Ch. 146..150: Mr CEO Ex-wife Escapes Again Chapter 146-150
Chapter 146: Chapter 146: What to Do with a Formidable Wife? Chapter 146: Chapter 146: What to Do with a Formidable Wife? Just as the mother and child were enjoying their meal immensely, the man who had gone inside actually came back out.
“Daddy~”
Sheng Xi turned his head and called out politely.
But the other two little ones each held a large chicken drumstick, their small eyes blinking at this daddy, yet they said nothing.
Yin Hehe was the same.
In the end, it was Aunt Ke who timely appeared again.
“Xiaohan, quick, serve a bowl of sweet soup for the young master. He hasn’t eaten anything tonight.”
“… Oh.”
Yin Hehe finally got up and filled a bowl with purple rice and taro balls for this man.
“Mr. Sheng, please eat. I had no idea you would come back for dinner tonight, so we only prepared these,” she said.
“It’s fine.”
The man’s tone was unexpectedly mild as he pulled out a chair and sat down.
Yin Hehe: “…”
She had said that he couldn’t possibly recognize her. Otherwise, she, Yin Hehe, wouldn’t have been treated by him with such calm and equanimity.
She also took her seat and picked up a spoon.
“Uncle, does it taste good? This is a strawberry flavored pudding my mommy made. It’s really delicious, and you can’t buy it outside.”
Just as Yin Hehe sat there feeling uncomfortable, Little Bun had already boldly crawled over to him.
Her little arms and legs flailing, as soon as she got in front of daddy, she placed her chubby little hands on the table, her round little head tilting as she looked up at daddy.
Yin Hehe felt as if her breathing had stopped!
“Youyou, you…”
“Hmm, not bad,” to her surprise, the man actually responded.
He took a bite with the white porcelain spoon in his hand, and though he seemed very tired, after Little Bun came over, he still took a bite in front of her.
Little Bun was happy.
She clapped her little hands and quickly ran back to her seat. After finishing her meal in no time, she went out to play with her brothers.
“Mr. Sheng, I apologize for the children’s behavior. What would you like to eat? I can go make it for you now,” Yin Hehe offered, seeing that the children had all left.
She definitely wouldn’t believe that this man still enjoyed these childish things. She was already grateful that he had accommodated the little one’s feelings.
However, to her surprise, the man shook his head.
“No need, this is indeed refreshing and cooling. It helps to calm the fire,” he said.
“…”
Yin Hehe finally had nothing to say.
She started to gather the dishes the children had finished with, intending to get up, but the man suddenly called out to her.
“I have a question for you. In a joint-stock company, if the decision-maker causes a loss, and they were to be held accountable, how many years is typically the sentence?”
“What?”
Yin Hehe immediately sat down again.
Was he seeking her opinion? That was indeed rare.
But couldn’t he be a bit more ambitious? Straight away asking how many years the sentence could be—was all her hard work in rescuing him from the International Court only to have him end up in jail here?
“In a joint-stock company, from my past experience, the decision-maker shouldn’t be the sole person deciding on a matter, right?”
“What do you mean?”
“Shareholder standard contracts, that is, when faced with a major decision, the decision-maker proposes a plan, and then it must be agreed upon by more than 70% of the shareholders before it can be carried out, no?”
Yin Hehe said casually, sitting back in her chair.
The man was stunned!
What kind of bullshit is that? Sheng Siyuan’s decisions have always been his own to make.
But is this woman trying to tell him, if he’s going to hell, he might as well drag those people with him?
A vicious twitch tugged at the corner of his eye, and in an instant, the gloom that had been oppressing him all day vanished without a trace. He simply couldn’t put his feelings into words.
“Lawyer Lan, should I consider bringing you to Shengshi?”
“Why?!!”
“Because then I wouldn’t have to work anymore, okay? Do you know how long this issue has been bothering me today? You just casually solve it with one sentence, what more do you want?”
He actually started cursing directly, his expression as if his dignity had been trampled on the ground and rubbed in, even the grating sound of his teeth could be heard.
Yin Hehe’s eyes widened in astonishment.
