Ch. 166..170: Mr CEO Ex-wife Escapes Again Chapter 166-170
Chapter 166: Chapter 166 Disappearance Chapter 166: Chapter 166 Disappearance Yin Hehe finally made it to the end of her morning shift at work.
“Xiaohan, Xiaohan, come out quickly, I’ll take you out for lunch after we clock out.”
“Okay.”
Yin Hehe, who was already starving, saw Hu Xinxin running outside to find her and immediately shut down her computer and came out.
“How’s it going? Was work smooth today?”
“It was okay,” Yin Hehe replied with a forced thumbs-up.
She hadn’t done this type of menial work in many years, and just one morning of it had left her with a bit of a sore back.
The two of them reached the elevator doors.
“Ding!”
“… President… President?”
To their surprise, the doors opened to reveal the imposing CEO inside.
Hu Xinxin instantly became so unsteady she could barely stand.
Yet Yin Hehe, after a look, calmly strode in.
Hu Xinxin: “…”
Chen Xiaosen: “…”
It wasn’t until the elevator doors had closed that Yin Hehe slowly turned her head to look at the man behind her who had frightened her coworker into silence.
“Mr. Sheng, are you always this intimidating?” she asked.
“Heh~~” A cold snort made the atmosphere in the elevator even more chilling.
The situation left Chen Xiaosen, the secretary, in a dilemma, not knowing whether to explain or remain silent.
After all, this was clearly the CEO’s private elevator!
Fortunately, the man did not lose his temper and allowed the elevator to stop on the first floor.
“Miss Han, since this is your first time at the company, do you know where to go for lunch?”
“Ah?”
As Yin Hehe prepared to leave, a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.
“Aren’t we going out to eat?”
“No, the company has a cafeteria, on the third floor,” Chen Xiaosen reminded her once again.
Yin Hehe fell silent.
Because she had just realized something— the elevator hadn’t stopped at the third floor at all.
Moreover, it seemed like there wasn’t even a button for the third floor!
“Never mind, I’ll just go outside to eat, thank you.”
She waved her hand and left in an awkward manner.
But just as she stepped out, she heard a man’s cold sneer come from the not fully closed elevator: “Idiot!”
“!!!!”
She barely resisted the urge to rush back into the elevator and give him a piece of her mind.
Crazy!
After Yin Hehe left, it didn’t take long for her to find a very elegant Western restaurant in the nearby plaza and take a seat.
“A gourmet steak and a truffle soup, thank you.”
She casually ordered a couple of items and took out her mobile phone.
But as soon as she unlocked her screen, she saw a new email notification in her inbox.
[Yin Hehe, I see you’re not dead yet.]
The sudden appearance of those large characters nearly caused her phone to slip from her hands.
Who sent this?
Her complexion completely changed, and in a second, she felt as though she had plunged into an ice cellar, chilling to her very bones.
[Who are you?]
[Who I am isn’t important. What’s important is, do you want to see him?]
Unexpectedly, the reply from the anonymous sender was swift, and they sent an attachment along with it.
Upon seeing this, Yin Hehe promptly clicked to open the attachment.
“Xi Bao!!”
She lost control once again, and this time, her cry of alarm was heard even by the waitstaff of the Western restaurant.
“Miss, are you alright?” they immediately came over to inquire with concern.
Yin Hehe: “…”
It took a very long time, but she finally managed to suppress the anger and turmoil inside that was like a mighty wave.
She couldn’t lose her composure, not at this crucial time!
“Who are you really? Daring to kidnap the Sheng Family’s young master, are you not afraid of dying?”
She calmed herself and began to reply to the email while downloading the photo, preparing to immediately send it to the man in the company.
However, just as she was about to send it, she suddenly stopped.
No, this kidnapper had used her real name.
That meant he already knew her true identity. If she notified Sheng Siyuan like this, wouldn’t her own identity be exposed in the end?
No, she couldn’t send it to him.
She promptly deleted it, even her hands trembling as she did so.
“Of course, I’m afraid to die. So, Yin Hehe, if you come over, I can let the child go.”
Unexpectedly, the other party actually implied they didn’t wish to harm the child.
Yin Hehe’s heart settled somewhat at this.
