Chapter 837 - 775: Enlightenment, Enlightenment!

However, in the next moment, Jiang Yino’s answer completely chilled her heart.

"Hmm!"

Faced with her mother’s anxious questioning.

Jiang Yino remained silent for a few seconds.

Then she bit her lip and gave a faint "hmm".

In those few seconds of silence, she was struggling.

She knew what her "hmm" would lead to.

But she could never bring herself to be vague and deceive her mother on this issue.

"Yino, my daughter, you’re being foolish!"

With her hands wet from tap water, Zhou Shufen trembled and said with tears in her voice, "You’ve only just met Xiaofan, and both of you are still students, freshmen in college! How can you act this way? A woman must love and respect herself. Without this self-respect, how can you expect him to cherish you?"

"Mom, it’s not that I don’t respect myself. It’s just that Qin Fan and I have been through so much in these six months! I can no longer maintain my composure! I was not impulsive, nor did I have the luxury to be impulsive. When I made that decision, I was clear-minded, rational, not lost in any so-called impulsiveness! Mom, I understand your concerns, and I respect them! But please believe me, in these nineteen years, I’ve never gambled on anything; this time I’m betting on my own emotional life! I believe I won’t lose everything! Qin Fan won’t let me lose either! I know that whatever I say now may sound far-fetched, but the truth is, don’t all women gamble on this? Who can guarantee their gamble is a sure win? But I believe he won’t disappoint me!"

Looking directly into her mother’s tearful eyes, Jiang Yino spoke calmly.

As she spoke, she smiled.

A smile full of that little woman’s happiness.

"Child, you’re still too young! And you’re only so young, who knows what changes the future holds! Besides, his family is so well-off; if you go, will you have any status there? These are issues you must consider. You’re young, you just haven’t thought so far ahead! I’m different; I’ve seen too many sources of young girls’ downfalls! Yino, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but people’s hearts are unpredictable!" Zhou Shufen wiped her tears and sobbed softly.

"Mom, I understand all this! I admit I’ve been a bit willful, but now the die is cast. Mom, will you bless me?" Jiang Yino wiped her mother’s tears with her hand and asked.

"Ah!!!"

A deep sigh came.

Zhou Shufen didn’t say more.

She turned around and started washing the tea sets.

.....

Buzzz-!

Buzzz-!

As Zhou Shufen regained her composure and brought out the tea sets.

At the moment when the grand old lady of the Jiang Family was joyfully demonstrating her exquisite tea art.

Outside the mottled courtyard for staff.

Luxury cars, one after another, with special license plates.

Stirring up dust, they drove straight towards the direction of the staff building.

"Hmm?"

Inside the rusty, stained gates of the staff courtyard.

The old man sitting in the security booth, upon hearing the engine buzz, immediately put down his newspaper, adjusted his glasses, and poked his head out of the booth’s window to have a look.

"A car from the City Bureau!"

"A car from the City Government!"

"A car from the Military District!"

"A car from the Military!"

"A Rolls Royce!"

"A Bentley!"

"This is crazy, crazy, crazy. Where are they going? What’s happening!"

Seeing the license plates appearing before him, gathered together, the gatekeeper trembled and exclaimed.

But what shocked him even more was yet to come.

The destination these vehicles were headed to was this very staff courtyard.

A dozen seconds later.

The City Government’s lead car swiftly stopped beside the locked, rusted gate.

The rear window was rolled down.

A gentle middle-aged man smiled and said, "Sir, could you please open the gate?"

"You’re Officer Guo!!!" The gatekeeper suddenly shouted in shock.

"Sir, you still recognize me? Haha- yes, I’m Guo Donglin. Would it be convenient for you to open the gate for me?" Guo Donglin, sitting in the back, asked with an extremely amiable smile.

"Alright, alright, Officer Guo, please wait a moment, I’ll open it right away!"

Responding excitedly, the gatekeeper clumsily picked up the keys with trembling hands and stumbled out of the security booth.

With hands shaking from excitement, it took him a full minute to get the gate open, but none of the vehicles that blocked the road hurried him.

They didn’t dare to hurry!

Because they all knew who they were here for.

Under the menace of that demon, who dares to put on airs and make a scene?

That’s courting death!

"Officer Guo, please, come in-!!!"

After finally opening the gate, the gatekeeper quickly ran to the car window to call out.

"Alright, thank you, sir!"

Guo Donglin responded with a smile and called out to the driver.

The Audi A6L promptly drove in.

As the A6L entered.

The vehicles behind also swiftly followed in.

The City Government, the City Bureau, the Military District, the Military, and those business magnates, all the vehicles broadcasting their identities instantly filled the entire courtyard.

Witnessing the immense scale of the entourage, the gatekeeper was left in a state of shock, unable to recover.

The military, government, and business giants all gathering in this staff courtyard, what could they have come for?

What person or event in this staff courtyard warranted such a collective appearance from them?

Could it be that the Holy Emperor is covertly making a private visit here?

Yes, yes, that’s definitely it!

The gatekeeper, who relied solely on absolute experience for situational analysis, suddenly erupted with overwhelming excitement, feeling as if he was floating.

Because he couldn’t think of any other answer!

He wanted to approach and find out the truth, but just as he had taken two steps forward, he pulled back.

"Now’s not the time, later, later, yes, they must come down later, then I can go over and shake hands and take a photo with the Holy Emperor!"

Muttering excitedly to himself, he hurried back into the security booth, grabbed a chair, and came out.

He placed it outside the booth and sat facing the entrances of each building!

With unprecedented excitement, he fixed his gaze forward intensely.

"I didn’t expect you to receive the news so quickly either!"

Having stepped out of the Audi A6L and glanced at those stepping out of their cars, Guo Donglin smiled wryly.

"Comrade Donglin! It was mostly a matter of timing, haha!"

A middle-aged military man, with a single star on his shoulder, approached with a hearty laugh.

"General Yan, I didn’t expect you to come as well; that’s quite a surprise!" A senior officer who had replaced the Qiao Family as the head of the Military District joked.

"I didn’t have a choice! Last time, those brats from the Northwest Military District gave several elite units a beating, I wanted to see if I could invite the peerless instructor out once more to reclaim our military prestige!" General Yan candidly remarked.

Hearing this, everyone exchanged smiles.

No one broke the silence.

"Both the military and government are here, along with those business giants! The passageway is just one meter wide; how do you suggest we proceed?" Guo Donglin pushed his glasses playfully and spread his hands with a smile.

"Consciousness, consciousness! Haha!"

After General Yan’s hearty laughter faded.

He began to stride forward with resolve.

Seeing this, Guo Donglin shook his head with a wry smile.

Without hesitation, he followed along.

Next came the head of the Military District and the City Government leaders.

There were a dozen cars that arrived, and everyone wanted to go.

But in the end, only these four made it up the stairs to the building belonging to the Jiang Family.

Truly confirming the saying.

Consciousness, consciousness!!
