Chapter 876-877

“Concerning this matter, it was clearly your father’s fault, and he should be held responsible. What he has done has wronged both our families and my father.” “Didn’t you hear what your mother just said? She admitted herself that she seduced my father. She was the one who came in between my parents. She is shameless. Is she thinking of having someone else pay for her shamelessness?” She had finally understood the meaning of being shameless today. People who were willing to stoop very low are very hard to defeat. Yun Xi knew very well that Yun Yuanfeng would not take responsibility for what had happened today. That was why she hadn’t stopped Liang Xinyi from drugging her father and having her mother get into trouble. She’d even played along with them and brought her uncle over to witness their show. After all, it wasn’t anything glorious. Chen Lixue had been bold enough to admit before her uncle that she did not love him and that she wanted the director’s wife position. It was obvious that she hadn’t given herself any room to retreat. Unfortunately, she had underestimated the selfishness of Yun Yuanfeng. Before he had been firmly ensconced as a director, both mother and daughter’s want for a better status seemed impossible. Even though he was firmly in his director position, there was still the problem of their presence in the Yun family. Yun Xi could simply produce the video, and Yun Yuanfeng would easily dispel the thought of letting Chen Lixue take the director wife’s position. The story of an affair of a younger sister’s husband with his brother-in-law’s wife was going to be a joke worth telling over meals. But if anyone had accused Director Yun of visiting a **********, it would not be a funny joke any longer. The ball was in her court. Liang Xinyi wouldn’t be able to overturn anything. Yun Xi glanced at her uncle, turned, and looked at Liang Xinyi, whose face had turned red. “Liang Xinyi, you should be on your father’s side now rather than on your mother’s, encouraging her to become my stepmother. With me and Grandpa here, do you really think it is possible for your mother to marry into the Yun family?” “You...” Yun Xi’s words were tantamount to trying to sow discord between her and her father. Seeing that her innermost thoughts had been revealed, Liang Xinyi turned pale. She looked at Liang Weimin and saw that his eyes were turned to look at her face, as cold as the slice of a knife. “You guys clean up properly. I’ll go to the front desk and get the first aid box. Dad, if you are nauseated, don’t drive. They have a driver at the resort. Let them take you to the hospital for an examination first.” Yun Xi took a deep breath of cold air after she came out of the room. She looked up and saw Jiang Henglin standing outside. She thought of the absurd request he had just made, sneered, and turned to walk toward her room. “Yun Xi, aren’t you afraid that if the news of today’s event gets leaked, it will affect your father’s political career? Don’t forget, I just need to say a few words to my father, and your father will have endless trouble.” Yun Xi paused, turned her body halfway around, and looked at the proud chap behind her, playfully smiling. “Jiang Henglin, did you soak too long in the pool and cause water to enter into your brain? Did something happen today? Do you have any evidence? Even if Uncle Jiang believes what you have said or if you find a witness, do you think that given Uncle Jiang’s personality and conduct, he would do such a despicable thing?” In the political world, there were many people who would rub salt into your wounds, but given the relationship between the Jiang family and the Yun family, Uncle Jiang would never stoop so low. Jiang Henglin’s threats to her over such a small matter were really dishonorable. “How do you know he won’t? If he won’t, perhaps the political opponents of your father might.” “If that’s the case, my father will deal with it. After what has happened today, he ought to be responsible for his own actions. What does this have to do with me? You just want me to beg you. I have two words for you—FAT CHANCE!” This man really had holes in his brain. Why would he get so much satisfaction by seeing her beg? She would definitely never beg him for anything. *** On the way back home, Yun Xi and Zhao Yumo rode in Jiang Chenghuan’s car. This ordeal today had really blown up. Actually, the one who had been hurt the most was Yun Xi’s soft, kind-hearted uncle. 　 　 