Chapter 291-292

Chapter 291: Ninja Turtle ... Yun Xi didn’t want to give the spoiled brat Jiang Henglin any satisfaction, because she knew very well that the only reason he’d come to offer his help to her was that Grandfather Jiang had asked him to do it. However, Jiang Henglin had wanted her to beg him for help so he could pretend that he was helping her out of his own goodwill. He wanted her to be grateful to him. And then he would be able to humiliate her and enjoy a feeling of revenge. Thinking about her having to beg him for something had made him feel happy. But Yun Xi really didn’t want to flatter someone with such a ridiculous mindset. ... Since Yun Xi had not gone to cram school on Saturday and Sunday, her homeroom teacher asked her a few questions after class and told her not to fall behind on her homework. As soon as the teacher left, Li Sinuo walked up to her and spat out coldly, “Pretentious phony!” Yun Xi looked baffled. She actually felt honored to be envied and hated by Li Sinuo so much. When school ended at noon, Zhao Yumo came to her classroom to find Yun Xi so they could eat together. They talked about how Liang Xinyi was studying in a nearby school. Han Wanling hadn’t forgotten to help Liang Xinyi make all the arrangements for her new school. This proved that she hadn’t finished using Liang Xinyi as a chess piece yet in her future machinations. The reason was simple. Liang Xinyi was one of the closest people to Yun Xi, and it could even be said that Liang Xinyi hated her more than anyone else did. Han Wanling wanted to have a person to use as a spy to deal with Yun Xi in the future, and her cousin, Liang Xinyi, was undoubtedly the most suitable choice. It was never too late for revenge. Yun Xi was looking forward to seeing Han Wanling’s improved new tactics upon her return. “I heard that Liang Xinyi is very popular with the boys in her new high school, you know...” Zhao Yumo winked, and Yun Xi immediately understood her insinuations. “She has a high level of tolerance. Compared to the high-maintenance and spoiled Yun Ziling, Liang Xinyi is more resilient! I think I’ll give her a new nickname, Ninja Turtle.” “By the way, why haven’t your parents sent her away yet since she’s caused so much trouble?” She had heard Yun Xi talk about Liang Xinyi’s unscrupulous ways, and Zhao Yumo was ticked off at the thought that this b*tch was still living with the Yun family. “My mother thinks she is lucky and keeps her around just to make me mad. My dad doesn’t take her seriously. If he didn’t think she might be useful in the future, he would have sent her back.” Moreover, she didn’t want Liang Xinyi to return to the countryside so early either. It wasn’t the time for Liang Xinyi’s family to come to Jingdu to cause trouble yet. Everything had to be delayed until she had been admitted to the university. Then she would use her aunt to cause strife between her father and her mother. If her father was promoted, she would push her father to have an extramarital affair. There are three celebratory events in a man’s life: promotion, wealth, and the death of his wife. Her father was so greedy, so these three things would definitely be the greatest joys in his life! 　 When the time came, she would be looking forward to these uproars in the Yun family. ... As she walked to the school’s entrance, a figure in dark green casual clothes suddenly ran over to her. Yun Xi was surprised. It was only after she focused that she could see the tall boy who was standing in front of her clearly. “Xiang Yuanjiu, what are you doing here?” “Yun Xi, I’m going to work in Young Marshal Mu’s company! So I want you to congratulate me!” “Congratulations!” “Yun Xi, thank you so much! If it hadn’t been for you, I wouldn’t have been able to succeed in my entire life.” “Don’t thank me. From now on, the Xiang family will rely on you for everything.” Yun Xi stood on her tiptoes and patted him on the shoulder, encouraging him like a good comrade. “Work hard! Don’t worry about your mother. Someone will arrange for her to be taken care of.” “I’ve arranged everything already. I...I’m leaving today. I don’t know when I’ll see you again, but I will keep in touch.” Yun Xi nodded. “Okay, you have to work hard from now on. I have to go eat with my friend now, so I won’t delay you any further.” Young Marshal Mu’s team members were strict about time, so she didn’t want to make him late. “Okay... Then I’m leaving. You take care!” As he said this, he gazed at her deeply. Then he frowned and ran to the car, for fear that he wouldn’t want to leave her if he stayed a moment longer. Zhao Yumo poked Yun Xi’s arm. “Don’t tell me that punk likes you?” “You are joking!” Yun Xi slapped her good-naturedly. “Let’s go, I’m starving to death. I’ll treat you to beef noodles today.” “No, I’ll treat you, because I have something to ask you.” ”Okay, but let’s talk after eating.” .......... ............ ........... Chapter 292: Steal My Right of Inheritance ... Yun Xi had planned to postpone her visit to the Chen family’s house until Tuesday afternoon. She’d wanted to make sure that her father would be anxious for another day or so. 　 