    Coincidentally, Yao Ying had juste home and could not help but turn to


    look at Liang Xiuqin and Yun Ziling when she heard Yun Xi’s words.


    She knew Liang Xiugin’s financial standing. Forget tens of thousands, she


    could barely afford a 1,000-yuan dress. Seeing as how she did not have any


    ie now, there was no way she could buy whatever she pleased so casually


    Especially not a hand-made dress by The Beauty. No matter how she thought


    about it, it did not seem like it was something she could afford.


    “Second Aunt, you’re back!” Yun Xi turned her head. Liang Xiugin was afraid


    that she would ask further questions, so she hurried over and pulled Yun Ziling


    up.


    Before leaving, Yun Ziling asked curiously, “Sister, you’re not going to the


    party hosted by the Jiangs tonight, are you?


    “I gave the only two invitations I could get my hands on to you both, didn’t 1? If


    Mom doesn’t wanna go, you can give me your invitation, and I’ll go instead of


    you.”


    There was no way Liang Xiugin would give up the chance to attend such an


    event. Thus, as soon as she spoke, Liang Xiugin rushed to interrupt he.


    The invitation has my name on it. What does it have to do with you? Your


    sister and I will suffice to represent our family at the party. Why would you


    need to go? Do you even have a formal dress?


    Yun Xi shrugged. Hearing Liang Xiuqin’s response, she stopped dillydallying


    and waved her off coolly. “Then, you better get going. Don’t waste your time


    around here. Second Aunt, shall we go have some soup in the dining room and


    have a talk?”


    “Okay.” Yao Ying nced at the mother-and-daughter pair and knew that Yun


    Xi had something to say to her, so she did not say anything else. She turned


    around and went right into the dining room.


    As soon as the two of them were alone, Yao Ying immediately looked at Yun Xi


    and asked in a hushed tone, “What has happened? When did your mother get so


    rich? Did she have some rainy day fund secretly stashed away?


    That’s impossible! Didn’t she spend every single penny she had on herself,


    buying clothes and hiring herself a tutor just to win back my dad’s heart? Im


    afraid she may have even used up all of Yun Ziling’s dowry money. There’s no


    way she has anything left.”


    “Then how could she afford that dress for Yun ziling? I’ve heard of thebel


    called The Beauty. Their dresses cost a fortune. It’s highly rare for people in


    Jingdu to be able to afford a dress like that. No matter how much she was


    willing to spend to spoil that Yun Ziling, there’s no way she would dump so


    much money just for that, right?”


    “Of course not. She actually snatched the dress from the cashier of the


    boutique. She merely left 1,000 yuan on the counter and fled the scene when no


    one was watching. Second Master jiang and I happened to pass by at the time.


    The boutique belongs to his cousin, so he helped pay for the rest. Otherwise,


    she wouldn’t be sitting at home safe and sound. She wouldve been locked away


    at the police station by now.”


    Yun Xi did not tell her second aunt about her ploy and just briefly talked about


    what had happened. After all, her aunt was a senior whom she respected. She


    didn’t want her to see her dark side.


    “Snatch? That’s stealing! How could Liang Xiuqin’s brain even think of sucha


    stupid thing to do? And she even had you clean up her mess. What absolute


    nonsense


    “For the sake of Yun Ziling, what idiocy won’t she do? Yun Xi sneered. Then


    she lowered her head and took out an entrance exam brochure for studies


    abroad and handed it to her. This is apetitive entrance exam for foreign


    universities. If you have time, you should bring Haozhe to participate in the


    petition. If his grades are good, foreign universities will give priority to


    admissions, and then hell have the hance to study abroad. Compared with the


    petitive environment here, foreign countries are rtively liberating”


    Local exam-oriented education was different from foreign education. Since she


    had been rebon, she knew of the pressure he would face in their country’s


    future climate. It was better for Yun Haozhe to learn abroad before returning to


    work in China. That way he could avoid the pressure of studying in their home


    country.


    Yao Ying’s greatest hopes were in this son, so of course she was happy to know


    that Yun Xi was concerned for Yun Haozhe’s future.


    “Okay, Tll pass it to him when I pick him upter. Ill let him talk to you if he


    needs help understanding the details


    Yun Xi nodded. After informing the housekeeper that she was leaving, she


    packed up her things. Without hanging around much longer, she left home and


    headed straight for the sentry post at Tianyu Mountain.
