Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting

Chapter 966 - 675: Kneeling in Apology (Part 4)

They could negotiate terms with Yin Shixiu, but what about the two elders of the Yin Family?"Since that’s the case, your Aunt Rong and I will take our leave first. Brother Yin, I’ll come visit another day to offer a sincere apology to your whole family."

Yin Shaohui and Zhou Mengqin were both holding back a bellyful of anger; if the two elders of the Rong Family just left like this, they hadn’t planned to erupt.

But Old Madam Rong was simply too worried about Rong Jing. Just before leaving, she still couldn’t rest easy and turned to confirm with Yin Shixiu,

"Shixiu, you just said you’d protect Jing’er, you absolutely mustn’t go back on your word, your Aunt Rong—"

Yin Shixiu’s brows suddenly tightened. He was about to cut off the loose-tongued Old Madam Rong when, on the other side, Zhou Mengqin had already narrowed her eyes,

"What did you just say, Mrs. Rong?"

"Ah?"

Old Madam Rong froze for a second, meeting Zhou Mengqin’s pair of icy cold eyes...

She mumbled without giving a clear answer, but Zhou Mengqin was not someone so easy to brush off. The moment she heard those words from Mrs. Rong, she knew Yin Shixiu had gone soft on them.

"I don’t care what terms you’ve reached, I do not agree! In the Tianjin Port incident, anyone who took part in framing our Fourth must face proper legal punishment!"

Zhou Mengqin spoke with absolute finality, her tone so hard there wasn’t room for the slightest doubt or objection.

When Mrs. Rong heard that, she panicked at once and hurriedly said,

"Shixiu has already promised us he’ll keep Jing’er safe and sound. Shixiu, you already agreed just now! You can’t go back on your word!"

"Aunt Rong, why don’t you and Uncle Rong go back first, alright?"

"Shixiu, you want to go back on your word?"

Yin Shixiu’s head was pounding. Off to the side, Su Xiaomeng was so anxious watching this, Old Madam Rong really was a bit too stubborn.

"Uncle Rong, aren’t you going to get Aunt Rong out of here, quickly?"

Rong Si saw the situation more clearly than his wife. He took her hand and said,

"Since Shixiu has promised us, he won’t break his word. Let’s go home first—"

"Looks like I didn’t make myself clear enough just now!"

Zhou Mengqin had always been an elegant old lady. Even in her later years, she was still well-read, reasonable, full of wisdom and noble bearing...

She could be strict, but to lose control in an Instant like this, her voice turning this sharp and piercing—such moments were rare in her whole life.

"Yin Shixiu, Su Xiaomeng, whatever terms you two as a couple have reached with the Rong Family, I don’t care."

"Whether it’s tied to corporate interests or about letting Rong Jing walk away safe and sound and not holding him legally responsible, I don’t agree. Your father won’t agree either. Everyone in the Yin Family, all your uncles and aunts, won’t agree!"

"Rong Si, I’m telling you, unless Rong Jing also loses both his legs, unless he’s blown up and left gravely injured by explosives, don’t even think about getting him out of prison!"

"You’re talking to the wrong people. In this family, it’s not yet the turn of Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng to call the shots!"

"All the suffering my son went through, you think you can wipe it out with just an apology?!"

"My son crawled back from the brink of death again and again, with no one to rely on. One surgery after another tormented him into what he is now, made it so he has a home he can’t even return to! The name ’Yin Shixiu’ has practically become the name of a dead man!"

"Everything my son has suffered..."

Zhou Mengqin’s words were fierce, her emotions surging. But at this point, she suddenly choked up.

Every time she thought of it, her heart hurt so much she could barely breathe; every time she thought of it, the pain kept her from even closing her eyes...

"What now? Now you know what pain feels like? Rong Jing hasn’t even gone through anything yet! Is your son missing an arm? A leg? Is he stuck in a wheelchair, unable to stand up?"

"He has to rely on day after day of excruciating treatment just to breathe! Can you even imagine that?!"

"How could there be such a good deal in this world, huh?!"

"..."

Su Xiaomeng watched Zhou Mengqin...