However, if they hadn’t done this, he would never have been able to see through Chen Lixue’s facade. 　 　 What should be done next was up to the adults. Yun Xi didn’t worry that anything outside of her expectations would happen. 　 　 Right now, Yun Xi’s second aunt was in charge of the Yun family, and she was completely in accord with the will of her second aunt. 　 　 “Yun Xi, what are you planning to do next?” Zhao Yumo was worried that what had happened today was going to affect Yun Xi’s mood. She was thinking of trying to help her come up with solutions. 　 　 “No worries. My dad isn’t a kid. He knows that he did something wrong, and he has to take responsibility for his own actions.” 　 　 A man who couldn’t control the lower half of his body... What great things could he do? 　 　 “Well, what if your parents really get divorced? That aunt of yours doesn’t look like a kind person, no matter how I look at her.” 　 　 “Hee, hee, hee, I’ve never taken people on their level seriously. I just feel bad because my uncle...” 　 　 When she mentioned her innocent uncle, Yun Xi raised her head to look at Jiang Chenghuan in the driver’s seat, and she said, “Second Master Jiang, since my uncle was invited to attend this conference in Jingdu, were the people there intending to promote him?” 　 　 Typically, if they had the connections, those who were chosen to attend the Representatives Conference wouldn’t have a hard time rising up the ranks. 　 　 Jiang Chenghuan looked at her in his rear-view mirror and nodded slightly, “They did have that intention. Your uncle has a decent political track record in the countryside. All he lacked was a network and connections. If you want him to be shifted over to Jingdu, I can get someone to arrange it. Anything not to spoil your plan.” 　 　 “All right, understood,” Yun Xi replied. Regardless of whether Uncle and Aunt were going to divorce, even if Uncle shifted over to Jingdu, his official position wouldn’t be higher than Yun Yuanfeng’s. 　 　 With Chen Lixue’s ego, she would never reconcile herself to give up on contending for the place as the wife of a director, even if she became the spouse of a small official. 　 　 There were way too many temptations in Yun Yuanfeng’s position as a director. With Chen Lixue’s background and status, it was impossible for her to enter the Yun family. In the end, all of her efforts were going to go to waste, and she would end up failing to please anybody. 　 　 ... 　 　 It was still early when Yun Xi got back home. Yao Ying was a little startled when she saw Yun Xi coming back so early in the morning, carrying her backpack. She looked behind Yun Xi, only to see that there were no others returning with her, so she hurriedly came forward. 　 　 “Yun Xi, weren’t you guys supposed to be coming back tomorrow night? How come you are back so early? What happened?” 　 　 Yun Xi told her Second Aunt what had happened that morning. She didn’t tell her about Liang Xinyi drugging Yun Yuanfeng, but Yao Ying’s expression turned ugly after hearing about the story. 　 　 After all, this was a family scandal. If it became known by outsiders, it would be immensely shameful for the Yun family. 　 　 “What a disgrace! How could Brother do something like this, and that aunt of yours... Absolutely shameless!” 　 　 “Don’t tell Grandpa about this. It would seriously upset him. Besides, I don’t think my father could handle such humiliation either.” 　 　 “I know. Wait till they come back. We’ll see how they have chosen to handle this whole thing.” 　 　 Yun Xi roughly knew how Yun Yuanfeng would deal with such a thing. 　 　 As she expected, when Yun Yuanfeng came back, Liang Xiuqin and Chen Lixue came back as well. The moment Chen Lixue came back, she was chased upstairs to pack up her belongings. 　 　 Yun Xi looked at Yun Yuanfeng, who had already bandaged his wounds, as she came downstairs. She asked, “Dad, where’s Uncle? Why didn’t he come over?” 　 　 “Your uncle came to Jingdu for a conference. He has a place to stay.” 　 　 “Oh, then what about Aunt? Is she moving out?” 　 　 “Erm, she’ll be able to take better care of your cousin for the high school graduation exams by moving out,” Yun Yuanfeng muttered, obviously exhausted. Of course, he’d paid a hefty price to reach such a compromise in the end. 　 　 “Move to where? It’s not easy to find a house in such a hurry, right?” 　 　 “I got someone to rent a house for them to stay in temporarily. Yun Xi, don’t tell Grandpa about this.” 　 　 “I understand.” Yun Xi nodded. All of these arrangements were within her expectations.
