Chapter 1077: Take Her Chances
Who didn’t know how to use threats? Did her mother really think that she was such a pushover?
She did not need to do much to deal with Liang Xiuqin. After a.n.a.lyzing the pros and cons for a few seconds, Yun Yuanfeng would naturally intervene.
“That’s enough! What kind of rotten ideas are you coming up with now?” Yun Yuanfeng said coldly, his sharp eyes glaring at Liang Xiuqin.
Even though he was disappointed, he hadn’t really had much hope. After all, the difference in status between the Yun Family and the two family heads of the n.o.ble families was too far apart. The young masters of the four wealthiest families were not even able to call the three heads of the n.o.ble families friends, let alone Yun Xi.
With that thought, he felt more at ease.
“Yun Xi is right. Young Master Huo and Young Master Jiang have special statuses. If we offend them because of this, aren’t we courting death?”
Compared to taking chances for Yun Ziling to get married into a distinguished family in the future, Yun Yuanfeng chose to protect his current situation.
Liang Xiuqin added, “How would we know if we don’t try?”
She was thinking from the bottom of her heart that if they really did stir up trouble, then Yun Xi would be the one to take the blame. It had nothing to do with them or the Yun Family.
But if she succeeded, all the benefits would belong to the Yun Family, and it would not have much to do with Yun Xi.
Yun Xi had been raised as a member of the Yun Family for many years. She should make contributions and sacrifices for the Yun Family and Yun Yuanfeng’s future, and Liang Xiuqin thought this was an example of that.
“I won’t go. Mom, if you think you can do it, then give it a try. You can take Yun Ziling along. Don’t you think I know Young Master Huo and Young Master Jiang? One of you is my mother, and the other is my sister. Maybe they’ll meet with you.”
Yun Xi’s suggestion tempted Liang Xiuqin a little. She suspected that they knew each other, so she might as well give it a try. If she confirmed that they did not know each other, then she would just give up on this idea. However, if she really took the opportunity to get to know Young Master Jiang and Young Master Huo, then all the credit would be hers.
Yun Xi glanced at her mother’s expression and scoffed to herself. She knew that Liang Xiuqin would give this suggestion a try. For Yun Ziling, she would take her chances.
However, Yun Yuanfeng would definitely not agree to this kind of thing.
As expected, the moment she finished speaking, Yun Yuanfeng growled at Liang Xiuqin in front of Yun Xi.
“What nonsense are you spouting? Do you think you can afford to offend those two great buddhas? I’m warning you, don’t cause me any more trouble, or else I’ll teach you a lesson.”
“Dad, if there’s nothing else, I’m going to go back to the apartment. I have cla.s.s tomorrow morning.”
“Okay, go back! Be careful.”
Yun Yuanfeng waved his hand. Yun Xi put down the cup in her hand and then walked directly out of the living room without looking back. As she turned around, the smile that had been on her face immediately disappeared without a trace.
It was already so late, and her father did not even ask if she had a car waiting to take her back to the apartment. He was not worried about her safety as a young girl. All he could think about was this chance that he had missed.
If he had been worried about her or asked if she had been injured during the banquet, she might have relented and let him take advantage of her.
Unfortunately, her parents were heartless, so she could not be blamed for being heartless right back at them.
Yun Xi had just walked out of the door when Yun Chuhan caught up with her.
“Big sister.” Yun Chuhan walked up to her and looked at her. Her gaze lingered on her for a moment, as if she wanted to see something from her face.
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at Yun Chuhan’s probing eyes. Her expression remained unchanged. “Why did you call me?”
“Actually, I know that you know Young Master Huo and Young Master Jiang. Am I right? Even though I wasn’t there that night, based on the way Mom and Yun Ziling spoke, I could tell that you know them. You can fool them, but you can’t fool me.”
