Chapter 1900: The Yun Family Was Truly Shameless!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As if noticing Old Master Yun’s hesitation, Xiao Jinglin frowned, and his face darkened. The selfishness and shamelessness of the Yun family exceeded his imagination.
If they really did think for Yun Xi’s sake, then at this time, what they should have thought about the most was how to protect her from the attacks of the outside world. It was utterly futile to reverse the judgment in Yun Yuanfeng’s matter. Right now, the only thing they had to do was consider Yun Xi’s future, not the gains and losses of the Yun family and Yun Yuanfeng.
Raising his head, Xiao Jinglin looked at Old Master Yun and continued, “I came here today because I wish to resolve this matter properly. Since Yun Yuanfeng’s matter is already set in stone, what I need to do now is to prevent Yun Xi from being implicated, so I hope to announce Yun Xi’s identity and prevent her from being dragged down. As a father, no matter how difficult it is, everything I do is for my daughter’s sake. I hope you can understand.”
“I can understand, but I can’t bear for this child to leave us…”
Old Master Yun knew why Xiao Jinglin was here today. Since he couldn’t keep Yun Xi in the family and Xiao Jinglin’s identity was exceptional, the only thing he could think of was to settle Yun Yuanfeng’s matter before she left the Yun family.
“You’ve raised Yun Xi for so many years. To repay you for raising her, I can help you resolve Yun Yuanfeng’s matter. As long as she can return to my side, I will do everything within my power! I’ve inquired from the higher-ups, but I’m afraid that Yun Yuanfeng’s crimes aren’t small matters that can be overlooked. What I can promise you is to protect his life so that he won’t have to suffer the death sentence. Other than that, there’s nothing else I can do! After all, this involves a life. There is hope while he is alive, but now that he’s been sentenced for committing several crimes, he won’t be able to evade a jail sentence.”
Yun Qingfeng’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that. But then, he frowned and asked, “Mr. Xiao, are you saying that you will repay your gratitude to us for raising Yun Xi with my brother’s life?”
Xiao Jinglin nodded and looked at Yun Qingfeng calmly with a gentlemanly and polite smile.
Didn’t the Yun family insist that this favor must be exchanged for something of equivalent value?
Before the old master could speak, Yun Qingfeng seemed to be considering something. He reacted quickly and waved his hand to reject the suggestion.
“No, no way! Brother has already committed a crime. Even if we do our best to save him, we will only be able to preserve his life. The outcome will still be a jail sentence. If he goes to jail, the rest of his life will be ruined!”
To Yun Qingfeng, using such a huge favor in exchange for Yun Yuanfeng’s life was not worth it.
Who was Xiao Jinglin? With his status, once the favor was settled, it wouldn’t be easy to get close to him again. Yun Qingfeng would rather use this favor in exchange for his future business deals!
After all, not only could his Teng Yun Company benefit endlessly from Xiao Jinglin, but the Yun family could enjoy even more benefits!
However, if they used this favor to save Yun Yuanfeng, his company and the Yun family would not get anything. So, to exchange such a huge favor for such a small thing, this deal was really not worth it!
Xiao Jinglin’s suggestion was exactly what Yun Xi had planned in her heart, but once Yun Qingfeng opened his mouth, Yun Xi was immediately disgusted by his selfish and ugly side!
She should have guessed that the people of the Yun family were not just brazen but truly shameless!
They would rather let Yun Yuanfeng die in the hope of obtaining more benefits from her biological father than to keep their family member alive!
It was laughable that Yun Yuanfeng’s life was not even comparable to material benefits. It was truly ridiculous!
It was precisely because Xiao Jinglin saw through Yun Qingfeng and Old Master Yun’s intentions that he made such a suggestion. If it were someone else, he wouldn’t bargain with them like this.
After all, in his heart, Yun Xi, his only daughter, was priceless!
