1875

Since something so serious had happened to Yun Yuanfeng, he was bound to use this poor girl. This was originally part of the plan as well, but when he saw how aggrieved the girl looked, he wanted to make Yun Yuanfeng suffer! After all, when this girl designed her scheme, she had been merciful to Yun Yuanfeng. If it were up to him, he would not have been so kind.

Xiao Jinglin went into the kitchen and came out after making a cup of hot cocoa. Then, he took Yun Xi’s cold hands and placed the cup in her palms.

“At the end of the day, it’s necessary to solve this matter once and for all. If you are hesitant, you will eventually become complaisant. I know that you have a good heart and principles, but have you ever stopped to think that perhaps people like Yun Yuanfeng have no principles?”

“I just think it’s too ruthless, and I feel sorry for Grandpa.”

“Grandfather Yun is a sensible man. Besides, Yun Yuanfeng is not his only son. It doesn’t matter to him if he has one less son like him. Being a man his age, if he still couldn’t see straight, he wouldn’t be living such a carefree life without bothering himself with the affairs of the younger generation.”

Xiao Jinglin was brought up in a big family like his own. Was there even any kind of person that he had not seen before? To put it nicely, Grandfather Yun could be said to be carefree, but in other words, he was simply uncaring. If he truly cared about his eldest granddaughter, Yun Xi, he would have allowed her to visit them in Jingdu at least once during her past seventeen years. He sent money to the countryside to support his granddaughter every month, probably because he did not want people in the military region residences to think that the Yun family was cold-blooded and ruthless.

Although Grandfather Yun treated her well after the girl had returned to Jingdu, it was only because of her likelihood of becoming in-laws with the Jiang family. He did not want to seem improper in front of Grandfather Jiang and end up ruining his relationship with a powerful man.

However, because this girl was filial, she naively thought that the old man actually treated her well. She had no idea that Grandfather Yun simply did all that for his family’s reputation so that the Yun family could stay in the military region residences despite their lowly status.

The Yun family had no military contribution whatsoever, and the only reason Grandfather Yun was able to live in the residences was because of Grandfather Jiang. Although he had made his way into the military region residences, he was nothing more than a parasite. His family was the least respected and most incompetent family around.

As an outsider, Xiao Jinglin could see the true motives and intentions better than anyone else. Nevertheless, he did not break it to Yun Xi because he truly did not want to take away the last bit of warmth in her heart.

“Yun Yuanfeng got on my last nerve today, so I’m not going to be soft-hearted anymore! I have instructed Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi to go to the hospital and take Lin Shuhua away, then release the fake news of Lin Shuhua’s death so that the Lin family will make things worse. If losing the baby wasn’t a big enough deal, then a dead person would certainly attract everyone’s attention. Then, Yun Yuanfeng won’t be able to free himself from the consequences so easily this time. Even if he doesn’t come begging me for the sake of his future, he will be begging me to save his life.”

Xiao Jinglin smiled and reached out to pat her head. “Good that you have everything figured out! Well, don’t think too much about it now. After you finish drinking this, go take a hot bath and have a good night’s rest!”

“I will! Have a good rest yourself. Good night!”

Holding the warm cup in her hands, she climbed up the stairs. She was exhausted after such a long night. The big plans she had could wait until tomorrow. After all, she was looking forward to witnessing the exciting scandal unfold.

It was not until he heard the sound of the door closing upstairs that Xiao Jinglin silently retracted his gaze. He lowered his head, took out his phone from his coat, and called Xiaoyi. As soon as the call was connected, he gave out his order in a deep, gloomy voice.

“Tomorrow morning, send all the information you have on Yun Yuanfeng’s malfeasance, corruption, and prostitution to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and leak it to the media so that all the news outlets in Jingdu can supervise the subsequent trial! I’ll make him die an undignified man for messing with my daughter!”

“Yes, boss!”
