Chapter 575 The child is not her weakness
Upon hearing this, not only Chen Fangyue, but even Chen Wei, who had been angry, changed her expression drastically.
Only Bo Jinyan stood to the side, silent, simply observing Chen Wei's expression.
It was indeed because of Aunt Chen Fangyue. Otherwise, why would the usually calm and composed eldest daughter of the Chen family suddenly change her expression when Xiao Ruo mentioned her?
As soon as she finished speaking, the door to the room suddenly opened from the inside, and Chen Fangyue slowly walked out of the room, smiling faintly with her eyes lowered: "I didn't expect that you would still find out."
She had always thought she had hidden it well, but when Sang Ruo arrived, it was as if she had already guessed it.
Not only did she accurately state her location, but she also managed to glean some insight into her thoughts.
Such a woman is terrifying.
“Just a normal guess.” Sang Ruo really didn’t guess anything: “After all, right now, apart from you, Chen Fangyue, no one wants Bojin Prefecture to be peaceful.”
She had been married to Bo Jinzhou for nine years, and they were husband and wife for nine years, so she knew Chen Fangyue's behavior all too well.
Nearly half of the suffering she had endured in the past came from this wicked mother-in-law.
It's impossible to say that I don't feel any resentment at all.
Chen Fangyue's lips curved into a faint smile, but there was no smile in her eyes: "Since you know, why won't you let Jinzhou go? He has already apologized and admitted his mistake, what more do you want from him? Do you have to drive him to his death before you are satisfied?"
"Look at what you're saying! When did I ever want to force him to his death?" Sang Ruo couldn't help but retort. "The one who's been relentlessly pursuing him is clearly himself, isn't he? Did I force him to imprison me?"
If it weren't for the imprisonment, and it were merely a complicated entanglement, she would at most have distanced herself from him.
They would never end up in jail.
As a result, Chen Fangyue made it seem as if everything was her fault, even though he himself also bore a great deal of responsibility.
Seeing that she was still arguing, Chen Fangyue was displeased: "Are you still trying to justify yourself? If Jinzhou hadn't met you, would he have ended up like this today? And yet you're trying to absolve yourself of all responsibility?"
"I'll say it again, can you hand over Jinzhou to me or not?"
She used her family connections to bring Sang Ruo here, with the aim of getting her to hand over Jinzhou.
If even this can't get Jinzhou out, then there's truly no hope for Jinzhou to escape at all.
Sang Ruo shook her head: "No, I have already made that very clear to you."
"Chen Wei, I don't know why you're helping Chen Fangyue, but you could have stayed out of it. Why did you have to step into the quagmire of Bojinzhou?"
If she hadn't gotten involved in Bo Jinzhou's matter, at least she could have maintained a certain level of friendship with her.
But once she got involved, the situation changed.
"This is none of your business." Chen Wei clearly didn't want to answer her question, and instead asked on Chen Fangyue's behalf, "Sang Ruo, I'll ask you one last time, are you going to give it to me or not?"
Sang Ruo's answer remained as crisp and decisive as ever: "No, that's it. No one can change that!"
She won't hand over Bo Jinzhou so easily.
Even if they threatened her with the children, it couldn't shake her decision!
She wanted to let these people know that children could not be a weakness for her, Sang Ruo!
Just because you have control over the child doesn't mean you can easily control her!
"Aren't you afraid I'll harm your child?" Chen Wei coldly reminded her, "Bo Yukang is your own son! Can't you release Bo Jinzhou for his sake?"
She refused to believe that with Bo Yukang as a hostage, Sang Ruo would remain completely unmoved.
Sang Ruo's answer remained unchanged: "No."
Upon hearing this, not only Chen Wei, but even Chen Fangyue's expression changed slightly, and her tone became urgent and intense: "Sang Ruo, Xiao Kang is your own son! How could you abandon your own son? Are you even human?"
Watching your child get into danger and doing nothing about it is simply unfit to be a mother!
If Xiaokang really follows her in the future, how can he expect to have a good life?
Shouldn't she turn him into a heartless and cold-blooded monster?
“But Bo Yukang is your own grandson!” Sang Ruo retorted calmly, “Didn’t you also kidnap him and then use him to make a deal with me? Why can you do it but I can’t?”
She was simply giving him a taste of his own medicine.
What could possibly excite her? Or was something that touched upon her interests, causing her to break down?
Bo Jinyan didn't expect Sang Ruo to use this move, but it was indeed very effective against people like Chen Wei and Chen Fangyue.
They believed that the biggest leverage was Bo Yukang, but all of this depended on one condition: that Sang Ruo was willing to take the risk for Bo Yukang.
But what if she doesn't want to? Then their threat would naturally disintegrate, wouldn't it?
Chen Fangyue's words became even more vehement: "I was forced into it! I had no choice but to make that decision! Can you compare to me? I can give everything for my son, can you?"
"You heartless woman, you can even abandon your own son, do you have any humanity left?"
The thief cries "Stop thief!"
She herself is the most inhumane one, yet she can turn around and criticize her as worthless.
“You can even kidnap your own grandson, who is more inhuman?” Sang Ruo sneered, her expression as indifferent as if she were an outsider: “Stop crying wolf here. No matter who has Xiao Kang in their hands, I will never release Bo Jinzhou.”
Are you trying to use the child to force her to give in?
One or two compromises are one thing, but it's the same every time.
If she doesn't become stronger, I'm afraid everyone will be able to use her child to force her to make concessions and then use this opportunity to achieve their own goals.
She wanted to let them know that children were not a weakness that could threaten her.
She wanted to completely block this path, leaving them with no way out.
Upon hearing this, Chen Fangyue became completely enraged. She turned around, went into the room, carried Bo Yukang out, placed him in front of her, and threatened him repeatedly, "Sang Ruo, you should take a good look. This is your own son. Do you really not want to care about him?"
“Mom…” Bo Yukang was so frightened that he almost cried.
Sang Ruo remained indifferent, watching Chen Wei's heart sink until a sudden sound of someone breaking down the door came from the side.
This broke the stiff and somewhat stagnant atmosphere.
"who?!"
Chen Wei roared instinctively, but fell silent as soon as she saw who it was.
The once assertive tone was gone, and the person became timid and submissive.
