Chapter 274-275

Chapter 274: Go Undercover for Me ... At the Mu Mansion... The butler was waiting anxiously at the door, holding a glass of warm water in one hand and a bunch of allergy medicine in the other. When he finally heard the sound of Mu Feichi’s car, he went outside quickly. “Young Master,...” Looking worriedly at the rash on his neck, the butler passed the medicine and the water to him. “...how can you negotiate with people tomorrow?” “I’ll be okay.” Mu Feichi swallowed the medicine. As if he’d suddenly thought of something, his handsome face seemed contemplative. He handed the empty glass back to the butler and said, “Go and rest.” After going upstairs, Mu Feichi called Jiang Chenghuan right away. He didn’t know whether it was because the person on the other end was preoccupied with philandering, but it took quite a while for him to answer the phone. “You bury yourself in a woman’s ****** every day, be careful or you’ll suffer from sexual impotency later on.” Upon hearing this, Jiang Chenghuan roared, “D*mn you! Third Bro Mu, can you stop being so sharp-tongued! I haven’t even produced my heir yet.” “I want you to take a gift tomorrow and go to the Chen family’s house to join the old Madame for dinner.” “Ah! Why? I don’t want to go. Last time, she arranged a blind date for me, and the girl was abnormal. Not in terms of appearance, but in her mind. I was almost tortured to death by her.” The Chen family and the Jiang family were very old family friends, and old Madame Chen had been responsible for bringing his parents together, so the old Madame treated him as if he was her own grandson. But whenever he thought about that troublesome blind date, he was too afraid to go to the Chen’s house anymore. Mu Feichi said icily, “My little fox is also going to go to the Chen family’s house tomorrow.” “Oh...” Realization dawned on Jiang Chenghuan, and he finally understood the purpose of this call. He asked in a gossipy manner, “Are you afraid that your little fox, who hasn’t been fed properly, will be kidnapped by Chen Yichen? You want me to be your spy, right?” Thinking about this, Jiang Chenghuan became even more curious and couldn’t help but tease Mu Feichi. “You’re right. Your little fox is at that age when she is beginning to fall in love. She will definitely fall head over heels in love with whoever treats her the best. I must say, you...” “Apollo Sun God.” Mu Feichi threw out the bait. He was too lazy to talk nonsense with Jiang Chenghuan. “I...you, in order to pursue that little fox, you’re even willing to give me your favorite car!” Apollo Sun God was the sports car that he’d been coveting for a long time now. However, he couldn’t get his hands on one because it was a limited edition. Moreover, Mu Feichi’s vehicle had been modified by their technical department. The positioning system and various programs in it were the best in the world, and no one would be able to buy a car as great as this anywhere in the world. He had been envious of this car for a long time. Mu Feichi wouldn’t even say where the car was, and he hadn’t even been able to get a glimpse of the car. “Are you going or not?” “Go! I’ll go! Even if it wasn’t for the car, for the sake of your great romantic pursuit of your wife, I will fall on swords for you...” Before Jiang Chenghuan finished speaking, Mu Feichi hung up the phone and threw it on the bedside table. Turning around and entering the bathroom, he looked in the mirror. His neck was covered in a rash. But when he thought about the girl’s eyes that were so dazzling that they were like stars, he felt as if his rash was nothing. ... Early in the morning, Yun Xi heard the housekeeper say that the Chen family had sent a car to pick her up. The housekeeper had deliberately yelled the message out loudly during breakfast, for fear that the rest of the family wouldn’t be able to hear her. Yun Xi couldn’t help but smile. The housekeeper really had the balls to butt heads with her mother for her sake. She’d been hired by their third uncle to take care of her grandfather, so even if her mother disliked the housekeeper, she couldn’t get rid of her. After calling her teacher to let her know she was going to be absent, Yun Xi changed into a mint green long-sleeved vintage-style dress. Underneath the dress, she wore a white linen skirt. Her exquisite figure was accentuated by the vintage-style pankou dress. The elegant color was neither ostentatious nor too low-key, and it made her appear sophisticated. Yun Ziling glanced at her slim waist, grit her teeth, and grunted with green-eyed envy. “Sister, aren’t you ashamed to dress like that to go to the Chen’s house? You look like a girl from the country going into the city for the first time.” Yun Xi glanced at Yun Ziling airily. Without bothering to answer her nonsense, she turned around and walked out. ..... ........ ............. Chapter 275: Pick on the Pushover ... As soon as Yun Xi went outside, she saw the black car parked at the curb. Chen Yichen saw her coming out and got out of the car. 　 　 Yun Xi was taken aback on seeing him. 　 　 