Chapter 237 - Ruthless and Fearless (1/2)

Yun Xi, Yun Yuanfeng’s daughter, was his only hope.

It was possible for her to establish ties with either the distinguished Jiang family or the affluent Chen family.

Yun Xi determined how prosperous his life was going to be for the next 20 years or so.

Compared to the useless outsider, Liang Xinyi, Yun Xi was much better in so many aspects, not to mention that Yun Xi was his biological daughter who was related to him by blood.

She could help establish ties with two distinguished families, but what could Liang Xinyi help him with?

Besides not helping him with anything, lately, she kept dragging the Yun family down.

If he used his influence to pressure people into getting Liang Xinyi bailed out that day, it was very likely that the authorities would investigate him tomorrow.

At such a critical period when he was waiting on a promotion, any mistake had the potential of making him lose his job.

That brainless woman he’d married, Liang Xiuqin, acted as if she had been bewitched, caring more about an outsider than her own daughter. She was really out of her mind.

After being yelled at by her husband, Liang Xiuqin felt the rage that she was forced to contain building up and getting trapped in her throat. She felt so suffocated that her face grew red.

“What are you yelling at me for? Ever since this wretched girl came back, the entire Yun family has been on edge. Did you forget what the fortune-teller said? Her presence will kill us.”

“I think you are the one who will kill us all.”

Pointing to her nose as he scolded her, Yun Yuanfeng was completely exasperated by Liang Xiuqin’s obsession with superst.i.tions.

“During this period, which incident hasn’t been caused by you and your troublemaker niece? Besides getting a taste of your own medicine, you’ve also managed to drag me down, and yet you continue to shamelessly blame Yun Xi. If she hadn’t gone to the Chen family to plead for mercy, you would’ve no longer been the wife of a vice president. Liang Xiuqin, I’m warning you: don’t get too big for your britches. If you dare to give me any more trouble, I will kick you and your niece both back to the countryside.”

A woman who could only drag him down was useless to him.

He must have been blind to have married her. Not only did she have no distinguished background, but she was also troublesome and a petty gossip.

Yun Xi stood on the sidelines nonchalantly, regarding her father’s ferocious countenance.

It seemed as if she had not been mistaken. Her father didn’t have much affection left for her mother.

For Yun Yuanfeng, his personal interests and his future were his top priorities. Liang Xiuqin had no distinguished background, so she couldn’t help much in terms of his future.
