Chapter 384: A mere acquaintance should not sow discord between two close people
Yi Yun’s comment was very sudden. Instantly, everyone in the yard looked towards Yi Yun.
At this moment, Yi Yun was standing behind Su Jie’s seat. He completely looked like a young medicine boy. From the moment Yi Yun appeared, no one had noticed him, other than Lin Xintong’s grandaunt from before. She had only spoken to him because Yi Yun knew Lin Xintong.
If Lin Xintong had not greeted Yi Yun, she would have treated him like thin air.
“What are you? Do you know your manners!? Do you even have the right to speak here?”
This was a matter of the Lin family. Even Su Jie did not have much right to speak as he was an outsider. From the beginning to now, Su Jie had been mostly been listening.
And with Su Jie’s status, if he really wanted to make a comment, the Lin family would listen. However, how could a follower of Su Jie, who looked like a sidekick youth, have the right to interject while the upper echelons of the Lin family were talking?
Not even the Lin family, even in a big mortal household, if a servant were to suddenly interrupt his master while he was speaking, he would only end up being smacked in the mouth!
Due to Su Jie, the grandaunt could not do anything to Yi Yun. After all, she had been lowering her status to persuade Lin Xintong today, and she was feeling a burning rage. If Yi Yun was a member of the Lin family, she would have dragged him away to be punished according to the family rules.
Before Su Jie spoke, Yi Yun directly said, “I’m Yun Yantian, Elder Su’s in-name disciple.”
Yi Yun casually gave himself a name. He used his original name, Yun as his surname. ‘Yan’ was a homophone, and actually meant concealment. Yun Yantian then meant clouds (Yun) concealing (Yan) the sky (Tian). It also secretly expressed Yi Yun’s martial arts goal.
At the same time, Shen Tu Nantian’s name also had a ‘Tian’, so clouds (Yun) concealing (Yan) the sky (Tian) also meant Yi Yun was concealing Shen Tu Nantian. This was an evil pun Yi Yun used when giving himself the name.
“In-name disciple?” When the woman in palatial gown heard this, her face turned gloomy. An in-name disciple’s status was low, yet he dared to speak to her here?
She was nearly about to go into a rage when Lin Xintong stood up and said, “Grandaunt, he is my friend.”
The woman wanted to say something but it got stuck in her throat momentarily, “Friend?”
This word made her feel uncomfortable. What kind of status did the Lin family have? Lin Xintong was also the greatest figure of the Lin family’s younger generation. She could become a peerless Great Empress in the future, yet she made friends with such a person?
If it was her granddaughter, she would have reprimanded her. However, against Lin Xintong, she did not dare do so. She could only tone down her expression and said patiently, “Xintong, it is your prerogative to make friends, but you must see what sort of person someone is. You have a dignified background and you will have limitless achievements in the future. If you want to make friends, they have to be people like Shen Tu Nantian, who come from a large family clan. They are youths who will amount to great things in the future. As for some cats and dogs, or riff-raff, it is best you don’t mix around with them, or you would lose your dignity and be ridiculed by others. What do you say, Xintong?”
The woman tried to make her speech sound kind, but even so, her words were filled with superiority. They included referring Yi Yun to cats and dogs or riff-raff, and this angered Lin Xintong.
Lin Xintong’s eyebrows frowned as she spoke coldly, “Grandaunt, he is my friend. As for you, you can only be considered my elder. You have lived a long time, and have seen numerous people and encountered numerous matters. You should understand the meaning of how a mere acquaintance should not sow discord between two close people.”
The words Lin Xintong did not include any swear words, but it immediately turned the woman’s face white!
A mere acquaintance should not sow discord between two close people!
The woman in the palatial gown was Lin Xintong’s grandaunt, but as for Yi Yun, what sort of person was he to Lin Xintong?
He was just a friend, and a friend of an unknown closeness at that.
However, Lin Xintong had actually said “Mere acquaintance should not sow discord between two close people!”
This meant that in Lin Xintong’s heart, she as the grandaunt was the mere acquaintance. She was dispensable. As for this riff-raff, Yi Yun, he held a greater spot in Lin Xintong’s heart than the grandaunt, her!
Previously, Lin Xintong also said that the woman “can only be” considered Lin Xintong’s elder.
This also meant that other than the relation of being of the same clan and the elder-junior relationship that could not be wiped off, she as a grandaunt was nothing in Lin Xintong’s heart.
With her status as someone who was more distant, she was being presumptuous and
