Chapter 288: What Right Do You Have to Make Fun of Me?

“It was bad enough that you couldn’t get any help from the Jiang family, but now you’re blaming Yun Xi. She was at dinner with the entire Chen family. If she had said anything about my needing help in front of all those people, not only she, but the entire Yun family, would have been humiliated!”

“Then what is she gloating about? She started blabbering as soon as she got home. She’s done nothing to help us.”

“You shut up!” Yun Yuanfeng was on edge.

What had happened with Yun Xi and the Chen family today had been a rare opportunity, yet Yun Xi really couldn’t have said anything.

Liang Xiuqin had gotten in touch with the Jiang family, but they simply wouldn’t help.

What was Yun Yuanfeng going to do now?

Yun Xi watched with an innocent expression as her mother dug her own grave. Then she added nonchalantly, “Today, the heir of the Jiang family was also at the luncheon.”

“The heir of the Jiang family…”

Yun Yuanfeng shuddered with envy. He couldn’t believe that all these people he had never had the honor to meet had all been gathered together for one meal.

“Did you talk to him a lot…?”

We’re talking about the heir of the Jiang family, a truly glorious status!

If they ever managed to social climb, the Yun family’s status in Jingdu could be different in the future.

“We talked a little bit. He’d come to accompany the old Madame for a meal. It seems that he has a close relationship with her. The old Madame treats him as if he were her own child.”

Yun Xi picked the most unimportant details to talk about. She said, “I was simply dragged there by the Eldest Heir. I was purely an outsider, so of course the heir didn’t take me very seriously.”

Yun Yuanfeng sighed with disappointment. At this moment, he felt really helpless.

“How about…? Yun Xi, do you think you could go to the Chen family’s house to ask them for help privately. Doesn’t old Madame Chen like you very much? You could ask her to relay a message to Mr. Chen…”

“I’m not sure whether Madame Chen will help, since, after all, they really aren’t indebted to us any longer. Also, the vase that Yun Ziling broke last time she was there has never been compensated for.”

At the mention of this, Liang Xiuqin’s face suddenly soured.

“The incident with the vase was all your fault. Why should Ziling take responsibility for your mistakes? Besides, in terms of the compensation, couldn’t it be resolved if you put in a word with Madame Chen? I think you choose to use this issue to embarrass our family. Are you even a member of the Yun family anymore? Why have you become so treacherous?”

“You shut up!” Yun Yuanfeng couldn’t dare to allow her to offend Yun Xi now.

Liang Xiuqin’s brainless words gave him an enormous headache.

He had never seen anyone as stupid as she was.

It was fine if she didn’t like their eldest daughter. However, she kept making trouble for him because of it.

She was beyond stupid.

“Dad, I’ll try my best to plead with Madame Chen, but I can’t guarantee that she’ll help. I can only try.”

Since she’d mentioned that several gentlemen from the Chen family had been present, her father couldn’t have expected her to intervene on his behalf. Moreover, she’d never promised to go to the Chen family to intercede.

Compared with her mother’s self-confidence over the Jiang family helping him, thus giving him false hope, only to disappoint him, Yun Xi had been more than kind enough.

When the time came, even if she couldn’t help, her father wouldn’t dare blame her.

That’s right, her dad was a person who bullied the weak, feared the strong, and tried to suck up to the powerful.

“Okay, as soon as possible… They are going to start the investigation next Wednesday.”

“All right! I will go to the Chen family’s house after school tomorrow.” Yun Xi raised her head nonchalantly and said, “If there’s nothing else, I will go upstairs now.”

“Go then.”

On her way upstairs, Yun Xi noticed Yun Ziling, who was standing by the railing of the stairs on the second floor. She scrutinized the enraged and envious look on Yun Ziling’s face.

“When you went to the Jiang’s house today, did you finally see clearly that you actually mean nothing to Jiang Henglin?”

Yun Ziling’s eyes suddenly got red. She glared at Yun Xi with gritted teeth.

“Wretched girl, you shut up! What right do you have to make fun of me?”

She had gone to the Jiang family’s house today. Although she’d seen him, Jiang Henglin had made clear that he didn’t intend to help her. He had told her to consider his position.

No matter how stupid Yun Ziling was, she could tell that he was passing the buck at this time when he was their only hope.

If he didn’t help, who else could they go to?

She’d originally thought that he would definitely help her with something so easy for him to do. She had not expected him to not care about them at all.

Although he’d used the excuse of family loyalty, it was obvious that he didn’t want to get wrapped up in such a messy affair.
