Abandoned after first marriage due to infertility, married into a wealthy family and had two childre
Chapter 443: Circuitous Measures
Xue Yunyun rushed to Qi's house.
From a distance, I saw my cousin Qi Hang standing at the gate.
She got out of the car, threw the car keys to the servant, and greeted Qi Hang with a smile: "Cousin, long time no see."
Qi Hang put one hand in his pocket and smiled back, "Cousin Yunyun, long time no see."
The polite and unfamiliar tone made Xue Yunyun feel a little uncomfortable.
But she didn't show it, and raised the beautifully wrapped gift box in her hand: "Let's go in, don't let the elders wait too long."
Qi Hang raised his eyebrows and looked at the gift in Xue Yunyun's hand. He didn't expect that she had prepared a gift. Was she really here to celebrate her birthday?
He has reservations about this.
The two of them walked into the Qi family's living room from a distance.
In the huge hall, the overall decoration style is mainly Chinese retro, which is both solemn and simple, and it matches Qi Yiming's identity very well.
As soon as Xue Yunyun came in, he became the focus of the whole audience.
——One is that she had the temperament of a daughter of a noble family who was pampered and taught by Xue Shaoyang, and the other is that her clothes were expensive and full of jewels, which made her look out of place with everyone else present.
Xue Yunyun was also scanning the entire scene - his uncle's family, his eldest aunt's family, his second aunt's family, and Qi Wanxin and her husband.
Apart from that, no outsiders saw it.
It turned out to be a family dinner.
Xue Yunyun felt a little disdainful. His uncle obviously held an important position, but his birthday celebration was so shabby that he only invited his family members. What a pretentious guy!
This is also an important reason why she is unwilling to interact with relatives on her mother's side.
She was the delicate eldest daughter of the Xue family, and she would never come to such a shabby banquet if invited.
She glanced at the untouched food on the table and found that it was just as she had imagined, bland and unappetizing.
Qi Hang, who was standing aside, took in the contempt in Xue Yunyun's eyes without making any expression, and his expression gradually turned cold.
"Yunyun is here? Come quickly, I'm just waiting for you."
Qi Wanxin happily stepped forward, took Xue Yunyun's hand, and pulled her to Qi Yiming's side.
"Brother, Yunyun is here to celebrate your birthday. Look, she even brought you a gift. She's such a good kid, so sensible now!"
Qi Wanxin was no longer depressed as she had been before the banquet, and her eyes and brows were filled with joy.
Xue Yunyun had a well-behaved smile on his face, holding the gift box in both hands: "Uncle, I wish you a happy birthday, good health, happiness every year, and success in everything!"
Qi Yiming nodded calmly with a smile on his face: "Well, good boy, I appreciate your kindness, but I won't give you any gifts."
Xue Yunyun immediately pouted in dissatisfaction: "No, uncle, this is Yunyun's heartfelt gift, you must accept it."
Qi Yiming pointed at the other nephews at the table and said, "I've said it before, today is just a family gathering, no birthday celebrations, and no gifts."
Xue Yunyun glanced at her other cousins and saw that they were all smiling at her in a friendly manner, so she smiled and nodded as well.
But I felt even more contempt in my heart. They came to the birthday party without any gifts and didn't even have the most basic etiquette. They were such a bunch of poor people!
She looked at Qi Wanxin: "Mom~~"
Qi Wanxin was flattered by the word "Mom" and helped her daughter speak up: "Brother, Yunyun finally got together with us, please make an exception and accept her little gift."
As he spoke, he winked at Qi Yiming.
Seeing his little sister's pleading expression, Qi Yiming pursed his lips and finally said, "Okay, this won't happen again."
Xue Yunyun was happy. She pulled Qi Wanxin and acted coquettishly: "Mom, your words are still effective."
Qi Wanxin was overjoyed by her daughter calling her "Mom" again and again. Her daughter had never been so close to her before, and she was simply flattered.
"Okay, everyone take a seat."
Qi Yiming's gaze lingered on Xue Yunyun thoughtfully for a moment, then moved away without making a sound.
A family dinner, both the guests and the hosts enjoyed themselves.
After dinner, the men followed Qi Yiming to the study, and the women gathered together to chat and laugh. The cousins who had not dared to get close to Xue Yunyun in the past surrounded her, and the scene was full of joy.
"Cousin, you smell so good, what's that smell, it smells so classy."
"Cousin, your bag is so beautiful. It must be the latest model from Chanel this season. I saw a model holding it on the catwalk. It's hard to get."
"Cousin, your dress is so beautiful. Are all those shiny things real diamonds?"
"..."
My cousins are all from well-off families. Although they are not poor, they are not so wealthy that they wear all kinds of luxury goods.
