LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 61
Chapter 60: Aren’t You’re Too Funny?
“Ridiculous!” Yun Yuanfeng immediately threw his chopsticks down and stood up.
This topic was taboo. By mentioning it at a time like this, Yun Ziling had basically stepped on Yun Yuanfeng’s weakest point.
He’d also wanted a son, but unfortunately, he’d only had daughters after his second baby and only son had been miscarried.
Since he had no son, he’d decided to cultivate his daughters to allow them to marry well and then use their marriages to strengthen his own position in the business world.
Although his eldest daughter had been raised in the countryside, she was able to help him grab onto the Jiang family.
When she had come home, he’d noticed that his eldest daughter was just as beautiful as his second daughter. She was also able to help him latch onto the Jiang and Chen families!
At the very critical time of him being selected for a promotion, she was basically his lucky star!
Yun Ziling had a heart condition, so it wouldn’t be easy for her to marry well.
Yun Chuhan was reticent and didn’t stand out from others. Although her grades were good, her looks were much less remarkable than her older sisters.
She only had knowledge, and in the age where appearances were everything, knowledge didn’t mean much at all!
So now he pinned all his hopes on Yun Xi and also wanted to see all three sisters support each other. However, this spoiled daughter was completely useless!
Liang Xiuqin also stood up as she began to defend her precious daughter and shoot glares at the main culprit, Yun Xi.
“Just look at you! You angered your dad as soon as he came home! Must you have to make your sister sick from anger? How could you act like this as her older sister? How did your uncle and aunt educate you? Did they teach you to steal other people’s things? Do you even know manners or have any shame!”
Yun Yuanfeng shot Liang Xiuqin another warning glance when he heard her speak. As their mother, she didn’t know how to speak or read the situation at all!
Although there was nothing wrong with siding with Yun Ziling, she couldn’t scold Yun Xi like that either.
However, Liang Xiuqin was riled up and couldn’t be stopped!
She completely ignored Yun Yuanfeng’s warning and began to lecture Yun Xi.
“Mom, I don’t think I ever said anything! Yun Ziling’s things cannot be stolen by others, but does that mean she and Liang Xinyi are allowed to steal my things? One of them wants the marriage to the Jiang family, while the other wants to replace me as the eldest heiress of the Yun family. Weren’t you happy to see those things happen? How can I act like this as the older sister? You’ve never educated or even raised me in all these years, and now you’re so eager to stand up for Yun Ziling? Did you ever consider that I’m your daughter too? She’s lived in this home for so many years, while I was in the countryside for over ten years. Why do I have to let her have her way as soon as I come back? I’m her older sister!”
“It’s all your fault. If you hadn’t cursed her, how could she have gotten this illness?”
“Her heart condition is hereditary, and I remember that Grandmother also passed away from this same illness. It is inherited every other generation, so you should be glad that you didn’t inherit yourself. Otherwise, you’d also become my dad’s burden! Yun Ziling crawled out of your own stomach, so why are you blaming me for inheriting this illness? Aren’t you too funny?”
“You…” Liang Xiuqin’s face was completely pale, “Insubordination! How did I give birth to such a rude daughter?! You dare to argue back?! You’re a star of death, and this family only turned out like this because of you! I shouldn’t have given birth to you in the first place!”
Yun Xi slowly stood up. When she looked at her mother, there was only a cold and blank aloofness in her eyes.
In her previous life, Yun Ziling had stood at the door, laughing smugly and heartlessly as her mother poured sulfuric acid on Yun Xi’s face.
In this lifetime, she wouldn’t be such a coward anymore.
“Dad, I’m going upstairs first.” She truly didn’t want to waste any more breath on them, so she turned to go upstairs.
Her mother’s superstitious beliefs would never change in all her life, so Yun Xi didn’t care to help her correct it.
When she walked halfway to the door, she suddenly recalled something and turned to her father to say, “Dad, I’m going to be starting school soon. Can you see if you can ask someone to help with my transfer?”
She didn’t want to rely on her mom for something like that.
“Okay, don’t worry about it. Dad will take care of it for you!
Yun Yuanfeng didn’t dare to delay things when it came to her education since it implicated her future prospects, after all.
Yun Xi nodded before going upstairs to read books. She needed to get ample rest to climb up Tianyu Mountain tomorrow morning.
