Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten

Everyone else had not slept well at all, while Yun Xi had a surprisingly good night’s sleep in her room at the Xiao family villa.

The moment her biological alarm went off, she woke up automatically and turned to look at the pink and white clock on the bedside table. It was already past eight in the morning, so she brushed her teeth and changed her clothes before heading downstairs.

Seeing her come down the stairs, Xiao Jinglin, sitting on the couch, looked up from the morning paper and waved to her. Xiao Jinglin had hired his own exclusive butler from Country M to look after the Xiao family villa. The butler was an old man who had been working with the Xiao family for ages. As he saw Yun Xi descending the stairs, he politely stepped forward and asked, “Young Miss, good morning! What would you like to have for breakfast?”

“Um, I’m craving shrimp dumplings and scallion pancakes.” In the Yun house, she could never have a fusion of northern and southern delicacies in the same meal. However, since there was a dedicated chef here, she could have whatever she wanted.

The butler nodded with a smile, but Xiao Jinglin couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. “Your taste for northern-southern fusion cuisine is very much like your mother’s. She lived in a water village for a while, and upon returning, her taste for the food there remained. Even in Country M, she insisted on eating Chinese food for breakfast.”

!!

“Umm… is there anyone else left in the Rong family?” She was afraid to bring up Xiao Jinglin’s sad memories, so she rarely asked about their past.

“The Rong family, let’s see… Well, the Rong family is a big family in City W. Their ancestors were also highly respected aristocrats. During the Republic of China, they were a big family of trade in the Jun Country. Since your mother hasn’t been found, I haven’t had the dignity to go back to see her family. I told the old man that I wouldn’t go back until I found her, but it’s a different matter now. So, after things have been settled here, I’ll take you back to City W to meet your grandfather and your other relatives.”

Yun Xi nodded. They were all her birth mother’s relatives. She believed everything was moving along in a positive light, and she had faith they would be able to get her mother back.

“Come, have a look at today’s morning paper!” Xiao Jinglin handed her the opened newspaper, then he picked up the cup on the table and poured her a glass of honey drink. “I just received news that Lin Shuhua’s relatives are holding a protest at the gate of the military region residences. Also, members of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection had acquired evidence against Yun Yuanfeng from an anonymous source early this morning for corruption, misconduct, and prostitution. They should be on their way to the compound as we speak.”

Only at that moment did Yun Xi realize that her birth father was the true mastermind at turning tides!
