Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 498 - 374: Lecture

Just as she was about to curse, Eric sensibly hung up, forcing Su Xiaomeng to swallow her swear words, along with Eric’s ancestor.

The big boss already knows...

How did it happen so fast? I just started following it not long ago myself...

After finishing the call with Eric, Xiao Meng was a bit dazed, but after a few seconds, she decisively dialed Yin Shixiu’s overseas number!

Eric is the kind of person who fears the world is not chaotic enough, and this my big boss knows too!

So as long as I patiently explain everything clearly, if the big boss still doesn’t believe me, he can have Qin Hui testify for me when he returns!

Thinking of this, Xiao Meng no longer felt so scared.

However... thinking is one thing, reality is forever cruel.

My big boss’s phone is turned off!

"..."

Xiao Meng stared at her own phone with a face turned dark.

She sat cross-legged on the bed, stunned.

The sibling duo who had been "fighting" on the bed finally noticed that something was wrong with their mom.

Shuangshuang let go of her brother and climbed over to Su Xiaomeng’s side, leaned into her arms, tilted her head up and asked,

"Mommy..."

"...uh?"

Su Xiaomeng answered with a sound, then lowered her head to meet a face that bore a few scheming expressions like Yin Shixiu’s, instantly making her back turn cold and her face even darker.

Shuangshuang crossed her arms and chuckled,

"Did you get into trouble?"

"Of course not! How could mommy run into trouble?"

"Hehe!"

Shuangshuang chuckled again.

Kids, too young to concern, laugh when they please, but at this moment, little Mengxin felt guilty, and her daughter’s laugh immediately seemed sinister!

Unable to resist, she added seriously,

"Mommy is so smart, she won’t get into trouble!"

"Liar... will grow a long nose."

Prince Huang suddenly muttered from the side, making Xiao Meng turn and see him pressing his nose, like a little pig.

Another chill ran down Xiao Meng’s back.

Shuangshuang, no matter what, still had a bit of her mom’s personality, but Prince Huang, the more she interacted, the more he seemed like Yin Shixiu!

Prince Huang’s sudden remark had a stronger deterrent effect on Su Xiaomeng than Shuangshuang’s.

"Gagaga!"

Shuangshuang leaned against Xiao Meng’s crossed legs, laughing heartily, her chubby hands scratching her toes, posed as if ready to rub them on Su Xiaomeng’s face.

Xiao Meng turned her face away in disgust.

Prince Huang climbed over and wrapped his arms around Xiao Meng’s neck from behind, standing on tiptoe, resting his chin on Xiao Meng’s shoulder affectionately, asking the question Xiao Meng least wanted to think about now,

"Dad... when are you coming home?"

Before Xiao Meng could answer, Shuangshuang jumped up and, with the hand that scratched her toes, extended two fingers, shouting,

"Shuangshuang guesses three days!"

Watching Shuangshuang Huang’s funny antics, Xiao Meng suddenly felt much relieved.

Well, there’s no point in overthinking, her husband is no ordinary person, and won’t misunderstand her over such trivial things...

Well, hopefully!

After turning off the lights, Shuangshuang insisted on sleeping between her and her brother,

"This way, Shuangshuang can hug mommy and brother..."

She said triumphantly.

Prince Huang wasn’t too pleased; he wanted to sleep next to mommy too.

So the two fought over the sleeping position for a while, Xiao Meng had no choice and stretched out her hands to hold both of them close.

In the winter, hugging two little heaters inside, couldn’t be more comforting.

The next day, Xiao Meng went to school.

The strange looks from others attacked her again, this time far surpassing the range from the beginning of the semester.

The post on the forum was deleted, but the resources never got cleaned up.

Privately, it must be circulating among classmates.

Qin Hui was waiting for Su Xiaomeng in D class’s lounge early, shocked to see her coming to school like nothing happened,

"Are you okay, Xiao Meng?"

"Do I look okay?"

Su Xiaomeng lamented, as right now, the eyes from all D class students mostly fell on her, and she could only pretend not to care.

Not that she truly doesn’t care.

Qin Hui hurriedly pulled Xiao Meng out, and they found a quiet spot. She said seriously,

"What do you think we should do, I’ll listen to you, if not, I’ll write down the whole story!"

"Are you crazy!"

"Otherwise, what should we do? It’s all because of me that you and Eric ended up as the gossip subjects. From now on..."

Su Xiaomeng didn’t sleep well last night, thinking for a long time before falling asleep exhausted.

Enduring the strange looks from others at school wasn’t easy...

But compared to ordinary people, her situation seemed special.

Campus life often makes outsiders envy or reminisce, but those really in it, don’t necessarily feel any magical.

The University of Bath is a prestigious institution many aspire to.

Xiao Meng gave it her all to come here.

If she could make new friends, she’d be happy, if not, she would still accept it gladly.

Because, compared to other students, she didn’t have that much time and energy.

"No problem."

"..."

"Eric and I were good friends originally, in school, you’re probably the only classmate I’m close to, as long as you understand the reason, it’s fine."

"The study here is so intense, everyone finding some topics to lighten up is understandable."

"Even if I loudly explain everything, it’s not certain others would believe me. Compared to that video, scoring ’thirteen points’ on the baseline exam is what’s truly unbelievable."

"So... you plan to let people keep guessing randomly?"

"Don’t forget, everyone is busy too. Who has time to stare at me every day?"

"..."

Qin Hui was stunned, not expecting Su Xiaomeng to be so calm.

She thought normally, when a girl faces such a situation, she’d probably be crying unfairly by now.

"Aren’t you worried that in the future, all your achievements people would say Eric got you the connections?"

"Uh... actually, if I wanted to pull strings, I wouldn’t need Eric..."

Looking at Qin Hui, Xiao Meng said with genuine seriousness.

"Huh?"

"My husband... actually holds quite a position in the United Kingdom."

"..."

Qin Hui suddenly didn’t know what to say.

"Haha! Don’t worry! It’s just a minor thing!"

Xiao Meng patted Qin Hui’s back, urging her not to take this matter to heart.

Qin Hui kept searching Xiao Meng’s face for any flaws, wanted to see if she was just forcing a smile.

After all, that would be the normal human reaction.

However... there was none.

Because, to Su Xiaomeng, it was really a trivial matter compared to what she had experienced.

And, in the future, as an interpreter, all sorts of things might happen along the way...

The trending post on the school forum was merely a theatrical mess the students played with rumors.

As long as her husband doesn’t use it for an excuse, she won’t care.

"Alright, you should head back to your classroom. Next class is about to start."

Xiao Meng urged.

Qin Hui dazed, hard to return to her senses, walked a few steps then turned back,

"By the way, this afternoon, the Business School has a lecture, it seems to be Yin Technology’s group president as the primary speaker."

"Buzz"!

Xiao Meng’s mind made a "buzz" sound... how could it be?

He’s still in Beijing!

"That’s the big boss of the most powerful internet company in our country. Shouldn’t we go see it?"

"Afternoon... what time?"

"Around three, I think."

Su Xiaomeng quickly checked flight schedules online, squinted her eyes, if it’s really Yin Shixiu...

He should be almost reaching London now.

She hurriedly sent a message to Yin Shixiu—

Are you coming to our school for a lecture today?

At nine-thirty, mid-class, Xiao Meng received Yin Shixiu’s reply—

Yes, just landed, changing clothes then I’ll come, think well how you performed that dance, I’ll check later.

"..."
