BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1286 - Dress Trouble
Coincidentally, Yao Ying had just come 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
income 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 glanced 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 the label
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 a competitive entrance exam for foreign
universities. If you have time, you should bring Haozhe to participate in the
competition. If his grades are good, foreign universities will give priority to
admissions, and then hell have the hance to study abroad. Compared with the
competitive environment here, foreign countries are relatively 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 up later. 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.
