Chapter 1191: Liang Xiuqin Never Learns
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was during the incessant reporting on the scandals of the Han Corporation that the Jiang family had made their announcement. The announcement had declared the end of the marriage arrangement between the Yun and the Jiang families.
The announcement was simple and direct, and the media had been warned by Mu Feichi as well, so the announcement was reported objectively. The issue did not cause a ruckus, but everyone was aware of the goal of the announcement.
It was a small thing after all. In the current day and age, arranged marriages were no longer the norm, and the careful announcement from the Jiang family in turn gave the Yun family a few more points of respect.
Even when the news hopped on the announcement, there was little discussion about the Yun family among the public, and more focus was given to the eldest daughter of the Yun family who had cancelled the engagement.
This was a satisfying outcome for Yun Xi. There was no tension, and Yun Yuanfeng did not blame her for the cancellation.
After his information had been taken from him by Mu Feichi, Yun Yuanfeng had fought with Liang Xiuqin again. The couple had been engaged in a cold war for over a week.
Their cold war was nothing to Liang Xiuqin. There was a much more important matter on her mind. It was one that she had no other choice but to resort to.
It was for Yun Xi to use her connections and get closer to the head of the Jiang family.
Liang Xiuqin had thought of an olive branch to reach out to Yun Yuanfeng. The Jiang family had a significant presence in the political realm, and they had the power to bless Yun Yuanfeng’s political career. It was a rare opportunity for them.
Among the three noble families, the Mu family was in charge of military matters, the Jiang family was in charge of political matters, and the Huo family was the pillar of the economic world.
The Young Commander might have unrivalled power, but the Jiang family had the upper hand in politics. If they could establish a good relationship with the Jiang family, Yun Yuanfeng would have massive unwavering support behind him.
“Why didn’t you mention something so important earlier?” Yun Yuanfeng stood up from the couch in shock. “All you women do is delay things.”
Although the potential pressure from the Jiang family had been removed, Yun Yuanfeng remained worried. They always wanted to stand next to the ones at the top of the pyramid, but they were always afraid of accidentally offending them.
“I offended the head of the Jiang family once, how can I approach him again? If I keep approaching them and offending them, then we should give up on connecting to the Jiang family entirely.”
She was aware that Yun Xi had a good relationship with the head of the Jiang family, but she was uncertain how close they really were. However, a coincidental discovery had given her a chance she was not willing to let go of.
Yun Yuanfeng glared harshly at Liang Xiuqin. It was about time she understood the severity of their situation and did not rush in and be disrespectful to others.
“Give Yun Xi a call and ask her to come home.”
“I called, but she doesn’t pick up.” Liang Xiuqin called Auntie out from the kitchen. The responsibility of calling was given to Auntie.
Auntie had been listening to their conversation in the kitchen for a while, and she emerged when Liang Xiuqin called for her. Rubbing her hands on her apron, she was reluctant to call Yun Xi.
“Yun Xi, your dad wants you to come home for dinner.”
This was a shared code word between her and Yun Xi. Whenever something unpleasant had occurred, she would inform Yun Xi that she had to come home for dinner.
If it was nothing serious, she would simply ask her to come home and would not add in the additional words.
As soon as Yun Xi got the call, she knew that something had transpired. It took another moment for her to receive a secret message from Auntie. The message mentioned the Jiang family, and Yun Xi had instantly understood.
Yun Xi had hoped that Jiang Chenghuan’s warning would have stuck in her mother’s mind. However it seemed that her hopes had been for nought. Her mother’s mind only cared about things that could bring her benefits. It was not meant for anything serious.
Regardless, she was not surprised that Liang Xiuqin would have brought this up to Yun Yuanfeng.. She had made her mental preparations against this a long time ago.
