Chapter 1051: 708: Doing Bad Things Can Be Addictive (Part 1, 8,000 Words)

Yin Shiqing committed a crime, and you risked your life with him. Yin Shiqing is the only descendant of the Jiang Family, Yin Junjie is his only heir from the Jiang Family..."Grandma..."

Yin Junjie still looked at her with hopeful eyes...

Bai Fengmao’s words hit her where it hurt.

Ever since Yin Shiqing found out he was from the Jiang family and not the Yin Family, his personality has become increasingly radical and extreme over the years.

Clearly not a member of the Yin Family, yet he grew up in it.

He constantly emphasized that the blood flowing in him was not from the Yin Family, yet deep down, he envied Yin Shixiu who carried the Yin Family blood.

He adopted the habits of the Yin Family members and likewise valued bloodline inheritance.

Shi Haiyan’s hand was trembling.

From start to finish, she was just a regular woman who married an ambitious man thanks to her remarkable family background.

From start to finish, she never quite matched Yin Shiqing’s talents and abilities.

It eventually dawned on her that her actions were not thoughtful at all, but rather... were making her husband’s situation increasingly perilous.

At that moment, the front entrance of the house opened again, and in came... Yin Bowen.

He looked hurried and shouted without even changing his shoes,

"Mom! Mom! What’s going on with Shi Xiaohai and Shi Xiaoyang, they—"

Yin Bowen hadn’t finished shouting when he finally saw Old Sir Bai from the Bai Family and his son Yin Junjie sitting in their living room.

Yin Junjie was in tears, and Shi Haiyan was also tearful...

Old Sir Bai looked stern; despite his advanced age, he carried an air of authority.

Seeing the scene, Yin Bowen immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Grandpa Bai... why are you here?"

"Isn’t that a bit of a rhetorical question?"

Bai Fengmao said leisurely.

Yin Bowen swallowed and looked at his mother; with outsiders present, he was at a loss whether to open his mouth or remain silent.

Saying nothing surely meant something was fishy, but speaking up was a risk for saying something thoughtless...

Seeing her son’s panicked expression and her grandson’s pathetic look, Shi Haiyan’s heart tightened.

Making a mistake might just be a moment of heated impulse, realizing that a mistake was made might come with a chill.

Throughout the years, she hadn’t learned a bit from her husband’s skills.

This small family and her own family alike, in over thirty years, none of them prospered without relying on her husband’s influence.

No matter how capable her brother Shi Shengde was, no matter how much money he earned, it largely depended on their father’s position and her husband’s influence.

She wasn’t an excellent wife, nor a good mother.

Yin Bowen, such a smart child, ended up spoiled by her indulgence.

Though he did things well, his character and conduct ultimately limited his life and blocked his future.

It’s because of her.

"Dad, try to persuade Grandma to let Shuangshuang and Huanghuang go."

"..."

When Yin Junjie spoke, Yin Bowen’s heart sank to the bottom, shocked,

"Mom, it’s really you!"

Shi Haiyan just felt her lips dry and quickly defended,

"I didn’t intend to do anything, why are you all looking at me like this! I just let Xiaohai and Xiaoyang take Shuangshuang and Huanghuang out for a trip, they’ll be back soon!"

As soon as Bai Fengmao heard Shi Haiyan’s words, he immediately took over the conversation,

"I believe what Mrs. Yin says, generally Shuangshuang and Huanghuang are not afraid of strangers, but they are my treasures. I ask that Mrs. Yin to please call your two nephews and have them bring Shuangshuang and Huanghuang back."

"Otherwise, if things get out of hand, even I will find it hard to help you sort it out."

Upon hearing Bai Fengmao’s words, Yin Bowen knew the old man wasn’t trying to take advantage.

If it were his uncle saying these words, Yin Bowen might not feel very assured, but given Bai Fengmao’s high reputation, he was capable of backing up his words.

"Mom, hurry and call your two cousins. Have them bring Shuangshuang and Huanghuang back!"

Shi Haiyan closed her eyes...

With a reddened nose, she took out her phone, and on the screen, there were several missed calls from Shi Xiaohai. She shakily redialed Shi Xiaohai’s number. When the call connected, Shi Haiyan just faintly said,

"Stop playing, bring those twin siblings home."

"Aunt... are you serious?"

"Yes, bring them to my house, I’m here waiting with their great-grandfather."

"Alright, alright!"

A decisive answer came from Shi Xiaohai on the other end.

Shi Haiyan knew, even though she didn’t use the word "kidnap" with those two kids, they likely understood...
