Chapter 15: Like a Queen

Luo Yun’s words silenced the entire room. Even Bai Qihan was stunned. However, Luo Yun’s face was firm. “I’m not asking for your opinion. I am merely informing you of what will happen. I will declare all my rights to any inheritance forfeit. Naturally, you will have to abandon any support from me as well. After this, we will no longer be legally related.”

Yu Xia was stunned for a while. She slowly recovered from her stupor, still questioning if she had heard correctly. “Luo Yun, is your heart made of cold steel? Your father took care of you for over ten years. Do you really think that you can sever relations with your family just because you want to? You really are no different from a white-eyed wolf that bites the hand that fed it!”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yun laughed out loud. “Took care of me for over ten years? You really have quite the gall to be saying that. Do you think that providing a mouthful of food and a bed is all that it takes to raise someone? Fine, I can count that as you raising me, but then what about all the work you’ve made me do all these years? I slept later than a dog and woke up earlier than a chicken. There were servants at home, but I could never finish the mountain of work I was given and even had to endure endless bullying. The clothes I wore were the ones you guys were prepared to throw away. As for my living expenses, I had to squeeze out a little time every day to work part-time outside just so that I could have some money. Then, because the school fees were too expensive, you forced me to drop out? And may I just ask, what did you feed me?”

In the end, Luo Yun seemed to resonate with the original Luo Yun, who had suffered all kinds of grievances in this place; or rather, she found herself able to feel the pain that the original Luo Yun had suffered. “I don’t want to talk about the past anymore. I’ll get my lawyer to talk to you. So, Yu Xia, consider it carefully. Are you going to kneel down and apologize to me or not?”

Yu Xia was speechless.

Bai Qihan finally looked at her.

Is this still the same Luo Yun? Decisive, sharp-tongued, and logical?

Luo Yun felt his gaze and showed him an indescribable smile. She stood up from her chair. “If you don’t want to apologize, that’s fine. I’m not that bent on settling all accounts. In exchange, you simply need to compensate me with more money. Everyone, do you have any more questions?” She asked as she looked around.

At this moment, she was like a queen.

“Are you not going to say anything? Then I’ll be taking your silence as agreement.” Luo Yun clapped her hands. “Alright. You just have to wait for the bill and declaration, and that’s that.” She then placed her hand on Bai Qihan’s wheelchair and her tone immediately softened. “Honey, let’s go.”

Just like that, Luo Yun pushed Bai Qihan away.

Back in the car, Luo Yun suddenly started crying. “I… Never wanted to make a big deal out of this… It’s just that today… They went too far…” She bit her lip and moved closer to Bai Qihan. “Look at my lips; it’s injured…”

“Then we should quickly get you to the hospital,” said Bai Qihan softly. “Otherwise, we can just wait for it to heal.”

Luo Yun was speechless.

“It really hurt back then. I was thrilled that I could finally have some food, but then I ended up not being able to eat anything. Luo Ziqiong had suddenly run over and pushed me, causing the fork to nearly pierce my throat. It was really dangerous,” she said as she gestured to her throat. “Also, that steak was freshly made. The chef even specially gave it to me…”

Now that she brought this matter up, she discovered that she still felt a little angry. Her fresh and delicious steak…

“So you violently grabbed her hair and threw her into the swimming pool?” Bai Qihan’s tone was hard to decipher when he said that.

“I… I just failed to control my strength… Luo Ziqiong was just too wasteful!” Luo Yun said angrily.

“Then you slapped your second sister two times? What was it for?” Bai Qihan suddenly wanted to hear what other reasons she had.

Luo Yun thought for a moment and said, “She had a loose mouth. She was speaking badly about you. I simply could not accept it.”

Bai Qihan finally understood. He had grown up in the midst of all these cold words. He had already become numb to these things.

“I hit her for your sake. So, I was not being unreasonable.” Luo Yun moved closer and leaned on his shoulder. She said carefully, “You won’t blame me, will you?”

Bai Qihan turned around and stared at her. In the dark, only the girl’s small and delicate outline could be seen, as well as the tears in her eyes.

She had fought with someone else for his sake?

She was now doing things that she would never have done in the past. Moreover, she even declared that she wanted to sever all ties with the Luo family in their residence and right in front of him today. It was truly shocking. Could it be that he had never really truly understood her? Was everything that had happened to her in the past, when she was weak and constantly bullied, merely lies? Or could it be that right now, she had put on another mask?

Luo Yun blinked and looked at him sincerely. Her words came from the bottom of her heart; she was not lying.
