CHAPTER 925: CHAPTER 925: EVEN OPPORTUNISTIC EXPLOITATION DOESN’T GO AS FAR AS YOURS!

Looking at Mei Yueyan’s guarded eyes, Zhen Yunjin chuckled lightly.

"What are you afraid of?"

Mei Yueyan affirmed, "It was you who did it!"

Zhen Yunjin smiled without saying anything.

Mei Yueyan couldn’t help but say, "I’m your mom, how can you treat me like this along with some outsiders?"

"You are my mom, but did you perhaps forget..." Zhen Yunjin’s smile deepened, "I hate you."

"You are now my mom, but you’re also my enemy. Being soft-hearted to the enemy will only bring harm to oneself."

Then he laughed aloud, "You all say, should I suffer this harm, or not?"

Mei Yueyan: "..."

She certainly knew.

Suffering harm is absolutely not a blessing.

She, Mei Yueyan, definitely wouldn’t have the temperament to suffer harm.

The same logic applies.

Her son, is also not someone who would suffer harm.

Seeing Mei Yueyan’s expression as if she had eaten something foul, Zhen Yunjin was even more satisfied.

After admiring her discomfiture enough, he finally spoke to the couple sitting opposite, "I’ve told you all I know, how you want to deal with her in revenge for Ms. Lian is up to you, I won’t interfere."

Pausing, he meaningfully added, "Even if she suddenly disappears, it won’t cause much of a stir, you can rest assured."

Mei Yueyan could only feel cold sweat breaking out of her bones and skin.

Listen, is this something a son should be saying?

Does he know what he’s saying?

Originally, Quan Jinbei, even though he was angry with her and wanted to vent the anger for his long-deceased mother.

He wouldn’t go as far as to kill her, after all, he couldn’t disregard the law completely.

With Zhen Yunjin’s reminder, she couldn’t confidently say that Quan Jinbei would spare her life.

Looking at Zhen Yunjin’s fearful expression, Quan Jinbei stood up.

Step by step, it felt like he was treading on Mei Yueyan’s heart.

She looked at him warily, yet her body seemed to be confined by some force, and she couldn’t move.

This fear of impending death made her uncontrollably panicked.

"You, don’t come any closer!"

She yelled at Quan Jinbei through clenched teeth.

But Quan Jinbei acted as if he hadn’t heard, continuing to walk forward.

Thinking of her impending bleak fate, Mei Yueyan finally couldn’t hold back...

The pungent smell suddenly spread in the air.

Quan Jinbei’s footsteps paused.

His face darkened.

Zhen Yunjin’s face also turned dark.

Unexpectedly, Mei Yueyan was scared out of her wits.

How could she shamelessly pee here!

Xiao Shanghe couldn’t hold back, "Pfft."

The sound of laughter slipped out and he realized it wasn’t appropriate for the occasion, so he covered his mouth with his hand to indicate it wasn’t intentional.

But he still couldn’t hold back.

He started laughing out loud.

"Hahaha..." Xiao Shanghe tried his best to control himself, "Sorry, I didn’t mean to, hahaha..."

After laughing for quite a while, he finally calmed down, "Burp~ I’m not laughing anymore, not laughing, you all continue!"

Everyone: "..."

With such a clown around.

No matter how serious the occasion, you can’t hold it together.

Quan Jinbei lost interest in walking over to Mei Yueyan.

Dealing with such a woman didn’t require him to do it personally.

As for how his mother really died, he would re-investigate when he returned.

If he confirmed that Zhen Yunjin was telling the truth, he certainly wouldn’t let Mei Yueyan off easily.

In the end, Mei Yueyan was dragged away by someone.

She wanted to shout, but with a rag stuffed in her mouth, she couldn’t make a sound.

She always thought of herself as the most charming woman in the world.

Unexpectedly, one day she would be dragged away like a criminal servant.

Or, to use a more fitting metaphor.

The people who grabbed her dragged her as if she were a sack of garbage.

Which made her feel extremely humiliated.

Yet, she could only endure the humiliation on her own.

Her son, her own flesh and blood didn’t care about her at all.

This made her feel very unbearable.

But what tormented her even more was still to come.

...

Zhen Yunjin truly didn’t care about what happens to Mei Yueyan afterward.

After Quan Jinbei’s men took Mei Yueyan away, he sat down with Xiao Shanghe to discuss the matter of alliance through marriage between the two families.

Only then did Xiao Shanghe remember the purpose of his visit.

Emmm...

It was a bit awkward.

Xiao Shanghe originally was compliant.

First of all, he didn’t want to make his elderly father sad and unable to handle it.

Secondly, he understood himself well, knowing what kind of person he was.

Given the understanding of his own nature, a marriage alliance wasn’t entirely a bad choice for him.

But he never expected.

After coming to the Zhen Family, he would encounter such a chaotic situation.

The "Miss Zhen" he was about to marry suddenly became a man.

Moreover, the Zhen Family was planning to have him marry Zhen Yunjin and have children with Zhen Yunjin’s sister, Mei Yunduo.

Xiao Shanghe was shocked by this worldview.

Why is it already 2022, yet there still are such bizarre people?

Isn’t it like there’s a royal throne at home that must have an heir?

Upon reflection, this wasn’t really the point.

The point is, why should he, a man, be in a marriage alliance with Zhen Yunjin?

Isn’t this like a disgrace to the country and humiliating the authority?

Isn’t his dignity important?

Xiao Shanghe was torn, looking at Zhen Yunjin who still wanted to discuss subsequent matters with him, he felt like digging a hole to escape right then and there.

Zhen Yunjin didn’t allow him to escape.

"If you leave now, you won’t have a say in what happens afterward."

Xiao Shanghe: "..."

Though he didn’t want to admit it, Zhen Yunjin was right.

He could only keep his butt firmly glued to the chair.

At the same time, he watched Zhen Yunjin vigilantly.

Hoping that Zhen Yunjin wouldn’t make any unreasonable demands.

Fortunately, Zhen Yunjin didn’t seem to take much interest in him either.

He didn’t make any excessive demands on him.

"Our families’ marriage agreement can be dissolved."

Xiao Shanghe breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he could completely relax, Zhen Yunjin added further, "But I have a small request in exchange."

"What request?" Xiao Shanghe was full of vigilance.

Zhen Yunjin is quite ruthless.

He could even go as far as dealing with his own mother; a small request from him couldn’t really be small, right?

What Zhen Yunjin referred to as a small request wasn’t actually that small.

However, it wasn’t particularly large either.

He spoke, his gaze landing on Shi Yaoguang.

"I know Miss Shi has some skills, so for this matter, I need Miss Shi to lend me a helping hand."

Xiao Shanghe blinked, feeling that this development seemed a bit off.

"Since you need Miss Shi’s help, why are you making the request to me?"

Zhen Yunjin gave him a subtly amused glance, then said, "Indeed, I need Miss Shi’s help. If Miss Shi agrees, then I’ll agree to dissolve the marriage agreement with you, otherwise you can just wait to clean yourself up to marry me."

Xiao Shanghe’s eyes widened in shock, protesting, "Even opportunism isn’t as bad as this!"
