Playing Dumb

Yun Yuanfeng had intended to be subtle about his intentions, but the straightforwardness exhibited by Yun Xi had unexpectedly caught him off guard and left his planned speech useless.

He did not need to beat around the bush. He could just tell Yun Xi what he wanted to say.

"I just wanted to know about what kind of relationship you two have. I'm sure that you know that the Jiang family has a lot of power and connections in Jingdu's political world. Your mother offended him, and I had to bear the brunt of that from my supervisors. You see, Second Master Jiang as the head of the family has the power to command it to do as he wants."

Yun Xi nodded. "I know, but I thought the Jiang family wasn't troubling you any longer? If that problem has been settled, why do you want to risk offending them again?"
