Chapter 451-452

Chapter 451: Freedom to Not See People I Don’t Want to See 　 Since this involved her life, Yun Xi had to readjust her plans and preparations. After getting out of school that day, four or five men in tailored suits stopped her as soon as she walked out of the school gates. Yun Xi glanced at their ears with headsets plugged in and their upright physiques, and she’d already guessed their identities. The leading man spoke respectfully to her. “Miss Yun, Madame wants to see you.” Yun Xi glanced at them and then asked casually, “Is it the young madame here?” The man seemed surprised that she’d asked that, and he nodded. “The young madame has just come from home where she went to visit her mother.” 　 　 Yun Xi smiled and said, “Sorry, I’m not free today.” She wasn’t so stupid as to go to the Si family’s mansion to put up with Si Wenxuan’s attitude. The man was caught off guard by her refusal. “She wants to see you. Do you think you can refuse?” “At the very least, it seems that I still have the freedom to not see people I don’t want to see.” Chuckling, Yun Xi glanced at the car coming down the street, and noticing the license number, she ran out into the main road before the bodyguard could react. “Feng Yang, open the door!” She yelled as she rushed toward the car. Feng Yang had come to ask her for the meal she owed him for the favor he’d performed for her. He definitely hadn’t expected to see a large group of people chasing her as his car approached the school gates. He slammed on the brakes and unlocked the door. Yun Xi ran over, opened the door, and jumped into the car, all in one move. With his eyes calm, Feng Yang quickly started the car. In the rearview mirror, he looked at the men in black who were chasing her. “Why are the bodyguards of the Si family chasing you?” “Huh? Oh, they said Madame wanted to see me, so I ran away because I don’t have the free time.” The operation on the Madame was confidential, and she’d never told anyone about it, so she just made a random excuse. 　 　 “The Madame of the Si family wanted to see you? Who did you offend this time?” “I didn’t offend anyone. I just don’t want to see her. It’s not right that they can abduct me, is it?” Yun Xi smiled and then glanced at the bodyguards who were far behind. She sat there with peace of mind. Seeing that she didn’t want to say anything, Feng Yang didn’t ask any further questions. He just changed the topic, saying, “I’ve heard that your mother wants to move back into the villa complex.” Upon the mention of this, Yun Xi couldn’t help but chuckle. “Yeah! I don’t know who smashed up her shop, but fearing that no one would know if she was killed, she lives in worry every day. The clubhouse is finished, so she’s trying to goad Yun Ziling into convincing my dad to allow her to go back.” Yun Ziling had tried to persuade him for a long time but to no avail. Why? Because the huge mountain known as the Su family was pressuring Yun Yuanfeng! The pressure from the Su family had not only a great impact on Yun Yuanfeng’s work but also directly affected her third uncle’s corporate projects. Yun Yuanfeng and Yun Qingfeng had a lot of mutually beneficial projects, but their work didn’t allow them to cross paths very often. They just helped each other when needed. Her third uncle was waiting for her father to help him get rich, and her father was also waiting for her third uncle to make him rich. As soon as the general manager put pressure on Yun Yuanfeng, many projects fell through. Naturally, her father didn’t dare give any favors to her third uncle. 　 　 If the project wasn’t approved, the people below them could only wait. They couldn’t carry out any work. How could he not feel anxious? Therefore, even her third uncle despised Liang Xiuqin’s troublemaking. It wouldn’t have mattered if she had offended someone else, but she just had to offend one of the four prominent families. No way would she be allowed to return. However, Yun Xi would let her mother come back, just not now. “By the way, were you passing by here or picking up your sister from school?” “I came to look for you. You still owe me a meal.” Yun Xi thought about it. That incident had indeed been resolved all thanks to his help. Yun Xi carefreely patted the back of Feng Yang’s seat. “Okay, let’s go. I’ll treat you. Order whatever you want, but nothing too expensive since I’m kind of broke. What do you want to eat? You pick a place.” “That’s fine. Let’s eat hot pot. I happen to have something I need your help on.” *** Chapter 452: Waiting for Her Opportunity to Make a Move 　 While they were eating lunch, Feng Yang took out a few photos and handed them to Yun Xi. “Looks like your cousin has gotten really interesting.” “Liang Xinyi?” Yun Xi was stunned. She hurriedly grabbed the photos and glanced at them. In the photos, as well as Liang Xinyi, there was a man who looked vaguely familiar. She carefully searched her memories from her previous life and quickly remembered who this man was. Raising her head abruptly, she looked at Feng Yang with some curiosity. She asked jokingly, “Okay, why are you targeting her?” 　 　 “My goal wasn’t her, it was the man in the photos with her. I just happened to get the photos of her. I remembered that you didn’t seem to like her very much, and I was worried that she could be searching for a chance to scheme against you. You should be careful.” Yun Xi nodded, and her eyes got dark and serious as she stared at the photos. “I know, I will be careful.” She’d thought that Liang Xinyi would keep a low profile after having spent time in jail at the police station. In addition, her main supporter, Liang Xiuqin, was absent, having been kicked out of the house, and she herself had been forced to transfer to another school. Because of all these changes, the two of them rarely saw each other, and Yun Xi was surprised that Liang Xinyi would dare to act rashly on her own. Unexpectedly, it turned out she wasn’t afraid at all and had simply been waiting for the right opportunity to make a move. There were few things worth her taking action about recently, and the only matter worthy of her seeking help from the Han family in the name of Han Wanling was probably a bid to let Liang Xiuqin return to the Yun family home. In order for Liang Xiuqin to be able to return to the Yun family home, first of all, she must settle her debt with the Su family. It wasn’t that Yun Xi couldn’t do it, but she simply didn’t want to do it. Therefore, Liang Xinyi had asked the Han family for help. But Han Wanling wasn’t going to help her unconditionally. She definitely would demand something from Liang Xiuqin. Very good, then Yun Xi decided she would use Liang Xinyi to let her mother return to the Yun family’s house. 　 　 She’d originally planned to let Liang Xiuqin come back, but now, since Liang Xinyi had done it, the time would be sooner than she’d expected. But it didn’t matter, since Liang Xiuqin wouldn’t enjoy the same treatment as before in the Yun family’s house. The current Yun family was headed by her second aunt in name, but the actual power was in Yun Xi’s hands. Even though Liang Xiuqin wanted to come back, Yun Xi naturally wouldn’t let her come back so easily. “Is the Su family still putting pressure on my dad?” Feng Yang nodded. “As you wished, although Su Ximan doesn’t want to be used by you, because she doesn’t want you to gain a huge advantage. She can only keep fussing about that incident. Otherwise, the Su family has no excuse to pressure the Yun family.” After a pause, Feng Yang fished the hot meat out of the bowl in front of him. “However, this isn’t a long-term solution. If you want your mother to stay out of the house, I’m afraid you’ll have to find another way.” Yun Xi narrowed her eyes and smiled at him, concealing the emotions in her eyes. “It’s okay, even if I let my mother come back, my plans can still continue.” ... As soon as Yun Xi returned to the Yun family’s house, she heard Yun Ziling complaining to Yun Yuanfeng again. Yun Yuanfeng looked impatient. As Liang Xiuqin’s spokesperson, Yun Ziling was fighting hard to get her mother back in the house. 　 　 Chuckling mockingly, Yun Xi turned her head and looked at Liang Xinyi, who appeared quite calm. She couldn’t help but marvel over how composed Liang Xinyi was acting. Before the Han family gave her a satisfactory answer, she wouldn’t act rashly, lest their plans fall through and she would become a laughingstock. It seemed that during this period of time, she had learned much about the art of scheming at her new school. When she went upstairs and returned to her room, Yun Xi immediately saw the figure sitting by her bed reading a book. She had already gotten used to this sight. After locking the door, she stepped forward and put down her backpack. Before she could do anything else, the man on the bed yanked her toward him. Caught off guard, she staggered and was just about to reach out her hand to use the table for balance, but the mean-spirited Mu Feichi used his foot to trip her. Yun Xi’s legs went slack, and soon she was sitting on the side of the bed. “Mu Feichi, what are you doing?” After falling on the bed after being tripped, Yun Xi raised her head and looked at him. Unexpectedly, she saw fury in his deep eyes, and his handsome face appeared gloomy.
