Chapter 1843: Chapter 1844: Let Them See Who’s Truly Unworthy
She glanced at Qin Jun, eyes filled with murderous intent, “You want to watch your sister get bullied for nothing?”
Qin Jun’s fervor was ignited, and he clenched his fist, swearing, “How could I possibly watch Xixi get bullied for nothing? I’m just concerned about…”
He left his sentence unfinished, but Jiang Chenyue understood him, knowing what he wanted to say even if he didn’t voice it.
Maintaining a dignified face, her gaze steady, she said lightly, “There’s nothing to be concerned about. I don’t dare tell your sister about her origins because I’ve let her down too much, and I have no face to have her recognize me as her mother. It’s not to let others bully her while we remain silent! They’ve already climbed over our heads and started acting wild, if we don’t fight back, they’ll really think we’re easy to bully.”
“I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time!” Qin Jun couldn’t suppress the excitement in his voice.
Jiang Chenyue spoke softly, “…I’ve heard too much about how she’s unworthy, how she’s climbing up, and not even qualified to carry their shoes. I want those people to know who’s truly unworthy!”
…
Two days later, the long-absent Sir Shen and Old Madam returned to Capital City, and as Qin Jun predicted, they moved the originally scheduled honor banquet from a week later to today.
Sir Shen’s family had many students, and over the years, many of them had become successful in various fields, so quite a few elites were present.
The Huarong Hotel was filled with distinguished guests.
Sir Shen, dressed in a modified Chinese-style Zhongshan suit, attended in a wheelchair, attracting many former students who greeted him and caught up.
Old Madam Shen attended with Madame Shen, primarily responsible for entertaining the female guests.
After seeing off a group of guests who came to greet them, Madame Shen looked anxiously toward the entrance and leaned close to Old Madam’s ear, lowering her voice, “Mom, why hasn’t the Lin Family arrived yet? Will Rong Yan show up? If she doesn’t, what will happen to Siyuan?”
Old Madam Shen, to complement her husband’s attire, also wore a modified Chinese cheongsam. Her hair, white with age, was neatly styled, and though her eyes and brows bore the wrinkles of years, her skin was full and glowing, and she was full of energy.
Hearing Madame Shen’s anxious inquiry, she maintained a dignified smile, her sharp eyes sweeping over the anxious person, lowering her voice, “What’s your hurry? Your father invited Lin Wei, and there’s no way Lin Wei won’t come. Their friendship of half a lifetime won’t break just like that. By then Lin Teng and Su Yijiu will also come, so don’t show impatience in front of them. Keep your words to yourself and let your father do the talking.”
Madame Shen, reprimanded, dropped her head, meekly saying, “I know… It’s already the fifth day, and Siyuan is still being held at the police station. I don’t even know if she’s eaten anything in there, or if it’s still the same as before where she didn’t touch a grain of rice. She’s been frail since childhood, she can’t bear this kind of ordeal, I’m afraid she…”
“Hmph!” Old Madam Shen interrupted her with a cold laugh, “What are you afraid of, afraid she’ll starve to death in the police station?”
“…I’m just worried.”
Old Madam Shen said with disdain, “Just put your mind at ease, your father and I are still alive, and the police station personnel wouldn’t dare disrespect our family to such an extent. Besides, they aren’t refusing to feed Siyuan, it’s her own pickiness, looking down on what they’ve sent and refusing to eat. Does she think the police station is some kind of restaurant? Even in the police station, she still wants to be choosy about the food’s taste.”
Madame Shen defended her daughter indifferently, “It’s possible the food really is just that bad, Siyuan’s never had to suffer, not being able to eat it is normal.”
