Chapter 29 (2/2)

“The Yun family”

“Which Yun family?” His slim fingers tapped on the table.

It was the same question that Jiang Wanyun had asked, but there was a sense of oppression when it came from him, and it made her fear lying to him.

“Master Mu is planning to change careers and start checking household registrations? It doesn’t look like the work of an old lady from the neighborhood committee suits you very well.”

“How would you know if you don’t try?” Mu Feichi’s lips pressed slightly together as he replied evenly.

His att.i.tude was compromising, aggressive, and overbearing!

Another wave of feeling like prey surged up in Yun Xi’s heart whenever he stared intensely at her.

Jiang Wanyun and her son still sat behind them, and if she were to speak honestly, it would make it seem like she was disrespecting the older woman.

This kind of arrogant behavior would only spell future trouble for her.

Naturally, she wouldn’t dig a hole for herself.

“I’m only a country girl, and our family is an inconsequential one in Jingdu. It’s of no interest to Master Mu.”

She wasn’t going to really cross paths with him again, so she could lie as much as she wanted.

Even if she fooled him, a man holding an esteemed position and standing on the top of the pyramid like him would pay no attention to a minor person like her.

The more she deliberately stressed this point, the more Mu Feichi believed that her Yun family in Jingdu was actually not a common family.

He was totally cognizant of the entire situation in Jingdu, and when she had mentioned the Yuns, he only had one impression within his database.

As far as he knew, the eldest heiress of the Yuns was being raised in the countryside, and she also had an arranged marriage with the eldest heir of the Jiangs.

Mu Feichi couldn’t help but recall Qi Yuan’s reports. Yun Xi had a ruthless aunt who’d even pushed Yun Xi off a cliff so that her daughter could replace her.

It appears that this little creature was none other than the eldest heiress of the Yuns.

The Yuns had been successful in the earliest years. However, they had later been dragged down from a few incidents that had resulted in their decline in recent years.

Her father, Yun Yuanfeng, hadn’t been able to move any further than his position as Deputy Director, and next year would be time to select and change positions.

If he still wasn’t promoted to the position of Director by then, his future would probably remain at standstill.

Since he was calling the daughter with wedding arrangements with the Jiangs back home at this time, it was probably because he was trying to use this marriage to gain the support of the Jiangs.

With powerful support from a family like the Jiangs, why would they ever worry about not having a bright future?
