Chapter 682 My Sister 17

A year has passed like flowing water. On the day Yun Chu and Shen Bai finally decided to get married, the usually calm and composed Yun family was enveloped by a more intense and complex emotion.

The wedding was held on the lawn overlooking the lake next to the Yun family's old house.

The sun shone brightly as always, but the atmosphere was completely different.

Pure white lilies lined the winding flower gate, where guests filled the room with laughter and chatter.

Yun Chu stood in front of the mirror, wearing a simple yet elegant satin wedding dress.

He Shi carefully adjusted her veil, tears of relief welling in her eyes. Yun Guohua stood to the side, trying to maintain his composure, but his eyes were also moist.

In the rest area a little further away from the dressing room, Yun Si and Yun Xuan already had tears in their eyes.

Yun Si, who is usually decisive and efficient, had red eyes and her carefully applied makeup was slightly smudged.

She leaned against the wall, clutching a silk handkerchief in her hand, trying hard to hold back her tears, but her slightly trembling shoulders and suppressed breathing betrayed everything.

My sister is about to become someone else's wife. The person who has always been her absolute support and guiding light in her life will start a family with someone else.

Even if I rationally approve of Shen Bai a thousand times, even if Shen Bai has proven his steadiness, reliability, and protection, understanding, and even tolerance towards his sister (especially the tolerance towards both of them) through his actions over the past year.

But when the moment of transformation, symbolizing the change of identity, truly arrived, the deep sense of dependence and the feeling of loss of "being shared" still surged like a tide.

Yunxuan was even more direct. Wearing a bridesmaid dress, her pretty face was already streaked with tears, and she sobbed, barely able to speak a complete sentence: "Waaah... I know my brother-in-law is good... I know... but I just... can't help it..."

Like a child whose candy has been taken away, she has completely lost the aura of a tech upstart, leaving only pure reluctance and fear that her sister will soon belong to another family (even if it's in the same city).

She had been "driven away" by her sister before, and that fear of loss was amplified infinitely by the wedding scene.

As the melodious wedding march played, Yun Chu, arm in arm with her father Yun Guohua, walked step by step toward Shen Bai, who was waiting under the flower arch. Her two younger sisters, standing on either side of the red carpet, could no longer contain themselves.

Yun Si turned her face away, tears silently rolling down her cheeks and dripping onto her expensive dress. Yun Xuan almost covered her face, suppressing her sobs, her shoulders heaving violently.

Shen Bai saw them through the crowd. His gaze remained gentle, even carrying a hint of understanding. He nodded solemnly in their direction, his eyes seeming to make a silent promise.

As Yun Chu walked past them, her steps faltered almost imperceptibly. She turned her head slightly, her cool gaze sweeping over her tear-streaked sisters, a hint of tenderness in the depths of her eyes that only they could detect. She didn't stop, but her taut jawline seemed to soften for a fleeting moment.

The moment the rings were exchanged, thunderous applause and cheers erupted. At that moment, Yun Si and Yun Xuan's tears flowed freely.

My sister finally got married. That man, Shen Bai, proved his sincerity over time and won over the hearts of the women who considered him their "brother-in-law." But the empty space in their hearts still needs time to fill.

---

Time is the best mediator and the best witness.

Six months after their marriage, Yun Chu remained a formidable figure in her field.

As he promised, Shen Bai fulfilled his role as a husband perfectly and maintained a delicate balance between himself and the Yun Chu sisters—not interfering too much in their deep sibling bond, but becoming their strongest support and backing when necessary.

This sense of security gradually made Yun Si and Yun Xuan lower their guard.

And at this moment, the gears of fate began to turn.

Yun Si, a rising star in the financial world, met someone at an industry summit—an angel investor named Zhang Ling. His wisdom, vision, and sincerity impressed Yun Si.

Unlike her sister's and Shen Bai's steady and profound relationship, Yun Si's love is more intellectual and romantic, full of sharp edges and sparks from worthy opponents.

"I've heard that Mr. Zhang's investment style is very... aggressive?"

At the dinner table, Yun Chu put down her knife and fork and glanced at Zhang Ling seemingly unintentionally. Her tone was calm and even, but her all-seeing eyes carried an invisible pressure.

Zhang Ling remained calm and composed, replying, "Mr. Yun, you flatter me. My style is to value long-term prospects and pursue groundbreaking future industries. Aggressiveness is merely a facade; the core lies in meticulously calculated planning and control over risk margins." He looked at Yun Si, his eyes showing approval, "In this respect, it is quite similar to Yun Si's vision in the financial market."

Yunxuan raised an eyebrow, took a sip of red wine, and said with a slightly teasing tone, "Calculation? Strategy? Sounds like playing chess. What if the strategy fails and affects the people around you?" She was implying something.

Zhang Ling smiled slightly: "Every decision carries risks, but I will bear the consequences of my personal mistakes to the limit of my personal financial security. Career is career, and feelings are feelings; I keep them very separate. Yun Si is excellent and independent and does not need to depend on anyone."

Shen Bai sat beside Yun Chu, watching the familiar "assessment" scene before him, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips. He didn't speak, but gently squeezed his wife's hand under the table. Yun Chu's fingers twitched slightly in response.

During their three-year relationship, Yun Si, like her older sister back then, was "interrogated" several times by the two women closest to her in her family.

The difference is that this time, sitting in the "examinee's seat" is her sweetheart Zhang Ling; and sitting in the "examiner's seat" are her sister Yun Chu and Yun Xuan, who used to be extremely protective of her sister but now also scrutinizes her brother-in-law.

Yun Si is no longer the little sister who would only subtly hint at things at the dinner table.

She learned to subtly change the subject when Zhang Ling was being harassed, or even more sharply, to turn the tables and steer the conversation back to Yun Xuan's current single status, creating a tense yet hilarious atmosphere at the table.

The interactions between the three sisters have, over time, added a lot of adult humor and tolerance.

On the day Yun Si donned her wedding dress, the scene was warm and radiant. Her wedding was held by the sea, simple and modern, just like herself.

Yun Chu stood backstage, personally adjusting Yun Si's simple crystal headdress.

Her movements were meticulous and gentle. Yunxuan was also beside her, holding a tissue, her eyes still red, but she tried to smile and tease, "Hey, Yunsi, at least restrain yourself a little. Don't use your financial risk control theories on the wedding process, okay? It makes your sister seem so heartless!" In fact, she knew in her heart that Yunsi was the one most like Yunchu among the sisters.

Yun Si looked at her sister through the mirror. Yun Chu, who had cried her eyes out at her wedding, was now as calm as a deep pool. But Yun Si knew that there were subtle emotions hidden deep in her sister's eyes.

During the wedding ceremony, when Yun Guohua, the father, placed Yun Si's hand in Zhang Ling's hand, Yun Xuan sniffed and gripped Yun Chu's hand tightly beside her.

Yun Chu felt the dampness and strength in her hand. Without looking at her sister, she focused her gaze firmly on Yun Si.

She didn't cry. Instead, amidst the cheers and blessings of thousands of guests below the stage, she silently watched her sister's resolute figure stride towards happiness, her eyes filled with complex emotions: relief, anticipation, blessings, and a hint of... letting go.

Watching all this from below the stage, Shen Bai gently put his arm around Yun Chu's shoulder, silently conveying his strength.
