Chapter 398: All at Your Will
Sun Mei was so angry that her face turned red and white, and then white and red. After a long while, she finally said, "I think you have it wrong. Who is bullying who? You know your father and I are already old, and you are treating us like your grandsons and teaching us a lesson?"
Yin Dong's arrogance subsided a little, and his tone became more serious. "Aren't you two old people teaming up to bully a younger one? How dare she bully you?"
Sun Mei sat down from her chair and gave Yin Dong a fierce look. "Why did she come to you to complain? She made you so angry. You have no respect for your elders!"
Yin Dong felt relieved and pulled a chair to sit down. "She didn't say a word."
Sun Mei snorted coldly, clearly showing her disbelief.
"Didn't she want to be completely honest with you? How could she hold back on such a big thing?"
When the word "loyalty" came out, Yin Dong raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in a gentle voice, "What did she say?"
Sun Mei was furious when she saw his useless look. "What did you say? What did you say? Why should I tell you? Am I supposed to be your mouthpiece?"
Yin Dong couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips. He picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for his mother. "Calm down. Tell me how she made you angry. I'll criticize you later."
"Hmph! Criticism? I think you've been blinded by greed. You wouldn't even be able to say 'no' in front of her! I've seen it all along. This little girl has you in her clutches. No wonder she's so bold. She's not even afraid of the Xue family, not even your father. She's simply stubborn and ungrateful!"
Sun Mei felt so angry that her stomach ached when she thought about what happened when she met Jiang Yuan at noon. She had never seen such a bold and stubborn girl in her life.
Seeing her mother so angry, Yin Dong probably guessed that Jiang Yuan must not have suffered a big loss at the hands of his parents. "Don't look down on your son too much. Tell me, what excessive words did she say? If she really offended you, I will go back and spank her."
Sun Mei glared at him fiercely again, turned her face away, and didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.
As a mother, how could she not see what he was thinking? She just wanted to hear how the girl expressed her unwavering determination, but she refused to say it.
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of her mother, Yin Dong stood up and walked out.
Sun Mei called out to him from behind, "Stop, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Yin Dong turned his head, with an expression of "I'll do whatever you say".
Sun Mei said with a sullen face, "That girl won't listen to advice. Don't mess around with her. This is a serious matter. It affects the whole body. You should persuade her to give up those thoughts. If you insist on being with her, I won't stop you. Just be in love. There's no need to make a big fuss. But if she wants to drag you into doing something stupid, your father and I firmly disagree. This is also your father's intention. The Xue family cannot touch it."
Yin Dong turned away with a dull expression. Sun Mei knew from his expression that all these words were useless. She watched him walk out the door and shouted at him in a stern tone, "Without your father's support, I don't think you can fight the Xue family!"
Yin Dong came out of the main hall, turned a corner and went to find the housekeeper.
"Uncle Wei, as you get older, presbyopia is inevitable. I'll take you to get a pair of reading glasses someday when I have time."
The old butler was terrified and said, "Master, no need. I am very happy that you have this thought."
Yin Dong slowly pulled a chair and sat down, his tone very friendly, "Uncle Wei, your ears should be working well, right?"
The old butler was very alert: "Master, what do you want to know?"
"Repeat what Jiang Yuan said here at noon."
He didn't make things difficult for the old butler, nor did he ask him to repeat what Yin Zhengxian had said, he just asked Jiang Yuan.
The housekeeper thought it over again and again, and repeated everything Jiang Yuan said at noon in detail.
Yin Dong's face was like the sky after the rain, getting brighter and brighter. The sunlight finally broke through the last layer of mist and spread golden light all over the ground.
