2266 Using the child to pin you down
The sound of footsteps was heard from behind and Yin Yuerong, dressed in black, walked out unhurriedly. “You were finally willing to come back.”
“What is it? Did you finally come to your senses?” Yin Yuerong quietly asked after taking a sip of tea.
Si Yehan glanced at the woman and apathetically said, “I merely came to inform you: Worriless and my wedding is next month.”
In the next second, Yin Yuerong smashed her cup onto the ground.
Several shattered pieces flew up and headed straight toward Si Yehan, slas.h.i.+ng a b.l.o.o.d.y line against his neck.
“So you’re adamant about disobeying me? Merely because of that woman and a vile sp.a.w.n?” Yin Yuerong’s expression turned savage.
When Si Yehan heard the words “vile sp.a.w.n,” icicles shattered in his eyes. “Watch your words.”
Yin Yuerong chuckled lightly, her beautiful face contorting from her extreme fury. “Ah-Jiu, I told you—don’t force me. Mommy doesn’t want to make you marry a corpse.”
Lin Que sharply detected that Si Yehan might look composed but a crack clearly appeared on the cup in his hand.
Si Yehan’s face was icy. “You can try.”
Yin Yuerong chuckled. “Heh, you’ve truly grown full-fledged… Ah-Jiu, you used to never disobey Mommy’s words. That time, you were still young and so obedient. Even though I made you drink an intestine-perforating poison, you still listened obediently…”
However, ever since that woman appeared, her son had walked out of her control step by step.
Now, he even snuck into the Arbitration Council behind her back and played guarantor for that woman and started shaking down her power in the shadows…
When Lin Que, who had been trying his best to minimize his presence, heard this, he couldn’t help but scoff in his mind. What was she saying? What normal mom would make her real son consume intestine-perforating poison?
Yet, his Ninth Brother was an oddball and would trust Yin Yuerong absolutely. Even after discovering it was poison and suffering agonizing pain, he still obediently consumed it a second time, a third time, and a fourth time when she told him to.
Merely because she was his mother.
Yin Heng imperceptibly peered at the hostile mother and son duo before saying, “Eldest Brother, Mother is merely thinking about your wellbeing…”
Before Yin Heng could continue, a bone-chilling gaze suddenly shot toward him, making him feel like he was choked by the throat and unable to utter another word.
Si Yehan looked away from Yin Heng. “You already have an heir, so why did you need me to come back?”
Yin Yuerong smiled gently. “It’s different, of course. You’re Mommy’s most perfect creation.”
When Yin Heng heard this, his eyes flashed imperceptibly.
A derisive smile flickered across Si Yehan’s face. “Is that so? You’re flattering me.”
“Ah-Jiu, Mommy’s good son, you have too little experience in romance and you’re too naive in romantic affairs. You were merely deceived by that woman. How many women have you seen? Why do you want no one else but her?” Yin Yuerong scoffed. “Heh, that Worriless Nie actually used a child to tie you down. How did you fall into such a cheap trick?”
Perhaps in an attempt to appease him, Yin Yuerong gently continued: “Ah-Jiu, Mother is good friends with Vice President Qin, and he has intentions to connect to our family by marriage. Vice President Qin’s daughter is extraordinarily talented in martial arts, and she’s the most beautiful woman in Tianshui City. Each generation of their clan has held high positions in the Arbitration Council. Which one of her qualities isn’t stronger than some country b.u.mpkin from a peripheral state?”
