Wu Chi was filled with a sense of loss, feeling like a clown who had stumbled on stage, mocked by everyone around him. He had hoped to use Wu Lian's identity to get close and lay claim to Wu Lian's wealth, but his efforts had all come to nothing. Liu Yun slowly walked down, and Wu Chi managed to force a smile, greeting her, "Yunyun, I am your Eldest Uncle." However, Liu Yun coldly replied, "I don't know you." This left Wu Chi extremely embarrassed. Wu Lian's past actions had been far too unforgivable to ever repair the relationship between them.
Liu Yun walked up to Shi Jiao. Believing that Liu Yun was still an easily gullible child, Shi Jiao put on a friendly smile, trying to close the distance between them. "Yunyun, I am your stepmother, and I will cherish you just like my own daughter." Yet Liu Yun mercilessly interrupted her, "Shut up, come with me." Shi Jiao understood that lingering resentment still festered in Liu Yun's heart, but she figured Liu Yun was still just a child; as long as she coaxed her carefully, she would eventually find a way to make her let go of her grievances.
Shi Jiao walked outward, followed closely by Zeng Yi and Shi Lei. Afterward, Shi Lei drove a flying vehicle to take everyone away, leaving a lingering sense of uneasy foreboding in Shi Jiao's heart.
