Chapter 53 The Wind Rises
As for her lost magical power, she could have simply absorbed it from him like those unscrupulous cultivators. The fact that she had been locked in a stalemate with Su Yuchen until now was undoubtedly because she didn't want to kill him.
However, he repeatedly challenged his own bottom line.
Yun Yao, having been the matriarch for so many years, had never encountered someone so eager to die. Everyone who knew her identity respected and revered her. Initially, he was unaware, and ignorance was no excuse. But now, how dare he?
"Su Yuchen, who gave you the audacity?"
Yun Yao was enraged. The fine tempered glass cracked like a spider web, and all the porcelain furnishings in the office shattered, making a loud noise.
She raised her hand slightly, and a milky white gas instantly shot towards Su Yuchen's face. The person opposite her looked at Yun Yao with confidence, without any fear in his eyes.
Yun Yao's clothes fluttered, and stray hairs from her temples brushed against her face, making her look like a demon from the night who had returned from hell, terrifying beyond measure.
The person in contrast to her now seemed like a holy messenger descended from the heavens, his body enveloped in a faint light.
With a loud bang, a milky white stream of air, carrying a chilling intent, passed by Su Yuchen's ear and slammed directly into the door behind him.
The door was intact at first, but it shattered into dust the moment Yun Yao turned around.
It's hard to imagine what the consequences would be if this hit someone.
Yun Yao turned away without hesitation, her face cold and indifferent. Not killing Su Yuchen was already her last act of mercy.
"Su Yuchen, once I find a way to restore your magical power, I will divorce you." Yun Yao left these words behind and resolutely departed.
This was a scene that Su Yuchen had always dreamed of seeing, but when it actually arrived, he wasn't as happy as he had imagined.
Chen Dong waited by the door until Yun Yao left, then rushed into the office.
When he saw the mess in the office, he froze on the spot.
"Master, you guys got into a fight?" Chen Dong asked in shock.
Su Yuchen did not answer Chen Dong. Standing amidst the chaos, he absentmindedly said, "Clean this up."
Chen Dong nodded, wanting to ask something more, but before he could speak, he saw Su Yuchen pick up his coat and stride out.
"I'm leaving the company to you for now." Without waiting for Chen Dong's reply, Su Yuchen left the office.
Too many things have happened lately, even he needs to calm down. He needs to think things through and reflect on all this absurdity.
Su Yuchen drove the car out of the garage and sped away.
Meanwhile, on the rooftop of Yonsei International, a man in black watched Su Yuchen's car drive away, a smirk playing on his lips beneath his baseball cap.
"Hiss—that stinky Taoist priest was right. This capital city really is a treasure land of feng shui! It's been a long time since I've seen such nourishing things." The man's slightly hoarse voice rang out in the open space.
A moment later, his figure disappeared from the spot, as if he had never been there at all.
Cross-Island Cafe.
Sitting in an inconspicuous corner was a woman wearing sunglasses. The large frames partially obscured her beauty as she waited anxiously.
A moment later, a man wearing round retro glasses sat down opposite the woman, looking slightly flustered.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Su, there was a traffic jam on the way, so I'm late," the man said with a smile.
After sizing up the man, Bai Mengyan took out a bank card from her bag and pushed it in front of him.
"A deposit of 200,000 is required. I will only pay the remaining 500,000 after I receive a definite answer," Bai Mengyan said bluntly.
The man seemed surprised by her quick agreement; after taking the bank card, he quickly put it in his bag.
"Okay, I'll give you an answer tomorrow," the man said as he stood up.
Bai Mengyan nodded slightly, and only got up and left after the man left and she was sure there were no paparazzi taking pictures.
Yun Yao left Yanshi International and went straight back to the Yun family home. As soon as she entered, she saw Yun Xinru and Qiao Lan sitting on the sofa.
Yun Xinru was, after all, Yun Zhengfeng's own granddaughter. The bond of kinship, even if broken, is not something that can be severed so easily. Yun Yao understood this, but right now, she really had no mood to deal with them. With the attitude of "out of sight, out of mind," she walked towards the stairs.
"Sister, did you just come back from school?" Yun Xinru's voice rang out.
Yun Yao's hands, hanging by her sides, gradually tightened. If she hadn't wanted to argue with these little brats, she would have slapped Yun Xinru across the face long ago.
"None of your business?" Yun Yao didn't even turn her head.
Yun Zhengfeng was overjoyed to see Yun Yao return, but seeing that Yun Yao was in such a bad mood, he didn't dare to say anything for a moment, and just glared at Yun Xinru.
Yun Xinru completely disregarded Yun Zhengfeng's warning, and her sharp, piercing voice rang out again.
"Sister, you don't look like you just came back from school. That's terrible! Because of your truancy, the archaeology professor has already notified the whole school! If you don't go today, you'll probably be criticized at the school assembly tomorrow!"
Yun Xinru's words seemed to be for Yun Yao's sake, but the smug and gloating expression on her face immediately betrayed her.
Yun Yao finally stopped, slowly turned around, and looked at Yun Xinru expressionlessly.
"Yun Xinru, while I was being nailed to the pillar of shame and cursed for a hundred years, you were probably still reincarnated somewhere. It's just a school assembly, so come along."
After leaving those words behind, Yun Yao went straight upstairs.
Yun Xinru didn't understand what Yun Yao meant. She only felt that she had been greatly wronged, and immediately started crying with Yun Zhengfeng.
Qiao Lan naturally sided with her daughter, pointing at Yun Yao's back and cursing, "Yun Yao, who do you think you are? Your sister kindly reminded you, and you not only don't appreciate it, but you also put on such a high and mighty act for whoever you're trying to impress. You're just some random pheasant who thinks you're a phoenix!"
Qiao Lan finally vented her pent-up resentment and began to speak without restraint.
Looking at the faces of the mother and son, Yun Zhengfeng found himself breathless, his chest heaving and his face turning bright red.
After a long while, he finally managed to catch his breath.
"You bastards! Get out! All of you get out! Don't ever come to the old house again!" Yun Zhengfeng was furious, his eyes wide with rage.
Qiao Lan and Yun Xinru were clearly frightened by Yun Zhengfeng's appearance and immediately fell silent.
"Dad!" Qiao Lan thought Yun Zhengfeng was just saying it out of anger, and said unwillingly.
"Get out! Did you hear me? Get out! I don't want to see you again!" Yun Zhengfeng pointed to the gate, his attitude firm and brooking no refusal from anyone.
Qiao Lan and Yun Xinru were somewhat afraid of Yun Zhengfeng now. With Yun Jianghai gone, even if they had the guts, they wouldn't dare to go against the old man, and could only slink away.
Watching the door close, Yun Zhengfeng plopped down on the sofa, his face filled with deep self-reproach.
Today, Qiao Lan brought Yun Xinru to his door. Her attitude of admitting her mistakes was obvious, and every word she said was meant to please him. He thought that the second son's family had finally come to their senses. Little did he expect that they were truly like dogs that could not change their nature.
