Liang Xiuqin s.h.i.+vered. Then she raised her head and threw Yun Xi a vicious glare.

Yun Xi’s decision not to help her in her hour of need had basically cut off Liang Xiuqin’s only means of escape.

She’d originally thought that because the wretched girl had enjoyed such good relations with the Jiang family and the Chen family, she didn’t need to worry too much.

With such a relations.h.i.+p, no matter how big the scandal was, the Jiang family and the Chen family would want to allow the wretched girl to maintain her pride and would let bygones be bygones.

But who could have known that Yun Xi, the wretched girl, wouldn’t want to help them.

“You wretched girl, you’re still a member of the Yun family. Now that something bad has happened at home, how can you not help us? If you’re so useless that you don’t want to help with anything, why did you even come back in the first place?”

“Mom, weren’t you the one least in favor of me coming back? However, now that you need to use me, you see the advantages of being a.s.sociated with me?”

Yun Xi lifted her eyes a little bit toward her mother, and there was a calm coldness in her eyes.

The smile at the corners of her mouth made Liang Xiuqin feel that her smile was smug and insufferable.

Why should she get all the benefits while they suffered humiliation?

In Liang Xiuqin’s eyes, Yun Xi, a scourge, wasn’t worthy of any benefits.

All the good things should only belong to Yun Ziling.

“We’re a family, so what do you mean by using you?”

“When you framed me at the auction, you weren’t thinking of us as a family. You have always been partial to Yun Ziling. I’ve never said anything, but I am also your daughter!”

If her mother had ever showed the slightest bit of affection toward her, she might not have been so ruthless toward her.

Unfortunately, this path had been chosen by her mother on her own. She had no right to blame Yun Xi for being cruel.

“That’s only because the social connections and reputation that Ziling had built up can’t be damaged. She has a heart disease, so it won’t be easy for her to marry someone wealthy or of high standing. It was you who jinxed her and have made her suffer so much since birth. As her older sister it’s only reasonable for you to bear suffering for her. What was wrong with my partiality?”
