Chapter 965 - 675: Kneeling Down and Bowing to Apologize (Part 3)
Yin Shixiu still looked at Rong Si. Even if Old Madam Rong shouted until her voice broke, as long as the head of the Rong Family remained silent, Yin Shixiu would likely not fully relent."I can agree to the first two conditions, but ensuring Jing’er fully cooperates... is something we old couple cannot guarantee at this moment."
"..."
Rong Si sighed.
Yin Shixiu chuckled lightly,
"Uncle Rong, there’s no need to probe further. While Rong Jing is in the detention center, there’s no way you’ll be able to see him."
"..."
Rong Si lifted his head, his brows tightly knit.
"I will convey the message for you. I will personally visit Rong Jing, but today I’m laying down the conditions for your viewing, so that you’ll have clarity. If Rong Jing refuses to cooperate, then naturally there’s no need for me to protect him. At that time, you needn’t waste your breath on me."
Yin Shixiu said indifferently.
Rong Si’s fists quietly tightened, and he unconsciously let out a light snort,
"Even at this point, you’re still guarding against us!"
"Uncle Rong, Aunt Rong, I’ve treated you politely with traditional Chinese hospitality, but it doesn’t mean I forgot that I owe my current wheelchair-bound state—barely able to stand—to you two."
His eagle-like eyes flashed sharp light,
"Uncle Rong, don’t press your luck. This is already my biggest concession out of respect for the decent rapport between the Yin Family and the Rong Family in the past."
"Otherwise..."
Yin Shixiu’s sword-like brows drew horizontally, his eyes filled with coldness as they pressed onto Rong Si’s face,
"The pain suffered by the Yin Family will not only be tasted by the Rong Family, but hundredfold or thousandfold more."
"..."
The door opened, and Bai Sixian, who had just sent Shuangshuang and Huang Huang to school, and the elders of the Yin Family who had finished their morning exercise, returned.
They changed shoes and saw Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng sitting face to face with the elders of the Rong Family in the living room, revealing some surprise.
Yin Shaohui and Zhou Mengqin exchanged glances, and the gaze of the elders quickly met with that of the old couple from the Rong Family...
A moment of particular awkwardness ensued.
"Meng Meng, haven’t you left yet?"
Bai Sixian spoke first, quietly asking Xiao Meng.
"Um... When we were about to leave, Old Madam Rong and Mr. Rong came, so it... delayed us."
"...Oh."
Nobody asked why the elders of the Rong Family had come.
After all, ’Temples don’t receive visitors unless there’s trouble’; especially after Rong Jing had been detained in the center for investigation, the initiative was in Yin Shixiu’s hands.
Why the elders of the Rong Family came was not hard to guess.
"Are you here to plead for your son?"
The sports attire worn by Yin Shaohui and Zhou Mengqin still carried a hint of sweat.
Yin Shaohui, resting on a cane, heavily stamped it on the ground and asked without any politeness.
Rong Si raised his eyes to meet Yin Shaohui’s stern gaze and hurriedly stood up with a forced smile, taking a deep breath.
"Old brother..."
"Old brother? Ha, Rong Si, the things you’ve done to me, Yin Shaohui, make me unable to bear your calling me that!"
"Sister Zhou, Old Rong and I came here today to apologize to you. We already know—"
"Enough, Mrs. Rong, no need to say anymore."
Old Madam Rong’s words were coldly interrupted by Zhou Mengqin before she could finish.
Old Madam Rong’s words hung on her lips, neither spoken nor swallowed, making her expression awkward.
Zhou Mengqin looked at Su Xiaomeng,
"Did they come to plead for Rong Jing? Hoping that Shixiu would withdraw the charge against Rong Jing?"
Su Xiaomeng pursed her lips, nodded, "Yes."
"Mom, don’t interfere in this matter. Xiao Meng and I have our considerations and will handle it properly."
Yin Shixiu said to Zhou Mengqin, but she didn’t spare him a glance; she continued looking at Su Xiaomeng,
"Are these two only here for this?"
"...Yes."
"Alright, aren’t you going to the company? Go on, isn’t Shixiu scheduled for routine treatment?"
"Um..."
Su Xiaomeng pondered for a moment, appearing uncertain as she looked at Yin Shixiu...
Yin Shixiu roughly anticipated this result, he gently sighed, rubbed his brows.
Then he raised his eyes and instead of speaking to his parents, directly addressed the elders of the Rong Family,
"Uncle Rong, Aunt Rong, if there’s nothing else, you should go now."
Rong Si was aware of his position.
Just as he and his wife could kneel before Yin Shixiu for the sake of their only son, casting aside the so-called dignity of the Rong Family.
Yin Shixiu is also the outstanding son of Yin Shaohui and Zhou Mengqin...
