Yun Nan laughed when she heard that.

Gu Wei Imew Yun Nan wouldn’t dare to fly into a rage before the camera, so she brazenly said, “You’ve seen how talented Yun Nan is. Her movie made Shi Xiu popular, so now she could make Yun Liu popular, too; if Yun Nan didn’t support her own older sister, she would be a laughing stock! Don’t you think so? Yun Nan?”

When Yun Nan didn’t respond, Gu Wei was even more loose with her words and stated, “Tan Ning has told me that all your scripts are suitable for Yun Liu. Your sister doesn’t mind if she’s a lead role or a supporting character. We’re all family, and Yun Liu isn’t a picky person. Tan Ning said that Yun Liu is mainly honing her acting skills now. She’s smart, and with you to guide her, she’ll definitely be a success. Yun Nan, we’re family, so I’ll just come right out and ask: That’s okay with you, right?”

“No, it’s not,” Yun Nan detachedly replied.

Gu Wei was stunned. She didn’t expect Yun Nan to be so direct, but she was very calm as she uttered, “Alright. Tell me what you’re unhappy with!”

Yun Nan was also quite calm when she answered, “I’m unhappy about everything you have planned for me. Sorry, but I can’t and won’t accept them. My studio is an independent legal entity and will not merge with any other company. However, if the Yun Corporation can’t continue operating and you wish to sell it, I can consider taking it over. None of our studio’s works are created to support any one person; if that’s what you want, you’ve got the wrong person.”

Gu Wei was stupefied. Yun Nan spoke too quickly; Gu Wei’s mind couldn’t keep up with what her daughter was saying, and she had a hard time processing.

Yun Nan turned to the person filming them and smiled at her. “You’re Tan Ning, right? If you’re trying to cherry-pick and take my words out of context, then please find out my relationship with the Yun family before you do so.

Though I am the Yun family’s biological daughter, they never raised me. If you must insist that I owe them for giving birth to me, then the scripts I wrote and the films I produced for the Yun Corporation are more than enough to make up for it. I hate moral blackmail the most; if you must use this method to deal with me, then come at me for all I care.”

“M-moral blackmail? What are you talking about? How can you say such a thing? I’m politely discussing matters with you here, so why did you bring Tan Ning into this? I’m talking about our family! I’m asking you—do you care about the Yun family? Do you care about Yun Liu?” Gu Wei’s tone became unyielding towards the end of her speech.

Yun Nan looked at her and said composedly, “I don’t.’

Gu Wei was furious. “You…!”

Yun Zhang took a deep breath and uttered, “Mom, let’s go. Stop making a scene. I’ll handle Yun Liu’s matters. It has nothing to do with Yun Nan. Stop making things difficult for her!”

Gu Wei blew up when she heard that. “I’m making things difficult for her? How am I making things difficult for her? I’m her mother! Shouldn’t she listen to me?! Shouldn’t she do whatever I ask her to do? Yun Liu is her sister; shouldn’t she help her? If she’s disobedient, then she’s being disrespectful to her parents! I’ll go out and tell the media she’s unfilial! So what if she’s famous?! I’ll tell everyone that she is an unfilial daughter!”

Yun Nan raised her voice slightly and said, “So if I listen to you, if I make Yun Liu famous, if I give this studio to Yun Zhang… I’ll be a filial daughter, is that right?”

“That’s right!” Gu Wei shouted without hesitation.

“Mom!” Yun Zhang snapped.

Yun Nan softly exhaled and told her, “Alright, then go ahead and tell the masses!”

Yun Nan ?shocked by Yun Nan’s nonchalance. “You! Aren’t you afraid of what others will think? You’ll be disgraced!”

Yun Nan gently shook her head and replied, “I’m not afraid because there’s nothing to be afraid of. I even begged for food after my adoptive parents passed away, so what’s so disgraceful about this? I built everything I have today, bit by bit. I didn’t rely on any support from the Yun family—not one single bit. I earned everything I have myself; what do I have to be afraid of?”

Gu Wei was trembling with anger. “Why are you so stubborn?” she hissed. “You don’t care about us because you think our family didn’t raise you. So what? It doesn’t change the fact that you’re our daughter! We could’ve gotten along harmoniously, but those outsiders who raised you corrupted you. You always thought we were unfair to you, and you keep wanting to drive Yun Liu out.

You’re so heartless!”

Yun Nan stared at the elegant and luxuriously dressed woman before her, decked in designer brands from head to toe. ‘ This is my birth mother,’ she inwardly sighed.

Gu Wei had stood in front of her and unashamedly accused her. Her accusations were illogical and unjustified, but she didn’t feel guilty at all.

At this moment, Yun Nan had deep regrets. ‘ Why did I come back? Why was I so adamant about finding my biological parents? she thought.. ‘Isn’t it better for me to be my adoptive parents’ child for the rest of my life? If my adoptive parents weren’t so insistent on finding my parents, would they have been able to stay alive and accompany me for a few more years? Would I have had the chance to be filial to them?
