Chapter 968 - 676: A Parent’s Heart for Their Children (Part 2)
"Ha... If you weren’t involved, why are you so flustered?"Zhou Mengqin sneered at Rong Si and asked,
"There is a time limit for detention in a detention center. Since Rong Jing has committed no crime, once the investigation is over, he can go home. So why did you shamelessly bring your wife to my house?"
"..."
"What? Are you trying to, with the attitude of an elder, gain some face from a younger person whom you nearly killed?"
"Or are you hoping to win the sympathy of the younger generation by appearing as a pitiful old man?"
"Rong Si, did I remember it wrong? Doesn’t your Rong Family pride themselves on being noble? Don’t you boast about your capabilities? Don’t you claim to have extensive connections?"
"Take your wife and get out, or I’ll call the police!"
Zhou Mengqin was in no mood to show any kindness.
As she spoke, she was about to drive the two elders of the Rong Family out.
Rong Si was being pointed at and insulted to such an embarrassing extent—it was truly the first time...
"Sister Zhou, if I didn’t sincerely want to ask for your forgiveness, I wouldn’t have come here."
"We are at fault, but let me say it again, the ones who actually plotted to murder Yin Shixiu are Shi Shengde and Wu Rong."
Even though Rong Si had already put aside his old face and dignity to come and plead with Yin Shixiu, it didn’t mean he had no dignity left.
"At most, we were aware and kept silent. Does being aware and not reporting constitute being a murder suspect? I’m afraid not."
"Whether it is or isn’t, the judicial system will decide."
Zhou Mengqin had no intention of arguing with Rong Si.
"You’d better say a few less words..."
Old Madam Rong saw that the exchange between her husband and Zhou Mengqin was not easing the tension, and instead was getting even more intense, so she tugged on Rong Si’s sleeve, signaling him to say less.
Rong Si immediately glared at his wife,
"Shut up! I shouldn’t have listened to you and come here to be humiliated!"
"..."
Old Madam Rong was startled by her husband’s harsh scolding, and for a moment, her lips trembled unconsciously,
"I... I..."
"Now look, we’ve kneeled and bargained, but the result?"
Rong Si snorted,
"This family’s last name is Yin! They accuse us of being treacherous, as if they themselves aren’t wolves and tigers!"
"Get out! Get out! Cough, cough..."
Zhou Mengqin pointed at the door and shouted at them.
The shout seemed too forceful, and Zhou Mengqin started coughing continuously.
Yin Shaohui quickly wrapped his arm around his wife’s shoulders,
"Alright, alright, sit down quickly."
On the other side, Bai Sixian took a deep breath and said to the two elders of the Rong Family,
"You should go back. If you commit a crime, you must face justice, that’s the rule."
"..."
Rong Si pressed his lips tightly and was the first to head toward the door.
Old Madam Rong’s heart felt shattered...
Her face was in a fluster, and tears fell like broken strings of pearls.
"Why are you still standing there, embarrassing yourself?!"
Rong Si had opened the door, but seeing Old Madam Rong hadn’t followed, he turned back and harshly scolded her again!
"Rong Si..."
"Hurry up!"
Old Madam Rong closed her eyes and finally said nothing more, following her husband.
The door closed again, and the atmosphere in the room remained heavy.
Bai Sixian took a deep breath and let it out slowly,
"Old Madam, please don’t be upset..."
"They still have the nerve to come... still have the nerve to come... I, Zhou Mengqin, will fight to my last breath to make these bastards pay!"
Bai Sixian gently soothed Old Madam Yin’s chest.
She glanced at Yin Shaohui, who hadn’t spoken much, and asked,
"Sir... is that what you think too?"
Yin Shaohui sat on the sofa, eyes downcast, seemingly lost in deep thought. After a moment of deliberation, he slowly said,
"Many years ago... when society was turbulent, and the economic system was reformed time and time again, just because the Yin Family didn’t extend a helping hand to the Rong Family back then, the Rong Family bore a grudge against the Yin Family for decades..."
"The grievances of the previous generations weren’t enough, they had to pass it on to the next generation..."
"For so many years, although the Rong Family had complaints against the Yin Family, they never did anything to retaliate..."
"It was only when the fourth son single-handedly founded the Yin Group and within ten years managed to put the Rong Group underfoot..."
"The Rong Family finally found an opportunity to compete with the Yin Family..."
"The Rong Family is really petty, holding a grudge over a trivial matter for so many years, yet when it comes to themselves, they are incomparably forgiving."
"The fourth son was nearly killed by them. If it weren’t for Rong Jing being caught, would this old couple have any remorse?"
"Come to our home seeking forgiveness? Sincere apologies? Ha..."
Yin Shaohui took a deep breath, and his face etched with wrinkles was full of sarcastic smiles.
