Am I destined to be cannon fodder? Unlock the system and lead the motherland

Chapter 20 Little White Lotus is here to show off

"Her reputation in this circle is already bad. If we continue to let it go like this, she won't have to attend various banquets and bring shame to our Yun family."

Yun Ling disapproved, "This child's personality is just as unrestrained as her elder brother's. If she doesn't want to learn, there's no need to force her. Besides, she might not be interested in those banquets."

Yun Yutong said softly, "Dad, I've noticed that my sister doesn't seem to have many serious friends. If she attends more parties, she'll be able to meet more people. We're all in the same circle. Knowing friends is always better than hanging out with those 'hooligans' out there."

Yun Ling's eyes fixed on her for a moment. "Yutong, where did you hear these words? How can you so easily judge someone as a 'thug'? We can't make a conclusion based on just one side of the story."

Yun Yutong's eyes flickered as she explained, "Dad, I didn't mean to slander my sister. Just a little inquiry would reveal she's associated with some 'hooligans.'" Yun Ling stared at her. "Who did you ask? Those playboys who only care about eating, drinking and having fun? You just returned from abroad today. Do you know anything about her? Don't trust other people's one-sided statements."

"I'm just worried that my sister will be influenced by those bad trends. After all, this circle is complicated and changeable. I'm also concerned about the reputation of the Yun family." Yun Yutong's tone was somewhat sincere, as if she was really worried about the future of the Yun family.

"But, Dad, my sister..." Yun Yutong wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Yun Ling.

"Okay, I know what to do about this matter. You two sisters should not let these little things become a barrier between you." Yun Ling's words were filled with unquestionable majesty, forcing Yun Yutong to shut up silently and think about the new plan in her mind.

Shu Manli's face darkened. "Which of her outrageous deeds didn't I suppress with all my might? Even though some rumors still spread. Nowadays, our Yun family has become a laughing stock in wealthy circles. Whether it's overt or covert, we're inevitably ridiculed."

Mentioning Yun Yimeng, Shu Manli's anger flared up again. "This Shi family marriage had nothing to do with Yun Ximo in the first place. After the two families got engaged, Yun Ximo actually went around complacently trying to embarrass and warn her aunt. You know, this marriage was originally her aunt's. Now, everyone in the circle knows that Yun Ximo stole her aunt's man."

Shu Manli took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and continued, "By doing this, she not only brought shame upon the Yun family, but also tarnished the reputation of our entire Yun family. I really can't understand how she could be so selfish and ignorant!"

Yun Ling shook his head and sighed, "How can this be blamed on her? This marriage was originally just a joke between the two elders. At that time, Yun Ximo had not yet been born into this world."

"Later, when Mr. Shi learned that his eldest brother, who worked in Mingjing, had a daughter, he came up with the idea of ​​finalizing this marriage. Furthermore, Mr. Shi never mentioned Yun Yimeng's name from beginning to end. Where did all those rumors come from? Manli, don't you think this is a bit strange?"

Shu Manli's face darkened instantly. "Don't you understand Yun Yimeng's character? She wouldn't even hurt a tiny ant. How could you associate her with those rumors?"

Yun Ling's brows were furrowed, his eyes a little cold. "I'm not doubting Yi Meng's character. She was kind when she was little, not now. She has indeed changed a lot. As for whether she would do such a thing, I don't know. Who can truly know what she is thinking?"

"Rumors are spreading everywhere, and it happened so soon after the two families got engaged. This is too much of a coincidence. If it weren't for someone deliberately doing it, how could it spread so quickly in the circle?"

"Besides, Momo doesn't have much affection for the child from the Shi family." Shu Manli's expression became even more displeased after hearing this. "Are you suspecting Yimeng of deliberately spreading rumors? That's impossible. How could she be so scheming and cunning?"

She paused, her tone filled with sadness, "We watched Yimeng grow up. Her innocence and kindness are obvious to all of us. She has been subjected to such suspicion without any reason. How do you expect her to feel?"

Yun Ling frowned displeased, "Momo is still young. She should be protected as she just arrived, but now she is in such a situation. How can she be innocent?"

"I believe Momo is not the kind of person who makes trouble for no reason. Her grievances also need to be taken seriously." Yun Ling insisted on his own opinion, with an unquestionable tone.

After returning to the room, Yun Ximo closed the door and moved a chair to the floor-to-ceiling window. Before she could even sit down, there was a knock on the door. It was so annoying. Is everyone so idle?

Yun Ximo chose to ignore it, but the knocking on the door continued, and the knocking became more and more determined. Yun Yutong's sweet voice rang out: "Sister, are you in the room?"

Yun Ximo was surprised. Why did Yun Yutong come here suddenly? They just met today and their relationship was not so close that she would automatically think that Yun Yutong treated her as a sister, but it was definitely not a good thing.

I clearly saw her returning to her room from the restaurant, so this question was unnecessary. If she wasn't inside, how could she be outside? Yun Ximo rolled her eyes, then slowly walked to the door, leaning casually against the door frame, and asked in a cold tone, "What's the matter?"

Her voice was like fingertips touching piano keys, clear and ethereal, drawing Yun Yutong's gaze upwards. She saw a pair of distinct black and white eyes, clear yet a bit distant. Shifting her gaze downward, Yun Yutong noticed Yun Ximo was wearing a simple, traditional Chinese-style embroidered white sweatshirt paired with black leggings. While the outfit was ordinary, it revealed a unique beauty on her.

Although Yun Yutong was unwilling to admit it in her heart, she clenched her hands.

Yun Yutong forced a smile and said, "Sister, can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do? I never thought I would have such a beautiful sister. I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

After saying this, she sneered in her heart. In her opinion, not everyone can be her sister.

Yun Ximo felt good when she heard that. Of course she could hear the hypocrisy in Yun Yutong's words, but she was too lazy to expose it. After all, who can't act?
Then, Yun Yutong changed the subject and began to show off her background: "Thinking about how you, my sister, grew up away from home, while I grew up in the Yun family, enjoying the best educational resources, my mother would hire the best private tutor to teach me aristocratic etiquette." She deliberately emphasized her superiority, trying to highlight the gap between her and Yun Ximo.

Seeing Yun Ximo's calm and unmoved expression, Yun Yutong still maintained a sweet smile: "My daily necessities are all specially customized by the Yun family. As my parents' only daughter, every piece of clothing I wear is carefully made by a well-known brand."
