Chapter 514: Eyes Bigger Than Her Stomach

Liang Xiuqin became anxious when she heard that Yun Xi had asked Yao Ying to hold onto the money and keep it safe for her.

Yao Ying had already taken over the family’s power of the purse from her, causing her to lose a large amount of income. Now, once again, she was obliged to watch money fall back into Yao Ying’s pocket. Liang Xiuqin felt extremely distressed at her state of finances.

“There’s still six months to go before you go to college. Mom can keep the money safe for you and give it to you when you go off to college. It’s safer with me than with Yao Ying.”

“Really?” Yun Xi looked at Liang Xiuqin with a smile. She would be really stupid if she didn’t remember the saying about throwing a meat-stuffed bun at a dog: one would never be able to get it back once one had given it away.

“Mom, I heard that your clubhouse was smashed and looted?”

“…” Liang Xiuqin turned pale as soon as she heard that night mentioned.

She didn’t even know who she had offended. The other party had been so ruthless that she was completely out of business now.

Without the income from the clubhouse and without the power of the purse in the Yun family, she was completely broke.

“So, letting you keep it safe obviously wouldn’t be as safe as keeping it in my own hands. So I’ve decided to let second aunt help keep it safe.”

Yun Xi glanced at the anxious Yun Ziling and Liang Xiuqin and crushed their fantasies without changing her expression. “Second aunt, you can tell my dad that you are keeping this money safe for me.”

After a pause, Yun Xi glanced at Liang Xinyi and chuckled in amus.e.m.e.nt.

“Since my cousin is so capable that she was able to resolve the tension between the Yun family and the Su family, I think it shouldn’t be difficult for my cousin to help solve my mother’s problems also. My mother would rather have you stay with the Yun family and drive me back to the countryside. I can tell that she really likes you. Now, it’s time for you to repay her. I definitely wouldn’t want to take this chance away from you.

Reminding Liang Xiuqin of the existence of a fake daughter who was more capable and more easy to reap benefits from than Yun Xi, Yun Xi’s words successfully s.h.i.+fted Liang Xiuqin’s target.

Liang Xiuqin looked at Liang Xinyi with s.h.i.+ning eyes after hearing this. They were now relying on one another as well as exploiting one another.

Since Liang Xinyi also had the ability to claim ties with the Han family, it wouldn’t be a problem for her to help resolve Liang Xiuqin’s financial distress.

Liang Xiuqin had helped Liang Xinyi gain a foothold in the Yun family, so Liang Xinyi naturally was obliged to help her solve her current problems.

Liang Xiuqin hadn’t expected to get any benefits from the hands of that wretched girl Yun Xi, but Liang Xinyi was different.

Yun Xi gleefully glanced at Liang Xinyi’s ashen face. Liang Xinyi knew very well that Yun Xi had just dug her grave.

And Liang Xinyi hadn’t forgotten that Liang Xiuqin always had eyes that were bigger than her stomach, and she knew Liang Xiuqin’s greediness and shamefulness better even than Yun Xi did.

Since Liang Xinyi had put in so much effort to get Liang Xiuqin back, she naturally wanted to give her a big gift as a thank you.

Thinking of how Liang Xiuqin would start treating Liang Xinyi as a cash cow, Yun Xi couldn’t help feeling gleeful!

“Second aunt, come upstairs for a bit. I have something to tell you.” Yun Xi turned around and went upstairs.

Leaving behind Liang Xiuqin, who was scheming, and Liang Xinyi, who was feeling regretful, Yao Ying agreed and followed behind Yun Xi.

After Yun Xi’s door slammed shut, Yao Ying didn’t bother to conceal her good mood anymore and laughed out loud.

“See, she shot herself in the foot. This time, we’ll see how smug Liang Xinyi is.”

When Yao Ying thought about how Yun Xi had given them a taste of their own medicine, she couldn’t help but praise her.

“Yun Xi, your trick was amazing. In the future, as soon as your mother runs out of money, she will definitely turn to Liang Xinyi. It’s all right now. Let them fight it all out together.”

“This is just a small gift I gave to Liang Xinyi. There will be an even bigger gift coming later.”

Her sly eyes gleaming and sparkling, Yun Xi turned around. “Second aunt, my other aunt from the countryside will be coming to the Yun family’s house very soon. You must be prepared!”

“Don’t worry, I’m with you. I will make sure to do everything that you have instructed.”
