Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten Chapter 1118 - : Don't Be So Naive

Chapter 1118: Don’t Be So Naive

“How did you end up like this? Were you robbed last night? Was that why you didn’t come back?”
“It’s all because of that d*mned Yun Xi. If it hadn’t been for her, none of this would have happened to me!”
Liang Xiuqin embellished the story of last night, condemning Yun Xi for being vicious and heartless with every word.
The more Yun Yuanfeng listened, the more he felt that if it had been him, he would also have left her in the southern reaches of the city overnight just like Yun Xi had.
What did this idiot Liang Xiuqin take the Chen family for? Even if Yun Xi had a favor to ask of them, it was still her favor. As her mother, she had caused trouble and now she wanted Yun Xi to help her. But when she asked for help, she should adopt the right attitude of asking for help. How did she think she was going to be able to force her to go to the Chen residence?
Perhaps it was impossible for her to treat Yun Xi as her daughter, but who did she think the Chen family was? With Liang Xiuqin’s attitude blatantly on display, how could the Chen family not see that she treated her daughter simply like something to use?
They treated Yun Xi, who they considered as their savior, with respect and love. Certainly, they disdained her mother who was so cold-blooded toward her own child.
It would have been fine if it had been a problem of Yun Xi’s, but it was a problem of Liang Xiuqin’s, and she had no clue about how to approach people. No one would be willing to help her with that attitude of hers.
It was not that Yun Yuanfeng was unaware of Liang Xiuqin’s prejudice against Yun Xi. He had long refused to believe what the fortune-teller had told Liang Xiuqin back in the day. Especially now after Yun Xi had returned, and everything had gone smoothly for him… He didn’t put any store in the nonsense Liang Xiuqin uttered.
Even when it came to the death of his second child, he only treated it as Liang Xiuqin’s fault and did not blame Yun Xi.
Thrilled with the fact that he was about to have a son, he had long forgotten about the past.
However, Liang Xiuqin was narrow-minded and petty. It had been more than ten years, and she still could not let it go. It was all right if she did not have any feelings for Yun Xi, but she still should treat her as her daughter. No wonder Yun Xi was so harsh and left her at the construction site.
She had brought this upon himself. He had no sympathy for her.
“Liang Xiuqin, you’re so stupid that I don’t even think it’s worth it to lecture you anymore. The Chen family is one of the four wealthy families in Jingdu, and Old Madame Chen is an elder. Do you really think you have the standing to ask her for help? Who do you think you are? Why should she help you? You act horribly to Yun Xi and still think you have the right to ask her for help in solving your problems. You’re not young anymore, so don’t be so naive. Think about how you treat your daughter!”
Yun Yuanfeng had finally received a notice from the Young Commander that he could meet with him. Hence, he was in high spirits and became even more domineering when he spoke to Liang Xiuqin.
Especially looking at Liang Xiuqin’s dirty appearance, he felt disgusted. He did not care how she had been wronged and turned to go to work.
Liang Xiuqin hadn’t recovered from Yun Yuanfeng’s words when Yun Yuanfeng left for work. She was filled with anger and grievances.
The moment Auntie stepped into the door, she saw Liang Xiuqin’s sorry state and could not help but laugh.
“What are you laughing at? Don’t you want your job anymore?” Liang Xiuqin glared at Auntie angrily. In the end, she was just a paper tiger.
It was not that Auntie was not afraid of her because she received a salary from her. She controlled herself from smiling too widely and went out to the courtyard to dry the fruits.
When Yao Ying came out of the kitchen and saw Liang Xiuqin’s ghastly appearance, she was so frightened that she nearly dropped the tea tray she was holding in her hands. Very quickly, she raised her head and admired Liang Xiuqin’s wretched appearance with interest.
“Oh, I thought we were being robbed! Sister-in-law, did you get robbed? Did the robbers do anything to you?”
The moment Yao Ying mentioned the robbers, Liang Xiuqin thought of the hooligans who had teased her last night. She shivered, and the fear and disgust rose up again.
“Shut up! Why do you have to be so nosy? What has this got to do with you?” Liang Xiuqin growled before turning around and running upstairs.
When Auntie came out of the courtyard, Yao Ying asked her in a low voice what was going on. Auntie told her about the gossip that she had heard while standing behind the door.