“What are you saying, Mr. Sheng? Everyone has their field of expertise. For instance, how many people in the world can match your business acumen? Why belittle yourself over something that’s not your strength?”
“…”
With that, he felt completely refreshed.
The man stood up, ready to go back and rest.
“However, you should seriously consider what I just said. Your data is already exposed in M country, so I believe it won’t be long before your father’s Tulan Society comes knocking. If you were in Shengshi, he wouldn’t have the guts to come here looking for you.”
Suddenly, the man stopped again at the stairway, turned, and looked at her; very seriously, he brought up the matter once more.
Yin Hehe: “…”
No, she still had another choice.
That was to stop being a lawyer altogether, to abandon the name Lan Yi, and with her two children, to just become an ordinary person in the crowd.
That wouldn’t be too bad.
Yin Hehe watched the man go upstairs, and before long, after taking care of the three children and getting them nestled in their room, she also returned to the backyard.
A good night’s sleep.
The next day, when she woke up and went to the main building, Aunt Ke told her that Sheng Siyuan had already gone to the company.
“Why is the young master going so early today?”
Aunt Ke was puzzled.
Only Yin Hehe knew in her heart that the man went to the company early because of the insight she had given him last night; naturally, he would go to the company earlier to deal with those shareholders.
Yin Hehe went to the kitchen.
After breakfast, she planned to take her son and daughter to meet their uncle.
Little Bun had grown so much, yet hadn’t yet met his uncle.
Yin Hehe left Shengfei Bay.
But it was at noon that day, while she and her children were happily staying at Emperor Noble Manor, that her brother Yin Beixiao suddenly returned, telling her shocking news.
“There’s trouble at Shengshi. Several shareholders have posted declarations on the internet platform, seeking to transfer and sell their shares.”
“What did you say?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Yin Hehe, who had been playing with the children, changed color and stood up abruptly.
“How could this happen? Didn’t he manage to suppress those shareholders today?”
“Suppress?” Yin Beixiao detected an undertone in her words.
“Did you give him any advice?”
“Yes, he came back last night, apparently having been pressured by the board of directors, so he sought my opinion. I told him that, according to the shareholder agreement of the company, shareholders are also responsible for strategic mistakes.”
Yin Hehe said with an extremely pale face.
Hearing this, Yin Beixiao, also a businessman, immediately grasped the situation over at Shengshi.
“It seems the person behind this became enraged after seeing Sheng Siyuan’s countermeasure. Knowing they can’t make Siyuan step down through conventional means, they’ve resorted to the most ruthless gambit!”
“To disband the board?”
“Yes, if Siyuan wants to save Shengshi, he’ll have to buy back all the shares from the shareholders himself. Otherwise, if those shares fall into others’ hands, Shengshi would truly no longer belong to him.”
Yin Beixiao analyzed this ruthlessly from the perspective of a businessman.
Yin Hehe’s eyes were ice cold!
Chapter 147: Chapter 147 He is the most ruthless one! Chapter 147: Chapter 147 He is the most ruthless one! Yin Hehe ultimately began to pay attention to the matter.
Perhaps, as a lawyer, her years of professional belief had made it impossible for her to ignore such shameless scoundrels.
Yin Hehe took the child back to Shengfei Bay.
“Aunt Ke, will Mr. Sheng be back tonight?”
“I’m not sure, oh, what’s up? Miss Han, are you looking for the young master for something?”
The moment Aunt Ke heard she was looking for her young master, she immediately asked with a smile.
Yin Hehe quickly averted her gaze.
“No…Nothing, it’s just that it’s almost time to make dinner, and if it’s like last night where he suddenly comes back to eat, and we haven’t prepared his portion, wouldn’t that be very troublesome?”
She quickly found an excuse.
Yet, upon hearing her words, the old maid who was just smiling in front of her immediately displayed a very serious expression.
“He probably won’t be back tonight, I heard there’s been a bit of trouble at the company.”
“Is that so?” Yin Hehe was rather surprised. “What happened?”
“I’m not too clear on the details, only heard that those old bastards are bullying our young master, even the old lady passed out from anger. I went there this afternoon.”
