Chapter 311-312

Chapter 311: Being Unpredictable Involves the Highest Level of Mastery ... Zhao Yumo turned her head and looked at Yun Xi. She couldn’t muster a smile anymore. “Yun Xi, can I change my mentor?” “No.” Yun Xi shook her head. “He is the heir of the Jiang family. With him as your ally, would your uncle dare to bully you?” “But he’ll torture me if I’m his apprentice!” “Don’t worry. If he ever lays a hand on you, I’ll turn it into an artifact. If his third leg ever dares to touch you...” “...” Zhao Yumo wasn’t simpleminded, and she naturally understood what the so-called third leg referred to. Blushing, she purposely glanced at Jiang Chenghuan’s private parts. Jiang Chenghuan’s face got dark red, and he shot her a furious look. He turned around and sat down and crossed his legs to hide his private parts. “Third Bro, take care of your little fox. She’s getting lascivious!” “D*mn it! This girl speaks without any hesitation, but you put all the blame on me. Aren’t I the innocent one?” “That’s enough,” Mu Feichi said as he glanced at Yun Xi meaningfully before he turned and looked at Zhao Yumo. “There are two options. Either let your second uncle take over the Zhao family, or you can learn how to navigate the business world from Jiang Chenghuan and take over the Zhao family in the future. Whether or not you accept this offer is your own business. If Yun Xi didn’t consider you as a friend, do you really think that you have the connections to make such a request of the head of the Jiang family?” “I...I didn’t mean anything...” Upon being told off like this by Mu Feichi, Zhao Yumo immediately lost her self-assurance. She had had a shadowy experience when she had first met Jiang Chenghuan. She’d met him at a banquet where he took two women straight to a hotel before the banquet was even over. Everyone knew what they were going to do in a hotel, and it would’ve been fine if it had been just one woman, but taking two women was way too much, right? Because of this, she didn’t have a very good impression of the Jiang family’s new heir. He was a philandering playboy, and she didn’t understand what he could possibly teach her? But it was true that she alone was no match against those cunning old foxes like her Second Uncle and Aunt. She didn’t have two choices, but no choice at all. Upon seeing her hesitation, Yun Xi patted her on the shoulder. “Believe me, Young Master Jiang will be a very good mentor. He only uses his playboy image as a facade in order to strengthen his position as the heir. He wants other people to think that he is a brainless, simpleminded playboy.” Upon hearing what Yun Xi said, Zhao Yumo raised her head and frowned as she looked at the frivolous man sitting across from her. “Everyone has many faces, and which face you show depends on the person you’re talking to. Wouldn’t it be difficult for you to deal with your uncles and aunts? It would be a lot easier for him to deal with them. Being unpredictable involves the highest level of mastery.” She didn’t need to explain it anymore. Zhao Yumo was a smart person and would understand what she was insinuating. After thinking about it for a moment longer, Zhao Yumo nodded and agreed readily. “Okay, I agree! But there’s no way you’re teaching me without conditions, so tell me what you want.” “Hey!” Jiang Chenghuan snorted proudly. “I have no shortage of money or women. From now on, stay by my side and be my servant.” Such an arrogant little brat. If he didn’t tame her, it would cost him much in the future. “You’re making me into a servant who works for free?” “Do I seem as if I have a shortage of servants? You were suspicious and worried that I was plotting against you and asked me to make a request. I mentioned it, and then you were displeased.” “Shut up!” Yun Xi felt helpless when she saw these two fiery-tempered people bickering nonstop. “Yumo, you have to remember that he is the person in charge of the Jiang family. If you don’t agree with him, then try to defeat him with your strength. You can’t solve any problems by just glaring and bickering, understand?” “I know...” She was unwilling to give up her family inheritance like this and be bullied by her Second Uncle. If she wanted to fight back, she had to pick herself up and do whatever it took. He was just a playboy, so why should she be afraid of him? On the first day of his mentorship, Jiang Chenghuan had all the tattoos on Zhao Yumo’s body removed, and she realized that she was being properly served. ............ ........... ....... Chapter 312: You’ve Fed Me PDA! .... The waiter quickly delivered their order. Zhao Yumo kept watching the interactions between Mu Feichi and Yun Xi, and finally, she understood something. And even though she saw what was going on, she didn’t say a word. While she was observing them, someone else was observing her. Jiang Chenghuan stared at her for a long time, as if he was gauging the talent and intellect of his new disciple. 　 　 