He was right, only after she became strong could she rise above the others.

Only when she was strong enough, could she overturn the circ.u.mstances of her life. Then no one would dare to bully her.

“I set up this scheme, not to interfere in your family’s affairs, but just to test your determination and courage in such a situation.”

If she had been unable to fight back, then she wasn’t worth his high expectations.

Only if they were evenly matched would she be able to firmly hold the position of the wife of the Mu family’s heir.

“It wouldn’t be difficult to counterattack because my mom used extremely reckless and underhanded tactics.”

After standing up, she stepped back and raised her eyes to gaze at the man lazily lounging on the sofa in front of her.

His haughty demeanor, as well as the fact that he was in control of the entire situation, scared her a little.

“However, Young Marshal Mu, you have underestimated me.”

She turned and walked toward the rows of display shelves, found the place where the seal belonged, and put the Longyun Jade Seal back into its brocade box.

After glancing at the items on the display shelf, she finally selected a watch.

She turned to Mu Feichi and shook the watch she was holding in her hand. “Young Marshal Mu, I’m going to borrow this.”

Mu Feichi stepped forward, and, leaning on the display shelf, he glanced at the men’s watch in her hand and chuckled lightly.

“Wouldn’t it be more effective to use my jade seal?”

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows.

“My mother didn’t know who the owner of this jade seal was. If she had known it was you, she would never have used it to frame me. Although the effect on me might have been better, she would also have dragged the Yun family into the mess. She would never do something that stupid, no matter how brainless she is. Moreover, today’s auction manual didn’t reveal the ident.i.ty of the jade seal’s owner. According to the rules of the auction house, either this thing was added at the last minute or the owner is of very high status. If it was something my mom could lay her hands, of course she wouldn’t imagine it was the latter scenario.”

“In this case, wouldn’t it be better to use the seal? No one knows who the owner of the jade seal is, so as long as I don’t let on, it will be your mother, not the entire Yun family, who will be embarra.s.sed.”

“I thought of this before bringing the jade seal back, but now I don’t think so.”
