Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten Chapter 1074 - A Fatal Move

Chapter 1074: A Fatal Move

On the way back from the Chen home, Yun Xi received a call from her mother. Well, to be precise, it was Auntie who called and said that Liang Xiuqin would like her please to come home.
She hadn’t slept that night and now had asked her to come home. Moreover, from the tone of Auntie’s voice, it seemed as if she was anxious. Yun Xi immediately understood what was going on.
Chen Yichen was driving a sports car, so it was quiet in the car. Her auntie’s voice was quite loud, and he could hear it clearly from his side.
“Do you want to go back to the villa residences tonight?” Chen Yichen stopped the car at the junction and turned to ask her.
“Yes, let’s go back please. If I don’t go back tonight, my mom will come to my school tomorrow.”
“Is it because the two family heads have stood up for you tonight?”
He knew very well what kind of person her mother was. Tonight, Huo Tingxiao and Jiang Chenghuan had stood up for Yun Xi. With her mother’s personality, she would definitely try to see if there was a chance for Yun Ziling to take advantage of her connections.
She had such an unreliable mother who had never treated her correctly as a daughter. No matter how he thought about it, his heart ached for her.
“What else can it be other than this?” Yun Xi laughed bitterly, turning her head to look at the brightly lit streets. After being reborn, she no longer hoped to obtain any familial love from the Yun family.
Chen Yichen looked at her, feeling heartache, and he sighed slightly, unable to hide the intense pity in his eyes.
He raised his hand to pat her head, hiding the darkness in his eyes. “Okay, I’ll take you home.”
This was her family affair, and he was not in a position to intervene or help. His heart ached for her, but there was nothing he could do. He could only use his love for her in other ways.
For example, he could focus his efforts on her safety.
Once her plan to eliminate the enemy commenced, all the members from Jingdu who had been dragged into the mud by Crocodile would all be at risk. If this pile of loose sand that was connected by their mutual benefits was to gather into one force, it could definitely become a fatal move for Yun Xi.
Therefore, before she started, he had to make all the plans and arrangements. He could not let anyone hurt her.
…
In the main hall of the Yun household, Liang Xiuqin told Yun Yuanfeng everything that had happened that night in detail.
Yun Yuanfeng did not feel any sadness about Chen Lixue’s remarriage. To him, she was just a woman who had delivered herself to his doorstep. At his age, it was not strange for a man to have one or two lovers outside of his marriage.
Liang Xiuqin had made a lot of fuss about it, especially when the incident at the hot springs villa had exposed it. Now that Chen Lixue had remarried, Liang Xiuqin could no longer make a fuss even if she wanted to.
Besides, he now had someone more important to protect. Without Chen Lixue, it would not only be a good thing for him, but it would also save him money.
He was much more concerned about Liang Xiuqin telling him the story of the two family heads standing up for Yun Xi.
After all, it had all been thanks to the Young Commander’s help that he had become the director.
That girl Yun Xi really did have some ability. If she had managed to get into the good graces of two powerful family heads, it would be a wonderful thing for him.
It was not easy to break through into the Young Commander’s entourage. However, if he managed to get rid of the other family heads, he, Yun Yuanfeng, could do whatever he wanted in Jingdu.
Yun Chuhan came out of the kitchen with a glass of water and listened to her mother talking about tonight’s events. She seemed to be trying to take advantage of Yun Xi.
She found it amusing. Yun Xi had been back for so long, but when had her mother succeeded in taking advantage of her?
Knowing Yun Xi’s temperament, did Liang Xiuqin really think it would be easy to take advantage of her?
“Dad, Mom, I’m back.” Standing on the porch, Yun Xi called out in a dull voice. She changed into her slippers before entering the house.
When Auntie heard Yun Xi’s voice, she handed over a cup of watermelon juice from the kitchen. She did not forget to give her a look, reminding her to be careful.
Yun Xi nodded. After receiving the watermelon juice, she turned around to look at the family of three sitting on a sofa, staring at her.
