Chapter 293 - Family Affection Defeated by Rights

If the other party was short of money, they would not be in this situation now.

Tang Yao grabbed a pillow and threw it hard at him. “Shen Xiuwen, it doesn’t matter if you want to die. Don’t drag me and my son down with you. You’d better give up your sister, or we’ll get divorced!”

“Is there really no other way?” Shen Xiuwen asked, “Then… then how can I explain it to my mother?”

Tang Yao was so angry with him and said, “Excuse me? If your mother hadn’t encouraged Shen Li, how could she kidnap a child? Now, she wants an explanation. I also want to ask her for it!”

“But if my mother knows about it, she will be unable to bear it.” Shen Xiuwen gritted his teeth. “How about hiding the news from her first?”

“Nonsense!” Tang Yao stared at him. “You go to the police station tomorrow and hand in Shen Li’s evidence. Remember to call the opposite party first and tell them your decision.”

Shen Xiuwen went into the bathroom with a dejected face. Tang Yao didn’t care. She suddenly remembered something and went to call her assistant.

The next day, Shen Li was taken to a car.

“Where are you taking me?” She was so frightened because even her brother could not afford to offend these people. Even if she was killed now, no one would know.

But, nobody paid any attention to her. The car went straight to the police station.

“Brother?!” When Shen Li saw that Shen Xiuwen was inside, she immediately relaxed and rushed up to shout to him. “You left me yesterday, I’ll tell our mother later!”

She completely forgot the conversation between Le Yi and Shen Xiuwen yesterday and thought that her brother came to pick her up.

“Lil Li, you can rest assured that I will manage everything for you and help you out for at least three years!” Shen Xiuwen clapped Shen Li on the shoulder. He only had one sister. In order to afford his studies, his sister had dropped out of junior high school.

But now…

“Don’t be afraid, the people inside won’t bully you!” Shen Xiuwen clenched his fists. Until the end of this year… As long as he became a secretary…

Shen Li looked at him blankly. “Brother, what are you talking about?”

A policeman came up to her and told her a series of crimes. Finally, the policeman said, “Shen Li, now, according to the crimes of kidnapping, coercion, and endangering the body of others, we…

“You can be silent, ask a lawyer for help, and every word you say now will serve as a testimony in court.” With that, she was handcuffed.

Shen Li’s face turned pale instantly. “Brother? What are they going to do?”

“Lil Li, you can rest assured, rest assured!” Apart from these words, Shen Xiuwen didn’t know what else to say.

“I don’t want to go to jail!” Shen Li finally understood and began to scream and struggle. “Brother! Brother, help me!”

Shen Xiuwen’s face was red, but he never looked at his sister again and went over to Shen I.

“I hope you will keep your promise.”

Shen I said lightly, “Rest assured, we are not interested in you.”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

“Shen Xiuwen!!” Shen Li was not an idiot. When she thought something happened yesterday, she knew that she had been abandoned by her brother. “You wait, I won’t forgive you, nor will Mom. You wait for her to deal with you. Wait…”

Shen Li’s voice was getting fainter and fainter as she was pulled in by the police.

“Is his sister locked up?” After hearing Shen I’s report, A Miao mocked him. “It is indeed his official position that is more important.”

He Shishi, grabbing a mango with Yaya beside her, turned her head and made a disdainful sound. “If he were a good official, he would not have such a sister. I’d rather worry about how the old lady would react if she knew about it!”

Old lady Shen was at the door of Shen Xiuwen’s house. She called Shen Li but got no answer, so she intended to come here to see.

“Mom?” Tang Yao was shocked to see the old lady coming in. “Why are you here?”

“This is my son’s house. Why can’t I come?” Old lady Shen had always disliked this daughter-in-law and always thought she was bullying her son because she was richer.

Tang Yao didn’t care about her attitude. It was not the first time anyway, but today…

“Sit down and I’ll see if Lil Lu is awake!”

Old lady Shen snorted, sat cross-legged on the sofa, looked at the time, and shouted, “Don’t call Lil Lu. Let him sleep!”

“…” Tang Yao frowned and secretly sent a text message to Shen Xiuwen.

Old lady Shen was very happy to see her grandson. After playing for a while, she heard the door open.

“Why did you come so early, Mom?” Shen Xiuwen came in in a hurry.

“What do you mean? I can’t come here?” Old lady Shen’s face was solemn. “I came to see my daughter. It has nothing to do with you.”

Shen Xiuwen was about to say something when he saw Tang Yao come out in her professional clothes.

“There’s something wrong with my company. I have to see to it!” She went over to Shen Xiuwen and lowered her voice. “You can tell her that Lil Li ran out to have fun early in the morning.”

Shen Xiuwen understood what she meant, so he nodded.

“What are you planning?” Old lady Shen was not satisfied. “Do you want to drive me out again?”

Tang Yao curled her lips, opened the door, and left.

“Look at your daughter-in-law’s attitude!” Old lady Shen smacked the sofa loudly and the auntie went upstairs holding Lil Lu. Old lady Shen was angrier when she saw nobody beside her.

“You let your daughter-in-law bully you! Sooner or later, she’ll step on your head.”