If it wasn’t the child’s life they wanted, then they were clearly targeting her, Yin Hehe. If that was the case, things would be much easier to handle.
“Fine, where are you?”
“Yulongtan.”
Yulongtan? Wasn’t that the old dock? There were countless abandoned ships there now!
Yin Hehe’s brows that had just relaxed tightened once again.
She realized it was indeed an ideal place for murder; a body might never even be found after being killed there.
Yin Hehe left the Western restaurant.
Minutes later, Yin Beixiao at Baiqing Building received a phone call.
“Brother, I remember you learned reconnaissance in the military, right? I really need you now.”
“…”
—
Three o’clock in the afternoon.
It wasn’t until this time that Sheng Siyuan found out from the Legal Department that the woman hadn’t shown up for work all afternoon.
“President, Xiao Feng called and said he hasn’t seen Miss Xiaohan all afternoon, so he called to ask if she had gone home?”
Chen Xiaosen stood in front of the desk and said.
Gone home?
The man who had just returned from meeting clients, upon hearing this, didn’t even think before denying it.
“What home would she return to? I’m still here, did she just leave?”
“Then… where do you think she went? I remember when we finished work this morning, we went down together. Then she said she was going out to eat. Could it be… she couldn’t pay the bill and got detained?”
Suddenly, the secretary came up with this absurd possibility.
After all, she owed a billion.
But then he saw the man in front of him actually fell silent for a second after hearing this.
“Idiot, what are you still standing here for? Go find her quickly!”
“Right away, President!”
Chen Xiaosen immediately ran off like an excited little puppy.
And true enough, not long after he went out, when he returned, he actually had gathered some information.
“President, we found her last trace at the Reinecke Western Restaurant at the square. However, the waiters there say she ordered a meal but left in a panic before the food was even served.”
“Left? And in a panic?”
The man busy in front of his notebook, stopped at these words.
Chen Xiaosen immediately nodded.
“Yes, I’ve obtained the surveillance video from the restaurant too. Take a look.” He handed over his phone.
A few minutes later, the man finally saw the woman in the video indeed rushing out of the Western restaurant in a very panicked state.
His expression grew colder bit by bit.
In fact, a big reason why he had always tried to keep her from leaving was because he saw the assassination order issued by the military from M country against her.
They did not go through official channels.
Instead, it was released on the black market with a reward of ten million U.S. dollars. This kind of bounty for assassination was even more terrifying.
So, had those people now found her location?
“Snap!”
He finally closed his laptop, a murderous intent enveloping him.
Chapter 167: Chapter 167: A Hair’s Breadth Escape Chapter 167: Chapter 167: A Hair’s Breadth Escape Yulongtan.
In the mountains of abandoned ships, Yin Hehe had already been searching this place for three whole hours.
Yet, she still hadn’t seen a trace of the child.
The person behind the anonymous email seemed to be playing a game of hide-and-seek with her, deliberately luring her on.
[Where exactly is the child? If you don’t reveal his real location soon, I’m going to call the police!]
[Don’t rush.]
Within the inbox, this anonymous person received her message and replied with a casual tone.
[You’re already close to his location, but, Yin Hehe, how can I be sure you didn’t bring anyone with you?]
[…]
Yin Hehe gripped her phone tightly.
This person actually had some brains and had realized that she had brought backup.
She raised her hand to comb some disordered hair behind her ear, taking the chance to tap lightly on the tiny communicator in her ear.
Soon after, the footsteps that had been following her stopped.
That was her brother.
[I haven’t brought anyone, Lin Shuang. Really, the game should be over by now. Do you truly think the father of the child, Sheng Siyuan, wouldn’t have noticed his absence after so long?]
All of a sudden, she picked up her phone and sent this message with complete composure.
In an instant, after the email was sent, the other party fell into dead silence, with no response for a good four to five minutes.
Indeed, this anonymous person was Lin Shuang.
How exactly did Yin Hehe discover this? Actually, it’s quite simple; this scoundrel’s way of doing things was too familiar.
Five years ago, to take her down, she had been baiting her in the same manner as today.
She tormented her, humiliated her, yet deliberately refused to grant Yin Hehe a swift end, as if deriving a sense of vengeful pleasure from it.
