"When did I ever take your wife away?!"
Yin Shaohui’s cane struck the ground hard!
Yin Shixiu let out a cold snort, "These past few days, do you think I wasn’t aware of your visits to my place downstairs?"
Yin Shaohui was montarily at a loss for words.
"You could have at least changed cars. No matter how discreet your car is, it’s still a military vehicle! And you went there this afternoon, didn’t you?"
Yin Shixiu always thought his father’s visits were rely to learn more about Xiao ng.
He wasn’t unfilial and knew bringing Xiao ng ho rashly and marrying her abruptly would certainly alarm the elders.
But he was also willing to give them ti!
Hoping they would gradually see Xiao ng’s good qualities...
Yet... it seems he was mistaken.
"Do you think... I took Su Xiaong away and didn’t tell you? Why would I?"
For the first ti, Yin Shaohui felt his proud son’s intelligence was in the negatives!
"Why?"
At the sa ti, Yin Shixiu also thought his usually astute and scheming father was foolish to ask this question!
"It’s nothing more than history repeating itself with Third Brother. How Third Brother died, you wouldn’t think I don’t kno—"
"Fourth!"
This shout ca from his usually soft-spoken mother!
Yin Shixiu squinted slightly, looking at his mother.
Her skin was naturally fair, and now, due to her emotions, displayed an unusual redness.
Yin Shaohui hadn’t expected Yin Shixiu to bring up the matter of his Third Brother...
It was a wound on his and his wife’s aging hearts, which had finally stopped bleeding, only to be ruthlessly torn open by their youngest son!
Yin Shixiu didn’t hold his tongue despite his mother’s reproach and his father’s change in expression.
"If you plan to use the sa tactics against ng as you did with Yin ng’s mother back then, the result won’t be as simple as losing another son."
Once Yin Shixiu said this, Yin Shaohui felt his heart completely sink...
Zhou ngqin took a deep breath, equally hurt...
"All for a girl who ca out of nowhere... Fourth, all for a girl who ca out of nowhere?!"
"In this life, I’ve never loved anyone else."
"...Alright, then I’ll make it clear to you, Fourth. From now on, if there’s that girl, then there’s no !"
Zhou ngqin said harshly! Her usually gentle voice also grew sharp due to intense emotion.
"Fine, first give Xiao ng back to ."
When Yin Shaohui and Zhou ngqin heard Yin Shixiu say this so unhesitatingly...
Their faces turned ashen.
The few servants standing by were already too frightened to breathe, just lowering their heads and standing silently without daring to move.
The one to break the icy impasse was Zhou ngqin.
She ca downstairs, wearing plain pajamas. Even though the room was heated, she looked quite frail.
She descended the steps with elegance and grace and stopped on the third-to-last step, looking down slightly at Yin Shixiu. Her eyes were cold, but she spoke warmly, "What if I don’t return her?"
Upon hearing Zhou ngqin’s words, Mr. Yin realized that things had escalated terribly.
His stubborn wife’s gentle and docile exterior concealed a stubbornness stronger than any ox.
And Fourth... his youngest son inherited eight or nine parts of this stubbornness from her.
Two inherently stubborn people were clashing...
"Fourth, follow to the study!"
He said in a deep voice.
However, Zhou ngqin quickly interjected, "I’ll talk to him."
Yin Shixiu looked at his mother...
He knew this elegant and gentle woman was indeed tenacious and decisive.
"Answer , what if I don’t return her?"
Zhou ngqin looked at him. Yin Shixiu’s eyes were more like Yin Shaohui’s—sharp, like an eagle, with a piercing light that sent a chill down one’s spine when facing an enemy or spotting prey.
But his mother was of an entirely different type.
She had very beautiful eyes, like black onyx.
"Then I’ll have no choice but to search this house inch by inch! Until I find her."
Yin Shixiu spoke each word deliberately.
"Fine, then take your ti searching. By the ti you find her, that girl might have already breathed her last."
After saying this, Zhou ngqin turned around.
Her frail but proportionate elderly figure radiated a cold indifference that filled Yin Shixiu with helplessness and despair.
Search inch by inch...
Even though he’s resolute, even though he can...
But just thinking about that girl being held sowhere, starving and freezing, his heart clenched into a tight knot!
"I promised her parents!"
