Chapter 271: Pleas for Forgiveness
After getting in the car, Yun Xi turned to look at the man in the driver’s seat. Suddenly, she leaned over and hugged him.
Getting a whiff of her fragrant scent, Mu Feichi stared at the girl who had just hugged him out of the blue. His handsome face looked dumbfounded and tense.
He pushed her back into her seat.
“You’re acting like Great White. Whenever he does something wrong and gets into trouble, he responds by acting like a baby and begging for mercy.”
Every time Great White killed one of his fish from the pond, which were worth thousands of yuan, he always showed up in front of Mu Feichi, begging for forgiveness.
It always made Mu Feichi fell angry and helpless.
If he got angry, that rascal Great White would rub his head against him endearingly and roll around on the ground pleading forgiveness.
If the truth were told, when his little rascal had just moved toward him and given him a hug, his heart had already grown soft.
“…” Yun Xi stared at him in surprise. She didn’t know what was going on.
Mu Feichi sighed, but then he decided to suffer in silence because he didn’t want to vent any anger on her.
Yun Xi shook her head and gazed at him with a smile. Her clear eyes reflected the light outside and looked like bright stars.
“I was just getting close to you to see if you were drunk. You know you shouldn’t drive when you’re drunk. Safety first!”
“I didn’t drink at all.” Mu Feichi took a deep breath, and his voice sounded a little hoarse.
Mesmerized by her eyes, he could really no longer feel any anger now.
He leaned over and pushed her back into her seat, buckled her seat belt, and started the car.
On the journey, the two of them were silent, and the car had a ominous vibe.
Yun Xi was nearly freezing to death from the cold air emanating from Mu Feichi.
After thinking for a bit, she stretched out her hand and tugged at Mu Feichi’s sleeve. “Young Marshal Mu, I’m hungry. Can we please go to eat something?…”
Being hungry was just an excuse. She simply wanted to find a reason to get out of the car so she could breathe.
It took a long time for Mu Feichi to turn his head and ask casually, “What do you want to eat?”
“Hot food…”
They drove for a while longer before finally pulling over to a stop. When Mu Feichi pushed open the door to get out of the car, Yun Xi obediently jumped out by herself.
Following Mu Feichi, Yun Xi raised her head and glanced at the restaurant. It was a Chaoshan porridge restaurant.
In Jingdu, this kind of restaurant was difficult to find. When it was cold, it felt comfy and cozy to eat a bowl of warm seafood porridge.
After ordering two bowls of shrimp porridge, Yun Xi ate her porridge while watching the man across from her.
“Why aren’t you eating?”
“Not hungry.”
Yun Xi bit her lip. He probably couldn’t eat because he was still fuming.
With a light sigh, she put a spoonful of porridge with several shrimps near his mouth and coaxed, “The porridge is delicious, and the shrimp are very fresh. Please try it!”
Mu Feichi lowered his eyes and glanced at the spoon she had brought up to his mouth. Then he looked at the expectant little rascal across from him, and he frowned.
“Young Marshal Mu, pleeease!” She continued to hold the spoon with an earnest expression.
Just as her hands started trembling, Mu Feichi clasped her wrist and put the spoonful of porridge into his mouth.
Yun Xi wanted to give him a second spoonful, but Mu Feichi clasped her wrist and made her eat it herself.
After their playful exchange, the vibe was no longer so tense.
Yun Xi snuck a glance at Mu Feichi’s face, but he was also staring at her, and they locked eyes. Her heart lurched.
When he gazed deeply at her, she felt that the world seemed somewhat different. Flustered, she lowered her head and dared not give him another glance.
After finishing the porridge, Yun Xi insisted that Mu Feichi drive the car back to Mu Mansion first and wait for her to change her clothes before going home.
Upon seeing the two of them come back, the butler greeted them. Yun Xi rushed to the guest room on the first floor to change her clothes.
“Master, you…” As soon as the butler looked over at Mu Feichi, he saw a red rash on Mu Feichi’s neck. He looked worried, “What did you eat?”
Mu Feichi touched his neck and examined his wrists. He noticed the allergic rash. He pulled up his collar and pulled down his sleeves. He acted like nothing had happened.
“Nothing. I ate a few shrimps.”
“You are allergic to seafood, and you know that, so why…?”
“Go and find the allergy medicine.” Mu Feichi gazed at the closed door as he spoke with an impassive expression.
