Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Injustice

"Yinyin, is your classmate happy now?" An Ying asked softly.

Hearing Ms. An’s words, An Yin was a bit stunned, "What does my earlier question have to do with whether my classmate is happy?" An Yin truly didn’t understand.

"If your classmate is immersed in her love, why interfere with someone else’s happiness? Besides, once they’ve been together long enough, those secrets that can’t see the light will show their flaws sooner or later." An Ying’s voice was very gentle.

"So should I just... let my classmate be kept in the dark?" An Yin expressed indignantly.

"Yinyin, when you tell someone the truth, they might even prefer to be kept in the dark."

After saying this, An Ying’s voice carried a hint of a sigh.

The simple An Yin didn’t notice it, her mind fully occupied by the matter concerning Jiang Keke.

"But if I don’t say it, I’ll feel uneasy in my conscience." An Yin couldn’t hold things back.

"You’re not the one who did something wrong!" An Ying reminded her naive daughter.

An Yin couldn’t help but lament, "It’s so hard!" The mere thought of seeing Jiang Keke in class the next day made An Yin feel dizzy.

"Be smart!" An Ying left behind an ambiguous remark.

An Yin continued to mutter a few more complaints until Ms. An’s nagging voice came again, "Did you buy the down jacket?"

An Yin, "Mom, I’m going to the cafeteria for dinner now, bye!"

With that, she quickly hung up the phone.

That night, An Yin lay in bed, pondering all night, ultimately deciding to follow Ms. An’s advice and not tell Jiang Keke about Bao Cheng.

However, Bao Cheng’s shameless behavior genuinely enraged her.

An Yin suddenly thought of someone: Bao Shaojin!

Bao Cheng was quite afraid of Bao Shaojin, as could be seen from his expression when he mentioned "Cousin" in normal times.

Why not reveal this matter to Bao Shaojin and let him, as the cousin, give Bao Cheng a little knock?

As soon as this thought emerged, An Yin shuddered. What kind of person was Bao Shaojin, how could he possibly rebuke his cousin because of her few words, she thought too highly of herself!

She quickly suppressed this idea!

***

Bao Mansion.

The sky was gradually darkening, and the indoor lighting was brilliantly bright, making every corner and shadow inside the house incredibly clear.

At this moment in the Bao Family, led by Housekeeper Liu, the servants were nervously waiting at the door of the old madam’s bedroom, the tightly closed bedroom door indicating that something important was being discussed about the Bao Family inside!

Inside the bedroom.

A couple stood before the old madam’s bed.

The man, dressed in a crisp suit, had a slightly overweight build, while the woman beside him was lavishly adorned, radiating luxury and nobility.

Both lowered their heads, standing respectfully not too far away, occasionally stealing glances at the old lady on the bed. When they realized she was glaring angrily in their direction, they wished their heads could drop to the floor.

"Old Third!" the old madam spoke in a cold tone devoid of warmth, unreasonably making one feel anxious.

The man referred to as Old Third swallowed nervously, then weakly replied, "Mom!"

"The upper beam is crooked, so the lower beam is awry," the old madam said with a smile. Though she was addressing Old Third, it felt like there was more to her words.

Old Third felt a tug on his sleeve. Turning his head, he saw his wife’s glance, prompting him to stand up straight. As per their earlier discussion, he said cautiously, "Mom, it’s all because of that brat Ah Cheng, why drag me into it?"

The old madam’s reference to "the upper beam is crooked, so the lower beam is awry" caused beads of sweat to form on Old Third’s forehead, making him too afraid to look at his wife’s expression. Those romantic affairs were already things of the past!

The old madam’s sharp gaze silenced Old Third.

The next moment, there was a sigh from the old lady, "The child... is gone?"

In contrast to the old lady’s sorrowful tone, Old Third spoke as if discussing a company project, "Ah Cheng took some money from me, and the woman got rid of the child after accepting it."

"Such sin, such sin..." The old lady shook her head repeatedly, wailing.

The old lady lowered her head; she had been focusing on recuperating recently, and now, because of Bao Cheng’s situation, she seemed to have aged several years overnight, as if her energy had been drained.

Old Third rushed forward, but before his hands could touch the old lady’s shoulders, a voice scolded from her lips, "Step back!"

Old Third froze, retreating to where he was, nervously watching his mother.

"Mom, the matter has been settled, so don’t be upset. It’s not worth getting ill over nothing, the Bao Family still needs you to maintain justice..."

After he said this, the room went silent! Old Third quickly realized what he had said, raising his head in shock to see the old lady’s reaction. However, the old lady kept her head down, leaving him unable to discern her thoughts.

Ordinarily, the old madam despised internal strife within the Bao Family the most. The words he said earlier, suggesting she maintain justice, clearly indicated he felt treated unfairly within the Bao Family. All because he accidentally blurted out his true feelings.

When the old lady entrusted the Bao Family to the eldest nephew, Bao Shaojin, Old Third had been suppressing his dissatisfaction. He even fantasized that as long as the old madam was alive, there was still a possibility for a change in leadership. That’s why, during the period of her illness, he incited his son to accompany her, and indeed, his son managed to amuse her. Old Third never expected his troublesome son would get someone pregnant halfway through. Although the situation was resolved, the old lady eventually found out...

As to how the old lady came to know about this, Old Third squinted, a dark glint flashing in his eyes as he thought of someone: the ruthless eldest nephew! With power and influence, and as the heir of the Bao Family, wanting to quickly uncover Bao Cheng’s misdeeds was effortless! Thinking of this, a sinister expression appeared on Old Third’s fleshy face, as he gnashed his teeth in his own thoughts.

Ever since the eldest nephew took over the Bao Family, Old Third has had to bow down, always overshadowed by the other party, causing his long-held grievances to boil over in an instant, despite being the elder!

The old lady did not respond to her son’s previous words, instead speaking, "After you return, have the driver bring Ah Cheng over, and let him stay by my side these days."

"Alright, Mom!" Upon hearing the old lady’s words, Old Third’s expression changed with delight, his eyebrows showing too much eagerness, and even the words he uttered carried a few hints of excitement.
