From the bushes, Yun Xi witnessed Liang Xinyi leaving empty-handed. She finally wiped the dust and dirt off herself and stood up.

She’d already expected this outcome when she’d arrived, so she purposely caused a big commotion. Her goal was to make everyone in the entire villa complex aware that a fake eldest heiress of the Yun family had come home.

When Yun Xi went home, she would look forward to seeing how Liang Xiuqin weaseled her way out of this.

Liang Xiuqin always loved her pride, and this was also a critical moment for her dad, Yun Yuanfeng, as he was being selected for a promotion. Gossip was a frightful thing, so she refused to believe that Liang Xiuqin would be able to sleep soundly after all this.

But now, the only problem she needed to solve was where she would stay for the night.

She didn’t have enough money on her to afford a hotel. She also hadn’t seen her grandfather come out, even after having caused such a ruckus, so he must be away from home.

She had no idea when he would be back, so it wasn’t safe to stay here.

Looking up at Tianyu Mountain standing tall amidst the clouds, the Mu Mansion was located on the peak of the mountain.

Mu Feichi wasn’t there, and the journey up to the peak was extremely dangerous.

Even though she had trained with the special forces unit for a few days in her previous lifetime, she didn’t dare to guarantee her survival at this time.

After considering it repeatedly, she decided to go to the Jiangs nearby to try her luck.

The Jiangs were one of the Four Great Clans of Jingdu. The homes of the Four Great Clans were located on the four lucky feng shui quadrants of Jingdu.

The Hans were in the east, the Chens were in the west, the Sus were in the south, and the Jiangs were in the north.

The Four Great Clans had rich and deep roots in Jingdu, possessing deep cultivation. It was no wonder that the Yuns used all means necessary to latch onto this wealthy family.

Yun Xi was fully aware that Liang Xiuqin was determined to reclaim the jade pendant. Since Liang Xiuqin knew that Yun Xi had nowhere to go, she would certainly take the jade pendant to the Jiangs to seek help. There was no question she would try to catch Yun Xi there.

So Yun Xi didn’t wait at the entrance but hid in a cafe near the villa complex.

Just as she’d expected, Yun Xi had only been there for a short period of time before seeing Liang Xiuqin take Liang Xinyi as they hurriedly rushed over there.

Soon afterward, the car that had driven in ended up exiting once again. They returned fruitlessly and were probably pent up with anger.

The more anxious they felt, the more calm Yun Xi became. She was able to compose herself even better now.

On the other side, Jiang Wanyun was no match for her precious son’s insistence after taking him to disinfect his wound and get st.i.tches. They took a private flight back to Jingdu.
