I'll give my daughter one more second.

"Mother, you overestimate me. Even you yourself can't do anything with Grandma, so what can I do?"

"Tsk, so you did know about this. To have reached this level at such a young age, to be honest, there is no more suitable family heir than you." Yang Nai sighed softly, but a complicated look appeared in his eyes.

"My mother and the others have taken action. I thought they would at most give Wu Shen a warning, but I didn't expect them to go this far." Yang Nai scrolled through the call history on her phone, her face expressionless.

"The reason I asked Yukino or Wu Shen to move as soon as possible was to prevent things from escalating, but it seems we were too late."

"As it turns out, even a shrewd and calculating mother is helpless when facing a father. The remedial measures were ineffective, and the previous paternity test was discovered, completely exposing everything," Yueyin said playfully, clasping her small hands together.

"If you had really been exposed, do you think you would still be safe here? I intervened and my covert interference worked. The information my parents obtained through their investigation contained a lot of distorted and falsified intelligence." Yang Nai snorted coldly.

"But the problem is, they seem to have misunderstood that it was you, Mother, who helped Aunt Yukino get her checkup. That's why they're covering for her. Hehe, how funny..." Tsukine covered her mouth and chuckled.

The situation seems complicated, but it's actually quite simple. The Yukinoshita couple accidentally discovered that Haruno had taken Tsukine for a paternity test.

However, because Haruno had made some preparations in advance, due to a mishap and a mistake in the information, Yukinoshita and her husband mistakenly thought that Yukino had gone to get a checkup to see if she was pregnant because she was dating someone. In order to protect her younger sister, Haruno helped her hide this news from her parents.

As for who Yukino's boyfriend is, Yukino's parents easily thought of Wu Shen, who has a lot of scandals and happens to be Yukino's neighbor.

This is extremely suspicious; she's definitely the prime suspect. Yukinoshita's parents were immediately furious. How dare he date their daughter? Isn't that courting death?

And so, Wu Shen found himself unjustly burdened with a huge, unjust blame. While, in hindsight, he might not be entirely innocent, the problem was that at this point in time, nothing was even remotely certain.

Chapter 169 Dissonant Notes

"The situation is already so bad. Aren't you worried about your 'father'?" Yang asked in surprise, resting his chin on his hand.

She was surprised that Yueyin knew what had happened today, yet didn't tell her in advance to stop it, instead appearing completely relaxed and carefree.

It's important to understand that in this situation, it's inconvenient for Wu Shen, Xue Nai, or even herself to handle the situation; in fact, it could lead to countless troublesome events.

Yueyin's attitude at this moment puzzled her.

"The actions of the Yukinoshita family are pointless, why should I worry? Mother, you should worry more about yourself. If we don't keep the information confidential, it would be bad if Grandma found out about my existence."

Tsukine sat on the tatami floor, her white-stockinged legs dangling in front of Haruno, looking incredibly cute.

"Don't forget, you also bear the surname Yukinoshita, so you're considered a member of the family," Yang reminded him.

"I don't want such rigid maternal grandparents. My paternal grandparents are so much better than them. Besides, Mother is already Father's woman, so what's the point of talking about such a tiny little family?" Yueyin tilted her head and stuck out her pink tongue.

“I don’t admit that,” Yang Nai retorted stubbornly.

"The paternity test results from the hair sample are in, right? What were they?" Yueyin asked with great interest.

"..." Yang Nai remained silent, only clenching her teeth. Because now it was 100% certain that Yueyin was indeed her and Wu Shen's bloodline.

Even a strong woman like Yang Nai would feel lost in such a situation.

“Now the evidence is conclusive, and Mother can no longer deny it. That’s why I said before that Mother going for the test would be like digging her own grave. Marriage is the grave of life!” Yueyin stood up, walked to Yangnai’s side, and pressed close to her back.

"You should pay more attention to your father. If your parents are watching him, he'll definitely be in big trouble."

"It's alright, Father is no ordinary person," Yueyin said confidently.

I don't understand what you're talking about.

"You'll understand in a few days, Mother. In short, don't worry, just observe and see how things develop, otherwise you might just make things worse." Yueyin smiled and sat down next to Yangnai again.

Hearing Tsukine's words, Yono turned around and looked out at the dark night sky, seemingly lost in thought.

On the other side, Wu Shen rushed back to the apartment as fast as he could. When he ran upstairs, he heard Yukino arguing with an old man in the hallway.

“Wu Shen has a legally signed lease for this house. How can he change his mind at the last minute?” Xue Nai’s cold and serious voice came from upstairs.

"Young lady, you don't understand the ins and outs of this. Take my advice and don't get involved. Otherwise, you might get into trouble."

"Why should I worry about something happening?" Yukino frowned. Although her parents didn't pay much attention to her, she was still a member of the Yukinoshita family, and almost no one dared to cause her trouble.

When Wu Shen arrived, he found that the door to his room had been quietly opened a crack, revealing the eyes of three little girls peeking out.

“I’m the tenant of this house. Tell me what’s wrong,” Wu Shen immediately interrupted the argument between Yukino and the old woman.

"But……"

"Thank you, Yukino. Please leave the rest to me. Can my cousin and the others stay in your room for a while?" Yukino seemed to want to say something, but Wu Shen's request interrupted her.

Wu Shen gestured with his chin towards the three little girls at his door, indicating to Yukino.

"Understood. If anything happens, just come to me." Yukino only said one sentence, but her worry was evident. Then she led the three little girls, Amane, Mai, and Yoru, who came out of the door, back to her room.

