Chapter 1014 - 691: When the Wolf Looks Back (Part 2)
Su Xiaomeng looked at Yin Shiqing, and the reason she still called him "big brother" was mainly because today, at the Yin Mansion for this lunch feast, it wasn’t just the Yin Family present; there were also outsiders mixed in among the three large tables outside and in the hall.The two elders of the Yin Family had faces of iron, yet they didn’t sternly scold and drive Yin Shiqing out because...
No matter how ugly a family scandal is, it shouldn’t be exposed so blatantly for outsiders to see.
The two elders of the Yin Family were people who cared about face, and the Yin Family still needed to maintain the family’s reputation.
The stories of how Yin Shiqing seized the Yin Mansion from the two elders and then auctioned it off, everyone had heard of these, but no one had evidence to confirm them.
But if someone from the Yin Family were to confirm such rumors themselves...
That would truly be a huge disgrace and a laughingstock for the Yin Family.
Whether it’s the discord between Yin Shiqing and Yin Shixiu, his ungratefulness to the parents who raised him, or even the resentment and lack of gratitude he holds towards the entire Yin Family...
None of this is for outsiders to know.
No matter how despised he is, Yin Shiqing is still a high-ranking and powerful official, and currently has a good future. Who would dare to question the character and virtue of such a high-ranking official?
Yin Shiqing hastily said,
"Sister-in-law is right, perhaps it is that Hai Yan and I treasure Jun Jie too much. Not long ago, he was frequently having fevers, and the hospital check-up indicated that his immunity was too weak. His grandmother and I were so scared that we immediately went to the school to arrange for him to take a break from his studies so he could rest at home."
Yin Shiqing’s words seemed to make sense, showing a seemingly eager to care for his grandson.
Su Xiaomeng inwardly sneered, yet she didn’t express this on her face.
Yin Shaohui and Zhou Mengqin were angered at the sight of Yin Shiqing. The couple had lived together for nearly sixty years, and in critical moments, their actions and behaviors were still synchronized—they ignored him.
This wolf showing its fangs, coming to the Yin Mansion at this time, was it not to make the Yin Family embarrass themselves in front of outsiders?
"Dad, Mom, I sincerely apologize to the two elders here. It was Shi Qing who was thoughtless, it was Shi Qing... who was misled by treacherous people to do those ungrateful things that caused you two elders such heartbreak."
Yin Shiqing stood up, his tall build slightly overweight, looking strong and steady, suddenly speaking seriously to Yin Shiqing and Zhou Mengqin...
This indeed left the entire Yin Family, who were present, dumbfounded.
Su Xiaomeng immediately furrowed her brows tightly...
Thinking, did Yin Shiqing come this time not to make trouble, but to take the opportunity to play the emotional card?
"This cup, your son drinks first as a gesture of respect!"
After finishing, he downed a glass of baijiu.
From start to finish, Yin Shaohui and Zhou Mengqin did not raise their glasses. Their gazes casually swept over Yin Shiqing a few times, as if judging how sincere this ungrateful wolf was in his words.
Yin Shiqing finished this drink in one gulp and, seeing that the two elders showed no reaction, he didn’t express the slightest displeasure, but instead, looked understanding,
"It’s fair and right for Dad and Mom to be angry with your son, it’s fair and right!"
Saying so, he filled his glass again, one drink following another.
After downing three glasses of baijiu in succession, not to mention the Yin Family members, the outsiders present saw a governmental commissioner humbly apologizing to his parents, and the murmurs of discussion and whispers of conversation mostly revolved around sayings like...even an honest official cannot resolve a family dispute, after all, they are family, and so on.
To Su Xiaomeng, it was utterly jarring to hear this, making her feel as if she were sitting on pins and needles.
Hearing Yin Shiqing continue calling himself "son" with every sip, saying "I’m sorry" with each gulp, claiming "misled by others" with each drink...
The barbs on Su Xiaomeng, previously just raised, grew even stiffer and sharper, prepared and ready to prick someone at any moment.
Yin Junjie glanced up at Su Xiaomeng twice, feeling that the aura emanating from Fourth Granny was eerily intimidating.
"Old Fourth, sister-in-law."
After downing the three cups to the two elders, Yin Shiqing immediately refilled his glass and turned his attention towards Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng.
This greeting was like a sword, piercing straight into Su Xiaomeng’s heart.
People need face, trees need bark. On the day of Yin Shixiu’s "funeral," neither he nor his wife understood the concept of ’respecting the dead,’ and were solely focused on taking the Yin Family’s head position.
Back then, Su Xiaomeng had said this to them.
Now it seems, trees may need bark, but people can truly be shameless.
"Shixiu, Xiao Meng, are you... also angry with your big brother?"
Su Xiaomeng looked up, glaring at Yin Shiqing, with an expression that couldn’t be any clearer that she wanted to completely devour him to her heart’s content!
