Liang Xiuqin realized that there was nothing more she could say to Yun Xi. Yun Xi had completely ignored her request for her to speak with Second Master Jiang.

As Liang Xiuqin scrambled to find some counterargument, Yun Ziling, who had been anxiously watching their exchange, reached out and pushed Liang Xiuqin aside. She spoke up for the first time.

The duo had made this long trip for one single purpose, and they would not be sent home without the purpose fulfilled.

“No, wait, that’s not what Mom meant, big sister!” Yun Ziling called out. “She meant to say that since you and Young Master Jiang are friends, he would be able to help if you asked, right?”

“So?” Yun Xi turned to Yun Ziling, a little surprised that Yun Ziling had brought her head with her when she’d left the house today. Yun Xi had figured that her short interlude of studying might have taught Yun Ziling some proper character, but she’d been wrong, and her younger sister was simply asking for more humiliation.

“I need your help with convincing Young Master Jiang. I accidentally offended my school principal, and I heard that Young Master Jiang’s aunt is a member of Jingdu High’s school board. If she could speak to the principal on my behalf, maybe my principal will let this go. You know, I have to take the national college entrance exams soon.” She paused to swallow her saliva. “If I am kicked out now, I lose all my chances of going to university. If you don’t help me, my future will be ruined.”

It was rather distasteful to ask others for help in such a demanding manner. Yun Xi’s stomach turned in disgust, and she worried that she might have lost her appetite.

The audacity of Yun Ziling to attach her lack of competency to enter a university to Yun Xi’s unwillingness to help… Yun Xi was amazed by the absurdity of this correlation.

Once again, Yun Xi had truly experienced what having no shame looked like from her biological mother and her biological sister.

She was always the one designated to clean up the messes that her mother and sister had made. It happened once, it happened twice, and it would happen for a third time.

However, Yun Xi had never been a carpet for anyone to walk on. If her mother and sister asked her as nicely as they possibly could, she would use this opportunity to let Jiang Chenghuan eliminate their hopes and dreams once and for all.

“You brought this on yourself, Yun Ziling. Why do I have to clean up after your mess?”

“You’re my sister, who else can I go to? Besides, I’m weak and wrought with sickness because of the curse you brought on the family. Shouldn’t you take responsibility?”

She had used the so-called misfortune Yun Xi had brought upon her as a source of hatred. She could scold, she could blame, and she could belittle her, yet it had all come to nothing. If it hadn’t been for the reminder from Liang Xiuqin to use this against Yun Xi and make her take responsibility, she would never have thought to turn her misfortune into an excuse.

Her heart disease had been predicted by Yun Xi’s unlucky stars. Why shouldn’t Yun Xi take responsibility?

Even if her heart disease was the fault of her mother for using the wrong medicine during her pregnancy, Yun Ziling was determined to use this as an excuse to get at Yun Xi.

Yun Xi raised her brows lightly in response, and her cold pupils studied Yun Ziling closely. These did not sound like words she had the brain cells to string together.

Her younger sister had delivered the words with the appropriate confidence and gusto. Moreover, her younger sister would not even call Yun Xi her sister at any other time. She was using her misfortune to try to make Yun Xi feel guilty and act for her.

Yun Xi wondered if she should give Yun Ziling praise for finally tapping into her mind in her approach to things, but she wondered if there had been someone else who had given her the tip to use her brain.

It seemed as if all the time spent away from the house had made her lose touch with what was happening within the Yun family.

“Sure, I can take responsibility if you’re ready to handle it, Yun Ziling.”

Yun Xi turned her frown into an innocent smile. “If I recall correctly, Young Master Jiang has a nephew who’s in the same school as you. I can introduce him to you if you would like…”

Yun Ziling’s eyes lit up as soon as Yun Xi had finished speaking. Pride shone on her features, and she looked like a thief who had just robbed a bank. Yun Xi thought that Yun Ziling needed a lesson or two on how to conceal her true emotions.

It seemed as if the trouble she had brewed for Yun Ziling at school had successfully given Liang Xiuqin a good scolding from Yun Yuanfeng and worsened their relationship, but now Yun Ziling wanted to use the opportunity to seek her help with the aunt of Jiang Chenghuan.

All this beating around the bush had been for Yun Xi to mention the nephew of Jiang Chenghuan and arrange for a meeting.. He had been the target of Yun Ziling and Liang Xiuqin all along.
