“I won’t stop you from returning to the Yun family for the New Year. And, I’ll personally settle the problem with them once you are ready.”
Xiao Jinglin knew how everyone in the Yun family had treated Yun Xi. Although she wasn’t the real Yun Xi, as her real father, he still had to repay them for raising her.
It wasn’t as if Yun Xi had never thought of leaving the Yun family; it was just that the time wasn’t right.
She hadn’t found the chance to do that yet. No matter how badly Yun Yuanfeng had treated her, she still had her grandfather, who had made her who she was. There was no way she would not repay that kindness.
“We’ll leave dealing with the Yun family until another time,” Yun Xi said. “At least until we find my mother first.”
Leaving the Yun family wasn’t the most important matter for Yun Xi at that moment, especially not when Yun Yuanfeng was on the verge of getting a promotion. If he had learned who Yun Xi really was, he would’ve asked for a lot of things from Xiao Jinglin.
Yun Xi would never have minded if Yun Yuanfeng had actually shown her the love a parent should show their child, but for the past eighteen years, she had never felt an ounce of love from the man she thought was her father. There was no way she would let such a man trouble her real father.
“We’ll do that then,” Xiao Jinglin nodded. Although he could leave the matter for another time, he still wanted his daughter to live with him. “Since your grandfather is here too, let’s have a housewarming party. Considering you are still a student, we’ve chosen a house that’s not far from the campus. It’s equipped with almost anything you can think of. Just let Xiaoer and Xiaosi know if you need anything else. I’ve also moved all of my security detail back here, so that place is as safe as Mu Mansion.”
That was what was troubling Yun Xi the most at the moment.
On one side was her father, while on the other side was the man she loved. No matter who she picked, she would upset the other one. It was something that she just couldn’t choose.
“About that…” Yun Xi turned around and tugged Mu Feichi’s shirt as if she wanted him to give his opinion.
The Young Commander looked at the lady who was borderline begging him and then at his future father-in-law. In the end, he came up with a solution that would benefit both of them.
“Since Uncle Jing has finally gotten reunited with his daughter after all these years, it would’ve been unfair for me to keep her to myself. Why don’t we let her stay with you for the time being?”
After getting punched by Xiao Jinglin, Mu Feichi came to realize that his future father-in-law would never go down without a fight. He knew he had to find a way to make sure her father wouldn’t hate him.
If Xiao Jinglin was just no more than a normal man, he could’ve settled it with money. Unfortunately for him, the head of the Xiao family had all the money and power a man could’ve ever wanted. Not only could Mu Feichi not buy Yun Xi out, but Xiao Jinglin was more than rich enough to slap a thick check on his face to make him leave Yun Xi.
Mu Feichi had decided to hold his urges down to prevent any unwanted complications and to ensure that he could marry Yun Xi in the future.
In the end, he would still be able to live a larger part of his life with Yun Xi in the future.
Yun Xi turned to look at the Young Commander in utter shock, not expecting that he would actually let her live with her father. She stared into his eyes, wanting to make sure that she had heard the right thing.
Also, she didn’t want him to come to terms with her father now and then ask for repayment from her once they were in bed.
“Great! Now that this is settled, let’s celebrate New Year’s Eve at the new mansion then!”
Xiao Jinglin didn’t add anything else now that Mu Feichi had agreed to let Yun Xi move.
“Okay. I’m pretty sure no one will head back to the Yun family this New Year’s Eve. I’ll let Grandpa know beforehand.”
Yun Xi was right that almost no one in the Yun family would be celebrating New Year’s Eve. With Yun Ziling in the psych ward, Liang Xiuqin in prison, and Yun Yuanfeng running about for his unborn son, only a few members would still be available.
It wouldn’t be New Year’s Eve if most of the family members weren’t present to celebrate it.
