Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten Chapter 1156 - I Can't Help You

Chapter 1156: I Can’t Help You

“You know very well whether you feel wronged or not. This is a conflict between you and Liang Xinyi, and it has nothing to do with me. If I had been the one who’d suffered that day, then I’d have to settle this score with you.”
The corners of her lips curled up into a sneer. Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and took a few steps back. “You don’t need to blame yourself. After all, you were quite unlucky in this matter.”
Qiao Ximin and Liang Xinyi had worked together to plot against her. But instead of them taking advantage of her, they had been dragged down. From the beginning to the end, she had added fuel to the fire without doing much work. The one who had really been ruthless was Liang Xinyi.
But in the end, Liang Xinyi became the victim, and Qiao Ximin was the one who had suffered. That’s what Yun Xi meant when she said she had been really unlucky.
Qiao Ximin had to pretend that nothing had happened and she had to endure Yun Xi’s gloating sarcasm. Qiao Ximin clenched her fists and forced a smile.
“Yes, yes…as long as you don’t misunderstand me.”
If they didn’t fall out on the surface, there was still a chance to ease the tension between them. She would not be so stupid as to ignore the bigger picture.
In particular, Yun Xi and the Young Commander had an extraordinary relationship. This was the fastest way to get to know the Young Commander.
“If there’s nothing else, I’m going to go to class.”
Compared to Qiao Lixin’s straightforwardness, Qiao Ximin’s phony face made her feel even more disgusted.
“Wait, wait a minute. I actually have something to ask you for help with… It’s about the Young Commander.”
“Wasn’t the Young Commander in front of you just now? Why didn’t you ask him directly? Why ask me instead?”
“But the Young Commander just left…” He had not even looked at her.
Yun Xi stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Qiao Ximin with a regretful expression. “The opportunity was just presented to you. Since you’re not confident enough to ask him, I can’t help you.”
Yun Xi patted her shoulder regretfully and turned to leave before Qiao Ximin could say anything.
“Yun Xi, Yun Xi…” Qiao Ximin chased after her, unwilling to give up. “I have something urgent to discuss with the Young Commander. Can you help me arrange a time to talk with him?”
“If your matter is really urgent, you should have just spoken to him earlier… I don’t think you really have anything urgent, seeing that you waited to bring it up until after the opportunity slipped away from you. Since you’re not in a hurry, let’s talk about it another time. The Young Commander has been quite busy recently.”
There was nothing bad about what she said, but Qiao Ximin choked on her words. A sinister look flashed across her eyes.
If she had had the chance to speak earlier, she would not have had to lower herself to beg her now.
If it weren’t for the fact that she was acting like this because of the Young Commander, did Yun Xi really think she was a pushover?
While she hesitated, the distance between the two of them had already gotten larger. Qiao Ximin bit her lip and did not chase after her, but her spiteful eyes glared at Yun Xi’s back.
A little impatience could spoil great plans. Before Qiao Ximin could make a connection with the Young Commander, it would not do for her to fall out with Yun Xi.
But she would remember her humiliation today.
Yun Xi’s lips curled up in a teasing manner as she felt Qiao Ximin’s glare. She quickly distanced herself from her, her mood inexplicably happy.
In her previous life, Qiao Ximin acted inconsistently and badgered her. For the sake of her best friend, Yun Xi would have agreed to anything to satisfy her.
But what had happened in the end? She had schemed and used Liang Xiuqin to disfigure her and even climbed onto Han Yaotian’s bed, conspiring to kill her.
The most ruthless person had been right by her side, yet she naïvely had treated her as a sister.
In this life, even if she knelt on the ground and begged her, she would not show her any mercy.
She might not have been able to hide her hatred and killing intent toward Qiao Ximin during the Weiya Banquet, but now she had learned to hide her thoughts.
She was going to slowly settle the scores of her two lifetimes.
