Chapter 144 Moral Blackmail
Chapter 144 Moral Blackmail
"This person I'm talking about is both far away and close at hand. Look, your Huaiyu is already 27 years old and hasn't found a partner yet? Isn't this a perfect match for a closer relationship?"
Old Madam Gu looked at the stairs where Yun Jiuxi disappeared, and then glanced at her eldest grandson who was chatting with his cousin Gu Jingyu, and thought it was a good idea.
When Aunt Gu heard that she wanted to help her son get together with Yun Jiuxi, and that her mother-in-law actually looked a little tempted, she became a little unhappy.
Others may not know, but doesn't her mother-in-law know? Yun Jiuxi was a woman whose marriage had been broken off. Even if she was really capable and could make money, so what? How could such a woman whose marriage had been broken off be worthy of her outstanding son?
No, she had to have a good talk with her mother-in-law after dinner. She must not let her son marry a divorced woman. How could she go out and see people in the future?
Gu Qingyun and his sister sat on the side, playing with their phones and listening to their elders chatting.
Suddenly, my aunt heard that the elders wanted to pair up her cousin and sister, and she didn't seem very happy.
She was just about to explain that her sister already had a boyfriend and didn't need them to introduce her.
Just at this moment the doorbell rang suddenly. The two could only shut up for the time being. Gu Xingchen got up to open the door.
When I opened the door, I saw a middle-aged woman in her 30s holding two boys, one big and one small, who looked less than 10 years old.
Gu Xingchen looked at the middle-aged woman in confusion, confirming that he didn't know her at all.
"Who are you looking for?"
The woman smiled and asked, "Excuse me, is this Yun Jiuxi, Miss Yun's home? I'm her friend, I have something to ask her, is she home?"
Gu Xingchen opened the door, welcomed the mother and her two children in, and said to her, "Sit down first. I'll go call her."
The middle-aged woman didn't expect that there were so many people in the house. She was a little timid at first, but when she thought about what was going to happen next, she became more confident.
Yun Jiuxi was woken up by Gu Xingchen when he was half asleep.
"Xingchen, can we eat so soon?"
Gu Xingchen: "Sister, you have to wait for dinner. There is a woman downstairs with two children looking for you. She said she is your friend."
Yun Jiuxi put on a pajama jacket and followed Gu Xingchen downstairs. While going downstairs, she was thinking about which friend of hers had two children.
When the two were about to go downstairs, the moment Yun Jiuxi and the middle-aged woman's eyes met, the middle-aged woman took the two children and knelt down in front of her.
This woman is none other than Senior Zhang’s wife, Zhang Qifeng, and their sons.
"Ms. Yun, please save Qifeng. Only you can save him. Please."
"Aunt Yun, please save my dad. If you don't save my dad, he will go to jail. Please."
The sudden kneeling of the mother and her two children scared the others, and they all looked at Yun Jiuxi and the middle-aged woman in confusion.
Yun Jiuxi looked at the mother and her two children and sighed, "Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to help. The police have found solid evidence on the senior's side."
The middle-aged woman's eyes were red. She knelt down at her feet, tugged at Yun Jiuxi's trouser legs and said pitifully: "Jiuxi, I know you are a good person. As long as you can forgive Qifeng, don't hold him responsible and withdraw the lawsuit, it will be fine.
He had no choice but to do this, please forgive him.
The kids are so young, they can't have a dad in jail.
Jiuxi, even if I beg you, our family will work like slaves to repay your kindness in the next life.
Please, for the sake of the two children, let their father go, please."
As he said this, he started to kowtow to the ground again. The "bang bang bang" sounds were very loud, and soon his forehead became red and swollen.
Seeing this, the others began to persuade him, "What are you doing? If you have anything to say, get up first."
"Yeah, you'll only scare the kids. Get up."
Aunt Gu stepped forward and helped the middle-aged woman up, and the others also pulled the children up.
Madam Gu looked at the pitiful mother and her two children and asked Yun Jiuxi, "Jiuxi, what is going on?"
Yun Jiuxi told everyone everything the middle-aged woman's husband had done, and the relatives looked at the mother and her two sons in disbelief.
A relative said, "Wouldn't this be considered treason in the past? How can you have the nerve to come here and ask for Jiuxi's forgiveness?"
Another relative said: “I think this mother and her two children are quite pitiful.
If forgiving them would save her husband from going to jail, then it would be okay to forgive them once.
After all, he is a senior from the same school."
And the Holy Father said, "Jiuxi, if he goes to jail, what will happen to the orphans and widows? The two children are still so young. I heard that if the parents have a criminal record, it will affect the children's future. Jiuxi, you can't ruin the lives of these two children."
The middle-aged woman was emboldened when she saw someone speaking for her. She cried, "Jiuxi, as long as you can let Qifeng go, I will give you as much money as you want. Please let him go for the sake of the fact that you are fellow disciples."
Yun Jiuxi didn't say anything, and Gu Qingyun and his sister couldn't sit still anymore.
Gu Qingyun: "Uncle, Grandpa, you are so easy to say. This is plagiarizing other people's medical technology. Do you know the status of my sister's acupuncture pen in Luocheng? Have you forgotten the purpose of coming to Luocheng?"
After hearing what she said, the group of people looked at Yun Jiuxi's unhappy expression and dared not continue to speak for the mother and her two children.
Gu Xingchen also spoke up: "Sister-in-law, since your husband knowingly committed the crime, he deserves to be arrested now. You should not bring the children here to morally blackmail my sister now."
The middle-aged woman pushed away the person who was supporting her and said, "Jiuxi, your senior is really just temporarily obsessed. I have asked a lawyer. As long as we are willing to pay compensation and you withdraw the lawsuit, he won't have to go to jail."
Yun Jiuxi suddenly laughed after hearing her words: "Compensation? What are you going to give me as compensation? The money Zhang Qifeng earned from stealing the acupuncture pen from our Li's Chinese Medicine Clinic?"
As soon as Yun Jiuxi said this, the middle-aged woman's face turned visibly paler.
Yun Jiuxi looked at her and continued, “It’s not that I didn’t give him a chance, but he didn’t seize it.
Also, when your husband was making money from selling acupuncture pens, why didn't you dissuade him from doing anything illegal and let him set a good example for the children? Don't tell me you didn't know that."
The middle-aged woman was about to follow her and say that she didn't know what her husband had done before, but she heard Yun Jiuyouxi continue.
