Ch. 251..255: Mr CEO Ex-wife Escapes Again Chapter 251-255
Chapter 251: Chapter 251 Little Bun Was Bullied Chapter 251: Chapter 251 Little Bun Was Bullied “I’ve seen Wanjun’s daughter-in-law; this girl really looks exactly like her!”
“Really?”
“Yes, when they got married, Wanjun didn’t want too many people to know, so she only invited us close relatives. I took one look at that woman, and she had a face full of harshness, just like this little girl here!”
She cursed, pointing at Youyou.
But Youyou clearly had the look of a porcelain doll, and anyone who saw her would like her.
As a result, now in these people’s eyes, she had become harsh-looking.
Youyou blinked her watery big eyes. At only four years old, she still couldn’t understand these vicious words.
“Grandma, if you have nothing else, Youyou will go play, okay?”
She even took the initiative to say goodbye to these people.
Upon hearing this, they immediately revealed a glimmer of malice in their eyes as she climbed into her children’s toy car.
“Youyou, come back here. I heard your mother can’t come back to attend your grandma’s funeral, so do you want to stand in for your mother and show your grandma some filial piety?”
This person approached her with feigned concern and asked.
Youyou touched her little head.
She did not understand the word “filial piety,” but she did understand that it meant helping her mommy.
“Okay, Youyou can do it!” The kind little Bun quickly agreed.
Seeing this, the people also smiled.
Before long, Youyou was taken away by them and brought to the ancestral hall where Mrs. Sheng’s urn was placed.
“Alright, you just kneel here and show your mother’s filial respect.”
They pointed to the old lady’s black-and-white photo.
Looking up, Youyou happily agreed when she saw it was her grandma.
Grandma had not been unkind to her.
When she was first brought back, although mommy did not reveal her identity to grandpa and grandma, the old couple treated her well, and later, they were even happier to know that she was their biological granddaughter.
Youyou obediently knelt beside the ancestral hall, and since it was the first day of the funeral and not yet time for guests to pay their respects, there were hardly any visitors to the hall.
Youyou knelt for a long time.
Latter, she was so hungry, and her little feet were so sore from kneeling, that she finally rubbed her little eyes and looked up at her grandma’s photo in the hall.
“Grandma, Youyou is hungry. Can you make me something to eat?”
She asked with a pitiful look.
But grandma, who used to dote on her, couldn’t speak anymore; she just looked at her kindly from the black-and-white photo.
“Grandma…”
Youyou was finally about to cry.
She got up, planning to go look for daddy, for her brothers, and for Grandma Ke, but as soon as she rose, her numbed feet from kneeling caused her to stumble, and she fell to the ground.
“Wah~~”
She finally burst into loud sobs.
However, she did not notice that when she fell over, she also knocked over a brazier that was burning nearby, scattering ashes that covered her.
“Cough, cough, cough, cough…” Youyou was so choked that she started to cough.
It was at this moment that a servant from the old house came in to refill the eternal light and heard the commotion, rushing in promptly.
“Youyou, my goodness, what are you doing here? Everyone’s been looking for you!”
The servant saw the scene and dashed over, trembling with shock.
Twenty minutes later, Sheng Siyuan, who was outside checking on the cemetery, got the news and rushed back. Upon seeing the little Bun drinking water in Auntie Ke’s arms, he swiftly scooped her into a tight embrace.
“I’m sorry. It’s all daddy’s fault for not taking good care of you; daddy is to blame!”
He apologized non-stop near little Bun’s ear, overwhelmed with guilt.
Youyou, by now, had already recovered a bit.
“Daddy, Youyou is okay, Youyou stayed with Grandma for Mommy, so long as Grandma is happy, Youyou isn’t afraid of anything.”
Little Bun said in her milky voice, nestled in Daddy’s arms.
Mommy?
Sheng Siyuan immediately let her go, his gaze sharply turning towards the people inside the house.
“What do you mean she went back? Wasn’t she playing at the wake?”
“No,” Aunt Ke shook her head, her eyes already blazing with anger.
“When we found her, all the offerings at the wake had been eaten by this Little Bun, and look at her little legs, Young Master!”
Aunt Ke came over and lifted Youyou’s pant legs up.
In an instant, Sheng Siyuan saw his daughter’s chubby little legs, both knees completely bruised as if she had been kneeling for a long time!
“Who did this?” A frightening chill swept over his pupils in a flash.
Then Aunt Ke said, “I heard from the servants in the mansion that Youyou went to the bathhouse to play by herself this afternoon and ran into people from the Wang Family.”
“The Wang Family?”
As these words were spoken, the aura emanating from the man grew even more terrifying.
Because he knew these people harbored hatred towards the child’s mother.
Sheng Siyuan sent Aunt Ke and Youyou back to Shengfei Bay, and that same evening, he went to the Wang Family’s residence and found his grandmother, Old Madam Wang.