If there was no mistake, the next move would be to use the child to threaten Yin Hehe into self-harm.
[Lin Shuang, I’m going to count to three, and if you don’t hand over the child, then wait for his father to come.]
Yin Hehe gave this woman a final ultimatum.
Just at this moment, her brother Yin Beixiao’s voice came through her earpiece: “Target locked, it’s in the blue ship ahead.”
It turned out that during these three hours, Yin Beixiao had persistently been investigating.
Yin Hehe smiled.
She slowly made her way towards the blue wrecked ship.
“Don’t come any closer!”
FInally, seeing that she had located the target, a woman burst out from the ship, looking like a madwoman. She pressed something forcefully and, abruptly, a small figure tumbled from the high-suspended sail of the ship.
“Wu~~~”
“Xi Bao!!” Yin Hehe’s eyes instantly filled with rage.
“Lin Shuang, you vile woman, I will kill you!”
She rushed forward without hesitation, trying to catch the child.
However, just when she thought the child was about to fall, suddenly, he was suspended in mid-air once again.
“Wu wu~~”
The four-year-old child immediately started trembling and sobbing with fear in mid-air.
Yin Hehe was going mad.
This wicked woman, this beast, she had to kill her today.
Looking up at the child, who wasn’t her own flesh and blood, her eyes surged with an intense murderous intent like never before.
“Xi Bao, don’t be afraid, Auntie is coming to save you now.”
She reassured him and then immediately started climbing onto the ship.
However, as she took a step, the child overhead let out a scream, and began to fall once again.
“Wu—”
“Xi Bao!!” Yin Hehe had no choice but to stop.
Her complexion was deathly pale, her eyes fiercely locked onto the boat, flooded with a bloody red hue.
“Lin Shuang, are you even human? He’s your own son; how can you treat him like this without fearing retribution?”
“Retribution?”
Unexpectedly, the woman above actually burst into laughter.
“What retribution can I possibly have? I raised him until now; if he can help me this once, then it’s his way of repaying me.”
“What did you say? Repay?” Yin Hehe trembled with rage all over again.
“Yes, repay. Yin Hehe, you really want to save him, don’t you? Fine, then exchange your life for his.”
After this woman finally threw down a dagger, she said this sentence with a fierce and terrifying look.
“Whimper~~~”
However, as soon as those words were spoken, and before Yin Hehe could react, the child above her burst into desperate sobs.
He shook his little head vigorously, refusing to let Yin Hehe proceed with the act.
Yin Hehe saw this and quickly shook her head, she began to comfort the child: “It’s okay, Xi Bao, Auntie won’t let anything happen to you.”
“Wu—” Unexpectedly, the child cried even harder.
And at that moment, the piece of black tape on his little mouth actually came loose.
Suddenly, the abandoned dock, desolate and empty, was pierced by the raw, anguished cries of a child.
“Mommy, don’t!”
He actually… called her mommy.
Yin Hehe, who had just picked up the dagger, was stunned.
She looked up instinctively, only to find the woman on the deck had gone mad.
“You bastard, a wolf that can’t be raised, I will let you die right now!”
The woman then completely let go, and the child plummeted down right above Yin Hehe’s head.
“Xi Bao!!!”
A heart-wrenching scream tore through the air.
With her mind completely blank, Yin Hehe frantically rushed to catch the child like a madwoman.
However, she was still half a step too slow.
Just as the child was about to smash onto the ground alive, a tall figure in a suit and leather shoes appeared.
He jumped down from a height at breakneck speed, and at the very moment the child was falling, he swiftly grabbed his little leg. The child firmly landed on him.
And he crashed heavily onto the ground.
“Ugh—”
Listening to that muffled grunt, Yin Hehe stood frozen for a very long time, staring dazedly at the father and son.
Lin Shuang on the deck was also dumbfounded.
It was at that moment, a sharp dagger flew through the air, catching the woman off guard.
“Ah—”
The dagger plunged viciously into her body.
“A… Ayuan…”
She clutched at her profusely bleeding wound and collapsed. In that moment, her eyes finally filled with immense fear and despair.
And her hands reached desperately towards the man below.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t long before Yin Beixiao appeared behind her.
“Leaving you alive was the biggest mistake I, Yin Beixiao, ever made. Today, I will make sure you never reincarnate!”
