Xiao Yao let Mother Qian Cheng off, and once again spoke sternly, "Fine, Qian Cheng, this time, I'll let your mother go. But if there's a next time, I won't be so lenient, no matter who comes to beg for mercy. Mayor Qian, it's not good for your wife to be so naive!" The latter half was a hint to Qian Weimin.
A woman in her forties or fifties being so naive, so unable to read the room, and acting so haughty and dismissive of others—it really wasn't a good thing. The current Qian Weimin was already the mayor, and in the future, he might even be transferred to the provincial government or Capital City. With her character, who knows how many powerful officials she might offend.
"Thank you, Miss Xiao, for sparing my mother!" Qian Cheng sincerely thanked her. If Xiao Yao had really decided to punish his mother, he wouldn't have had any way to retaliate against Xiao Yao. Now that she had spared his mother, it truly seemed like Xiao Yao was indeed considering the faces of father and son.
