun Shu Nian that Yun Rong could easily manipulate.
When had this change begun? Yun Rong couldn't fathom it.
"You all come here." Yun Shu Nian turned, facing the men who had helped Yun Rong tie her up.
Upon hearing Yun Shu Nian's words, the men froze as if struck by acupuncture, trembling uncontrollably.
Although they operated on the fringes, the Mu family itself existed beyond the bounds of the law.
The men were naturally terrified.
"Madame Mu, have mercy and let us go.
It was that b*tch who deliberately framed us.
She knew we wouldn't dare to inform on you, yet she deliberately didn't reveal your identity when she hired us."
"So, if it wasn't me you were kidnapping, you would have acted without scruples?" Yun Shu Nian sneered at them.
The men realized they had spoken out of turn and trembled even more violently.
"It's not like that, Sister. I was innocent. They forced me to do it.
Sister, you have to believe me. How could I, who is so kind, possibly kidnap you?"
Hearing this, Yun Shu Nian suddenly turned to face Yun Rong: "Oh, my kind sister.
Wang Ya Feng lost her bracelet, that was your doing, wasn't it?
You arranged for me to dance on stage, didn't you?
You knew what was wrong with the fruit you gave me, didn't you?"
Yun Shu Nian's words struck Yun Rong's heart like bombs, one after another.
Yun Shu Nian: "What? Do you want me to list them one by one?"
Yun Shu Nian knew everything. How could this be! No wonder everything had gone so awry!
At this moment, Yun Rong completely abandoned the idea of begging Yun Shu Nian for mercy, her heart filled only with fear.
"Yun Shu Nian, if you dare to touch me, Mom and Dad will never let you off.
You useless b*tch, do you think a dance can change your image?
I'm telling you, to everyone, you're still that useless b*tch. No matter what, you'll always be that nobody who can't get on stage. You don't deserve Mu Qi at all!"
Yun Rong barked like a mad dog.
Suddenly, Yun Rong lunged towards Yun Shu Nian.
The Mu family bodyguards outside and the other men's hearts leaped.
However, to their surprise, Yun Shu Nian merely extended a hand and flung Yun Rong against the wall.
"My sister here hasn't had her fill of you all. You men, give her a good taste of what she deserves. If you do a good job, I'll let you go."
The men, receiving their orders, acted as if granted a pardon. They immediately unbuckled their belts and advanced towards Yun Rong.
Yun Rong cried out in terror and scrambled to escape, but she was quickly dragged back by the men.
"B*tch, this is what you get for framing us! It's all your own fault!" The men unleashed the fear they had endured over the past few days onto Yun Rong.
"Beasts, don't touch me." Yun Rong desperately tried to push away the rough hands that roamed over her.
However, upon hearing Yun Rong's words, the men became even more violent towards her.
"You damn b*tch, how dare you speak like that! Do I have to stuff your mouth before you learn to shut up?"
A man raised his hand and roughly slapped Yun Rong's delicate, carefully tended face. Then he had someone pin down her struggling arms.
...
Meanwhile, Yun Shu Nian had already left. She brushed off the dirt from her clothes and entered a restaurant to pack food for Mu Qi.
However, when Yun Shu Nian rushed to the hospital, Shan Gong had collapsed on the floor, and the sound of an argument could be heard from the ward.
Yun Shu Nian quickly checked on Shan Gong and found that he was merely asleep. She immediately opened the ward door.
Inside, the ward was littered with broken glass from fallen cups. A nurse stood trembling not far from Mu Qi, looking both terrified and unwilling to leave.
Yun Shu Nian's brows furrowed: "Mu Qi, what happened?"
"Where did you go?" Mu Qi's expression was unreadable.
"To get food." Yun Shu Nian held up the porridge in her hand.
Mu Qi stepped forward, reaching for it, but Yun Shu Nian immediately stopped him.
Yun Shu Nian: "Don't move."
Mu Qi frowned but remained still.
Yun Shu Nian then turned to the nurse: "I'm sorry, don't be afraid, it's alright."
The nurse nodded with difficulty.
Yun Shu Nian then handed the porridge to the nurse: "Could you please hold this for me?"
The nurse took it, and Yun Shu Nian picked up the dustpan and broom standing in the corner to begin cleaning the glass shards on the floor.
"Don't move, I'll do it." Mu Qi looked at the fragments on the floor, worried about Yun Shu Nian getting hurt.
"No." Yun Shu Nian refused without hesitation. Mu Qi was injured in the shoulder.
By the time Yun Shu Nian had cleared all the debris, Mu Qi immediately walked towards her.
But Yun Shu Nian ignored Mu Qi and turned to the nurse standing nearby, taking the meal box from her.
"Are you alright? Did he bully you?" Yun Shu Nian looked at the nurse's disheveled hair and her obviously frightened expression, easily guessing the truth.
Mu Qi stood behind Yun Shu Nian, tense like a child who had made a mistake.
But Mu Qi wasn't afraid that Yun Shu Nian would hit or scold him. He was afraid that once Yun Shu Nian truly saw him, she would dislike him.
"No, no." The nurse backed away repeatedly.
Today, their hospital director had received a call from the Mayor of the Imperial Capital. The nurse naturally knew Mu Qi's identity was extraordinary.
How could she dare to provoke such an important figure?
Yun Shu Nian, however, saw through the nurse's fear at a glance.
Yun Shu Nian turned to face Mu Qi: "Mu Qi, you scared her. We should apologize when we scare someone."
Yun Shu Nian's expression was serious.
