Zheng Xiu frowned and looked at Yun Liu. “I’m very sorry about this, dear child. It’s all my fault; your aunties bully me around because I’m too incapable, and now they’ve pushed this mess onto you to clean up.”

Yun Liu reassuringly patted Zheng Xiu’s hand. “Don’t worry about it, Mom. I’ll handle it. But…” Yun Xiu let her sentence trail off, looking awkwardly at Zheng

Xiu.

‘What’s wrong?” Zheng Xiu hurriedly asked.

“Mom, half of those media reporters were hired by me. We even had our people prepare news articles for them to publish after they received money from us.

It’s a mutually beneficial deal. But now that they’ve discovered such juicy news, if we don’t want them to publish it, it’ll naturally—I‘

“Money isn’t a problem! Don’t worry about the cost; just do what you have to. As long as you can keep this matter hushed up, your Aunt Bai Jie won’t hesitate to give you however much money you want,” Zheng Xiu told her daughter as she patted the hand Yun Liu had placed over hers.

Yun Liu understood. “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll get everything sorted out.”

Zheng Xiu nodded, looking very gratified. Something else occurred to Yun Liu, and she informed her mother, “Mom, Yun Nan is now Great Uncle Gu Bei and

Great Aunt Chen Yao’s granddaughter.”

“Yeah, it seems you two are destined to be sisters!” Zheng Xiu replied.

Yun Liu bit her lip and uttered, “I heard that Great Aunt Chen Yao plans to give all their assets to Yun Nan.”

Zheng Xiu was shocked. “That can’t be! Yun Nan is just an adopted daughter…”

On second thought, Yun Liu was also the Yun family’s adopted daughter, but

the Yun family still gave Yun Liu an entire company!

Zheng Xiu quickly tried to reassure herself and her daughter, stating, ‘Yun Nan’s circumstances are different from yours. The Yun family raised you, whereas Yun Nan—even her adoptive mother hadn’t grown up by Uncle Gu Bei and Aunt Chen Yao’s side. So what if she’s their biological daughter? They’d only had a few years together before she went missing, and they didn’t even get to see each other before she died. They’re nearly strangers, and Yun Nan is even more so, being unrelated as she is. Aunt and Uncle couldn’t possibly give all their assets to her!”

Yun Liu said, “But Great Aunt Chen Yao said it herself. I hear she dotes on Yun Nan very much. It’s obvious from how protective Great Aunt was over Shi Xiu that her heart is biased towards the Shi family and Yun Nan.”

Zheng Xiu pondered her words before saying, “Never mind. Let’s just wait and see. Far be it for us to worry about this matter. Let your two aunties handle it; they’re probably already quite anxious about the issue. We’ll benefit in the end, anyway.”

Yun Liu stared at her mother, puzzled. Zheng Xiu lowered her voice and whispered, “Your Aunt Chang Hui plans to have your great-uncle adopt Gu He. That way, Gu He will become a member of the Gu main family, and he’ll naturally be able to inherit your great uncle’s inheritance in the future!” “But Gu He is the only boy in our family!” Yun Liu exclaimed, shocked.

Zheng Xiu shot her a reproachful look. “I’m the one who gave birth to Gu He, so with me around, who do you think he’ll be close to? Despite your Aunt Chang Hui keeping him by her side, even she can’t snatch my son away from me, let alone your great-aunt and -uncle.”

“Yun Liu, although you didn’t grow up by my side, you resemble me the most out of all my children. I’m entrusting your brother to you from now on. You two should look out for each other; if he’s doing well, then you’ll have someone to rely on in the family, and if you do well, he’ll have support out there. Your dad and I can rest assured so long as you two siblings stand united.”

Yun Liu nodded. “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll take good care of my little brother.”

Zheng Xiu nodded in satisfaction. “Your Aunt Chang Hui has always spoiled Gu He. That’s not a good thing for him. In the future, I will find an excuse for you to bring him out with you so you can help me slowly educate and advise him. You only have this one brother—this one person—to rely on. We can’t let him become a good-for-nothing playboy!”

Yun Liu was inwardly extremely thrilled at having this heart-to-heart with her mother and being entrusted with such an important task. Her anxieties about returning to the Gu family disappeared without a trace. She could now be considered to have a firm standing with her mother. As for her idiot sisters and cousins, they were nothing to worry about.

Yun Liu called Tan Ning over to discuss how to direct public opinion on Gu Fei’s issue.

“You’re trying to take advantage of this opportunity to fleece money from your aunt?” Tan Ning asked.

“Why not?” Yun Liu sneered. “What she cares about is her son’s reputation. That’s not something money can buy. I’m only asking for some money in return. If she doesn’t want to pay the price, then she can only watch as her precious son is ruined.”

Tan Ning hesitated. “But if she finds out you tricked her one day…”

Yun Liu rolled her eyes at Tan Ning. “Tan Ning, just pay the reporters and media companies more to say that that’s the price they’re asking for when someone asks. If they can’t even do that much, you should fire them and help me find other press companies. What’s the point of keeping them if they don’t even dare to take money when offered?”

Tan Ning got the message and smiled. “Understood! Don’t worry. We’ll get things done properly; we’ll hush up Young Master Gu Fei’s matter and have our publicity done spectacularly while we’re at it. From now on, our Yun Liu is the princess of the Yun and Gu families. We won’t lose to anyone in terms of status!”

Yun Liu felt pleased at that. “Pick out a few scripts for me,” she ordered. “It’s about time I joined a cast and performed.”
