Chapter 126 - What Reason Did She Have Not to Be Confident?
Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten
âOnly if we can make Grandpa believe that she is the one whoâs jinxed our family will he make that wretched girl go back to the countryside.â
Yun Ziling thought about it for a while,and then, suddenly thinking of something, her eyes lit up.
âMom, should I pretend to be sick? Then I can say that sheâs jinxed me.â
Although she hadnât had a heart attack for a long time, she had lots of experience in pretending to be sick.
Liang Xiuqin glanced at Yun Ziling. âDo you think you can make your grandfather believe it?â
The old man was stubborn, and they knew that it wouldnât be easy for him to change his mind.
âHow can I know if I donât try?â Yun Ziling smirked smugly, and her mind was filled with glee in anticipation of that wretched girl Yun Xi being driven away by her.
âWell then, you go upstairs. Later on weâll try it when your grandpa comes back from playing chess.â
Liang Xiuqin had no choice but to try this as a last resort.
âWait! Mom, Dad seems to be putting a lot of hope on my sister recently. He keeps trying to get her to win over the Jiang family and the Chen family. That wretched girl framed us, and we havenât even settled that matter yet. He definitely wonât be on our side.â
âThen letâs wait until that wretched girl settles matters with the Chen family. After that, we can deal with her.â
Having lost so much money and so many connections, Liang Xiuqin just wanted to get rid of the scourge.
She was certain that as soon as Yun Xi left, her good luck would come back, and there would be time for everything to start over again.
Liang Xinyi sat on the sidelines and dared not speak, but her mind couldnât stop racing for even a moment.
If Yun Ziling and Liang Xiuqinâs plan succeeded and Yun Xi was driven back to the countryside, then the threat to her would also be dissolved.
But if Yun Xi wasnât driven back to the countryside, then she must act first.
That wretched girl Yun Xi seemed particularly fired up recently and had not only become smarter, but also much more calculating.
If she doesnât help drive her back to the countryside, then Yun Xi will somehow manage to send her back.
...
Encouraged by Liang Xiuqin, Yun Yuanfeng talked to Yun Xi as soon as he came back and asked her to visit the Chen familyâs house as soon as possible.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Of course, Yun Xi knew that Yun Yuanfeng was anxious, but, knowing Yun Yuanfengâs cautious disposition, it was uncharacteristic of him to be so shamelessly impatient.
Asking her to go to the Chen familyâs house now, while she was in class every day, was inappropriate and seemed desperate.
It would appear too pathetic. Going to the Chen familyâs house would actually be embarrassing. Yun Yuanfeng was a proud man and wouldnât do such a stupid thing.
Upon thinking it over carefully, she reached the conclusion that there couldnât possibly be anyone but her mother whoâd caused such urgency.
Her mother was anxious for her to go to the Chen familyâs house to intercede, but probably not because she was genuinely concerned that her father would be dragged down.
There was still quite a long period of time before the promotion election. The results would be the same no matter when she went, and it might not even yield results at all.
Yun Xi figured that from how anxious Liang Xiuqin seemed, she probably had another trap up her sleeve to try and play on her again.
Yun Xi glanced at Liang Xiuqin, who was standing over to the side with eagerness all over her face, and she promptly delayed the time to Saturday on the grounds that she had to go to class.
Liang Xiuqin showed immediate impatience that she would have to suffer for one more day.
Suppressing her rage, Liang Xiuqin snorted and said coldly, âItâs just to help your dad, and look how unwilling you are. You really take yourself too seriously. If you donât want to help with this, what reason did we even have to even raise you?â
Yun Xi glanced at Liang Xiuqin nonchalantly and raised her glass of water to her mouth to conceal her smirk.
âI didnât say I wouldnât help. Iâll go there on Saturday when I donât have to go to class. If I go to her home during class time, that would seem way too desperate. Iâm not afraid of humiliation, but if Old Madam Chen sees me shamelessly pleading for you guys during my class time, she could get unhappy and kick me out. And then, you, mother, will personally have to plead with her.â
Since they were openly begging her, what reason did she have not to be confident?
Only in this way could she deal with her motherâs shallowness and malice...
Her mother could scheme against her, but sheâll have to deal with the consequences.
âYou!â Liang Xiuqinâs nostrils flared and her eyes shot daggers at Yun Xi. âYou are useless. If you canât even do such a simple thing, why do you even bother staying here?â
âThatâs enough! Enough of this nonsense!â
Yun Yuanfeng glared at Liang Xiuqin with displeasure. He was still depending on Yun Xi to help him settle this matter.
Liang Xiuqin was not only oblivious to what was going on, but now she was causing a ruckus. How annoying!
âThen Saturday it shall be. Yun Xi, remember to take gifts when you go to their house. If you donât have enough money, ask your mother.â
âOkay, Mom, you should give me some money now. Iâm afraid that you might not be here when I decide to go on Saturday. I canât go if I have no money, and Iâll have to move back the date.â
Yun Xi didnât hold back at all, and she blackmailed Liang Xiuqin for money right in front of Yun Yuanfeng.
Liang Xiuqin glared at Yun Xi angrily, but because Yun Yuanfeng was right there, she had no choice but to pay.
