《Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time!》Chapter 17: Yearn for a Dress
Advertisement
"Eldest Aunt and Second Aunt, you're here. Are you all here to talk to my mom?"
The first thing Yun Xi did when she entered the room was to protect Chen Li behind her. She secretly gestured for Chen Li to do what she was supposed to do. Yun Xi stayed here to cope with the situation.
"Nothing much. I'm just here to see your mother."
"Yes, just to sit and chat."
Liu Fang and Ma Yan chimed in.
Liu Fang had learned to be smart. She now knew that Yun Xi was different from the past. It was better to be cautious when dealing with this little girl.
Therefore, she would not be the one to stand out now, let alone the second daughter-in-law. Liu Fang jogged Yun Lian's arm secretly.
Yun Lian understood what Liu Fang meant. Though unwilling, she had to listen to her adoptive mother. Otherwise, her life here would be even more difficult.
"Sister, I heard that the second young master of the Zhou family has sent you some rare fruits and two dresses. We haven't even seen them before. We came here to take a look at them."
Wanting the dresses was, of course, Yun Lian's idea.
After all, these two daughter-in-laws were only here to get some fruits. They were not planning to get the dresses. Yun Lian was the only person in the entire family who was about the same age as Yun Xi and could have the intention of getting the dresses. She was the little granddaughter whom Old Madam Yun was biased toward.
Ha!
Yun Xi sneered in her heart.
If Yun Lian only listened to her aunt's words and asked about the rare fruits, Yun Xi would not sink to her level.
Nevertheless, a leopard never changed its spots. Since Yun Lian was being a slut, Yun Xi should not be blamed for not showing her any mercy.

"Sister, everyone wears different clothes. You can't look at each and every type of clothes. There's nothing much to see."
Yun Xi deliberately avoided the important points and mentioned the two flowery dresses that Yun Lian cared about the most. She did not mention anything about those rare fruits.
Liu Fang looked at her incompetent daughter, her eyes full of anger. That little slut only cared about the two dresses! If Yun Lian failed to let her younger brother, Yun Lang, taste the rare fruits today, Liu Fang would definitely not let her have it easy.
Yun Lian, who was in a bad mood, did not notice her aunt's angry expression at that moment. She was still thinking about the two flowery dresses and continued to speak only about this matter.
In fact, Yun Lian was not stupid. She knew that even if she managed to get those rare fruits today, most of the tasty ones would be divided among the three of them when she returned to her eldest aunt's room. In particular, Yun Lang would not leave any for her.
She might as well take the risk and see if she could get a dress. After all, it was a female item. It would not be easy for her younger brother to take it away.
"Sister, those dresses are from the city, after all. I've never seen them before. Can you please show me?"
Despite looking pathetic, she was very keen on seeing the dresses. Nevertheless, if Yun Xi took out the two dresses, one of them would definitely go to that woman. Even if Yun Lian did not take advantage of Yun Xi in the end, Yun Xi would definitely need to talk her out of it using a lot of effort and persuasion.
Yun Xi simply chose not to take the dresses out so that Yun Lian would not keep thinking about them.

"Sister, as you know, Old Master Zhou was the one who sent these clothes to me from the city. Those gifts signify his kindness. I treasure the dresses very much, so I've put them away. Now, if I were to rummage around for the dresses at home, it would definitely take some effort. Isn't it going to be the start of school soon? I should be wearing the dresses to school. You'll get to see them in two days, so there's no need to rush."
Considering Yun Xi's words, Yun Lian could not continue to be aggressive. Yun Lian could only count herself unlucky. Perhaps she could get her grandmother to think of another solution.
Liu Fang was at the side, and her lungs were about to explode from anger. The useless piece of trash did not get any fruits or clothes. She was really not helping out here!
It seemed that Liu Fang had to handle the matter by herself.
"Alright, Yun Xi. Let's not talk about the dresses, but can you take those rare fruits out to broaden our horizons?"
As expected, they still had not dismissed the idea of getting these things.
Yun Xi felt the need to teach them a lesson!
