Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 55 Beware of the Desperate Thing

"Mom and Dad, let's go back quickly. It's getting late and we have to clean up our new home."

Zhao Junyi no longer cared whether his mother was beaten or not, and he had no intention to continue arguing with Yun Yan and Yun Xi. He had to go back and think of a solution.

When talking about her new home, Zhang immediately covered her face and started showing off.

"Oh, I almost forgot that we are moving to a new house today. We really need to go back early, otherwise how can we clean up such a big yard?"

When Zhang said this, she glanced at Yun Xi and Yun Yan intentionally or unintentionally, trying not to show off too obviously. She just wanted to see their envious expressions, and also wanted to see their expressions of regret for canceling the engagement.

It’s a pity that Yun Xi and Yun Yan both looked disdainful.

"Alas, some people are just not destined to enjoy life. They probably can't even afford to live in a big yard in this lifetime." Zhang continued to be sarcastic.

Seeing her being so cocky, Yun Yan grinned and asked, "Oh, you actually bought a yard in the city? How big is it?"

Zhang immediately felt her face no longer hurt, her back straightened, and she raised her chin and replied, "Yes, our Jun Yi has already bought a yard in the city, and it's a large yard with two entrances."

"Hahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Little sister, is the second courtyard very big?"

Yun Xi's dimples were faintly visible as she said truthfully, "The second courtyard is not that big, but for some people, it should be big enough."

Zhang put her hands on her hips, her face getting more and more swollen. "Hmph, what do you two mud-legged people know? I guess you'll only be destined to live in a mud house in the countryside for the rest of your life."

"Hehe, that's better than having to sell yourself out to be able to afford to live in a big yard." Yun Xi said to Zhao Junyi with a smile.

Zhao Junyi's face flushed, his body trembled, and he was even more panicked. He urged Zhang and others to leave quickly.

Zhang didn't understand what Yun Xi meant and wanted to retort, but was forcibly pulled away by Zhao Junyi.

Seeing this, Yun Xi looked at the unsteady steps he took as he left, and concluded in her heart that her guess was correct.

I couldn't help but curl the corners of my lips.

Zhao Junyi, Zhao Junyi, I never realized that you have the potential to be a gigolo.

I don't know if he will be worried all day long now that I know such a big secret of his, worried that I will reveal it to others.

Oh, I won't reveal it now. After all, this kind of thing requires catching both parties cheating. Without substantial evidence, he can deny it or turn the tables.

However, although I won't reveal this matter now, it's not bad to scare him from time to time so that he'll be nervous all day long.

But in this case, I still have to prevent him from doing something desperate.

Thinking of this, Yun Xi's beautiful big almond eyes narrowed. It would be better if he could be more sensible, otherwise she wouldn't mind letting him get his lunch box early.

"Little sister, do we still want to go shopping?" Yun Yan asked.

Yun Xi waved her hand, "No, second brother, go back and put down the things you bought, and then we'll go take a look at that place."

When Yun Yan heard that she was going to that place, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "Little sister, do you need help with anything?"

Yun Xi just nodded slightly, "Well, I'll tell you in detail when I get back."

The brother and sister first returned to the Qixing Tower to put down the things they bought from shopping. Yun Xi changed into a set of light clothes, and then the two walked towards the suburbs in the south of the city.

After leaving the city, seeing that there were few pedestrians on the road, Yun Xi told Zhao Junyi about her guess that there had been substantial progress between Zhao Junyi and Xue Yao.

Yun Yan was stunned when he heard this.

"No wonder you sarcastically said before that they bought the big courtyard by selling their own houses. So, the money Zhao Junyi used to buy the courtyard was given by Xue Yao?"

Yun Xi nodded, "Eighty percent of the time. I'm going to pick two people to monitor Zhao Junyi every day."

Yun Yan looked at Yun Xi once, then again, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Yun Xi knew what he meant. He was simply worried that she was so concerned about Zhao Junyi's affairs because she still had feelings for him.

From Yun Yan's perspective, it was none of their business what happened between Zhao Junyi and Xue Yao. Ever since the two families broke off the engagement, they had no further connection.

Sooner or later, these two people will suffer the consequences of their actions. If that day comes, he will be happy. But compared with that, he hopes that his younger sister can be happy and stop spending her time on Zhao Junyi. It is better for him to live a good life.

But it’s different for Yunxi. Zhao Junyi is responsible for the life of the original owner.

Therefore, she must always keep an eye on this person's movements.

She wanted to see with her own eyes that this person was getting further and further away from her hopes until they were shattered. Then she wanted to see him struggling and thrashing in agony, but never able to rise again.

However, she couldn't tell Yun Yan about this. She could only say, "Second brother, don't think too much. I'm telling you clearly again that I don't have any romantic feelings for Zhao Junyi."

Yun Yan chuckled, "Okay, I understand. I won't think too much about it in the future. I feel relieved when you explain it clearly like this."

Then he asked curiously, "Why did you go to check Zhao Junyi? Why are you so interested in his affairs?"

Yun Xi thought for a moment and said, "Zhao Junyi is a mean person. I am worried that if he knows that I know about him and Xue Yao, he will become desperate and do harm to us. I am trying to prevent it from happening."

Yun Yan suddenly realized, "Yes, you are right, little sister. It may not be enough to pick only two people. We need to pick a few more to go back to the village to protect my parents. I am worried that they can't deal with us, so they will go to trouble my parents."

Yun Xi seemed to be thinking about something, "Second brother, your worry is not unreasonable."

As they were talking, they came to the gate of a blue brick courtyard.

Yun Yan walked forward and knocked on the door. Soon, the door opened a crack and a little head popped out from inside. The child looked about six or seven years old.

When he saw that the people coming were Yun Xi and Yun Yan, his eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately opened the door and shouted in surprise, "Master, you are here, come in."

Yun Yan stepped forward and knocked on the child's head, saying unhappily, "Hey, Little Thirty, I'm right in front of you. You only see your master and can't see me, right?"

Yun Sanshi grinned, "Hey, hello, Second Young Master."

Yun Yan pinched his chubby little face and said, "Have you not been eating well recently? Why don't you see any fat on your face?"

Yun Sanshi didn't care about his pinched face, and immediately looked at Yun Xi and said, "No, master, I have eaten well and I have grown taller recently."

Yun Xi also noticed that he had grown taller, so she walked over and touched his head, "Well, you should eat more and grow taller."

After that, he asked, "Where is your master?"

Yun Sanshi closed the door again and replied, "Master is training with the brothers and sisters in the martial arts training ground. I'll go call Master now."

Yun Xi hurriedly stopped him, "No need, we can just go over there."
