Chapter 47 (1/2)
Yun Xi stood in the living room as she looked up at her Grandfather Yun and Liang Xiuqin, who had come to pick her up.
In her previous lifetime, she had taken advantage of the relations.h.i.+p between the Jiang and Yun families. As the eldest daughter, her grandfather had loved her quite a bit and never allowed her to suffer any injustices.
In Jingdu, the eldest sons and daughters enjoyed the first inheritance rights in the family.
In the past two decades in Jingdu, the Four Great Clans had not produced many heirs. Some clans hadn’t even had sons, so inheritance by the eldest daughters had slowly become a type of tradition, and they had begun to stand as equals with the eldest sons.
This was also the reason why Yun Xi wanted to return to the Yun family. As the eldest daughter, the family inheritance right still belonged to her, even if the Yuns had a male heir!
She’d lived like too much of a coward in her previous lifetime, so all the good things and everything that had belonged to her had all been given away to Yun Ziling and Yun Chuhan.
Aside from Grandfather Yun, who truly loved Yun Xi, everyone else in the family had used her as a tool.
She would no longer compromise in this lifetime!
Nor would she make any concession!
“Yun Xi, I am your grandfather.” Grandfather Yun saw the granddaughter who had been sent away over ten years ago and had now become an adult.
He did feel regret and emotion to see her again after all the years.
“Grandfather.” Yun Xi smiled and discreetly concealed her emotions to make herself appear as if she wasn’t being too deliberate or aloof.
Jiang Wanyun and Grandfather Chen also came out from the dining room. They greeted Grandfather Yun, but no one paid any attention to Liang Xiuqin as she sent over looks of flattery.
“Senior Mr. Jiang, I’ve troubled you!”
Grandfather Yun looked at his previous boss with awkwardness before sending Liang Xiuqin a look to tell her to get over there.
“What are you looking at? Hurry up and apologize humbly to Grandfather Jiang!”
Liang Xiuqin composed herself. Recalling the incredible embarra.s.sment she’d brought down upon herself yesterday, she awkwardly walked up to Grandfather Jiang to apologize.
Out of respect for Grandfather Yun, Grandfather Jiang didn’t give her a very hard time.
“You know clearly who is real and who is fake. Our Jiang family will only accept this one Yun Xi. I see her as my granddaughter-in-law. If she suffers any injustice when she returns to the Yin family, don’t blame me for not giving Old Yun any face.”
These words served as both a reminder and a warning. When said before all these people, it was completely humiliating for Liang Xiuqin.
