"Mom, Pei Xingzhi's lawyer called me several times today, but I didn't dare answer any of them..."

"I don't want to go to jail, I really don't want to go to jail, please think of a way for me!"

Qin Sisi grabbed Ding Fenglian's arm, shaking it violently while stamping her feet in frustration.

"...Ouch!" Ding Fenglian's arm hurt from being shaken so much that she had to pull her hand away. "Sisi, stop making a fuss. Mom is trying to figure something out for you!"

"But you've been thinking about this all day!" Qin Sisi frowned, looking very impatient. "You've been thinking about this method since this morning, how come you still haven't come up with anything!"

"I want to figure it out quickly too! But you have to give me some time, right?" Ding Fenglian was already extremely anxious, and Qin Sisi's urging made her even more anxious.

"I've been married to your father for so many years and have always stayed at home. I haven't made many connections. The few people I know are all wives of other company employees. I called them all this afternoon, but because of their relationship with Xie's Technology, not one of them was willing to stand up for me! I've done my best!"

"I've tried my best... What am I supposed to do then?" Qin Sisi's lips trembled, and large tears rolled down her cheeks. "Mom, are you really going to just stand by and watch Pei Xingzhi send me to jail?"

Ding Fenglian: "Mom doesn't want to either, but what am I supposed to do now? All these people in Yuncheng are opportunistic. Now that the Qin Group is in decline, they're all keeping their distance from us! Forget about asking for help, I might not even be able to get through to everyone on the phone!"

"Then, if all else fails, I'll go to Daddy." Qin Sisi wiped away her tears. "Daddy knows a lot of people, maybe he can help me..."

"...Come on, come on." Ding Fenglian glared at her with a headache. "Your father's hair has turned completely white from worrying about your older brother's situation. He doesn't have the energy to care about you now!"

"If you're looking for help, there might only be one person in the entire Yun City who can help you."

"Who is it?" Qin Sisi's eyes lit up instantly.

Ding Fenglian looked at her: "Pei Yulin, Pei Xingzhi's mother."

“Pei Xingzhi’s mother…” Qin Sisi’s expression froze for a moment, “Will she…will she help me?”

Ding Fenglian: "If you make yourself sound pitiful enough, she might be able to help you. She's a teacher and has a very soft heart. If you're proactive in admitting your mistakes and make your situation sound even worse, she might soften and plead for you."

"Ah..." Qin Sisi licked her lips, hesitated for less than five seconds, and then reached out her hand to Ding Fenglian.

"Mom, give me your phone, I want to call Pei Yulin."

Upon hearing this, Ding Fenglian immediately took her phone and handed it to Qin Sisi: "Go ahead and call. Her number is saved in my contacts."

Qin Sisi: "Mm."

She unlocked Ding Fenglian's phone, found Pei Yulin's number in the contacts, hesitated for two seconds, and then decisively called her.

"Beep...beep..."

Pei Yulin answered the phone after it rang only twice.

"Hello?" Her voice was as gentle as ever.

"Hello? Is this Aunt Pei Yulin?" Qin Sisi deliberately softened her tone to make her attitude sound very friendly.

"I'm."

From Pei Yulin's side, one could faintly hear a child's babbling. It didn't sound noisy at all; on the contrary, it sounded rather warm.

Qin Sisi: "Hello Aunt Pei, I am... I am Qin Sisi."

Feeling a little guilty, Qin Sisi unconsciously lowered her voice considerably when introducing herself.

"Qin Sisi..."

Upon hearing this name, Pei Yulin's tone immediately changed.

"It's you." Her voice held a hint of amusement, but the amusement was anything but friendly.

As Ding Fenglian listened, her heart sank to the bottom. Although the phone call had only just begun, she already knew how it would end.

Why did you suddenly call me? Is something wrong?

Qin Sisi swallowed nervously and stammered, "Aunt Pei, it's like this, do you know that Pei Xingzhi sent me a lawyer's letter?"

“I know,” Pei Yulin replied casually. “Xingzhi sued you, and Lu Yibai is also on the list of defendants.”

"Yes..." This is really embarrassing. Even Qin Sisi, who is shameless, felt a little embarrassed. "Pei Xingzhi did sue me. I came to see you about this matter."

"Huh?" Pei Yulin didn't understand what she meant. "What does this have to do with me? It's not like I'm the one who reported you."

Qin Sisi: "Aunt Pei, it's true that you're not the one who accused me, but you are Pei Xingzhi's mother. Pei Xingzhi is angry with me right now and refuses to give me a chance to atone for my sins. I really had nowhere else to turn, so I came to you."

"You have the kindest heart, could you please plead with Pei Xingzhi for me?"

"...Plead for him?" Pei Yulin's voice suddenly changed. "Plead for you?"

"Yes," Qin Sisi said shamelessly, "I'm still so young. If I really get sued and go to jail, my life will be completely ruined! Aunt Pei, you also have a daughter, and your daughter is about my age. Please have pity on me, I really can't go to jail!"

Ding Fenglian, who was standing to the side, immediately gave Qin Sisi a wink when she heard her say that, signaling her to exaggerate her situation even more.

Qin Sisi understood and quickly added, "Aunt Pei, my brother is now involved in Xie Zhaoyuan's disappearance case, and I have been sued by Pei Xingzhi. If something happens to both of us, the Qin family will be finished!"

"My parents are so old, they really can't bear such a blow! I beg you, please help me, please ask Pei Xingzhi for a chance to make amends!"

"Humph……"

Qin Sisi pleaded pitifully for so long, but Pei Yulin's only response was a cold laugh that held no meaning.

Qin Sisi: "Aunt Pei, I'm begging you, if you don't help me, my life will be ruined! If I go to jail, no one will even want to wash dishes..."

“Oh…” Pei Yulin drawled out, as if he had taken Qin Sisi’s words to heart.

"That's terrible! Nobody even wants to hire you to wash dishes?"

"Yes!" Qin Sisi nodded repeatedly.

Pei Yulin: "If nobody wants to wash dishes, then you can wash cups. Someone should be willing to wash cups."

"...Huh?" Qin Sisi was confused by this answer.

"Aunt Pei, you..."

Pei Yulin interrupted her: "If no one wants to wash cups, then you can clean toilets. No criminal record check is required for this job, you'll definitely be hired!"