As Aunt Ke talked about this, she became furiously livid.
Yin Hehe pursed her lips, and after a moment, she continued to ask, “Did the old patriarch go over to the company?”
“Of course he did, otherwise, how could the young master handle those old bastards alone?”
“…”
Yin Hehe fell silent.
In her memory, the Sheng family patriarch was very capable; back then, he was able to suppress the turmoil and secure his son’s position.
So now, she shouldn’t need to worry.
Yin Hehe stopped concerning herself with the matter.
At night, her elder brother Yin Beixiao indeed sent her a message.
“Xiaohe, Sheng Siyuan does have some tricks up his sleeve; he actually acquired the shares of two shareholders at half the market price, scaring the other shareholders into retracting their statements.”
“Really?”
She couldn’t help but reveal a trace of surprise in her eyes.
“So he can actually make purchases?”
“Of course, he’s the major shareholder, he has the right of first refusal. As long as he makes an offer, even if it’s a low price, the other shareholders must sell.”
After Yin Beixiao had explained for a while, he sent a kowtowing emoji in the chat.
Yin Hehe felt a twitch at the corner of her eye.
It seems her worries were a bit redundant; thinking that just because she had saved this man once, she could treat the fierce tiger like a sick cat. With her modest abilities, in the face of his major crises, she wasn’t worth mentioning at all.
Yin Hehe turned off her phone and completely stopped caring about the situation, making sure the three children were taken care of and asleep.
She then went back to the small courtyard to rest.
But on this very night, she did not know that in the high-rise building at the city center, the lights on the top floor never went off the entire night.
“It’s been made clear now, it turns out that your uncle’s wife is the illegitimate sister of Lan Tingyu from Provincial City.”
In the brightly lit office, where the old Mr. Sheng had stayed the entire day, after the turmoil of the day had finally come to an end, he said, heavily leaning on his cane, such information.
Xu Guannan’s face changed on the spot.
“Lan Tingyu? Isn’t that the top official of Provincial City?” he looked towards the man sitting at the desk.
But he realized that this person’s expression had become particularly ugly from the moment he heard the name.
“Correct, it’s him. He’s long been eyeing a move to the capital. I suspect that intervening on behalf of your uncle’s family, he has been contemplating using Shengshi Group as a stepping stone for entering the capital.”
The old patriarch explained once again.
The moment the words fell, not to mention Xu Guannan, even the other few shareholders who supported Sheng Siyuan in the office were furious to the point of hopping mad.
“This old beast, he actually dares to have such audacious ideas!”
“Exactly, such a big appetite, Lan Tingyu really dares to dream. Isn’t he afraid of gorging himself to death by bursting first?”
Everyone was cursing.
Only Sheng Siyuan, sitting at his office desk, appeared terrifying after hearing all this.
But comparatively, his reaction was quite calm.
“So, you’re saying the battle isn’t over yet. Guess what he’s going to do next? And which dog is Peng Geng to him?”
He asked slowly and deliberately, showing no sign of panic that the issue was not yet resolved.
The old man and others in the office immediately looked over at him.
“We haven’t figured out Peng Geng yet, but for sure, Lan Tingyu won’t just let it go. He’s finally caught you at a time when you’re greatly weakened.”
The old man specifically used the term “greatly weakened” to describe his son’s current state.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Siyuan curled his lips and laughed.
“You’re right. So, why should your son just sit and wait to be hit? Isn’t it better to take the initiative to annihilate the enemy?”
“What do you mean?”
“Spend more money. Since he’s so eager to climb to the capital, let Shengshi Group send him a big gift by greasing all the right palms there. What do you all think?”
No one could have expected that this man, lounging with his legs crossed at the office desk, would come up with such a ruthless idea.
The old man was so shocked he couldn’t utter a word.
The others gaped at him as well, their expressions frozen for more than ten seconds.
That was too harsh, too vicious.
But it didn’t end there. Upon seeing their expressions, the man considered the situation very carefully again.
“Right, no need to send anything to those above the ministerial level. It wouldn’t help him, Lan Tingyu is not at that level yet.”
