Chapter 1816: Chapter 1817: Playing Good Cop, Bad Cop

After all, Mrs. Shen was considered an elder. Even though Cui Jiangjing wanted to leave immediately, he held back and gave her face, saying in a deep voice, "I’m not holding it against him. If I were, I wouldn’t be standing here talking to him!"

Does this mean he doesn’t even want to speak to me?

Shen Yu’s handsome face slightly darkened; his face was grim as he clenched his fists.

Mrs. Shen subtly tugged at him and slightly shook her head, signaling him not to act impulsively.

Shen Yu, wielding his fist, forcefully swallowed his pride.

Only then did Mrs. Shen speak mournfully, "Jiangjing, you grew up with our Shen Yu and Siyuan. You know them best, they’re not bad-hearted people, just taken advantage of. Siyuan made a mistake this time, I admit as her mother that she was wrong, and Shen Yu was wrong too. He shouldn’t have defended his sister right from the start. He did it because of me; you know how hard it was for me to give birth to Siyuan. We only have one girl in our family, if anything happens to Siyuan, I can’t live either. He was worried for his mother, that’s why he spoke up for that girl Siyuan without getting the facts straight, which made you and Shengxiao angry. You two are good friends; you and Shengxiao have been close since you were young. Could you help Auntie find Shengxiao and speak up for that girl?"

As she spoke, tears started to fall.

Crying sorrowfully, "Siyuan has been locked up in the police station for three days. I heard she refused to eat or drink in these past three days, wakes up crying non-stop every day. How can a healthy person tolerate such torment? If she doesn’t come out soon, I fear she might die in there! Jiangjing, she grew up with you. Even if not considered your sister, she’s at least your childhood friend. Can you please help her? Auntie is begging you."

She cried so heart-wrenchingly, making a gesture like she was about to kneel in front of Cui Jiangjing.

It was Shen Yu who quickly stopped her, with a scowl, he growled, "Mom, what are you doing!"

Mrs. Shen cried like a pear blossom bathed in rain, her delicate makeup ruined by tears. While pushing his hands aside, her voice was choked with emotion, "Shen Yu, let go of me. I’ll kneel to Jiangjing. I’m begging him to help your sister. Your sister is my lifeline, I cannot live without her. Mr. Li refuses to see us, I have no choice but to ask Jiangjing for help. What else can I do?"

Shen Yu faced darkly, grabbed her hand to prevent her from kneeling, squeezing out the words, "I will think of another way!"

But Mrs. Shen cried uncontrollably, insisting on pleading with Cui Jiangjing, "Your sister has been locked up for three days, she hasn’t eaten a single grain of rice for three days, by the time we think of a solution, she won’t be able to wait any longer!"

She looked at Cui Jiangjing, her tear-filled eyes pleading, "Jiangjing, please help Auntie, just this once!"

"Siyuan was spoiled from a young age, how can she bear such hardships? Please help her just this once, okay?"

"Mom, don’t be like this, we have our pride! I will figure something out!"

"Let go of me! I don’t care about pride, I just want your sister to come out safe and sound..."

One played the good cop, the other played the bad cop; one cried with the intention to kneel, while the other stubbornly resisted.

Cui Jiangjing watched this dramatic scene unfold in front of him; the tension at his temples throbbed painfully from a sleepless night. He pinched the bridge of his nose, closed his eyes, then opened them, and stopped the two, "Alright. This is my girlfriend’s place, please stop arguing!"

Mrs. Shen immediately showed a look of delight, "Jiangjing, you agreed to help?"