Chapter 61: Trespassing on Tianyu Mountain
Yun Xi took the opportunity to sneak into Grandfather’s study while he was resting to use his desktop to check out a satellite map of Tianyu Mountain.
However, to her surprise, in the entire area surrounding Tianyu Mountain, only the villa complex was marked out on the maps. Tianyu Mountain and all the other mountains in the vicinity were not indicated on the maps at all. They were merely shown as a mountain range without any markings.
Even the specific address of the Mu Mansion was not indicated. On the satellite map, the mountains were shown as simply never-ending masses of green.
It was likely that some of Mu Feichi’s subordinates had tampered with the Global Positioning System by hacking into it to alter the map that was available to the public. It seemed as if those working under him were all experts in different areas.
Since she was unable to find any exact directions, she could not retrieve any information about the specific locations of the sentries and guards beforehand.
It looked like she had to take it one step at a time.
Anyway, Mu Feichi wouldn’t do anything bad to her. She just had to do her best and that was enough.
The next morning, Yun Xi woke up early, put on casual clothes, and tied her hair back into a bun. She took a steamed stuffed bun hastily and left the house.
…
The parking lot at the top of Tianyu Mountain contained three groups of people who just rushed over after completing their morning’s business.
They only had one reason to gather. Young Marshal Mu had mentioned the night before that there was a young girl who was going to challenge the mountain and try to get past all the sentries.
It’s said that curiosity killed the cat. They were all interested in watching how the battle might unfold. After getting Young Marshal Mu’s approval, they wasted no time in landing their helicopters and unloading their surveillance equipment.
By the break of dawn, three big screens had been set up at the top of the mountain, which at this time was covered in fog. Three tech-savvy people sat in front of the monitors controlling the images displayed on the screens. Their young faces stared intently at the monitors, waiting for the trespasser to reveal her face.
Feng Rui and Qi Yuan rushed over to join in the fun while devouring the steamed buns that they had brought with them. While they were eating, they were also involved in a heated discussion.
Upon hearing that there was a trespasser expected, Feng Rui could barely hold in the urge to gossip about it.
“I can’t believe she has the audacity to trespass the mountain alone! Who gave her the courage! There are lots of people from the villa complex who would like to gain the acquaintance of the Mu family, but no one had the guts to trespass into this area before.”
Qi Yuan took a mouthful of soy milk and looked in the direction of Young Marshal Mu’s room, which was located on the second story of the mansion. “Had it not been for Young Marshal Mu’s acquiescence, she wouldn’t dare to attempt it.”
On the train, the girl had seemed oblivious to the importance of a relationship with Young Marshal Mu.
It was the first time he had ever seen someone reject Young Marshal Mu’s good intentions, even to the extent of not wanting to be associated with him in any way.
Looking at the situation of the Yun family, they had every reason to ingratiate themselves with Young Marshal Mu. However, that girl was one of a kind.
The huge commotion outside in the parking lot had awoken Mu Feichi.
He opened his French windows and walked onto his balcony, He leaned onto the railing, supporting his weight with both hands. He was wearing a loose white silk blouse, white baggy long pants, and linen slippers.
He looked very relaxed, and his eyes weren’t even fully opened yet. It was evident that he was not fully awake.
In contrast to the fierce and condescending aura that he exuded when training his soldiers, this Mu Feichi seemed down to earth, comfortable, and very casual.
Everything seemed ready. He glanced at his screen to monitor the situation. She hadn’t appeared yet, so he turned around to change his clothes and freshen up before heading down to where everyone else was.
…
“Young Marshal Mu!” Everyone stood up and straightened their backs to greet him when they saw him exiting the mansion.
Mu Feichi turned his head to look toward Qi Yuan and asked him to hand over the walkie-talkie.
Grabbing the walkie-talkie, he gave orders to the hidden sentries on the mountain, “Everyone listen up, I only have one request today: No one is allowed to go easy on her. Show her your capabilities! However, no one is allowed to hurt her in any way! Whoever hurts her, I will kill you!”
“…” The sentries couldn’t help but let out groans and silently pray for their own well-being.
How was it possible to give their all without harming her? He was definitely putting them in a difficult situation.
If he really could not bear for her to get hurt, they should all just throw in the towel and go easy on her.Unfortunately, they still had to act tough and fight her. This whole group of people was playing along with the girl. This was going to be tiring.
