<strong>Capítulo 1273: Chapter 1286</strong>


    “Cousin.” Cloud responded, her tone distant, silently withdrawing her arm from her hand and walking inside. She admitted that she always yed the role of the obedient daughter at home, but that didn’t mean she had to smile at everyone.


    Seeing moming out of the kitchen with a te of her favorite sweet and sour pork, she affectionately took mom’s arm, “Mom, I’ve missed you.”


    “You silly girl, always trying to please your mother, go y with your cousin for a while, we’ll have dinner soon.” Shen Su smiled knowingly, looking at her well-behaved and sensible daughter, finally grown up and married, though she felt a little reluctant in her heart…


    Cloud noticed a faint mncholy in mom’s eyes, and instead of letting go, she shook mom’s arm yfully, “Mom, if you’re so reluctant, how about I move back home?”


    “What nonsense are you talking about? Go y.” Shen Su urged her to leave, then turned around and went back to the kitchen.


    Cloud heard mom sigh lightly as she turned, instinctively calling out, “Mom…”


    Shen Su hurriedly wiped the corner of her eye and turned back to ask, “What’s wrong?”


    “…where’s my sister?” Cloud really had nothing else, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally asked this.


    Shen Su pointed upstairs and then turned into the kitchen.


    Cloud uttered an acknowledgment, greeted the rtives who came to the house, and went upstairs.


    She slowed down in front of her sister’s door, turned to look at her own room. The door was closed tight, but with her favorite cartoon stickers and the name she and her sister whimsically gave to her little nook, simple and cozy, unlike the princess room she lives in now, beautiful but very oppressive.


    At that moment, the door to her sister’s room suddenly opened from the inside.


    “Cloud, you’re back.”


    She affectionately wrapped her arms around Yunjin’s arm, leaning her whole body against her sister. “Sis, what are you doing alone upstairs?”


    “Cloud, why do you smell like garlic? You haven’t started experimenting with strange perfumes again, have you?”


    “No,” Cloud puckered her mouth, but with her sister’s sharp nose, she felt a little guilty, quickly shifting the topic, “Sis, can you talk to mom and let me stay tonight?”


    “Did that guy bully you?” Yunjin frowned, looking at Cloud with worry.


    “No, it’s just been so long since we shared a bed.” Cloud pursed her lips. Muye is probably several years older than her sister, and ever since she knew they were getting married, her sister kept calling him that guy.


    Feeling ufortable under her sister’s gaze, afraid she’d figure something out, Cloud started to act spoiled, “What, you don’t want to share a bed with me now?”


    “Cousin, Cloud,” a voice suddenly came from behind, Liu Yuqing raised her chin, not knowing what she was showing off about, “Come down for dinner.”


    Yunjin and Cloud exchanged looks, preparing to head downstairs.


    Liu Yuqing deliberatelygged behind, curiously asking, “Why didn’t Mr. Linge with you? Are you guys not getting along? Has he put you in the Cold Pce?”


    Cloud’s forehead twitched with ck lines, did she make it so obvious? She struggled as Liu Yuqing held her arm tightly, unable to break free.


    “Liu Yuqing, what wicked intentions do you have to curse my sister like this?!”


    Yunjin suddenly turned around, ring fiercely at Liu Yuqing. Since childhood, she never hoped for anything good to happen to Cloud.


    “Cousin, I’m just concerned about Cloud. She’s so timid, and I heard Muye is like a ghost. What if Cloud gets eaten up with no bones left?”


    Liu Yuqing’s words were interrupted by Cloud’s phone ringing. Cloud took the opportunity to break free from Liu Yuqing, leaving her and her sister facing each other, fuming.


    Cloud looked suspiciously at the screen disying the number from the Ling Family Old Mansion, and answered it.


    “Cloud, did you rest wellst night?” As soon as she answered, Yang Lan’s caring voice came through the phone.


    Cloud’s mind involuntarily shed with Muye’s cold and handsome face, really wanting to shout out that her son was a devil! He had no mercy, throwing her out. But she was used to speaking softly in front of elders, and the words naturally turned into, “Pretty good, thanks for your concern, Aunt.”


    “This child, why are you still calling me Aunt,” Yang Lan slightly scolded, seemingly expecting something.


    “Mom.” Cloud obediently called, hearing giggles from the phone. She mimicked theughter.


    “Good, good, good child, what about Muye? I called him but he didn’t answer.”


    “Probably… busy,” Cloud said guiltily.


    Yang Lan had already learned from the nanny that Cloud had returned to the Xia Family today, calling just to show concern and improve the rtionship between mother-inw and daughter-inw. She thought this child was also innocent. Muye is like a piece of her heart, she knows exactly what he’s thinking. She didn’t expose Cloud, simply said a few words, and hung up the phone.


    …


    Cloud sat at the dining table, quietly eating and asionally responding to rtives’ questions.


    Liu Yuqing didn’t give up, despite being somewhat intimidated with Yunjin there, she had little fear. She didn’t want to miss this chance to bully Cloud, feeling sure that Cloud was not favored next to Muye. She asked Cloud, “Cloud, it’s the first day of your marriage with Muye today, why didn’t hee back to visit? Is he taking the inws lightly?”


    Her expression and tone clearly signaled to everyone present that Muye didn’t care about them.


    Cloud’s hand trembled while holding the chopsticks, the food she was holding fell onto the table, her face flushed red. Her evident panic was more than she wanted, seen by Liu Yuqing and noticed by others, whose faces also turned awkward.


    Cloud softly exined, “He’s too busy with work, he’lle over once he’s free.”


    Liu Yuqing continued, “It’s already twelve o’clock; even if he’s busy, he has to eat, right? Why don’t you call and ask? If hees when we’re done, we’ll seem so impolite.”


    “That’s right, that’s right.”


    Cloud sat there, holding her phone, undecided. Dialing wasn’t right, not dialing wasn’t right. She couldn’t possibly tell everyone she didn’t have Muye’s personal number, right? Seeing Cloud hesitate, Liu Yuqing looked at her with a fake smile, urging her to make the call.


    Yunjin mmed her chopsticks onto the table, ring angrily at Liu Yuqing, “What does calling or not calling have to do with you? Since when did our Xia Family’s matters concern an outsider like you?”


    Shen Su tugged at Yunjin from the side, signaling her to talk less.


    “Mom, am I wrong? Since when could a bastard dare to act wild in our house?!”


    Hearing Yunjin’s words, everyone present fell silent. Everyone knew that Liu Yuqing was her mother’s illegitimate child with a man outside, their family’s open secret.
