Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten

Chapter 1076: Watch from the Sidelines

Not only was she answering Liang Xiuqin’s question, but she was also speaking to Yun Yuanfeng.

It was not hard to guess what Yun Yuanfeng was thinking. He wanted her to befriend the family heads. If he offended someone and implicated the Yun family, his career would be over. By then, it would be too late for regrets.

Yun Yuanfeng was not stupid, so he did not question Yun Xi right from the start. Instead, he tested her.

He probed to confirm his suspicions. Unfortunately, Yun Xi had to disappoint him.

Young Master Huo and Young Master Jiang had suddenly stood up to speak up for this young girl. This had caused many people to wonder if they knew each other and had a close relationship.

However, it was precisely because of the disparity in their statuses that people’s suspicions were extinguished.

On the contrary, they took it for granted that they were just helping the innocent and weak when they saw an injustice.

On the other hand, for someone like Liang Xiuqin who wanted to dig out even the slightest chance between the cracks, she treated suspicion as an opportunity to believe without a doubt and did not let go of even the slightest possibility. Her behavior made Yun Xi feel ridiculous and annoyed.

Because she understood her, Yun Xi only needed to refuse to admit that she knew them and add a tiny threat when dealing with people like her. In that way, she would be able to crush her thoughts in the cradle.

After all, she did not know how to analyze the pros and cons. Yun Yuanfeng knew that he would not use his own future in exchange for an illusory opportunity.

“Sis, I was there as well. The way Young Master Jiang talked to you was clearly like a friend. He even said that he wanted to help you cause a scene. If you didn’t know each other, why would he have spoken to you like that?”

With Yun Ziling’s reminder, the thought that Liang Xiuqin was about to suppress emerged again.

When Yun Ziling said this, Yun Xi really could not help but laugh. Only Yun Ziling would ask such an uncultured question.

“Yun Ziling, don’t you know that Young Master Jiang and all the socialites and heiresses here speak like this? Oh, that’s right. He hasn’t spoken to you before, so of course you don’t know. The people surrounding him are all daughters of wealthy families. You probably can’t even get a queue number, so you can only watch from the sidelines. But after watching for an entire night, why don’t you understand?”

“You…what do you mean?”

Yun Ziling’s face went rigid, but Yun Xi’s words were all true, so she could not refute a single one.

She had watched the socialites the whole night and followed her mother around, but not many people had liked them.

Many socialites and heiresses had surrounded Young Master Jiang. She did not even have a chance to get close to him before they squeezed her out. She could only watch from the sidelines.

However, she did not expect Young Master Jiang to stand up for Yun Xi, the unlucky star, and smile at her. What a waste!

What was Yun Xi? She was an unlucky star who would only bring misfortune to others. What right did she have to receive the attention and protection of Young Master Jiang and Young Master Huo?

At that time, she had wished that she had been the one who was slandered and not that wretched girl Yun Xi.

All the good luck had been snatched away by her. She could not accept it.

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows, her face full of innocence. “It is what you heard. Could it be that what I said wasn’t the truth?”

“Shut up!” Liang Xiuqin could not bear to see Yun Ziling being bullied by Yun Xi, so she interrupted her harshly. “Didn’t they stand up to defend you? Since you don’t know them, you should take the chance to thank them and befriend them. If you don’t have the chance, then go create an opportunity.”

Yun Xi frowned slightly and looked at Liang Xiuqin teasingly. Why did this commanding tone sound so unpleasant to her?

“When we were at the hotel, I went to thank them, but they did not take it to heart. If I go there again and disturb their rest and offend them, can you afford the responsibility? If you can afford it, I’ll go tomorrow.”
