Chapter 108 Two-handed safety buckle
Yun Yao's words were all self-deprecating, but it sounded like she was also cursing Bu Lanying.
Everyone gasped and couldn't help but look at Su Yuchen.
Mr. Su, Yun Yao is the woman you brought here. Are you just going to stand by and watch her insult the old lady?
To their surprise, Su Yuchen made no attempt to stop them throughout the entire process; on the contrary, he exuded an aura of...pleasure?
"You! You! How dare you!" Bu Lanying pointed at Yun Yao's nose, furious.
Yun Yao glanced at the finger poking her, her eyes darkening slightly.
What should I do? I want to break that finger of hers that doesn't know any respect!
Just as Yun Yao was pondering what to do with the finger, someone slammed their hand on the table, and a loud, clear voice rang in her ears.
"Who do you think you are, daring to act wildly in my Su family?" Su Weiwen stood in front of Bu Lanying and angrily questioned Yun Yao.
Yun Yao glanced at the finger that Su Weiwen had blocked with some disappointment. Tsk, she couldn't bend it!
But who is this old man in front of me? He's really an eyesore!
Before Yun Yao could speak, Su Yuchen pulled her behind him.
"Dad, I've spoiled Yunyao, that's why she's been so outspoken."
Su Weiwen couldn't do anything about Su Yuchen. He owed Su Yuchen too much, so he always went along with him in everything. Today, the woman Su Yuchen brought offended his mother, and for both reason and emotion, he could no longer indulge him.
However, upon seeing that face that bore the shadow of Xiao Yun, Su Weiwen couldn't vent his anger at all.
"Hmph, spoiling his wife knows no bounds. Now that she's a member of the Su family, she has to abide by our family's rules!"
As soon as Su Weiwen finished speaking, a casual and lazy female voice rang out: "Uncle Su, please don't blame Yu Chen. Yu Chen must have put in a lot of effort to get Miss Yun released today without charge. He must have been a little anxious because he couldn't bear to see her suffer any more after she was released."
Yun Yao looked toward the source of the sound and saw Bai Mengyan looking at her gently and generously.
Ha, no wonder he schemed his way into prison. He speaks so shrewdly, yet he can be so irritating.
Bai Mengyan's every word indicated that Yun Yao's acquittal was inseparable from Su Yuchen's behind-the-scenes manipulation. As long as this seed is planted in everyone's hearts, even if the court verdict clearly states that Yun Yao was acquitted, in their minds, Yun Yao will never be able to clear her name as a murder suspect.
The way everyone in the hall looked at Yun Yao immediately changed, filled with scrutiny and disgust.
Su Yuchen naturally understood the implication in Bai Mengyan's words, and he shot Bai Mengyan an extremely displeased look.
Bai Mengyan seemed to have suffered a great injustice, and her eyes instantly filled with tears.
"Yu Chen, did I say something wrong?"
Su Yuchen gave her a cold look, then subtly looked away.
"Yun Yao isn't..."
"Third brother!"
"Uncle!" A voice, one big and one small, interrupted Su Yuchen's attempt to defend Yun Yao.
A woman in a blue suit and high heels walked forward, holding the hand of a handsome young man.
Although Su Lan is forty-five years old, she still retains her charm. Her short hair is neat and capable, her features are exquisite, and her every move exudes the demeanor of a strong woman.
"Dad, Zichen heard that our third brother is here and is making a fuss about wanting to see his uncle."
Yun Zichen: "..." When did I ever ask to see my uncle? I'm trying to avoid him!
“Zichen, isn’t this your uncle? And that beautiful auntie, call her Auntie.” Su Lan pushed the reluctant Yun Zichen forward.
Yun Zichen glanced timidly at Yun Yao, then looked at Su Yuchen, who still had an icy expression, and stammered, "Aunt... Aunt."
Yun Yao looked at the fluffy little creature in front of her, her eyes shimmering with tenderness.
Isn't this the little crybaby I saw at the racetrack the other day?
"Hello, little nephew!" Yun Yao bent down and rubbed Yun Zichen's head.
Suddenly, a beautiful safety buckle appeared in her left palm, which was behind her back. Su Yuchen, who was standing next to her, saw her little action clearly, but he did not expose her.
"Since it's our first meeting, your aunt didn't prepare a nice gift for you. This is a safety amulet that I always carry with me. I'm giving it to you." Yun Yao placed the safety amulet in Yun Zichen's small palm.
The cool touch entered his palm, and Yun Zichen thanked her without hesitation: "Thank you, Auntie!"
Yun Yao stood up, her face full of tenderness.
Standing opposite her, Su Lan took in Yun Yao's expression and couldn't help but nod. This third sister-in-law of hers was no ordinary person!
Su Weiwen's accusations were interrupted by Su Lan, who had no intention of continuing. After all, this was the Su family, and Su Yuchen and Yun Yao were now representing the Su family's reputation. If things really turned sour, others would be the ones laughing at them.
"Alright, everyone, please sit down!" Su Weiwen said.
Su Lan, who was standing in front of Su Weiwen, then nodded slightly to Yun Yao.
Yun Yao naturally realized that Su Lan was trying to help her out of a predicament, thus preserving the Su family's reputation and winning the favor of her younger sister-in-law. It must be said that not all members of the Su family are so snobbish; there are still some smart ones among them.
Yun Yao nodded slightly, which was her response.
But there were always people who didn't like Yun Yao, and a sarcastic voice rang out again: "Since when can you give gifts that you've already given yourself? Don't you respect the Su family?"
Su Feng stood up and looked at Yun Yao with displeasure.
The Su family is powerful, and Su Lan's son has taken the surname Yan. Everyone knows how much Old Madam Bu dotes on this "great-grandson," so Su Feng's words are understandable.
Su Yuchen and Yun Yao had just sat down when they heard Su Feng say this.
A storm brewed in Yun Yao's eyes, and she lost her patience.
Suddenly, Su Yuchen placed his hand on hers, signaling her to calm down.
Compared to the treacherous people in the Su family, he trusted Yun Yao more.
The way she looked at Zichen just now was clearly full of affection. Besides, based on his understanding of Yun Yao, Yun Yao was used to being generous, so how could she be stingy enough to give Zichen something she had used?
The Su family banquet is a gathering place for the wealthy in the capital, and naturally, it has no shortage of professional treasure appraisers.
"Yun Zichen, show the safety amulet in your hand to that old man next to you," Su Yuchen said indifferently.
When Yun Yao gave Yun Zichen the safety amulet, Su Yuchen noticed that an old man in the corner had his eyes light up. Presumably, there must be something unusual about this safety amulet.
Yun Zichen, somewhat bewildered, handed the safety amulet in his hand to an elderly man in a gray suit next to him.
"Grandpa, please."
The old man could not hide his excitement as he carefully accepted the safety buckle.
The old man is the behind-the-scenes owner of Huaguo Zhenbaozhai and the pioneer of jadeite appraisal in the industry. It's impossible for anyone not to know him.
Seeing how agitated the old man was, everyone fell silent for a moment.
Su Feng's expression was also very unpleasant. Could there really be something fishy about the second-hand safety amulet that Yun Yao gave to that brat?