“!!!!!”
Everyone in the office started coughing violently.
It wasn’t for any other reason than that the statement had hit them so hard, they almost couldn’t catch their breath.
That’s just too damn ruthless!
The matter thus came to a perfect end. When leaving the company, the old man, leaning on his cane, watched his son depart, not sure whether to feel relieved or worried, and he sighed deeply.
“What is it? Old man, do you disagree with the young master’s solution?”
Xu Guannan, who was responsible for taking him back, noticed and hurriedly asked.
But the old man shook his head.
“No, I just think he’s too reckless. This attitude of not taking anyone seriously, I’m afraid it’ll backfire on him someday.”
“…”
Xu Guannan fell silent.
He thought to himself, hasn’t the young master always been like this?
“By the way, is that nanny still living in Shengfei Bay? What exactly is going on between her and that brat?”
All of a sudden, the old man brought up Yin Hehe.
Xu Guannan’s face changed immediately.
“Actually, it’s nothing. The young master just saved her in the U.S. because she took care of young master Cen Bao.”
“Really?” In the darkness, the old man’s eyes suddenly gleamed.
“But how come I heard that the damn fool stayed in the U.S. for a month because she was in the hospital with serious injuries and unconscious? And also, that he bought that villa because of her?”
“…”
Xu Guannan was so scared he couldn’t say a word.
Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Is He Feeling Wronged?! Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Is He Feeling Wronged?! “Old Master, I’ll give you a hint, but don’t tell the CEO it was me who said it.”
“Spit it out!”
The old master was already getting impatient.
Seeing this, Xu Guannan had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, “Her real identity is actually Lan Yi.”
“What did you say?”
The old master finally stood there, stunned!
“Lan Yi? Are you talking about the attorney Lan Yi who saved my son at the International Court?”
“Yes!” Xu Guannan went all out.
“She was originally close friends with Miss Yin… not a nanny at all. She saved him overseas this time because of her friendship with Miss Yin.”
“…”
“And it is for this reason that she was pursued by the military of Country M, and by the time the CEO found her, she was already gravely injured. Old Master, tell me, how could the CEO just abandon her after such a favor?”
Xu Guannan finally laid out everything that had happened in Country M.
As he reached the last sentence, he looked earnestly at the old master and asked a question back.
The old master was at a complete loss for words.
He had not expected this simple nanny to possess such a shocking identity.
It seemed he had to go and see her.
—
Early morning.
Shengfei Bay.
The golden sun rose from the east, and in an instant, the splendid morning light shone on the estate, illuminating every corner.
Yin Hehe was up.
She pushed open the bedroom door and saw that Auntie Ke’s room next door was already empty. She then went downstairs to help out in the main building.
“Why are you still sleeping here?”
The man’s clear and slightly indifferent voice suddenly came from behind, startling her.
“Mr. Sheng? You… so early?”
She looked in surprise as he walked out of the villa behind her.
That was the secondary building.
Its location was just behind the small courtyard, which was built in this place for the convenience of the domestic workers.
Yet she saw the man, dressed in light gray lounge clothes, hands casually in his trouser pockets, his refined and handsome features carrying a hint of laziness. Seeing her, he walked over indifferently.
“What’s early about it?”
He snorted coldly, “Haven’t you noticed that you’ve overslept?”
“…”
Yin Hehe had no reply.
It was only 7:30, and he said she had overslept?
But then again, for a CEO like him who is busy with a myriad of things, getting up before dawn was indeed his daily routine.
“I asked you a question. Why aren’t you answering?”
The man saw her silence and asked again, clearly impatient.
Yin Hehe: “…”
Not really wanting to answer the question, she eventually responded evasively, “I’m used to sleeping here; it’s quite nice.”
“Used to it?” He scoffed coldly.
“You’ve only been here for a short time and you’re talking about habits. Are you waiting for me to personally invite you over?”
Suddenly, he stood there and said this in a very displeased tone.
Upon hearing this, Yin Hehe finally felt a spark of anger.
