…

He would do anything as long as she could return to his side!

However, when it came to the Yun family, especially their attitude toward Yun Xi and their ugly faces today, he had no choice but to bargain. It was because none of them were worth giving up everything!

“Third Uncle, what do you mean by that? Yun Yuanfeng is your elder brother, after all. He is my adoptive father in name. Since Mr. Xiao is my biological father, it is natural for him to repay my grandfather’s kindness and help my adoptive father escape, right?”

“That’s true, but with your father’s character, he would rather die than go to jail!”

“Who would want to choose death instead of staying alive?! You’re not him, don’t make decisions for him!”

Speaking up to this point, Yun Xi turned to look at the old master sitting on the main seat. “Of course, this matter still depends on Grandfather’s opinion. After all, all these years, Grandfather spent money to raise me. Right now, Mr. Xiao is asking for Grandfather’s opinion. If a person’s life is gone, nothing will be left. Do you want to make a decision for Grandfather and let him see his child die before him?! If Yun Yuanfeng finds out that his biological younger brother abandoned him and chose his death, he will be very sad!”

Yun Xi’s words didn’t sound light or accusing, and she even seemed to reason it well. However, every word she said pointed toward Yun Qingfeng’s cold-blooded heartlessness. In front of the old master, it was the same as sending him to the grill to be roasted.

“Yun Xi, what you said isn’t right. I didn’t mean that I just…”

Everyone present understood what he meant, let alone Old Master Yun. He knew precisely what Yun Qingfeng was planning.

But he could not use his eldest son’s life to exchange for his third son’s future!

In particular, Yun Xi’s words ‘let him see his child die before him’ had directly pierced Old Master Yun’s heart. Both of them were his sons, and it pained him to make a choice that affected his son’s life. He couldn’t possibly exchange his biological son’s life for something else!

Furthermore, if they abandoned Yun Yuanfeng and refused to save him in exchange for the Yun family’s wealth and status, then everyone in the entire military region residences would know that they were heartless, and they would be scolded mercilessly. So how could they possibly continue to live here?!

Before Yun Qingfeng could finish speaking, Old Master Yun interrupted him, “Enough! Stop talking!”

When the Old Master spoke, no one else said a word. Instead, they seemed to be waiting for him to make his final decision.

Xiao Jinglin raised his eyebrows and glanced at the indignant Yun Qingfeng. Then, he looked at Old Master Yun without changing his expression and didn’t rush him to make a decision.

This moment of suffering was the price they paid for their greed and the price they paid for sending their child away all those years ago.

At that moment, in the eyes of the Yun family, they were probably regretting sending Yun Xi to the countryside. If Yun Xi had grown up in the Yun family, they could ask Xiao Jinglin for whatever he wanted, and Xiao Jinglin would satisfy them. 1

However, it just so happened that this girl grew up in the countryside. The Yun family had merely paid for the child’s living expenses from the Old Master’s pockets, and it was Liang Weimin who raised the child. The real hero was Liang Weimin, not the Yun family.

It was enough for Xiao Jinglin to offer Yun Yuanfeng’s life in exchange for this favor. If they shamelessly asked for more benefits, they would only offend Xiao Jinglin.

Since they had never treated his daughter well, why would they expect him to treat them well?

Furthermore, this esteemed guest was someone they could not afford to offend. If things went wrong, not only would the matter of Yun Yuanfeng not be resolved, but they might also suffer a calamity.

“Yuanfeng is Yun Xi’s adoptive father, so it’s understandable that Mr. Xiao save his life for his daughter. However, since Yun Xi has given me the power to decide, I still hope to save Yuanfeng’s life no matter what!”
