Chapter 347: Chase Her Away!
Editor: Millman97
Every member of the Xi family was person of importance. The fact that most of them had to beg her to stay greatly soothed her inflated ego. She knew where to draw the line; plus, for the sake of future plans, she couldn鈥檛 cross the Xi family outright.
"Grandfather Xi, Auntie, and Uncles, since you鈥檝e said so then it would seem inappropriate for me to leave just that that. However, how could a junior like me trouble auntie and uncles to accompany me? Since Big Brother Xi is busy, how about asking that lady to accompany me," Lin Yun smiled as she turned towards Xinghe.
Xinghe raised her eyes slowly, she was rather bewildered as to why she鈥檇 been drawn into this political song and dance. Mubai darkened his eyes instantly. Even Grandfather Xi paused for a moment...
Lin Yun took in the shift in their expression and proffered an innocent smile like she didn鈥檛 know any better. "This lady looks like an old friend of mine, so I would like to spend some time with her. Of course, between her and Big Brother Xi, I don鈥檛 mind either one."
Lin Yun was purposely putting them in a tough spot. Since Mubai didn鈥檛 give her face first, then she was going to target the woman that he seemed to care about. If the Xi family dared to reject her again, then she would have more than enough reason to not be decorous anymore.
The whole Xi family knew she was purposely giving them a hard time. If this was before, no one would鈥檝e dared treat them this way. However, they needed her help so they had to accept being bossed around by a little girl.
Grandfather Xi鈥檚 face was drawn but eventually he suggested solemnly, "Xinghe, since Xiao Yun appears to have a liking for you, why don鈥檛 you spend a day with her?"
"That鈥檚 right, Xinghe. Since Mubai is not free, why don鈥檛 you accompany Xiao Yun on his behalf?" Mrs. Xi urged, the hint couldn鈥檛 be more obvious.
This was make or break for the Xi family and they desperately needed Xinghe鈥檚 cooperation.
Xinghe was a paragon of serenity, she kept her calm countenance. However, Mubai couldn鈥檛 help but scoff out loud. He raised his eyes to look at Lin Yun. Even though he was sitting down and she was standing, it felt like he was looking down on her.
"Miss Lin, our Xi family might have come to you for help but that doesn鈥檛 mean it gives you the right to lord over us. You鈥檙e too much of a nothing to boss the members of the Xi family around, much less her. If you want to see City T so much, there鈥檚 the door. Please."
"You!" Lin Yun widened her eyes in anger. Her face was red from fury. She didn鈥檛 think Mubai would dare to disrespect her so openly! He dared to chase her away!
Grandfather Xi knew things were going south fast. Before he could say a word, Mrs. Xi quickly berated Mubai, "Mubai, how can you talk to Xiao Yun in that manner. Xiao Yun, let鈥檚 leave him be. Come, follow Auntie because Auntie has a present for you, it鈥檚 a diamond necklace worth tens of thousands of dollars..."
"Not necessary!" Lin Yun shrugged Mrs. Xi off. She glowered angrily at them. "Don鈥檛 you think your Xi family has acted out of line? Have you invited me to get insulted? I鈥檓 leaving now and I鈥檓 telling my grandfather how you鈥檝e treated me!"
"Xiao Yun, please don鈥檛 be mad..." Mrs. Xi was quick to console her. At the same time, she gave Mubai and Xinghe an evil glare. The two of them were simply too rash.
It was not like they didn鈥檛 know the Xi family鈥檚 situation. It was one thing if they didn鈥檛 want to help but did they have to anger Lin Yun?
This would only make things worse for the Xi family.
No matter how Mrs. Xi and Mr. Xi tried to comfort Lin Yun, her anger wouldn鈥檛 dissipate.
Not only that, her sense of entitlement was slowly surfacing.
"Fine, if you want to me to not be angry, I demand an apology!" Lin Yun pointed at Xinghe and Mubai, and ordered haughtily, "I want a sincere apology from the both of them. If not, then I鈥檓 leaving right this moment and your Xi family can handle your trouble on your own!"