His eyes bloodshot, he stomped fiercely on the sharp dagger embedded in the woman’s chest.
“Ah—”
This time, the venomous woman didn’t even get a chance to gasp.
Her blood gushed out in great spurts and her eyes, nearly bursting from their sockets, would never believe to her dying breath that this was Lin Shuang’s end.
Yin Hehe saw everything.
Suddenly, as if she had finally come to her senses, her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground, utterly spent.
Chapter 168: Chapter 168 You are also my mommy… Chapter 168: Chapter 168 You are also my mommy… Yin Hehe had a very long dream.
In the dream, she returned to five years earlier, when she used to keep Shengfei Bay pristine every day.
Then, she would sit in the garden swing, waiting for Sheng Siyuan to return every day.
“Madam, the young master just called.”
However, that evening Auntie Ke received a phone call and came looking for her again.
Watching all this, she sat on the swing, her thick and curled lashes hanging down, hiding the loss in the depths of her eyes.
He wouldn’t be coming back again.
“The young master said he wants to drink the fish soup made by Madam tonight, so you should go cook it.”
“…”
For a long time, Yin Hehe, who suddenly lifted her head while sitting on the swing, looked at the servant without being able to react.
But in her heart, joy was surging to the point it almost spilled out.
Thus, that evening, she devotedly made the most delicious fish soup in the kitchen.
And when she saw that man return, in the dusk where the lingering sun was like blood, he was walking towards her step by step…
It was an unprecedented gentleness.
“Hehe…”
“Ah!”
Yin Hehe finally woke up.
She sat up straight, frightening Sheng Siyuan, who was sitting in front of her bed, so much that he almost dropped the cup in his hand on the floor.
“You’re awake?”
In the end, he still asked with patience.
As a result, upon hearing his words, the woman who was still unsettled screamed again.
She wrapped herself in the quilt and shrank back.
Sheng Siyuan: “…”
Sick?
She looked as if she had seen a ghost.
Fortunately, at this moment, Shen Fang, dressed in a white coat, came in and saw the scene. He patted Sheng Siyuan’s shoulder.
“It’s normal for her to be a bit unsettled after such a terrifying accident,” he said.
“…”
Finally, the man “thud” placed the cup on the bedside table and fell silent.
Shen Fang: “By the way, your son woke up. Do you want to go see him?”
Sheng Siyuan: “…”
Without saying another word, he stood up.
Yin Hehe froze for a moment, then quickly realized and also climbed out of bed.
“I’ll go too.”
“…”
She’s back to normal that fast?
The man turned to look at her, but found that in just a short time, she had already reached his side.
“Dr. Shen, which room is he in?”
She didn’t even look at him but directly asked Shen Fang, who was standing next to Sheng Siyuan.
Shen Fang was taken aback: “He’s in Pediatric Room 304, but Miss Han, you just woke up. It’s better not to move around too much.”
“It’s okay,” Yin Hehe shook her head.
“Let’s go, Mr. Sheng, let’s go see Xi Bao together,” she said, forcefully restraining her urge to rush out and looking up at the man with feigned calm.
No one knew how much she wanted to see the child.
Mommy~~
She closed her eyes, and it was as if the earth-shattering cries of the child echoed in her mind again.
Yes, why was she so foolish?
She never thought about why that vile woman treated her own son with such malice. What was the real reason?
She thought she was unworthy of being a mother.
But she never considered that she wasn’t the mother of this child at all!
Yin Hehe nearly held her chest the entire way, just to maintain her composure as she arrived at the pediatric inpatient department.
“You don’t have to worry, he’s fine,”
Sheng Siyuan had been walking ahead and, hearing no sound from behind, he glanced over using the corner of his eye and said.
He was actually astonished.
He had not expected that this woman would risk her life to save a child who was not related to her.
Because this child was Sheng Siyuan’s?
As Sheng Siyuan stepped into the ward, his lips curved, lifting into a handsome arc.
“Xi Bao, you’re awake? Are you alright?”
Indeed, as soon as they reached the ward, the woman immediately sprang from behind him and rushed to the little one on the bed.
Sheng Siyuan: “…”
Is that much concern necessary?
This exceeded even that of his own father.
