Chapter 497 The Returnee



Upon hearing this, the attendant felt very wronged.

If he hadn't been so terrified of his young master's constant torment, how could he have become so pathetic?

Having endured so much beatings and scoldings, my subconscious instinct is to shrink away.

But as for fear, it's not necessarily true. After all, these beatings and scoldings weren't even half as ruthless as his young master's, and he was already used to it.

"Young master, my sincerity towards you is as clear as the sun and moon. If I have uttered a single lie, may I die a horrible death!"

"roll!"

With that, he kicked his follower hard in the chest, then turned and left.

The servants behind him, fearing they would be implicated, followed with pale faces, without even glancing at the fallen attendant.

The sun, nearing noon, was warm and exceptionally bright, yet the fallen attendant remained completely unaware of it.

He felt severe angina and his body was getting colder and colder.

As it got later and later, the crowd gradually gathered.

"Poor thing, whose young man has fainted on the road!"

"Judging from his clothes, he's a servant from a wealthy family."

"Could this be fatal? Should we take him to the clinic?"

“This person,” a hesitant voice said, “looks like the young master of the Jin family’s attendant. I saw him at the gambling den.”

"So it's the Jin family. That's none of our business."

"Indeed, sigh, it's over, it's over, everyone should go home!"

“Father,” Jin Shi said, turning to Jin Ming who was half-closing his eyes after hearing the discussion, “Isn’t that Gou Sheng’s attendant? Why is he lying on the road?”

"Don't you know what kind of person the young master is? He's arrogant, vicious, and selfish. Who knows what kind of anger he's suffered and he's taking it out on Gou Sheng?"

This kind of thing is perfectly normal.

Those closest to Jin Yu suffer the most from his poison.

Fortunately, he has already broken away from the Kim family!

“He looks so pitiful, Dad. Why don’t we take him to the clinic?”

"Send him to the clinic?" Jin Ming sneered. "When I almost lost my life, this bastard didn't show any mercy!"

If it weren't for good luck in being rescued, the whole family would have fallen apart.

Of course, things aren't much better now.

Thinking of his wife at home, Jin Ming instantly pursed his lips, his eyes filled with a cold light.

Upon hearing this, Jin's expression also turned cold. "Indeed, it's pointless to save such a heartless person. Brother, let's continue on our way and not waste any more time."

"Um."

As soon as the sound fell, the carriage slowly began to move.

"Forget it, let's take him to the clinic," Jin Ming said through gritted teeth. "It's a life after all. Let's lend a hand and consider it an act of kindness."

It's so frustrating to even think about.

But if I don't do it, I can't get past my own conscience.

“Okay,” Jin Yong nodded slowly. “You all stay in the carriage. I’ll park the car on the side and take them to the clinic.”

“Father,” Jin asked in confusion, “why did you suddenly change your mind?”

"That ingrate is a beast. If we were like him, we would be lowering ourselves. There's no need for that. It's just a matter of a few taels of silver. Let's spend the money to buy peace of mind!"

He's not someone who can't afford to spend a few taels of silver!

“Dad is just stubborn but soft-hearted,” Jin said, pursing her lips. “But it’s good, though. Mother always says that doing good deeds will bring good fortune. The good deeds we do might just protect our relatives.”

Upon hearing this, Jin Ming thought of his wife, paused for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Girl, if I divorce your mother, will you hate me?"

He simply couldn't tolerate this vicious woman, not even for a quarter of an hour. That's why he struggled to come back before his internal injuries had healed.

“I don’t hate her,” Jin shook her head. “From the day she lied to my daughter, I’ve considered myself as if I didn’t have a mother.”

Even now, thinking about it still chills me to the bone.

She never imagined that her mother's clever schemes would be used against her own family.

In the past, this woman always said that the master's family had been very kind to her, and that Miss Xiuhui was well-behaved and lovable, so it was inevitable that they would show her some favoritism.

She initially thought it was just a flattering remark, after all, no matter how close the mistress of the main family was, she could never surpass her own bloodline.

It turns out that the other person had already expressed their true feelings, but they just didn't want to believe it.

She tilted her head back, forced back her tears, smiled nonchalantly, and then said, "You shouldn't ask me about this. My brother isn't married yet, so it has a bigger impact."

“I have no objection,” Jin Yong said in a low voice. “If Dad wants to do it, then do it. I’m fine.”

Why did Dad insist on coming back despite his health?

How can it not be heartbreaking when a perfectly good family falls apart so suddenly?

However, he himself couldn't forgive his mother, so how could he have the face to ask his father to let it go?

“But this way,” Jin Ming hesitated, “your marriage may be significantly affected.”

The daughter's in-laws are easy to get along with, so they won't mistreat her for this reason, but the son is not yet married, so it will inevitably affect his marriage.

Originally, their family had been looked down upon since they were converted from servants to wives. If they divorced, they probably wouldn't even be able to marry a woman of average looks.

“It’s alright,” Jin Yong said nonchalantly. “My son doesn’t want to get married anyway.”

He was terrified of his own mother.

With such a cold-hearted person as my bedmate, I can't even sleep peacefully.

If something goes wrong, they won't just offer help; they might even personally get involved and kick you a few times.

Just thinking about it terrifies Jin Yong.

Upon hearing this, Jin Ming sighed softly, "I still need to marry a wife, but she must be honest and dutiful, someone I can completely control."

This is the biggest setback Jin Ming has ever suffered.

I used to think that women were just like that, and that it was better to make do if you didn't have one, but now I think that the saying "femme fatale" is not an exaggeration at all.

“My son thinks so too,” Jin Yong smiled憨厚ly. “We’ll just buy one when we find a suitable one. After all, it’s about carrying on the family line. Who won’t do?”

If she's from a good family, and they don't even like him, why should he still treat her like royalty?

After experiencing this incident, the Kim family's thinking has completely changed.

“That’s what I’m thinking too,” Jin Ming nodded. “Go to the brokerage firm another day, and if there’s a suitable one, just buy him. Observe him for a while, and if he’s of good character, then you can take him in.”

Once bitten, twice shy; now, he doesn't even trust the servants he buys.

Without seeing his character clearly, I can't feel at ease at all.

“Okay,” Jinming nodded. “Father, sister, wait a moment. I’ll take the person to the clinic and come right back.”

"Brother, go quickly, don't delay, I've been wanting to go home for a long time."

“Sure enough, girls are more outgoing,” Jin Ming shook his head. “It’s only been a short while, and you can’t resist.”

“Father, look at what you’re saying,” Jin said with displeasure. “If I were really so eager to go out, I would have come back with my husband long ago. Why would I have been serving you for so long?”

"I'm sorry to have wronged you," Jinming said, patting his daughter's head affectionately. "A young lady like you, left alone in the city, living in fear and with no one to rely on."

If the son-in-law were here, it would be fine, but unfortunately, he left as well.

What's the use of writing more letters? I don't feel at ease when the person isn't here.

“I’m not aggrieved,” Jin shook her head. “The Han family did a good job, and my brother was there too. I didn’t help much.”
