Chapter 494-495

Chapter 494: Return of Liang Xiuqin 　 The bus stopped at the entrance to the villa complex’s courtyard. Feng Yang walked with Yun Xi since they were neighbors. They paused near the entrance of her house. “Please thank Su Ximan for me for helping take care of my dad.” She really didn’t want to become the enemy of a clever, haughty heiress like Su Ximan. It wasn’t that she couldn’t beat her, but it would be a lot of trouble. The family behind Su Ximan gave her extremely strong backing. 　 　 Yun Xi not only didn’t have a strong family backing her up, but she had a large number of family members who were dragging her down. Even with her extraordinary methods, the lack of a strong family backing, compared to Su Ximan, put her already way behind at the starting line. Feng Yang understood her reasoning, and his sullen, handsome face looked amused. “After all the trouble she’s caused you, you still want to thank her?” “Yes.” Yun Xi smiled. “Thank you too for helping me so much.” “It was nothing. However, will your mother’s return affect you?” Her face relaxed and indifferent, Yun Xi shrugged with a half-hearted smile. “Are you still worried that I could suffer at the hands of my mother?” Thinking about the last time they’d worked together, Feng Yang was no longer worried. He nodded and handed a business card over to her. “If you ever need help, call me.” Yun Xi took his business card and looked at it. There were only names and phone numbers on the black business card. There were no job descriptions, addresses, or titles. It couldn’t be simpler. She couldn’t help being a little curious. After all, she didn’t know what industry Feng Yang was in. “I’m actually curious about what you do.” Since he was very well-informed, it was obvious that he didn’t work in an ordinary industry. Moreover, unlike what the outside world said about him, he probably wasn’t in the bodyguard industry either. 　 　 If he was a bodyguard, he wouldn’t have so much spare time to turn up in front of her randomly all the time. “Which industry do you think I’m in?” Feng Yang raised his eyebrows and asked in return without changing his expression. “I can’t guess. I thought you were a bodyguard once, then I felt like you were working in a company, but now I don’t think it’s either one.” Feng Yang’s eyes darkened as he looked at her, and he didn’t say anything directly. “Since it’s neither, it means that it isn’t time to tell you yet. I will tell you later when I have the chance.” “Okay.” Yun Xi didn’t ask any further questions. She turned around and entered the Yun family house. Standing at the door of the house with her expression indifferent and calm, Yun Xi looked around at the house in front of her. Since her mother was back, this family probably would no longer be peaceful in the future. After stepping into the living room, Yun Xi glanced at the people who were sitting there. Liang Xiuqin had come home, so everyone was there to greet her. Both her second uncle and her second aunt were there. Yun Yuanfeng and her grandfather were sitting on the sofa, and they looked up at her when they saw her come home. Liang Xiuqin also glanced over. She had been living outside the villa complex for more than a month. She had been fine when she didn’t see that scourge Yun Xi, but when Liang Xiuqin saw Yun Xi, it reminded her of all the hardships she had suffered during this period of time, and her good mood was completely ruined. With a cold snort, her eyes shot daggers at Yun Xi. 　 　 She had ended up suffering all because of that wretched girl. If it hadn’t been for her, she wouldn’t have become like this. After her club was destroyed, no one came to patronize it anymore for fear that she had offended someone and they would get dragged into her mess as well. All she had left were her savings. Also, the fact that Yao Ying had seized control of the family, losing her such a large amount of income that now she was basically broke. Sitting on the sofa, Liang Xinyi finally had the rare opportunity to feel smug. At this moment, she looked at Yun Xi condescendingly. Yun Xi had never understood where Liang Xinyi’s superiority complex came from. Since Liang Xiuqin had come back, Yun Ziling felt a little bit happy at the moment, and her expression was also smug. Yun Xi changed her shoes in the hallway, then with cold eyes she looked at the group of people on the sofa. The look on everyone’s face was different. It was simply amusing and entertaining. *** Chapter 495: Not That Easy to Manipulate 　 After chuckling