When Lin Mengchen was thrown out, Lin Mengyao and Xu Ke stood among the crowd, witnessing everything firsthand. "Do you think I was too harsh on her? But has she considered what those words would mean to you if others heard and remembered them?

Xu Ke held Lin Mengyao’s cool fingertips and whispered softly in her ear.

After all, Lin Mengchen had been her sister for over a decade. Watching her be dragged away in front of the entire high society, losing all face, Lin Mengyao felt indescribably distressed. She blamed Xu Ke for being too ruthless, but his words dispelled her resentment, leaving only endless melancholy.

Who could have imagined that the sister who used to follow her around and act coquettishly would grow up wanting to destroy her?

Since no word of his presence had spread, it was likely Xu Ke did not want his identity exposed. Contemplating this, Old Yun reached a conclusion, patted his granddaughter’s hand on his arm, and smilingly said, "Don’t be rude to the guest. Is this what I always teach

Lin Mengyao left Xu Ke completely indifferent towards her. His expression chilled visibly, and he entirely ignored Yun Rulan’s attempt to greet him, instead turning to Old Yun and saying plainly, "I heard the Yun Family is building a
