Chapter 498: Do Whatever You Want
Seeing her unconcerned expression, Mu Feichi touched her head. “What are you going to do about your mother? Do you need me to take charge?”
“No.” Yun Xi clasped her hands and glared at him with displeasure. “Don’t meddle.”
After a pause, she seemed to have thought of something else and turned to look at him seriously.
Upon being stared at by her so unabashedly, Mu Feichi touched his face and smiled wickedly, “Babe, you’re looking at me so affectionately. Could it be that you want to throw yourself at me?”
As he said this, he opened his arms nonchalantly, waiting to be embraced, as he looked at her calmly.
“Come here! I’ll let you do whatever you want. I definitely won’t shout.”
“Get outta here!” Yun Xi kicked him angrily. “Be serious. I have something to ask you for help with.”
“Okay, just ask.”
“My mother is back. In order to prevent her from hara.s.sing me because she’s bored, I’m going to distract her so that she won’t target me again.”
“You’re going to have your other aunt come to Jingdu, aren’t you?” Mu Feichi seemed to have read her mind.
Yun Xi appeared stunned, as if she had never expected him to guess this. With a shocked expression, she asked, “How did you know that?”
“As if I can’t guess the little tricks you have up your sleeve. Your mother and your aunt are the same kind of people. With the two of them fighting each other, they probably won’t have any time to deal with you, so you can prepare for the college entrance examination with peace of mind. Besides, there are some things that I’m afraid you don’t even know as much about as I do.”
“What things?” Yun Xi was taken aback for a moment, and her interest was piqued.
“Back when your mother and your aunt lived in the same village, they both fell in love with your father at the same time. Your mother was a bit more cunning. She schemed against your aunt and your father, and then she reaped the benefits and married your father. It was for this reason that when you were fostered in the Liang family, you probably suffered, didn’t you?”
“That’s all in the past.”
Yun Xi smirked. To her, Muyang Town’s affairs were already forgotten parts of her previous life.
As long as her aunt didn’t cross her, she was willing to turn a blind eye.
But if her aunt wasn’t that sensible, then sorry, but new grudges and old grudges would be repaid together.
Knowing that her situation wasn’t going to be easy but also that he couldn’t come forward yet, Mu Feichi looked at her with distress, then he sighed.
His ident.i.ty would make her family’s greedy relatives treat her as a commodity and exploit her ruthlessly.
Even if they pushed her to his side, it would be considered as a bonus to them. He couldn’t bear to see her being exploited, nor was he willing to.
“If your aunt comes to the Yun family, mayhem will erupt in your family.”
“Isn’t that better? My second aunt is now in charge. I have already prepared my second aunt. With her abilities, are you worried she can’t deal with my aunt? Now, all I need is a suitable excuse for you to bring my aunt to Jingdu.”
“Early this morning, knowing that your mother was coming back, I have already sent someone to pick her up.”
In his plan, he’d also wanted Chen Lixue to come to Jingdu to keep Liang Xiuqin in check, so she wouldn’t spend all her time hara.s.sing Yun Xi.
Unexpectedly, this girl had also had the same idea.
“What excuse?”
“Do you need that many excuses for your aunt to come to Jingdu? Any excuse will make her come over.”
Mu Feichi beating around the bush made Yun Xi even more curious and suspicious about his att.i.tude. What excuse had he made up?
“Spill the beans already, and stop keeping me guessing!”
“Liang Xinyi’s school had a large-scale parent meeting recently. With this excuse, I asked people from the school to call Chen Lixue directly.”
“Was there such a parent meeting? You probably used that excuse as a red herring, didn’t you?”
“Be good. It’s all right that you know, babe, but no need to say it even if you see through it, eh?”
“Young Marshal Mu, you look serious on the surface, but you’re so devious.”
This guy is not only way too smart, but also way too devious.
“When she arrives, don’t send her to the villa complex first. I have other arrangements.”
Mu Feichi was puzzled. “What arrangements?”
“Don’t ask for the time being. I’ll tell you when the time comes.”
