Chapter 1088: A Trap
It was Liang Xinyi who used to speak to her in this arrogant manner. Now that Yun Xi had achieved her present position, the balance of power between them had long since changed.
Liang Xinyi trembled in anger at Yun Xi’s arrogant attitude. Her arrogance was the thing that she hated the most. She acted like an heiress, who was crushing her pride beneath her feet.
Her hands were shaking as she pointed at Yun Xi. Gritting her teeth, she spat out venomous words. “You, just you wait! I won’t let you off so easily!”
The suggestion that Qiao Ximin had given her was not harsh enough for her liking, and it was not enough to appease her hatred.
“Bring it on! I’ll be waiting.”
Yun Xi sneered and walked away in the direction that she had come from.
Liang Xinyi picked up the invitation that had fallen to the ground. Without even looking at it, she clenched her fists and stomped on the ground with all her might. It was as if this was the only way she could vent her anger.
After exiting the school gates, Yun Xi relied on a streetlight to open and view the invitation in her hand. Qiao Ximin had invited all the teachers and students in the university, so there were going to be far too many guests. Therefore, the invitee’s name had not been written on the invitation.
The location on the invitation had not changed, but she did notice that the time written on Liang Xinyi’s was different from the one Qiao Ximin had given to her.
Even though it was only a slight difference of half an hour between 9:00 and 9:30, it was still a 30-minute difference.
The invitation Qiao Ximin had given her was for 9:00 and Liang Xinyi’s was for 9:30.
Even though it was not a big deal, being there half an hour early was a form of respect for the organizers. It was not an issue worth fussing over, but ensuring that one wouldn’t be late was also a basic rule of conduct.
Ordinary people might not care, but she knew Qiao Ximin too well. She would be concerned about such a minute difference.
It was the same invitation, but there were two times. To confirm her suspicions, she called Yumo.
“Yumo, did Qiao Ximin send you an invitation to the art exhibition?”
“She did. She brought a stack of invitations to my class. The class monitor gave them out, and everyone has one.”
“What is the time on the invitation?”
“Isn’t the event happening the day after tomorrow? The whole school should know about it by now.”
“I mean, the opening time.”
“It’s 9:30. Why do you ask?”
“It’s nothing. Carry on with what you’re doing. I’m going home.”
After hanging up, Yun Xi called her other roommates to verify the same information. She asked for the time, and they gave the same answer as Yumo. Their invitations all said 9:30.
She finally understood why she had been feeling so uneasy and suspicious.
There was indeed a trap waiting for her.
However, Liang Xinyi was the one who was going to be baited now.
In order to see what kind of trap Qiao Ximin had prepared for her, she would still arrive early at 9:00 to see the show that was meant for her, but was now going to be used on Liang Xinyi.
On the way back to her apartment, Yun Xi received a call from her auntie. She reported how Yun Yuanfeng had come back from work that evening and caused a scene with Liang Xiuqin.
Yun Yuanfeng had slapped Liang Xiuqin several times. He hit her so hard that she was in a stupor and even forgot to cry.
Yun Xi understood why he was so enraged. After Liang Xiuqin had made such a disgraceful scene, she had offended the Jiang family!
More important, the person who had gone to the police station to obtain Yun Yuanfeng’s signature on the civil affairs coordination was none other than the police chief.
Now that everyone in the police station knew about this, Liang Xiuqin had trampled on the dignity of the director, Yun Yuanfeng, that afternoon. He came back filled with anger, so how could he not unleash it on Liang Xiuqin.
The news of her provoking the Jiang family would spread very quickly. Yun Xi was dying to see how Yun Yuanfeng and Liang Xiuqin would get out of this predicament.
