Chapter 517: Her Position Was Precarious
As Feng Yang and Yun Xi got off the bus, from a distance they could see Yun Yuanfeng’s car driving into the complex.
They looked at each other. As they approached the Yun family’s house, Yun Xi looked at Yun Yuanfeng and Chen Lixue, who had gotten out of the car. She sped up, putting a distance between herself and Feng Yang.
Watching her walking toward her chaotic family members, Feng Yang also slowed down. Inexplicably, he felt a little distressed.
From the day of her return to the present, she had never given up, no matter what horrible things her mother did to cause trouble for her and no matter how cruel her other family members were to her.
She was such a proud person, but fate certainly seemed to have been a bit unfair to her.
Yun Xi deliberately slowed down when she got near to the door. She stepped into the house a little bit after Yun Yuanfeng and Chen Lixue.
It was dinnertime, and everyone in the family was gathered for the meal.
Her father had picked the perfect time to bring Chen Lixue back into the house. Yun Xi was so looking forward to her mother’s expression when she saw her love rival after more than ten years.
“Chen Lixue, what are you doing here?”
Upon seeing Chen Lixue walking in behind Yun Yuanfeng, Liang Xiuqin stood up from the sofa in shock.
Nothing could have made Liang Xiuqin as panicked as seeing Chen Lixue.
After all, she had been the one who had been in the wrong in their love triangle, and, although no one knew about this, she’d always felt a little guilty toward Chen Lixue.
Her eyes full of bewilderment, Liang Xiuqin turned to look at her husband, who hadn’t come back at all the night before.
Last night, his secretary from work had called her and told her that Yun Yuanfeng had gone to inspect one of their projects out of town and he wouldn’t be back that night.
But now when he came back, he brought Chen Lixue, that b*tch, with him. What was the meaning of this?
It would have been impossible for him to have gone to the countryside in a single day and brought Chen Lixue back to Jingdu.
Almost instinctively, Liang Xiuqin glared at Liang Xinyi. Liang Xinyi shook her head in confusion. She hadn’t even known that her mother was in Jingdu.
Upon seeing that she wasn’t lying, Liang Xiuqin walked toward them anxiously. Grabbing Yun Yuanfeng’s arm, she declared her owners.h.i.+p of him to Chen Lixue with a possessive look on her face.
Liang Xiuqin was anxious, but she couldn’t show it on her face. Her heart burned with fury.
She simply grit her teeth as she managed to spit out, “Husband, why did you bring Chen Lixue to the house?”
After the incident with the Feng family, Liang Xiuqin knew that Yun Yuanfeng had thought about divorcing her.
Even though he’d brought her back home now and didn’t dare to divorce her because he was waiting on his promotion, that didn’t mean it had been all smooth sailing.
After she’d come back this time, in addition to repairing the relations.h.i.+p between them, it was more important than ever for her to stabilize her position as Yun Yuanfeng’s official wife.
Other things could be taken back slowly. The children in the family couldn’t be counted on because they were still young, but if she lost the backing of Yun Yuanfeng, then she really would have nothing.
If she stabilized her position as his wife, at least she would be able to gain a foothold in the Yun family and wouldn’t end up on the street.
But now…Chen Lixue, that b*tch, was here!
Moreover, she’d come back with Yun Yuanfeng. Suddenly, she felt that her position was precarious.
“Lixue came to see her daughter in Jingdu. I just happened to encounter her during my inspection, so I brought her over to see the family. You let her daughter study here in Jingdu. What’s wrong with her coming to visit her daughter?”
There was no logical flaw in his reasoning, but, nevertheless, Liang Xiuqin had the feeling that she had shot herself in the foot and dug her own grave.
First, she had insisted on using Liang Xinyi to replace Yun Xi as her daughter. Then, she had wanted to use Liang Xinyi as a s.h.i.+eld to prevent Yun Xi from jinxing her.
But that wretched girl had turned out to be completely useless.
During the past few months, not only hadn’t she had good luck, but she’d also dragged her down in many ways.
Now, because Liang Xinyi was staying in the Yun family’s house, Chen Lixue, that b*tch, had come to their door.
Why was she so unlucky?
Now that she knew all this, she realized she should have left that little b*tch Liang Xinyi behind in the countryside from the beginning.
