Chapter 1017 - 692: Beasts May Enter, But Yin Shiqing Cannot!
Bai Fengmao didn’t let Yin Shaohui finish his words, he directly interrupted him and said sternly,"But I think, Brother Yin and Sister Zhou, your faces are just too precious."
Yin Shaohui’s eyebrows slightly moved; Bai Fengmao’s words clearly carried a tone of irony. He hastily responded,
"What does Brother Bai mean by this?"
"I mean... you two care way too much about saving face! You don’t even care about right or wrong anymore!"
Bai Fengmao’s stern voice startled everyone at the table significantly.
Yin Shaohui’s face instantly turned pale.
Bai Fengmao stood up, leaned on his cane, and pointed it directly at Yin Shiqing, who was still standing,
"If I had a son like this, there would be a big sign posted outside the Yin Family’s gate! Animals can enter, but Yin Shiqing cannot!"
"..."
"..."
Sounds of people gasping echoed, and many people stared wide-eyed in shock at Bai Fengmao.
Bai Fengmao’s words were loud enough for both those inside and outside the hall to hear clearly.
Animals can enter, but Yin Shiqing cannot!
These nine words degraded Yin Shiqing, who always considered himself an impressive person, to less than an animal!
Yet...
No one present dared to argue with the person speaking these words.
Bai Fengmao, one of the elder statesmen, a revered figure, pointed at a current leader-level official and said such words...
One can only imagine what kind of impact it would have.
Shi Haiyan’s face turned completely pale, and as for Yin Shiqing, who was still standing?
His face darkened, his features remained still, and the previously feigned remorse and guilt along with the faint smile on his face completely vanished!
Yin Shiqing and Shi Haiyan came to the housewarming banquet truly seeking reconciliation, even if only superficially.
The Rong Family’s refusal to see them and severed ties.
This had made Yin Shiqing uneasy for quite some time.
Even though Yin Shiqing had contact with Rong Si and Rong Jing, all interactions did not touch legal issues; Rong Si wouldn’t be able to use Yin Shiqing against anything.
However...
The Rong Family had committed crimes, and the former Rong Group often engaged in shady, opaque trade.
Should public authorities make it a point, the inspection department could make a big deal out of it.
With Rong Si’s son imprisoned and the original Rong Group being taken over, his volatile disposition meant that if they revealed anything to the police or the inspection department...
Yin Shiqing felt trouble would come his way.
This Friday, which is the day after tomorrow, the higher-ups are sending an inspection team to conduct a comprehensive assessment and review of Yin Shiqing.
As long as he passes this hurdle, the vacant position left by the fallen big shots would be his for the taking.
This is incredibly important, and Yin Shiqing absolutely didn’t want any hiccups at this critical moment.
If he can climb one more rung up, his official career still has a clear path ahead.
But the opportunity comes with risks, especially since his nemesis Yin Shixiu has returned alive.
This return, every gesture and move, is earth-shattering!
Wu Rong’s fall, the retrial and re-evaluation of the wrong judgments fifteen years ago, Rong Family’s eldest son Rong Jing’s imprisonment, the dissolution of the Rong Group.
Step by step...
It’s false to say Yin Shiqing isn’t afraid at all.
Perhaps because everyone fears Yin Shixiu too much.
That’s why Shi Shengde and Wu Rong wanted to put him to death.
That’s why when news of Yin Shixiu’s death came out, he was elated!
He relentlessly pressured the Yin Family elders to hand over the Family Head position on Yin Shixiu’s funeral day, attempting to witness this family’s disgrace.
Dreams that once made him smile in sleep, now became nightmares keeping them awake at night.
After some restless days.
Yin Shiqing figured it out...
With Yin Shixiu’s return, they must maintain the facade as when Yin Shixiu was alive, even if just on the surface.
The torn face needs mending again.
Since the Rong Family has already severed ties with him, it conveniently serves as proof.
Everything was because the Rong Family instigated him behind the scenes, trying to sow discord between him and his family.
Yin Shaohui and Zhou Mengqin, having raised him for so many years, treated him as their own son, still left room for negotiation.
No matter how much criticism and doubt he must endure, he must present a humble demeanor to seek reconciliation.
Apologize, feel guilty...
Just to soften the elders’ hearts for a moment, to make Yin Shixiu hesitate for a moment...
