Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 460 - 341: Do You Know Why He Has to Make This Trip?

Chapter 460: Chapter 341: Do You Know Why He Has to Make This Trip?

Zhou Mengqin’s eyes were calm...

"What do you mean, why?"

"Why what? Mom, are you really saying there’s no reason?!"

Yin Shixiu’s expression was stern, seeming as if he wouldn’t rest until he got to the bottom of things.

But what about the two elders of the Yin Family?

"Your older brother is a war orphan. Your mother and I brought him home, and he became a member of the family. If he doesn’t take the surname Yin, then what should it be?"

Yin Shixiu silently looked at Yin Shaohui, their similar eyes meeting—one was young and resilient, the other weathered but steadfast.

"In that case, the position of Family Head rightfully belongs to him. What reason do I have to contest it?"

"Fourth, are you throwing a tantrum with us?"

Yin Shaohui frowned and asked.

Because from Yin Shixiu’s tone, it sounded just like a child’s tantrum.

This wasn’t the first time the father and son had butted heads.

Neither one would give way to the other.

"At this stage, if you’re still unwilling to say it, I won’t ask anymore. I just keep in mind that he’s my elder brother, the eldest son of the Yin Family, even if he might not care that I’m his brother..."

"..."

"Today I lost a child. It’s a blood-stained lesson, a life lesson."

"Fourth, what do you mean by that?"

"You may play dumb in front of others, but there’s no need to do that in front of your son."

Zhou Mengqin’s brow slightly furrowed,

"Do you think Xiao Meng’s accident was your elder brother’s doing?"

"I have no evidence. I don’t know if it was him, but I’m certain Mrs. Huang isn’t capable of it, nor has the guts."

It’s not about evidence or motive.

From a professional perspective, this is a question of criminal psychology.

Judged from Mrs. Huang’s age, character, temperament, habits, social role, status, and family environment.

Even if Mrs. Huang and her sister were close, they’ve both started families and have their own homes now.

Besides, Mrs. Huang isn’t illiterate and shouldn’t recklessly do something like this in a law-abiding society.

Of course, this might also have something to do with Yin Shixiu’s own psyche.

Subconsciously, he felt the truth couldn’t be that simple.

Policemen solve cases based solely on evidence.

Yin Shaohui was silent for a moment and after a long pause, said to Yin Shixiu,

"The eldest does have ambitions, but to really harm you or Xiao Meng, he wouldn’t go that far."

"..."

Yin Shixiu did not say more, his gaze again falling outside the car window.

He too hoped... it wouldn’t come to that.

————

In the evening, Yin Shixiu took Shuangshuang and Huang Huang up Jiuling Mountain to Yijing Manor.

Dinner was already prepared.

While Xiao Meng was hospitalized, Shuangshuang and Huang Huang had only visited twice, each time spending a brief time with their mom before leaving.

The two children missed their mother dearly.

Coming to their great-grandfather’s, they weren’t particularly close to him, nor did they much notice their grandfather and grandmother, only their mom.

Su Xiaomeng hugged Prince Huang, taking a look at the wound on his forehead. The scab had already fallen off, revealing tender new flesh.

She lowered her head to plant a kiss on Prince Huang’s forehead.

"Mom..."

Shuangshuang raised her hand to touch her own forehead, indicating she wanted a kiss too.

She laughed softly, leaned in, and kissed her sister as well.

Thankfully, she still had Shuangshuang and Huang Huang...

"What about me?"

Yin Shixiu stepped in, teasingly.

"Are you a child?"

"If only children get kisses, then I’ll be a child this time."

Xiao Meng sat in the chair, and when she saw Yin Shixiu squat down, she leaned over and gave him a heavy kiss.

Bai Fengmao had just come downstairs and witnessed this scene.

"Kissing and kissing, do you even know the occasion?"

Bai Fengmao glared at Yin Shixiu, outwardly seeming still angry with him.

"Grandfather... I bought you some health supplements."

"Health supplements? Supplements are for the living. I’m almost driven to death by you. What more can I eat?"

"..."

