Chapter 1275: Spewing Nonsense

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After a few days of anxious waiting without hearing any news from Yun Xi, Liang Xiuqin and Yun Ziling thought that she had forgotten about them. Just as they were about to head off to accost her at the gates of Beijing University again, the guard manning the gates to their residential compound brought an intricate envelope to them.

Liang Xiuqin hurriedly tore it open in front of the guard. Inside were two invitation cards. Clearly written on the cards, the host sponsoring the event was none other than the Jiang family of Longchuan.

Upon seeing the invitation that had been sent by the Jiangs, Liang Xiuqin instantly raised her head with undisguised surprise and blurted out inquisitively to the guard, “Who was the person that brought the invitation? Where is he now? It might be someone from the Jiang family. We really should acknowledge the Jiangs.”

Liang Xiuqin’s obsequious behavior received an eye roll from the guard, who said, “He just put down the envelope and left. If you have any issues concerning that, contact him yourself. I still have to drop off another envelope at the Fengs.”

Liang Xiuqin glanced at the envelope in his hand. It was the same one she had just received. Oblivious to the guard’s unfriendly attitude, she asked again, “They invited the Fengs too?”

The guard nodded, “Appears so.”

Liang Xiuqin was about to say something, but just then her neighbor, Madame Zhang, came out of her house. She saw Liang Xiuqin talking to the guard, so she stopped to see what all the excitement was about.

“To receive an invitation along with the Fengs to an event hosted by the Jiangs is truly an honor for our Yun family, and especially for our dear Ziling too.”

A sudden thought had come to her mind as Liang Xiuqin specifically mentioned Yun Ziling’s name out loud. After all, now that they had received this invitation, nobody could dare to doubt their family’s relationship with the Jiangs ever again.

If they had been truly unacquainted, would someone come all the way over to the residences to deliver an invitation to them?

It was a great opportunity to show off. Not only would it allow Yun Ziling to gain higher status, but it was also the perfect chance to let everyone know that they shared a great relationship with the Jiangs. No one would ever be able to look down on them again. Since that annoying Yun Xi was not around, she could say whatever she wanted and get away with it.

Madame Zhang looked curiously at the invitation in Liang Xiuqin’s hand. Before she could figure out what was going on, she heard the guard say bluntly, “In this entire neighborhood, no one else but your household and the Fengs received this invitation. What an honor it is to the Yuns.”

“Well, of course! Our family…our Ziling and the second son of the Jiangs are well acquainted. Having more friends means more connections. The Jiangs are a prestigious family, and it’s true that not everyone can be acquainted with them.”

The guard sneered mockingly. Without saying another word, he turned around and left.

Bragging away, Liang Xiuqin took the chance to show off the invitation to the gushing and envious Madame Zhang, who had come over to stand beside her.

At first, Madame Zhang did not believe that the Jiangs would actually invite this class act of a mother and daughter. If anyone were to be invited, it should have been Yun Xi. To her surprise, the invitation was undoubtedly addressed to them with their names clearly stated.

“I heard that you and your daughter had just offended the Second Young Master of the Jiangs. I’m surprised that they still invited the two of you to their banquet. Are you sure it wasn’t supposed to be addressed to Yun Xi instead? The two of you better not bring more shame to the Yun name.”

Liang Xiuqin could clearly hear the insults coming out of Madame Zhang’s mouth. But the fact that she was able to make the woman feel such spite and jealousy, Liang Xiuqin was not the least bit bothered.

“Just because some people can’t have grapes, they’ll insist that the grapes are sour. The invitation clearly states Ziling’s name and mine, and you’re acting so blind, saying that perhaps it should have been addressed to that darned Yun Xi instead? How much money did that little skank pay you to make you spew out such nonsense for her anyway?”

Exasperated by her scathing, vulgar remark, Madame Zhang chuckled mockingly and retorted, “You’re hilarious! Everyone in the entire neighborhood knows that the only respectable one in your family is Yun Xi. Every single time you and that daughter of yours make a mess of things, Yun Xi is always the one cleaning it up for you. Could you be any more shameless?”

“So what, I’m her mother. That’s what she should be doing anyway. The rest of you can be jealous and hate me for all I care.”

Madame Zhang could not stand the sight of the shameless Liang Xiuqin a second longer, so she snorted coldly and went back into her house.
