Chapter 379 - Cutting Off an Enemys Options Without Giving Him a Chance to Strike (1/2)

“You must have suffered because of this willful rascal, didn’t you?”

Although he didn’t know who had resolved the matter, they were at fault for not being helpful enough.

“I haven’t suffered at all. Don’t worry, Grandpa Jiang. We have turned over a new leaf, so you don’t have to force Second Master Jiang to apologize to me.”

Yun Xi smiled airily, and her magnanimous words emphasized her gracefulness as a lady.

Regarding this matter, she had neither gone to the Jiang family for help, nor did she blame the Jiang family for not helping. She held no grudge against Jiang Henglin.

She appeared as calm and nonchalant as usual, as if she hadn’t taken this matter to heart at all.

Grandfather Jiang was very satisfied with her att.i.tude. Yun Xi knew how to deal with all kind of issues publicly and was far more intelligent and well-mannered than her mother.

However, to Jiang Henglin, her response seemed like a pretentious attempt to garner sympathy.

He looked at her with even more contempt in his eyes.

On the other hand, Jiang Chenghuan would be glad to see the two of them fall out, since it would definitely be impossible for them to become husband and wife in the future. At the same time, Young Marshal Mu would lose a rival.

A new leaf had been turned over in Yun Yuanfeng’s embezzlement scandal, and Yun Xi wouldn’t talk about it any further in the Chen family’s house. She was certain that everyone probably already knew about it anyway.

Since she hadn’t gone to the Chen family to ask for help, the people in the Chen family figured that either they had had the ability to solve it by themselves or they had used another connection so they hadn’t been in need of their intervention.

Being asked in the presence of so many people to apologize to a girl who had gone to people’s doors asking for help, Jiang Henglin couldn’t do it. He had no desire to apologize.

“Yun Xi, I have something to tell you. Can you come outside with me?”

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Henglin with a half-hearted smile. “Why, does Second Young Master Jiang want to apologize to me? If you want to apologize, then just do it directly. There’s no need to hide. All the people here are your relatives. There’s nothing to be embarra.s.sed about.”

Upon being provoked by her, Jiang Henglin, who hadn’t planned on apologizing in the first place, grew more sullen.

“Who wants to apologize to you? How do you think you’re owed an apology from a young master like me?”

It would have been all right if he hadn’t opened his mouth, but as soon as he spoke, he fell directly into the trap that Yun Xi had dug for him.

“Since it’s not an apology, we have nothing to say.”

“You…” Jiang Henglin clenched his fists and glared at Yun Xi viciously. He was fuming with rage.

“What…you? How dare you talk to Yun Xi like that? It’s already bad enough that you won’t apologize. What’s with your stuck-up att.i.tude?”

Grandfather Jiang had a violent temper. Upon seeing that the grandson he had raised was being so rude, he really wanted to take out a whip.
