Chapter 49 (1/2)

Yun Xi turned around to look at Chen Yichen with a look of admiration, her eyes sparkling with brilliant starlight.

He was indeed one of the five heirs of the Jingdu, for he had impressive abilities to scold people!

With merely a few words, he’d been able to scold her mother into humiliation. She had truly embarra.s.sed herself and her husband today!

Yun Xi wondered if Liang Xiuqin would vomit three liters of blood once she went home and her head cooled down.

“Chenchen, don’t be rude.” Jiang Wanyun walked over to shake her head at her son.

Although her son has said everything she’d wanted to, they couldn’t humiliate Grandfather Yun like that. He was still standing right there!

“Mrs. Yun, Yun Xi rescued our Chenchen, and our family will always remember this favor! If Yun Xi asks us for anything in the future, we will do our best to help her!”

Jiang Wanyun had been around Mrs. Chen for so many years, so she could easily deal with a woman like Liang Xiuqin.

She made her words clear enough—both the literal and implied meaning referred to Yun Xi being the main subject.

The Chens would have to repay their debt to Yun Xi, but not the Yun family. Nor was it for Liang Xiuqin.

Liang Xiuqin wasn’t able to elicit any favors at all, so her face turned pale with anger. She was so embarra.s.sed that the smile nearly fell off her face!

Grandfather Yun also thought that he was thoroughly humiliated before Grandfather Jiang and the Chen family, so he scoffed before glaring at Liang Xiuqin.

He knew all about Liang Xiuqin’s shrewdness and greed, but he had never seen someone one to eager to humiliate themselves before the Four Great Clans!

Yun Xi gritted her teeth to keep her mouth close in order to painfully squash her urge to laugh.

She put her hand behind her back and gave Chen Yichen a thumbs up.

Chen Yichen eyed her tiny, pale hand and curled his lips into a subtle smile. Her slender fingers were finely shaped and so fair-skinned that he had the urge to give them a bite!

His gloomy but handsome face had appeared harsh and aloof in the previous moment but now warmed slightly with a subtle beam of suns.h.i.+ne.

“Grandfather, let’s go home!” Yun Xi turned around to chime in and break the awkwardness.