“How would I dare to trouble Mr. Sheng with such a matter? I’m just worried that if your fiancée, Miss Lin, comes back and sees that I’ve moved to her side of the house, she will surely be mad.”
She finally blurted out the reasons why she was unwilling to return in the past, with a cold sneer hanging at the corner of her mouth.
The man was at a loss for words.
He stood there, his handsome face alternating between pale and flushed—it was quite a spectacle.
This damned woman!
So, what she meant now was that she blamed him for giving another woman the villa in front? Then why didn’t she consider that he had never let anyone touch the room she once stayed in?
The man’s expression became utterly dark.
“Haha, you are so worried about making her angry, then why don’t you say that the ground you’re stepping on now is where she has walked, the air you breathe in Shengfei Bay has been breathed by her too?”
When he spoke, he was indeed extremely vicious.
He didn’t mention the house or the belongings, but instead he escalated it to something fundamentally irrefutable.
Air, land…
Yin Hehe’s complexion visibly paled at an alarming rate, even her lips lost all their color.
The man: “…”
“What you said… indeed, I’m sorry, Mr. Sheng, I’ve disturbed your life. It’s time for me to leave,” she said with an icy voice.
Those eyes, even in the brilliant light, had extinguished in an instant, looking at him without a trace of luster.
Sheng Siyuan’s mind went blank all of a sudden.
He wanted to say something, but the woman had already turned around and was walking briskly towards the courtyard they had just left.
Couldn’t she just relent?!
Finally, his fingers clenched fiercely, and he took a quick step to chase after her, reaching out and gripping her tightly!
“Ah—”
“What did I say wrong? I kindly allowed you and the children to stay together, and what? You find the house dirty and beneath the eye of Lawyer Lan. So what if I now retort a few words? Do I no longer even have the right to talk about you?”
He was so furious that the veins in his neck stood out one by one.
He questioned, he raged, he was so angry he gritted his teeth…
But in the end, even he didn’t realize that the emotion that actually dominated him the most at this moment was supposed to be grievance!
Yes, this damned woman.
Why can she now insult him freely, humiliate him, yet he can’t say a word of retort?
Why?!
Yin Hehe was completely stunned.
She was pulled forcefully towards him, and his tall figure loomed over her like a tower, causing her to freeze in fear, her whole body trembling non-stop.
“No… it’s not… ”
“Not what?” the man bellowed once more.
Immediately, Yin Hehe, who was caught in his hand, was pulled fiercely again and she collided with his chest, startling her so much she had to look up at him.
Even her pupils shook violently!
“No… it’s not about not having the right to speak, you… do as you wish,” she said.
She was close to tears, having never seen such a terrifying side of him, she forgot what she was even saying.
Fortunately, after she spoke, the man, who had been seething with rage, did not explode further.
He looked down at her, his eyes still crimson behind his glasses, like a fierce beast that had finally been pacified, each breath chilling to the core.
“Listen to me carefully, my patience is limited. If you continue to test my limits like this over and over again, I won’t rule out taking certain measures against you,” he said.
He gripped her waist tightly, the grinding of his teeth in his eyes like a predator clutching a lamb in its jaws.
If she did not behave…
He would surely tear her apart and swallow her whole.
Fear filled Yin Hehe’s eyes, and only after the tyrant finally let her go and walked away did she snap out of it and with a ‘thud’ fell seated on the ground.
Does he actually have a split personality?
Chapter 149: Chapter 149: The further away from him, the better! Chapter 149: Chapter 149: The further away from him, the better! Yin Hehe eventually moved out of the small courtyard.
However, this time, she didn’t go to the main building but was led by a servant to pick a room in a secondary building at the back.
“Xiaohan, the young master said you will live in this building from now on. Choose a room,” the servant told her.
“…”
Yin Hehe really didn’t want to speak.
What kind of madness was that damned man under? Why did he insist on her moving out of the small courtyard?
He must think she was unwilling to go to the main building.
And that she would like to move here, next to him? Ridiculous!
Yin Hehe lingered in the building for a long time before finally choosing the room she used to sleep in.
“You’re picking this one?”