The butler immediately understood what had happened. After sighing silently to himself, he turned and went to look for the medicine.

When Yun Xi got home, there was a group of people waiting for her in the living room. They looked over as she walked in.
It looked like there had been bad news.
She had just finished eating supper and felt a little sleepy, but she realized that she now had to wake up and deal with this group of relatives who were staring at her as she walked in.
After changing her shoes and walking over, Yun Xi glanced at Yun Yuanfeng, who had stood up and walked toward her. “Hi Dad, I’m back. What’s going on?”
“Yun Xi, did you go to the Chen family’s house today? Did you see the eldest heir of the Chen family?”
Yun Xi froze. She realized that when Mu Feichi’s butler had called her home and spoken to the housekeeper, he’d said that she was going to the Chen family’s house.
The oldest man in the Chen family was Chen Ziliang, Chen Yichen’s father. He was an extraordinary figure in Jingdu.
Since her dad had asked her this as soon as he’d opened his mouth, she guessed that something must have happened.
“No, but old Madame Chen asked me to go over for lunch tomorrow. I should be able to see them tomorrow if nothing intervenes.”
Yun Xi glanced at Liang Xiuqin and Yun Ziling, who were also looking at her, then she frowned and looked at her father.
“Dad, since you seem so nervous, perhaps they’ve caused trouble again?”
As soon as she heard this, Liang Xiuqin stood up before Yun Yuanfeng could even speak.
“Watch your mouth, who’s caused trouble? Who do you think you are? You have to be involved with everything that happens. Since you take yourself so seriously, then please bear some of the responsibility.”
Yun Xi turned her head to look at her mother, then plastered a fake smile on her face.
Her self-assured and nonchalant countenance made Liang Xiuqin feel a little frustrated.
She knew the ruthless ways of this wretched girl, so she was fearful of her bringing trouble again.
Yun Xi actually wanted to say that if her mother was willing to make way, she would be really happy to be in charge.
It was just that she wasn’t that impatient now, since the Yun family would belong to her sooner or later.
“Shut up!” Yun Yuanfeng yelled at Liang Xiuqin impatiently.
Besides the fact that she never helped, she also kept dragging him down. She was useless.
“Yun Xi, it’s like this. Dad wants to be promoted soon…”
Yun Xi nodded. Everyone knew that if it wasn’t for her father’s pending promotion, her mother wouldn’t be acting so restrained.
“We suddenly got news from our higher-ups that there was going to be an internal investigation on all the products. It’s sort of an evaluation, but you know that… Our company has benefited from a lot of shady income. Dad had to rely on shady income sources to feed the family. However, if they start investigating the company, it is going to be detrimental to my promotion, so…”
Yun Xi understood exactly what was going on.
Her father had probably earned a lot of money during the past few years, and much of it had probably been dirty money from shady business dealings.
If the powers that be found out about his shady business dealings, besides the fact that he would have no hope of any promotion, he might even lose his job altogether.
If that time came, their entire family would end up in the gutter.
Yun Xi was going to college soon, and she was already self-reliant. However, her mother and Yun Ziling wouldn’t fare so well.
This was indeed a thorny issue. If she talked to Mr. Chen directly, her motive would be too obvious, and she might end up exposing her dad.
As for what she should do, she still had to think about it.
“So, Dad, you want me to ask Mr. Chen to go easy on you?”
Presumably thinking that she would definitely help, Yun Yuanfeng nodded and gazed at her expectantly.
“Why should Mr. Chen help us? His eldest heir’s lifesaving favor has been paid back multiple times, and the Chen family doesn’t owe us anything. Whether or not they would help aside, if I recklessly mention this to him, it could backfire. Perhaps Mr. Chen won’t have noticed any misdeeds, but when I mention something, perhaps he will start investigating. Are you sure you want me to go ask him?”
Yun Yuanfeng thought about it for a while. He hadn’t considered this yet.
They hadn’t yet suspected him of anything, so if he went to them himself, it might backfire and expose him.
Liang Xiuqin sneered when she heard Yun Xi try to shirk the task. “If you don’t want to help, just say so. It’s not like you’re the only option we have.”

Chapter 273: Taking the Bait
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Yun Xi chuckled softly. “Mom seems so confident. She must have another way. Dad, Mom has thought of a way. Why not listen to her way of dealing with it?”
