On the way back ho, Yun Xi and Zhao Yumo rode in Jiang Chenghuan’s car. This ordeal today had really blown up. Actually, the one who had been hurt the most was Yun Xi’s soft, kind-hearted uncle.
However, if they hadn’t done this, he would never have been able to see through Chen Lixue’s facade.
What should be done next was up to the adults. Yun Xi didn’t worry that anything outside of her expectations would happen.
Right now, Yun Xi’s second aunt was in charge of the Yun family, and she was completely in accord with the will of her second aunt.
“Yun Xi, what are you planning to do next?” Zhao Yumo was worried that what had happened today was going to affect Yun Xi’s mood. She was thinking of trying to help her co up with solutions.
“No worries. My dad isn’t a kid. He knows that he did sothing wrong, and he has to take responsibility for his own actions.”
A man who couldn’t control the lower half of his body... What great things could he do?
“Well, what if your parents really get divorced? That aunt of yours doesn’t look like a kind person, no matter how I look at her.”
“Hee, hee, hee, I’ve never taken people on their level seriously. I just feel bad because my uncle...”
When she ntioned her innocent uncle, Yun Xi raised her head to look at Jiang Chenghuan in the driver’s seat, and she said, “Second Master Jiang, since my uncle was invited to attend this conference in Jingdu, were the people there intending to promote him?”
Typically, if they had the connections, those who were chosen to attend the Representatives Conference wouldn’t have a hard ti rising up the ranks.
Jiang Chenghuan looked at her in his rear-view mirror and nodded slightly, “They did have that intention. Your uncle has a decent political track record in the countryside. All he lacked was a network and connections. If you want him to be shifted over to Jingdu, I can get soone to arrange it. Anything not to spoil your plan.”
“All right, understood,” Yun Xi replied. Regardless of whether Uncle and Aunt were going to divorce, even if Uncle shifted over to Jingdu, his official position wouldn’t be higher than Yun Yuanfeng’s.
With Chen Lixue’s ego, she would never reconcile herself to give up on contending for the place as the wife of a director, even if she beca the spouse of a small official.
There were way too many temptations in Yun Yuanfeng’s position as a director. With Chen Lixue’s background and status, it was impossible for her to enter the Yun family. In the end, all of her efforts were going to go to waste, and she would end up failing to please anybody.
...
It was still early when Yun Xi got back ho. Yao Ying was a little startled when she saw Yun Xi coming back so early in the morning, carrying her backpack. She looked behind Yun Xi, only to see that there were no others returning with her, so she hurriedly ca forward.
“Yun Xi, weren’t you guys supposed to be coming back tomorrow night? How co you are back so early? What happened?”
Yun Xi told her Second Aunt what had happened that morning. She didn’t tell her about Liang Xinyi drugging Yun Yuanfeng, but Yao Ying’s expression turned ugly after hearing about the story.
After all, this was a family scandal. If it beca known by outsiders, it would be imnsely shaful for the Yun family.
“What a disgrace! How could Brother do sothing like this, and that aunt of yours... Absolutely shaless!”
“Don’t tell Grandpa about this. It would seriously upset him. Besides, I don’t think my father could handle such humiliation either.”
“I know. Wait till they co back. We’ll see how they have chosen to handle this whole thing.”
Yun Xi roughly knew how Yun Yuanfeng would deal with such a thing.
As she expected, when Yun Yuanfeng ca back, Liang Xiuqin and Chen Lixue ca back as well. The mont Chen Lixue ca back, she was chased upstairs to pack up her belongings.
Yun Xi looked at Yun Yuanfeng, who had already bandaged his wounds, as she ca downstairs. She asked, “Dad, where’s Uncle? Why didn’t he co over?”
“Your uncle ca to Jingdu for a conference. He has a place to stay.”
“Oh, then what about Aunt? Is she moving out?”
“Erm, she’ll be able to take better care of your cousin for the high school graduation exams by moving out,” Yun Yuanfeng muttered, obviously exhausted. Of course, he’d paid a hefty price to reach such a compromise in the end.
“Move to where? It’s not easy to find a house in such a hurry, right?”
“I got soone to rent a house for them to stay in temporarily. Yun Xi, don’t tell Grandpa about this.”
“I understand.” Yun Xi nodded. All of these arrangents were within her expectations.
