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

376-380

Before Liang Xiuqin even finished speaking, Yun Xi couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Mom, there is no proof. So how can you talk such nonsense?"

"The Feng family's Young Master gave you such an expensive gift for your birthday. Why couldn't it be true?"

"Did he? How can you be so sure that he himself gave the gift to me and wasn't just handing me something someone else gave me?"

"He is the young master of the Feng family, so who would dare ask him to do something for them?"

Yun Xi sneered, then stood up and said slowly and deliberately, "Mom, it doesn't matter if others gossip outside. However, if you're spreading that news at home, then everyone is going to definitely think that you're the one who has spread these rumors throughout the villa complex."

"What did I say?" When Yun Xi said that, Liang Xiuqin grew anxious. Her eyes flashed, and she appeared to have a guilty conscience.

"If you have no proof, then don't talk nonsense. Otherwise, others might take your offhand remarks seriously."

Yun Yuanfeng joined in criticizing Liang Xiuqin. "Would you please shut up! Yun Xi is your daughter, but, instead of protecting her, you join in on spreading rumors! Who would believe such a thing based on simply gossip?"

Upon seeing that her father didn't believe the story, Yun Ziling joined in to keep the story going.

"Dad, Mom hasn't said anything wrong. Young Master Feng really likes my eldest sister. I also saw him giving her a scarf worth thousands of yuan. Where there's smoke, there's fire. Young Master Feng must be interested in her, otherwise, why would such a rumor spread throughout the villa complex?"

Yun Yuanfeng raised his eyes to look at Yun Xi, then asked with some doubt in his voice, "Yun Xi, what really is going on here?"

Yun Xi chuckled in a calm, composed manner. "Dad, don't you believe it. It's all smoke and mirrors."

"Then can you swear that Young Master Feng didn't give you anything last week?"

Yun Xi looked at Yun Ziling innocently. "Was it a holiday last week? Why would Young Master Feng give me something?"

"It was your birthday!"

"My birthday was several days before that. Why would he give me a birthday present a week later? Yun Ziling, even if you want to lie, remember to write a draft first. If you have the guts, show me the evidence."

On the day Feng Yang gave Yun Xi the scarf, both the mother and the daughter had seen it. No one else had seen it, and she wasn't afraid of them going upstairs to search.

"Do you think I have no proof? Your scarf is proof."

"You mean this one?" Yun Xi pulled down the collar of her down jacket, revealing a pink scarf inside.

"Yes! That's it. Yet you dare say that there's no evidence?"

Yun Yuanfeng had never seen Yun Xi wearing this scarf before, but he usually didn't pay much attention to such matters, so he didn't know for sure.

"This scarf was given to me by Madame Chen. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Chen family's house and ask her."

This scarf really was given to Yun Xi by Madame Chen and had been stuffed in the bag with the coat that Chen Yichen had given her.

By coincidence, it was the same brand and the same color as Feng Yang's gift.

Also, the styles of Burberry's scarves were similar, especially the plaid ones, so except for different colors, they all looked pretty much the same.