She knew that her mother was probably bluffing since all her connections had been ruined by her actions at the charity auction.
The only person she could think of now to help them would no doubt be Jiang Henglin.
If she wanted Jiang Henglin to help them, Yun Ziling had to be very charming indeed.
Yun Yuanfeng looked disdainful and scoffed, “What can she think of?”
“That’s not necessarily true. Mom never bluffs.”
Since her mother was so eager to pick a fight, of course she couldn’t miss the opportunity to watch the farce.
Yun Yuanfeng glanced at Liang Xiuqin, who smiled at Yun Xi smugly. Her expression seemed to say that she could accomplish this.
Liang Xiuqin had this rare opportunity to crush this wretched girl, and she had suppressed the urge to tell anyone about this idea until Yun Xi was in the room.
She wanted to see Yun Xi shunned by her dad.
“I heard from Ziling that lately Young Master Jiang has been going to her school to look for her every day. Although old man Jiang had arranged for him to marry Yun Xi, it doesn’t seem certain that they are destined to be together. Young Master Jiang likes Ziling, and, as parents, we can’t ruin their romance just because of some arranged marriage from long ago. So, no matter what happens, we will still end up being in-laws to the Jiang family in the future. And since they’re sisters, who cares which one he marries? Don’t you agree, husband?”
Yun Yuanfeng understood her meaning. She was informing him about the relationship between Second Young Master Jiang and Yun Ziling.
She’d also hinted that the Jiang family could help them.
Listening to her mother, Yun Xi was dying to start applauding. She nodded, desperate to suppress her laughter.
“Dad, Mom is right. It would be much better if the Jiang family helped us in this matter. After all, Mr. Chen has a special status. He isn’t directly involved in this matter. If we draw more people’s attention, we will inevitably become a target of this investigation.”
Speaking of this to the Jiang family would actually entail the same risks as talking to the Chen family, but since her mother was so confident, why not let her dig her own grave?
Let her volunteer to take the bait…
“Yes! So what if he’s rich and powerful, it doesn’t matter to us if he doesn’t help.”
Yun Yuanfeng glared at Liang Xiuqin. “Watch your mouth. He’s a distinguished man from the Chen family.”
They were all the same age, but no matter how hard he tried in life, he was never going to reach as high a position.
Liang Xiuqin sneered. She didn’t take him seriously.
She didn’t think too much about what Yun Xi had said. She was happy that Yun Xi had backed down and given them a good opportunity.
Yun Yuanfeng thought about it all very carefully. The Jiang family was directly in charge of this investigation.
If they could go easy on him, then this crisis could be averted.
“Well, then okay! You guys intercede with Second Young Master Jiang and see if he can help me.”
“Nothing will go wrong!” Liang Xiuqin called over Yun Ziling, complimenting her.
“Ziling is the most caring and capable one. Unlike someone, who is all bluff, and doesn’t want to help us with anything.”
Yun Xi didn’t care at all. “Dad, I’m going to go upstairs for now. Tomorrow, I will go to the Chen family’s house to dine with the old Madame.”
“All right, you be careful, and remember the proper etiquette. Don’t bring shame on the Yun family.”
Yun Yuanfeng felt he had to remind her. It doesn’t matter if the Chen family can’t help him, and it doesn’t matter if the marriage with the Jiang family fails. After all, isn’t there still the Chen family?
If his eldest daughter marries the eldest heir of the Chen family, would it still be difficult for him to flourish in the future…?
The more Yun Yuanfeng thought about it, the prouder he felt.
Yun Xi glanced at the smug expression on her father’s face and chuckled to herself. “Got it!”
She went upstairs to her room.
She glanced at the black bag that was resting on the table. Wasn’t that the 60,000 yuan she’d deliberately dropped in Mu Feichi’s car?
She turned her head and looked at the open window. He’d specially brought it back in the dead of night, just because it felt more satisfying to him for her to owe him a favor.
Mu Feichi was truly eccentric.

At the Mu Mansion…
The butler was waiting anxiously at the door, holding a glass of warm water in one hand and a bunch of allergy medicine in the other.
When he finally heard the sound of Mu Feichi’s car, he went outside quickly.
“Young Master,…” Looking worriedly at the rash on his neck, the butler passed the medicine and the water to him. “…how can you negotiate with people tomorrow?”
“I’ll be okay.” Mu Feichi swallowed the medicine.
