Chapter 1071: Yu Minmin’s Situation Was Very Different
“You… Li Mingyu, are you sure you want to oppose me?” Yun Kuoshan asked, his expression darkening.
Li Mingyu snorted and responded nonchalantly, “So what if I will oppose you? What will you do now? s.n.a.t.c.h her over? You really think that the Yun family is the same as before? Do you really think that with your one sentence, the army will come?”
“You… you…”
Although Yun Kuoshan had no heart disease, he was so provoked by Li Mingyu that he was about to have a heart attack.
Li Mingyu, however, did not care about that. He waved his hands. “Send our guests off.”
Yun Kuoshan did not want to stay here any longer, even without Li Mingyu’s send-off.
Yun Kuoshan huffed and went out.
Yun Luo bowed her head and followed her father out.
Li Mingyu raised his eyebrows and told Lin Che, “Let’s go inside and see if there’s anything fun to do.”

After Yun Kuoshan pulled the door open and walked in, he saw Yun Luo following him in.
The more he looked at Yun Luo, the less happy he was with her.
He slammed the door, making Yun Luo jump with shock.
“Father… What are you doing…” Yun Luo asked.
Yun Kuoshan replied, “Useless thing.”
Yun Luo felt wronged.
She was also embarra.s.sed just now. After all, the one who was humiliated in public just now was her.
How were her looks not alright? It must be Li Mingyu, who was just spouting rubbish.
Yun Kuoshan said, “If you were half as capable as Lin Che, the Yun family would not end up in this state.”
Upon hearing that, Yun Luo’s heart ached. “What’s so good about Lin Che? What’s so bad about me? How is she capable? Other than being capable of seducing people, how else is she better than me?”
“You still dare to ask?” Yun Kuoshan immediately replied. “How dare you ask how else she is better than you? She is not better than you in any aspect, yet she is protected by so many people. This means…? Ah, a good upbringing is useless. The most important thing is one’s face. You are so cold towards others usually. Now, look at what’s happening! No one cares about you anymore! You are indeed not as good looking as Lin Che. Ah, it doesn’t matter what I say now. You should just go and have plastic surgery.”
Yun Kuoshan only said those words in a moment of anger, but Yun Luo was deeply hurt by it.
She stomped her feet angrily and glared at Yun Kuoshan, unable to think of any words to say to him before running out.

Yu Minmin was hiding in a corner.
She ate, too scared to go out and see people. She could feel that her face and body were extremely dirty, but she still had to hide here, unable to step outside.
There were beggars everywhere.
The beggar next to her was emitting a foul smell, making her feel like vomiting, but she had to bear with it.
Because she had no other choice, she had to stay in a quiet place until the turmoil is over before she could find a way to ask for help.
After all, this was M Nation and not C Nation where there were people from the Gu family everywhere.
Yu Minmin had not dared to go out for many days. The food she ate was all given to her by other beggars who pitied her.
From expired bread, water, pickles, sausages to leftover delivery food, she would not reject anything because she had to eat to survive. Only when she survived would she be able to see her family, loved ones, and Gu Jingming again.
Her tummy was huge, so she pretended to have difficulty moving and just sat there, unmoving.
Everyone asked her as her clothes did not look so dirty. They were curious where she came from.
Yu Minmin said that she lost her memories and was sold by her family. She had that they called her a madwoman and sold her to become a mistress, so she escaped while she was pregnant and did not want to ever want to return.
Upon listening to her, the people pitied her even more.
On her other side was a mother with two children. This was the gathering place of the beggars, the place where real beggars would stay, and not the place where those con men gathered.
The people here were all very pitiful. Some of them had their homes s.n.a.t.c.hed from them, so they had no place to go. Some of them were bullied into having to place to return to. While others had no living family, so they did not want to go back.
They were all homeless and lost their reputation because of the con men. Thus, it was difficult to get anything.
The mother at the side said, “Most of the time, we go out to ask for food. We don’t dare to ask them for money. Once we ask for money, they think we are con men and even consider that I abducted my two children.”
Yu Minmin replied, “They are also scared of being scammed again.”
Even if it was her, she would also think the same way when she saw beggars.
She sighed. “I know, I understand. If it’s not because my kidneys are not great and I would almost lose my life every time I do some hard labor, I would also go out to work and not beg here. Unfortunately…” Yu Minmin asked, “Does the government of M Nation not care about you? Do you have any form of welfare?”
She shook her head. “No one cares about us. M Nation is not great. As long as the president comes into power, they focus on developing the economy and don’t care about us at all.”
Yu Minmin looked at her with sympathy. She thought that C Nation was much better.
At least when she was at the Glazed Tile Palace, she saw great policies made by Gu Jingming and his team. Their welfare system would help every single citizen at least be able to eat and do not need to beg.
But this time, she found maybe beggars her whole way here.
And plenty of them really did not have survival skills. They had bodily difficulties or had a very serious infection, so they might lose their lives anytime. Therefore, they stopped working and just begged, living day by day.
Yu Minmin said, “If you were in C Nation, you could get welfare from the government.”
“How could C Nation be so good?” She said. “I heard that since it is a bigger nation, it is harder to manage.”
“How could that be? Their president is a good person.” Yu Minmin thought, Gu Jingming was a good president that empathized with these people and loved his people.
“Ah, these are all lies. How can you be sure that he is really a good person if you don’t know him personally? I think all these people are bad. Ah, they don’t care about our survival.”
Yu Minmin said, “No, he is really a good person.”
“You say that as if you know him personally. You’ll know after you see the real person… But people like us would never see the president our whole lives.”
But there were also people that purposely manipulated these people, barely making ends meet.
As Yu Minmin was lying down, suddenly, a few people walked over and kicked one of the children at the side. “Hey, is this a girl or a boy? Let me see.”
They were here to find a girl. After finding a good girl, they could sell her off to become a prost.i.tute.
The mother at the side had one girl out of the two children. She was afraid of people finding out, so she made the girl shave her head and cover her face with soot and raised her as a boy.
Upon seeing these people come, the three of them were frightened.
The few people immediately came to them.
They pulled away the boy first.
Then, they pulled away the girl and saw that she was a boy and spat, “How lucky… Why are there no girls recently?”
Just then, he kicked the girl’s chest.
The little girl cried out in pain.
