Because of the farce at the auction, Liang Xiuqin's notoriety suddenly spread throughout Jingdu society.
The wealthy socialites who had applied for membership cards in her spa started asking for refunds, one after another.
Liang Xiuqin spent her whole days in distress. All the time and money she'd spent on developing her connections by networking with the elite had all gone to ruin overnight, not to mention the fact that she'd lost a lot of money.
As she stared at the empty spa, the jeers from all the rich ladies echoed in her mind.
She only had one thought on her mind. She wanted to suffocate the wretched girl Yun Xi to death!
If it hadn't been for that wretched girl, she wouldn't be in such a situation.
She was fuming with anger and frustration. Her distress was tormenting her over and over again.
At the same time, she also couldn't understand how the wretched girl had returned the jade seal, or how she'd changed it into a watch to frame her.
She felt both relieved and resentful.
How ruthless of that wretched girl not only to cause her to suffer public humiliation, but also to lose so much business.
Before Yun Xi had returned, everything had been going well for her and the Yun family.
Ever since Yun Xi had come back, everything had started going wrong, and she'd experienced all sorts of misfortune.
If Yun Xi continued to stay in Jingdu, she might be the next one who got jinxed.
No way! She must drive Yun Xi back to the countryside no matter what!
As soon as Yun Ziling got home from school, she saw her mother throwing a tantrum in the living room.
"Mom, what's the matter with you? Who made you so angry?"
"Who else could it be? It's that scourge, of course!"
Liang Xiuqin glanced upstairs and yelled, as if making sure that Yun Xi could hear her.
In fact, Yun Xi, who lived on the third floor, really couldn't hear her.
The two small balls that Mu Feichi had left for her were really effective at sound insulation. No matter how noisy it was downstairs, she couldn't hear anything in her room.
She could do her homework with peace of mind without being disturbed by all the commotion.
After listening to what her mom had said, Yun Ziling suddenly started to feel anxious.
Her mother had worked hard to help her establish social connections, and she was so close to marrying into a nice family.
But Yun Xi had now messed things up at such a crucial time.
"Mom, Yun Xi has schemed against me so viciously, and now I can't show my face in upper-class society. How will I make friends and find someone to marry in the future? Are you really going to let me end up with one of those nasty impoverished boys? In that case, I might as well die."
Yun Ziling had been pampered like a princess since she was young and couldn't bear any form of suffering. Liang Xiuqin had instilled the dream of marrying money and becoming a wealthy wife in her.
She was already at a disadvantage in terms of family background compared to the socialites, so if she had to marry a man below her class, she really would be driven crazy.
Liang Xiuqin was already feeling distressed and distracted as she thought about how to send that wretched girl Yun Xi away, so she didn't hear anything Yun Ziling had said.
Yun Ziling's eyes suddenly reddened, and she started crying.
"Mom! My sister has jinxed me with this illness and caused me to suffer so much ever since I was a child, and now she's framed me and made me suffer this humiliation! Why did you want her to come back? If she hadn't come back, none of this would have happened."
Upon hearing her crying, Liang Xiuqin snapped back to reality and stared at her baby girl with a pitiful expression on her face.
"Don't cry, don't cry! Mom won't let her bully you like this."
Liang Xiuqin patted Yun Ziling on the shoulder as she wiped away her tears and comforted her. She calmed her down by cajoling her with tender words.
"Mom, after Yun Xi came back, everything started going wrong with our family, and it's all her fault! If she hadn't come back, we wouldn't have had so many troubles at home."
"Of course, I know this, but what can I do? Your grandfather wanted her to come home."
"What should I do? She still lives in this home, and even if I don't die of my illness I'll die of the misfortune she brings. Look at the auction. She didn't frame Liang Xinyi, but me, her sister, instead. She's driving me crazy."
"Blah, blah, blah! Don't talk nonsense! I won't let her jinx you. I will find a way. This matter is urgent. If you want her to go back to the countryside, you have to get your grandfather to agree."
