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

Chapter 23: The Handsome Man
Seeing this, Yun Ximo immediately stepped back more than a meter to increase the distance between them. She was secretly alert in her heart, thinking that this man was definitely a dangerous existence.

The girl blinked innocently and asked tentatively, "Can I go now? My dad wants me to go home for dinner."

Si Yici smiled calmly, not exposing her lie. "You can leave now."

Yun Ximo's eyes curved into crescents as if she had been granted amnesty. She said softly and obediently, "See you later, buddy!" After that, she slipped away quickly as if her feet were greased.

The little girl quickly disappeared from sight.

A hint of coldness flashed in Si Yici's eyes, "Will we never meet again?" he whispered to himself.

When Yun Ximo returned to the Yun family, Shu Manli was sitting elegantly on the sofa in the living room, waiting for Yun Yutong to come back.

Yun Yutong smiled and explained to Shu Manli, "Mom, I practiced the piano a little longer with my aunt today." Yun Ximo ignored the mother-daughter conversation and walked straight to the sofa to sit down, tapping her fingertips lightly on the coffee table. She casually asked the butler to pour her tea. When the butler handed the tea to her, she blew on it leisurely, looking like she was enjoying a quiet and beautiful show.

“Don’t push yourself, take your time.”

Yun Ximo half-leaned on the sofa, pushed her slightly messy black hair behind her ears, and then took out her cell phone.

At this time, Yun Yutong walked over and sat on the sofa next to Yun Ximo, a hint of surprise flashed across her face: "Sister, why are you back so late? I think I saw you today..."

Yun Ximo raised her chin: "Where did I leave?" Yun Yutong looked up and said weakly: "I clearly saw you coming out of a hotel."

Yun Ximo looked at Yun Yutong's innocent face and secretly sighed in her heart. The original owner of the previous life was indeed easily toyed with by her. "So what if I came out of the hotel?"

Yun Yutong frowned imperceptibly: "Sister, don't play dumb, I saw it all, there is a man." Yun Ximo said in a light tone: "Then what do you want to say?"

Shu Manli's face instantly darkened. "You've been hanging out with those questionable people all day, and now you're even checking into a room with a man! Yun Ximo, you really disappoint me!"

Her voice became increasingly sharp: "Are you going to make a scene?" Yun Yutong's eyes flashed with cunning, and she quickly soothed her: "Mom, don't be angry. It's not good for your health to get angry."

Shu Manli was so angry that she slammed the marble table beside her, her brows furrowed, her eyes burning with anger: "You are so presumptuous! If you continue like this, the Yun family will be turned upside down by you!"

Yun Ximo lazily sat on the sofa, raised her eyelids slightly, and said in a flat tone: "People with dirty hearts will see everything as dirty."

Yun Yutong rolled her eyes and said with feigned concern, "Sister, Mom and I didn't mean that." Yun Ximo tilted her head slightly, her face serious, "Oh, then, what do you mean?"

Yun Ximo supported her chin and raised her eyebrows: "My friend is coming to Dongcheng to play, so of course he has to stay in a hotel. But then again, we have quite a few guest rooms."

Shu Manli lost her patience and said with displeasure, "You must immediately cut off all ties with those shady friends of your past and stop bringing anyone home."

She paused and said, "I have hired a new etiquette teacher for you. You must study hard and don't drive away other teachers like you did before."

Yun Ximo's eyelashes were long and thick, gently drooping, obscuring her incredibly charming phoenix eyes. "Oh, that," she replied casually with a restrained smile, her eyes revealing an indescribable uninhibitedness. "Uncle said I don't need to learn these things." "Enough!" Shu Manli slammed the table again. "When did I ever teach you to be like this? You lie every time you open your mouth?"

Yun Ximo stood up, listened intently, and walked straight upstairs.

Shu Manli was so angry at Yun Ximo's attitude that she was shaking all over, but she still suppressed her anger and shouted towards the stairs, "Don't think you're getting cocky just because Old Man Yun took you back, right?!"

Yun Ximo stopped and turned her back to Shu Manli, smiling: "Does it have anything to do with you?"

He is such a hopeless person, he is indeed a person who grew up in the countryside and is not worthy of being in public.

Shu Manli's face turned pale and her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

"Mom, please don't get angry and make yourself sick." Yun Yutong patted Shu Manli's back and hesitated for a moment. "Dad seemed to have mentioned this yesterday. Sister doesn't need to learn it."

Shu Manli sneered, "Your father doesn't understand. He's a man, how could he understand the importance of etiquette for women?" She hired an etiquette teacher just for show, letting the wealthy know that she, as an aunt, treated her even more seriously than her own daughter. As for whether Yun Ximo learned or not, that was her problem. The more disobedient and rebellious Yun Ximo became, the happier she became.

Yun Yutong looked at Yun Ximo's figure, a subtle smile flashed in her eyes.

"How could the prestigious Shi family in Dongcheng accept such a daughter-in-law? She's uneducated, fights and skips school, hangs out with hooligans, and can't even learn the most basic etiquette of a lady. No wonder she can't win Shi Heshen's favor."

Yun Yutong thought to herself, and the smile on her face became brighter and more vivid.

"Mothers-in-law in wealthy families are particularly picky about their daughters-in-law's backgrounds. How can a daughter who grew up outside be compared to Yun Yimeng, the doted-on younger sister-in-law who grew up in the Yun family and was always loved?"

"What the Shi family needs is a daughter-in-law who matches them and can bring honor and benefits to the Shi family. But Yun Ximo, her past is full of bad deeds, a stain that cannot be erased."

A smug arc appeared at the corner of Yun Yutong's mouth, as if she had already seen the scene where Yun Ximo was heartbroken after the Shi family broke off the engagement.

After returning to the room, Yun Ximo held her forehead and sighed softly, thinking of that man, and said in frustration: "It was all that hateful guy's fault."

However, this regret did not last long, and Yun Ximo quickly put the matter of that man behind her.

She was thinking about how to relieve the violent aura of the man, otherwise she would be killed by the heat. She thought of the "Stretch Your Legs and Stare at the Eyes Pill" in the game warehouse, but then she thought again, the man was not poisoned, and she did not dare to give it to him without authorization.

To put it another way, even if she really took it out, the man might not believe her.

It would be great if Lolo was here. This guy has been elusive lately, and I don’t know which world he’s wandered off to.

Oh my god! Thinking about being coerced by that bastard, she looked forward to Luo Luo's appearance, but this guy who always disappeared at the critical moment, oh no, the dog was always missing.
