Yun Xi chuckled softly. “Mom seems so confident. She must have another way. Dad, Mom has thought of a way. Why not listen to her way of dealing with it?”

She knew that her mother was probably bluffing since all her connections had been ruined by her actions at the charity auction.

The only person she could think of now to help them would no doubt be Jiang Henglin.

If she wanted Jiang Henglin to help them, Yun Ziling had to be very charming indeed.

Yun Yuanfeng looked disdainful and scoffed, “What can she think of?”

“That’s not necessarily true. Mom never bluffs.”

Since her mother was so eager to pick a fight, of course she couldn’t miss the opportunity to watch the farce.

Yun Yuanfeng glanced at Liang Xiuqin, who smiled at Yun Xi smugly. Her expression seemed to say that she could accomplish this.

Liang Xiuqin had this rare opportunity to crush this wretched girl, and she had suppressed the urge to tell anyone about this idea until Yun Xi was in the room.

She wanted to see Yun Xi shunned by her dad.

“I heard from Ziling that lately Young Master Jiang has been going to her school to look for her every day. Although old man Jiang had arranged for him to marry Yun Xi, it doesn’t seem certain that they are destined to be together. Young Master Jiang likes Ziling, and, as parents, we can’t ruin their romance just because of some arranged marriage from long ago. So, no matter what happens, we will still end up being in-laws to the Jiang family in the future. And since they’re sisters, who cares which one he marries? Don’t you agree, husband?”

Yun Yuanfeng understood her meaning. She was informing him about the relations.h.i.+p between Second Young Master Jiang and Yun Ziling.

She’d also hinted that the Jiang family could help them.

Listening to her mother, Yun Xi was dying to start applauding. She nodded, desperate to suppress her laughter.

“Dad, Mom is right. It would be much better if the Jiang family helped us in this matter. After all, Mr. Chen has a special status. He isn’t directly involved in this matter. If we draw more people’s attention, we will inevitably become a target of this investigation.”

Speaking of this to the Jiang family would actually entail the same risks as talking to the Chen family, but since her mother was so confident, why not let her dig her own grave?

Let her volunteer to take the bait…

“Yes! So what if he’s rich and powerful, it doesn’t matter to us if he doesn’t help.”

Yun Yuanfeng glared at Liang Xiuqin. “Watch your mouth. He’s a distinguished man from the Chen family.”
