Chapter 493: Chapter 467 Perfect Solution

Xiao Qian’s visit delivered a heavy blow to Miss Yu.

If Xiao Qian were to do exactly as she said, Miss Yu would be helpless, basically rendered useless.

For many days to come, Miss Yu would live in a state of fear and insecurity.

Xiao Qian’s method was the same as what Miss Yu had used against Xiao Qian.

However, Miss Yu hadn’t inflicted the slightest blow on Xiao Qian, whereas Xiao Qian had grasped Miss Yu’s weakness.

Xiao Qian left Miss Yu’s house and went straight to Qiang City, handing in her recorded conversation with Miss Yu to Mother Yu and Father Yu.

From the conversation with Miss Yu, she selectively recorded the parts that were favorable to her.

After both Mother Yu and Father Yu finished listening, they were furious. Especially the straight-arrow Father Yu who, after listening, simply muttered something about the nonsense and then angrily slammed the living room door.

Mother Yu was also quite angry. Xiao Qian’s recording was very skillful and she took liberties with the facts, downplaying her own jab at Miss Yu while emphasizing Miss Yu’s confession to messing things up.

To any listener, it looked like an understanding Xiao Qian versus an unreasonable Miss Yu.

Father Yu angrily left the room while Mother Yu was pacing back and forth, fuming.

“I’m so mad! This is outrageous!”

“It’s my fault, aunt, I should have been more patient.” Xiao Qian apologized insincerely.

“This has nothing to do with you. You’ve done everything right! I’m mad because Miss Yu is so unreasonable! How can she act so immaturely at her age? It’s simply outrageous!”

Mother Yu was in a rage.

Xiao Qian stood with her hands down, looking as innocent as a baby.

She secretly thought that although her actions were a bit manipulative, she had no choice. Considering the number of tactics Miss Yu had used, she had to respond in kind to suppress her.

Taking the moral high ground meant she would end up clean, and she could use Mother Yu and Father Yu to deal with Miss Yu. Their anger would also be vented, and Miss Yu must be scared to death by now.

Xiao Qian weighed the pros and cons. Though it would be satisfying to tarnish Miss Yu’s reputation as she suggested, it could also cause endless trouble down the road.

There are no walls without ears. If this gets to Father Yu, who values family ties, it would leave an impression of her being vicious in the Yu family.

Ming Lang is very protective. He wouldn’t blame Xiao Qian for this, but who knows what the other Yu family members might think. Even though Miss Yu was in the wrong first, Xiao Qian’s direct action against her might turn the tables against her favor.

After scaring Miss Yu, she came to Father Yu and Mother Yu seeking resolution. Not only could this ensure Miss Yu wouldn’t play any more tricks, but it could also win the favor of Father Yu and Mother Yu. When it comes to cunning, Miss Yu couldn’t compare to Xiao Qian.

“It’s good that you’re sensible. If you weren’t, and with your Miss Yu’s behavior, who knows what trouble she might have caused. You handled this very well. I promise I’ll make sure justice is served. When she was young, I tolerated her to some extent, but now that she’s older and still can’t act appropriately, she even wants to meddle with our family affairs, I won’t let her off the hook!”

Mother Yu was filled with new and old resentments against Miss Yu, unable to contain her anger.

“What about Uncle, would he have any objections or thoughts?”

“His opinion doesn’t matter! Half of Miss Yu’s outrageous behavior is all because of these useless old masters spoiling her! I’ve long asked him to control his sister, but he’s too soft. See what happened now?! At the end of the day, it’s all this old man’s fault!”

Mother Yu’s voice slightly raged, and Father Yu, who’s smoking in the living room to keep calm, came in angrily, pointing at Mother Yu and retorting.

“How is everything related to me? If she makes a mistake, you can criticize or teach her however you want, what does that have to do with me?”

“You old man! Don’t mince words! Is it enough to just criticize and educate her for what she does?! If it wasn’t for our smart Xiao Qian who knew how to control the situation, wouldn’t our family be a joke now? Wei Guo, what’s your stand on this? I’ve been putting up with this for a lifetime and I won’t say anything more, but if you ask my daughter-in-law to do the same, I will not live with you anymore!”

Father Yu wanted to throw his burnt cigarette in anger, but seeing Mother Yu glared at him with a try-if-you-dare look, he decided not to.

Father Yu couldn’t find a place to throw it, so he took a big drag to calm his nerves. Then, he continued, ” Can you be a bit reasonable? You’re talking about divorce just because I voiced my opinion? This is an external conflict, we can discuss it together and resolve it. Please stop threatening with divorce!”

Mother Yu was furious before, but suddenly she laughed at Father Yu’s statement. Xiao Qian, watching intensely from the side, was almost scared by Mother Yu’s sudden laugh.

Mother Yu, pointing at Father Yu, said proudly, “Wei Guo, dear old Yu! Finally, you’ve admitted it! So she’s now an external conflict? You’re not taking her side anymore? Not saying we’re all a family anymore?”

Father Yu was embarrassed. This old woman, could she please not bring up the past in front of the child? It was as if her dignity was shattered…

“Um, I’m going to step out…” With good timing, Xiao Qian decided to withdraw from the scene, but Mother Yu stopped her.

“Xiao Qian, don’t leave. We’re in the right on this issue, why should you, the party involved, avoid it? Stay here and observe! Our great leader teaches us, to discard the coarse and take the essence, to weed out the false and retain the true, to proceed from the shallow to the deep, and from the periphery to the center. This problem is severe, unavoidable, and must be solved!”

“The Great Leader also taught us, there is no unfounded love, nor unfounded hatred. Xiao Fan’s behaviors this time are severe and unavoidable, but they can still be corrected with education! We need to trace the origin, uncover her motive in order to strengthen the education and correct her mistakes!

“Get out! The Leader also said, if they want to fight, we will annihilate them all! That’s the gist of it. When they attack, we annihilate them and they’ll feel good. Annihilate a little bit, they feel a bit good; annihilate a lot, they’ll feel even better; annihilate all of them, they’ll feel great! When they hit, we hit back. We’re fighting for peace!”

Both of them lived through the same era and recited the rhetorics fluently, neither conceding to the other. Xiao Qian, watching the scene, found it amusing.

Seeing Mother Yu had Father Yu utterly speechless, puffing away at his cigarette in frustration, Father Yu, usually respected, had fallen because of his own sister’s issue. Father Yu had never been so humiliated in his life. But who was to blame for raising a troublesome sister?

The power balance at home was precarious! Seeing the couple about to start fighting, Xiao Qian felt it was about time. She must play the good guy and drop a bombshell.

She must appease Mother Yu and also win over Father Yu, who’s swaying in his stance.
