After chuckling to herself, Yun Xi put on a smiley face that covered up her true emotions. After saying hello to her second uncle and her second aunt, she looked at Liang Xiuqin, who had been glaring at her.
“Oh, Mom is back!” Yun Xi smiled, then turned to look at Yun Yuanfeng and asked meaningfully, “Dad, you agreed to let Mom e back? Has the situation with the Su family been resolved? Where’s Grandfather Feng? Have you given him a heads-up yet?”
Before Yun Yuanfeng could answer her, Liang Xiuqin stood up angrily.
“Wretched girl, what do you mean? You just can’t stand me ing back, can you? If you’re really so unhappy to see me, then go back to the countryside. Then I won’t have to see this eyesore, and you won’t be able to jinx me again.”
Seeing that her mother hadn’t changed her ways at all, Yun Xi sneered and felt amused.
After being banished from the house for a month, she hadn’t changed at all. She had thought that her mother would have been able to think things through while living outside for a month and try to be more low key. Now she realized that she had really overestimated her mother.
“Mom, I wasn’t even talking to you, so why are you so anxious? I don’t have any problem with you ing back, but we at least have to give the Feng family a heads-up. After all, they live in the same villa plex as we do so it’s inevitable that we will encounter them at some point. If Madame Feng is unwilling to let bygones be bygones, I’m afraid we’ll all have to live on the streets.”
“You…” Liang Xiuqin’s expression changed. From fear that he would really drive her out for this, she suddenly turned her head to look at Yun Yuanfeng.
After all, for her to be able to return to the villa plex, in addition to getting help from Liang Xinyi to resolve the crisis with the Su family, she had also needed Yun Yuanfeng to humble himself by pleading with the Feng family.
“Yun Xi, we’re all a family. Your mother and I aren’t divorced, so we can’t keep making her live outside the home. Others would think that our relationship has soured and that we’re going to divorce. It wouldn’t be good for any of us if people outside started to gossip.
Although Yun Yuanfeng had had the idea of divorcing her, it was the critical time of his promotion at the moment. Family harmony was also a criterion for judging personal qualities. Naturally, he wouldn’t burn bridges with Liang Xiuqin at this time.
Yun Yuanfeng felt it was his decision on when Liang Xiuqin returned. He would only ask Yun Xi if he wanted to be on her good side or he needed her for something.
With Yun Yuanfeng’s selfish temperament, it was impossible for him to care about Yun Xi’s feelings.
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and deliberately played dumb, asking, “So, what do you plan to do, Dad?”
“I heard that you’re tutoring the Feng family’s heiress. Can you tell them about your mother’s return? After all, we are a family, and no one would want a family to break up. I believe that Madame Feng is benevolent and won’t hold a grudge against us.”
He really couldn’t bear the humiliation of personally going to the Feng family to beg Madame Feng, and, even if he did, they might not give him the time of day.
But Yun Xi was different. She had a good relationship with the Feng family’s heiress. As long as the Feng family’s heiress was willing to put in a good word for her, Madame Feng definitely would oblige.
“Since it was Dad who agreed to let Mom e back, it would be more appropriate for Dad to talk to Madame Feng. It not only would show that you two have deep feelings for each other, but would also show that Dad feels apologetic about what Mom did. If Madame sees that Mom has repented and that Dad is sincere, she might let bygones be bygones.
Yun Xi calmly kicked the ball back to Yun Yuanfeng, as she turned to look at Liang Xiuqin, continuing to play dumb.
After all, she had been oppressed by her mother, and he still hoped for her to put in a good word for them. Her father was fooling himself.
But she was not that stupid and not that easy to manipulate.
Liang Xinyi wanted her mother to e back since it would benefit her and her schemes.
But she simply couldn’t let bygones be bygones.
They wanted to ask her for help, right? So how could there be no conditions?
“Yun Xi, you also know Madame Feng. Although she lives in the same villa plex as we do, she isn’t willing to see just anyone. Because of this incident with your mother, Madame would never willingly see us. You’re different since you can enter their house.”
