Yu Yuan neither confirmed nor denied, "That day, the Lu family threw Yu Yuan out in front of everyone, saying they only recognized Lu Jingxi as their daughter. So why come looking for me today?"

Old Lady Lu: "..."

She blinked, tears streaming down her face. She tried to grab Yu Yuan's sleeve but Yu Yuan turned away.

Old Lady Lu felt no embarrassment, her eyes red-rimmed. "This... this is Grandma's fault! Grandma should have gone out that day and stopped them!"

"Yuanyuan," she shakily stretched out her hands, rough like dead tree bark, tears falling immediately, "More than twenty years, you coming back is thanks to our Lu family ancestors. All these years, have you been wronged... It's all that woman's fault, your mother, such a cold-hearted woman! She even rejected her own daughter, blinded by that little fox in the family..."

Lu Jingming couldn't stand his grandma talking like that about his mom and sister. "Grandma, Jingxi grew up in our family. The bond between us siblings these years is real. We've lived together over twenty years; even if not blood siblings, it's close enough. Please don't..."

When he stayed silent, Old Lady Lu was just pretending to charm Yu Yuan, but once he spoke, she exploded. "Me? What about me? You talk to your grandma like that over a stranger?"

"No, Grandma." Lu Jingming immediately regretted speaking. "I didn't mean that..."

Ignoring the crowd, Old Lady Lu, as if full of hatred for Lu Jingxi, grabbed her eldest grandson and kept going, "For a stranger, you'd really throw away your grandma?"

...

Yu Yuan crossed her arms, watching the two of them fight like dogs, and that sharp sting in her heart faded quite a bit.

Lu You glanced at his grandma and his eldest brother, who both looked grim, and finally managed to calm Old Lady Lu down.

From the bits and pieces Yu Yuan and Old Lady Lu had said, he guessed a lot. Though surprised by Yu Yuan's identity, deep down he thought his eldest brother's approach this time was wrong.

With what they'd done, they'd basically helped Jingxi steal the life that belonged to Yu Yuan. If they didn't find a way to make it right later, the karmic consequences on Jingxi would be heavy.

"Se... Yu Yuan," Lu You looked at Yu Yuan's cold gaze, his gentle brows furrowing, "For so many years, our Lu family has owed you. I promise, if you want, you can come back to the Lu family anytime. Whatever compensation you want, we'll give it."

He naturally looked approachable, and with his furrowed brows, he seemed even more sincere. "We only ask you to save Lu He."

Yu Yuan glanced lightly over these people and found it kind of funny.

Back when the original character was in trouble, they turned a blind eye. Now that they needed her, and on top of that, her fame was booming, how could they be so confident she would save Lu He just because of the Lu family?

They really thought they were the golden children.

"Their schemes are so loud, I could hear them from all the way over here."

Yu Yuan crossed her arms and stood up, not taking a single step closer to Lu You in front of her, speaking softly, "I can save Lu He, sure. But why should I? Because your Lu family has made things difficult for me at every turn, or because of some confidence you don't even know where it comes from?"

Lu You found her words harsh and pressed his lips tightly. "Lu He is your biological older brother..."

"Biological older brother?" Yu Yuan thought about what Lu He said on the set yesterday, her eyes sparkling with amusement, "But this 'older brother' has never once truly protected me, his biological little sister. From everything he's done, has he ever treated me like a real sister? If anything, he's more like a class enemy."

Lu You didn't know what had happened between Yu Yuan and Lu He, but he'd been pampered his whole life. Now that Yu Yuan had refused to this extent, he opened his mouth but didn't have the face to say anything more.

Old Lady Lu had been worrying about her grandson, who was unconscious. Ever since she found out Yu Yuan was their Lu family's biological granddaughter, she felt like the family ancestors had blessed them by giving her a powerful Xuan master granddaughter. She was overwhelmed with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.

But before anyone else could say anything, Yu Yuan's expression grew more and more impatient. Finally, she frowned and waved her hand. It was as if an invisible force pushed the group straight out of the courtyard, and the iron gate slammed shut right in front of their eyes.

"Hey! Yuanyuan! Yuanyuan!"

Seeing the black iron gate close in front of her, while her precious grandson still hadn't woken up, Old Lady Lu forgot about Yu Yuan's power and pounded on the gate loudly.

Inside the courtyard, Yu Yuan frowned and waved her hand. A soundproof talisman flew out of her pocket and landed firmly on the gate. The noise outside vanished instantly, and the silence was immediate.

Outside the gate, Tang Xiangnan, who had been supporting his grandmother and watching the commotion, waved his hand and said to his grandmother, who was still listening intently, "Grandma, let's go back. We better not upset Master Yu by staying here."

Grandma Tang agreed. It wasn't the right time to confront the Lu family. She quietly led the group away from the Lu family.

Only after they were far away did she sigh, holding her grandson's hand, "You know, the Lu family is unlucky. Whether it's Master Yu or Lu Jingxi, both kids are outstanding. But if they're lucky, how could they have forced such a powerful master like Master Yu to become enemies with them... ah, Master Yu really changed a lot."

She had also been at Lu Jingxi's birthday party that day, watching Lu Jingxi move smoothly among several young elites of high society like a proud little swan. Later, when Yu Yuan burst in all wild and crazy, she thought these two were worlds apart.

Her old snobby sister had never chosen the biological granddaughter.

But who could've guessed, after just three days apart, people saw her differently? The once miserable little star had become the calm, unshaken figure she was now — the lifesaver of her Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei.

Tang Xiangbei snorted coldly, "In the end, it's just the Lu family's bad character. No matter what, she's their own daughter... Even normal people might look down on her, but no one treats their own daughter this way. Yet they have to lift one up and stomp one down. Serves them right for the bad karma."
