Chapter 2395: Do you really have a heart?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shocked exclamations reverberated throughout the conference room.
“What’s going on? This… this is Yin Yuerong?”
“This is the first time I’ve realized Director Yin is so beautiful! Even at her age, I can still see her beauty! She’s a lot more charming than those young women!”
“Director Yin was a well-renowned beauty years ago, alright? It’s just that she dressed like a widow afterward and looked unapproachable and cold, so everyone forgot…”
Several older higher-ups were aware of the inside story back then and couldn’t help but remark, “Say, what was that guy from the Si Clan thinking back then? Why would he disregard such a gorgeous beauty with a background and insist on abandoning everything to elope with an impoverished girl from China?!”
“To me, what’s hardest to understand is Yin Yuerong, right? With her qualities, what man would be un.o.btainable for her back then? Why did she vehemently latch onto Si Huaizhang? Her story is too pitiful!”
…
When Yi Lingjun heard everyone straying further and further from the topic at hand, he cleared his throat and interrupted their discussion. He turned to Yin Yuerong and said, “Please sit, Director Yin. How are you feeling?”
1Yin Yuerong nodded curtly. “Thank you for your concern, President. I’m fine now.”
“Ah, that’s good.” Yi Lingjun couldn’t help but feel suspicious as he said that.
Yin Yuerong was a workaholic and had never taken a sick day since she started with the Arbitration Council. One time, there was an a.s.sa.s.sination attempt on her and she took a knife to her abdomen, but she still attended a meeting the next day with bandages around her waist. This was her first time requesting a day off, and based on what her housekeeper said on the phone, it was a minor illness such as a cold and fever. This was truly surprising.
Then, when Yin Yuerong appeared today, she was dressed totally different than her norm, so this was naturally eye-catching.
Yi Lingjun couldn’t help but wonder why Yin Yuerong was behaving so abnormally all of a sudden.
At the same time, another attendee of the meeting today, Si Yehan, was also imperceptibly examining Yin Yuerong.
He didn’t pay attention to what she wore and was merely trying to a.s.sess Tangtang’s situation based on her expression.
Si Yehan sent people to covertly scout at the Yin Estate and learned that Tangtang wasn’t there and was probably transported elsewhere in secret. He suspected Tangtang was moved to another manor that belonged to Yin Yuerong, but that manor was under tight surveillance and Yin Yuerong’s confidants had full control of the area, so he was unable to obtain any information.
After the meeting ended, in the hallway:
Si Yehan called out, “Director Yin.”
Yin Yuerong appeared to have predicted Si Yehan would seek her out, so she calmly turned around. “Do you need something?”
Si Yehan cut straight to the chase. “When are you planning to release Tangtang, Director Yin?”
Yin Yuerong aloofly replied, “It’s my first time meeting my grandson, after all, so I’ll naturally keep him for several more days.”
Si Yehan’s face was frosty. “I’m afraid your adopted son won’t last several more days.”
Yin Yuerong mockingly smiled. “Heh, Ah-Jiu, I always thought you knew Mom well. Why did you think you could threaten me with Yin Heng?”
Si Yehan knitted his brows. Wanwan also said something similar.
However, Yin Yuerong had no scruples about replacing him with Yin Heng and cemented Yin Heng’s inheritance of the position of family head. She even once risked her life to save Yin Heng, so how could she disregard her adopted son’s life?
Yin Yuerong retracted her smile and ice enveloped her eyes. “I’m unconcerned about Yin Heng’s survival. If you like, you can keep him. Whether you kill or cut him into pieces, do as you wish.”
Si Yehan coldly stared at the woman in front of him with a bottomless darkness in his eyes. “Yin Yuerong, do you really have a heart?”
