On Saturday morning, Yun Xi went downstairs with one of the pillows that she'd made.
Seeing what looked like rags in her hands, Liang Xiuqin deliberately made fun of it in front of Yun Yuanfeng.
"This is the gift you want to bring to the Chen family's house? Aren't you embarrassed to bring such a cheap thing? You're going to bring shame on the Yun family."
Yun Ziling knew that she was going to the Chen family's house today, and remembering that she had been driven out of the Chen family's house the last time they had visited, her sense of resentment was suddenly reignited.
Her venomous eyes glared at Yun Xi, and she had the urge to rip off her pretentious mask.
"Sister, you scammed money from mother and bought this? Did you actually spend the money on yourself and that's why you're bringing this cheap thing?"
When the topic came to money, Liang Xiuqin's expression changed. When there were no outsiders watching her, Liang Xiuqin was no longer conscious of her status as a vice president's wife.
Suddenly, all her bitter feelings that she'd acquired from her countryside upbringing burst out.
"How dare you use the money I gave you to buy this crappy gift! Where is the remaining money?"
Yun Xi narrowed her eyes slightly. She was wearing a violet silk dress, with fine blue-and-white patterns embroidered on the jacket. Its white chiffon hem made her appear elegant and sophisticated.
When standing quietly, she looked like a blue blooming daisy, serene and calm, gentle and noble.
Compared with Liang Xiuqin's aggressive demeanor, as she stood in front of her mother at this moment, she had an air of grace and sophistication.
"The money was used to buy the medical ingredients in the medicine pillow. There are quite a few precious medical ingredients inside. The money you gave was not enough, so I contributed the rest myself."
"Isn't all of your money given to you by us anyway? No way will old Madame Chen be pleased by such a crappy thing."
Yun Yuanfeng had always been full of pride, so when he glanced at the pillow in Yun Xi's hand and saw how cheap it looked, his expression immediately soured.
"Yun Xi, how could you give something like this to the old lady? That's how you spent the money your mother gave you?"
Yun Xi glanced at her mother's triumphant expression and raised her eyes.
"Dad, old Madame Chen pays attention to her health maintenance. She has suffered from insufficient blood supply to the brain recently, and this medicine pillow is full of ingredients that target her disease according to the theories of Chinese medicine."
"Even so, there are many doctors and professors from hospitals near the old madame, so there's no need for you to get involved. Quick, give this crap to me, and buy a few boxes of supplements from outside."
Upon hearing this, the corners of Yun Xi's mouth turned up in amusement. She decided to play on Yun Yuanfeng's weakness.
"Dad, the prices of the supplements out there aren't cheap. The ginseng and deer antler that can be obtained are thousands of yuan each. Mom only gave me 1,000 yuan, and the only thing I could think of was this."
When it came to supplements, of course their family's wealth couldn't be compared to the Chen family's. They were far below them.
Even if they gave something valuable, the Chen family probably wouldn't appreciate it.
Seeing Yun Yuanfeng's distress, Yun Xi didn't bother talking any more nonsense with them.
However, Liang Xiuqin continued, "Okay, since you've made it, you can take it. But I'm warning you, if you don't settle things today, don't bother coming back!"
Since she talked so big in front of her father, this was a chance to make her suffer a little.
If she offended old Madame Chen with her cheap gift, then Liang Xiuqin would have an excuse to drive her back to the countryside.
Yun Xi laughed. She realized that her mother's reasons for being so compliant was that her ultimate goal was to take her back to the countryside.
As she left the villa complex, Yun Xi was just about to take a taxi to the Chen family's house when a black vehicle stopped in front of her.
Yun Xi glanced at the flashy license plate and knew who was sitting in the car without even looking.
The window was lowered to reveal Mu Feichi's angular profile, and the deep contours of his face made his eyes appear especially gloomy.
"Get in the car. I'll take you there."
"Huh?" Yun Xi was dumbstruck. She glanced around and asked nervously, "Young Marshal Mu, how do you know where I'm going?"
"The Chen family's home."
"Oh!" With no one around to see her, she quickly got into the car with her heavy pillow.
