Chapter 1718: Chapter 1718: The Ocean at Night Is Terrifying

She was raised by Granddad and grandma because from birth until now, her parents and grandparents disliked her, even at one point wanting to send her to an orphanage. She never understood why.

Even now, she hasn’t figured out what’s going on.

She once thought she wasn’t their biological daughter, but time and again, paternity tests proved she was indeed their daughter. But why did they treat her this way?

She racked her brains but couldn’t understand it. But now, that doesn’t matter anymore. What’s important is to let Granddad know the truth.

Yun Luo stood up, her figure staggering a bit, but the faint light in her eyes was like burning flames. She gritted her teeth and pointed her trembling finger at her father, "Dad, Granddad has treated you well and cares for our family a lot. How could you be so cruel to do such a thing?"

Then she pointed at the others, hate shooting from her eyes, "You bunch of beasts in human skins, Granddad treated you so well, sending you abroad for studies and giving you money to squander. Is that why you’re harming his family? If you go and tell Granddad everything, I won’t go to the police to report you."

The few looked at each other. They weren’t surprised Yun Luo was saying such things.

But how could they possibly go and confess to the Yun Family’s patriarch? That would be suicide.

At that moment, Yun Luo staggered towards the cockpit.

She wanted to steer the yacht back to the dock and tell everything to her Granddad.

But how could these people let her report?

Yun Shufeng and Yun Bide exchanged glances. If anything went wrong, they would face the worst consequences, being true Yun Family members.

Yun Shufeng grabbed Yun Luo’s hand and pleaded, "Yun Luo, you are my daughter. You should stand by me now. I did all this for you and your sister, for the family. If you tell your Granddad, our whole family will be doomed. Dad will go to jail. How would that benefit you?"

Yun Luo suddenly stopped.

Yes, this man was her father, the woman behind her, her mother, and her cousins.

The youngest one was her sister.

They all looked at her with strange eyes.

Earlier, they had tried to force her to relinquish her shares, but Granddad had already said the shares were to be freely used when she turned twenty, and she was only eighteen, just an adult, so she had no right. Even though she told them, her parents wouldn’t believe her and forced her to sign an agreement, knowing it would be invalid.

Then she found out the truth about grandma’s death.

Yun Luo’s hands hung by her sides, clenched tightly. Right, what happened earlier? How did she faint and fall on the deck? What were these people trying to do around her? Why hadn’t they sent her to the hospital promptly? 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

A string of questions made her head hurt, and the back of her head throb faintly.

She was impulsive.

How could she say such things to them?

If these people turned their backs, she would be stranded, utterly helpless, wouldn’t it be a dead end?

At this time, Qi Xiaoshan came over, looked lovingly at Yun Luo, reached out and pulled her into her arms, speaking softly and chokingly, "My dear daughter, you scared us earlier. You heard those words incomplete. It’s not true. Mom checked you out, and there’s nothing wrong. Otherwise, you’d have been sent to the hospital. Whatever happens, you’re mom’s biological daughter, and we’re a family. Don’t do anything silly, or our whole family will be finished. You know Granddad’s temper. He’ll act against us without investigation..."

Yun Luo hesitated, knowing Granddad’s temper.

If he learned about grandma’s death related to them, whether there’s evidence or not, he would deal with them.

On one side, there’s Granddad, who loved her, giving her so much love and honor, on the other side, the parents she had always desperately wanted to acknowledge her, to admit that she is their daughter and part of the family.

This hug from mom, she hadn’t experienced it for years.

Yun Luo cried.

She felt she was a bastard, a traitor, swaying back and forth.

Her heart was in chaos now, not knowing what to do.

Yun Luo knew her weaknesses.

If she were facing anyone other than her parents, she would be much more rational. But at the sight of her parents, inexplicably, complex feelings welled up from her heart.

She wanted their approval, wanted their love, just like how they treated her sister.

But after years of trying, she hadn’t received it, and now on this shimmering sea, under the night breeze, her mother pulled her into her embrace.

Seeing Yun Luo’s attitude like this, Yun Shufeng and the others relaxed. He felt smug; in a pinch, she still sided with him, despite usually being distant. But there’s no helping family bonds.

At this moment, Yun Luo wiped her tears, firmly pushed away her mom’s embrace, and looked at them with tearful and pleading eyes, "Dad, Mom, I beg of you, you must have been deceived. Tell Granddad the truth, let the real culprits be punished, and justice be served for grandma’s death. Granddad surely won’t hold it against you. I’ll plead for you, and this thing will pass. As long as you’re safe, we’re still a family."

Yun Shufeng’s face gradually turned cold; he hadn’t expected so much yet Yun Luo remained stubborn.

Coming clean was impossible.

His face darkened, eyes cruel, gritting his teeth, he threatened, "You’re my daughter. Know who your real family is, or don’t blame me for disregarding everything."

Yun Luo’s face turned cold too, disappointed at these people before her. Seeing their uniform expressions, she realized they hadn’t recognized their mistakes.

Yun Luo turned around and rushed towards the cockpit, naturally blocked by others.

Except for Qi Xiaoshan, the other four rushed forward. In the chaos, there was a muffled cry, then Yun Luo suddenly crumbled onto the deck.

Blood gushed from her forehead.

Her face instantly turned ashen, seemingly life fading away.
