Sure enough, Yun Xi and Mu Feichi did not have to wait long before a taxi showed up at the gates of the residential compound.

This area was relatively far from the city. Most homes here had private cars. Taxis seldom pa.s.sed through the area unless someone called and requested one.

Yun Yuanfeng had taken the family car to work, and so Liang Xiuqin had had to call for a taxi since she was in a hurry to go out.

Watching Liang Xiuqin and Yun Ziling coming out of the compound, Yun Xi patted the drivers seat. Feng Rui, follow them.

Will do, Feng Rui answered. He hit the pedal.

Mu Feichi glanced at the taxi and smiled. How did you know that your mother was going to come out?

Because that last-minute invitation didnt leave them with much time to get ready. In order to make sure that Yun Ziling becomes the focus of tomorrows banquet, my mother would surely need to take her out shopping for a new ball gown. I purposely asked Jiang Chenghuan to write strictly formal when it came to the dress code on the invitation. To make sure that Yun Ziling looks as good as all the other guests, my mother would definitely need to go to all the best shops. Yun Ziling was born with a congenital heart disease, which has always made her feel inferior ever since she was a child, so my mother has always catered to her demands, especially when it concerns her future. She has always made sure that Yun Ziling has never felt inferior in any respect, even when it came to ball gowns. As long as Yun Ziling wants something, my mother will fork out the money regardless of how much it costs.

Frowning, Mu Feichi studied her profile as her expression turned cold and solemn. He knew well enough that this girl had once been hopeful that Liang Xiuqin could change, but after being hurt time and time again, that hope was now long gone.

His heart ached for her, but there were certain things that just werent meant to be.

Do you think Yun ZIling has cast some spell over your mother? Clearly, youre the daughter who would have most likely brought her a prosperous future, yet she stands guard over that fool. Could there be something wrong with her eyes?

Yun Xi giggled bitterly and didnt bother to express how indignant she felt. After all, her mothers deep-rooted superst.i.tions would never allow her to believe that her unborn son had died because she had mistakenly eaten the wrong food.

Besides, how could someone like her mother, who had been told that Yun Xi was an innocent messenger of death by a fortune-teller, ever blame herself for losing the baby and have to spend the rest of her life feeling guilty?

At the moment when she had been disfigured by her mother in her last life, every last ounce of sentiment that she felt for Liang Xiuqin had disappeared.

Now that she had been reborn, all she wanted to do was to push that mother-and-daughter pair into the deep end of h*ll one step at a time.

The car followed the taxi, driving all the way to the business district of the city. Before reaching the Jingdu Tower Plaza, Yun Xi had already guessed where Liang Xiuqin and Yun Ziling were headed.

Feng Rui, park the car over at the Jingdu Tower Plaza. Well find them there.

Huh? Are you sure thats where theyre headed?

Jingdu Tower is the most high-end shopping plaza in Jingdu. Theyll be going there for sure. Anyway, Ive already a.s.signed someone to follow them, just to make sure that my guess is right.

This ploy had been in the planning stages for a long time, and now she was just waiting to ensnare them.

Since she seemed confident, Feng Rui did not ask anymore questions but drove the car to the entrance of the shopping mall.

The moment Yun Xi stepped out of the car, she turned to look at Mu Feichi. Her face was completely at ease as if she wasnt here to stalk anyone.

She looked up at the charming, handsome man. He was a sight for sore eyes. Her eyes twinkled merrily as she said, Young Commander, it seems weve never gone shopping together, have we?

They had basically been secret lovers here in Jingdu. Mu Feichi had felt suffocated for far too long. Now that she mentioned it, he certainly wanted to get back all his rights as her man.

So are you going to make it up to me, babe?

Yun Xi nodded and put her arm through his. Lets go shopping! But first, we need to get you a disguise.. With you being so handsome, I might lose you after taking you out with me in public.
