"It's true that I'm a nobody, but as long as I don't call off the engagement, you don't have the right to make me, even if you are my mother. Old man Jiang has always been fond of me, and he definitely won't let Jiang Henglin go rogue, so..."
She turned her head and glanced at Yun Ziling, who had that same arrogant expression on her face as her mother did.
"It's a pity that Yun Ziling will have to settle for being a mistress."
As she was saying this, Yun Xi couldn't help but think of the slogan of the advertisement for Dior lipstick that was around in her last life: As long as I live, you all will always be concubines.
If she didn't call it off, Yun Ziling would have to bear the ignominy of being a mistress for her entire life.
Yun Xi chuckled lightly and glanced at Yun Ziling, who had a menacing look on her face, with an innocent expression. Then she turned around and headed upstairs.
"Wretched girl! Stop right there! I'm warning you, you'd better get to know your place, or else..."
"Or else, what? Mom, do you think you are in a position to threaten me now? I am more important to Dad than Yun Ziling. If you dare lay hands on me, I'm betting Dad would use Grandpa's whip to punish you."
After that farce at the parents' meeting, Yun Yuanfeng had almost taken a whip to discipline her, and her mother was still apprehensive about it.
However, due to her intense love for Yun Ziling, she would resort to any means to get Yun Ziling what she wanted.
It was only a matter of time before her mother would meet her demise, and Yun Xi wasn't in a hurry.
"You..." Liang Xiuqin was so enraged that her entire face became distorted.
Yun Xi didn't bother paying any more attention to her, and she went upstairs with a sneer.
.....
She felt honored to be able to work her mother up into such a fury.
...
After eating and having a shower, Yun Xi went back to her room to study.
After she'd gotten first place in her class, Yun Yuanfeng would not allow anyone to disturb her studying.
Her room was at the end of the hall, and Liang Xinyi was practically in Yun Ziling's room every day, asking her for advice on how to dress, etc.
As soon as Yun Xi returned to her room, she saw the figure sitting on her sofa. She froze and quickly closed the door.
She lowered her head and glanced at the infrared shield behind the door. She dared not speak until she was sure it was working.
"Young Master Mu, can you please come in without climbing the wall? If you are seen, how would I be able to plead my innocence?"
Yun Xi glanced at the man on the sofa angrily. "Even if you are bored and have nothing to do, you can't just come all the way here to make trouble for me, all right?"
"I didn't come to make trouble. I brought you what you wanted."
As he said this, Mu Feichi patted the laptop beside him. "I've copied all the information about the four major distinguished families and other business industry social circles you might want to know about into this computer."
Yun Xi glanced at the laptop beside him and felt somewhat surprised. "You're giving it to me?"
"Why not? This is an encrypted computer. All you want is confidential information. Don't worry about being hacked or being copied by other people."
"That's great!" She stepped forward, but just as she was about to reach for the laptop, her wrist was clasped.
She was caught off guard, but then she quickly flipped her hand and was about to smack his big hand with her left hand when...
It seemed that he had expected her to fight back, and Mu Feichi quickly dragged her forward just as she was about to strike back.
Caught by surprise, Yun Xi was pulled into his arms and stumbled onto his strong thighs.
The more she struggled, the more his hands clasped her waist tightly. He breathed onto her neck as his mellow voice sounded.
"Don't move! If I accidentally lose control, don't blame me for laying my hands on a juvenile like you."
After listening to his gentle warning, Yun Xi couldn't help but shiver. Not daring to move, she sat there obediently.
She was no longer a little girl, so of course she understood what he meant.
She was now the meat on the cutting board, and she might get eaten at any moment, so she wasn't in a position to resist or negotiate the terms.
After taking a deep breath, Yun Xi said helplessly, "Young Marshal Mu, what do you plan to do?"
