Chapter 523 - A Pigheaded Teammate Was Born to Drag Her Mother Down


Chapter 523: A Pigheaded Teammate Was Born to Drag Her Mother Down

Early in the morning, when it was breakfast time at the Yun family house, Yun Xi changed into a casual outfit to make it seem as if she had gone for a morning jog and then went down the mountain.

After going upstairs to change, she stepped into the dining room, where, just as she’d expected, the atmosphere was quite tense.

Chen Lixue’s face seemed characteristic of a mistress who had taken the lead. She appeared especially smug.

On the other hand, Liang Xiuqin looked haggard and had dark circles under her eyes. She looked like a panda. Since Chen Lixue had moved in, Liang Xiuqin probably wasn’t sleeping well at night.

Upon seeing Yun Xi coming back from her morning jog, Liang Xiuqin looked at her with daggers shooting from her eyes. Her eyes appeared especially venomous as she glared at her.

Had it not been for that wretched girl who had decided to let Chen Lixue stay, she wouldn’t have to be so worried.

If Chen Lixue and Yun Yuanfeng really rekindled the flames some day, she would never let that scourge off the hook.

“Mom, didn’t you sleep well last night?” Yun Xi asked as she took a bite of the steamed dumplings.

It would’ve been all right if she hadn’t said anything, but, after she’d asked, everyone at the table looked at Liang Xiuqin.

Liang Xiuqin’s face turned pale, and, just as she was about to scold her daughter, Yun Xi spoke first, “Mom, didn’t you sleep all night because aunt moved in? Aunt is your sister, so why do you hate her so much?”

Her words were obviously intended to fuel the fire.

Regardless of whether Liang Xiuqin had had that thought, now, since Yun Xi had stated it so clearly, even if she didn’t hate her sister, everyone would think that she did.

Sure enough, as soon as Yun Xi had finished speaking, Liang Xiuqin slammed down her chopsticks.

“Shut up! With you blabbering so much nonsense, how can I eat properly?”

Since Liang Xiuqin had become angry, she was basically admitting to it.

Chen Lixue was secretly gratified, but her face still appeared aggrieved. “Since Xiuqin has lived in the city for such a long time, she looks down on her poor relatives from the countryside…”

Liang Xiuqin snorted coldly and looked at Chen Lixue mockingly. “Whether I sleep well or not has nothing to do with you. I am the host, and you are the guest. Don’t be such a drama queen.”

Yun Xi chuckled. Today, her mother had applied what she had learned the day before, using the same words that Yun Xi had used to give Chen Lixue a slap in the face yesterday.

She had deliberately emphasized the difference between the host and the guest, just to let Chen Lixue know her place clearly, so she wouldn’t try to boss her around as her aunt.

Now her words were being used by Liang Xiuqin to give Chen Lixue another slap in the face, so no doubt Chen Lixue would feel resentment.

That was good. It saved her the effort of adding fuel to the fire.

“Sister, how can you slander our mother in front of an outsider?! Even if she was the aunt who brought you up, this is our mother. You don’t defend our mother, but defend an outsider instead. How outrageous!”

“I didn’t defend my aunt. Didn’t Mom say that it had nothing to do with aunt? You’re basically implying that Mom was deliberately targeting our aunt.”

“Shut up, all of you!” Liang Xiuqin glared at Yun Xi, then turned her head and kicked Yun Ziling to stop her from continuing the discussion.

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows. A pig-headed teammate like Yun Ziling was born to drag her mother down.

After breakfast, Yun Xi asked the housekeeper to help her keep an eye on the activities in the house.

With her second aunt at home, she wasn’t too worried.

No matter how much of a ruckus they caused, she still had the damaging evidence in her hands, so she wasn’t afraid that they couldn’t be dealt with.

On Tianyu Mountain, Yun Xi got out of the car and saw Mu Feichi coming out of Mu Mansion, with Great White walking along beside him.

Mu Feichi was dressed in a military-looking green wool coat, a black sweater, black trousers, Martin boots, and a black backpack on his right shoulder. He looked suave and handsome.

Unlike those business people who drag a troublesome suitcase after them while traveling, his appearance had the style of a soldier out on a mission.
