Chapter 628-629

Chapter 628: Probably Die From Anger Right! 　 After dinner, the second aunt headed upstairs to speak to Yun Xi. She brought along the list of gifts that needed to be prepared for the New Year. Chen Lixue spied her climbing the stairs holding the notebook. She immediately assumed that the second aunt was going upstairs to make a secret settlement with Yun Xi. She thought that something shameful was going on. “Second aunt, where are you going? Are you hiding something in the New Year’s gift list? Why are you personally bringing it upstairs yourself?” Upon hearing what Chen Lixue said, Yao Ying looked down at the bill in her hand. She chuckled lightly and stopped at the top of the stairs, looking down at everyone else in the living room. It seemed like everyone had heard Chen Lixue’s words, and were looking at her expectantly. 　 　 She could understand what they were thinking, but she just wanted to slap them for being so gullible. “You mean this receipt? I’m taking it up to Yun Xi so I can show her what I’ve bought this year. Yun Xi is the eldest daughter and the eldest young madam in this family. In the future, this family will be inherited by her, so I have to explain to her clearly what was bought and used at home. I’m only temporarily in charge in her place. She’ll be the one taking over soon.” After the second aunt made her speech, Liang Xiuqin’s face fell, and even Chen Lixue looked like she was out of words. Chen Lixue was filled with regret. If she had treated Yun Xi better since the beginning, their relationship would have been so much smoother. And Yun Xi probably wouldn’t regard her as an enemy! Especially now, considering Yun Xi’s estranged relationship with Liang Xiuqin. If Chen Lixue were to side with Yun Xi and confront Liang Xiuqin, Liang Xiuqin would probably die from anger right! Chen Lixue felt especially resentful, especially from the recent suffering she had suffered from Liang Xiuqin and that wretched Yun Xi. The grievances suffered by her baby daughter only made things worse! And now, she had just discovered from the second aunt that the Yun family offered the master of the house a yearly living expense of one hundred thousand yuan. That’s one hundred thousand yuan, not ten yuan! That amount of money was more than enough for her to live an extravagant life. And she would be able to enjoy that life for many years! Liang Xiuqin had been the master of the house for so many years, and it was obvious that she was embezzling money. Anyone could see that she squandered her money. You could make more money by being the master of the house than by going out to work! 　 　 And Chen Lixue couldn’t help but think that the position of the master of the Yun family should belong to her! Had it not been for that b*tchh Liang Xiuqin robbing her of her man, she would not be in this position today! With these thoughts heavy on her mind, Chen Lixue felt anger welling up inside her heart. Meanwhile, the second aunt was upstairs describing the situation in the living room to Yun Xi. Yun Xi wasn’t surprised, and simply reminded her second aunt. “You and I both know what my aunt is planning. She’s been following you around so carefully during this New Year preparation. I’m sure you’re aware of what she wants to do.” Yao Ying nodded. “I know, and I’ve said everything you told me to reveal. But I won’t say what shouldn’t be said. Your aunt has more brains than your mother, so I’m always careful and on guard around her. Don’t worry about me.” “I know. But second aunt, I’ll have to trouble you to help me with the family affairs for one more year. After I finish the college entrance examination and am an adult, I will learn slowly with you!” “Take your time. Learning is more important. I’m not like your mother, who is impatient with these kinds of things. When you take over and my son is admitted to a college, your second uncle and I can go out to have fun and enjoy a couple’s world. “I really envy you, second aunt!” Yun Xi smiled. She suddenly remembered Yumo’s Grandpa, so she brought up the Chinese patent medicine liquid to Yao Ying. “Look, nowadays, it’s not easy for most people to prepare medicine pots for decoction at home. And if they bought them from a pharmacy, people who aren’t chronically ill will only take one or two doses, then let the rest of the medicine go to waste. If we can turn the Chinese traditional medicine into medicinal liquid, we can package it into handy, portable pills. It will be convenient and simple. It’s even better if you can work with the hospital. You can get the decoction directly from the hospital and let the patient take the medicine in the Chinese pharmacy. It will save time. Second aunt, you’ve managed the pharmaceutical factory for so many years, so you should have connections with the hospital right?” “Yes, that sounds like a very good idea. Let me go back and think about it, then I will give you an answer when you return from camp.” “Great!” 　 *** Chapter 629: He’s Got The Guts 　 The winter camp training has begun. Yun Xi and Zhao Yumo made an appointment to meet at the location of the winter camp training center, the Kyoto Institute of Biological Sciences. The Jingdu Institute of Biological Sciences was affiliated with the Jingdu University. On this occasion, it was collaborating with the Organizing Committee of the National Biology Competition to organize this training camp. The purpose of the camp was to award top talents for the country, but at the same time, it also retains some of the top talents for the country. 　 　 Yun Xi stepped into the Academy of Sciences. The architecture around her was both new yet familiar. Memories of her past life flooded into her brain and overwhelmed her. Once upon a time, she had spent countless days and nights in the laboratory of the Academy of Sciences. She was once the protégé of an academic and professor, but she had abandoned her promising career for a man. She had given up on her sacred duties to step into the world of business, and eventually, she had grown into a strong businesswoman. But her desperation for love left her dead, with her body in pieces. Looking back at her past life, Yun Xi couldn’t help but notice the irony. “Yun Xi? Yun Xi!” Zhao Yumo called out to her, waiting for her response. She waved her hand in front of Yun Xi’s face until she came back to her senses. “Huh? What’s the matter?” Yun Xi blinked innocently and looked blankly at Yumo, who was staring back at her. “Why are you looking at me like that?” “I thought there was something wrong with you! Are you okay? Are you uncomfortable?” “No, I’m okay.” Yun Xi shook her head and pointed her chin at the school gate with a half-hearted smile. “I was just thinking... Zhou Chengzhe’s final exam was canceled, so do you think he’s got the guts to attend this winter camp training?” “Why wouldn’t he?” Zhao Yumo snorted. “He’s got the guts. If you don’t believe me, just wait.” Zhao Yumo had dealt with Zhou Chengzhe for three years. She could even predict which exam questions he would get wrong! She would surely know what he was going to do next. 　 　 Yun Xi placed her hand on the handle of her trolley bag, then waited idly as more and more classmates showed up. Soon, almost everyone had arrived. The person in charge of the training camp and the members of the organizing committee were also late. Yun Xi counted the number of people present and realized that they were only two people short. Just as the starting time was approaching, a voice came from the group of students: “Teacher, Professor, I’m sorry! We were stuck in a traffic jam on the road!” Mr. Lu Zhiwei, the person in charge of the competition and the training camp, looked up from the roster in his hands and glanced at the two late arrivals. He nodded his acknowledgment and flipped through the roster to start the roll call. Yun Xi turned her to Zhou Chengzhe, who had taken up the space next to her, and another classmate wearing the uniform of the affiliated high school. Her eyes quickly swept over Zhou Chengzhe’s suitcase and backpack. It was only a ten-day training camp and yet, Zhou Chengzhe had packed more things than she did. Whether it contained things that weren’t allowed at the camp was something that was worth investigating. Zhou Chengzhe glared back fiercely when he caught Yun Xi staring at him. He instinctively tightened his grip on his trolley case, as if there was something valuable in it. Yun Xi had a hunch based on what she observed. She turned away to look at the training teacher, but her thin lips curled up into a devious smile. Zhou Chengzhe was just asking for trouble, so no one could blame Yun Xi for being so devious. She made a promise to herself, that during the period of this winter camp training, she would finally deal with this problematic person. He won’t be able to cause any trouble for her during the college entrance examination. She had to do it now, since she probably would not have any time to deal with him then! There were no tasks on the first day. After the assembly, the students were assigned their dormitory rooms. Yun Xi, Zhao Yumo, and the other two affiliated high school students, Zhang Peipei and Jian Junling, were assigned to the same dormitory room. Zhang Peipei was the head of the dorm. Zhang Peipei was a little surprised to be named the head of the dorm by Teacher Lu Zhiwei. She had assumed that it would be Yun Xi, and she never would have guessed that it would be herself. She nervously looked at Yun Xi, expecting her to be angry or jealous. But when she saw that Yun Xi was happily applauding and nodding her approval, Zhang Peipei felt encouraged. She was suddenly a little more fond of the top-ranking student.
