Yun Xi put an innocent expression on her face and chuckled. “Compared to me, who is really his fiancee in the eyes of society, what are you?”

Yun Ziling grimaced and gritted her teeth.

Yun Xi stepped forward and looked closely at Yun Ziling in a condescending manner. It was only because her mother had spoiled Yun Ziling so much that she had gotten way too big for her britches.

However, given her mother’s IQ and morals, she definitely hadn’t expected her spoiling to turn Yun Ziling into someone talented or educated.

“Everyone in Jingdu knows that I am Jiang Henglin’s fiancee. If he picks up with you behind my back, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face for Grandfather Jiang and for me? Although we’re not married, with my status, do you really think you could get away with that? If he doesn’t even take me seriously, why do you expect him to take you seriously?”

Yun Xi reached out and patted Yun Ziling’s face condescendingly. She was happy to give this stupid girl a lecture.

“Prominent families value reputation the most. You and Mother went out of your way to embarra.s.s the Jiang family. Did you really think the Jiang family would help Dad?”

If she had gone to ask them, perhaps Grandfather Jiang would have considered intervening in this matter.

However, it was a pity that her mother and Yun Ziling had gone there begging for leniency. It was the equivalent of giving the old man a slap in the face.

Her mother didn’t have enough brains. There was no way Grandfather Jiang would help them now after Liang Xiuqin had gone there and humiliated the old man.

With a small snort, Yun Xi put her hand down by her side. She said quietly, “Brains are a good thing, and it’s a pity that neither you nor Mother have any.”

Not wanting to talk any more nonsense with her, Yun Xi turned around and went upstairs.

In her previous life, Grandfather Jiang had valued reputation the most, just the same as he did now.

If Jiang Henglin had dared to do such a thing as having an affair with his fiancee’s sister, the old man would have whipped him.

All Jiang Henglin had been doing was blatantly using Yun Ziling in order to humiliate Yun Xi.

Yet Yun Zuling hadn’t been able to see through this little trick of his, and her mother had actually believed that she could convince the Jiang family to help her. How ridiculous.

Her mother was being too c.o.c.ky.

Looks aren’t everything.

In this era, only Jingdu’s three n.o.ble families and the four great clans had the privilege of relying on their looks. Other people really couldn’t lean on their looks to get ahead.

Yun Ziling had vaguely grasped what Yun Xi was insinuating. Feeling resentful and enraged, she shouted up the stairs to her in jealousy, “Even so, he likes me more than you. What’s so great about you? You might not even get to marry into the Jiang family.”
