Chapter 513 - A Slap in the Face

Moments before, she had been saying that she didn’t want to have a shameless daughter like Yun Xi, but now she couldn’t wait to admit to everyone that Yun Xi was her daughter.

She’d changed her stance so fast that Yun Xi and Yao Ying couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Liang Xiuqin’s unscrupulousness and shamelessness really blew their minds over and over again.

“Mom, just now you said that Yun Ziling doesn’t want to have a sister like me, and you also didn’t want to have a shameless daughter like me. Going back on your word...?”

“I...” Liang Xiuqin suddenly realized that she had given herself no way out after having insulted her for a momentary gratification.

However, she also couldn’t bear to watch such a large sum of money slip away from her grasp, so she felt angry and anxious for a while.

Just as she was about to speak again, Yun Xi took the lead.

“In any case, I won’t force you to accept me. I don’t think there is anything wrong with my dad’s allocation of responsibilities. You are responsible for everything to do with Yun Ziling, and he is responsible for me. It’s better for you, and it’s fine with me. It kills two birds with one stone.

“What do you mean it kills two birds with one stone? You aren’t an adult yet, so what would you do with so much money? If you got kidnapped or robbed, your dad and I would have to put an enormous amount of effort into saving you.”

“Mom, I doubt you would even try to save me. I’m afraid that if I got kidnapped, you would be over the moon with happiness. After all, without me, the scourge, you wouldn’t be constantly upset about having to see me.”

“What are you saying? Am I that kind of person?”

After Yun Xi said exactly what she had been actually thinking inside, Liang Xiuqin’s heart missed a beat and her eyes flickered nervously.

However, in order to make herself seem consistent, she had to shamelessly try to persuade the wretched girl to obediently hand over the money.

“Your dad and I worked so hard to raise you. Since you know how to make money now, shouldn’t you be filial toward us?”

As soon as Liang Xiuqin had finished speaking, Yun Ziling also ran over. That 50,000 yuan wasn’t a small amount of money. It was pie in the sky. Why should that wretched girl, Yun Xi, reap all the rewards?

“Mom’s right. Our parents have worked so hard to raise you. Even though you grew up in the countryside, they gave you living expenses every month. Now, when you’re asked to be filial to your parents, you’re reluctant. Isn’t that very ungrateful of you?”

“Living expenses?” Yun Xi raised her eyebrows, curled her lips mockingly, and looked at Liang Xinyi. “Weren’t my monthly living expenses paid by my grandfather? And, as for whether or not those living expenses were used on me, presumably my cousin knows about that more clearly than I do. Since Mom wants someone to be filial so badly, then let my cousin be filial to you. After all, for so many years, the Yun family’s living expenses were all spent on my cousin.”

When she said this, Yun Xi looked at Liang Xinyi with a mocking smile on her lips. “Cousin, aren’t I right?”

Liang Xinyi tugged at the corners of her mouth. Even if it was the truth, she wasn’t going to admit it.

“Yun Xi, you can’t say that. Aunt nurtured you out of kindness, so it’s only natural that you should repay her. As for me, I will definitely repay Aunt. You, however, are her biological daughter, and you should respect Aunt. How could I steal the limelight from you?”

Yun Xi chuckled and nodded without trying to deny her words.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Liang Xiuqin thought that she had been convinced and was rejoicing when Yun Xi rained on her parade.

“But, Mom, you said before that you don’t covet my things at all, and that from now on, whether I live or die will have nothing to do with you. My second aunt also heard it.”

Unceremoniously crushing Liang Xiuqin’s final fantasies, Yao Ying nodded.

“Last month, when you were kicked out of the complex by my eldest brother, you said that Yun Xi’s life or death would have nothing to do with you in the future, and you didn’t care about her. So now, only my elder brother is the one Yun Xi has to be filial to, not you, sister-in-law.”

“Since Mother is so worried that I will be kidnapped and robbed with so much money, second aunt, you can keep this money safe for me. It’s going to be my college tuition in the future. Since it’s tuition, Mom, you probably wouldn’t try to snatch my tuition fee, right?”
