Chapter 115 They set their sights on the Wei family.
After parting ways with Yun Juan, Wei Wan had only walked a few steps when she heard someone calling her name from behind.
Looking back, I saw it was Granny Jin standing next to the old lady.
Wei Wan pondered to herself why the old lady had summoned her. In fact, she could guess about 70-80% of the reason.
Everything changed after Song Jin appeared.
Yun Ting, whom Wei Wan once longed for and couldn't bear to part with, has now become a complete hypocrite in her eyes.
Song Jin's arrival was like a sharp sword, ruthlessly tearing away Yun Ting's hypocritical mask and exposing his true colors.
Faced with someone who had deceived her, Wei Wan simply could no longer feel any pity for them.
Although Wei Wan did not harbor much hatred towards Yun Ting, the feeling of disgust was something she could not shake off no matter what.
Once you develop a dislike for someone, how can you ever fall for them again?
When Wei Wan arrived at the old lady's place, she saw that the old lady was sitting on the soft couch, chatting and laughing with Yun Rong beside her.
Seeing this, Wei Wan felt a chill run down her spine. She couldn't help but laugh at herself, "How ridiculous! Their biological granddaughters, Juan'er and Xiao'er, are now unable to return home, while their so-called grandmother is getting along so well with an adopted daughter with whom she has no blood relation, chatting and laughing together. Oh, I almost forgot, this adopted daughter has now been recognized as her own granddaughter!"
Thinking of this, Wei Wan's eyes grew even dimmer, as if the whole world had lost its color.
After she finished speaking, the smile on Grandma Yun's originally kind and gentle face vanished instantly, replaced by a gloomy expression.
Her sharp eyes stared straight in Wei Wan's direction, a hint of obvious impatience in them.
The old woman narrowed her eyes slightly, frowned, and said, "Why did you take so long? Did you think that this old woman is too old and useless, so you don't take me seriously?"
Clearly, this old lady was used to using her status and position to suppress others, especially people like Wei Wan who were gentle, kind, and easily bullied.
The old lady had always been able to grasp Wei Wan's gentle and easily bullied nature, and she believed that as long as she could order her around as before, Wei Wan would definitely become more respectful and obedient.
However, to the old lady's utter surprise, Wei Wan had undergone such a tremendous change, as if she were a completely different person, no longer the timid and submissive woman she once was.
Faced with the old lady's questioning and accusations, Wei Wan remained neither humble nor arrogant, and calmly replied, "Your Majesty, I just heard Granny Jin's summons and dared not delay in the slightest. I didn't even return to my own courtyard before rushing here without any delay! If Your Majesty has any doubts about this, you can ask Granny Jin. You will know that what I said is true!"
At this point, Wei Wan was no longer the pitiful person who could be manipulated and controlled by others.
She cleverly shifted the blame to Granny Jin, who was standing next to the old lady, implying: "If you don't trust me, shouldn't you at least trust those close to you? Do you think even your most trusted confidante would dare to deceive you?"
Upon hearing Wei Wan's words, the old lady felt as if she had a fishbone stuck in her throat; she opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word.
However, when she remembered the purpose of her visit, she had no choice but to swallow her feelings of dissatisfaction and grievance.
Grandma Yun quickly forced a smile onto her face and said in a fawning tone, "Wan'er... Mother knows you have a sharp tongue but a soft heart! Actually, Mother has always understood your goodness!"
After saying that, he gently patted Wei Wan's hand.
Meanwhile, Wei Wan sat calmly in her chair, her gaze serene as she watched the elderly Mrs. Yun putting on her performance.
Suddenly, a sentence Yun Quan once said to her came to mind: "Unsolicited kindness is either a trick or a theft!"
Wei Wan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "It really proves the old saying! I never expected to witness such a vivid scene today."
She carefully examined Grandma Yun's hypocritical and pretentious appearance, and the more she looked, the more she felt that it was exactly the same as the scene described in that sentence.
It seems that what the ancients said was indeed true: the coldness and warmth of human relationships, and the wickedness of people's hearts, are often hidden beneath seemingly kind appearances.
"Mother, just say what you want to say!" Wei Wan really didn't want to beat around the bush with Old Madam Yun, and she didn't want to waste her time here.
When Wei Wan looked up and saw this group of people, she felt very uncomfortable. However, out of consideration for their feelings, she couldn't show her displeasure in front of them. She could only suppress her displeasure and pretend to deal with them.
Grandma Yun never expected Wei Wan to be so straightforward. At first, she was a little embarrassed, but since the other party had already gotten straight to the point, she didn't need to beat around the bush or make things mysterious anymore.
"Here's the thing! As you just witnessed, our household has absolutely no extra silver to spare! So I was thinking, could you please go to... the Wei family... and ask them to lend us some silver temporarily? That would help our household get through this difficult time!" Old Madam Yun knew very well that the Wei family was currently at the height of its power and enjoying boundless glory.
Furthermore, the two families are related by marriage. In any case, the Wei family would not stand idly by and watch the Yun family decline and fall into ruin!
Moreover, as long as Yun Ting recovers and the Yun family weathers this crisis, the borrowed money will be returned in full without any delay!
Hearing Grandma Yun's shameless words, Wei Wan felt even more disgusted!
I never expected that she would call me here with such a plan, wanting me to go to the Wei family to borrow money to help the Yun family through their difficulties.
Did she not know that she had completely broken ties with the Wei family from the day she started dating Yun Ting?
In order to marry Yun Ting, she did not hesitate to sever ties with the Wei family, which caused quite a stir in the capital at the time.
Many people say that it's a shame that Wei Wan, a woman of exceptional talent and beauty, married such a man.
The old lady was naturally aware of this matter. Now, she was actually sending Wei Wan back to beg the Wei family for help in order to borrow money. What a clever scheme!
Wei Wan now even hates herself for being so blind back then, serving her diligently for more than ten years, only to see the despicable nature of the Yun family now!
