Transmigrated into a wealthy family's stepmother, I raised the villain into a sweet child.

Jinxi's expression didn't change when she saw that it was Jin Yun.

Su Yan, on the other hand, was somewhat surprised: "Jin Yun, it's been a long time."

Jin Yun smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen Sister Su Yan."

Only then did he turn his gaze to Jinxi, a hint of displeasure and disgust flashing in his eyes.

They both wore red dresses today, but Jin Yun's was more of an evening gown, with an off-the-shoulder neckline that revealed her delicate collarbones, and a string of shimmering white pearl necklace around her neck, making her look very dignified and elegant.

Jin Yun glanced at Jin Xi's neck and ears. She wasn't wearing any jewelry today, and looked quite plain.

Jin Yun raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking that Jin Xi was living a good life in the Zhou family, but it turned out that she didn't even have a decent set of jewelry.

And she held up cake and juice with both hands, serving Zan Zan.

Just as Mom said, she went to work as a high-class nanny for the Zhou family.

Jin Yun's lips curled into a sarcastic smile. She deserved it!

It's no surprise that marrying someone who can never love you will end tragically.

She turned her gaze to Zan Zan and said in a gentle voice, "Zan Zan, good evening."

Zhou Yanqian was already engrossed in the cake. He didn't even lift his eyelids when he heard Jin Yun's words. He was drinking orange juice, feeling very comfortable.

The trending topic actually caused quite a stir. Su Yan originally wanted to find a private space to gossip with Jin Xi, but she didn't expect that another protagonist would also appear.

Su Yan's gaze lingered subtly between the two adults and the child for a moment before she finally said, "I have to go find my boss. You two can continue your conversation."

Jinxi hummed in agreement: "Let's talk again when we have time."

Zhou Yanqian then said, "Goodbye, Aunt Su Yan."

Be as polite as you can be.

Su Yan said softly, "Goodbye, Zan Zan."

Su Yan stood up and smiled at Jin Yun, whose complexion was clearly not good: "Let's chat sometime."

Jin Yun simply nodded without saying anything more.

Su Yan swiftly left this place of trouble.

Su Yan left, and Zhou Yanqian finally finished his cake. Now he could hold his juice cup, and he sat obediently next to Jin Xi, still not giving Jin Yun a single glance.

Jinxi handed the empty cake plate to the waiter who was weaving through the crowd, completely ignoring Jinyun.

With no one else around, Jin Yun simply stopped pretending and said, "Jin Xi, what are you so smug about?"

Jin Xi slowly raised her head and retorted, "Then what are you being so arrogant about?"

Jin Yun retorted sarcastically, "It's still better than you, you ungrateful wretch."

Zhou Yanqian loosened his straw, and his eyebrows furrowed.

Jinxi seemed unfazed by the attack, asking, "Oh, and then?"

Jin Yun was surprised by Jin Xi's indifferent attitude, and her anger flared up instantly, but there were outsiders around, so she couldn't say anything directly.

She took a deep breath and sat in the spot where Su Yan had just been sitting. Her tone was seemingly intimate, but actually chilling as she said, "Mom waited for you for a long time at the entrance of the complex that day. Do you know how sad and wronged she felt? All these years, our family has wasted our time raising you. Not only do you not repay us, but you even dared to give Mom a hard time. Do you really think that marrying Brother Linxu will make you a phoenix with wings? You don't even have a decent set of jewelry. Don't think you're so easy to take advantage of."

Jin Xi calmly replied, "Whether it's a phoenix or not, I don't know. I know you're in a hurry, but what's the rush?"

What's the rush? Jin Yun only found out that day that some of the cooperation between her family and the Zhou Group had ended. It's obvious that Jin Xi said something to Zhou Linxu.

You Qing went to see Jin Xi for two reasons: first, to get an explanation for Jin Yun, and second, to discuss the Jin family's affairs.

Who would have thought Jinxi would be so shameless! Such an ingrate!

Jin Yun gritted her teeth and said, "Jin Xi, you've made a mess of the house. If you still want to be a member of the Jin family, you'd better apologize to your mother properly."

Jin Xi tilted her head slightly: "Shouldn't we cook a couple of dishes to properly entertain them, and also invite Zhou Linxu to come along so he can bow to your father, your mother, your brother, and you?"

