Chapter 69 (1/2)

Yun Xi, who was already on the porch, turned around and glanced at the two of them, who were following behind her, keeping their distance.

Her mother had been talking about jinxing things a moment ago, but at the moment she appeared self-righteous. Based on her understanding of her mother, she already guessed what they wanted her to do.

However, she felt that beggars should have beggars’ att.i.tudes.

Since they appeared so self-righteous, did they really think she was that much of a pushover?

“Mom, what else do you want?”

Without waiting for Liang Xiuqin to answer, Yun Xi pretended to suddenly realize what was going on. “Oh, Mom, perhaps you would like to go to the Chens’ house together? You made Mrs. Chen suffer so much embarra.s.sment in front of so many people last time, I’m not sure whether she still welcomes you.”

Upon being reminded of the awkwardness and embarra.s.sment of that day, Liang Xiuqin’s face turned purple.

For Yun Ziling’s future, however, she must endure whatever embarra.s.sment was necessary.

In the future, if they become relatives of the Chen family, who would dare not be deferential toward her?

“What do you know! I’m just afraid that you’ll mess things up and offend the Chen family. You just arrived here from the countryside, so how much can you know about Jingdu. If you offend people, we adults are the ones who suffer.”

Yun Xi stared at her mother’s shameless face and smirked mischievously.

What she really wanted to say was if you don’t drag me down, I’ll be the one that will have to thank you.

She looked at Yun Ziling, who appeared amused, then looked at her mother, and asked directly, “So?”

“Therefore, in order to prevent you from causing trouble for our family, let Ziling go with you. At least she has been living in Jingdu all this time, and she understands the rules of the high-society circle better than you do. She can also mention things you don’t understand and advise you.”

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and asked with a fake smile, “If second sister gets in trouble, would you also want me to be the scapegoat?”

She knew clearly what Liang Xiuqin and Yun Ziling were planning. Didn’t they just want to use her to do some social climbing via the Chen family?

Since the Jiang family was a lost cause now, and Yun Ziling had a history of congenital heart disease, if she didn’t find a way out, few families would probably accept her.

It’s just that their calculations were all wrong.
