Chapter 167 - Your Smarts Are All Street Smarts (1/2)

In the car, Yun Xi could sense that Young Marshal Mu had become quite sulky.

When he had been confronting Jiang Henglin before, he had been domineering without considering the other person’s pride.

With his status, he really didn’t need to consider other people’s moods when doing things.

But it was unfortunate for the Jiang family to be dragged down by that idiot Jiang Henglin. It was a terrible one-bad-apple-ruined-the-lot situation.

As she was thinking about it, Mu Feichi stopped the car at the intersection.

“You’ve caught the fish, so what do you plan to do now? Steam it? Braise it in brown sauce?”

“Huh?” Yun Xi snapped back to reality, then raised her head dazedly and looked into a pair of pitch-black eyes.

His handsome, striking facial features were so chiseled they appeared as if they had been carved by an ax. The lines from his eyebrows to the tip of his nose to his lips made him appear austere and formidable.

Their eyes locked, and a chilly vibe emanated between them.

Yun Xi’s heart suddenly missed a beat, and she felt as if she was about to be sucked into his pitch-black eyes.

Being so close, she could almost feel the chilliness of her own breath.

It took a while before she understood what he meant, and she coughed awkwardly.

“I don’t plan on eating this fish. Besides, you saw Jiang Henglin’s att.i.tude today. He is a brainless puffer fish, full of thorns and poison, so I’m not eager to eat him.”

Mu Feichi narrowed his eyes. It was undeniable that her description was true.

“Since he’s not for eating, you simply baited him to make trouble for yourself?”

“No! My mother and my sister aren’t challenging as enemies, and their tricks are too juvenile and too insulting for my IQ. I let him into the ring to increase the challenge.”

Yun Xi shrugged and chuckled softly. Her watery eyes were bright like dazzling stars.

Jiang Henglin had fallen for the bait, and he was going to be in cahoots with her mother and sister in the future. She wouldn’t have to worry about any obstacles to canceling the marriage contract in the future.

In her last life, she’d needed to rely on Jiang Henglin to keep her position, but in this life she no longer needed it.

Without the Jiang family, she still had the Chen family.
