Chen Yichen smiled when he confirmed he hadn’t recognized the wrong person. His calm and expressive eyes reflected her inclined little face.
She was a complete mess on the street corner and looked like a homeless child.
The afterglow of the sunset shone in diagonally from the end of the street, and Yun Xi’s exquisite, tiny face was cast into sharp shadows under the sunlight.
There was a halo on her fair skin when she looked up at him without any ulterior motives whatsoever.
Her dark and thick eyelashes trembled slightly; she appeared like the most magnificent gem in the world.
As for the man standing before her—he was dressed elegantly in a white shirt with black pants, his figure tall and stately.
Yun Xi blinked. The man in front of her was only a few years older than her, yet he already possessed the aura that belonged to a dangerous, lethal beauty.
His aura was elegant, and his face was gorgeous.
He offered a hand to her and smiled devilishly. Taking advantage of his older age, he didn’t treat her as an outsider at all, “Little Yun Xi, are you homeless now?”
“You really like to poke fun at people’s pains!” Yun Xi bit her lip in exasperation as she gave him a glare.
This guy was an angel one moment, then a devil in the next!
“Don’t just stare off into space; get up! I’ll take you home!”
He owed her for saving his life, and now that they’ve run into each other again. He felt that he needed to find an opportunity to properly repay her. He wasn’t one to have a habit of owing other people favors!
Yun Xi allowed him to help her stand up as she carefully studied the stitched up and dressed the wound on his neck. She pointed to the wound and asked, “You don’t need to stay at the hospital for observation?”
“No.” Chen Yichen slowed his speech, “Why are you here? Weren’t you supposed to go home?”
Yun Xi shrugged helplessly when he mentioned this topic. She turned to look at Jiang Wanyun walking over and nodded politely to her. “Madam.”
“Girl, didn’t you go home?” Jiang Wanyun walked over to them.
“I did go back, but my cousin came a day earlier and replaced me. Now my mom is accepting her but rejecting me, so she thinks I’m an imposter and that my cousin is her real daughter.”
“How could this be? What kind of mother would refuse to accept her own child? No matter what, how could she possibly accept the wrong child?”
Jiang Wanyun also thought the whole incident was unbelievable; she had never actually met a mother who acted like that!
Yun Xi smiled wryly and gave a simple explanation of the events before selling them the reason why she was here.
“Madam, do you live here? Can you take me inside? I want to go to the Jiang family and speak to Grandfather Jiang.”
“The Jiangs?” Jiang Wanyun’s heart began to thump.
The Four Great Clans were the only ones living there, so the Jiangs can only be referring to her own family.
Yun Xi took out her jade pendant and looked at Jiang Wanyun helplessly. “My grandfather hasn’t come home yet, so no one can prove my identity. I only have the jade pendant on me right now.”
Jiang Wanyun finally understood at the moment she saw the jade pendant. The Yun family that Yun Xi was referring to was actually the same Yun family that’d had an arranged marriage with the Jiangs.
“So you’re Yun Xi? What a coincidence!”
The girl was naive, and she didn’t look like someone with ulterior motives.
Chen Yichen took the jade pendant and had a look at it. His eyes darkened slightly when he recognized Yun Xi’s identity.
But no one would have thought that the eldest heiress of the Yuns would actually be his savior!
“A coincidence? Madam, what do you mean by that?
Yun Xi blinked her eyes, yet she was fully aware that she could only play dumb at a time like this.
“My surname is Jiang, and I am Miss Jiang. The Grandfather Jiang you are looking for is my father, and you are in an arranged marriage with my nephew.”
“So…”
“Father had heard about Yichen getting injured, so he should be at the Chens’ home right now. Come home with me! With my father there, he will make things right for you!”
No matter what, Yun Xi was considered a savior to the Chens, and that equated to being a savior of the Jiangs.
Her father wouldn’t sit idly by if this kind of thing was happening.
Yun Xi glanced at Chen Yichen and nodded slightly.
She would make the Yuns personally come to escort her home!
