Chapter 345 - 122 Without ruthlessness in women, their status is unstable.
Su Antong woke up and struggled to get up.
A detached voice rang out, "Awake?"
Su Antong was stunned for a moment, then looked up to see a graceful figure standing quietly in front of the window.
"Shu’er...."
"I’ve told you, don’t call me that name."
He pursed his lips, "Lady Yun...."
Yun Shu’s lips curved up slightly, "Did you see the envelope on the bedside table?"
Su Antong followed her gaze to an envelope lying there.
"Inside is one hundred thousand yuan. Take this money and live out the rest of your days well. From now on, this is the end of the only connection between us. Don’t come looking for me again."
"Can the bond between us be severed with just this amount of money? You don’t want to see me, then I will leave, but you absolutely cannot use money to insult me, to insult the emotions between us."
Su Antong looked at her incredulously, "You have changed." He then chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Yeah, decades have passed, who can stay the same."
As he finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the door, "I won’t take your money, and I won’t appear before you in the future."
Yun Shu stood still in her place.
She watched that aging figure walk out of the estate’s main road and disappear into the distance, before chuckling lightly with scorn.

Yun Shen became even more silent, leaving early and returning late, and Yun Ya hadn’t seen him for three days.
Three days later, Kang Jinxian came back.
She handed the test report to Yun Shu.
The results were negative; no infection was present.
Yun Shu glanced indifferently at the girl in front of her, who had lost a lot of weight, her face pale with a sickly whiteness, her chin sharper, her eyes larger, and now, those eyes were slightly downcast, submissive and serene.
"Your wedding with He An is set for next month, how do you feel about it?"
Her eyelashes trembled, and in a low voice, she said, "I will listen to mother."
Yun Shu nodded with satisfaction, "Mm, don’t go to school during this period, just stay at home peacefully. Don’t worry about Li Yue, I will take care of it for you."
"Thank you, mom."
One must go through pain to grow, and endure rebirth to be reborn. With a mocking curve of her lips, Yun Shu wondered whether she was truly repentant or just performing for her.
As long as she behaves more honestly and less rashly in the future, this adopted daughter is still somewhat valuable for now.
"You won’t be able to fight against Ji Yunya. If you want to live longer, you should avoid her when you see her."
Kang Jinxian silently concurred.
Leaving Yun Shu’s room, she came face-to-face with Kang Jinse.
After not seeing her for several days, Kang Jinse looked like she had inflated, gaining weight all around, her complexion ruddy and glowing. One hand on her lower back, the other on her belly, which was still flat, yet she had the air of a pregnant woman.
Upon seeing Kang Jinxian, Kang Jinse walked over with surprise, but in an instant, her expression was full of reproach, "Where have you been these days? Your phone was unreachable. Do you know how worried I’ve been about you?"
Kang Jinxian’s gaze dropped slightly, a trace of coldness flashed briefly in her eyes, and she smiled softly, "I went out of town with some classmates for an event. I intended to inform sister, but then I lost my phone. Mom knows about this. I’m sorry for making sister worry, it was my fault."
So that was the case.
As long as she wasn’t messing around with men, everything was negotiable.
Kang Jinse grabbed her hand, "From now on, make sure to inform me first thing about anything that happens. You don’t know how anxious I’ve been these days; I couldn’t eat or sleep well, it’s been like years."
Couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep well?
Kang Jinxian looked at the plump and content Kang Jinse, and her lips curled with mockery.
Kang Jinse sensed that this sister had changed somewhat after not seeing her for several days. Just standing there silently made her feel uneasy.
Truly, it was like seeing a ghost.
Kang Jinxian returned to her room and sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought for a long time, like a motionless sculpture.
Suddenly, she twisted her neck and rolled her eyes, like a marionette, with an eerie stiffness.
She took out her phone, which had several missed calls.
When she called back, a man’s anxious voice immediately came through, "My dear lady, where have you been? The recording for the top 20 is today, if you don’t show up, I’ll consider you as having forfeited."
It was the agent Gu Cheng.
Kang Jinxian held the phone, her voice low, "I’ll be there on time."

Yun Shu sat in the living room drinking tea, the fragrance of chrysanthemums faintly wafting to her nose, refreshing her spirit.
Kang Jinxian, with her bag on her back, came down from upstairs, "Mom, I need to step out for a bit."
Yun Shu looked up at her, her eyes slightly cold, "It seems you have taken my words for granted."
