Chapter 519: Chapter 484: Wreaking Havoc at the Banquet

Yun Jiao didn’t hide the matter from her family. After confirming things with Song Qing, now her godmother, she called and told everyone else.

Hearing the news, they were all filled with righteous indignation.

Her brothers who weren’t in the Capital—aside from Yun Chendong and Yun Chenxi, who couldn’t get away—all said they would come to the Capital within a few days to back her up.

As for her biological father, Yun Jiao suspected he might have been from the Water Weaving Woman Clan.

While the Water Weaving Woman Clan lived in seclusion, it wasn’t as if no one ever left.

It was just that those who left almost never returned.

It wasn’t a matter of ingratitude, but a rule of the Water Weaving Woman Clan. They had been captured so many times in ancient history that they lived in fear. Thus, successive clan leaders had decreed that any member who left could never return, nor could they ever reveal their heritage.

They were afraid someone might still know of their existence, and that a departing member might lead outsiders back, bringing annihilation upon the clan.

Based on what she’d learned from her godmother, his unusual hair and eye color, along with his exceptional affinity for water, were all consistent with the traits of the Water Weaving Woman Clan.

‘No, I have to find some time to ask about this.’

‘I just don’t know if this so-called father of mine is still alive.’

‘He’s most likely dead. After all, if he were alive, he wouldn’t have gone so long without looking for Mom.’

‘The possibility that he was just a scumbag who didn’t really care about Mom is pretty small.’

‘From what I’ve observed, the people of the Water Weaving Woman Clan are quite devoted and faithful.’

Yun Jiao dispatched people to look for a man with blue hair. If he was still alive, such a conspicuous hair color shouldn’t be hard to track down.

Before the day of Su Kangcheng’s birthday banquet, she received the information about the Su family that Brother Qi and the others had dug up for her.

‘She took a look. Whoa… what a circus.’

Su Kangcheng and Sun Shuzhen were known in their social circle as a model couple, and their reputations were considered fairly decent.

But privately, Su Kangcheng had two mistresses stashed away in different places, as well as an illegitimate son and daughter.

Those two children were even older than the son Sun Shuzhen later gave birth to.

Furthermore, after taking over the An family’s businesses, he had cut ties with several high-quality medicinal herb suppliers to lower costs and increase profits, switching instead to vendors with inferior products.

Sun Shuzhen wasn’t any better. Perhaps after discovering Su Kangcheng had someone on the side, she had secretly started cheating on him as well.

She just hadn’t let Su Kangcheng find out.

Su Kangcheng himself would probably never believe that the woman who acted so deeply in love with him would have the nerve to do such a thing.

Yun Jiao had nothing to say about that.

It was just a case of tit for tat.

Sun Shuzhen was also secretly transferring some of Su Kangcheng’s assets to support her own family. Her younger brother had a gambling addiction, and his demands were growing.

As the older sister, Sun Shuzhen was always cleaning up his messes. Now, her brother had racked up another huge debt, and she was desperate.

They had also finished digging into the nanny’s background.

Song Qing’s plan was to get the nanny to flip and reveal the truth of what happened back then.

But to get that kind of leverage on someone, you need to know their weakness.

Just bribing the nanny with money wouldn’t be enough.

The nanny had two sons, and her favorite, the youngest, had made a “mistake” seven years ago.

Consumed by unrequited love for a girl, he had violated her. Then, fearing exposure, he killed her.

The nanny had handled the cover-up for her son, and Sun Shuzhen had a hand in it as well.

Yun Jiao called Yun Xiaojiu.

“Brother Nine, can you do some digging for me? See if you can find any evidence from that murder the nanny’s son committed.”

“No problem, leave it to me,” Yun Xiaojiu replied.

「The day of Su Kangcheng’s birthday banquet arrived quickly.」

Song Qing arrived with Yun Jiao, making a show-stopping entrance as the final guests.

“Well now, I hope we’re not late.”

Their arrival was certainly an attention-grabber.

Yun Jiao wore a cheongsam in the style of blue-and-white porcelain. She was already beautiful, and at a glance, she looked like a graceful, exquisite piece of porcelain that had come to life.

Su Kangcheng looked at Song Qing and just smiled, saying they weren’t.

His gaze then fell on Yun Jiao. Looking at her face, he felt a nagging sense of familiarity, but he couldn’t quite place it.

“It’s you.”

Su Nian recognized Yun Jiao at a glance. After all, no one else could possibly have such a natural-looking hair color, even with dye.

Yun Jiao smiled at Su Nian. “Long time no see. You’ve grown up.”

Su Nian was speechless.
