Chapter 1822: Chapter 1823: If You Help Them, We’re Done

"Shengxiao finally brought a daughter-in-law back, and she’s been cherishing her immensely. Last time Su Xiansui said a few bad words about Rong Yan, she got Madam Major General to kick her out of the Lin Family. If she sees you trying to match Rong Yan with Shen Yu, she’d be absolutely furious."

Mrs. Shen was left speechless by his barrage of words, her chest about to explode with anger. She tried to force a smile to ease the situation but couldn’t manage it. She could only reply sourly, "No wonder she won’t take my calls."

Turns out it was to vent her anger for her daughter-in-law.

An orphan girl with no parents, who has been jumping around in the entertainment industry, full of scandals and rumors. She doesn’t get it—what’s so precious about her to the Li Family and Lin Zhiya?

She forcibly held back Shen Yu, who wanted to argue with Cui Jiangjing, and swallowed her pride, saying, "Jiangjing, I understand everything you’ve said. Give your aunt a straight answer. Can you help us this once?"

"You’ve grown up with Shen Yu since you were little. Siyuan may have let you down, but your relationship with Shen Yu is genuine. Just give Shen Yu some face, give your aunt some face, okay, could you?"

She spoke earnestly and sincerely, and as she continued, tears began to flow.

Mrs. Shen wiped away her tears and said vulnerably, "I only have this one daughter. She’s not eating well or dressed warmly in the police station, and I can’t sleep because of it either. Jiangjing, please help your aunt and Siyuan, won’t you?"

"We know we were wrong. Even if we did as Shen Yu said, we’re willing to compensate Miss Rong. If you think recognizing her as a foster daughter is not enough, you can suggest something else, and we’re willing to do it."

She forcibly grabbed Cui Jiangjing’s hand and cried, "Besides... Shen Yu did have a point; Miss Rong is unharmed this time, isn’t she?"

Seeing Cui Jiangjing’s face starting to change, she quickly wiped her tears and said, "Auntie knows, knows what you want to say. I also know Miss Rong suffered this time, almost in danger. We’re not looking at the process but the outcome. Miss Rong indeed was fortunate and unharmed. But Siyuan, Siyuan hasn’t eaten for three days in the police station, there’s not even air conditioning, and it’s so cold at night. We don’t even know if she’s caught a cold yet... please, have some pity for your sister and help her, won’t you?"

Oh my God!

Can it really be counted like this?

Cui Jiangjing wasn’t moved at all by her words; on the contrary, he felt disgusted as if he had swallowed a mouthful of flies, and he pulled away from Mrs. Shen’s hand.

Mrs. Shen refused to let go and grabbed him again, "Jiangjing..."

Her tearful, pleading appearance was hard to refuse.

Even Shen Yu, who had been so stubborn just now, turned his head away, a hint of tears in his eyes, and softened his voice, "Cui Jiangjing, if you help my family this time, I will remember your kindness for a lifetime. I’m begging you, help Siyuan."

"..."

Cui Jiangjing wasn’t swayed in his principles by this; he was just thinking about how to effectively refuse them so they wouldn’t pester him with the same words again. He was annoyed by it.

Little did he know that his pensive reaction was mistaken by some as hesitation.

Gu Linxi’s gaze turned cold, and she pressed her lips together, speaking directly, "Cui Jiangjing, if you agree with them, we’re over. Don’t ever come near me again, stay far, far away! Yan is my bottom line. If you help them, we’re breaking up! There’s no room for negotiation!"
