As soon as the video ended, Yun Xi heard someone opening the iron door downstairs. She got up and walked to the window to take a look.
Liang Xinyi had gotten into a lot of trouble today, and she didn’t even go back home for dinner. She had probably gone to look for her backer.
She was a high school student who had twice caused such significant incidents before. Coincidentally, she was stuffed in after getting expelled from Jing High School. There’s no way the principal and teachers of the affiliated high school didn’t feel ambivalent about it.
Importantly, Han Zhongteng himself was on dangerous grounds and could barely protect himself. And yet, he still had the energy to manage Liang Xinyi’s affairs. That’s really true love!
Yun Xi stood up, picked up the teacup from the table, and headed downstairs.
Liang Xinyi has been digging her own grave for quite some time now. Every time she experienced something embarrassing, Yun Xi gritted her teeth and resented Liang Xinyi. However, there was nothing that she could do to the young madam since she was living beneath someone else’s roof.
She had been in the Liang family for 16 years, and she had only just begun to pay for all the suffering and grievances she had suffered in Liang Xinyi’s hands!
When Yun Xi came downstairs, Liang Xiuqin grabbed Yun Ziling and sat down in the living room. They have been waiting to hash things out with Liang Xinyi ever since she came back.
The gossip had spread all over Jing High School, so as expected, Yun Ziling had already heard of the news. Right after she got back, she told Liang Xiuqin about the incident with exaggerated details.
Ever since Chen Lixue joined the Yun family, Liang Xiuqin had lost the desire to take advantage of Liang Xinyi. She could clearly see that she wasn’t Yun Xi’s opponent. Eventually, she became a lot more guarded against her, lest she and her mother steal what belongs to her.
Quarrels were forbidden at home, but ridicule and mockery were not!
As soon as Liang Xinyi came back, Chen Lixue greeted her and politely asked where she had been and whether she had had anything to eat.
Liang Xinyi was upset, and it was even more annoying to see her mother acting so innocently.
As soon as she was about to head upstairs, Liang Xinyi heard Liang Xiuqin’s high-pitched voice: “I heard that you were the one who stole the exam papers and now the school wants to expel you. It’s almost time for the college entrance exams. If you get expelled, no school will want to take you in. Don’t even bother asking your uncle for help! And don’t think about dragging our Yun family into this mess that you brought upon yourself!”
“What do you mean?” Chen Lixue looked around anxiously when she heard this. She turned her head to look at Liang Xinyi. “Xinyi, tell me what’s going on. Liang Xiuqin is just talking nonsense, right?”
Liang Xiuqin continued talking: “Auntie, what do you mean by nonsense? This is news that has already spread all over the school! And not just the affiliated high school, but in our own school as well. Not only has your daughter ruined the school’s reputation with her underage dating, but now she’s despicably stolen the final exam papers. If it wasn’t for the fact that you’re now notorious for causing a scene at school, the school board would have probably invited you for a private chat a long time ago. There’s no doubt that Liang Xinyi is going to be expelled sooner or later!”
“Shut up! You have no right to say these things!” Chen Lixue anxiously grabbed Liang Xinyi, who was keeping her head bowed down. She was frightened at the thought of being expelled.
Her daughter has always been an excellent performer at school. She always landed at the top of the list every year, even when she was in the countryside. How could she do such a thing?
“Xinyi, tell mom this isn’t true! Someone must be framing you because they’re jealous or something!”
She had to take the college entrance examination in less than half a year. What would happen if she was expelled from high school? If she didn’t get into university, she would be ruined for the rest of her life!
How can she climb the social ladder, past all the prominent families, if she can’t even get a good degree? She would just be trampled on.
Her daughter should be married into a wealthy family and become a rich madam. No matter what, she can’t let her fall to that point!
“Mom, I didn’t steal the exam paper. I’m being framed!”
Liang Xinyi was aggrieved, but she had no idea how to explain it to her mother.
Should she say Yun Xi framed her? Even if she knew that was true, she had no evidence to prove it. Yun Xi could easily refute her. In fact, Yun Xi would take the opportunity to find a way to drive Liang Xinyi out of the Yun family. All her recent efforts would go to waste!.
She never expected that she would be so unlucky!
