300: Courtesy?

Courtesy?

As they were leaving school, Yun Xi and Zhao Yumo saw a car parked outside the school gates. Qi Yuan was standing by the car's door.1

Yun Xi froze for a moment, then quickly dragged Zhao Yumo over to talk with Qi Yuan.

"Why are you here? Is it...?" She really wanted to ask if the Zhao family's housekeeper had been taken care of.

Qi Yuan moved his chin and pointed toward the inside of the car.

"Get in the car, and I'll take Miss Zhao home now."

"Okay." Yun Xi nodded and opened the car door to see the housekeeper sitting inside.

Upon seeing Zhao Yumo, you would have thought that the housekeeper had seen her savior. She lunged toward Zhao Yumo and begged for mercy. "Miss, I really didn't mean to do anything wrong. I was following the second young master's orders. He made me do this! Please don't let them send me to jail. My son is in college, and I needed the money. I had no choice but..."

Upon seeing the housekeeper, Zhao Yumo looked at her disdainfully and hid behind Yun Xi.

"Stay back! Otherwise, we'll take you to jail right now." Yun Xi threatened her coldly.

The housekeeper anxiously looked toward Yun Xi, whose childish face appeared domineering and cold. Despite her young age, she had an intimidating aura.

She turned back to look at Zhao Yumo for help once again. Upon seeing that Zhao Yumo didn't respond, she trembled and fell back against the seat.

After getting in the car, Yun Xi turned to her and took out a packet of medicine from her bag.

"It's very simple for you to get off the hook. You just need to change the old man's medicine to this new medicine I'll give you and pretend as if nothing has happened. If the second young master asks you to find a new doctor, you can say that these medicines can be bought in any pharmacies. No need to ask a doctor, which would be a waste of money. Do you understand?"

The housekeeper took the package of medicine, trembling. "Yes, I understand."

"Go back to the house. When no one is around, take advantage of the opportunity to change the medicines. If you get caught, you will have to figure it out by yourself."

"No, I won't get caught."

"That's good! If the old man wakes up, you should find an excuse to take him downstairs to breathe some fresh air. You don't need me teaching you how to make excuses, right?"

"I understand. I know how to convince the master."

Yun Xi nodded and turned to look at Zhao Yumo. "Yumo, seize this chance to get home while your second uncle is away. If the old man wakes up, tell him what has happened. He is weak now, and these medicines will replenish his vitality. It will probably take a while before the effects of the medicine kick in. During this period, tell the old man to play along and don't expose yourselves."

"I know what to do."

"Everything has to wait until the old man gets better. Do you think you can handle it?"

"Don't worry, I can handle it. It's never too late to get revenge. I don't have the ability to compete with them yet, but when I become an adult next year, I will inherit the Zhao family's fortune. Then I will slowly settle accounts with them."

Yun Xi smiled at her. "Those who make big decisions must also be able to withstand the storms. Now that you have important responsibilities on your shoulders, you must know how to carry them. Be careful during this time, and don't fall behind in your studies."

"I know all of this inside of me. Don't underestimate me. I'm not as fragile as you think I am."

Yun Xi remembered that children from prominent families were rarely simpleminded, so she supposed that she had worried too much about Zhao Yumo.

After taking Zhao Yumo home, Qi Yuan took Yun Xi to the Mu Mansion because Mu Feichi wanted to see her.

She had originally thought that Mu Feichi was going to be alone, but as soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she saw Jiang Chenghuan desperately trying to please Great White.

Great White had become accustomed to his master's temperament, so he ignored Jiang Chenghuan's attempts to please him.

When Great White heard the sound of a car, he raised his head. When he saw that it was her, he quickly got up and rushed over.

"I'll be d*mned!" Dumbfounded, Jiang Chenghuan stared at Great White, who was snuggling in Yun Xi's arms. He had a look of awe, envy, and resentment on his face.

"How come this rascal is just like its owner and doesn't hold back at all toward beauties? Where is your courtesy?"

Jiang Chenghuan glanced at the endearing Great White disdainfully and muttered to himself, "I don't think you have any manners anyway!"
