I Almost Died

It took a moment for Yao Ying to gather her thoughts, and when she had, she voiced her concern about Yun Xi's newfound status and whether this would be manipulated by Yun Yuanfeng.

"But you know, your biological dad is the younger brother of the first lady. If he ever learns about your real status, your father will flaunt it for the world to see. You were not there to see how he bragged to the entire estate that he would become the father-in-law of the Young Commander once he learned about your relationship. If he catches wind that you're the eldest daughter of the Xiao family and your aunt is the First Lady, I fear what he would do then. Would you be alright?"

Her concern sounded like baseless worries, but Yun Xi was touched by her words nevertheless.

Yao Ying was not concerned about how valuable Yun Xi was once she learned that she was not a biological daughter of the Yun family. She was concerned that her heartless father would see her as a tool.
