Chapter 1584: An Illusion
Compared to Han Zhongteng, the paparazzi were much more interested in gossip about Han Yaotian and Qiao Ximin. They were all focused on taking photos of Han Yaotian and Qiao Ximin. No one really cared about Han Zhongteng and Liang Xinyi.
Yun Xi watched these two people escaping in embarra.s.sment on the surveillance video and could not help but laugh coldly. A coldness surrounded her, and she seemed distant.
When Fenghuang Niao saw Yun Xi’s out-of-the-ordinary expression, she raised her eyes to stare at her. She knew about her past and her childhood trauma. Liang Xinyi was in such a sorry state now, and there was still a good show waiting for her. She definitely was not going to have a good ending, so this had undoubtedly helped Yun Xi vent her resentment.
Xiao Jinglin did not know about the grudge between Yun Xi and Liang Xinyi, but he could clearly feel that something was wrong with her mood. He looked up and saw that her expression was icy. The smile on her face did not reach her eyes when she was talking to him, and it was completely wiped away by this coldness.
This pair of beautiful and clear eyes should not have this depth and sharpness. It did not match her age.
Xiao Jinglin sighed slightly and couldn’t help but rub the girl’s head with a faint smile on his gentle face. “Girls look better when they smile. Look, trim the flowers, cut off the extra ones, and leave only the nice ones behind. Only when you tidy them up will you feel good.”
Yun Xi came back to her senses and turned to look at Xiao Jinglin. She vaguely understood what he meant. She smiled awkwardly and nodded. “I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Xiao.”

Hearing her call him Mr. Xiao softly, Xiao Jinglin had the illusion that she was close to him. He chuckled and shook his head. “Niao calls me Uncle Jing, and then you call me Mr. Xiao. I feel like I’m in a small town in Jiangnan surrounded by clouds and mist.”
Yun Xi paused for a moment. Mr. Xiao had been her honorific to him, and Mu Feichi had not corrected her either. Now that he said that, she felt a little embarra.s.sed.
“I grew up in a remote mountainous area in Jiangnan, and I only came back from the countryside two years ago. My accent is not as accurate as Jingdu’s.”
“No, that’s not what I meant. Compared to the toughness of Jingdu’s accent, your Mr. Xiao sounds very pleasant.”
Her soft words were pleasing to his ear. More important, it had been a long time since he had heard someone call him Mr. Xiao in such a respectful manner.
Yun Xi narrowed her eyes and smiled. She turned to look at Fenghuang Niao. “Let’s go in and have breakfast together. We’ll have to make a trip to the Chen family home later.”
Fenghuang Niao pointed at the laptop. “Then how do we deal with this?”
“There’s no need for us to do anything. Someone will handle it. We’ll just watch the show.”
Lifting the flower basket in her hand, Yun Xi took a few steps back and gestured to Xiao Jinglin, who stood up. The two walked into the house together.
Fenghuang Niao squinted at the two of them and chuckled. She picked up her laptop and followed them.
…
At the same time, the atmosphere outside the VIP suite of the Jingdu Grand Hotel had just calmed down. All the reporters and media had been sent away by the hotel’s security. Only Han Yaotian, Han Zhongteng, Liang Xinyi, and Qiao Ximin were left in the noisy corridor.
Han Zhongteng had finally realized what was going on. He raised his head and looked at Han Yaotian, who had a smug look on his face. If the paparazzi had not gotten involved in today’s matter, the Han and Qiao families could have settled this privately. There would still be room for reconciliation.
However, now that the matter had been blown out of all proportion, the Qiao family would have to form a marriage alliance with the Han family for the sake of their reputations and let Qiao Ximin marry Han Yaotian.
With the Qiao family as his backer, Han Yaotian’s status as an illegitimate son became even more secure, but he still had a long way to go before he could claim the position of heir.
What made Han Zhongteng even angrier was that Liang Xinyi, that b*tch, had actually…
When he thought about how he had caught the adulteress in bed, and how this b*tch had been gang-raped by three men, his humiliation was simply unbearable!
