Chapter 811: Envy, Jealousy, and Hatred
“Yun Xi, family members can go with you to the award presentation, right?”
Yun Yuanfeng was thinking about how other parents would accompany their children to whatever competitions they participated in. If he could accompany her to this award presentation to meet with the president, perhaps when he returned, he would have a future of smooth sailing.
If he could meet the president, why would he need to continue his efforts to make connections?
Yun Xi could see through what he was thinking. Indeed, she was allowed to bring along members of her family to the award presentation, but she did not want to let him know this immediately.
If she had agreed right away, Yun Yuanfeng would have felt that such things came too easily. With every first comes a second. In the future, he would take her for granted and treat her simply as a money maker.
In her previous life, she had been stupid. In this life, if she allowed herself to make the same mistakes, she would be really foolish.
“I’m not sure about this. I’ll have to go back and ask my teacher. If it’s possible, then, sure, Dad, you can come with me.”
“Good, good!” Though he did not know what the answer would be yet, Yun Yuanfeng nodded happily and had hope.
As long as he could meet the president who would see that Yun Xi had performed extremely well, better than others, knowing this, he thought that somehow the president would esteem their family and would take this into consideration when choosing who would do well in the government.
This was a good opportunity for him, and as long as there was a little hope, he would not let it go.
Yun Yuanfeng cared about his own career, and he spent his time thinking only about the elections. While Grandfather did not bother about this stuff at all and was only happy about Yun Xi receiving the award. He specially had Auntie rearrange the table beneath the family photo and placed the award in a prominent position.
“In the future, this table will be used to place Yun Xi’s awards. Whoever else receives an award, Grandpa will also reward.”
Grandfather looked at Yun Xi with great joy and emotion on his loving face, “Yun Xi, what do you want? Grandpa will give it to you!”
Yun Xi chuckled and shook her head, “No, Grandpa, I have yet to show filial piety toward you, how can I ask anything from you?”
Although Grandfather was not involved in the family’s matters, Yun Xi knew that he personally had many assets.
In her previous life, Grandfather had taken out a million in cash to settle the fatal car accident caused by Yun Kexin. She knew that Grandfather was richer than her father.
She knew that eventually she would rule over the Yun family. But now, since she was still underage and already had too much on her plate, it would be better to have Second Aunt take charge. As long as the family was no longer in the hands of Liang Xiuqin, it was all right with her.
“That’s different. This is for the glory of our Yun family. You have set a good example for your little sisters. If Grandpa rewards you, they will follow in your footsteps and work hard. If you can’t think of what you want, then Grandpa will give you 2,000 yuan as a reward. If you think of having something else later, you just tell Grandpa.”
Such a good rewards system was undoubtedly very attractive to Yun Ziling, Yun Chuhan, and Liang Xinyi.
Getting a reward was not an easy thing, especially for Yun Ziling and Liang Xinyi. They could only look on with envy, jealousy, and hatred as Grandfather took a thick stack of red packets from his room and gave them to Yun Xi.
But this was not true of Yun Chuhan. Her results were quite decent, and 2,000 yuan were very attractive to her.
Grandfather gave it, and Yun Xi accepted it gracefully. After all, why not.
While they were enjoying this moment, Yun Yuanfeng received a phone call. After hearing what the other party said, he stood up with joy. “Really? That’s great! Then should I be the host and invite the Young Commander to a meal?
“No. The Young Commander said that in order to thank Miss Yun for her help from before, have her accompany you when you come over. Although we have paid for the consultation, we should still like to say a word of thanks to her in person.”
“Good! Good! No problem at all. Yun Xi and I will definitely be there!”