"What does your mistake have to do with Brother Linxu!" Jin Yun said with disgust. "Jin Xi, don't forget why you were able to marry Brother Linxu."

"Oh my, Rin-seo-nii, you're calling me that so affectionately."

Sitting on the other side, Zhou Yanqian sneered, put the juice aside, and used his Little Genius watch to call Zhou Linxu.

He realized that Jin Yun was after Zhou Linxu.

Such rotten romantic entanglements! They don't even know how to control them; everything is coming to Xiaoxi's doorstep!

Jinxi and Jinyun did not notice Zanzan's little tricks.

Jin Xi slightly raised her arm and put her arm around Jin Yun's shoulder, her hand gripping her shoulder as she said without changing her expression, "Jin Yun, speaking of which, I still have some scores to settle with you."

Jin Yun's expression changed drastically, for no other reason than that her shoulder was now in great pain.

She tried to shake off Jinxi's hand, but Jinxi was very strong.

Damn it, when did Jinxi become so strong? She felt like her bones were about to be crushed.

Just as Jin Yun was about to rebuke him, Jin Xi whispered in her ear, "You tampered with Zan Zan's scooter, didn't you?"

Jin Yun's body stiffened instantly. She had kept this a secret, so how did Jin Xi find out?

Jin Xi didn't miss her momentary surprise. She said, "Zhou Linxu invested in the variety show. How do you think I know that?"

At this point, even the slow-witted Jin Yun would realize what was going on.

Ignoring the pain in her shoulder, she turned to look at Jinxi, her eyes filled with undisguised panic.

Jinxi clicked her tongue lightly, thinking that Jin Yun would insist that she hadn't done it, but she didn't expect her mental fortitude to be so poor.

That's true. If she had a better mental fortitude, she wouldn't have come here in such a fit of rage to confront her.

Jinxi raised her other hand and affectionately tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, whispering, "I really don't understand why you're so self-righteous, thinking the whole world should make way for you. Who gave you that illusion? Your fans or the Jin family?"

Jin Yun wanted to escape this place, but was forced to sit down because she couldn't get rid of Jin Xi's strength.

"Look at you, why are you getting so agitated the moment I say a few words?" Jinxi's voice was calm and unhurried, as if she were casually discussing how crowded the banquet was tonight: "If your brother Linxu were to sue you, who do you think could save you—your fans or the Jin family?"

The legal department of the Zhou Group is renowned as top-notch in the industry, and the current situation of the family is undoubtedly like throwing an egg against a rock.

Just then, Zhou Linxu strolled over from the crowd.

Jinxi slightly raised her chin: "Oh, your brother Rin-seo is here. Should I have him talk to you?"

As Zhou Linxu approached them, he heard Jin Xi say "let's chat." He glanced first at Zan Zan, who was drinking juice, then at Jin Xi, and asked, "What are you chatting about?"

Jin Xi let out a long "oh," but before she could speak, Jin Yun interrupted, "No, it's nothing, Brother Lin Xu."

Zhou Linxu frowned, and Zhou Yanqian, who was drinking juice next to him, also scoffed.

Jinxi asked, "Oh? Are you really alright?"

Jin Yun took a deep breath: "It's okay."

Jinxi then released her hand, and Jinyun stood up, but her gaze was still fixed on Zhou Linxu, who was very close to her.

She didn't know what she was thinking, but she stood up, twisted her ankle, and fell straight forward.

The expected embrace did not come. The moment she made a move, her arm was grabbed, and the greater force made her involuntarily take a step back, eventually sitting back down in her seat.

Jinxi sighed, "Miss Jin, you'd better stand firm, or people will think you like to throw yourself at married men. You don't want others to say the Jin family has bad manners, do you?"

Zhou Yanqian heard these words clearly and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Oh dear, Xiao Xi! Hahahaha!

Jin Yun's face turned red with anger. This time, she didn't say anything and simply got up and left.

After she left, Zhou Linxu sat down next to Zan Zan and asked, "So what did you talk about?"

Jin Xi shrugged: "Who knows?"

Just then, Zhou Yanqian, who had been silent all along, said, "She said Xiao Xi was a dish that turned into a phoenix."

Anyone who dares to bully him, prepare to die!