Yin Shixiu walked over to Bai Fengmao, sincerely saying,

"Grandfather, it was my fault for not taking care of Xiao Meng. Really... please, don’t be angry anymore. If it affects your health, I truly can’t excuse myself..."

Bai Fengmao stroked his white beard, grown over many years, glanced at him, and sat on the sofa.

"Do my words make you feel wronged?"

"Not wronged, you’re right."

"Tch, really not wronged?"

"Losing a child is bad enough, but thankfully Meng Meng is okay now. She suffered; how can I say I’m wronged?"

What Yin Shixiu said wasn’t perfunctory, and Bai Fengmao couldn’t help but take a deep breath, letting him sit down, speaking earnestly,

"It’s not that I’m intentionally scolding you. When Xian’er told me Xiao Meng had a miscarriage, I was terrified. When I visited her in the hospital, you both said the child was lost but the mother was fine... Until Sidong told me, I didn’t know the seriousness of Xiao Meng’s condition."

"You young people, the child is lost, you can have more in the future. A nine-month-old fetus suffocating, the heart stopping, leading to the mother bleeding heavily—isn’t that terribly dangerous? If complications arose, the mortality rate could reach eighty or ninety percent! How could you expect me not to be afraid?"

"..."

"I’ve always emphasized, I’ve been in public office for years, always honest and clean, without much savings, unlike your family—both in politics and business."

"I feel sorry for my little girl Sixian. I have nothing to leave her. She and Chengji have only Xiao Meng. If anything happens to Xiao Meng, who will look after her parents in the future?"

"Grandfather worries about the long term. As you get older, there’s more to fret about."

"Grandfather, what you say is right. I’ve thought of all these things too. No need to say, I’m also scared..."

"..."

"Xiao Meng always says she’s lucky to marry you. Don’t let her down."

Yin Shixiu nodded.

"Dad, Shixiu, come eat."

Bai Sixian untied her apron and called them.

Bai Fengmao stood up, and Yin Shixiu supported him a bit.

"Oh, and what did Old Man Yin say? What about your elder brother—is he agreeable?"

"Grandfather spoke earnestly enough; Mom and Dad should send the Yin Shiqing family on this visit."

"Do you understand why I’m having him take this trip?"

Bai Fengmao’s voice deepened, glancing at him.

Yin Shixiu met his gaze and nodded,

"I understand your good intentions, Grandfather."

"What are you talking to Grandfather about? Why so serious?"

As Yin Shixiu sat down, Su Xiaomeng quietly asked.

"Nothing much. Eat more. On the way, I contacted Uncle. We can visit the detention center to see Mrs. Huang tomorrow."

"...Alright."

Shuangshuang and Huang Huang sat in children’s chairs to the side, wearing clean, pretty aprons. Each had a bowl of little dumplings in front of them.

Su’s father and Su’s mother assisted in feeding.

"By the way, when exactly are you going to London?"

Bai Fengmao inquired.

"Depends on my work schedule. If soon, we can leave by mid-September."

"Going to London will be good, a change of environment is beneficial for Xiao Meng. The chaotic Yin Family atmosphere isn’t suitable for her to recuperate."

"Grandfather..."

Su Xiaomeng sighed; her grandfather’s words were getting sharper.

"By the way, that Guo Tong—she’s also from your family?"

"...Yes, Aunt’s daughter."

"There are quite a few oddballs in your Su Family too."

"..."

"..."

Xiao Meng figured it out anyway; whatever was said, Bai Family people were still the best!

————

The next morning, Yin Shixiu and Xiao Meng went to the detention center where Mrs. Huang was temporarily held.

Bai Sidong led them in.

Before entering, Bai Sidong glanced at Su Xiaomeng,

"Xiao Meng, are you sure you’ll remain calm if you see her?"

"Uncle, don’t worry. It’s strange to say, but facing Mrs. Huang, my emotions really aren’t stirred..."

If there were any emotions, it would only be a sense of "sorrow" and "confusion."

Hearing Xiao Meng say this, Bai Sidong didn’t persist, and they sat in the visitation room, separated by glass, watching as Mrs. Huang was brought out from the room inside...

When Mrs. Huang saw Xiao Meng and Yin Shixiu, she unconsciously bit her pale lip.
