Chapter 1657: Don’t Regret Your Decision

Yun Xi stood quietly at the entrance of the dressing room with a gift box and a paper bag. She did not need to hear much to guess who Liang Xinyi was calling.

To Han Hongbin, she was just a dispensable chess piece. Even Han Yaotian was only one of Han Hongbin’s chess pieces, not to mention Han Zhongteng, who was useless.

The sounds coming from the room finally stopped. She knocked on the door and pushed it open.

Seeing that it was her, Liang Xinyi’s expression darkened. She abruptly stood up from the chaise longue, her face full of displeasure. “What are you doing here? I don’t remember sending you an invitation.”

Liang Xinyi’s slightly flustered face still showed a hint of guilt. After all, she had just hung up the phone and the door had been pushed open. Who knew what she had overheard at the door.

Stopping in her tracks, Yun Xi raised her eyebrows slightly. “Isn’t today your engagement party? You sent an invitation to the Young Commander, but he doesn’t have time to come so he asked me to attend on his behalf.”

She had come in with Mu Feichi’s invitation today. After all, she was the person Liang Xinyi did not want to see the most. She was not stupid enough to invite her to watch the show.

However, Liang Xinyi thought too highly of herself. She thought that all the leaders of the three noble families would attend just because she had sent out the invitations. She did not even pause to think if she was worthy of that.

Mu Feichi had originally planned to accompany Yun Xi to watch the show and show the Su family some respect. However, after careful consideration, he had decided against doing it. If he really had come, even if Su Ximan had backup plans, the Su family would not have been able to survive today.

It was a simple sentence, but in Liang Xinyi’s ears, it sounded like Yun Xi was boasting.

Especially now that she was about to get engaged to the man who disgusted her the most… How could she not be angry when Yun Xi, this wretched girl, had come to show off her relationship with the Young Commander?

“Don’t you have any shame? I invited the Young Commander, not you!”

When Liang Xinyi heard that the Young Commander was not attending, her heart instantly turned cold. If he was not attending, the leaders of the other two noble families definitely wouldn’t come either.

Their unpopular engagement party was like a joke to others.

As if she had already expected Liang Xinyi to be unhappy, Yun Xi calmly placed the gift box on the coffee table in front of her. They were not in the same class anymore, and there were some things that she really did not want to say to Liang Xinyi.

“This is Uncle’s gift to you. You don’t treat him as a father, but he still remembers that you’re his daughter.”

Liang Xinyi glanced at the paper bag on the coffee table and frowned. A strange expression quickly disappeared from the corner of her eyes, and she looked up again with her usual arrogant attitude. “Since the gift has been delivered, you can leave now.”

She would not give Yun Xi a chance to laugh at her.

“Liang Xinyi, the three of you abandoned Uncle for wealth and status. If Uncle succeeds in the future, you’d better remember how you acted before. Don’t regret your decision and embarrass yourself in the future, or it will reflect poorly on you.”

“What has this got to do with you? Since we’ve left, we’re no longer related. Of course we won’t regret our decision!”

Her father was a stubborn official who held himself to high integrity. In her eyes, he was weak and useless. If they wanted to climb up the social ladder and lead a better life, they could not rely on him.

They did not love power but only wanted wealth and status, and he could not give them that.

Since they had already parted ways, she did not plan to give herself a chance to regret it.

Yun Xi smiled faintly and nodded. Without saying anything, she turned around and left the dressing room.

However, her indifferent attitude made Liang Xinyi feel as if she had said something wrong. She wanted to explain but felt that it was unnecessary.

Anyway, they would never return to that remote place again, so what was there to be afraid of?
