Chapter 614-615
Chapter 614: What Can You Do To Me?
“Who did this? Who framed you? Tell me! Mom will help you out! Whoever dares to bully you like this... I’ll have to teach them a lesson!”
Liang Xinyi speechlessly looked at her mother. She knew that her mom meant well, but she would never dare to actually do anything. Especially if she knew that the person who framed her was that wretched girl Yun Xi.
Liang Xinyi opened her mouth to say something, but before she could even speak, Yun Xi’s voice interrupted her from up the stairs.
“Cousin! You’re back! Why are you home so late today?”
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows as she came down the stairs. She shot a glance at Liang Xinyi then turned away and poured herself a cup of hot water from the water dispenser.
Upon seeing who it was, Liang Xinyi bit into her lips. Her eyes turned sharp and were filled with resentment.
Yun Xi continued speaking: “I heard from my classmates that my own cousin stole the exam papers in school. I also heard that someone in our school also stole exam papers. It can’t be a coincidence, right? Did you guys make an appointment or something?”
“Yun Xi, what do you mean?! How can Xinyi steal the exam papers? It’s clear that someone framed her! She is your cousin. Don’t you know what kind of person she is? How can any of this be true?” Chen Lixue was distraught with emotion.
Yun Xi simply nodded. She turned to look at Lian Xinyi as she sneered, “Yes! Of course, I know what kind of person my cousin is! Maybe this time, she tried to up a trap for someone else but shot her own foot instead? There’s always a chance that you’ll make a mistake and if you make the mistake, you will definitely have to pay the price.”
Yun Xi deliberately glared and Liang Xinyi as she said those words. Her eyes were a little mocking. “Don’t you agree, cousin?”
“Yun Xi, stop being so sarcastic. You know what you’re doing!”
Liang Xinyi was amazed that she was involved in any of this. The stolen exam paper from Jing High School was in Zhou Chengzhe’s hands, and Zhou Chengzhe was being framed. That had nothing to do with her, until now. It was reported that the exam paper from the affiliated high school had also been stolen. And surprisingly, the stolen exam paper was found on her own desk! She was dumbfounded when all this had happened.
When Zhou Chengzhe was exposed, she quickly realized that she had fallen into a trap.
If Yun Xi had framed Zhou Chengzhe, then what about her?
Yun Xi’s reach wasn’t that long. She wasn’t able to go to the affiliated high school. Liang Xinyi couldn’t understand how the exam papers appeared on her desk.
The only thing she understood was that all of this had something to do with Yun Xi!
But stealing exam papers wasn’t easy. There had to be someone else who was helping her.
Could it be Feng Yang? Or the Eldest Heir?
It was impressive that the wretched girl had many so many men wrapped around her fingers!
“Yeah,” Yun Xi retorted. “Shouldn’t you know you what you did, cousin? As the saying goes: ‘Don’t dig deeper into your own grave’! And don’t even think you can get away with whatever you want to do, just because you have someone from the Han family to help you. You’re not smart enough for that!”
Liang Xinyi clenched her hands into tight fists. Her cold face became more and more distorted. “So, you did frame me!”
Yun Xi shrugged as if to express that there was nothing that Liang Xinyi could do to her.
Meanwhile, Chen Lixue was watching the conversation. No matter how stupid she was, she finally understood what was going on. She was so angry that she forgot her place, and pointed her finger at Yun Xi.
“Wretched girl! Did you harm Xinyi again?!”
Chen Lixue ran up to Yun Xi and was just about to grab her. But just as she approached, Yun Xi dodged out of the way, sat on the armrest of the sofa, and casually raised her foot.
Chen Lixue’s attention was focused on Yun Xi, but not focused on her feet! She tripped and fell forward onto the floor.
“Ah! That hurts to death! Wretched girl, how dare you...”
Yun Xi looked down at Chen Lixue condescendingly. Her lips curled in a mocking smile. “Auntie, are you bowing down to me? It’s not even New Year’s yet.”