Aunt Ke’s face changed when she saw this.
Yin Hehe looked at her, “What’s the matter? Can’t I live here?”
Aunt Ke immediately showed a hesitant expression on her face.
“Xiaohan, I won’t keep secrets from you. This bedroom, in fact, belonged to our former young madam. As you know, the young master never liked the young madam, and for so many years, he never let anyone come in to clean this room. So, if you were to live here…”
“You mean to say, if I move in here, your young master will definitely hate me too?”
Yin Hehe suddenly caught the underlying message and immediately, her eyes, dim all day, lit up.
“Then good, I’ll take this room!”
“What?”
Aunt Ke’s eyes widened as if they were made of brass bells.
That very afternoon, Yin Hehe happily moved into that room, and when the children heard about it, they all ran over.
“Mommy, Cen Bao also wants to live here with you,” one of them said.
“Me too, I want this room!”
Youyou and Cen Bao, seeing mommy moving over, also quickly scrambled to pick out rooms close to their mom’s.
Before long, they were bringing their toys into their new rooms.
Sheng Xi quietly dragged over a pillow as well.
The news reached Shengshi Group, and the man who just finished his meeting and returned to his office heard it. He strode over to the luxurious office chair behind his desk and sat down, a proud sneer tracing his thin lips.
“What good is being a great lawyer? Still managed to be tamed just the same,” he sneered.
Xu Guannan: “…”
That smile did not look as if it was born of a good deed.
“President, the matters on that end have been taken care of. Now everyone in the capital knows that Lan Tingyu has sent gifts over, except for those on the list in your hands.”
“Well done, very good work indeed,” the man responded as he looked at the list in his hand, feeling even better.
He was very much looking forward to seeing how the influential people on this list would react to the revelation that they didn’t receive any of the gifts meant for them.
The man contentedly closed the folder.
Two hours later, when Peng Geng and a gracefully poised woman were about to leave a teahouse, planning to find other shareholders of their company to discuss their next move, he suddenly received a phone call.
“It’s bad news, my dad has just been taken away,” the voice on the other end said.
“What did you say?” Peng Geng’s face drastically changed as he took the call from the young master of the Lan Family.
“It’s true, my dad was just at home when suddenly people came in, and then they took him away.”
Lan Yufeng had never been so panicked before, even his voice was trembling over the phone.
Peng Geng felt as though he had been struck by lightning.
After more than a minute, he finally asked over the phone, “Do you know what happened?”
Lan Yufeng: “I don’t know, my mom is making calls right now. Peng Geng, my dad got in this mess only because he was helping your son, you must not abandon him!”
He even emphasized it again at the end.
Peng Geng’s hand limply fell to his side.
Indeed, this was the biggest secret he harbored—Sheng Huainan didn’t actually have the surname Sheng.
It was Peng!
Peng Geng left with unsteady steps.
He wanted to figure all this out and then find a way to save the situation, but events unfolded too quickly. In less than an hour, someone had already leaked the news on social media that Lan Tingyu had been arrested.
“My God, how could he be arrested? His status is so noble!”
“Just trying to climb up the ladder.”
“This is terrifying. I thought he was a good person, but it turns out they’re all such scum!”
“…”
In just a few minutes, the internet was filled with curses.
And this news was directly pushed to the top trending searches. By the time Peng Geng checked, it was already too late; even the Lan Family had been sealed off in Provincial City.
“This must be Sheng Siyuan’s doing. Otherwise, who would have the financial power to bribe so many people at once!”
The Sheng Huainan household was in complete chaos.
Yet, he himself was not foolish and immediately guessed that this was Sheng Siyuan’s masterpiece and began to curse vehemently.
Seeing this, his mother nearly fainted from anger.
“Peng Geng, my brother and his family are now locked up. If you get them out, I swear I will expose our dirty past and ensure you end up with nothing in Shengshi Group!”
This woman was furious to the extreme and even threatened Peng Geng with her phone up on the top floor.
Peng Geng, upon hearing this, nearly had an aneurysm on the spot.
What dirty past did he have with her? In reality, she was flirtatious—first with him, and then scoffing at him for merely being a worker at Shengshi.
