Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 236 - Chapter 236 Chapter 236 Pretending to be a Grandson_1

Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Pretending to be a Grandson_1 Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Pretending to be a Grandson_1 He Rongxi sighed, “I fear I’ve offended an old friend.” Now, thinking back, he had intended to pay Linong a visit but for some unaccountable reason, things had gone awry once he arrived in the countryside.

Moreover, the family involved was Linong’s in-laws.

Their presence having provoked another argument, both emotionally and morally, was inappropriate. He had intended to apologize to his old friend, yet he never expected Linong to harbor such deep resentment.

It was a merciless turn of events.

“Your friend? Is it possible to petition for leniency?”

“He’s a soft touch, so it should be possible.”

“In that case, leave it to me! The most critical thing now is to secure your early release.”

“What’s the earliest possible time?” He Rongxi knew that detention had a minimum and maximum duration. There are numerous variables at play, ranging from holding until the last day to releasing right now.

“You could’ve been released by now, but…” Lawyer Chen hesitated, “The other party is adamant, it’s simply inconceivable. Aren’t they afraid of being unable to bear the consequences in the end?”

A glint of confusion flashed across He Rongxi’s eyes. After pondering for a moment, he understood.

“Besides, the villagers of Xiao Wang Village are making a scene outside. Shall we take legal action or…”

Before he could finish, He Rongxi interjected, “Compensation, just offer them a bit more money. There’s no point in haggling over it.”

“Got it! I’ll handle it right away.”

“Okay!”

He Rongxi had some words he didn’t feel comfortable sharing with Lawyer Chen. Actually, he was rather panic-stricken. Even with his own lawyer present, the police still insisted on holding him. This meant that all his connections in the province were useless.

If this had happened previously, his contacts would have sorted it out without him having to lift a finger–a phone call would have been enough.

Now, however, he was in dire straits as nobody was stepping up to help him. They were all leaving him high and dry!

In Shengcheng, Gongxi residence.

With Gongxi Yunqi scheduled to return to school tomorrow, the Gongxi family was bustling all afternoon, packing various items. According to Chen Cuihua, they would need a sizable Dongfeng truck to transport all the things she wanted to send.

“Mom, I’ve told you it’s enough. Stop packing.” Gongxi Yunqi sat on the red velvet sofa, his body sinking into the soft and comfortable cushions.

He looked extremely content.

“How can that be acceptable? I rarely get the chance to give my sister a gift. I have to bring as many things as possible,” said Chen Cuihua. She was busily directing the house staff to move a brand-new TV set out to the car.

Gongxi Yunqi was dumbfounded and thought he had heard wrong. He needed a moment to process it.

“Ha ha ha…ha ha…” Sitting across from him reading a newspaper, a man couldn’t help but let out a delighted laugh. He was dressed in a black suit and a white shirt, looking elegant.

This was the richest man in the province, Gongxi Heng.

“Admit it, Yunqi! We, father and son, have fallen out of favor.”

A touch of shyness crossed the youthful, handsome face. Looking at Chen Cuihua, he asked nervously, “Are all these things you’re packing for Student Nan Fei?”

“Yes!” Chen Cuihua nodded without hesitation, completely overlooking the fact that her actions might hurt her son’s feelings. “Nan Fei has a big family so naturally, we need to prepare more stuff. You share the same class with her, after the school begins, make sure to pass these things to her, understood?”

“Ah? Cough…Okay.” Gongxi Yunqi stifled a cough, feigning nonchalance.
