Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

Chapter 45 - The Yun Family (1)

Yun Guanyu's eyebrows shot up the moment he heard what Master Ouyang said. Both the Yun and the Ouyang family had been interconnected with each other through marriage several generations ago. To this day, both heads of the families were still amicable towards each other as both families had deeply rooted ties for decades.

"Whose mistress?" Another voice chimed in, and both old men turned their heads to see the three sons of the Yun family; Yun Yuanzhi, Yun Zhaonan and Yun Shao.

Yun Yuanzhi was the eldest of the four Yun siblings. He had an upright and calm personality. The person standing on his right was the second son, Yun Zhaonan who seemed wise and shrewd at the same time, while the youngest son, Yun Shao, who was five years younger than Yun Qingrong, had a carefree and confident personality.

At a quick glance, all three sons of the Yun family seemed to be men of extraordinary talent.

The three sons joined their old father and greeted Master Ouyang politely, before Yun Yuanzhi asked Master Ouyang again.

"Master Ouyang, could you please clarify what you've said earlier? Who were you talking about?"

"Ah, I was talking to your father about Qing'er's daughter, Su Xiaofei. She's only eighteen years old, but she has managed to chase away her father's mistress and illegitimate child." The old man said in an amused tone.

"Su Haoran! You dare to cheat on my sister!" Yun Shao exploded in anger. Amongst the three brothers of Yun Qingrong, she was closest with this younger brother of hers.

Yun Yuanzhi was seven years older than Yun Qingrong and when they were younger, he had been very considerate towards her, patiently teaching her whenever Yun Qingrong couldn't understand any part of her studies.

As for her second brother, Yun Zhaonan, he doted on Yun Qingrong and taught her basic self-defense skills when she was bullied at school. However, Yun Qingrong was closest to Yun Shao as they always spent time together playing and tricking their elders when they were younger.

All the three sons of the Yun family were working in the military, while the only daughter, Yun Qingrong ventured out on her own and worked at an entertainment company in Guangshang. Obviously, as the only daughter of the family, the entire Yun family doted on her to no end. Even General Yun was extremely careful and patient towards his only daughter.

From the day Yun Qingrong was born, to becoming a happy little girl who loved to chase after her father whenever he had to leave for work, to growing up into a young elegant woman, she had been treated like a pearl by her father.

Yun Guanyu would be hard and strict towards his sons, but when it comes to Yun Qingrong, he would never deny her of anything nor even dared to raise his voice at her. Because of this, when the Yun siblings were growing up together, her three brothers would always receive scoldings and punishments in her stead.

Growing up under such privileged circumstances, Yun Qingrong obviously hadn't tasted bitterness growing up. She had developed a naive and confident personality that could only see things in black and white. It was a pity that she had met Su Haoran and fell for his charms.

He was handsome and smart when Yun Qingrong first met him. At that time, Yun Qingrong was working as a director in another entertainment agency, while Su Haoran was her colleague from another department with a lower position.

He also had this air of gentle and relaxed temperament that she hadn't seen in her brothers. At first, Yun Qingrong didn't pay attention to him that much since he was still her subordinate at the entertainment agency, but Su Haoran had persistently chased after her until he managed to convince her to date him.

Yun Qingrong fell deeply in love with him and didn't have the heart to turn his marriage proposal down after half a year of dating. However, she hadn't expected that her whole family was against her decision to marry Su Haoran.

Yun Guanyu could see through Su Haoran's scheme and warned his daughter that the man was only using her to uplift his status in society. Although she was working in the entertainment industry, it didn't change the fact that Yun Qingrong came from a family of prestige and old money that many men would covet through marriage.

It was fine to be ambitious, but the old General despised people who used others to uplift themselves, taking advantage of other's weaknesses. For him, it was cowardliness. One should work hard to be worthy enough to achieve their goals.

Even the now deceased matriarch of the family, Yun Qingrong's mother, was against their union. She had deeply expressed her disappointment, knowing that her daughter was being blinded by the man's pretense.

Yun Qingrong didn't believe that Su Haoran was only marrying her because of her family's influence and her inheritance, hence, she asked him to sign a prenuptial agreement that heavily favored her. She insisted on marrying him and refused to listen to her family's warning.

Alas, with an extremely stubborn father, Yun Qingrong rebelled against him and proceeded to marry Su Haoran. Obviously, her old man threw a fit of rage and disowned his daughter, which broke Yun Qingrong's heart. She only found out when their butler refused to allow her to step inside the Yun Estate, a month after she married Su Haoran.

"Miss, Master said that you aren't welcome here unless you divorce that man."

For the first time in her life, Yun Qingrong felt that she was alone and unhappy. Even with her husband by her side, after two years of marriage, they still couldn't conceive a child.. She then plummeted into depression until she visited the orphanage her newly established company was supporting and laid eyes on a lovely two years old baby girl for the first time.