After that, she turned around and threw herself into the arms of Sheng Huainan’s father.
After all, he had the surname Sheng, didn’t he?
Peng Geng hung up and sat at home, head drooping, as though he had aged ten years overnight.
—
One week later.
The Shengshi Group, which had finally settled down, was back on track, and the atmosphere in Shengfei Bay had also relaxed significantly.
“Xiaohan, I am going to the supermarket to buy some seafood. The young master said he will come back for dinner tonight.”
“Hehe…”
Yin Hehe’s expression grew increasingly irritable.
What do you mean tonight?
This entire week, that damn man had come home for dinner every day.
Not only did he come home for dinner, but he would then go to work in his study, which was right next door to her room.
This resulted in her having to avoid him every day and wait until he turned off the lights before she could sneak in.
An entire week!!
She was suffering like a giant panda.
Yin Hehe decided to take her daughter and stay at her brother’s for a few days.
“Beep beep——”
“Why does the old master have time to come over today?”
The servants of Shengfei Bay, hearing the car horn, rushed out to find that it was the Sheng Family’s patriarch who had come.
Yin Hehe had no choice but to stay.
“Xiaohan, how have you been lately? Are you feeling better?”
Unexpectedly, after the patriarch arrived in the living room, he directly sought her out to inquire after her health.
Yin Hehe quickly nodded: “I am fine now, thank you, patriarch.”
“No need for formalities. In fact, I should thank you. If it hadn’t been for your assistance in the International Court, saving my son, I would probably be mourning the loss of a child by now.”
Out of the blue, the old man came out with this statement.
Yin Hehe was stunned!
Who the hell has been running their mouth now? Was it that dog son of his?
Chapter 150: Chapter 150: She Wants to Become the Mistress of This Place? Chapter 150: Chapter 150: She Wants to Become the Mistress of This Place? “Old Master, you… don’t listen to their nonsense,” the person who saved Mr. Sheng was actually a lawyer surnamed Yin.”
Yin Hehe immediately denied it.
But the Old Master, seeing her denial, laughed heartily.
“No need to be nervous, I won’t spread this around,” he said. “I just think that it’s a lucky thing for my son to have met you. Xiaohan, could you come to the old mansion tonight for a simple meal? Consider it showing respect to this old man.”
Suddenly, the Old Master stood up and invited her with a very solemn tone.
Yin Hehe was taken aback by the honor.
“How could I? Old Master, I… I’m just a nanny.”
“What nanny? In my eyes, everyone is equal. As long as she has been kind to my Sheng Zhong, she is a guest of honor in my house!”
He waved his hand generously and laughed boisterously.
Yin Hehe was stunned for a moment.
She suddenly remembered the two years she had been married into the Sheng Family.
Indeed, during those two years, this Old Master was the only one who cared for her, never treating her with disdain because she was a transactional bride.
On the contrary, when he saw her managing the household frugally and taking good care of his son, he always treated her quite well. Sometimes, when Sheng Siyuan neglected her and treated her badly, he would be sternly reprimanded by the Old Master.
So, after all these years, Yin Hehe still remembered the Old Master’s kindness.
In the end, Yin Hehe agreed.
Accompanied by her two children, she got into the Old Master’s car and headed to the old mansion, leaving the onlookers in Shengfei Bay utterly dumbstruck with envy.
“That nanny is incredible, now even the Old Master has come to invite her to dine at the old mansion.”
“Yeah, she might actually become the lady of the house, huh?”
A servant said with undeniable envy.
As soon as the words left their mouth, they were scornfully rebutted by another female servant.
“How is that possible? She’s just a nanny, and not even a pretty one at that. What makes her think she can become the lady of the house?”
“What’s wrong with being a nanny? It’s this nanny who’s earned the right to live on the second floor. Even the former Miss Lin didn’t have that privilege, did she?”
“Exactly, and she lives on the same floor as the young master no less.”
Upon hearing this, the two servants who started the discussion also swiftly retorted back.
In an instant, the first servant’s face turned green with envy.
