Chapter 101 - A Trap Set by an Amateur (2/2)

…

After lunch, Liang Xiuqin took Liang Xinyi and Yun Ziling out to do their hair and makeup. They racked their brains on how to get as glamorous as possible to attend the evening charity dinner.

The old man rested upstairs, and Yao Ying returned to her own villa outside their villa complex.

Yun Xi had nothing to do and was reading in her room to prepare for the next week’s school test.

The maid knocked on her door and asked her to go downstairs to answer the phone.

After picking up the phone, she hadn’t even had the chance to speak when the person on the other end started talking.

“It’s me. How’s the gown? Have you tried it on?”

After hearing his voice, Yun Xi froze for a moment, then snapped back to reality.

“Uh…Young Marshal Mu, it was you?”

She hadn’t expected that he had been the one who’d sent her the gown.

“If it wasn’t me, who did you think it was from? Chen Yichen?”

“No, it’s just that I can’t accept such an exorbitant gift from Young Marshal Mu without deserving it.”

“You deserve it. Just don’t cheat on me!”

“…” The abrupt change in topic rendered her at a loss for words.

“Does Young Marshal Mu have some matter to discuss with me?”

“I wanted to tell you that your mother bribed a staff member from the auction tonight and asked him to steal the Longyun Jade Seal from the auction.”

“Huh?” Yun Xi froze for a moment, then reacted quickly. “How do you know?”

“All the staff members working at the auction are my people. Your mother bribed him, and he reported this to me as soon as possible.”

“It seems that my mother doesn’t have the skills to set a trap, so I can’t compliment her even if I wanted to.”

She’d already had a few guesses on how her mother had planned on scheming against her, but she didn’t expect her to be such an amateur.

“Indeed it was to scheme against you, so what are you going to do about it?”