Just as he was withdrawing his gaze from Zhao Yumo, he looked up and noticed as Mu Feichi took his bowl, where all the fish had had its bones picked out, and put it in front of Yun Xi, replacing her bowl. Yun Xi stared at the dish in front of her. It was the tenderest piece of the fish, and he had thoughtfully picked out the bones for her. This kind of treatment was something she had wanted for more than 20 years but had never gotten in her last life. It was also emblematic of the sense of warmth that she had longed for, but had never received. She loved to eat fish, shrimp, and other seafood. Muyang Town hadn’t been near the sea, so fish had only been available at New Year’s. At New Year’s, her aunt had always left the most boney fishtail for her and would lie to her uncle and tell him that she didn’t like fish anyway. After living this way for so many years, she no longer knew how to express her preferences. And when she had returned to the Yun family, she’d watched Liang Xiuqin place fish that had had its bones picked out in Yun Ziling’s bowl. From beginning to end, she had never gotten any maternal love. Yun Yuanfeng had never paid any attention to what she liked either, and the only way she could buy his paternal love was with money or the influence of her wealthy friends. She seemed to have had no close connections with her family. She didn’t want in this life what she couldn’t get in her previous life. Thinking of how pitiful she had been in her previous life, her eyes watered. Gritting her teeth, she took a deep breath and raised her head, smiled stiffly at the man beside her and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, “Thank you!” Her clear eyes looked a bit watery. Seeing that something was bothering her, Mu Feichi inexplicably felt his heartache. Since merely picking out the bones from a piece of fish had touched her so much, it had probably struck a nerve somewhere. He knew exactly how her family had treated her, and he knew that the familial love that she longed for but couldn’t get had always been a source of sorrow for her. Without speaking, he raised his hand and touched her head as he sighed. Little Yun Xi raised her head angrily and glared at him with her bright eyes as she muttered unhappily, “Don’t pat me like you do Great White!” Her babyish cheeks were puffy, and she looked like a willful child throwing a tantrum. How adorable and coquettish she was! Her clear eyes concealed the sorrowful emotions she had felt moments before, and she appeared as resilient and stubborn as always. Mu Feichi’s hands froze midway to her head, but the expression on his face grew a little softer, and his eyes appeared to be smiling. Even though they were separated by a large round table, the two people sitting right across from them could see the PDA clearly. 　 　 As the waiter was putting the dishes on the table, Jiang Chenghuan yelled at him, “Where has the chef gone today? Why is he feeding me so much dog food?” (Dog food is a play on words for PDA.) “...” The waiter looked dumbfounded. He looked at Mu Feichi, then at Second Young Master Jiang, who was covering his face, but the waiter had no idea what was going on. “Second Young Master, we don’t have any dog food here...” Zhao Yumo smiled empathetically and said. “It’s okay, Second Young Master Jiang has been lacking female companionship recently, so he’s more irritable than usual.” “What can a midget like you understand? Shut up!” Jiang Chenghuan’s face immediately turned ugly when Zhao Yumo said this. “You’re the midget. I’m 5’4″. That’s not short.” “You don’t even reach my shoulders in your high heels. So how are you not short?” “I...You don’t understand!” “...” After they’d finished dinner, they left Jinding. Jiang Chenghuan was responsible for taking Zhao Yumo home. Yun Xi rode in Mu Feichi’s car. The two people who followed behind stared Mu Feichi and Yun Xi looked at the figures walking in front of them, and they looked like a couple. Jiang Chenghuan sighed slightly in response to this remarkable scene. “I ate dog food (PDA) all night.” 　 　 Zhao Yumo nodded in agreement. “I’m happy to watch their PDA.” “Don’t you like Mu Feichi and admire him? Won’t you feel jealous when you see them together?” “It’s one thing to worship him, and it’s another to like him. Don’t you think they’re very suited for each other? Yun Xi is already very capable now, and she will definitely be even more capable in the future. She’ll be able to be equal to Young Marshal Mu. I like well-matched couples because they’re such role models.” COMMENT “You are such a weakling, yet you want to be evenly matched? Let’s train your feeble arms and legs first.” “Don’t underestimate me! Wait for me to defeat you!” “Hmph! I’ll wait and see.”