Before long, everyone dispersed, and the resentful servant went back to their room, picking up a phone.
“Hello, Miss Lin, Xiaozhang here. I have something to tell you. The Old Master came over to invite that nanny for a meal today.”
“What did you say?”
Upon receiving the call, Lin Shuang’s voice immediately changed.
“Why? When did that little wretch charm the Old Master on her side?”
“That I don’t know, but there’s another thing — the young master has also let her move to the second floor, and she even chose the room that the former lady used to live in.”
The gossip-hungry servant couldn’t resist adding fuel to the fire.
The former lady?
In that instant, the woman on the phone contorted her whole face in outrage!
“How dare she? I’ve spent so many years in Shengfei Bay, and I never even had the right to enter that building. Why should that wench get to live there?”
She smashed her phone down and began to scream hysterically.
Lin’s mother heard the commotion from downstairs and hurried up.
“What happened? Who has upset you again?” She rushed to the doorway in a panic.
But as soon as she arrived, a wild woman with disheveled hair lunged toward the window, frightening her so much she nearly rolled down the stairs again.
“Shuangshuang, you—”
“Let me out, I want to go and chop that bitch to pieces!”
The woman, already driven mad, screamed with bloodshot eyes in the room.
Lin’s mother shuddered yet again.
“Whose life do you want to take? I’ve always said not to give you the phone. Look at what you’ve seen? If you don’t behave properly, the Sheng Family will never come to take you back!”
After calming herself, Lin’s mother picked up the smashed phone from the ground and spoke with a sharp tone.
Indeed, this was the reason why the Lin Family hadn’t yet released her.
Originally, the woman had used Sheng Xi as leverage, forcing Sheng Siyuan to bring her back here. They had thought he might punish her or confine her in Shengfei Bay.
But in the end, he simply left her at the Lin Family’s place and walked away.
Of course, Lin Shuang was overjoyed.
However, Lin’s father quickly realized something: Siyuan’s indifference by just dumping her off at the Lin’s and walking away could very likely be conveying a message that his daughter was no longer of any importance.
Thus, he decided to confine this troublemaker himself.
But now, she was even talking about killing someone?
Lin’s mother trembled with rage.
Soon after, Lin’s father also came up and saw the scene, erupting in fury.
“What madness is this now? Do you want all the efforts of these years to go to waste?”
“It’s all been a waste long ago!” Lin Shuang immediately started screaming hysterically in the room.
“That whore, that damn maid, she’s moved into Yin Hehe’s room, and she even went to the old manor to have dinner. Your daughter has no chance now!!”
“…”
Lin’s father paused for a moment.
“This maid has such clout? To have Sheng Zhong invite her to dinner? That’s not reasonable.”
“What do you mean?”
Lin’s mother immediately asked.
Lin’s father furrowed his brow and began analyzing, “Sheng Zhong isn’t someone who casually invites people to dinner, unless it’s someone very important to him.”
“Very important?” Lin’s mother showed a hint of confusion.
“What’s so important about a maid?”
“Therefore, the crux of the problem now lies here. Besides, didn’t you just say? She’s also moved into Yin Hehe’s room. That’s also taboo for Sheng Siyuan. Why would a maid be allowed to live there?”
Indeed, the old man proved himself to be the strongest brain of the Lin Family; within just a few sentences, he extracted the most critical information.
Once Lin Shuang heard this, she finally quieted down in the room.
She remembered the investigation she was pursuing.
“Dad, you should also pay a visit to the Sheng Family’s old manor.”
“What do you mean?” Lin’s father immediately turned back to look at her.
But he found that his daughter, once calmed down, seemed like a completely different person, a chilling glint suddenly appearing in her eyes.
“Go and look at her face. I heard that she was badly hurt when she was in the clinic in the U.S., take a good look at how well she has recovered now?”
The woman, like a poisonous snake, became utterly calm, and each word she spoke was chilling to the bone.
Lin’s father looked at her.
After a moment, he finally didn’t say anything and turned to go downstairs.
These days, because of her troubles, he did indeed visit the Sheng Family’s old manor quite often.