to herself, Yun Xi put on a smiley face that covered up her true emotions. After saying hello to her second uncle and her second aunt, she looked at Liang Xiuqin, who had been glaring at her. “Oh, Mom is back!” Yun Xi smiled, then turned to look at Yun Yuanfeng and asked meaningfully, “Dad, you agreed to let Mom come back? Has the situation with the Su family been resolved? Where’s Grandfather Feng? Have you given him a heads-up yet?” Before Yun Yuanfeng could answer her, Liang Xiuqin stood up angrily. “Wretched girl, what do you mean? You just can’t stand me coming back, can you? If you’re really so unhappy to see me, then go back to the countryside. Then I won’t have to see this eyesore, and you won’t be able to jinx me again.” 　 　 Seeing that her mother hadn’t changed her ways at all, Yun Xi sneered and felt amused. After being banished from the house for a month, she hadn’t changed at all. She had thought that her mother would have been able to think things through while living outside for a month and try to be more low key. Now she realized that she had really overestimated her mother. “Mom, I wasn’t even talking to you, so why are you so anxious? I don’t have any problem with you coming back, but we at least have to give the Feng family a heads-up. After all, they live in the same villa complex as we do so it’s inevitable that we will encounter them at some point. If Madame Feng is unwilling to let bygones be bygones, I’m afraid we’ll all have to live on the streets.” “You...” Liang Xiuqin’s expression changed. From fear that he would really drive her out for this, she suddenly turned her head to look at Yun Yuanfeng. After all, for her to be able to return to the villa complex, in addition to getting help from Liang Xinyi to resolve the crisis with the Su family, she had also needed Yun Yuanfeng to humble himself by pleading with the Feng family. “Yun Xi, we’re all a family. Your mother and I aren’t divorced, so we can’t keep making her live outside the home. Others would think that our relationship has soured and that we’re going to divorce. It wouldn’t be good for any of us if people outside started to gossip. Although Yun Yuanfeng had had the idea of divorcing her, it was the critical time of his promotion at the moment. Family harmony was also a criterion for judging personal qualities. Naturally, he wouldn’t burn bridges with Liang Xiuqin at this time. Yun Yuanfeng felt it was his decision on when Liang Xiuqin returned. He would only ask Yun Xi if he wanted to be on her good side or he needed her for something. With Yun Yuanfeng’s selfish temperament, it was impossible for him to care about Yun Xi’s feelings. 　 　 Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and deliberately played dumb, asking, “So, what do you plan to do, Dad?” “I heard that you’re tutoring the Feng family’s heiress. Can you tell them about your mother’s return? After all, we are a family, and no one would want a family to break up. I believe that Madame Feng is benevolent and won’t hold a grudge against us.” He really couldn’t bear the humiliation of personally going to the Feng family to beg Madame Feng, and, even if he did, they might not give him the time of day. But Yun Xi was different. She had a good relationship with the Feng family’s heiress. As long as the Feng family’s heiress was willing to put in a good word for her, Madame Feng definitely would oblige. “Since it was Dad who agreed to let Mom come back, it would be more appropriate for Dad to talk to Madame Feng. It not only would show that you two have deep feelings for each other, but would also show that Dad feels apologetic about what Mom did. If Madame sees that Mom has repented and that Dad is sincere, she might let bygones be bygones. Yun Xi calmly kicked the ball back to Yun Yuanfeng, as she turned to look at Liang Xiuqin, continuing to play dumb. After all, she had been oppressed by her mother, and he still hoped for her to put in a good word for them. Her father was fooling himself. But she was not that stupid and not that easy to manipulate. Liang Xinyi wanted her mother to come back since it would benefit her and her schemes. But she simply couldn’t let bygones be bygones. They wanted to ask her for help, right? So how could there be no conditions? “Yun Xi, you also know Madame Feng. Although she lives in the same villa complex as we do, she isn’t willing to see just anyone. Because of this incident with your mother, Madame would never willingly see us. You’re different since you can enter their house.”
