CHAPTER 261: CHAPTER 240: EVEN IN DEATH, YOU ARE MINE!

Zhou Mengqin continued to look at Rong Si, but asked Su Xiaomeng, who was standing behind her.

Su Xiaomeng’s heart tightened, she nodded, "...I understand."

"Sister Zhou, seeing you like this, are you planning to protect them to the end?"

"I, Zhou Mengqin, never protect someone without reason, despite knowing Mr. Rong for so long."

"Then what are you..."

"Didn’t Mr. Rong hear just now? My daughter-in-law said she did not seduce Ren Yixuan."

"I’m seventy today, and Mr. Rong is also over sixty, right? Young people in their early twenties say see to believe, hear as false, still able to hear because they haven’t encountered or experienced much."

"If Mr. Rong also firmly believes in ’seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving’, it wouldn’t be..."

Today Zhou Mengqin wore a cheongsam, her fair face adorned with light makeup, short white hair pinned at the back, secured with a simple and elegant hairpin.

Elegant and dignified.

"According to Sister Zhou, are the evidence and such not important at all?"

"Of course it’s important, but relying on your Rong Family to come here and say a few words, and bring out a video to convict my daughter-in-law..."

Zhou Mengqin slightly raised her chin, "Let me ask Rong Si, is your family here to celebrate this old woman’s birthday, or purely to bring me trouble?"

"Not to mention whether my daughter-in-law really committed a crime, even if she did, shouldn’t Mr. Rong choose another day for justice?"

"Sister Zhou, my daughter is truly heartbroken, otherwise..."

"Your daughter is heartbroken? Does your daughter’s heartbreak mean you lack even the basic manners and respect? Young ones don’t understand things, as elders we can only teach, if continuous indulgence..."

"What will be cultivated would probably turn out to be a bunch of overbearing scoundrels, right?"

"Old Madam Yin, your daughter-in-law first did such shameless things, you don’t rebuke her, but care about irrelevant matters...you’re just beating around the bush, aren’t you?"

Qian Lan who had been silent couldn’t hold back anymore.

The Rong family differs from the Yin family, in the Rong family, women’s status is much lower, in some important occasions, they are quite taboo to speak.

"Mrs. Rong, don’t rush, things must be dealt with one by one, getting impatient...is prone to mistakes."

"Shi Lan, Shi Hua, your Uncle Rong and Aunt Rong want to sit for a while, chat with them, let the kitchen bring some snacks first."

Zhou Mengqin instructed her two daughters, then looked at Su Xiaomeng, "Can you still walk?"

Su Xiaomeng nodded...

"Fourth, let her go. Xiaomeng, follow me to the study, I want to talk to you alone."

After speaking, Zhou Mengqin approached Yin Shaohui, whispered a few words in his ear, Yin Shaohui nodded.

Then, Su Xiaomeng followed Zhou Mengqin upstairs.

Rong Jing walked to Yin Shixiu’s side, "Brother Shixiu, don’t be too sad...anyway, no matter what, you love her...right?"

Yin Shixiu’s gaze followed Su Xiaomeng’s shaky figure until she disappeared at the staircase entrance before withdrawing his gaze.

His eyes slowly turned to Rong Jing, he glanced at Rong Jing...

Without saying a word, he took a step...

Rong Jing stood in place, the playful, slightly feminine pretty face stiffened momentarily.

Felt exceptionally uneasy and...

Those words didn’t come out, suppressed by Rong Jing.

He’s not crossing Yin Shixiu for the first time, what’s there to fear...

But when Yin Shixiu’s gaze swept over him at that moment, he really felt a chill down his back, albeit just for that moment.

Rong Si glanced upstairs, then said to Yin Shaohui, "Your wife seems to hold more authority in this house than you..."

Yin Shaohui raised his eyebrow and then honestly said, "I am just an uncouth man, before retiring I was decent in the army, but household matters, the children’s matters, without Mengqin, I’m truly incapable."

"...Hehe, there are fewer like Brother Shaohui who trust women to run the household so freely."

"But Brother, one moment he sets family rules, the next moment overturned by his wife...Seems the Fourth Young Master follows suit, doesn’t quite regard male dignity and face as anything substantial..."

"Besides natural physical strength being slightly stronger than women, men don’t have much advantage otherwise, conversely...considering handling emotions, household, women are far more meticulous than men."

"Men’s dignity and face should be used in conquering worlds, not flaunting before their wives, don’t you think?"

"Heh..."

"If today, little brother Rong Si came specifically to provoke..."

Yin Shaohui’s eyes narrowed, dangerously looking at Rong Si.

"Wouldn’t dare, wouldn’t dare, I just hope you and Sister Zhou can give justice to my daughter."

"Madam is much more fair and steady than me."

Yin Shaohui and Rong Si chatted sporadically, knowing full well the Rong family harbors ill intentions...

However, without ample evidence, he’d rather let his own family endure some grievances.

Momentary triumph doesn’t signify much.

