Chapter 70 (1/2)

Just at that moment, Yun Yuanfeng happened to be coming down from upstairs. Liang Xiuqin seized the opportunity to pull her husband to the side.

“Husband, Yun Xi is going to the Chen family’s house, so why not let Ziling go along? Yun Xi isn’t sensible, so why don’t we let Ziling accompany her to make sure she doesn’t offend the Chen family.”

Yun Yuanfeng glanced at Yun Xi. He had no idea what scheme his wife had in mind.

If Ziling could marry the eldest son of the Chen family, and their eldest daughter could be the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, then both the Jiang family and the Chen family would be his relatives.

With these two families standing behind him, if he wanted a brighter future, what was there to stop him from reaching the peak?

“All right then, Yun Xi, why don’t you let your sister go with you so that you two can cooperate?”

Yun Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, then nodded with her lips slightly pursed. “Okay!”

Just as Yun Ziling was about to rejoice, Yun Xi innocently continued, “I haven’t bought a gift for the Chen family yet, but since mother said that second sister knows the etiquette of high society better than I do, the task of buying the gift should go to her. What do you think?”

First she wanted to take advantage of her, then she also wanted her to pay for them? No way!

Upon hearing that she had to pay for the meeting, Yun Ziling’s face suddenly fell.

Her monthly allowance was so meager that it was barely enough for her to buy cosmetics and clothes.

That wretched girl Yun Xi had taken a lot of money from her dad as soon as she’d come back, including the money that was meant to buy the Chen family a gift.

“Why should I be the one to pay for the gift when I’m only tagging along?” Yun Ziling wondered.

Since she would be going only to advise her, Yun Xi should just be grateful that she didn’t ask for tuition money.

Yun Xi turned her head and gazed at her mother with a smile. “Mom, I’m well acquainted with the Chen family. It doesn’t matter whether I bring a meeting gift or not. I’m just going to visit the injured elder son. But if second sister comes, the meaning of the visit will change. Since she’s so well-versed in the rules of society, she can’t possibly show up empty-handed now, can she? How embarra.s.sing would that be for the Yun family?”

Liang Xiuqin’s eyes shot daggers at Yun Xi. They would have to pay even though they hadn’t even benefited from anything yet. If Yun Xi was in their shoes, she wouldn’t be pleased either.

After all, Yun Yuanfeng had already given his money to Yun Xi.
