"Ah—" Yu Lingwei feigned surprise, but a fleeting glimmer of secret delight flashed in her eyes. Tears immediately welled up and streamed down her face as she pitifully cried, "Sister, you..."
She crouched down, slowly picking up the broken bracelet, and with a face full of grievance, she said to Yu Zhengtian behind her, "Dad, I'm sorry. The bracelet you gave me got broken..."
Yu Xue furrowed her brows, silently scoffing in her heart: This childish act has been played by Yu Lingwei for so many years; doesn't she ever get tired of it?
Seeing his beloved little daughter wronged, Yu Zhengtian felt a pang of sympathy: "Xiao Wei, Dad saw everything. It’s okay that it broke; I’ll buy you another one..." Only then did Yu Lingwei stop crying, her face beaming with a triumphant expression.
However, upon noticing his eldest daughter nearby, Yu Zhengtian's expression instantly turned cold as he scolded her harshly, "Stop embarrassing me and go back to your room!"
He then turned to the person behind him and awkwardly smiled, "Yunran, I apologize for the scene."
The man sitting on the sofa maintained a polite smile as he replied to Yu Zhengtian, "Uncle Yu, you’re too kind." From the moment Yu Xue entered the room, his gaze had been firmly fixed on her without a moment's distraction. So this is Yu Xue...
Yu Xue kept her lips pressed together, not uttering a word in defense. She knew that no matter how she explained herself, her father would unhesitatingly side with Yu Lingwei. A wave of bitterness and pain surged within her heart.
In the end, she silently opened the door and walked out, her back appearing somewhat desolate and lonely.
As Yu Xue left, although her expression remained calm and indifferent like a still lake, her eyes were filled with endless sorrow, as if shrouded by a layer of gloom.
Ling Yunran observed this scene with slightly furrowed brows, a hint of unnoticeable concern and confusion flashing in his gaze.
As soon as Yu Xue pushed open the door to the lounge, the laughter and chatter inside came to an abrupt halt.
She had not expected to find others here, and for a moment, she felt a bit awkward, like a startled fawn. Once she recognized the people seated inside, she anxiously called out to one of the middle-aged men, "Dad."
The smile that had been on the man's face vanished the instant he saw her, replaced by a cold indifference as he merely acknowledged her with a brief response before returning to his conversation with those around him, as if she were nothing more than air.
Yu Xue had long grown accustomed to her father's neglect; in his eyes, she was just an inconsequential stranger. Lowering her gaze, she clenched her fists tightly, her nails nearly digging into her palms as she prepared to leave this suffocating place.
"Wait, sis!" Yu Lingwei hurried over, waving her right hand in front of Yu Xue's eyes and boasting, "Look at this Cartier bracelet! Isn’t it beautiful?"
It was a newly released limited edition bracelet from Cartier, sparkling brilliantly against Yu Lingwei's fair wrist, making it all the more eye-catching.
Yu Xue offered a perfunctory nod.
Yu Lingwei was the illegitimate daughter of their father. Despite her mother’s strong objections, even after Yu Lingwei's birth mother tragically passed away in an accident, she could only be raised outside.
It wasn't until their mother died that their father brought Yu Lingwei home, showering her with affection and allowing her to bask in the spotlight of his love.
After all, Yu Lingwei was the child of their father's most beloved woman, while Yu Xue was merely the product of a business marriage—naturally less favored and cherished by him.
As for Yu Xue's indifference, Yu Lingwei dismissed it with a hint of disdain that only Yu Xue could perceive. "This is a birthday gift from Dad. I took it off to show you."
Finding a secluded corner, tears streamed down Yu Xue's face like a flood breaking through a dam.
She did not blame her father for his heartlessness towards their mother, but why couldn't he show even a little love and care for his own daughter? Just a bit…
Hearing the faint footsteps behind her, Yu Xue quickly wiped away the tears lingering at the corners of her eyes and forced a slightly bitter smile. "Fu Nantian, have you been gone so long that you've emptied my family's restaurant?"
The person behind her remained silent, which puzzled Yu Xue. She slowly turned around.
The moonlight poured down like water, illuminating the ground but only revealing a vague, tall silhouette. She couldn't make out the person's face. As he stepped closer, the man's chiseled features gradually came into focus.
Yu Xue was taken aback, her expression filled with wariness. "Who are you?"
The man wore a faint smile, his tone teasing as he replied, "Miss Yu, have you forgotten me so quickly?"
