Jiang Yining was in high spirits and naturally agreed to his request.
She had breakfast at home.
As promised, Jiang Yining went to find Ye Xiaoxi to teach her some etiquette.
Time was running out, so she had to make the most of it.
Soon, she arrived at the Yuan family’s residence.
Jiang Yining followed a servant to locate Ye Xiaoxi but found that her bedroom had changed to a different one. She didn’t think much of it and assumed it was because Ye Xiaoxi wasn’t comfortable in her previous room.
After sending the servant away, Ye Xiaoxi closed the door, afraid of being seen or laughed at by others.
Jiang Yining started by teaching her dining etiquette, saying, “Sit up straight, don’t slouch. And your shoulders should be back, it looks more elegant that way…”
She went on for a while.
Ye Xiaoxi did her best to follow the instructions.

People in high society really knew how to make life difficult for themselves.
Ye Xiaoxi sighed deeply.
Jiang Yining said, “This is social etiquette. If you don’t like it, you can choose not to follow their rules. It’s up to you.”
Ye Xiaoxi envied Jiang Yining’s ability to do as she pleased, unlike herself. She didn’t have the same capabilities as Jiang Yining, and if she left the Yuan family, her life would be ordinary at best, burdened with debts.
She didn’t want to go back to the way things were before.
Ye Xiaoxi clenched her teeth and said, “Let’s continue.”
“Yes.”
Jiang Yining nodded gently.
In reality, Ye Xiaoxi was quite intelligent and quick to learn. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to get into Qing University under such family circumstances.
After Jiang Yining taught her dining etiquette, she went on to cover other topics.
In the afternoon, Ye Xiaoxi had someone bring food into the room.
After a simple meal, Jiang Yining taught Ye Xiaoxi how to dance. Ye Xiaoxi had never learned to dance before, and her nervous hands were sweaty, and her face was red.
Several times, she accidentally stepped on Jiang Yining’s feet.
“Sorry, Yining… I’m so clumsy…” Ye Xiaoxi accidentally stepped on Jiang Yining’s foot again, and she bit her lip in embarrassment before letting go of her hand.
Jiang Yining said, “It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt. But the two of us aren’t really suited for dancing together. Our heights are too close, and it’s hard for me to lead you. You should find a male partner to practice with you.”
For beginners in dancing, it was easier to have a male partner guide them.
“I don’t know any boys…” Ye Xiaoxi said hesitantly.
“Why don’t you ask your uncle to come?” Jiang Yining thought of Yuan Xudong, who was about 1.9 meters tall, a perfect match for Ye Xiaoxi’s height.
“I’m afraid of disturbing his work.”
“What’s there to be afraid of? You’re family. Besides, the more time you spend with him, the better your relationship will be.” Jiang Yining suggested, “If you feel embarrassed, 1 can go call him for you.”
“No… no… I’ll do it myself.”
Ye Xiaoxi said hurriedly.
“Alright, then go ahead.”
Jiang Yining nodded slightly.
Ye Xiaoxi left the room nervously.

If she taught Xiaoxi, it would also work, but Xiaoxi was more introverted and rarely approached people on her own. However, if she wanted to truly establish herself in the Yuan family and gain a sense of belonging, she had to interact more with other members of the Yuan family and earn their approval.
Yuan Xudong was a decent person who had saved Xiaoxi once and was willing to stand up for her.
Jiang Yining intentionally pushed Ye Xiaoxi to get closer to him.
Ye Xiaoxi walked up to Yuan Xudong’s courtyard and asked a servant, “Is my uncle here?”
Originally, she had hoped that Yuan Xudong wouldn’t be there. In that case, she could use it as an excuse to make Jiang Yining give up. However, she didn’t expect what came next.
The servant replied, “Young Master Xudong is here. Miss Xiaoxi, do you need to see him about something? I can inform him for you.”
“Oh? He’s here.” Ye Xiaoxi muttered nervously and said, “I have a small matter and would like to trouble him.”
“Alright, please wait a moment, Miss.”
“Okay.”
Watching the servant go in, Ye Xiaoxi anxiously rubbed her hands.
After a short while, the servant came out, accompanied by Yuan Xudong.
He looked at Ye Xiaoxi with an indifferent expression and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Uncle, can you come with me for a moment?” Ye Xiaoxi spoke softly.
“…” Yuan Xudong gazed at the slender girl in front of him, feeling somewhat helpless. He had truly rescued a trouble. Ever since he became involved with her, there hadn’t been a peaceful day..
