Chapter 496: It Has Nothing to Do with Me

As soon as she heard that there were conditions, Liang Xiuqin immediately lost it.

“Wretched girl, how dare you be so uncooperative? You dare to make conditions when we ask you to do something. Do you think this is the way you treat a family? I think that you think that all you have to consider is yourself. It’s exactly what I would expect of some petty person from the countryside.”

Upon hearing Liang Xiuqin reprimanding Yun Xi, Yun Yuanfeng interrupted her unceremoniously. “That’s enough, do you want to come back or not? You still have to count on Yun Xi for help, don’t you realize that?”

It was already bad enough that she was stupid, but it seemed that she was also incapable of doing anything besides dragging him down.

If Yun Xi got upset, wouldn’t he himself have to go to plead with the Feng family? How could he bear the humiliation?

“I…” Upon being glared at by Yun Yuanfeng, Liang Xiuqin closed her mouth obediently, although she continued to glare at Yun Xi resentfully, since she was an eyesore to her.

“Yun Xi, as long as you can settle things with Madame Feng, you can make any demands you want.”

Yun Xi sneered, then looked at Liang Xiuqin without changing her expression. “My conditions are very simple. From now on until the day I graduate and take the college entrance examination, Mom can’t hara.s.s me anymore. If she digs her own grave again like she did last time, then don’t blame me for being merciless.

“At that time, even if Dad has just taken on the position of Director, if Mom causes trouble, don’t blame me for not helping. Even if we have to sleep on the streets, I won’t intercede with anyone from the Chen family or the Jiang family ever again, so Dad shouldn’t even think about asking.

“I am also your daughter. Although I am also in the Yun family, I have a bottom line.

“I have kept on cleaning up my mother’s messes again and again. I have even gone to the Chen family and the Jiang family to shamelessly beg for mercy. In the future, I am going to be seen as cheap in Jingdu. Dad, you probably don’t want me, your eldest daughter, to be ruined by Mom’s scandals, do you?”

She knew that Yun Yuanfeng knew in his heart who, among his three daughters, was the most valuable to him.

She was his eldest daughter and the daughter he had benefitted from the most so far. Her value was much higher than that of Liang Xiuqin, his wife, who didn’t have any value at all.

Therefore, she believed that Yun Yuanfeng wouldn’t keep making her plead with the prominent families because of her mother’s messes and risk having her degrade herself.

Balancing of interests and maximization of interests were the highest priorities for Yun Yuanfeng.

As for whether or not she would be exploited, it depended on her methods.

After a pause, Yun Xi looked at the solemn Yun Yuanfeng coldly. She knew that Yun Yuanfeng had already taken what she had just said to heart.

It was good that he took her words to heart, because if her mother crossed her again, she would no longer show any mercy.

Yun Yuanfeng had taken her words to heart, but Liang Xiuqin became enraged when she heard her words. However, before she could even speak, she was dragged to the sofa by Yun Yuanfeng.

“Shut up! Just do what Yun Xi says. Starting today, Yun Xi will be under my control, while Yun Ziling and Yun Chuhan will be under your control. Yun Xi’s decisions will have nothing to do with you, so you don’t have the right to intervene in her affairs. If you can’t follow these rules, then you can go back to the club.”

Because of this idiot, he had almost forgotten about Yun Xi’s status.

In the eyes of the Chen family and the Jiang family, Yun Xi’s status was quite decent now, but, if she kept denigrating herself for her mother like this, he shouldn’t expect her to be able to social climb through marriage in the future.

If she couldn’t social climb through marriage, what hope was there for him in the future?

After Yun Yuanfeng had drawn a clear line with her in this way, Liang Xiuqin didn’t know what to say for a while.

She felt angry and she felt unwilling, but she was unable to answer him back for now.

If she wanted to come back to the Yun family and take back control of the Yun family again, she had to endure this first.

After fighting with Yao Ying for so many years, now she had to worry that she couldn’t control her own daughter.

She’d given birth to her anyway, and she was her mother no matter what.

Seeing that she wasn’t speaking, Yun Yuanfeng snarled, “Did you hear me?”

“I heard you. Who does she think she is? As if I could be bothered with her. She can do whatever she wants. No matter how she ends up in the future, it has nothing to do with me.”

Liang Xiuqin spoke very self-righteously as she looked at Yun Xi with contempt.

Yun Xi nodded. “I’m glad that Mom thinks that way.”
