Chapter 241-242

Chapter 241: Jealousy ....... There was a time difference between the two locations where they were. It was still noon where Mu Feichi was, but it was already nighttime in Yun Xi’s home. Accustomed as she was to see him suddenly appear in her room, Yun Xi wasn’t surprised that he had hacked into her computer. “Young Master Mu, may I ask you what you mean by this?” “Do you really have no idea what I mean?” “I guess I’m just blind!” Other people send goose feathers from thousands of miles away, yet he’s hacked into her computer as if he had every right in the world to do so. What else could he mean? Every time he saw her, he was either climbing into a window or hacking into a computer and being so secretive as if they were having a secret affair. “It’s okay, I’m not really blind.” “...” Mu Feichi smiled, fixed his gaze on her face, and said lazily, “I heard that you won your little game.” “Young Marshal Mu is really very well informed.” “What reward do you want?” This question made it seem as if he were coaxing a child with a pampering and indulgent tone, so Yun Xi couldn’t help but shake her pen angrily. Yun Xi’s eyes flashed with fire. It was possible to see a faint gleam in the depths of Yun Xi’s eyes. “Anything...?” She asked hesitatingly. “As long as it’s not for the sake of any other men.” “Then there is nothing that I want!” He had clearly guessed what she actually wanted, and he had vetoed this desire before she had even spoken about it. “If one wants to work in the Mu Group, one mustn’t be afraid of death.” 　 　 “Xiang Yuanjiu is a gangster. He’s not a no-do-gooder!” “You’ve only known him for a few days, yet you think you know him well?” There was a bit of contempt and sourness in his deep voice. He’d wanted to see her face from 1,000 miles away just to express his jealousy over Xiang Yuanjiu? What a pain in the neck! “I don’t know him very well, but he isn’t irresponsible.” “A man can easily be responsible, but a man’s responsibility needs to be shaped by the ordeals of life, so he can be mentally prepared.” “Then you agree?” As soon as she heard him say this, she immediately got closer to the screen in her excitement, and hints of joy could be seen on her delicate-featured smooth face. Looking at her, Mu Feichi smiled helplessly. She really was an easily satisfied little cat. “You have spoken so eloquently for him, so how can I not agree?” As long as she wanted something, as long as he could give it to her, he would give her anything. “Oh, thank you!” Now that she had his consent, she felt relieved of a large burden. 　 　 Upon seeing the casually dressed man in the light green shirt who had been in the video, she suddenly remembered watching the interview on TV. “Young Marshal Mu is seeking a potential partner from all the women in the world? Your marriage requirements seem really high!” There were very few women in Jingdu who were on a par with him. Besides the fact that he had high standards, for a man as exceptional as he was, only a woman equally as exemplary was qualified to stand by his side. This would be conducive to a harmonious family and world... Conducive to a peaceful world... She was curious as to what woman he would choose to be qualified to stand by his side. Mu Feichi gazed at her leisurely with a faint smile at the corners of his mouth. There was a soulful expression in his deep, dark eyes. He’d never accepted media interviews, but today he’d made an exception. The words that he’d said to the camera had indeed only been addressed to her. As for the woman who could stand beside him, no one but Yun Xi was qualified. “Well, do you want to take up the challenge?” Yun Xi’s heart lurched. Knowing that it was impossible, she couldn’t help but laugh. With narrowed eyes, Yun Xi deliberately asked with her chin raised, “Accept the challenge of becoming the wife of the Mu Family’s heir?” “What do you think?” “Young Marshal Mu, don’t make fun of me. I am still young, and I don’t have that much ambition.” “I can wait! The position as the wife of the Mu Family’s heir is a golden opportunity, so don’t you want to try to fill it?” 　 　 “It’s too much. I’m afraid it’s way too much for me to undertake.” “With me, you’ll be able to bear it. I’ll take care of you.” “...” This topic was too awkward to continue. Coughing lightly, she pinched the bridge of her nose to relieve the feeling of awkwardness she felt at this moment. “When will you be back?” “Why, do you miss me?” “Can’t you speak seriously for one minute?” Yun Xi bit her lips and glared at him. The anger in her glare shocked the man who was sitting in a hotel room in a different country. If this had been in the middle of the night, he would have suffered insomnia until dawn. “What’s wrong?” “Nothing. I will wait until you come back.” She had to say thank you to him in person for helping her. ....... ............   ............ Chapter 242: Pushed Out as a Scapegoat .... After finishing up the video call, Mu Feichi took out his phone and dialed a number. 　 　 The phone was quickly picked up, and a man’s respectful voice sounded on the other end, “Young Marshal Mu!” 　 　 “Han Wanling has suffered extreme humiliation from being forced to stay in the police station, so she will definitely try to exact revenge against the Yun family. I want you to pass the word on, no one should dare to touch Yun Yuanfeng. If anyone listens to Han Wanling and ruthlessly attacks the Yun family, do what you must!” 　 　 His deep voice echoed in the quiet room, and the ferocity of his tone revealed the decisive coldness of a high-ranking person in charge. 　 　 On the other end of the phone, Qi Yuan quickly understood what he meant. “Young Marshal Mu, you don’t want anyone else to know about your relationship with Yun Xi, am I right?” 　 Everyone in Jingdu now knows that Han Wanling has offended Young Marshal Mu, but they don’t know that Yun Xi is involved in any way. 　 　 Han Wanling has caused a huge ruckus about this, and the Yun family will definitely suspect that there is bad blood between Yun Xi and Han Wanling. 　 　 Once the Yun family finds out that Yun Xi is involved with Young Marshal Mu, with Yun Yuanfeng’s greed, Yun Xi will become merely a chess piece that her father will move back and forth. 　 　 “Just pass on the message that I told you.” Mu Feichi did not answer Qi Yuan’s question and directly ended the conversation. 　 　 “Yes, boss! I will pass on the order!” 　 　 After hanging up the phone, Mu Feichi stared at the video that had just been recorded. Upon seeing the young girl on the screen, he couldn’t help but smile. 　 　 Originally, he’d wanted to deal with Han Wanling by himself, but since Yun Xi had enjoyed dealing with her so much, he’d decided to let her get on with it. 　 　 No matter how much of a ruckus she stirred up, he would always have her back. 　 　 ... 　 　 With the news about Han Wanling being taken to the police station, as well as the inside story that Yun Xi had leaked to the media, the headlines the next morning were extremely juicy. 　 　 At the dining table, Yun Ziling patted the newspaper and looked at Yun Xi mockingly. 　 “Sister, did you use this incident to frame your cousin and send her to prison? You have also embarrassed the eldest daughter of the Han family. How impressive!” 　 　 Originally, Yun Yuanfeng hadn’t known what had happened, but now that the Han family was involved, he couldn’t help feeling nervous. 　 　 “Yun Xi, what was the issue? How could you offend Miss Han’s family?” 　 　 “Dad, I didn’t. I just got back from the countryside. How could I have even met the eldest lady of the Han family? Miss Han caused drama at our school yesterday by instructing Liang Xinyi to steal something with help from a gangster. Unfortunately, I had previously saved the gangster in a different incident, so he broke Han Wanling’s confidence and accused her of the crime as a gesture of gratitude to me. The police happened to be there, and they all went to the police station.” 　 　 “Then what’s the issue with your cousin? How does she know Miss Han?” 　 　 After having had a fight with Liang Xiuqin yesterday, he wasn’t in the mood to pay any attention to Liang Xinyi. 　 　 However, when the news had broken today, he’d realized that this was no small matter. 　 　 “I don’t know. She has been going out early and returning late lately. I think she has been working hard to become friends with Miss Han and her entourage. It also could be just a coincidence. However, Liang Xinyi did steal something and she was captured by the surveillance camera.” 　 　 Yun Xi took a sip of her soy milk and raised her head indifferently. “As for whether or not it will offend the Han family...” 　 　 Liang Xiuqin put down her chopsticks with a bang and snorted coldly. “I think you’re the one who has offended the Han family, isn’t that so? I also want to ask, what sort of grudge do you have against Miss Han for you to go out of your way to deal with her. Don’t you know it will drag down the Yun family? Can we afford to offend the Han family?” 　 “Mom, you’re so hilarious. Wasn’t it Liang Xinyi who offended Han Wanling? It has nothing to do with me. She was the one who stole the things. If the Han family is really looking for trouble, they can simply make Liang Xinyi their scapegoat. Besides, she is an outsider and has nothing to do with the Yun family.” 　 　 “You shut up!” Liang Xiuqin felt furious when she heard that perhaps Liang Xinyi was going to be pushed out as a scapegoat. 　 　 Yun Xi was already conspiring against Liang Xinyi. How sly of her! 　 　 “If the Han family condemns the Yun family, I will settle accounts with you first.” 　 　 Yun Xi sneered. “Mom, you really don’t know right from wrong!” 　 　 “Enough, shut up, you two,” Yun Yuanfeng yelled impatiently. “If the Han family really comes looking for trouble, we can get rid of Liang Xinyi. Yun Xi is right. She is an outsider. Dealing with her will not involve the Yun family!” 　 　 “Husband! She is also your niece, so how can you be so ruthless?” 　 　 “Whether my niece or my biological daughter is more important, I know the answer better than you do!” 　 　 Without bothering to speak to her any further, Yun Yuanfeng picked up the car keys and promptly went out the door.
