Chapter 347: Chase Her Away!
Translator: LonelytreeEditor: Millman97
Every member of the Xi family was person of importance. The fact that most of them had to beg her to stay greatly soothed her inflated ego. She knew where to draw the line; plus, for the sake of future plans, she couldn't cross the Xi family outright.
”Grandfather Xi, Auntie, and Uncles, since you've said so then it would seem inappropriate for me to leave just that that. However, how could a junior like me trouble auntie and uncles to accompany me? Since Big Brother Xi is busy, how about asking that lady to accompany me,” Lin Yun smiled as she turned towards Xinghe.
Xinghe raised her eyes slowly, she was rather bewildered as to why she'd been drawn into this political song and dance. Mubai darkened his eyes instantly. Even Grandfather Xi paused for a moment…
Lin Yun took in the shift in their expression and proffered an innocent smile like she didn't know any better. ”This lady looks like an old friend of mine, so I would like to spend some time with her. Of course, between her and Big Brother Xi, I don't mind either one.”
Lin Yun was purposely putting them in a tough spot. Since Mubai didn't give her face first, then she was going to target the woman that he seemed to care about. If the Xi family dared to reject her again, then she would have more than enough reason to not be decorous anymore.
The whole Xi family knew she was purposely giving them a hard time. If this was before, no one would've dared treat them this way. However, they needed her help so they had to accept being bossed around by a little girl.
Grandfather Xi's face was drawn but eventually he suggested solemnly, ”Xinghe, since Xiao Yun appears to have a liking for you, why don't you spend a day with her?”
”That's right, Xinghe. Since Mubai is not free, why don't you accompany Xiao Yun on his behalf?” Mrs. Xi urged, the hint couldn't be more obvious.
This was make or break for the Xi family and they desperately needed Xinghe's cooperation.