Wu Shen led the landlord directly into his room.

"May I ask what happened? I signed a formal contract. Are you going to breach it? Or are you having some kind of difficulty?" After sitting down, Wu Shen immediately raised his doubts.

"If I could avoid breaching the contract, I certainly wouldn't want to, since it concerns the apartment's reputation. But this time it's not that simple," the landlord said with a sigh.

"Young man, have you recently messed with someone you shouldn't have?"

"Huh?" Wu Shen scratched his head, somewhat puzzled by the question.

He usually lives a normal college life, so who could he possibly offend? Does Miura really have that much power? Or is there some influential person in the school who is jealous of him because of the rumors?

This was the only possibility Wu Shen could think of, but it felt extremely unreliable.

"Landlord, do you know what's going on?"

"How would I know? Anyway, for everyone's and other residents' sake, like that girl you just met, right? You don't want her to get involved in trouble, do you?" The landlord shook his head. "You'd better move out as soon as possible. I'll refund you the remaining rent for the next year and a half."

"Is there absolutely no room for negotiation?" Wu Shen frowned.

"No," the landlord said firmly and decisively.

“I can use the contract to file a complaint.”

"Go ahead and go, even if I have to pay the penalty for breaking the contract, I can't take you in." The landlord paused, then suddenly remembered something, "Speaking of which, you're a foreign student, right?"

"That's right, is there a problem?"

“That’s better. I advise you to go back as soon as possible; you’ll be safe if you go back to China. Staying here is definitely not safe. Even if you try to find other tenants nearby, you’ll probably be rejected outright.”

Having gone to such lengths to remind him, the elderly landlady had actually done more than enough. It seemed she had her reasons for asking him to leave. However, no matter how Wu Shen asked, she wouldn't divulge anything, only insisting that Wu Shen leave immediately.

"I'll give you a week to prepare as soon as possible. Take my advice: the sooner you leave, the safer you'll be."

After the landlord finished speaking, he sighed, hunched over, and left with his hands behind his back. Wu Shen was left completely bewildered, still unable to understand what was going on, sitting blankly in the room.

His first thought was that Sakura Dormitory was the only place he could go. He had originally planned to consult with Professor Sengoku tomorrow. Unfortunately, Wu Shen had clearly oversimplified things this time. This time, his opponent was someone who wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal.

Just then, the half-closed door was pulled open, and Yukino led Mai, Amane, and Yoru into the room.

Chapter 170 There's Always a Scoundrel Trying to Harm Me

"Did something happen to Dad?"

Although Ye Ge is usually slow and a bit slow to react, she was the first to reach Wu Shen's side and tugged at his sleeve. Ye Ge's expression was indifferent, but Wu Shen could sense her worry.

"It's nothing, just a small matter, don't worry." Wu Shen patted her head.

Then he quickly noticed someone staring intently in his direction. Looking up, he saw Yukino standing in the doorway, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Oh no, I almost forgot Yukino is still here!

"Dad, Dad?" Yukino stroked her chin as she walked over, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing the suspicion in Yukino's eyes, Wu Shen quickly gave Mai a look. Mai clearly realized the situation as well. If Yukino knew the truth, something bad might happen.

Wu Yi's small eyes darted around, and she quickly came up with a good idea. So she turned to the side and looked at Yu Yin with a reproachful look: "Look at this. It's all your fault for saying you wanted to play house during the day and making your brother play everyone's father. Ye Ge was already used to it and couldn't change his way of speaking, and now it's even more hopeless."

"Wuyi, what are you saying! Wasn't it you who suggested playing house?" Yuyin retorted with a mournful face.

"Amane, didn't I tell you? Don't always shirk responsibility." Yukino looked down at Amane.

"No, I didn't..." Yu Yin quickly waved her hand in protest.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now..." Yukino sighed softly, and this time she surprisingly didn't blame Amane. Instead, she affectionately patted Amane's hair.

Yukino mistakenly believed that Wu Shen missed her father, which was why she thought of using this childish game as an excuse to openly call Wu Shen "father." Thinking of this, Yukino felt a pang of guilt.

"I'm sorry, Yuyin, I made you take the blame. I'll definitely make it up to you later." Wu Shen clasped his hands together and shook them up and down, thinking to himself.

After resolving the matter, Wu Shen told Mai and the others to go play in Yukino's room with Amane, so now only Wu Shen and Yukino were left in the room.

"What exactly is going on? Can you explain it to me?" Yukino asked impatiently.

"I don't even know what happened. The landlord just keeps telling me to move out." Wu Shen scratched his head, still looking completely bewildered.

However, he didn't mention that he had messed with someone he shouldn't have, which would cause Yukino unnecessary worry. Regardless of who he had offended, Wu Shen wasn't worried about trouble. The real issue was who was targeting him and why.

Once you understand this, everything will fall into place.

"Do you need my help? You should know that I still have some..." Yukino said casually, but Wu Shen could see her concern.

"It's nothing, I reckon it's just a minor issue. There seems to be a problem with the previous payments, but I'll try to get the money back from home. It's not a big deal," Wu Shen reassured him.

"And if there's really no other way to solve it, I can always move to the Sakura Dormitory on campus," Wu Shen said with a smile, seemingly unconcerned.

"Moving..." Upon hearing Wu Shen's words, Yukino paused for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Wu Shen clearly sensed Yukino's unusual behavior.
