Chapter 172 How Can Your Heart Be So Cold-Blooded?
Yun Wei said with amusement, "Yun Yao, you've hurt your face, not your brain. Don't you understand who your sister-in-law is talking about?"

Yun Yao clenched her fists tightly. That bitch!

"Sister-in-law, take Xia'er inside first," Yunwei suddenly said to Qi Shi, who was standing to the side.

Qi nodded and led Xia-jie inside first.

"Auntie, come in quickly, I've saved your favorite chicken leg for you." Before entering the door, Xia Jie called out to Yun Wei.

Yun Wei smiled and said, "Okay."

Upon seeing this, Yun Yao felt jealousy and resentment.

That little rascal, she treated her with all her heart, but she never once gave her a chicken leg to eat.

And that bitch Yun Wei, who rarely returns to the Yun family and whom Xia Jie'er has only seen a few times, has been won over in such a short time.

"Yun Yao, it seems you've forgotten the lesson I taught you last time?" At this moment, Yun Wei's gaze turned to Yun Yao's face.

Although Yun Yao's facial injuries had long since healed, they still left faint scars, so she had to cover her face with a veil whenever she went out.

Upon hearing Yunwei mention it, her eyes flashed with venom as she said viciously, "Yunwei, you treated me so cruelly, you will suffer a terrible death."

Yun Wei sneered, "A person as vicious and despicable as you deserves to die a horrible death. If you want revenge on me, come at me directly. To instigate a child, you really have guts."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Yun Yao's gaze flickered away upon hearing this.

"You really don't know? Don't blame me for not warning you. If you do something so despicable again, it won't just be your face that gets hurt." Yun Wei's warning voice was cold.

Yun Yao's pupils contracted as the scene of her face being slashed flashed before her eyes once again.

She took a step back in alarm.

Why aren't you going in yet?

At that moment, Yun Yueshan's voice suddenly rang out from behind the two of them.

Yun Yao's eyes flashed, and she suddenly clutched her stomach and squatted down. "Sister, I didn't even hold it against you for scratching my face last time, so why do you always make things difficult for me? What did you do to me? My stomach hurts so much..."

As they were talking, Yunyue Mountain had already approached.

Seeing her squatting on the ground with a pained expression, she quickly reached out and helped her up. "Yaoyao, what's wrong?"

Yun Yao shook her head and said with a wry smile, "It's not my sister's fault. I was ignorant before and offended her. It's only right that she wants to take revenge on me."

Yun Yueshan was taken aback and looked at Yun Wei with suspicion, "The injury Yao Yao suffered on her face last time, was it you who scratched her?"

Yun Wei ignored him and looked at Yun Yao as if she were watching a clown. "It seems you didn't listen to my warning at all. I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Don't blame me later."

Yun Yao shuddered at the thought of her sister's ruthlessness and timidly approached Yun Yueshan. "Father, my sister is so scary. Please tell her that she has everything, while I have nothing and can't threaten her position. Please ask her to let me go..."

Seeing the terrified look on her face, Yun Yueshan frowned and looked at Yun Wei, "Weiwei, what's past is past, don't blame Yao Yao anymore."

Yunwei looked at him sarcastically, "Is it because she grew up by your side that you can unconditionally believe her every word at any time?"

Yun Yueshan was taken aback.

Yun Wei didn't look at the two of them again and went straight into the house. Watching her go inside, Yun Yao's eyes flashed with smugness.

"Father, I won't go in, so my sister won't see me and get upset, which could cause another argument with you and Mother," Yun Yao said with a pitiful expression.

Looking at the scar on her face, Yun Yueshan frowned and asked, "Was this scar on your face really inflicted by Weiwei?"

"Father, it's all in the past, let it go. I don't want to pursue it any further," Yun Yao said, shaking her head.

"But last time Yunqi said you encountered a drunkard causing trouble on the road, which is why..."

“Sister is not the same as before, and elder brother has always been good at judging the situation, so I don’t blame him.” Yun Yao said ambiguously, her face showing just the right amount of bitterness and loneliness. “Today is Father’s birthday, a very auspicious day. Father, please go inside quickly. Sister and the others are waiting to celebrate your birthday with you. Please don’t let me spoil their fun.” After saying that, she bowed and then turned and left.

Yun Yueshan frowned more and more deeply, and stood there for a long time before going inside.

Today is just an ordinary birthday celebration, so we didn't invite any outsiders. It's called a birthday banquet, but it's really just a family dinner, since everyone here is family.

Looking at his family sitting around the table, Yun Yueshan couldn't help but recall Yun Yao's forlorn figure as she left earlier.

Although the child was not his biological child, he grew up in the Yun family.

For over a decade, unaware of the truth, he and Madam Xu doted on her as their own daughter. But now, she has been divorced by her husband's family and her face has been slashed by Yun Wei.

Today is his birthday, but I don't dare sit down and eat with him.

Yunyue Mountain felt increasingly distressed.

"Why are you only coming in now?" Madam Xu asked when she saw him arrive so late.

Seeing that she didn't care about Yun Yao at all, Yun Yueshan felt a fire burning in his chest, but he restrained himself and said only lightly, "I talked to Yao Yao for a while."

Upon hearing this, Madam Xu was taken aback. "Where is she? Why isn't she coming in?"

Yun Yueshan's face darkened. "Why doesn't she come in? Don't you know? What have you been doing all this time? The child has suffered so much, don't you know how to show her any concern?"

Xu looked at him in astonishment, then realized what was happening and became angry. "Why are you taking it out on me? If you want to care about her, go ahead and do it. Nobody's stopping you!" She couldn't help but resent Yun Yao. She wasn't some pampered guest. Why did she have to be urged and invited so many times when there was a banquet at home?

"Snapped!"

Yun Yueshan slammed his hand heavily on the table. "No wonder she didn't dare to come in. Look at your attitude!"

Xu's expression changed, showing that he was angry, but he fell silent and did not dare to speak.

Yun Yueshan's gaze swept over Yun Qi, and he said in a deep voice, "Why did you lie last time?"

Yun Qi was taken aback. "What lie did I tell?"

"The injury on Yao Yao's face wasn't caused by some drunkard. It was Yun Wei who scratched her. She's your sister too. How could you bear to hide it?" Yun Yueshan asked.

Yun Qi was taken aback, then said nonchalantly, "I thought it was something serious. I said that because I was afraid you'd blame Weiwei, didn't I?"

Yun Yueshan sneered, "No wonder Yao Yao said you knew how to assess the situation. Now it seems that's true. To curry favor with Yun Wei, you actually dared to go against your conscience and fabricate such a lie. Yun Qi, I really underestimated you!"

Yun Qi's expression instantly turned ugly. "Yun Yao is no good either. You think she's good, and you always side with her."

"What did you say?" Yun Yueshan roared. "She suffered a terrible tragedy. Although she is not your biological sister, she grew up with you. How could you bear to stand by and watch? How can your heart be so cold-blooded?"