The man’s eyebrows finally furrowed with displeasure once again, not for any other reason than recalling the ghostly look on the woman’s face when she had woken up and seen him recently.
Same father and son, why such a big difference?
“It’s nothing.”
Sheng Xi lay in the bed, awkwardly stiff at first as his mommy embraced him, but he also unnaturally replied.
Why did he know that this woman was his mommy?
In fact, it was the bad woman who had told him to his face.
When that bad woman came to the school to find him at noon, he thought it was because she finally remembered her duty as a mother and came to see him.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he came out, the evil woman took him away.
“I’m not your mom, let me tell you, your real mom is Yin Hehe. When she gave birth to you, she ran away. She didn’t want you. I was the one who took you in.”
“…”
No one knew the enormity of the shock this four-year-old child experienced in the car when he heard those words.
His little face turned ghostly pale.
A pair of lovely little dark eyes reddened in an instant.
But the crazy woman kept going, saying, “So, I raised you all these years because I wanted to use you to get back at that b*tch. But you ungrateful thing, look at what you’ve done? She abandoned you, didn’t even breastfeed you, yet now you only have eyes for her!!”
She roared.
At that moment, her whole face was contorted.
As Sheng Xi recalled these events, his small body still shuddered on the bed.
Yin Hehe saw it and immediately held him tight again.
“Don’t be scared, auntie is here, auntie’s holding you, there won’t be any bad people anymore,”
she cooed beside his little ear.
But in reality, at that moment, she wanted so badly to say in his ear, not auntie, but mommy.
Yin Hehe teared up and closed her eyes.
Sheng Siyuan stood by without a peep; of course, he did not interrupt.
“President.”
Just then, Xu Guannan arrived outside the ward.
Seeing this, he came out of the ward, took out a cigarette to light it up, and the two went outside.
“President, Lin Huanqi and his wife ran off as soon as his daughter Lin Shuang escaped.”
“…”
Upon hearing this, the man’s handsome face immediately turned cold.
“He sure knows how to run fast.”
“Yes, actually, the Lin Family mainly relied on Lin Huanqi’s scheming. Lin Shuang suddenly making such a brainless move, Lin Huanqi certainly couldn’t escape death, so he had to run to avoid dragging himself down.”
As Xu Guannan spoke, his teeth itched with indignation.
He truly had not anticipated the callousness of Lin Huanqi. That was his daughter, and yet he could even abandon her.
“This person, cunning and ruthless, is a menace to keep around. Spend some effort to find him.”
“Yes.”
“Also, did you find the surveillance footage from that abandoned dock? What exactly did Lin Shuang say before she died? And why did Yin Beixiao suddenly decide to kill her?”
All of a sudden, his gaze sharpened, and an extremely dangerous and cold light burst forth from him.
Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Do You Want to Marry into the Sheng Family? Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Do You Want to Marry into the Sheng Family? Why did Yin Beixiao want to kill Lin Shuang?
Actually, it was quite simple. He didn’t want Sheng Siyuan to know the secret about Sheng Xi before Yin Hehe had made her decision.
This man, he could be certain, had discovered his sister’s true identity.
But as for the secret that Sheng Xi carried, this man probably didn’t know, so when he was at that abandoned dock and saw his sister’s moment of astonishment, panic, and helplessness…
He decisively chose to kill this woman first.
He hoped to give her time to think about this matter.
“Brother, are we sure Lin Shuang is dead?”
Sure enough, when Yin Beixiao came to the hospital that night, the first thing Yin Hehe said to him in the ward was this.
Yin Beixiao nodded, “Dead. I saw with my own eyes the police zipping her into a body bag and taking her away.”
This incident was deemed a violent kidnapping.
Thus, Yin Beixiao’s killing of Lin Shuang was defined as rescuing a hostage, and he didn’t have to bear any responsibility.
Yin Hehe let out a sigh of relief.
“That’s good, then I can rest assured.” She patted her chest, her whole person relaxing.
Yin Beixiao poured her a cup of warm water.
After a moment, when she had finished drinking, he stood by her hospital bed and asked, “So, what are your plans now? Since the child is also yours, are you still going to leave?”
“…”
That question was like something that fiercely pricked at this woman’s pain.
