Chapter 126: What Reason Did She Have Not to Be Confident?

“Only if we can make Grandpa believe that she is the one who’s jinxed our family will he make that wretched girl go back to the countryside.”

Yun Ziling thought about it for a while,and then, suddenly thinking of something, her eyes lit up.

“Mom, should I pretend to be sick? Then I can say that she’s jinxed me.”

Although she hadn’t had a heart attack for a long time, she had lots of experience in pretending to be sick.

Liang Xiuqin glanced at Yun Ziling. “Do you think you can make your grandfather believe it?”

The old man was stubborn, and they knew that it wouldn’t be easy for him to change his mind.

“How can I know if I don’t try?” Yun Ziling smirked smugly, and her mind was filled with glee in antic.i.p.ation of that wretched girl Yun Xi being driven away by her.

“Well then, you go upstairs. Later on we’ll try it when your grandpa comes back from playing chess.”

Liang Xiuqin had no choice but to try this as a last resort.

“Wait! Mom, Dad seems to be putting a lot of hope on my sister recently. He keeps trying to get her to win over the Jiang family and the Chen family. That wretched girl framed us, and we haven’t even settled that matter yet. He definitely won’t be on our side.”

“Then let’s wait until that wretched girl settles matters with the Chen family. After that, we can deal with her.”

Having lost so much money and so many connections, Liang Xiuqin just wanted to get rid of the scourge.

She was certain that as soon as Yun Xi left, her good luck would come back, and there would be time for everything to start over again.

Liang Xinyi sat on the sidelines and dared not speak, but her mind couldn’t stop racing for even a moment.

If Yun Ziling and Liang Xiuqin’s plan succeeded and Yun Xi was driven back to the countryside, then the threat to her would also be dissolved.

But if Yun Xi wasn’t driven back to the countryside, then she must act first.

That wretched girl Yun Xi seemed particularly fired up recently and had not only become smarter, but also much more calculating.

If she doesn’t help drive her back to the countryside, then Yun Xi will somehow manage to send her back.

…

Encouraged by Liang Xiuqin, Yun Yuanfeng talked to Yun Xi as soon as he came back and asked her to visit the Chen family’s house as soon as possible.

Of course, Yun Xi knew that Yun Yuanfeng was anxious, but, knowing Yun Yuanfeng’s cautious disposition, it was uncharacteristic of him to be so shamelessly impatient.

Asking her to go to the Chen family’s house now, while she was in cla.s.s every day, was inappropriate and seemed desperate.

It would appear too pathetic. Going to the Chen family’s house would actually be embarra.s.sing. Yun Yuanfeng was a proud man and wouldn’t do such a stupid thing.

Upon thinking it over carefully, she reached the conclusion that there couldn’t possibly be anyone but her mother who’d caused such urgency.

Her mother was anxious for her to go to the Chen family’s house to intercede, but probably not because she was genuinely concerned that her father would be dragged down.

There was still quite a long period of time before the promotion election. The results would be the same no matter when she went, and it might not even yield results at all.

Yun Xi figured that from how anxious Liang Xiuqin seemed, she probably had another trap up her sleeve to try and play on her again.

Yun Xi glanced at Liang Xiuqin, who was standing over to the side with eagerness all over her face, and she promptly delayed the time to Sat.u.r.day on the grounds that she had to go to cla.s.s.

Liang Xiuqin showed immediate impatience that she would have to suffer for one more day.

Suppressing her rage, Liang Xiuqin snorted and said coldly, “It’s just to help your dad, and look how unwilling you are. You really take yourself too seriously. If you don’t want to help with this, what reason did we even have to even raise you?”

Yun Xi glanced at Liang Xiuqin nonchalantly and raised her gla.s.s of water to her mouth to conceal her smirk.

“I didn’t say I wouldn’t help. I’ll go there on Sat.u.r.day when I don’t have to go to cla.s.s. If I go to her home during cla.s.s time, that would seem way too desperate. I’m not afraid of humiliation, but if Old Madam Chen sees me shamelessly pleading for you guys during my cla.s.s time, she could get unhappy and kick me out. And then, you, mother, will personally have to plead with her.”

Since they were openly begging her, what reason did she have not to be confident?

Only in this way could she deal with her mother’s shallowness and malice…

Her mother could scheme against her, but she’ll have to deal with the consequences.

“You!” Liang Xiuqin’s nostrils flared and her eyes shot daggers at Yun Xi. “You are useless. If you can’t even do such a simple thing, why do you even bother staying here?”

“That’s enough! Enough of this nonsense!”

Yun Yuanfeng glared at Liang Xiuqin with displeasure. He was still depending on Yun Xi to help him settle this matter.

Liang Xiuqin was not only oblivious to what was going on, but now she was causing a ruckus. How annoying!

“Then Sat.u.r.day it shall be. Yun Xi, remember to take gifts when you go to their house. If you don’t have enough money, ask your mother.”

“Okay, Mom, you should give me some money now. I’m afraid that you might not be here when I decide to go on Sat.u.r.day. I can’t go if I have no money, and I’ll have to move back the date.”

Yun Xi didn’t hold back at all, and she blackmailed Liang Xiuqin for money right in front of Yun Yuanfeng.

Liang Xiuqin glared at Yun Xi angrily, but because Yun Yuanfeng was right there, she had no choice but to pay.
