Before Yun Xi went home, she called the family’s housekeeper and asked if her father had any entertaining for business that day.
If he had to entertain for his business, she would return later. If he had no entertaining to do, she would return on time.
This was because, if her father wasn’t at home, she would have to deal with her mother, and she really wasn’t in the mood for that.
Moreover, if her dad wasn’t home, this whole production wouldn’t be as gratifying, watching her mother’s humiliation.
However, there was going to be a good show waiting for her when she returned home today.
Liang Xinyi was still being detained at the police station, and, knowing her mother’s temperament, she probably wasn’t going to feel satisfied until she had stirred up a ruckus.
The housekeeper told Yun Xi that Yun Yuanfeng did not have any entertaining to do and would be home for dinner.
However, the housekeeper also remarked that Yun Xi’s mother didn’t look good when she got home, and Yun Xi reminded herself to be wary.
After Yun Xi had hung up the phone, she took a leisurely stroll home. The scenery was breathtaking, and, at dusk, Jingdu was shrouded in the bright light of sunset and looked as if it had been covered in a layer of gold.
Liang Xinyi getting expelled from Jing High School was the first step in Yun Xi’s grand scheme.
With her grades and the expulsion, she wouldn’t be able to be admitted to a first-class university in Jingdu.
If she couldn’t get into Jing University or get the chance to study abroad, it would be impossible for her to squeeze into upper-class society.
The only way she could possibly get into society was if she was extremely resourceful and became acquainted with society’s heirs and heiresses.
However, she had no status and no distinguished family background, so even if she did manage to squeeze her way in, she still would be looked down upon.
Without mutual aligned interests, her social network would crumble easily.
She’d tried her best to befriend officials and wealthy socialites just as Yun Xi’s mother had, simply for the sake of securing a good marriage for Yun Ziling.
But in the end, a few gimmicks by Yun Xi had made all those socialites ostracize her mother.
All her years of hardcore networking had all gone down the drain.
Now, Yun Xi had basically broken Liang Xinyi’s leg. It was going to be harder and harder for her to climb up the social ladder.
After severing Liang Xinyi’s chances to succeed, Yun Ziling would be next.
As soon as Yun Xi stepped into the living room, Liang Xiuqin saw her and grabbed an ashtray from the table and flung it at her.
“Wretched girl, you actually have the guts to come back here!”
Yun Xi agilely dodged the ashtray that her mother had flung at her and plastered an aggrieved expression on her face.
“Mom, what are you doing? What did I do wrong now?”
“Let me ask you, did you get your cousin sent to the police station? Why are you so intolerant toward her? Going to jail is equivalent to having a criminal record, and she will be ruined for the rest of her life! Why are you so cruel?”
“Mom, what does my cousin committing the crime of stealing have to do with me? This matter was handled by the police. They can’t arrest people without evidence, right?”
“Bullsh*t! As if it isn’t all your fault! If it wasn’t for you, she wouldn’t have been caught.”
Yun Xi was really amused by her mother’s outrageous reasoning. Her mother’s self-righteous demeanor also really made her want to burst out laughing.
However, in order to create the right vibe, she cleverly concealed the emotions that she felt.
Since her mother felt so indignant over Liang Xinyi suffering injustice, she would blow up the matter in front of Yun Xi’s father.
Only when the matter was blown up would the charade become more entertaining.
“Mom, if you don’t understand the situation, you can go to the police station to find out more. Liang Xinyi was instructed by others to steal public property from school and was arrested by the police before she could incriminate and frame me. What does this have to do with me? I’m the victim. But instead of comforting me, you defend the culprit Liang Xinyi. What sort of mother are you?”
“If it weren’t for you, she wouldn’t have been so unlucky! She is your cousin, so how can you be so vindictive? Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?”
“If I had been successfully framed by Liang Xinyi today, I would be the one in the police station. Would you, my own mother, also feel that Liang Xinyi’s conscience had been eaten by a dog? Or would you think that she did the right thing? If I had been detained in the police station, my future would also have been ruined. Do you think the Jiang family would want a daughter-in-law who has a notorious reputation involving being detained at a police station?”
“That would be your own fault so you would deserve it! Your cousin has always been well-behaved. You must have done something to hurt her…”
“Enough! Shut up!” Yun Yuanfeng felt his forehead twitching from hearing them fight and turned to Liang Xiuqin and roared at her.
