Yun Yuanfeng racked his brains, but he still could not think of anyone else who could help him.
“Then, what about the Mu family? Although the Young Commander isn’t around, with your status, they would be willing to help out for the sake of the Young Commander, right?!”
“My status?” Yun Xi couldn’t help but let out a mocking sneer. “What status do I have?”
“Obviously, your status as the future young mistress of the Mu family!”
“The future young mistress? Has the Mu family even paid for my betrothal? Have they even publicly declared that I am their future young mistress?”
Yun Yuanfeng was taken aback for a mont. The Mu family indeed had not said a word regarding this, which he had to admit he never gave much thought to before.
“B-But haven’t you shared als with them before? Didn’t they seem to like you? As long as you say the word, even if not for your sake, I’m sure they’d be willing to help for the sake of the Young Commander!”
“Dad, you’re so naive! The wealthy would never do anything that doesn’t benefit them. Given that the Young Commander is not around, they wouldn’t dare to help even if they could. Mu Feichi has never liked others making decisions for him. If they offered to help without first obtaining his permission, forget about getting his thanks, they’d have to face the consequences when he cos back! But if any of them were to foolishly agree, then try to go after the Young Commander for a reward of so sort for their kind gesture, we may just infuriate him. If that happens, forget , our entire family might have to move out of the military region residences. Those in the Mu family know him better than you. Do you think they would risk offending the head of their family for your sake? Perhaps you should weigh the pros and cons of this bright idea!”
“What about the Jiang family? Grandpa Jiang has always had a soft spot for you ever since you were a kid. Maybe you can seek him out for help!”
“That may be true, but the engagent has been called off. Why should Grandpa Jiang help now? If I were to seek out Grandpa Jiang’s help, why don’t I just ask my grandpa? Grandpa and Grandpa Jiang are old comrades in arms after all!”
Yun Yuanfeng did not even dare think about asking for help from his old man, especially not after today’s incident! The old man was not particularly pleased that he wanted to marry Lin Shuhua in the first place, and now that he had humiliated the entire Yun family, he should be ever so thankful that his old man did not get a stroke because of him!
“At the end of the day, you’re just not going to help , are you? I’m your father. Are you just going to watch lose my title? If I lose this job, what will you eat or wear? I slaved myself away to bring you up, and this is how you repay ?! You refuse to help when you should be offering your assistance! What’s the use of raising you?”
Yun Xi rejected all the solutions he could think of, so obviously, Yun Yuanfeng was already annoyed, and he vented all his anger on Yun Xi right then. Hearing such shaless words coming out of Yun Yuanfeng’s mouth made Yun Xi lose her temper.
With a loud bang, she slamd the glass cup in her hand on the glass table. The sharp crash made it clear how furious she was.
“When did I ever refuse to help you? You humiliated with your ss, and did I even say a word about it? Lin Shuhua made you look like a complete fool for cheating on you, yet you were so determined to have a wedding. I warned you and persuaded you long ago, but you refused to listen, so what can I even do? If there was no wedding, and this matter was resolved in private, would we even be in such a ss?”
She stood up suddenly and glared coldly at the feeble Yun Yuanfeng, too tired to maintain her composure.
“Also, it has always been Grandfather who raised for all these years. When have you ever taken part in raising ? If I hadn’t been of use to you, would you have even agreed to let co back to Jingdu? You listen to , Yun Yuanfeng. The only person who can save you now is , and if you get on my last nerve, I could leave you with nothing even if that ans I’ll be holess!”
“You ungrateful girl! Is this the way to talk to your father?! I’m your father, and I’ll always be for the rest of your life! You were born and raised so that you can repay . Don’t think for a second that you’re a free bird just because you’ve got wings now. No matter what, I’m still your father. Even if I choose to use you, that is my god-given right!”
Yun Yuanfeng’s final words completely killed off the last shred of kindness Yun Xi had left for him.
