Chapter 265: Chapter 265 Mother and Child Begging for Mercy_1

Under the combined efforts of mother and daughter, they quickly prepared a generous meal of five dishes and a soup.

Shen Tianxing saw Ning Ziyi eating fruit and watching TV on the side and called out to him, "Ziyi, come and eat."

"Ai, I’ll be right there."

Ning Ziyi hurriedly turned off the TV but still clung to the unfinished, crisp and sweet jujube in his hand.

It wasn’t until he got to the dining table that Ning Ziyi, with a face full of emotion, said to Shen Tianxing, "Sis, how come the fruit at your house is so delicious? The fruit you brought us last time was also incredibly good, and so is today’s. It’s completely different from what they sell outside."

Shen Tianxing reached out and tousled his hair, laughing softly, "If it’s delicious, eat more. When you go back, take some more home with you."

Ning Ziyi blushed, "How could I do that?"

Seeing his embarrassed look, Shen Tianxing couldn’t help laughing, "I’m your real sister. Why be polite with your real sister? It’s just a few pieces of fruit; do you think I wouldn’t want to give them to you and mom to eat?"

Ning Ziyi grinned foolishly, his eyes looking at Shen Tianxing filled with adoration.

Such a good sister, she’s a true sister indeed!

Afterward, Ning Ziyi caught sight of the garlic vermicelli scallops and spicy fried lobster on the table and immediately started drooling, "Wow, sis, did you really buy lobster and scallops? You know I love these two dishes?"

Shen Tianxing smiled at him, "Not just you, your sister loves them too."

Ning Ziyi laughed heartily, "Really? Hahaha, it turns out we’re truly siblings, even our tastes in food are the same! Right, mom must love these dishes too. We must take after mom, right? Mom..."

Weng Lanlan’s smiling face stiffened for a moment, then she nodded, "Yes, mom likes them too."

Shen Tianxing didn’t want to delve into what Weng Lanlan’s brief stiff expression meant. Since she had disguised it, it meant she didn’t want them to know, didn’t want them to be unhappy.

And indeed, some things are better not known.

Ning Ziyi was young, with simple thoughts. Faced with delicious food, all he could do was be happy and eager to dig in, without thinking about anything else.

As the family of three sat down and Shen Tianxing picked up her chopsticks to signal the start of the meal, Ning Ziyi helped himself to a piece of white lobster meat and put it into his mouth.

After he finished that bite of lobster meat, his voice, full of amazement, rang out, "My gosh! Sis, how come everything in your house is especially delicious? This lobster meat is much, much better than what we’ve had before. It’s delicious, I want more..."

Ning Ziyi’s eyes sparkled with amazement, his face showing the excitement of a foodie encountering top-tier delicacies.

Having spoken, he paid no heed to how Shen Tianxing would respond, grabbed another piece of lobster meat, and started eating intently.

Shen Tianxing was amused by his ravenous eating.

She saw Weng Lanlan also looking affectionately at Ning Ziyi, and Shen Tianxing picked up a piece of lobster meat for her, smiling and saying, "Mom, you should try this lobster meat, it’s really delicious. You can’t get such fresh and nourishing big lobster outside."

Weng Lanlan smiled and nodded, "Okay, I’ll try it. You eat too, don’t just take care of us mother and daughter."

Shen Tianxing smiled, "All right, I’ll eat too."

Once the family of three had their fill, Shen Tianxing brewed a pot of Spiritual Tea for them to drink.

But no matter how good the tea, it couldn’t obscure the fact that Weng Lanlan was preoccupied, drinking it as if chewing peonies, unable to savor the taste.

Shen Tianxing, seeing her hesitant and fearful manner, couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, wondering how long she would continue like this before she’d speak her mind.

Shen Tianxing decided to be direct, "Mom, do you have something you want to tell me? If you have something to say, just say it. If I can do it, I will; if I can’t, I’ll tell you straight. And you, don’t blame me, okay?"

Hearing Shen Tianxing say this, Weng Lanlan hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes, of course."

Then, she sighed deeply, her face filled with melancholy as she said to Shen Tianxing, "The other day, Ziyi and I went to the prison to see your father..."

As soon as Weng Lanlan saw Shen Tianxing’s expression darken in an instant, she quickly corrected herself, "Oh, no, I mean Ziyi’s dad, Ziyi’s dad..."

Weng Lanlan stole another glance at Shen Tianxing and seeing that her expression was less dark, she continued carefully, "Ziyi’s dad begged me to plead with you, to see if there’s any way you could get him out?"

Shen Tianxing scoffed lightly, "Mom, do you think that’s possible? They did so many heinous deeds, killing and maiming people without a second thought. They ended up like this because they brought it upon themselves. Such people should stay in jail and undergo reformation. I will absolutely not help with this!"

Seeing Shen Tianxing’s angry face, Weng Lanlan hastily said to her, "I’m sorry! Xiaoxing, don’t be angry. I am just the messenger, after all. We’ve been married for many years, and he is Ziyi’s dad. He treated us, mother and son, not too badly in the past. Now that he’s come begging to us, if we don’t even pass on his message, we’d feel guilty. But after passing the message, whether you want to help is your right. I have no opinions and certainly won’t blame you. Just don’t blame us for being meddlesome."

Ning Ziyi also added, "Sister, don’t be mad at mom. She was afraid to say anything, but I told mom that dad is too pitiful. We at least should tell you, sister. Whether you help or not, we will have done right by dad, and we can be at peace with ourselves. Sister, was I wrong to do this?"

Shen Tianxing looked at Ning Ziyi’s tentative face and shook her head, sighing lightly, "Since you’ve been so honest with me, I’ll tell you the truth too. What you’re doing is not wrong, but have you considered that after you find your answer from me, you’ll feel at peace, but if you relay this to your dad, won’t he direct all his resentment towards me, blaming me for not wanting to help him?"

Ning Ziyi and Weng Lanlan instantly fell silent.

They had both thought of this, knowing that doing so would attract resentment towards Shen Tianxing, but they could think of no better solution.

Feeling guilty and self-reproachful from Shen Tianxing’s words, Weng Lanlan’s tears began to fall instantly, "I’m sorry! Xiaoxing, we were wrong. I’ll go back and tell him that we can’t help. If he wants to hate, let him hate me!"

Seeing his mother cry, Ning Ziyi’s eyes also reddened, "Sister, I’m sorry! It’s all my fault. I was the one who encouraged mom to ask you for help. If there’s anyone to blame, blame me!"