If he felt that it was too easy to get her to fix all his problems, he would just keep on using her indefinitely. 　 　 The Chen family were her friends, her network, not a tool for her family to exploit whenever they’d screwed something up or needed a favor. 　 　 If she wanted to be in charge of the Yun family in the future, she would have to make certain that she maintained a good relationship with the four major clans, except for the Han family of course. 　 　 She wanted to bring down the Han family. She needed to follow Mu Feichi’s advice. She needed to prop up a new family that could provide balance to the three clans remaining after she had gotten rid of the Hans. 　 　 This was not something she could do all on her own. It was going to take time, the right opportunities, and contacts. 　 　 And, of course, she would need a strong and powerful person like Mu Feichi to back her 　 　 It was going to be easy for her to bring down the Han family, but it wasn’t going to be easy to change the power dynamic balance in Jingdu. 　 　 The number of people who could change the power dynamic balance in Jingdu could fit on the head of a pin. 　 　 Mu Feichi happened to be one of them. He was the creme de la creme of the elite. 　 　 And thus it seemed as if Young Marshal Mu had been a golden opportunity that had been delivered right on her doorstep... 　 　 She figured that she had no choice but to seize the opportunity. 　 　 “Yun Xi, I’ve heard that your medical skills are excellent. Is that true?” Zhao Yumo asked in a tentative manner while looking at her expectantly. 　 　 “What’s wrong? Aren’t you feeling well?” Yun Xi put down her chopsticks and looked at her for a bit, then touched her forehead. “You’re not sick.” 　 　 “It’s not me.” Zhao Yumo gave a detailed explanation about who was sick and she described the symptoms clearly. 　 　 It turned out that her grandfather was ill. He had been ill for more than six months. He’d seen a lot of doctors, but they seemed unable to cure him. Now, he was only surviving on pills and other medical interventions. 　 　 Moreover, the doctors that he was seeing had been hired by her ambitious uncles and aunts, and they wouldn’t give her any real information on her grandfather’s illness. 　 　 “They say that Grandpa has Alzheimer’s, which is just nonsense!” 　 　 Yun Xi vaguely understood the situation of Zhao Yumo’s family. She frowned as she asked, “Is your father the eldest son? Are you the only daughter?” 　 　 Zhao Yumo nodded. “Yes, my dad is the eldest son, but he’s kind of meek. I am the eldest granddaughter, and I will inherit the Zhao family businesses in the future. But my second uncle has a son, who is considered the eldest grandson. My second uncle and aunt are trying everything they can to keep me out of any of our family’s business affairs because they want to steal my right of inheritance.” 　 　 As soon as this matter was mentioned, Zhao Yumo became visibly annoyed. “D*mn it! I am the eldest granddaughter!” 　 　 Yun Xi thought about it for a while. “I can go to your house. If your grandfather is not sick, maybe your second aunt and uncle are making him take medicine to make him seem sick.” 　 　 Zhao Yumo was taken aback by this thought. She quickly stood up. “Then let’s go now!” 　 　 Yun Xi looked at the time. “It’s too late now. After school this afternoon, I will go home with you. You shouldn’t say that I’m here to see your grandpa’s condition, but only that I’m a classmate who has come to hang out with you in your home.” 　 　 “Okay, I get it. Those heartless, greedy people would never believe you know about medicine anyway.” ... After school, Zhao Yumo took Yun Xi home with her in her driver’s car. They headed straight to the Zhao family’s house on the Beidi. 　 　 As soon as the car drove into the driveway of the villa area, Zhao Yumo showed her which houses belonged to her uncles and aunts. 　 In her previous life, Yun Xi didn’t know much about the Zhao family. Now, after seeing how they lived with her own eyes, she realized that the Zhao family was probably no less affluent than the four clans. 　 　 It was no wonder that her relatives had started to get greedy when the old man became ill. 　 　 The car stopped at the door of the villa, and Yun Xi gazed at the magnificent old villa in front of her. 　 　 If the Beidi had existed in her previous life, every inch of the land would have been exorbitantly priced. The price of a villa like this would have been at least a million. 　 　 She hadn’t expected Zhao Yumo’s family to be so wealthy, much more filthy rich than she had thought. 　 　 As if pondering something, she couldn’t help turning her head to look at the girl beside her. “Yu Mo, are you really the same age as I am?” 　 　 “I’m one year older than you are.” Zhao Yumo smiled at Yun Xi. “I’m 17 now, and I will be 18, an adult, in June of next year.” 　 　 Yun Xi nodded. “Have you thought about what it means, inheriting the Zhao family wealth and businesses?” 　 　 “Do I need to think about it? It is rightfully mine!” 　 　 Yun Xi smiled but didn’t say anything. Thinking and doing were two different things. It might not be so easy to inherit the Zhao family’s wealth and businesses and all that would entail.
