Chapter 58: Pain is Forgotten After the Scar Heals
“Because Auntie likes me, and because I have a better fortune than you!”
“Is that so? Cousin, I think you’ve forgotten the pain after the scar healed. Don’t forget who was the one who agreed on letting you stay in Jingdu. Messing with me won’t do you any good!”
“You think I’m scared of you! Right now, Auntie is letting me stay in the Yun household. This has nothing to do with you at all!”
With her Auntie supporting her, why would Liang Xinyi be afraid of Yun Xi?
Yun Xi glanced at Liang Xinyi, who considered herself to share the same enemy as Yun Ziling. It was true that people cut from the same cloth tended to stick together.
“Okay!” Yun Xi nodded before giving her a suggestive smile.
She didn’t bother wasting any more breath on her before pushing Liang Xinyi away and going downstairs.
Dealing with Liang Xinyi was not a difficult thing for Yun Xi at all. She would only have to use a few tricks to send Liang Xinyi scrambling back to the countryside.
However, she didn’t want to let her off so easily.
Compared to having Liang Xinyi return to the countryside, it was much more secure to leave her right under Yun Xi’s eyes.
At such a young age, Liang Xinyi already wanted nothing but a bright future of marrying into a wealthy family. But were wealthy families truly that easily married into?
Education, cultivation, character, and identity were all extremely important traits.
In her previous lifetime, Liang Xinyi had used dirty tricks to marry into a wealthy family.
And thanks to Chen Lixue’s instigation, Liang Xinyi had had a terrible relationship with her mother-in-law, and her husband had flagrantly cheated on her. Liang Xinyi and Chen Lixue would play out the drama of catching mistresses every day.
Although Yun Xi could also make Liang Xinyi suffer through such a tumultuous life this time around as well, she didn’t want to let her off so easily. This was all because of what she’d said today.
Liang Xinyi desired a life of luxury and was obsessed with superficial fame and fortune, so Yun Xi would allow her to climb higher before viciously pushing her back down.
For the pain Yun Xi had endured when she’d fallen off the cliff, she would make Liang Xinyi suffer it a hundred and a thousand times more!
The most painful life wasn’t turmoil and unrest, but losing everything and having her reputation destroyed!
–
At lunchtime, Yun Xi saw her dad pass a paper envelope to her. She could already guess what was inside.
“Yun Xi, you’ve just returned and Dad has no time to take you shopping. Take this money to buy clothes and school supplies, and when you have time, you can buy some gifts and visit Grandfather Jiang at his home.”
Suddenly, everyone at the dining table stopped chatting.
Yun Ziling and Yun Chuhan’s eyes especially bulged at the sight of that thick envelope!
There must be at least 1,000 or 2,000, if not 5,000 RMB inside!
Their dad had never given them so much money before. Even for their living allowances, they’d only received 500 or 600 RMB every week.
A one-time amount of several thousand RMB was considered a huge sum of money to them!
Liang Xiuqin felt as if her flesh was being cut at the sight of that wad of cash!
She hadn’t been able to glean any benefits from that wretched girl, yet she’d ended up losing her own money on her!
Yun Xi looked up to play dumb. “I just came back from Grandfather Jiang’s a few days ago. I heard that he’d recently been invited to be a general counselor, so he shouldn’t be home for a while.”
“He’s not home? Then…” Yun Yuanfeng fell into a panic, then considered it before setting his sights on the Chen family.
“Didn’t you rescue Mr. Chen? You also need to visit the Chens more often…”
“Okay, I understand! I’ll go visit Mr. Chen tomorrow and check on his condition.”
She paused, then looked up to look at Liang Xiuqin before glancing at the wad of cash used to elicit favors.
She purposely asked with Yun Yuanfeng present, “Mom, you won’t ask for this money back?”
Liang Xiuqin had had the idea in her head, but her expression fell when the question had been posed to her. She glared viciously at Yun Xi.
Yun Yuanfeng also turned around to shoot her a stern warning glance.
Liang Xiuqin appeared very embarrassed. “What are you saying?! Your dad gave you this to buy gifts with, so why would I take it back?!”
Yun Xi nodded. With her dad there, her mom would never dare to reclaim the money even if she wanted to.
Yun Yuanfeng still wanted Yun Xi to visit the Chens and help him elicit favors. After all, this implicated his promotion.
But he also felt like it would be too embarrassing to mention it out of nowhere, so he had no choice but to change the topic by reminding Yun Xi.
“Don’t be too frugal when you buy the gifts, or you’ll embarrass our family. Do you understand?”
“I understand!”
