“It was bad enough that you couldn’t get any help from the Jiang family, but now you’re blaming Yun Xi. She was at dinner with the entire Chen family. If she had said anything about my needing help in front of all those people, not only she, but the entire Yun family, would have been humiliated!”

“Then what is she gloating about? She started blabbering as soon as she got home. She’s done nothing to help us.”

“You shut up!” Yun Yuanfeng was on edge.

What had happened with Yun Xi and the Chen family today had been a rare opportunity, yet Yun Xi really couldn’t have said anything.

Liang Xiuqin had gotten in touch with the Jiang family, but they simply wouldn’t help.

What was Yun Yuanfeng going to do now?

Yun Xi watched with an innocent expression as her mother dug her own grave. Then she added nonchalantly, “Today, the heir of the Jiang family was also at the luncheon.”

“The heir of the Jiang family…”

Yun Yuanfeng shuddered with envy. He couldn’t believe that all these people he had never had the honor to meet had all been gathered together for one meal.

“Did you talk to him a lot…?”

We’re talking about the heir of the Jiang family, a truly glorious status!

If they ever managed to social climb, the Yun family’s status in Jingdu could be different in the future.

“We talked a little bit. He’d come to accompany the old Madame for a meal. It seems that he has a close relations.h.i.+p with her. The old Madame treats him as if he were her own child.”

Yun Xi picked the most unimportant details to talk about. She said, “I was simply dragged there by the Eldest Heir. I was purely an outsider, so of course the heir didn’t take me very seriously.”

Yun Yuanfeng sighed with disappointment. At this moment, he felt really helpless.

“How about…? Yun Xi, do you think you could go to the Chen family’s house to ask them for help privately. Doesn’t old Madame Chen like you very much? You could ask her to relay a message to Mr. Chen…”

“I’m not sure whether Madame Chen will help, since, after all, they really aren’t indebted to us any longer. Also, the vase that Yun Ziling broke last time she was there has never been compensated for.”

At the mention of this, Liang Xiuqin’s face suddenly soured.

“The incident with the vase was all your fault. Why should Ziling take responsibility for your mistakes? Besides, in terms of the compensation, couldn’t it be resolved if you put in a word with Madame Chen? I think you choose to use this issue to embarra.s.s our family. Are you even a member of the Yun family anymore? Why have you become so treacherous?”

“You shut up!” Yun Yuanfeng couldn’t dare to allow her to offend Yun Xi now.

Liang Xiuqin’s brainless words gave him an enormous headache.