Her face turned even paler.
“I… I don’t know, brother, what do you think… if I take all three children and run, could I make it?”
In the end, she looked up with a snow-white face, so naively expressing such a thought.
Yin Beixiao let out a sigh.
“What do you think?”
“…”
“Xiaohe, actually I think you could consider staying. The thing from those years, it wasn’t your fault to begin with. You might as well be upfront about your identity to Sheng Siyuan, and then have an honest talk with him about this matter.”
In the end, Yin Beixiao still offered his advice.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he faced strong opposition from this woman!
“No, if he finds out who I am, I won’t just lose recognition from Xi Bao, he won’t let me see Cen Bao either. Brother, you don’t know how much he hates me. In Shengfei Bay, my name is taboo, whoever brings it up spills blood.”
“…”
“Also, if he finds out that the son he’s raised for so many years is also mine, do you think he could calmly accept it? Instead of strangling me on the spot?”
Yin Hehe pulled at the corner of her mouth, looking up at her brother with a whitened face filled with mockery.
Yin Beixiao fell silent.
Because, he didn’t know whether he should tell his sister that her identity had in fact been exposed to that man long ago.
And the hatred she mentioned, in the eyes of Yin Beixiao, was indeed like that five years ago.
But five years later, it seemed a bit different.
“Then decide for yourself, I will support whatever you choose anyways. Remember, no matter what happens, your brother will always be on your side.”
In the end, he could only warn her.
Yin Hehe, with tears in her eyes, was of course very grateful.
A peaceful night passed.
The next day.
She could finally be discharged from the hospital.
Yin Hehe had long since checked out of her own room and went to the children’s ward.
“Baby, still not awake?”
Upon entering the spacious and bright children’s ward, Yin Hehe immediately saw the small figure rolling back and forth in the bed with a little blanket.
Suddenly, she couldn’t help but smile and approached the little one’s bedside.
This child, due to the environment he grew up in, had a demeanor that was orderly and proper. Only when he was sleeping would he show his natural childlike tendencies, like his brother and sister.
Yin Hehe gently patted the little fellow.
And again, a wave of sadness welled up from the depths of her heart.
“Mommy…” Fortunately, it didn’t take long for the little one to feel the pat of Mommy’s hand on his body, and he woke up.
Yin Hehe immediately showed a smile.
“Awake now, I’m sorry, baby, but we have to be discharged from the hospital today, so Mommy came to wake you up,” she said.
“Okay.”
The little fellow immediately got up.
And if one looked closely at his little expression, they would find it was more radiant than ever before.
Just as mother and son had finished packing up, a grandfather’s hearty laughter also drifted in from outside.
“Hahaha… my dear grandson, are you feeling better? Grandpa has come to take you home today.”
It turned out to be Old Master Sheng’s arrival.
Upon sight of him, Yin Hehe immediately whispered a reminder into the ear of her freshly dressed son: “Baby, let’s not let them find out about our relationship for now, okay?”
The little fellow: “…”
Although he felt a bit aggrieved.
But since Mommy asked him to do it, the sensible child would surely comply.
“Xiaohan, you’re here too, just in time. I won’t have to look for you now. After the discharge, you should come back with me to the old house.”
The old man came in and was very happy to see Yin Hehe.
Yin Hehe was instantly flattered.
“Ah? No, that’s not necessary, Old Master. I still have to go to work.”
“What work? You saved my grandson, can’t you take a good rest for one day? Don’t worry, I’ll talk to that brat for you.”
The old master immediately interrupted her, and with a wave of his big hand, it was decided just like that.
Seeing this, Yin Hehe didn’t know what to say.
When Sheng Siyuan arrived, the man clad in a suit and carrying a business laptop, upon hearing that Yin Hehe and the child were going to the old house with him,
he surprisingly didn’t object either.
“Fine, I’ll come and pick you up after work.”
“…”
It wasn’t until the man left that Yin Hehe stood there, still dazed.
Was she really this free now?
Even going to the Sheng family’s old house, he was this magnanimous?
Yin Hehe followed the Old Master to the old house.
“Oh, my dear grandson, you are finally discharged. How are you feeling? You’re not hurt, right? Let grandma have a look.”
