Chapter 78: Changes in the Battle Situation
Zhao Yunyi's heart sank. "I'm talking about you. Why are you dragging me into this? You're talking nonsense. Do you even know what respecting your elders means? I'm your aunt."
Yu Yin said, "You came in here, didn't understand anything, and you started talking about me. Why do you care about me so much? Now it's a gift, I'm just giving it back to you. I wonder if your son got wet playing in the water on Grandpa's birthday?"
"So what? Why are you asking?"
"This is related to what happened tonight. Your son was playing in the water with this Miss Lian Ke'er. Meimei, tell them what happened outside the lounge door just now."
Yu Meimei stepped forward a little and said, "Yes, ma'am. Just now, Miss Lian Ke'er said to Mr. Liang Zexian with a hint of grievance in her voice, 'Mr. Liang, please don't be like this...'"
Ms. Jiang didn't expect that there was something about Liang Zexian here. She just came to watch Yu Yin's play.
Mrs. Lian sensed that the situation was not good. She interrupted Yu Meimei and said, "It's just a misunderstanding. There's no need to take it too seriously. Yu Yin, Ke'er is still young. She may have offended you due to carelessness. I will teach her a lesson."
Yu Yin said, "It's just a misunderstanding, so we need to clarify it. It would be bad to wrongly accuse Miss Lian. After all, she is a guest, your niece." Meimei continued, and also mentioned what happened when Lian Ke'er and Liang Zexian broke down the door.
Yu Meimei had no reason to worry. She was working for Yu Yin, so naturally she followed Yu Yin's advice. She thought she was being put to good use, that the lady finally knew she was useful.
Yu Meimei narrated these events vividly.
Yu Yin said to Ms. Jiang, "Shunian was just in this lounge. He left not long ago when Lian Ke'er and Big Brother appeared outside and said those words. I think it's easy to figure out what she wants to do with Big Brother."
Ms. Jiang's face darkened, and she looked at Lian Ke'er with disapproval. These tactics were all hers, and she saw clearly what Lian Ke'er meant. Lian Ke'er had portrayed Ze Xian as a bully who harassed girls, using him to win Zhao Shunian's favor.
It doesn’t matter whether Zhao Shunian sympathizes with Lian Ke’er or not. Her son needs Zhao Shunian’s help now, so it doesn’t matter if his impression of her becomes bad.
But while Ms. Jiang was still pondering, Zhao Yunyi couldn't help but slap Lian Ke'er. "How can this be absurd? You're using my son to seduce a man for you? You're really a scoundrel who is not worthy of public respect."
Lian Ke'er's face was half swollen, and she cried and said she didn't have it.
Yu Meimei wondered in her heart why Zhao Yunyi was so impulsive. Zhao Xinzhi and Mrs. Zhou had both cultivated into spirits and become adult spirits, but their children did not seem to inherit their emotional intelligence and IQ.
Even the wife's face darkened. "Yunyi, what do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything. It's none of my business if you take it personally. You have something to hide." Under Mrs. Lian's management, Zhao Yunyi treated her well, but plastic is not fireproof. Once the fire is ignited, the plastic will be burnt.
Mrs. Lian and Lian Ke'er had offended Zhao Yunyi, which was equivalent to offending Mrs. Zhou. The people who had been watching the show suddenly shifted their focus away from Yu Yin. Lian Ke'er's advantage was gone.
Mrs. Zhou also scoffed, "I think Ke'er's persistence in pursuing Yu Yin is a reflection of her aunt's past. She's trying to follow the wife's footsteps and get close to the wife's husband. Lian Ying, I don't know if you still want to remember the past, but I do remember that you were visiting the grave on the anniversary of your eldest sister's death and ran into Xinzhi. You told him how grateful you were for her financial support, and after a few exchanges of glances, you hooked up with Xinzhi. You even go after the dead. I wonder if you're trying to thank your eldest sister, or if you're trying to piss her off?"
Yu Yin's heart was blown away. The secrets of the Zhao family were endless. Every story made people marvel at how deep the water was. No wonder Zhao Yunbin and Zhao Yunli were even colder towards Mrs. Lian and didn't even give her a glance.
Everyone looked at Mrs. Lian in shock, her face turning pale and blue, and she wanted to leave.
Mrs. Zhou held her hand and wouldn't let her leave. She usually sowed discord and alienated herself from her daughter. She also often made things difficult for the mother and daughter, bringing new and old grudges together.
Now the main forces on the battlefield have become Mrs. Lian and Mrs. Zhou, and Zhao Yunyi also knows to stand by his mother this time.
Ms. Jiang gave Lian Ke'er a fierce look and left. If it wasn't for the fact that today was the Zhao family's home court, she would not let this person go easily.
Yu Yin straightened her skirt, and she and Yu Meimei left. When they left, Yu Meimei even closed the door.
Zhao Xiyan saw Yu Yin and walked up to her and asked, "Where did you go just now? I couldn't find you."
Yu Yin said somewhat awkwardly, "I was adjusting my skirt in the lounge when I ran into my second and third grandmas arguing. They're the elders, so it's hard for me to intervene. If I weren't, my aunt would say I don't respect my elders."
Ms. Jian, who was standing by, knew something was going to happen. She asked with concern, "Where is it? You're a junior, so it's not appropriate for you to go and persuade them. I'll go and persuade them. I'm the same generation as your aunt, and she wouldn't dare to say anything about me."
After Yu Yin told Ms. Jian the specific location, Ms. Jian went there.
Zhao Xiyan also wanted to join in the fun, but Ms. Jian didn't let her go. She was worried that her simple-minded little daughter would be set up and she would not only be able to watch the show but also be dragged into it.
Zhao Xiyan and Yu Yin began to visit the auction exhibition area, which was left to Zhao Boyan to entertain them.
There will be an auction later. Some of the items are from the Zhao family collection, and some are from collections donated by others. The proceeds from the auction will be used for charity.
They ran into Shang Jiawen, and the three of them admired the collection together. Among them was the jewelry donated in Yu Yin's name: a bracelet that Ms. Li had chosen for her in the collection room that day.
Yu Yin saw Zhao Yunxin and a handsome man standing at the next display case. This Mr. Shang was the heir of a mainland group and his family was quite powerful.
His mother, Ms. Luo, also attended the incense seal salon that day. Ms. Luo was attracted to Zhao Xiyan and her family background. Ms. Jian also thought that their family was well-off and that Ms. Luo and she were compatible.
Today, Ms. Luo and Ms. Jian specially arranged a meeting between the two, but the result was not very satisfactory. Mr. Shang was more interested in Zhao Yunxin who was next to Zhao Xiyan.
Ms. Jian had been rushing to see Mrs. Lian's joke, partly to vent her frustration at the fact that the son-in-law she had carefully selected was serving someone else. She felt her blood pressure soar.
Yu Yin knew that Mr. Shang was Zhao Xiyan's blind date, but she didn't expect that he and Zhao Yunxin were walking together during the time she went to the lounge.
Yu Yin observed Zhao Xiyan's reaction and found that she didn't seem unhappy.
Zhao Xiyan noticed her gaze, shrugged, and said nonchalantly, "If she likes it, take it. I don't need it. Besides, I'm not in a hurry to get married. If others choose me, I'm also choosing someone."
