Yun Zhang stared agape at the thick stack of demand letters before him and stuttered, “These-these, are all addressed to us?”

“That is correct, Mr. Yun,” the lawyer answered stoically.

“That’s impossible! How is this possible?” Yun Zhang replied as his mind blanked.

The lawyer politely informed him, “Our client has entrusted us to investigate and sue the slanderers for spreading fake news, and our investigation showed the prejudicial remarks against our client on the Internet are posted by account IDs all held by your company’s employees. Other users also indicated your company’s employees had given them money and instructed them to post extreme comments.”

Yun Zhang slowly collected himself and inquired, “Is your client… Yun Nan?”

The lavvyer stated, “Miss Yun Nan’s studio, to be precise, and not her personally. However, another client had requested we pursue the matter regarding the slanderous remarks against her person.

“Another client? Who is it?” Yun Zhang dazedly questioned.

The lavvyer answered evenly, “It’s Mr. Shi Nian.” Yun Zhang’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t describe his complicated feelings at the moment.

“Mr. Shi Nian said that he won’t spare anyone who’d persecuted Miss Yun Nan, and he won’t accept mediation.”

Yun Zhang slowly nodded at the lavvyer’s words and said, “Alright, I understand. I will inform my company’s legal department, have them contact you, and handle this matter properly.” With that, he felt a sense of helplessness rise from the bottom of his heart.

The lawyer didn’t say much and stood up to leave. He relayed, ‘Mr. Yun, Mr. Shi Nian wanted me to pass this message to you: He will do everything he can to protect Miss Yun Nan. Mr. Shi will show no mercy to those who wish to hurt her, even if it’s the Yun family—even if Miss Yun doesn’t want to pursue the matter.”

Yun Zhang was speechless, and after the lawyer left, he sat quietly on the chair, mind distracted. He hadn’t been paying attention to the news online recently because he had a sudden impulse to understand Yun Nan’s past.

He’d found the shop that had belonged to her adoptive parents, situated in the area where Yun Nan had gone missing back then. The shop had changed owners, but the neighbors only had praise when they mentioned Yun Nan’s family. Her adoptive parents were kind-hearted and had never given up on helping her find her biological parents. They were afraid her biological parents wouldn’t be able to find her, so they never changed her name.

However, Yun Zhang knew very well that when his sister went missing, his parents didn’t put much effort into searching for her. Instead, they were so busy casting blame on each other that they nearly divorced. Their fights didn’t die down until their relatives came up with the idea of adopting another child. Then, his parents put all their attention on his new sister. They thought Yun Nan must have been kidnapped by human traffickers and were convinced they would never recover their lost child.

Yun Nan became an orphan after her adoptive parents passed away. However, she wasn’t an adult, and though her neighbors offered her help, it wasn’t a solution. In order to fulfill her adoptive parents’ wishes, Yun Nan insisted on finding her biological parents. Led by her remaining memories, Yun Nan wandered to many places. She had to find ways to fill her stomach while cleverly ensuring her own safety. Yun Zhang couldn’t imagine what kind of life she had in those few years.

After her fruitless search, Yun Nan returned to the house that no longer contained her adoptive parents. Living off the generosity of her neighbors, she managed to catch up on her studies in a year and got admitted to university. She was the pride of the entire street, and her neighbors raised funds for her university fees. They’d bought a custom banner and placed it at the alley’s entrance with a donation box underneath. There was enough money for her tuition fees and travel expenses in the donation box by the time school started. Before she left, Yun Nan had knelt at the alley’s entrance and kowtowed thrice to the neighbors who came to see her off.

Yun Zhang couldn’t stand listening to any more of Yun Nan’s past. He couldn’t help but recall that, during that time, their entire family had doted on and cared for Yun Liu in every possible way and had long forgotten about Yun Nan —the Yun Nan who was studying at university while having to rely on part-time jobs to support herself.

Yun Zhang finally understood why Yun Nan approached things briskly and decisively. Her personality was formed and molded by the things she experienced as she grew up. He honestly couldn’t imagine how difficult it was for a girl to grow up without anyone to rely on.

He felt deeply guilty for his and his parents’ actions. They had let Yun Nan down. Yun Nan had gone through so many difficulties to find her way back home, but how did they treat her?

‘ Yun Nan must hate us, doesn’t she? Yun Zhang didn’t dare to ponder over this question. If he were in her shoes, he would probably hate them—there was no way he wouldn’t.

But Yun Nan… Yun Nan didn’t hate them; he was sure of it. Yun Nan only felt disappointed in them—extremely disappointed. Therefore, she chose to leave their family and struck out on her own. Yun Nan had grown up to become a successful person without her family, but they constantly bullied her when she returned to them, so why did she have to stay and suffer such treatment?

Yun Zhang felt extremely upset when he thought about it..
