Chapter 217: Chapter 217 Reporting a Grievance

"Seriously, you just know how to say nice things to appease me." Lin Mengyao lowered her head, showing the flushed tips of her ears to Xu Ke, not wanting him to see her red and swollen eyes from crying or her possibly smudged makeup. Although he said he’d always adore her no matter what, as a woman she wished to always look her best for him and would never let him see her in her most disheveled state.

"Whether I’m appeasing you or not, you’ll have a lifetime to think about it." Xu Ke looked at Lin Mengyao’s flushed ears and said with a smile.

"Alright, stop talking. Let’s hurry and drive away, the big brother behind is getting anxious." Lin Mengyao extended her hand and gently pushed Xu Ke as she spoke.

"Got it, my dear wife." Xu Ke reached out and gently patted the top of Lin Mengyao’s head, started the car, and continued driving forward.

"Mengyao, I hope that in the future, no matter what you think, you can tell me right away. Don’t bottle things up and overthink, okay? If there are any problems or worries, just speak them out. We can solve them together, instead of one of us bottling things up and scaring ourselves with baseless thoughts. I don’t want any misunderstandings between us, alright?" Xu Ke focused on driving while also sparing some attention to observe Lin Mengyao’s face, voicing his thoughts.

"Mm, I’ll tell you whatever’s on my mind in the future, and I won’t overthink anymore." Lin Mengyao glanced at Xu Ke with determination in her eyes and responded.

Having reached a consensus, they put their thoughts aside, and their spirits were considerably higher on the way back than it had been when they had left.

While Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao were doing well, the situation with the Jin family was not so good.

The wounds on Jin Long’s body were bandaged. Although he had many wounds, because of his excess fat, these injuries looked worse than they were and none of them were life-threatening. The most serious issue was heavier blood loss, which caused some anemia, but with blood-nourishing food, it would heal quickly. Therefore, Jin Long woke up soon after arriving at the hospital and could almost be discharged immediately, but he refused to leave.

On the other hand, Jin Ling, although she had no visible injuries, was more severely injured than Jin Long. She had torn ligaments and was not fit to walk for the time being, needing to use a wheelchair to recover slowly. The two siblings entered the hospital at the same time and stayed in the same ward at Jin Long’s request.

Seeing both siblings get injured in one day, Master Jin, despite earlier threatening to send them both back home during the party, softened seeing their miserable state and gave up on sending them back. More importantly, he couldn’t explain this incident to his elder brother. While the two brothers weren’t in the same city anymore, Master Jin had no intention of losing his older brother’s support and the support of the Bai City Jin family.

"Sis, what should we do about this?" In the ward, Jin Long looked at his injured arm with malice in his eyes and asked his sister Jin Ling in an unfriendly tone.

"We definitely can’t let this matter rest just like this. I want those two bastards to pay, and that ungrateful little bitch Jin Yuyan and her old bastard grandfather, I won’t let any of those four go. After causing us siblings to end up like this, do they think giving us a deluxe ward and not sending us home means we’re grateful to them? Bah, they must be dreaming. If I don’t make those four suffer enough to understand why flowers are red, I’ll take their last name." Jin Ling snapped with vicious determination.

"So, sister, do you have a plan?" Jin Long’s eyes lit up, filled with a dark and malicious glow.

"Plans don’t come that quickly. Everything needs a long-term strategy. I haven’t figured out how to deal with those two bastards yet, but causing trouble for Jin Yuyan and her grandfather is easy enough. If I can’t live well, then none of us will." Jin Ling curled one side of her lips and said coldly.

Jin Long was momentarily stunned. He was unaware of what had happened after he passed out, but his twin intuition allowed him to sense Jin Ling’s determination and her disgust towards Jin Yuyan and the old man’s names. Though he didn’t know what had transpired, he chose to stand unconditionally by his sister’s side, his gaze becoming firm.

"Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you opposing me?" Jin Ling cast a cold look at Jin Long.

"How could I? Of course, I’m on your side, Sis. Just tell me what to do." Jin Long gritted through the pain, using his bandaged hand, wrapped like a bun, to pat his equally bandaged chest, wincing from the pain and sucking in a cold breath.

"You don’t need to do anything. After I call Grandpa, all you need to do is act pitiful; be as pitiful as possible to make Grandpa feel deeply sorry for you, understood?" A glint of cunning quickly flashed across Jin Ling’s eyes.

"Got it, this is my specialty. Just watch; I’ll complete the task you assign perfectly." Jin Long narrowed his already small eyes and promised confidently.

Jin Ling made a video call to her grandfather. The call was answered almost instantly. Jin Zhengxiong was initially delighted to receive a call from his eldest grandson, but as soon as he saw his precious grandchildren both bandaged head to toe, one looking mummified and the other stuck in a wheelchair due to torn ligaments, the smile disappeared from his eyes, leaving only coldness.

"What happened? Did something occur with the Jin family? How did you two get bullied like this?" Jin Zhengxiong asked coldly.

Almost as soon as the words left the old master’s lips, tears began to flow down Jin Long’s eyes silently. His aggrieved, silent tears made him appear so wronged that it almost broke Jin Zhengxiong’s heart.

Seeing the setup was about right, Jin Ling hurriedly recounted the events of the party, exaggerating them. Furious, Jin Zhengxiong smashed whatever was in front of him, though luckily, he remembered the phone was for video calls with his granddaughter, so he didn’t throw it.

Upon knowing how greatly aggrieved his precious grandchildren were, Jin Zhengxiong couldn’t sit still, "You two wait for Grandpa in Luo City; Grandpa will take a plane over right away. No matter what, Grandpa will avenge this injustice for you." Jin Zhengxiong comforted his grandchildren, and the next second, the previously connected video went black. Jin Ling’s eyes finally showed a smile, but it was icy to the bone.