As if he’d suddenly thought of something, his handsome face seemed contemplative. He handed the empty glass back to the butler and said, “Go and rest.”
After going upstairs, Mu Feichi called Jiang Chenghuan right away.
He didn’t know whether it was because the person on the other end was preoccupied with philandering, but it took quite a while for him to answer the phone.
“You bury yourself in a woman’s breast every day, be careful or you’ll suffer from sexual impotency later on.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chenghuan roared, “D*mn you! Third Bro Mu, can you stop being so sharp-tongued! I haven’t even produced my heir yet.”
“I want you to take a gift tomorrow and go to the Chen family’s house to join the old Madame for dinner.”
“Ah! Why? I don’t want to go. Last time, she arranged a blind date for me, and the girl was abnormal. Not in terms of appearance, but in her mind. I was almost tortured to death by her.”
The Chen family and the Jiang family were very old family friends, and old Madame Chen had been responsible for bringing his parents together, so the old Madame treated him as if he was her own grandson.
But whenever he thought about that troublesome blind date, he was too afraid to go to the Chen’s house anymore.
Mu Feichi said icily, “My little fox is also going to go to the Chen family’s house tomorrow.”
“Oh…” Realization dawned on Jiang Chenghuan, and he finally understood the purpose of this call.
He asked in a gossipy manner, “Are you afraid that your little fox, who hasn’t been fed properly, will be kidnapped by Chen Yichen? You want me to be your spy, right?”
Thinking about this, Jiang Chenghuan became even more curious and couldn’t help but tease Mu Feichi.
“You’re right. Your little fox is at that age when she is beginning to fall in love. She will definitely fall head over heels in love with whoever treats her the best. I must say, you…”
“Apollo Sun God.” Mu Feichi threw out the bait. He was too lazy to talk nonsense with Jiang Chenghuan.
“I…you, in order to pursue that little fox, you’re even willing to give me your favorite car!”
Apollo Sun God was the sports car that he’d been coveting for a long time now. However, he couldn’t get his hands on one because it was a limited edition.
Moreover, Mu Feichi’s vehicle had been modified by their technical department. The positioning system and various programs in it were the best in the world, and no one would be able to buy a car as great as this anywhere in the world.
He had been envious of this car for a long time. Mu Feichi wouldn’t even say where the car was, and he hadn’t even been able to get a glimpse of the car.
“Are you going or not?”
“Go! I’ll go! Even if it wasn’t for the car, for the sake of your great romantic pursuit of your wife, I will fall on swords for you…”
Before Jiang Chenghuan finished speaking, Mu Feichi hung up the phone and threw it on the bedside table.
Turning around and entering the bathroom, he looked in the mirror. His neck was covered in a rash.
But when he thought about the girl’s eyes that were so dazzling that they were like stars, he felt as if his rash was nothing.
…
Early in the morning, Yun Xi heard the housekeeper say that the Chen family had sent a car to pick her up.
The housekeeper had deliberately yelled the message out loudly during breakfast, for fear that the rest of the family wouldn’t be able to hear her.
Yun Xi couldn’t help but smile. The housekeeper really had the balls to butt heads with her mother for her sake.
She’d been hired by their third uncle to take care of her grandfather, so even if her mother disliked the housekeeper, she couldn’t get rid of her.
After calling her teacher to let her know she was going to be absent, Yun Xi changed into a mint green long-sleeved vintage-style dress. Underneath the dress she wore a white linen skirt. Her exquisite figure was accentuated by the vintage-style pankou dress.
The elegant color was neither ostentatious nor too low key, and it made her appear sophisticated.
Yun Ziling glanced at her slim waist, grit her teeth, and grunted with green-eyed envy.
“Sister, aren’t you ashamed to dress like that to go to the Chen’s house? You look like a girl from the country going into the city for the first time.”
Yun Xi glanced at Yun Ziling airily. Without bothering to answer her nonsense, she turned around and walked out.

Chapter 275: Pick on the Pushover
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As soon as Yun Xi went outside, she saw the black car parked at the curb. Chen Yichen saw her coming out and got out of the car.
Yun Xi was taken aback on seeing him.
She had thought that Chen Yichen was going to send a driver to pick her up. She surely hadn’t expected Chen Yichen to come himself.
Yun Xi teased him with a smile. “So, the eldest heir has come to pick me up himself. I’m really flattered!”
