Chapter 7: Up to No Good Again
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Old Madam Yun was taken aback. She did not expect Yun Xi to be so straightforward.
Old Madam Yun had always liked the capable eldest son’s family. She disliked her youngest son, Yun Shan, and naturally disliked her granddaughter, Yun Xi. She was more disgusted with Yun Xi especially after hearing from Yun Lian, who added fuel to the fire by claiming that Yun Xi had snatched the opportunity to go to school that originally belonged to Yun Lian.
Anyway, Old Madam Yun was not bothered whether Yun Xi was alive or dead, but she was afraid that it was her words that had forced this granddaughter of hers to death. Her youngest son might always seem easygoing and tolerant, but if she did something to his daughter... he and his wife would probably not let her off easily.
Moreover, the old man at home was most impartial. Even if she forced Yun Xi to death, he would not let her off.
“No, Yun Xi. That’s not what I meant.”
The old lady quickly explained herself.
“But…”
Yun Xi wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and sobbed softly. “Granny, didn’t you say that an abandoned wife like me would only bring shame to the family and shouldn’t live in this world…”
After saying this, Yun Xi cried even more bitterly.
Was she just pretending to be pitiful? Everyone could do that. In her previous life, Yun Xi had lived competitively and straightforwardly. That was why the things that originally belonged to him had always been snatched away by Yun Lian.
On the guest seat in the hall, Zhou Lin tapped on the table with his index finger. An imperceptible trace of playfulness flashed across his calm black pupils. He had actually started to develop an interest in Yun Xi, who was sitting on the ground and crying her eyes out.
Yun Xi and Yun Lian were born from the same mother and were a pair of twins. There was an 80% similarity in their appearances.
If one were to ask about the remaining 20%, it was their eyes that made them look different.
Yun Xi had a pair of almond-shaped eyes, which looked harmless. At this moment, Yun Xi’s eyes were misty like a pool of water, intoxicating and adorable.
Yun Lian’s eyes were exactly the opposite of Yun Xi’s. She was born with a pair of slanted phoenix eyes. Her eyes were long and slender. In the blink of an eye, she revealed the charm of a vixen’s eyes. Yun Lian’s eyes looked very much like that of the old lady at home. This was why the old lady especially doted on Yun Lian.
At this moment, the old lady was mumbling, but she did not know what to say.
“Granny, don’t criticize Sister like that. Although Sister has done something wrong, she doesn’t deserve to die.”
Yun Lian, who had been in the corner, quickly ran to the old lady. Although she was pleading on behalf of Yun Xi, every word she said meant to belittle Yun Xi. What a glib tongue she had.
In her previous life, Yun Xi had not been able to personally expose Yun Lian’s true colors. In this life, she would definitely make her pay in blood.
Yun Lian went over to support the old lady on the surface, but in reality, she was reminding the old lady to quickly change the topic.
“Old Man, I’m not forcing our granddaughter to death. If we let her go out now, it’ll ruin the Yun family’s reputation. Why don’t we let her stay at home for a few days to hide from the limelight?”
The old lady patted the back of Yun Lian’s hand and changed the topic abruptly. “In that case, we shall let Yun Lian replace Yun Xi to go to school.”
Ha! The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))
Yun Xi laughed coldly in her heart. It seemed that this Yun Lian had not given up on the opportunity to study!
This time, Yun Xi would not give in. If Yun Lian was trying to fight for the opportunity, she could dream on.
Yun Xi wiped the tears from her face and slowly rose to her feet.
“Grandpa, if Sister wants the opportunity to study, I’ll give it to her and choose not to study. I’m totally fine.”
Sometimes, going head-on was definitely not a good way to solve a problem. Retreating was a better way to advance.
Yun Xi knew Old Master Yun the most. As the most impartial person, he would not allow bullying to happen. If Old Master Yun had not been putting his illness aside and taking charge of the family, his youngest son’s family might have already taken control over the other two families.
Old Master Yun would definitely stand up for her.
“Old Man, since Yun Xi has already said so, the opportunity to study…”
“Enough!”
Old Madam Yun had not finished speaking when Old Master Yun angrily rapped the ground with his walking stick. He uttered a dull sound.
“The opportunity belongs to whoever deserves it. Yun Lian didn’t get it, so she can only blame herself for being incompetent. Stop arguing!”
Yun Xi took the opportunity to walk up to Yun Lian and said in an audible voice, “Sister, you won’t blame me, right?”
Yun Lian smiled hypocritically at everyone and shook her head gently.
Yun Xi leaned over Yun Lian’s ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Don’t worry, you’ll definitely lose more than a chance to study.”
“You!”
Yun Lian was furious, but she could only maintain her friendly image on the surface, given that the Zhou family was still around.
