Liang Xinyi gritted her teeth. She needed the Han family as a pillar of support. She would be nothing without them. The idea of being Han Hongbin’s spy was much more appealing than trading her body for benefits with Han Zhongteng.
At the very least, she had more to gain by becoming the eyes of Han Hongbin.
The head of the Han family remained Han Hongbin and not Han Zhongteng. If she could gain his favor there would be more benefits to be reaped.
Still, it took a bit more convincing for Liang Xinyi to make the final decision to agree to their proposal. However, it was just a matter of time anyway. Liang Xinyi had no other options, and she realized that she would have to cave sooner or later.
She had no other choice if she wanted to surpass Yun Xi and destroy her. Liang Xinyi needed a strong source of support to put her plans into action.
If the Su family was unwilling to lend her any form of assistance, she would find help on her own.
Han Hongbin hummed softly to himself as he watched the viciousness on Liang Xinyi’s face.
Liang Xinyi was a good weapon to have. She was reckless and ready to sacrifice anything for her goals. He could find many uses for her.

Yun Xi was on her way home from school when she received a phone call from the leader of Team A, notifying her that Liang Xiuqin and Yun Ziling were waiting for her by the school gates.
The peace that Yun Xi had been enjoying did not last long. Liang Xiuqin had come knocking on her door once again and she had brought Yun Ziling with her.
She ran through the possible reasons for Liang Xiuqin’s untimely arrival. There were only two possible reasons: one was that Yun Ziling was being ostracized in school and the other was what had transpired with Jiang Chenghuan.
It had been days since the incident with Jiang Chenghuan, and she had given Liang Xiuqin a warning about stirring up more bad feelings with the Jiang Corporation, yet she still had the gall to come look for Yun Xi.
As soon as Liang Xiuqin caught a glimpse of Yun Xi approaching the school gates, she rushed forward and gripped Yun Xi’s arms tightly, as if she was afraid Yun Xi would run off.
Her grip was so tight that Yun Xi felt a dull pain in her arm.
Yun Xi frowned and looked at her mother with an expression of disdain. The more she looked at her mother’s facial features, the uglier she seemed to have become. She pried her mother’s fingers off her arm.
Before Yun Xi could speak, Liang Xiuqin immediately launched into her usual palaver, “Have you forgotten where your home is? Have you moved out? You don’t come home; you don’t pick up your calls… Do you still see me as your mom, Yun Xi?”
Yun Xi smiled and took a step back. It was hard to believe anyone would be happy to see her mother wherever she went.
“I don’t. What did you want to discuss with me? Hurry, I still have classes to go to.”
Yun Xi’s annoyed reply lit up Liang Xiuqin’s anger.
Yun Ziling had been faring so well in school, but now she was coming home every day in tears because her classmates had been mocking her since they found out she had been lying to them about her wealth. This had caused her to throw a tantrum at Jingdu High, and she had been put on suspension by the principal. Yun Yuanfeng had given the two of them a severe scolding about this.
Liang Xiuqin had been under immense pressure, and Yun Xi’s irritated expression added an entire barrel of oil to the fire.
“What’s with your attitude? It’s bad enough that you don’t come home, but it’s worse that you talk to me so arrogantly. Is this what school teaches you to do? You don’t even have any basic human respect. You might as well drop out and work. Save money for your father…”
Yun Xi turned coldly and studied Liang Xiuqin, who by this point had almost turned red with anger, and she scoffed with amusement.
“Are you here just to scold me? What a waste of my time. Why not just tell me what you want? I’m not that patient to stand here and waste time with you. It’s almost dinnertime too.”
“Chen Lixue raised you into being a disrespectful rascal. How can Second Master Jiang still be friends with you? You are such an embarrassment.”
Her mother had subconsciously disclosed what she was here for. It did not surprise Yun Xi that she hadn’t given up even after multiple warnings. Liang Xiuqin would continue to fight hard in order to find better opportunities for Yun Ziling.
Liang Xiuqin was as easy to read as always. She had given her intentions away, and Yun Xi had something to use against her. “If you think I will embarrass Second Master Jiang…,” she continued with the intention to leave Liang Xiuqin too stunned to answer her, “…then I won’t look for him.. Saves us both the embarrassment.”