Just upon arriving at the old house,
the old lady, supported by the servants, rushed out excitedly and hugged Xi Bao, wiping tears away with much emotion.
The two elders were very kind to the child.
“I’m fine, Grandma.”
Sheng Xi also knew this and immediately responded obediently in his grandmother’s arms, despite not being talkative.
Only then did the old lady sigh with relief.
Yin Hehe stood by, watching.
Until the old lady straightened up, and her gaze immediately became rather cold as it fell upon Yin Hehe.
Yin Hehe: “…”
“What are you still standing there for? Xiaohan, come on in. Breakfast is ready; you must be hungry. Hurry up and take the child in to eat.”
The Old Master was quite enthusiastic towards her, calling her again when he saw her standing still.
Yin Hehe followed him in.
Indeed, when she reached the courtyard, she found that the table there, which was seldom used for meals, was now filled with a dazzling array of breakfast items, including delicate pastries and all kinds of delicious dishes…
Calling it breakfast,
It was more like a lavish morning feast.
“Please have a seat. There’s nothing fancy, I hope you won’t mind.”
As she sat down, the Old Master was still quite courteous.
Yin Hehe was even more overwhelmed by the honor.
Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Scold Him Too! Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Scold Him Too! Yin Hehe couldn’t easily refuse the hospitality and finished the breakfast.
As she put down her chopsticks and was about to help clean up, the old master called out to her again.
“Xiaohan, come, I’ll take you to see some calligraphy and paintings.”
“Ah?”
“What calligraphy and paintings? The grandson is back, and you don’t take him out to play. What’s the point of having him return?”
Before Yin Hehe could decline, the old lady had already started speaking frankly.
Only then did the old master give up the idea.
“Fine, I’ll first take Xixi out for a walk. Xiaohan, I’ll take you to see the calligraphy and paintings later.”
“Okay,” Yin Hehe quickly agreed.
When the grandfather and grandson left, Yin Hehe still took the initiative to start cleaning up the chaotic table.
“You really are something. You’ve barely been back long, and the child’s mother dies at your hands.”
“What?”
Yin Hehe immediately stopped and looked at the old lady in surprise.
But she found that in just the blink of an eye, the old lady’s face had turned very grim, and the gaze shooting out of those old eyes was filled with raging fury.
Yin Hehe: “…”
The old lady: “Did I say something wrong? Before you arrived, Lin Shuang was fine in our house. But as soon as you came, not only was she driven out of Shengfei Bay, she’s now dead. Tell me, isn’t this your conspiracy?”
Then she immediately followed with such an accusation.
After hearing this, Yin Hehe’s glazed-colored pupils turned somewhat cold as she looked at her.
“Old lady, I know you don’t like me, but I advise you not to speak recklessly. For the crime of murder, I cannot take the fall!”
After saying this coldly, she turned and left.
Seeing this, the old lady turned so angry at the back that her face almost turned green.
“If it wasn’t you, who else could it be? She called me when the accident happened, saying that she had discovered a shocking secret and would come to tell me after she finished dealing with it. But in the afternoon, she ended up dead at your hand, Han Lina, do you dare say this has nothing to do with you?”
She roared furiously from behind.
At that moment, with the old lady’s words landing, Yin Hehe, who had reached the door, finally changed her expression and stopped in her tracks.
This despicable person, to pull such a stunt?
Her mind was a bit in turmoil.
“Old lady, I don’t know what you’re talking about. If you really want to know the details of the incident, fine, I’ll find all the emails she sent me at that time and show them to you right now.”
Finally, she made a concession and took out her phone before turning back to face the old lady.
However, the old lady did not look at it at all.
“She’s dead now. Whatever she left you, it’s still you who has the last word. Han Lina, let me tell you, don’t think that by getting rid of Lin Shuang, you can marry into the Sheng Family. Even Yin Hehe, your previous master, was not good enough for our door, let alone you?”
Unexpectedly, the old lady changed her tone and started to curse Yin Hehe with a tone filled with contempt and disdain, her words extremely venomous.
In the end, to trample Yin Hehe, who was just a humble nanny, completely under her feet.
She even brought up the Yin Hehe from five years ago.
Yin Hehe’s fingers dug forcefully into the palm of her hand.
She’s not worthy?