Now he only hopes, after Madam talks with Su Xiaomeng, that little girl will be wise, and stop clinging to stubbornness!

What’s with not lying, not wanting to deceive...being so forthright, how can she manage in the future?

Study.

Su Xiaomeng followed Zhou Mengqin inside.

"Shut the door. Come here."

Zhou Mengqin sat on the sofa, her hands on her knees, even at this moment, she remained elegantly admired by Su Xiaomeng.

"Do you know what you just did?"

She asked her, the tone was unexpectedly severe and solemn, her face showed no tenderness.

This change made Su Xiaomeng lose her balance at once.

"I’m asking you a question! Open your mouth if you have one! What did you just do?"

Su Xiaomeng closed her eyes...she slowly kneeled down, crawling to Zhou Mengqin, "Mom...sob sob..."

"Cry? What use is crying!?"

"Woo woo..."

"Tell me, what are you going to do next? You’ve disgraced everyone in the Yin Family, your husband’s reputation, including your grandfather, your parents’ faces, all gone because of you!"

Su Xiaomeng lowered her head, not knowing what to do...

"A daughter-in-law who committed infidelity within marriage, do you think the Yin Family can keep you? Do you know what I care about most..."

Zhou Mengqin’s voice was almost as cold as below zero.

Su Xiaomeng’s mind went blank for a moment, then she closed her eyes—

"I’m sorry..."

"Sorry doesn’t work, I’m asking you, what do you plan to do next!"

"I... I... I will divorce Shixiu, I will go far away, I—"

The door was pushed open, and then Yin Shixiu walked in with big strides, he immediately grabbed Su Xiaomeng and slapped her!

The slap made Su Xiaomeng’s head buzz...

She was stunned, her cheek tingling... She looked at Yin Shixiu in shock.

He... hit her.

"Are you clear-headed now?!"

Yin Shixiu grabbed her slender bamboo-like hand and shouted low in anger!

Why were his eyes red... how come his eyes... seemed to be watery...

Su Xiaomeng stared blankly at Yin Shixiu.

Her heart slowly, slowly tightened.

And then...

She nodded heavily.

"From now on, if you dare to mention a word about divorce, I’ll choke you to death directly! You simply don’t have the right! Even if you die, you are mine!"

Tears slid from Su Xiaomeng’s eyes...

Her lips, long devoid of color, trembled slightly.

Yin Shixiu suddenly pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly, tightly...

He was really afraid she might suddenly vanish.

"Fool... fool... fool..."

Yin Shixiu muttered, pressing her head against his chest, wishing he could keep her in his heart.

Oh God...

He was hurting so much he could barely breathe.

Scalding tears dropped onto Su Xiaomeng’s neck, making her eyes widen in shock, every cell in her body trembling...

"Fool..."

Su Xiaomeng could no longer hold back the grievance and bitterness in her heart, she hugged Yin Shixiu back, burying her face in his chest, crying out loudly!

"Uncle... woo woo... woo woo..."

Yin Shixiu simply couldn’t imagine how much she suffered these days, how much torment...

Couldn’t fathom her fear and despair...

"You should have told me, how could you not tell me? How could you... huh?"

"I feel, I feel... dirty... ah... I feel disgusted by myself... Uncle, what should I do... what should I do... woo woo..."

Yin Shixiu bent down, could only hold her tighter...

"I’m afraid you are also disgusted by me... I’m afraid you also find me dirty... I will collapse... I really will collapse... I, I... have collapsed... woo woo..."

"I thought I could keep it hidden..."

Yin Shixiu turned his head to kiss her hair, kissed her ear, "I love you, Meng Meng... I don’t think you’re dirty, I won’t be disgusted by you, if there’s even a tiny bit of disdain in my heart for you, I would be struck by lightning! Believe me, believe me..."

Su Xiaomeng’s tears flowed non-stop...

Could only bury her face in his chest, crying loudly, venting...

The more pain she felt, the louder she cried, the more grievance, the more tears...

He held her tightly like this... constantly comforting her.

He did not blame her, did not get angry at her, did not despise her, did not feel disgusted by her, he was hurting for her...

At this moment, he was just hurting for her.

"Uncle... woo woo..."

Could she give him her heart, would that be enough?

If not, how could she repay his love...

Zhou Mengqin turned her face away, wiping away a tear that had unknowingly fallen.

The study room was quiet, as Su Xiaomeng, struggling but bravely, spoke out word by word everything that happened that night.

Yin Shixiu held her in his arms, gently patting her back, providing as much comfort as possible.

That wound still bleeding, now had to be pulled open again for them to see.

Her little fists clenched tightly, tightly...

Zhou Mengqin, watching Su Xiaomeng’s sad expression, was moved.

But she knew better that just indulging in the already occurred tragedy did no good for the present.

"Meng Meng, lift your eyes, look at me."

Su Xiaomeng sniffed, lifted her head to look at Mrs. Yin, her big eyes already red and swollen from crying, and two large teardrops still hung on those long, black eyelashes.
