Chapter 116 - Killing Three Birds with One Stone (1/2)

“Wait!” Just as Yun Ziling and Liang Xiuqin were about to be taken out of the room by security, Jiang Henglin spoke up.

Jiang Wanyun frowned and turned her head. With a serious look on her face, she scolded, “Henglin, what are you doing?”

“Aunt!” Jiang Henglin found Yun Xi’s overbearing mannerisms insufferable.

He thought that her haughty demeanor was unbearable and annoying.

She must be an extremely calculating girl to be so cruel toward her own sister and mother.

“I am the owner of the watch. Since the watch has been recovered, in order for the auction to proceed as planned, let’s move past this! This auction is for madame, and if things get blown up, madame won’t be pleased either. Besides, I’m engaged to the Yun family’s eldest daughter, so if not for her sake, then for her family’s sake. What do you say?”

While saying this, Jiang Henglin deliberately glanced at Yun Xi.

In the eyes of others, that glance might have seemed romantic, but Yun Xi knew that glance was a warning.

In regard to his warning, Yun Xi glanced back at him pleasantly.

Blinking, she appeared nonchalant.

It was as if she didn’t care that her fiance was begging for mercy for Yun Ziling.

However, in reality, her impression of her fiance had just taken a 360-degree turn.

He was really doing a good job as a peacemaker.

Using Yun Ziling to throw her under the bus wasn’t exactly a shrewd move.

But it was undeniable that Jiang Henglin had managed to do so shrewdly and impeccably.

On the surface, it had appeared that he was doing this for the sake of Yun Xi. He’d decided to let bygones be bygones and, in turn, he’d done a big favor for the Yun family.

But, in reality, he was defending Yun Ziling and giving Yun Xi a slap in the face to snub her for acting so haughty in front of him.

As long as he had her mother and Yun Ziling firmly in his grasp, there would be opportunities to use them to conspire against her and torment her until she took the initiative to cancel the engagement.

Then, in front of outsiders, he would not only preserve his reputation, but also successfully get rid of her, a burden, without angering the old man in the process.

Three birds with one stone, how ingenious!

It seemed that today she’d succeeded in using Yun Ziling as bait to catch Jiang Henglin, the bigger fis.h.!.+
