Mo Jin still had a little understanding toward this auntie of hers. Right now, that woman knew that Shi Guang could not and must not be offended. Even if Shi Guang did not agree to it, she would definitely not dare to head over to grandma’s place. If she wanted her daughter to get out of this cleanly, desperate attempts like that would only make things worse.

Shi Guang furrowed her brows.

Little auntie already knew about her sister’s disappearance?

She spoke with a voice that was laced with frost, “I’ll consider it.”

Mo Jin looked at Shi Guang’s expression and tone, and could tell that she had no intention of letting Qiao Yuwei off. And she too did not wish to forgive Qiao Yuwei as well.

However, that was still her auntie’s daughter at the end of the day. In this world, human relationships were complex and difficult to manage.

Mo Jin said nothing more about it. However, that was not the end of the matter just yet. Because the next day, little auntie was the one who had arrived.

When she found out about Mo Feifei’s disappearance and Qiao Yuwei’s involvement in it, she was absolutely flabbergasted.

From all her knowledge gained in life so far, it was absolutely impossible for something like this to ever happen within her conceivable imagination. And she would have never imagined that this daughter of her sister-in-law would be willing to do anything for the sake of money.

At the thought of the missing Mo Feifei, she was equally flustered—she had already gotten her operation, and everyone was just clearly waiting for her to wake up. Why had she suddenly gone missing just like that?

Mother Qiao had spent a long time crying in front of her, and Grandma Su was her mother-in-law as well. Half using her authority and the other half playing the sympathy card, Grandma Su had little auntie left with no other choice but to come seek Shi Guang.

“She’s a girl. If she really leaves a black record in her name by going to jail, her life would be ruined. Shi Guang, we’re all relatives at the end of the day. Since she has already been showing concern all this while as well, can you probably just let her off?”

Shi Guang was gloom and frustrated.

Everything was just Qiao Yuwei’s own desserts. For harming her sister and joining others to kidnap her sister in cahoots, she SHOULD go to jail and get a black record.

Her life would be ruined? What about Feifei? Who would take responsibility for Feifei’s issue then?

Why should she let her off? She asked for it herself!

Even though Shi Guang did not give her little auntie a clear reply, her mood got inexplicably heavy.

In her life, her little auntie was her most important relative whom she should be feeling the most grateful for. In her most difficult, helpless, terrible, and despairing moments, it was always her little auntie who had helped her.

And in this entire affair, her little auntie was caught in the worst position. She was just a simple woman who wanted to uphold her family with a kind heart.

On one side, it was her elder sister’s daughter.

On the other, it was her sister-in-law’s daughter.

No matter who she helped, she couldn’t get it easy on either end.

When Lu Yanchen returned that night, Shi Guang asked about her sister’s whereabouts—there was still nothing. It was as though her sister had disappeared without a trace from this world.

She then related the story of her little auntie’s visit and asked Lu Yanchen, “Do you think I should let Qiao Yuwei off?”

That was a question he could not answer her.

The world of the Chinese was one that was extremely complicated.

Between friends, anyone could just determine that they want out and walk the other way, never to get along with the other till death again. But between relatives, there was no way to sever that tie. Every family would have some f*cked up relatives whom one would have to get along with no matter how much one disliked them.

That, in short, was simply the intricacy of human relationships.

However, China was a place where human relationships were valued above all else. If one didn’t know how to manage them, one was termed as stupid and without any EQ.

But, bluntly speaking, human relationships meant nothing more than this:‘You’ve got to sacrifice’.

“If you don’t know what to do about it, then leave it be first and decide after you know,” Lu Yanchen replied calmly before walking over to the bar table to pour himself a glass of wine.