Chapter 615: Today Was Unlike Other Days
“You wretched girl!” Chen Lixue’s face reddened after Yun Xi had ridiculed her so condescendingly.
She was used to being the wife of the village chief, back when she lived in the countryside. As such, she was used to barking out orders and reprimanding others. But at this moment, being ridiculed in front of a little girl (and especially Lian Xiuqin) was almost like being slapped hard in her face.
To make matters worse, it was a bad fall. Chen Lixue was tingling in pain as she patted her hands on the wooden floor. She knelt on the ground but was in too much pain to stand up.
“Damn you girl! You’re out of control!”
Chen Lixue struggled to get up. But her legs were in too much pain. She turned towards Liang Xinyi and called out for help. “Xinyi, come here and help your mom up!”
Angry and annoyed, Liang Xinyi gritted her teeth and stepped forward to help Chen Lixue get up to the side of the sofa.
“That wretched girl is just bullying me like this. Is that how she represents the Yun family’s reputation?!”
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows. She was just about to make her response, but Liang Xiuqin, who had been watching the situation intently, quickly interjected.
“You have no right to make any comments about the Yun family’s reputation. You should have taken the time to raise your own daughter right. You don’t get to drag the Yun family name just because your daughter is about to get expelled from school. I’m ashamed of the both of you!”
“Liang Xiuqin, you...”
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Yun Xi stood up from the sofa and glared at Liang Xinyi, who was visibly gloomy. Yun Xi’s mannerisms and actions reflected her stature as the Yun family’s eldest young madam.
“Aunt, you know what your daughter has done. She doesn’t need you to stand up for her at all. If you’re planning on staying on in the Yun family’s house then you better settle down and keep quiet. If you can’t help but stir up trouble then just know that you’re doing so at your own risk.”
Yun Xi turned around and walked in front of the mother-daughter duo. She paused and shot a look of indifference at Liang Xinyi. “Liang Xinyi, you’re probably thinking of ways of getting your revenge on me. But remember, if you fail then it’s just your bad luck. If you still plan to live in Jingdu after the college entrance exams then you better back off. You’ll notice that things are different now. I’m no longer the weak Yun Xi that I was in Muyang Town.”
When she came back to the Yun family, even if there was no one else to support her, she would still be able to deal with their tricks.
Now that she has been reborn, she is no longer the weak Yun Xi!
With that reminder clearly declared, Liang Xinyi could do nothing but clench her fists tightly and glare at Yun Xi with vicious and bitter resentment.
Yun Xi, however, simply turned around and headed back upstairs, as if she didn’t care what Liang Xinyi was feeling.
“Wretched girl, where do you think you’re going?”
Chen Lixue was so angry that she was about to yell back. But before she should say too much, she was stopped by Liang Xinyi.
Yun Xi was standing at the top of the staircase landing. She was looking indifferently at Yun Chuhan, who had been standing there all this time and had been watching the entire proceeding. The third sister was now looking at Yun Xi in a peculiar manner.
“Dear eldest sister, Lian Xinyi may have the support of the Han family, but you have a supporter, right? And it’s someone even more powerful too.”
Upon hearing these words, Yun Xi lowered her gaze.
Yun Xi wondered whether Yun Chuhan had uncovered the relationship between her and the young marshal. She didn’t want to confirm any suspicions so she discreetly regained her calm and composure.
Yun Chuhan might only be baiting her, and her accusation did not mean that she knew anything.
“Yun Chuhan, what do you mean?”
“Oh, it’s nothing. I’ve spoken to Liang Xinyi about the exam paper theft. If you were the one who planted it to frame her, then it must have been difficult. It wouldn’t have been easy for you to steal the exam papers and put them in her seat. Since a student of another school can’t get into the affiliated high school, it must also mean that someone is helping you.”
“So what?” Yun Xi raised her eyebrows without taking the bait.
“I’m just curious, that’s all... You’ve been heading up the mountain every day... I wonder what that could mean...”
