Chapter 160 - Casting The Bait (2)
After all the things she had done to her mother in her previous life, how can Su Xiaofei not feel guilty about it? Yun Qingrong's demise was one of her biggest regrets in life.
The moment she woke up and found that her mother was still alive, the resentment and guilt she was trying to suppress, gushed out uncontrollably. Since she was given a chance, she swore in her heart that she would rectify her mistakes and make her mother happy and proud of her in this lifetime.
As for Yun Xiang and the Yun family, she hadn't really given them much thought regarding how she should deal with them after this meeting. In order to protect herself and her mother, she needed the Yun family to take them under their wing. This way, neither Su Haoran nor Mo Yuchen could easily bully them in the future.
Su Xiaofei chuckled and turned her gaze heavenward, thinking that the weather looked a bit gloomy as the cluster of clouds started to cover the bright sky. Thinking about it, when she was crippled and was left bedridden for the remaining days of her previous life, she used to watch the sky from her room's window.
"This person you are talking about… the one you want to help, who is it?" Yun Xiang asked, willingly taking the bait that Su Xiaofei had casually tossed earlier.
Su Xiaofei's lips curled up and she faced him again. This man was really predictable and easy to manipulate.
"Brother Xiang truly wants to help me? But I'm afraid it won't be easy."
To think that she would be able to have Yun Xiang at her disposal as easily as this… heh. No wonder Ye Mingyu wasn't willing to let him go even when she already had Mo Yuchen by her side.
She could already guess why she was invited along with her mother today. It can be said that the Yun family discovered something during the investigation they ran on Su Haoran, deeming it important enough to reestablish the relationship between two parties without delay.
Su Xiaofei had deliberately uttered that wanting to help someone, knowing that Yun Xiang would be able to catch it.
"En. As long as it's within my capability, I don't mind helping my biaomei." He said, as if he wanted to dote on her.
Su Xiaofei merely sneered in her heart. In her past life, wasn't Yun Xiang the one who couldn't wait for his chance to humiliate her in public just to protect Ye Mingyu? Was he really such a foolish man?
"Well, it's like this, Brother Xiang…." She then proceeded to talk about Si Yixian and how he came back from abroad to find his little sister.
"You mean this Si Yixian is that famous 'Andrew' that everyone was talking about?"
It was normal for Yun Xiang to be familiar with some people within the upper circle, and although Si Yixian wasn't born into a wealthy and prestigious family, his name was famed within the upper circle as one of the best stylists and designers of his generation.
"En. I became acquainted with him recently. He has no idea I'm trying to help him find his younger sister, so if you could please…" Her words trailed off, but Su Xiaofei didn't need to worry because Yun Xiang already understood what she was implying.
"You have my word, Xiao Fei. I will keep this a secret between us. However, it would be better if you could at least give me his sister's name and the orphanage where they previously stayed. Even if the orphanage had closed down years ago, there must be something we could do to trace her whereabouts."
Of course Su Xiaofei had the details she needed. Now, she only needed to wait for Yun Xiang to get the job done for her, giving her one less thing to worry about.
She smiled faintly to herself. She would use her own way to deal with things in the future and to claim debts that were long overdue.
When the two returned inside the manor, the elders were chatting lively in the dining area. Yun Qingrong had such a wide smile on her face as she laughed along with her brothers, talking about random things Su Xiaofei couldn't be bothered to know.
"Feifei, come here and greet your Grandpa and Uncles." Yun Qingrong called her once the older woman spotted her with her nephew.
Su Xiaofei obediently walked in, stood next to her mother and bowed her head politely to her elders.
"Thanking General Yun and Esteemed Uncles for inviting Xiao Fei again. I apologize for leaving earlier without a word." Her words were clearly indicating that she was distancing herself from the Yun family and allowing them to see that she respected her mother enough to give her some privacy.
Yun Qingrong looked at her daughter with a complicated expression. Of course she understood why her Feifei was talking to her family like this, but she also hoped that in the near future, her family would be able to warm up to her and consider her daughter as part of their family.
Old General Yun glanced between his daughter and Su Xiaofei. He didn't miss how this young woman's cold eyes changed briefly with a hint of warmth when she was looking at Yun Qingrong.
Although it was obvious that Su Xiaofei had ulterior motives in seeking them, the old man could also couldn't deny that the young woman held her mother dearly in her heart and this was enough for General Yun.
Su Xiaofei was obviously young and scheming, but since she had single handedly managed to mend the relationship between him and his estranged daughter, naturally, General Yun would feel indebted to this young woman.
He rose from his seat and stared at Su Xiaofei.
"Xiao Fei, I have something else to say." He said, gesturing the young lady to follow him.
Su Xiaofei bowed her head slightly, hiding the viciousness in her eyes.
