CHAPTER 104: CHAPTER 104: WRONG IS WRONG

Ye Silai looked up: "You shouldn’t leave without saying a word, shouldn’t easily trust others, which made you not only worried but also hurt, and nearly harmed yourselves."

Siyan pouted and said, "Brother said he wanted to give sister a surprise, that’s why he didn’t tell her. It’s Niqiu who’s bad, he’s a liar."

What Yu Xinyan didn’t expect was that Ye Silai turned to his brother and said, "Wrong is wrong, don’t make excuses."

Although Siyan didn’t quite understand, he nodded and said, "Alright, we were wrong, sister isn’t angry."

Faced with such sensible children, Yu Xinyan really couldn’t keep pretending. She pulled them over and said, "What happened today, you were indeed wrong, but acknowledging mistakes and improving is what’s most important."

Yu Xinyan feared the children might not understand, so she quickly corrected herself, "Making mistakes is okay as long as you can recognize and correct them. That’s what makes a good child. With this lesson learned, no matter what happens in the future, you must think thrice before acting, got it?"

The two young ones nodded earnestly to Yu Xinyan and said, "Got it."

Yu Xinyan then pulled them closer: "Were you scared today?"

Siyan’s eyes immediately turned red: "I won’t play with Niqiu anymore, he’s a bad person."

Yu Xinyan didn’t speak for Niqiu; although he’s still young and didn’t know the true intentions of those people, his greed led to wrongdoings, and he indeed almost caused harm. She couldn’t bring herself to like him even a bit.

Plus, there’s his mother, so playing less with him might actually be a good thing. Let’s consider it being selfish.

Yu Xinyan patted the brothers’ heads: "Remember, try not to expose your weaknesses and preferences to others, as it’s easy for people to take advantage of them. Sister didn’t do well in this regard either, which is why you fell for their trick trying to surprise me."

Since the matter was over, there was no need to keep bringing it up. After saying what needed to be said, Yu Xinyan diverted the conversation to their new clothes.

When He Jinxuan came back with the meal, he found the three talking and laughing together. Jinxuan silently thought to himself, truly born of the Ye family.

He recalled bumping into Xiao Tie earlier, who said they can be reassured now, as those who had been on the run were all captured. No one would threaten their lives again.

Xiao Tie also mentioned that this time he would report their situation truthfully to the higher department for commendation. Normally, he would shirk it, but since this concerns Yu Xinyan, he decided to be clever.

After dinner, He Jinxuan arranged everything before leaving the family compound. The more at this time, the less he should linger, so as not to affect Yu Xinyan’s reputation.

However, after leaving, he didn’t immediately return to the security department but went to find Qiao Shuanzhu: "Mr. Qiao, I have a few words to say to you, let’s talk over there."

Qiao Shuanzhu didn’t really want to go; he felt somewhat embarrassed but couldn’t refuse, so he called out into the house, "I’m going out for a bit, you all eat first."

By the time Bai Cuilin chased out, the doorway was already empty.

At this time, everyone in the family compound was having dinner, so there weren’t many people outside. Plus, given their proximity to the back mountain, no one really noticed Qiao Shuanzhu and He Jinxuan.

Qiao Shuanzhu saw He Jinxuan walking to the foothills and started to feel uneasy: "Director He, let’s just talk here."

He Jinxuan turned around with a cold face, unwilling to waste words with Qiao Shuanzhu. Some people are just impossible to reason with; it’s a waste of effort.
