Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten (Book 1)

76-80

However, as it was just to buy medicine, Yun Xi refused to accept such an exorbitant amount of money.

Chen Yichen didn't waste any time talking with her about it either. He took out his card and told her to choose between the card and the cash.

"Little Yun Xi, you have to choose one of these two. If you don't want the cash, then take my card."

"I'm not your wife. Why would you give me your card?"

Yun Xi rolled her eyes at him. She didn't know whether he was too trusting or simply wasn't thinking too much about it. How could he give out his card so nonchalantly?

How could Jiang Wanyun not guess what he was up to upon seeing her son using both threats and temptations?

She liked Yun Xi, and she wouldn't mind having a daughter-in-law.

After she took the cash, Jiang Wanyun patted her on the shoulder. "Yun Xi, please just take it. If we had to entrust someone else with buying the medicine, the human, material, and financial resources spent might end up being more than this."

"Okay!" Since she knew she would return whatever money she didn't spend after buying the medicine, it was essentially the same thing.

Upon seeing her agree, Chen Yichen raised his hand and rubbed her head. "Good! I have to go back to work. You can stay and chat with my mother."

Yun Xi looked dazed as she touched her disheveled hair.

Why does everyone like to pat her head as if she was a dog?

...

As soon as Yun Ziling returned home, she started crying her eyes out and threw the unwanted gifts on the sofa.

Upon hearing the noise, Liang Xiuqin came downstairs and hurriedly ran to her as soon as she saw her baby girl sobbing.

"What happened? What happened? Did that wretched girl Yun Xi bully you again?"

"Mom! That wretched girl Yun Xi lied to us. The eldest son doesn't like this brand of racket at all. Madam Chen didn't even look at her scarf. She not only made you spend so much money, but she also made me accidentally smash Mrs. Chen's vase. Mrs. Chen kicked me out before I even had the chance to enter their house."

"Don't cry, don't cry!" Liang Xiuqin coaxed her while wiping away her tears. "Where is that wretched girl?"

She was pained that she had had to spend more than 3,000 yuan, and they had removed all the labels so the stuff couldn't even be returned.

It means that they hadn't gotten any favors, and 3,000 yuan had gone down the drain.

"Mrs. Chen made her stay for lunch, but kicked me out. I went to their house on behalf of the Yun family, but the wretched girl didn't help me at all and watched me get kicked out. I have suffered a complete embarrassment! She's not worthy of being my sister. How heartless of her. She has no concern for the Yun family at all, only herself."

"How dare that wretched girl treat you like that and bring shame on the Yun family like this! Just wait till she gets back. I'll break her legs! What a jinx, how useless."

Liang Xiuqin became more and more annoyed the more she thought about it. This wretched girl was exploiting the fact that the Chen family was indebted to her, and she was no longer taking her own family seriously.

Secretly, Liang Xinyi was taking delight in Yun Ziling having been embarrassed and decided to fuel the flame.

"Auntie, clearly that wretched girl Yun Xi deliberately made things difficult for Ziling because she wanted to intimidate you. If you don't stop her now, she won't ever take you seriously once she has the backing of both the Chen family and the Jiang family. Ziling is beautiful, so marrying into the Chen family shouldn't be a problem at all. If Yun Xi has meddled in this matter and ruined things between Ziling and their eldest son, then it's all going to be too late."