Shen Xiuwen helplessly went over and sat on the opposite sofa. “Mom, Yaoyao is kind. Don’t be prejudiced against her all the time.”

“S*it!” Old lady Shen spat. “If she hadn’t given birth to my grandson, you would have divorced her. You are an officer now. What is she proud of as a businesswoman?”

Old lady Shen didn’t know that her son would not have been able to get to this place without her daughter-in-law.

“Mom, I forgot to tell you that Lil Li left early in the morning.” Shen Xiuwen didn’t want to discuss this with her mother. He wanted to send her away as soon as possible.

Old lady Shen was stunned. “When did she leave? Where did she go?”

“When I went to work, she went to have fun with her friends and I sent her over.” Shen Xiuwen took a sip of his tea, pretending to sigh calmly.

“She plays around crazily every day. I told her to go to work and she didn’t agree.”

Old lady Shen was angry when she heard this. “That was because you didn’t arrange a good job for her! Either she had to go out laboriously or she only sat in the office in a daze.”

“Everyone works that way!” Shen Xiuwen was relieved to hear that the topic had been changed successfully.

“I think Tang Yao’s company is good. You ask her to arrange a manager position for Lil Li.” After that, old lady Shen shot him a glare. “Do not carelessly deal with us like last time. Arrange a powerful position for her like the manager.”

Shen Xiuwen repeatedly said yes. Anyway, Shen Li couldn’t come out now. After the old lady finished talking, she was ready to go.

“I’ll stay in Lil Li’s house for a few days and you remember to take her back to her hometown on National Day next month.”

Shen Xiuwen just wanted to deal with it well today. He said yes and asked the driver to send the old lady away. As a result, he almost took everything into consideration but forgot the police station.

They allowed Shen Li to call the old lady.

“Mom!” Shen Li cried on the phone.

Old lady Shen fainted instantly after hearing it. No one would have known if her auntie hadn’t come to cook at noon.

“You are unfilial! I don’t have a son like you!” When Shen Xiuwen arrived, the old lady was sitting in bed with a headscarf and crying.

“Mom…” Shen Xiuwen did not know what to say, so he had to stand there and listen to the old lady scold him.

“Tell me, was it your wife’s idea? Did she allow Lil Li to be caught?” The old lady still didn’t believe that this was her son’s idea and that it had to be her daughter-in-law’s idea.

Shen Xiuwen couldn’t allow her to misunderstand his wife. He quickly said, “Mom, Yaoyao didn’t know about it. It was my own decision.”

“It’s you!” The old lady covered her chest and looked at him with tears in her eyes. “That’s your sister. How can you send her to prison?”

In view of this terrible situation, if he didn’t make it clear, the old lady would not give up, so he simply told the story from beginning to end.

“Mom, that’s the case. If you want to save Lil Li, then your son’s official career would come to an end. I won’t say anything either. You have to make a decision today. You can take on this matter yourself!”

Old lady Shen never saw such a thing. After listening to it, she couldn’t keep calm for half a day.

“They… Are they so powerful?”

“Mom, I always said that you should not spoil her. Sooner or later, she would make trouble. But you didn’t agree with me. You can’t blame others now.”

Old lady Shen began to cry again. “What evil did I make? It’s my fault…”

“Don’t be sad. I bribed the people inside. Lil Li won’t be bullied.” Shen Xiuwen poured a glass of water for the old lady. “If I can get a promotion at the end of this year, I’ll get Lil Li out!”

Old lady Shen was reluctant, so she insisted on going to find Shen Xinglan to argue with him. Shen Xiuwen was afraid of troubles, so he sent his mother to the countryside to stay for a few days. He planned to take action after Shen Xinglan left Province G.

“Mom! Mom!” Yaya held a dolphin plushy for A Miao to see.

A Miao was packing her luggage and looked around. “Did Dad buy it for Yaya?”

Yaya said happily, “Hanhan! Hanhan!”

“…”

Yu Sihan, who saved Yaya and thought A Miao wouldn’t ask him to leave, had been hanging around with Yaya every day.

“Yaya, did you leave Brother Chu Bai alone again?” A Miao kissed her daughter’s face and said, “Brother Chu Bai is very pitiful when he plays alone.”

Yaya curled her lips. “Lil Bai, big fish!”

“What do you mean?” A Miao didn’t understand.

“She means that Chu Bai went to see the fish and didn’t play with her.” Shen Xinglan came in and picked Yaya up. “Why didn’t Yaya go to see the fish?”

Yaya shook her head hard. “No fur!”

“…” A Miao understood this sentence.

She didn’t like fish because they don’t have fur.

“Your daughter has a fur complex!” He Shishi rushed upstairs. “How lovely are the beluga whales and dolphins? She was actually frightened into crying.”

Shen Xinglan dragged the luggage packed by A Miao and held Yaya in his arms. He glanced at He Shishi as he passed by.

“How strange is your man’s look! What did he mean?” He Shishi was angry. “What’s he so proud of having a daughter for? He didn’t give birth to her!”

A Miao shot her a glare. “All right. Let’s go!”

The car had been parked at the entrance of the hotel. They were going back to City S today.

Everyone put their luggage away. Just as they were about to get into the car, an old lady suddenly rushed out.
