Chapter 401: Unscrupulous
"So they are twins." Uncle Yun didn’t look relieved. Because, whether it was Lanni or her sister, his daughter had indeed been robbed of the opportunity to be with the man she loved.
"Dad, let’s go home first. You must have had a long flight." Xiaoshi hooked her arm around her father’s to avert the argument that was about to break out.
When he entered the car, Xiaoshi stopped Xiehan, looking aggrieved. "I’m sorry, cousin. I had always rattled to him about how I felt. When I found out that Xingyu is engaged, I told him about it too... I didn’t know he would blame Lanni."
Xiehan studied his cousin and wondered whether she didn’t deliberately say something misleading to her father. Her expression was filled with sadness but not an ounce of guilt, so he believed that it was Uncle Yun who had overreacted on his own. Besides, he knew the girl well enough, and he knew that she was not the type to forcefully hog on what did not belong to her. As for how Uncle Yun got a picture of Xingyu’s fiancée, he could have done some digging. Xingyu’s and Luna’s engagement party was so grand. Countless media outlets had written articles in magazines and published videos on their websites. Hence, he patted her head. "It’s okay. As long as you know your place."
Seeing that her cousin did not misunderstand her, she was relieved. "I know."
...
Lanni did not understand why Uncle Yun seemed to be hostile towards her. Even so, she remained polite to him and stuck to Xiehan’s side most of the time.
The middle-aged couple was tired, so the servants prepared refreshments.
"What are you busy with, recently?" Uncle Yun asked Lanni, out of the blue.
It was a normal question, so Lanni politely answered, "I work at a news agency."
As soon as she spoke, the man’s eyes furrowed. "So you’re a reporter. I heard reporters earn more money if they publish huge scandals, so they usually make up fake tales just for traffic."
