Chapter 1792: Good Steel Should Be Used on the Blade

~8 min read 1,424 words

But he didn't do so now. Zirui said to his father, "Right, you should show more concern. I have many fun stories from Phoenix Village; would everyone like to hear them..."

Thus, the trouble was diverted, and everyone's attention was shifted.

Today was the day Zirui returned home, a good day, and it was indeed inappropriate to bring up unpleasant topics. Sheng Hanyu had his waist pinched by his wife, so he let it go.

The whole family happily ate a reunion dinner.

And what no one knew was that after Zirui left the office, Minister Kang did not get off work; he continued to work overtime until late at night before leaving!

Minister Kang was very satisfied with Zirui.

This young man was someone he had favored for a long time, and he certainly did not disappoint him.

Minister Kang had deliberately arranged double the workload for him today.

No matter how capable Zirui was, he was still a newcomer. It was already quite impressive that he could quickly enter a working state and complete the tasks excellently without being familiar with the environment.

Very good; in the future, he must be used where it counts.

After he himself was promoted, the next Minister of Commerce would be him, but it was not the time yet. He was still too young and needed much more experience.

"Sob sob sob..."

"Sob sob sob..."

Shi Yuke was crying non-stop at home.

The ashtray was already piled high with cigarette butts, and Gu Zhihao was squatting on the ground, holding his head and sighing.

"What should we do? What on earth should we do?"

The couple looked miserable, and neither knew what to do.

The only thing that could make a middle-aged couple look so miserable was probably their child.

They had just received a notice from Yulong's school: Yulong had been expelled!

This news was like a bolt from the blue, and it instantly made the sky over the Gu Family collapse.

Since Yulong started school, he had always performed excellently with good grades; how could he suddenly be expelled?

The couple rushed to the school to reason with the teachers, but the evidence the teachers produced left them speechless.

Yulong had skipped classes multiple times, failed courses, talked back to teachers, hung out with social delinquents, and stayed out all night.

He disregarded school regulations, had tattoos, wore bizarre clothes, fought and caused trouble on the streets, and even engaged in group gambling. After two warnings yielded no results, he was expelled.

The couple tried to contact Yulong but could not reach him; seeing it was their phone number, he simply wouldn't answer.

"What should we do? How did he turn out like this when he was doing so well?" Shi Yuke could not figure it out. Yulong had always had excellent grades and was named an outstanding student at the Police Academy several times; how could he have fallen so suddenly?

Gu Zhihao couldn't figure it out either, but seeing his wife crying non-stop, he felt too heartbroken, so he looked for a reason.

"Stop crying. This can't be blamed on you. All three children were raised with the same method; why are the other two fine, and only Yulong is like this?"

"It has to do with his biological parents. Lao Qi is fine, but that Nianyin has always been an expert at causing trouble. Yulong takes after his biological mother..."

Speak of the devil.

At this moment, Nianyin stormed in, furious.

Gu Zhihao was startled. Was it possible she heard him badmouthing her?

He trembled with fear. If it were anyone else, it might be fine, but it happened to be Nianyin. This woman was cold-faced and ruthless, and she was already in a temper. If she laid a hand on him, she would definitely put him in the hospital.

No, being hospitalized would be considered lucky; he was afraid he might be beaten to death!

He was overthinking it; Nianyin hadn't heard him badmouthing her at all, but she had indeed come to settle accounts this time!

As soon as Nianyin entered, she started a confrontation: "Shi Yuke, how did you educate my son? How did he end up getting expelled when he was doing so well?"

"I left my good son in your home; I haven't treated you poorly over the years, have I? I haven't sent a cent for living expenses, so why didn't you treat him fairly? You cannot shirk the responsibility for Yulong being like this now."

She demanded accountability with righteous indignation, feeling that giving money was everything.

Shi Yuke was already feeling guilty, and after being snapped at by Nianyin, she almost went to jump into the river!

Gu Zhihao dared not talk back to Nianyin directly, so he called his sister-in-law, Shi Youxuan, to complain and have her step in to handle her.

To deal with a tigress like Nianyin, no one was useful except Shi Youxuan.

Shi Youxuan arrived quickly, while Nianyin was still aggressively demanding to know what Shi Yuke was going to do.

She walked over and pulled Nianyin, saying displeasedly, "Stop acting so fierce and aggressive here. Pressuring her at a time like this is of no use at all."

"Does the child becoming like this have nothing to do with you? You, as his biological mother, haven't cared for the child at all. For years, the child has been kept in someone else's home. Now that he's done something bad, you're anxious, but when he was doing well, he was your son? You take all the credit for the good things."

How could Nianyin not know this logic?

She knew everything, but her anger always needed a place to vent.

Now, after being lectured by Shi Youxuan, she stopped shouting and said aggrievedly, "Sister, I know it's useless, but I have no other choice. Lao Qi scolded me at home, saying I don't care about the child and am not fit to be a biological mother."

"He is his biological father, too; why must I be the only one to manage the child? No one has cared for him for so many years, and now that a problem has arisen, they push all the blame onto me. On what grounds?"

So it turned out she was venting because she had been frustrated at home.

Shi Youxuan glared at her: "You have the nerve to talk about him? You're no different." She told everyone to sit down and discuss calmly what to do next.

The most important thing now is the child; let's call Yulong back and ask him.

Getting Yulong to come home also took a lot of effort.

Everyone called his phone, and he rejected every call. Later, Shi Youxuan used technological means to find his exact location and called the people around him, only then managing to contact him.

The first thing Yulong asked was: "Aunt, how did you get my friend's number?"

Shi Youxuan: "I'll tell you when you get home. Come back quickly; if you don't come back, your mother is going to hang herself."

After saying this, she hung up the phone.

Nianyin asked: "Sister, why didn't you specify which home to return to? What if he goes to the wrong one?"

At her home, Lao Qi was there. If that guy saw Yulong return, he might break his legs if he went easy, and it would be hard to say if he went hard.

Shi Youxuan rolled her eyes at her and said bluntly, "Rest assured, he will definitely return here. Your home is just a hotel to him, and not one he visits often. This is his home, and she is his mother." Shi Youxuan pointed at her sister beside her.

Nianyin's face felt a little hot.

Elder sister is right; for so many years, other than giving money, she has rarely put in the effort to take care of the child. When the child was fine, he was her pride, but now that Yulong has problems, she has come over to find fault.

If Shi Yuke spoke like that, she would not be convinced and would have even more reasons to retort.

But when elder sister mocks her, she will not talk back.

Yulong has returned.

He is not alone; he has brought five or six ruffian-like young men with him.

Several of them have nose studs and three or four piercings in their ears.
