Chapter 1097: Chapter 1096: Sister Complex Is a Family Trait
Yun Sang couldn’t wait to walk over, “Uncle, how’s it going?”
Yun Zhijuan picked up the three cards in order, took a look at them, and then interpreted: “Displacement; Illusion; Conflict.”
He uttered three words.
Everyone could understand the literal meaning, but the deeper meaning conveyed by the cards was beyond their grasp.
Yun Zhijuan shook his head, “I can now be sure that the person abroad is a virtual character and not a member of the Yun Family. But this final conflict…”
He let out a deep breath, and when he looked up at Yun Zhishu again, his usually playful demeanor showed an unusually serious expression.
“Luckily… luckily you didn’t leave…”
Conflict implies danger.
If Yun Zhishu and Lu Xun had really gone abroad this time, what awaited them would not be a family reunion but a crisis.
“However, for now, it seems that this conflict hasn’t completely disappeared.”
After Yun Zhijuan finished speaking, Yun Sang clenched his fist, his sinister face turning grim.
“I just want to know, who the hell is behind targeting the Yun Family! As far as I’m concerned, it definitely has something to do with that Lu thief! Their investigation into Mianmian’s relationship with the Yun Family is the best evidence!”
After Yun Sang finished speaking, the living room fell silent for a moment.
Lu Mian lowered her lashes, quietly observing everyone’s expressions.
She wanted to know her parents’ attitude towards the “second uncle’s” family.
Soon, Lu Xun broke the silence, nodded, and said frankly and decisively, “From the current analysis, his family is the most suspicious.”
“I agree.” Yun Zhishu also spoke up.
“Lu Qian fears the Yun Family the most, and he’s even more afraid of the Yun Family becoming powerful. Now he’s busy hiding in plain sight, not wanting anyone to know about his thievery back in the day.”
Lu Mian couldn’t help but find it intriguing.
Her own parents decisively made judgments, not giving a damn about Lu Yutian’s family…
Such parents were a world apart from the Lu Family parents.
She subtly hooked her little finger with Xiao Qimo’s, raised her head slightly, and proudly whispered, “My parents, how adorable…”
Xiao Qimo: ???
Isn’t this honesty of cosmic proportions?
The Yun Family really lacks social polish when it comes to interpersonal relationships.
And his Mianmian had inherited this trait perfectly.
Lu Mian seemed to have read his mind and pondered, “I should be a bit better than them… right?”
Does she also have such moments of insecurity?
Xiao Qimo found it both funny and exasperating, leaned closer to her ear, “Be more confident…”
Lu Mian smiled and glanced sideways.
The elegant man, with a slightly teasing tone, joked, “Change ‘better’ to ‘worse.’
Lu Mian: …
Everyone watched their little interaction, knowingly without exposing them.
After Yun Zhijuan was silent for a long while, he suggested, “Mianmian being back is a great blessing for our Yun Family, and I have a suggestion…”
Yun Zhishu gave him a look to consider his words carefully.
“Sister, don’t be so fierce to your brother, I’m so nervous!”
Xiao Qimo: Alright.
This sister complex personality must also be a family inheritance.
In the future, he and Yun Sang would probably have some competition…
“I suggest we don’t announce this news for now. Those hiding in the shadows won’t be able to hold back when they see no reaction from the Yun Family. At that time, the muddy waters will gradually become clear.”
After finishing, Yun Zhijuan turned to Lu Mian: “Mian Xiaobao, once this matter is over, the family will definitely give you a grand welcome ceremony, no doubt about it!”
Lu Mian’s eyes flickered, her nose slightly sour.
Family…
Such beautiful words.
She didn’t want a grand welcome ceremony, she just wanted her family to be safe and sound.
Yun Sang sighed regretfully, “Lu Yutian’s side will definitely make a move, and O Continent won’t sit idly by either. This is good… though it’s still a bit of a wait.”
In the end, the family decided not to spread the news to the general public, just share it among reliable friends and relatives.
Yun Zhijuan also decided to have Yun Zhishu and Lu Xun stay at his place for now.
“As for over at O Continent…” Yun Sang asked, “Should I still go over there myself?”
“No need.” Lu Mian raised her hand, there was no way she would let her family fall into danger now.
“I’ll have my subordinates from the Mercenary Alliance go there instead; they’re experts at this,” Lu Mian said as she took out her phone to text Du Xiaofu.
Yun Sang tilted his head, raised an eyebrow, and asked, “Mercenary Alliance? Subordinates? Sister, what’s your relationship with them? If I remember correctly, they even tried to assassinate you before!”
“What?! Assassinate?!”
The alarming word made Yun Zhishu and Lu Xun immediately look at Lu Mian with concern.
Yun Sang: …You two have never seemed so worried about me…
Lu Mian casually explained, “It’s fine now; I’m their current leader, and they all listen to me.”
Just listen to her, can you believe it?
Having become the leader of a mercenary organization, she’s still so nonchalant!
Yun Sang couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up in admiration.
Lu Xun and Yun Zhishu felt nothing but shock and disbelief.
Xiao Qimo smiled silently: Nothing left to say, just hoping the Yun Family can experience the same thrills he has, elegantly smiling.
Lu Mian quickly arranged the matters on O Continent, and it was now time for lunch; the reunion meal Lu Xun ordered had been delivered to their doorstep.
The men brought the dishes one by one to the dining table.
The five members of the Yun family, plus Xiao Thick-skin Qimo, made a total of six people sitting around the dining table.
In the center of the table quietly lay six hamburgers.
Lu Xun was happy today and ordered two extra hamburgers, four for his wife, two for Yun Sang. He wasn’t sure if Mianmian liked them.
Soon, Lu Xun and Yun Zhishu both noticed their daughter’s eyes lighting up at the sight of the hamburgers…
No need to ask, they knew the answer.
Lu Xun thought: Maybe it should be three for his wife, three for Mianmian?
Yun Sang looked at his mom, then at his sister, not thinking about the hamburgers but ruefully regretting.
Just so much regret.
So many details were laid out, so many clues to follow, yet he hadn’t noticed anything, wasting so much time.
Regret!
It wasn’t until this moment that Yun Zhijuan suddenly realized—
“Hey sister, why are you all here and not going back to the old house?”
Lu Mian lazily lifted an eyelid, her master’s uncle’s reaction speed was really slow!
Yun Zhishu replied matter-of-factly, “It’s gone, traded for information about our daughter.”
“What?” Yun Zhijuan stood up in shock.
“Brother, you’re getting up in age, can’t you be more composed? Anyway, there’s nothing much at the old house; if it’s gone, it’s gone.”
“No!” Yun Zhijuan reached out, almost wanting to scold his wasteful sister, “There were antiques there! A whole bunch of antiques passed down through our Yun Family’s ancestors, displayed in the basement!”
“Oh…” Science-oriented Yun Zhishu couldn’t grasp the value of antiques.
Meanwhile, Lu Mian raised an eyebrow unexpectedly.
Oh? Antiques…
