Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten

Chapter 50: She Finally Returned to Her Battlefield

When Yun Xi stepped into the threshold of the Yuns’ home, she stood in the very familiar living room and finally felt like she was actually reborn.

She was back again after all these years!

Looking at the group of people sitting in the living room, her eyes quickly scanned around to see that the entire Yun family was here.

Yun Xi wasn’t surprised to see them at all.

In fact, she felt some excitement and giddiness.

It wasn’t because of her affection for family, but because this was her battlefield.

They were all her family—the family that hadn’t given her any warmth in her previous lifetime. Today, they were all fish in her net.

Compared to Liang Xiuqin’s ashamed and defeated look, Yun Xi was in a fairly good mood.

After being introduced to everyone by her grandfather, she began to greet all her elders, one by one.

Her grandfather had three sons but no daughters. His eldest son was Yun Xi’s father, Yun Yuanfeng. In the course of more than ten years, he had risen from a minor team leader to Deputy Director but hadn’t been able to advance further.

Yun Yuanfeng had three daughters, including Yun Xi. Yun Xi was the eldest, followed by Yun Ziling and Yun Chuhan.

Yun Xi’s second uncle suffered from frail health, but her second aunt was a strong woman. She came from an extraordinarily wealthy family, so no one dared to provoke her easily.

There was one male discontent in the family, and he was her second uncle’s precious son, Yun Haozhe. He was three years younger than Yun Xi and the same age as Yun Ziling.

It was also because her second uncle had a son that caused Liang Xiuqin to hate Yun Xi even more for cursing her own son to death.

Her third uncle, Yun Qingfeng, was a businessman and relied on his older brother’s relationships. The two brothers collaborated and traversed throughout the business world for many years, so he was now regarded as one of the wealthiest men in Jingdu.

Yun Qingfeng had one daughter, Yun Kexin. She was the same age as Yun Chuhan, yet she was Grandfather Yun’s favorite grandchild.

After her third uncle made his fortune from business, he purchased two plots of land near the villa complex and built two villas—one for himself and one for Grandfather Yun.

Grandfather Yun was unaccustomed to living there, so he gave the house away to her second uncle. Liang Xiuqin had always been jealous of her third aunt’s life of luxury, so she was beside herself with envy!

Ever since then, a secret rift had been caused between her second aunt and Liang Xiuqin.

After greeting everyone, Yun Xi finally locked her target on the only outsider, Liang Xinyi.

“Cousin came all this way to impersonate me. Now that things have been cleared up, I wonder what Cousin plans to do?”

“I...” Liang Xinyi’s expression became very ugly when she was exposed before all these people.

Gritting her teeth, she glared at Yun Xi before hiding behind Liang Xiuqin to seek her help.

Liang Xiuqin was pent up with anger to begin with, so she was free to abuse Yun Xi now!

“How could you speak to your cousin like that? What’s wrong with me letting her stay in Jingdu? I only have to add another person to the dining table! Your uncle and aunt raised you for so many years. Now that their daughter has come to my home, of course I need to take care of her properly as her aunt. You’ve lived in the countryside for so long that you’ve become as shrewd and ignorant as a frog from the bottom of a well. As if you’ll ever achieve anything!”

Yun Xi raised a brow and half smiled as she retorted, “Cousin has also lived in the countryside all this time, so we are certainly two disappointing frogs from the bottom of the well.”

Self-deprecation had already become a form of black humor in her age, so Yun Xi didn’t mind it at all. However, Liang Xinyi was extremely angry about being dragged down with her.

Liang Xiuqin’s face turned white when she was beaten by Yun Xi. “How could you insult your cousin like that? Is that how much you hate her being here? Don’t you forget that you’re in no place to make any decisions in this family!”

Yun Xi truly couldn’t help rolling eyes. Just who was insulting whom?

“What is Mom so concerned about, I never asked for Cousin to go back home.”

Yun Xi turned to look at Liang Xinyi and smiled brightly and innocently. She smiled even more happily at the sight of Liang Xinyi’s poisonous glare.

“After all, I’ve lived with Cousin for so many years already. I’d also miss her if she left, and school is about to start next week. How about we let Cousin stay in Jingdu so she can study here? Jingdu’s educational resources are better than Muyang’s, so Cousin will certainly achieve success! Also, since Mom ‘takes care of’ Cousin so well, wouldn’t Mom have another daughter to serve you once Cousin achieves success?”