She had thought that Chen Yichen was going to send a driver to pick her up. She surely hadn’t expected Chen Yichen to come himself. 　 　 Yun Xi teased him with a smile. “So, the eldest heir has come to pick me up himself. I’m really flattered!” 　 　 “I came here personally to show my sincerity and pay tribute to your status.” 　 　 Chen Yichen went to the passenger side and opened the door for her. 　 　 Yun Xi smiled and was about to get into the car. It just so happened that, at that moment, Liang Xiuqin was leaving to take Yun Ziling to the Jiang home to find Jiang Henglin. 　 　 As soon as she’d gone outside and seen the elegant sedan parked at the curb outside their house and noticed that the eldest heir had come in person to pick up Yun Xi, she quickly pulled Yun Ziling with her and walked over to get familiar with him. 　 　 “The eldest heir is here! Such a distinguished guest! Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?” 　 　 Chen Yichen glanced at Liang Xiuqin. Although he didn’t like this snobby woman, he had to maintain a courteous attitude toward her both because she was Yun Xi’s mother and because of the manners, he’d been bred with. So he answered politely, “Auntie, there is no need. Thank you.” 　 　 “Oh, are you headed home to the Chen family’s house? It just so happens that we’re going to the Jiang family’s house on the same road. Could you give us a ride with you?” 　 　 Chen Yichen glanced at Yun Xi’s embarrassed and impatient expression and chuckled lightly. “I’m sorry, but we aren’t going back to my home. Grandma has invited Yun Xi to dine at Jinding.” 　 　 “Jinding...” Liang Xiuqin tugged at the corners of her mouth, her eyes gleaming. 　 　 Jinding! 　 　 Jinding’s cuisine was second to none in Jingdu! 　 　 Customers weren’t allowed to order dishes. All the dishes were cooked by the host according to what was in season. 　 　 The chefs at Jinding were all apprentices to or heirs of imperial court chefs. The craftsmanship they displayed was the highest in Jingdu. The food was lavishly priced and deliciously made. 　 Those who could get a reservation at Jinding were either celebrities or prominent figures in the business world. Ordinary people couldn’t make a reservation even if they wanted to. 　 　 The Yun family was just a family from the villa complex. There was no way they would ever be able to get a reservation. 　 　 Yun Ziling had grown up in Jingdu, so she naturally knew what Jingding represented. 　 　 Upper-class socialites all gloated about going to Jinding for dinner. It had become a way to show off one’s status. 　 　 Now, after hearing that Yun Xi was going to Jinding with the Chen family, she was no longer in the mood to go to the Jiang family’s home. 　 　 From the corner of her eyes, Yun Xi saw Yun Ziling tugging at the hem of Liang Xiuqin’s clothes, and she knew exactly what her mother and sister were thinking. 　 　 Before her mother could speak, Yun Xi said, “Eldest heir, let’s go! We don’t want to keep the old Madame waiting.” 　 　 “Hey, wait a minute! Yun Xi, since you are going to see the old Madame, why don’t you bring us along. We can apologize to her personally about what happened at the auction.” 　 　 Go and apologize, and then get a free meal with it. Liang Xiuqin knew that since she was Yun Xi’s mother, the old Madame wouldn’t give her a hard time. 　 　 Yun Xi turned her head and glanced at her mother. She couldn’t believe that the old cow was thick-skinned enough to mention the charity auction. 　 　 Yun Xi made an eye gesture to Chen Yichen, and he went over to the driver’s side of the car. 　 　 Liang Xiuqin thought that she had agreed to this idea, so she led Yun Ziling over to the car and reached for the car door. 　 　 But the car door wouldn’t open, and Yun Xi rolled her eyes at her mother. 　 　 “Mom, you crashed the old Madame’s auction. If it hadn’t been for me interceding with her, do you think the old Madame would’ve let you off the hook so easily? If you show up in front of the old Madame and mention that incident, it will provoke her. I can promise you I won’t be able to help you anymore. Are you sure you still want to go?” 　 　 It seems that the lesson her father gave her last time hadn’t been memorable enough. Her mother was still looking for trouble! 　 　 “Sister! You and I both know what happened last time. It’s obvious you tried to frame me...” 　 　 Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and decided to pick on the pushover, Yun Ziling. 　 　 “You still haven’t paid Madame Chen for the vase you broke, have you? Do you want to bring the money with you and give it to Madame Chen today?” 　 　 “You...” Yun Ziling felt herself grow even more resentful and infuriated. She bit her lip and glared at Yun Xi, her pale hands gripping her bag tightly. 　 　 “Wretched girl, watch your mouth! Whether it was the auction or the vase, it has all been your fault!” 　 　 Yun Xi smiled airily. There was nothing for her to say. 　 　 She slammed her car door shut. 　 　 Chen Yichen started the car and drove away quickly. 　 　 In the rearview mirror, Yun Xi could see her mother stamping her foot in frustration, while Yun Ziling looked indignant. Yun Xi sneered to herself.