Back then, she was the one who married into their Sheng Family because they came to her first!
“Old Madam Sheng, I think you’ve got one thing wrong. Miss Yin marrying your son was because you found out her bone marrow could save your son, right? Now you speak as though you’re so noble, but how could you have forgotten when you went to the Yin Family to beg with your old face repeatedly?”
“You—”
Finally, her words struck the old woman speechless.
But Yin Hehe had not finished. Completely enraged, the humiliation, frustration, and pain she had endured for years seemed to burst open.
They were thoroughly unleashed!
“Also, rest assured, I have no interest in your son. In this world, having Miss Yin as a scapegoat was enough. I, Han Lina, would rather pick a beggar off the street to marry than wed your son, whose heart is as cruel as a wolf’s and as cold as a dog’s!”
“You… You dare to insult my son? You… you…”
The old lady was almost killed by anger with that last sentence.
Yin Hehe left.
When they reached the front courtyard, they happened to bump into the old patriarch who had come upon hearing the noise.
“Xiaohan, what is this…”
“Old master, I’m sorry, but I won’t be coming here anymore. I’m afraid my feet are too lowly to taint the ground of your family’s home.”
After saying this, Yin Hehe took back her child from the old man and walked away.
In an instant, a fierce blaze of rage ignited in the old man’s eyes, and soon after, his thunderous roar of anger echoed throughout the estate.
“Mommy, I’m sorry!”
On the way back, as mother and son got into the car without speaking, the little one, hanging his head, mumbled this to the side.
Yin Hehe heard it and hurriedly pulled him into her embrace.
“Baby, you don’t need to apologize to me. This matter has nothing to do with you.”
“…”
“By the way, mommy wants to ask you, if mommy were to leave, would you want to go with mommy?”
She looked down at the little guy, finally posing the question.
“What?”
As soon as the words fell, the little one’s head shot up, gazing at her with his pretty, small ink-black eyes filled with shock and panic.
Yin Hehe fell silent.
Seeing this lack of joy on his face proved that the child didn’t want to follow her.
It made sense, he had been raised by his dad from a young age. Although that cheap woman, Lin Shuang, wasn’t good to him, his dad’s love for him was real. Asking him to leave so suddenly, he would surely find it hard to part.
“Don’t worry, mommy was just asking casually.”
Yin Hehe, worried that he might overthink, gently patted him while holding him in her arms.
But what she didn’t know was that her question had already caused the child to feel unsettled.
No, he must find a way to make mommy stay.
The mother and son returned to Shengfei Bay.
That evening, after Sheng Siyuan came back, he specifically sought out Yin Hehe to inquire about what happened at the old residence, but Yin Hehe glossed over it lightly.
“Mr. Sheng, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going back.”
Her attitude was somewhat cold.
The man who rarely took the initiative saw this and his handsome face immediately darkened.
“Are you getting impatient? What, now that you’ve saved my son, Sheng Siyuan’s son, you think you have a bargaining chip? Speaking to me with such a straight spine?”
“…”
Yin Hehe turned her head and looked at this man, feeling for the first time that he was as despicable as his mother, wishing she could take off her shoe and smack him across the face!
She took a deep breath.
“Mr. Sheng misunderstood, I just saw it was getting late and didn’t want to disturb Mr. Sheng’s rest.”
“Heh,” a cold snort.
Every single hair on this man’s head conveyed his disbelief in her “nonsense.”
However, in the end, he didn’t give her a hard time and, with his noble and cold handsome face, left first.
About ten minutes later, Xu Guannan arrived in this man’s bedroom.
“There was indeed an argument, but mainly, the old lady was picking on your wife. It seemed that Lin Shuang made a phone call to her before dying, and then the old lady suspected that everything was your wife’s conspiracy,”
“…”
A sentence turned the man in the bedroom’s complexion extremely somber.
“I underestimated that cheap woman. Back then, if she hadn’t suddenly become pregnant…”
He paused there in his speech.
Xu Guannan immediately looked up at him: “President, have you thought of something?”
“Nothing, I was just wondering how I let her get pregnant five years ago?”
He had finally stumbled upon this question.
Xu Guannan was dumbstruck.
Was this question really something to think about? As a man, could he possibly have forgotten such a thing?
