Chapter 245 - Two-Hundred and Forty-Five: Biological Parents
Chang Hui was so thrilled. ‘Oh my gosh! This is proving to be an explosive situation! Hahahaha!’
Gu Bei sized up the couple without saying anything. Chen Yao frowned. “You’re
Yun Nan’s biological parents?”
Yun Xiang was a businessman and naturally knew about Gu Bei. He quickly reached out to shake hands with Gu Bei. “Hello, Mr. Gu. I’m Yun Xiang.”
“Yun Nan is my granddaughter,” Gu Bei calmly replied without reaching out his hand.
Yun Nan had just finished speaking to Bai Jie when she turned around and saw her parents and grandparents facing each other and couldn’t help but frown. She didn’t expect them to show up at the Gu family’s gathering. She had just received WeChat messages from Yun Zhang and Fang Xi, telling her that her biological parents had given Yun Entertainment to Yun Liu for free. Yun Zhang said his mother had threatened him with her death, so he had no choice but to sign away the company.
Yun Nan was speechless when she found out and thought, ‘How absurd!’ She came over and put her arm around Chen Yao’s, gently asking, “Grandma, what’s wrong?”
Chen Yao said nothing. Faced with her daughter, Gu Wei felt a little guilty and angrily reprimanded, “You won’t even greet us now, Yun Nan? We didn’t kick you out; you’re the one who wanted to leave our family, so don’t give us that attitude. What, you don’t even feel like calling us Mom and Dad? We’re your birth parents, after all.”
Yun Nan took a deep breath and calmly greeted them, ‘Mom, Dad.”
Yun Xiang’s face darkened, and he didn’t respond. Gu Bei’s cold attitude hurt him deeply, but he didn’t dare say anything. He didn’t have the right to argue with Gu Bei in terms of capabilities, birthright, status, and everything else. He had no choice but to accept this humiliation.
“Hmph!” Gu Wei huffed. “Now that you’ve found someone better than us, you naturally don’t give a d*mn about us.”
Yun Nan didn’t say anything and thought bitterly to herself, ‘ What can I say to that? She felt even more disappointed in her parents when she saw how they tried to turn the tables on her when they were the guilty party.
Shi Nian strode over and stood beside Yun Nan. Chen Yao glanced at Gu Wei and delicately asked, “What does Madam Yun mean by that? You scolded Yun Nan when she didn’t greet you, but when she did greet you, you sarcastically insulted her. Is that any way to treat your biological daughter? Are you that dissatisfied with her?”
Chang Hui cheerfully fanned the flames and told her, “Don’t you know, Aunt Chen Yao? Madam Yun personally gave Yun Entertainment over to Yun Liu during the press conference this afternoon! Our Yun Liu is such a lucky child! I guess the saying ‘adopted family is more important than genetic family is quite true. Her adoptive parents treat her better than their own biological children!”
Chang Hui’s words stabbed many in the heart. As expected, Chen Yao’s expression darkened. However, she held back her anger and coldly uttered, “You’re right. I agree, an adopted family does mean more than a genetic one.”
Gu Wei unhappily glared at Chang Hui and tried to explain herself. ‘Madam Gu, it’s not that we’re partial towards Yun Liu. We don’t need to worry about Yun Nan because she is so capable, but Yun Liu isn’t. She grew up spoiled and pampered, and we’re worried she’ll get bullied when she returns to the Gu family, so we thought we might as well give her something for a rainy day—a dowry.”
Chen Yao nodded. “That’s right. A parent has to plan far for their child’s future. I understand the heart of a loving mother. But Yun Nan is also your daughter. I don’t understand why you disregard and criticize her so.”
She continued, “But it doesn’t matter. Yun Nan has us. We only have one daughter, and my daughter only has one adopted daughter, Yun Nan. We’ve been saving up for our daughter’s dowry our entire lives. As her mother has unfortunately passed away, it all belongs to Yun Nan.”
Chang Hui was stunned. ‘ Wait, is she serious? Theyre giving it all to Yun Nan? Uncle Gu Bei andAunt Chen Yao plan to give all their assets to Yun Nan? To this girl who isn’t even related to us? No way that’s happening!’
Chen Yao stated, “Your adopted daughter is blessed to receive so much love from you, Madam Yun, but our Yun Nan doesn’t have it bad either. Although her biological parents don’t acknowledge her, we—her grandparents—love her with all our hearts.’
Chen Yao told Gu Wei and her husband, “Since you two don’t like Yun Nan, stop forcing her to greet you in public; it’s tedious. Just focus on your adopted daughter and treat her well. As for your biological daughter, just pretend that you never found her. She’s our child now.”
Chen Yao pulled Yun Nan along as she turned around and walked away. Gu Bei and Shi Nian hurriedly caught up, one on each side, protecting their respective wives.
The Yun couple watched in a daze as their daughter left without looking back and felt quite upset. “I didn’t say anything wrong, ” Gu Wei grumbled to Yun Xiang. “Tell me, do you think what I said was wrong? I didn’t do anything to her, either! What right does she have to throw a tantrum at me? I gave birth to her; I’m her biological mother!”
Gu Wei felt so aggrieved that tears flowed down her face..