It was a rare opportunity to see so many beautiful things at once. Everyone's eyes lit up and they stuck to Xue Yunyun, asking questions.
Xue Yunyun always maintained an elegant and decent smile.
In fact, I am almost annoyed to death by these poor people who have never seen the world.
If she didn't want something, she wouldn't waste her time here.
While answering questions from her cousins and elders, she was thinking about how to get along with her uncle alone and put some pressure on Bai Xiaowei.
She couldn't mobilize anyone from the Xue family now, and Brother Xiaorui was keeping a close eye on Bai Xiaowei, so she couldn't get close to Bai Xiaowei at all. Abduction would definitely not work.
It would be even better if I could use my uncle's identity to ask Bai Xiaowei out alone.
When she saw the servant coming out of the study with a teapot, she immediately stood up and said, "Give it to me."
The servant looked at her hesitantly: "Miss cousin..."
Xue Yunyun smiled generously: "I am very good at making tea. I will show my skills to my uncles and uncles-in-law."
When everyone heard this, they all smiled and praised her for being sensible.
Qi Wanxin smiled with her eyebrows curved, and looked at her daughter proudly: "My dear daughter, don't get tired!"
Xue Yunyun smiled playfully: "No, mom, I will come to you more often to show my filial piety in the future."
Hearing this, Qi Wanxin felt more relieved.
Xue Yunyun brewed tea and brought it into the study.
The men in the study were chatting excitedly. When they saw her come in, they were a little surprised. They stopped talking at the same time and looked at Xue Yunyun.
Qi Hang stood up and said, "Thank you, cousin Yunyun. Just give it to me."
Xue Yunyun avoided his hand and blinked, "Cousin, are you trying to steal my credit?"
Her tone is playful and full of girlish coquettishness, and coupled with her delicate little face, it is hard not to make the elders feel pity for her.
My uncle smiled and said, "Qi Hang, please sit down. It's a rare opportunity for Yunyun to make tea for us, so please don't make trouble."
Qi Hang's mouth twitched. Why did he cause trouble?
The second uncle glanced at Xue Yunyun's father who remained silent, and flattered him, "That's right, Yunyun is a rich lady. It's an honor to drink tea brewed by a rich lady herself."
Xue Yunyun lowered his eyes, hiding the displeasure and contempt in his eyes, picked up the teapot and began to pour tea for everyone.
The sky-blue tea set, filled with amber fragrant tea, is served one by one by white jade hands.
The men in the study did not hesitate to praise her.
Xue Yunyun stood aside modestly, looking neither arrogant nor impatient.
Qi Yiming glanced at her and became increasingly confused about her purpose.
He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and nodded, "Not bad."
Xue Yunyun picked up the teapot and pretended to add more tea. At this moment, Qi Yiming's cell phone on the table dinged.
He picked it up casually, unlocked his phone, and saw that it was a message from the work group.
After browsing it, he found that it was not an urgent business, so he put the phone back on the table.
Xue Yunyun suppressed his inner joy, picked up the teapot and walked over to add tea for Qi Yiming.
Suddenly, she tripped and leaned forward involuntarily. The tea spilled out of the spout of the pot due to inertia. The scalding hot tea floated in the air, and most of it just happened to spill on the mobile phone whose screen was still on.
A small part of it also spilled on the back of Xue Yunyun's hand and arm.
The snow-white skin turned visibly red.
Xue Yunyun, in his panic, managed to hold onto the edge of the table and avoided falling.
"Yunyun, are you okay?" Xue Yunyun's father immediately stood up and asked with concern.
Qi Yiming looked over and saw the redness and swelling on his niece's arm. He told Qi Hang, "Go get the burn ointment."
Qi Hang responded, got up and went out.
Xue Yunyun shook her head with tears in her eyes: "It's Yunyun who is useless. I disturbed everyone's interest in drinking tea..."
Before he could finish his words, he covered his face and ran out in shame.
When Qi Hang returned to the study with the burn ointment, he saw that the atmosphere in the study was solemn.
Xue Yunyun's father, Xue Hengyuan, was tearfully telling us about the difficulties Xue Yunyun faced in the Xue family.
"...Yunyun is such a difficult child. It's not that she doesn't want to be close to her uncle, aunt, and cousins, but it's really that my cousin Xue Shaoyang treats people harshly... If the tea-making incident today happened at the Xue family, Yunyun would definitely be punished by the family rules..."
Qi Hang looked at Xue Hengyuan in surprise and didn't believe what he said at all.
Xue Yunyun's appearance as a proud little princess doesn't match the Xue Yunyun he described at all.
Suddenly, his eyes fixed, and he interrupted Xue Hengyuan and asked, "Dad, where's your cell phone?"
