Chapter 1559: Foolish Filial Piety

Originally, she hadn't paid any mind to the newcomers, but they had assaulted the police—that was far too bold. Moreover, she had looked at Nianyin's hands and could tell at a glance that she was a trained fighter, so she hadn't acted rashly.

Of the other two women, one was alluring in appearance and was a sex worker.

The sex worker was "resourceful and sagacious," serving as the Military Advisor to the big sister.

The other one, who looked ordinary, was a thief and also a Military Advisor.

The two of them were considered the "right and left arms" of the big sister; the three of them were thick as thieves and had bullied many people.

Just now, the big sister had wanted to make a move, but the two of them had stopped her, telling her to observe for a while longer. Thus, the three of them watched the situation unfold quietly and did not flare up over the change in the cell's boss.

On the surface, everything in the cell seemed fine, but in reality, there were undercurrents surging.

The two of them were unaware of this.

Ji Yingjie drove everyone away and complained to Nianyin: "Tell me, when will you ever use your brain? You're such a grown person, yet you still act so impulsively. Why did you follow me in? It would have been fine if it were just me here, but now you've gotten yourself dragged into this too."

The way she said this, it was as if she weren't the one who had been shouting and ordering Nianyin to hit the police back at the company.

Nianyin said respectfully: "It's fine, I'm willing. Being able to serve and accompany Mother is my greatest blessing."

These words were very pleasant to hear, but she complained nonetheless: "What blessing? I think you're just dim-witted."

"Next time you're interrogated, have a better attitude. Xuanxuan can help us maneuver things from the outside. You should strive to get out as soon as possible; every one that gets out is one less."

Don't let her complaints to Nianyin fool you; in reality, she had deep feelings for Nianyin. Nianyin had saved her life many times, and she treated her as a true daughter; the bond between mother and daughter was deep.

Nianyin had always been obedient, but this time she defied her: "No, I want to live and die with you, and face everything together."

"You really are dim-witted."

Ji Yingjie felt frustrated that she wouldn't live up to expectations and kicked her.

"To hell with living and dying together. I don't want to die, and only if you get out can you better save me. The trouble I've caused this time is a bit big, I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle..."

She and Nianyin conversed in the language of the Ji Family, briefly explaining to Nianyin what she had done.

Ji Yingjie ordered that after Nianyin got out, she should use money to settle things with the heads of those small companies; she hadn't harmed anyone's life, just caused them to go bankrupt.

Since the conflict arose from money, then solve it with money. Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem!

Once those people were dealt with, they would find a way to handle the remaining issues.

Only then did Nianyin agree: "Alright, I will listen to you."

Thus, during the second interrogation, both of them told the truth.

Over these past few days, Shi Youxuan had also spent a lot of effort on the outside.

Although assaulting the police was not a small matter, it hadn't caused serious consequences, so Nianyin was just criticized and educated, fined a large sum of money, and then released.

After Nianyin got out, the first thing she did was go find those people, intending to compensate them with money and then save Mother.

She had just prepared to leave when her son arrived.

"Yulong? Why aren't you in class at school? Why did you run here? You go back first, Mother has very important things to do." Nianyin pushed her son aside, preparing to leave.

Yulong blocked her path again, his expression very ugly, and said word by word: "Why did you assault the police?"

"Don't you worry about adult matters, you child." Nianyin said as if it were a matter of course.

"I am not a child anymore, do you know I have the College Entrance Examination this year?" Yulong almost roared.

He was about to be angered to death by his mother.

This mother who only gave birth but didn't raise him had ruined his future!

Yulong now hated immensely that he was Nianyin's biological son.

But one cannot choose their birth, and this mother who only gave birth but didn't raise him had still ruined his future.

He wanted to apply to a military academy and his physical examination results were excellent, but during the political vetting, someone suddenly walked in and whispered something to the officer in charge of the vetting, and the officer's expression changed.

"Student Zhang Yulong, your political vetting is unqualified."

The officer turned to leave after speaking, and Yulong was stunned; he didn't understand what had happened.

But he found out very soon, because Nianyin's affair had already hit the news, and it was the headline!

He was furious and came to hold her accountable the moment his mother got out.

Nianyin felt that what her son valued so much was unimportant, and she said: "Have all your years of schooling gone into a dog's belly? I gave you your life; life is greater than heaven. You come here to hold me accountable over such a trivial matter?"

"Don't talk about failing the political vetting; even if you couldn't get into university, you still can't point out my faults!"

His mother was unreasonable, and Yulong was furious: "You are not my mother, I don't have a mother like you!"

"Slap!" A slap landed, and five clear finger marks immediately appeared on Yulong's face.

He covered his face with his hand, his eyes full of hatred, but he didn't say another word.

"What are you glaring at? Are you unconvinced?"

Nianyin put on the airs of a family head and was just about to properly discipline her son who didn't know the order of seniority, when Shi Yuke chased after them.

She blocked Yulong behind her and questioned Nianyin: "Why are you hitting people? It was your fault to begin with, apologize!"

"I apologize to him? Is there something wrong with your brain? As a son, he comes to question the faults of me, his mother, and I should apologize to him? Do you even know how to raise a child? It's all your fault that he turned out like this!"

"It's your brain that has something wrong with it. You're an old feudalist who crawled out of an ancient tomb. What era is this, and you're still harping on that stuff? Unreasonable, just like your mother..."

The two women stood at the door and started arguing.

When it came to arguing, Nianyin was no match.

If it came to a physical fight, Shi Yuke would definitely lose!

Nianyin's fists cracked as she clenched them; she tried hard to restrain the urge to hit someone and demanded that Shi Yuke apologize for what she had just said.

She could curse her for anything, but she couldn't curse her mother even once!

Shi Yuke couldn't possibly apologize; instead, she cursed more and more fluently.

She cursed Ji Yingjie for not knowing how to teach, saying that if the upper beam is crooked, the lower ones will be askew, which is why there was an unreasonable foster daughter like Nianyin!

Not only was she unreasonable to others, she was also unreasonable to her own son.

Even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs, yet she remained indifferent to her son suffering such a great grievance.

Shi Yuke said other things, but Nianyin could not listen to any of them; she was only brooding over the fact that Shi Yuke had cursed her mother.

Shi Yuke refused to apologize, and Nianyin prepared to take action.

The force of her strike was not great, because she knew Shi Yuke could not take a beating.

A slap went out, but it did not hit Shi Yuke; it was blocked by her son Yulong, and in an instant, she received a stinging slap on her own face!

Yulong gritted his teeth: "If you dare to touch a single finger of my mother, I will fight you to the death!"

"You bastard, are you trying to rebel against the heavens?"

Nianyin wanted to discipline her son, but just as she was about to move, Shi Yuke also reacted quickly, pulling her son along to run away immediately.

……

This incident had a great impact on Yulong.

The little affection that had originally existed between the mother and son, Nianyin and him, was completely severed because of those two slaps!