“I came here personally to show my sincerity and pay tribute to your status.”
Chen Yichen went to the passenger side and opened the door for her.
Yun Xi smiled and was about to get into the car. It just so happened that, at that moment, Liang Xiuqin was leaving to take Yun Ziling to the Jiang home to find Jiang Henglin.
As soon as she’d gone outside and seen the elegant sedan parked at the curb outside their house and noticed that the eldest heir had come in person to pick up Yun Xi, she quickly pulled Yun Ziling with her and walked over to get familiar with him.
“The eldest heir is here! Such a distinguished guest! Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?”
Chen Yichen glanced at Liang Xiuqin. Although he didn’t like this snobby woman, he had to maintain a courteous attitude toward her both because she was Yun Xi’s mother and because of the manners he’d been bred with. So he answered politely, “Auntie, there is no need. Thank you.”
“Oh, are you headed home to the Chen family’s house? It just so happens that we’re going to the Jiang family’s house on the same road. Could you give us a ride with you?”
Chen Yichen glanced at Yun Xi’s embarrassed and impatient expression and chuckled lightly. “I’m sorry, but we aren’t going back to my home. Grandma has invited Yun Xi to dine at Jinding.”
“Jinding…” Liang Xiuqin tugged at the corners of her mouth, her eyes gleaming.
Jinding!
Jinding’s cuisine was second to none in Jingdu!
Customers weren’t allowed to order dishes. All the dishes were cooked by the host according to what was in season.
The chefs at Jinding were all apprentices to or heirs of imperial court chefs. The craftsmanship they displayed was the highest in Jingdu. The food was lavishly priced and deliciously made.
Those who could get a reservation at Jinding were either celebrities or prominent figures in the business world. Ordinary people couldn’t make a reservation even if they wanted to.
The Yun family was just a family from the villa complex. There was no way they would ever be able to get a reservation.
Yun Ziling had grown up in Jingdu, so she naturally knew what Jingding represented.
Upper-class socialites all gloated about going to Jinding for dinner. It had become a way to show off one’s status.
Now, after hearing that Yun Xi was going to Jinding with the Chen family, she was no longer in the mood to go to the Jiang family’s home.
From the corner of her eyes, Yun Xi saw Yun Ziling tugging at the hem of Liang Xiuqin’s clothes, and she knew exactly what her mother and sister were thinking.
Before her mother could speak, Yun Xi said, “Eldest heir, let’s go! We don’t want to keep the old Madame waiting.”
“Hey, wait a minute! Yun Xi, since you are going to see the old Madame, why don’t you bring us along. We can apologize to her personally about what happened at the auction.”
Go and apologize, and then get a free meal with it. Liang Xiuqin knew that since she was Yun Xi’s mother, the old Madame wouldn’t give her a hard time.
Yun Xi turned her head and glanced at her mother. She couldn’t believe that the old cow was thick-skinned enough to mention the charity auction.
Yun Xi made an eye gesture to Chen Yichen, and he went over to the driver’s side of the car.
Liang Xiuqin thought that she had agreed to this idea, so she led Yun Ziling over to the car and reached for the car door.
But the car door wouldn’t open, and Yun Xi rolled her eyes at her mother.
“Mom, you crashed the old Madame’s auction. If it hadn’t been for me interceding with her, do you think the old Madame would’ve let you off the hook so easily? If you show up in front of the old Madame and mention that incident, it will provoke her. I can promise you I won’t be able to help you anymore. Are you sure you still want to go?”
It seems that the lesson her father gave her last time hadn’t been memorable enough. Her mother was still looking for trouble!
“Sister! You and I both know what happened last time. It’s obvious you tried to frame me…”
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and decided to pick on the pushover, Yun Ziling.
“You still haven’t paid Madame Chen for the vase you broke, have you? Do you want to bring the money with you and give it to Madame Chen today?”
“You…” Yun Ziling felt herself grow even more resentful and infuriated. She bit her lip and glared at Yun Xi, her pale hands gripping her bag tightly.
“Wretched girl, watch your mouth! Whether it was the auction or the vase, it has all been your fault!”
Yun Xi smiled airily. There was nothing for her to say.
She slammed her car door shut.
Chen Yichen started the car and drove away quickly.
In the rearview mirror, Yun Xi could see her mother stamping her foot in frustration, while Yun Ziling looked indignant. Yun Xi sneered to herself.
