Chapter 794: Alive Or Dead, It Doesn’t Concern Me
Yun Zheng could care less that there were others present in the room. Once he started speaking, he blurted the head and tail of the matter. Until the end, he was already chuckling wryly with an extremely helpless grimace.
If he could help it, he would not be seeking Qin Yirou and others when they were in the middle of a joyous gathering.
Knowing that Yun Zheng’s family was innocent, Yun Jian was also aware that all these happened because of her birth father by title, Yun Gang. From what she could remember and rummage from the original owner’s memory, her uncle, Yun Zheng, had always been kind to their family.
Back when Qin Yirou was the sole support of their household’s economy and took care of Yun Jian and Yun Yi alone, Yun Zheng would share some fish from his family with them. It was not an extravagant gift but the gesture meant a lot.
It was unlike Yun Gang who did not care about his family.
“Xiao Jian, I’m really out of ideas. That’s why I come to beg you. Please, save Yaya. She’s my life and she’s still so young…” Seeing that Yun Jian kept quiet for so long, Yun Zheng thought that she was reluctant to help.
As the man spoke, he was shaking. Slowly, he got onto his knees facing Yun Jian.
It was an old saying that one did not simply kneel down for others. However, Yun Zheng was truly at his wit’s end. Due to Yun Gang’s fault, it was soon the deadline given by those creditors.
Yun Zheng was only a farmer. How could he and his family possibly come up with so much money? Those people asked for 500 thousand yuan in one swift go! This was almost like asking for his life!
Yet, Yun Zheng would rather die than to see his daughter being sold into prostitution.
Seeing that Yun Zheng was going to kneel down in front of her daughter, Qin Yirou ultimately hurried to him and held him back from doing so.
“Brother, what are you doing?” Qin Yirou chided as she pulled Yun Zheng who wanted to get on his knees to plead Yun Jian up.
Although Qin Yirou had divorced Yun Gang, Yun Zheng had extended his help back when things were the hardest for her. Qin Yirou would remember his kindness her whole life, so she had always seen the man as her elder brother.
Of course, she did not have it in her heart to see the man kneeling down to Yun Jian.
“That abhorrent animal. I thought he’s gotten better but he went gambling again!” Qin Yirou closed her eyes. She no longer had romantic feelings for Yun Gang but they had been husband and wife for decades after all; it was impossible for her to be completely unfeeling.
In spite of it, it was clear from Qin Yirou’s words that she was utterly disappointed in Yun Gang.
As the rest listened in, especially Ge Junjian and his comrades, they could not help sympathizing with Qin Yirou for what she had been through in the past. They pitied Yun Zheng for having a younger brother like that as well.
Swiftly, Dong Weiguo and others whose impression of Qin Yirou had lowered just now due to Yun Zheng felt sympathy for the man and thus regained their favorable impression of Qin Yirou.
“What the heck! Are these scums dismissing human lives when we soldiers are standing guard?” Dong Weiguo stood up with a slam on the table and told Yun Zheng in reassurance, “Let’s see what those thugs can do to you when I’m there!”
The other military men chorused the sentiment as well when Dong Weiguo spoke up.
Then, Yun Jian’s voice rang distinctly, “You guys don’t have to do anything. This is my family affair.”
As she spoke, she stood up to tell Yun Zheng, “No one from your family will be harmed.”
Her eyes turned sharp at this point. “But I’ve said before that it doesn’t concern me whether Yun Gang is alive or dead!”
With that spoken out loud, everyone in the room, especially Ge Junjian’s comrades, were dumbstruck.
