Chapter 38 -32 No Out of Bounds and Shows No Love
Blue Coral crashed onto the tiled floor of the first-floor hall.
Coral is fragile, and Yun Yuwan, ignoring her pain, hurriedly scrambled to her feet, and immediately saw that pieces of Blue Coral were scattered all over the ground downstairs.
The slender branches were unrecognizable, lying in sections throughout the first-floor hall, and she hurriedly went downstairs to pick them up.
Her heart was in turmoil as if numerous pins were pricking her, making her frantic but clueless about what to do.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford to buy Blue Coral and was even willing to scrape together the money to compensate for the problem, but this was the Wen Family’s home, not the outside world, where her money was useless.
As she was panicking, the cell phone in the living room suddenly rang. She looked over and saw that her brother’s phone had been left at home.
With pieces of Blue Coral in one hand, unsure what to do, she used the back of her finger to slide down and answer the call.
The restrained, cool voice came out, “Hello.”
Not daring to say another word, fearing her sobs would betray her, she said, “…Hello.”
Wen Yangzhi recognized it was her voice and didn’t say much, remaining calm and succinct:
“Have the servant bring the phone to the headquarters. I’ll have my secretary wait in the hall.”
She held back the tearful urgency in her heart, pretending everything was fine, “Oh, okay, I’ll go in a moment…”
But starting with the word ‘oh,’ she couldn’t help but cry, unable to continue her sentence, tears clogging her throat so she couldn’t make a sound.
There was a moment of silence on the other end before a smooth and serene question arose, assertive yet calming:
“Why are you crying?”
Unable to suppress her sobs, she said, “Brother, I broke the Blue Coral, what should I do… Can I go buy a replacement in time?”
Blue Coral, where could one possibly buy Blue Coral?
Yet, from the other end came an unshaken hum, “It’s fine, just hand the phone to the butler and have someone bring it over.”
He only addressed the matter of the phone.
She held the Blue Coral in her hand as if drowning in the blue of the coral, then the call was abruptly disconnected from the other side.
She felt suddenly dropped, as if from a high cliff without anything to hold on to, like the sensation of falling sharply in a dream, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
She finally realized that her brother had no intentions of helping her, and he was not aware of the precarious situation she was in.
She weakly returned the coral to its place and wiped away her tears with her sleeve before going to find the butler.
Mentioning the phone nearly made her tears well up again, not because of the Blue Coral, but because of her brother’s attitude.
She spoke softly, maintaining a façade of calm, “Brother said, to have someone take the phone to the headquarters, his secretary is waiting on the first floor.”
The butler, seeing her close to tears though not knowing the reason, only found it amusing as he took the phone and left.
She wasn’t foolish, she could sense the contempt.
When Auntie Qin returned in the evening, the servants hadn’t yet had the chance to tell her about the Blue Coral.
Yun Yuwan spoke up, “Auntie, the blue coral you brought back from overseas has been broken.”
Yun Yuwan was filled with trepidation, her speech almost quivering under the strain.
This was nearly the last straw that crushed her.
Because she lived in someone else’s home, she always felt the need to please, any slight change in tone would make her feel like she had done something wrong.
She couldn’t allow her presence to alter the established lifestyle and habits of others, observing words and expressions carefully, not daring to commit any act that might be disliked.
She knew that it was only by relying on the Wen Family that those greedy relatives wouldn’t come to snatch her parents’ house and inheritance, wouldn’t come to bully her.
She knew the Wen family had shown her kindness, and she couldn’t speak of even the smallest grievance or lack of care she experienced.
She had slept on a hard mattress for a full three months, her back aching from it, always struggling to reach the high shower head during baths, carefully standing on the sink to adjust it. At school, she was extra careful, worried about teachers calling her guardians, worried about causing them trouble.
She feared the night because she would think about her parents, often unable to sleep the whole night through. She would be very hungry, but she didn’t dare to go out to eat, didn’t dare to summon the servants to cook for her like Auntie Zhao Qin, didn’t dare touch anything in the kitchen for fear of breaking something and causing trouble.
Even the occasional reminder from a servant, “Miss Yun, next time don’t leave the shower head hanging down, it’s easy to break. We won’t replace all of them, just yours, and we definitely have to justify the purchase to the housekeeper,” made her apologize in fear.
She didn’t like eating rice cakes in the morning at all because her stomach was weak, she couldn’t digest them, and they would make her abdomen feel heavy and painful all morning.
But the auntie liked them, so she could only join her in eating them.
Her room was previously the auntie’s wardrobe, and although many cabinets were moved out, there were still two combined wall cabinets that couldn’t be moved. The auntie would always suddenly come in, searching for some clothes or jewelry she suddenly wanted to wear. She longed for her own private space, but she didn’t have the right.
Her room’s bathroom didn’t have a trash bin provided for her; tissue paper could be flushed, but not sanitary pads. She didn’t dare to toss used pads outside her room in the trash bin, because it was private waste. She had to wait until she went out to discreetly throw it away in a trash can outside of school, wrapped in tissue.
A person who had been confident all her life had become a child who had to live by reading others’ faces, because she had no parents, no one to stand up for her.
Her confidence had become feigned confidence. Any little good thing that happened was amplified to console herself, to deceive herself into thinking her presence was still powerfully affirmed. So, confidence turned into narcissistic disorder. A person forced to overcompensate for confidence couldn’t truly be confident, only possessing an over-sensitive self-esteem.
So, that night her brother waited for her, that moment he took her to offer incense, that second he draped the coat over her shoulders, her world experienced a magnitude ten earthquake; heaven and earth shook, rivers ran backward.
But in this moment, she knew clearly that she was causing trouble for others, a big mess at that.
Yun Yuwan was about to say her next words when Wen Yangzhi suddenly spoke up, “I was the one who broke it.”
“The Blue Coral is broken?” Zhao Qin was shocked.
Yun Yuwan suddenly stopped speaking, her hand clutching the spoon went stiff as she looked at Wen Yangzhi.
And Wen Yangzhi nonchalantly continued to pick up his food.
Zhao Qin asked with a bit of caution, “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“It wasn’t anything valuable, I forgot,” Wen Yangzhi said indifferently.
Yun Yuwan knew exactly how much that ornament cost, she was ready to read the room, yet Wen Yangzhi said right in front of her that it wasn’t anything valuable.
He wasn’t ignoring her, he cared.
But she could only shamefully suppress her feelings, not allowing herself to be moved.
She was acutely aware that the day she stopped stealing glances at him might be the day she truly let go, but how could that day ever come when even now she couldn’t control herself, desperately seeking any potential intersection between them. Knowing Wen Yangzhi jogged in the morning, she pretended to jog as well. Wen Yangzhi would sometimes chat with friends in the garden on weekend afternoons, and every weekend afternoon, she would be there, pretending to read.