“Grandmother, haven’t you gone to bed yet?”
“Xiaoyuan, not yet, come in and sit.”
The grandmother, nearly ninety, brightened at the sight of her grandson, and though she was grieving the loss of her daughter, she mustered the strength to sit up.
Sheng Siyuan came in.
“Grandmother, you need to take care of yourself.” He couldn’t bear to see his elderly grandmother like this and so reminded her first.
The grandmother cared for him deeply too.
But she shook her head, her dim, aged eyes revealing profound sorrow in the light.
“I can’t understand it, why would your mother jump from a building? Xiaoyuan, she was clearly now…”
With a handkerchief in hand, it seemed the grandmother had words on the edge of her lips, ready to spill forth.
Sheng Siyuan looked at her.
But somewhat disappointed, she swallowed her words back down.
“Alas, she was too foolish,” she ended up saying just that.
Seeing this, Sheng Siyuan then stated his purpose for visiting.
“Grandmother, my mother’s issues have nothing to do with my wife and child. What happened to her today is the result of her own actions. I hope you can make that clear to the Wang family.”
“What?” The moment the grandmother heard this, her eyes widened.
“Xiaoyuan, your grandmother doesn’t understand what you mean. Who is so blind as to relate those things to your wife and child?”
She chided angrily.
Seeing her reaction, Sheng Siyuan could pretty much guess what she was thinking. Thereupon, he simply got up after briefly addressing the point.
“That’s best then, Grandmother. You should rest well. Tomorrow is my mother’s funeral, another day where you’ll need to exert yourself, so I won’t disturb you any longer.”
With considerate words, Sheng Siyuan swiftly made his exit.
Before long, several members of the Wang family were brought into the small courtyard.
“Old Madam, we… we really didn’t do anything…”
Upon seeing the old lady’s room, the people from the Wang Family who had tormented Youyou during the day immediately fell to their knees in panic before her.
But who was the Old Madam?
She was once the head of the Wang Family, the very person who built up the Wang Family’s status from the ground.
“Slap them!”
Upon hearing their excuses, Old Madam Wang issued this fierce command!
Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Wife, I Miss You Too Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Wife, I Miss You Too No one knew what had happened in the small courtyard that evening.
But the next morning, the servants of the old mansion discovered that those of the Wang Family who had harmed Youyou were nowhere to be seen.
The funeral was smoothly concluded that day.
“Grandma, why don’t you stay here for a few days before going back? At your age, it’s not easy to be traveling back and forth.”
Sheng Siyuan, as he removed the white flower from his chest, made a special effort to retain the elderly lady.
But the old lady shook her head.
“I have to go back. Xiaoyuan, from now on, you’ll have to worry about yourself. Your mother is gone, and I’m old now; I’m afraid I won’t be much help even if I wanted to.”
The old lady held her grandson’s hand, earnestly advising him with weighty words.
The Wang Family indeed had given the Sheng Family a lot of help.
Especially during the initial days of Grandfather Sheng’s entrepreneurship, the Wang Family in the capital had been a timely help.
Sheng Siyuan pursed his lips, paused for a moment, then said, “Grandma, what are you talking about? Even though my mother is gone, you are still my grandma, and we’re still family.”
“Okay.”
The grandmother smiled through her tears.
After a pause, Sheng Siyuan had someone take the old lady to the airport, as he himself also prepared to leave.
“Where are you going? To Y City again?”
Old Master Sheng stepped out, seeing his son preparing to leave right after the funeral, and felt his frustration rise.
Sheng Siyuan could only stop.
“Do you have something else?” he turned back to ask.
Leaning on his cane, Old Master Sheng approached and said, “Your grandmother was right. Now that your mother’s gone and your grandmother is old, with no uncles of your own, if Jian Zhongzhou wants to go against you, there would be no one to stop him. Have you thought about how to deal with what’s coming next?”
So that was what he was talking about.
Sheng Siyuan’s expression softened, he took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and after a moment, blew a ring of smoke from his lips. This time, it was he who let out a cold laugh.
“A corporation as big as Shengshi, and I can’t handle one Jian Zhongzhou?”
“What do you mean?”
“I remember there’s a place in Chongzhou called Chihai. I hear it’s been surrounded these past years, turned into a big breeding farm. Dad, why don’t you try finding the owner there? Ask how Shengshi would fare getting a share in it?”
Suddenly, he was speaking completely off-topic!
The old master was about to explode with anger.
“You little brat, I’m discussing serious matters with you, and you want me to go fishing?”
“No, isn’t fishing quite good? It would help you exercise, find some joy in life. I’ve heard the owner is quite fond of tea, especially Baohou tea’s Silver Needle!”
Sheng Siyuan teased.
Old Master Sheng: “…”
He meant to retort, but suddenly, the mention of Baohou Silver Needle caught his attention and he stared at his son in astonishment.
“Could it be, you’re talking about…Xiahou Yi?”
He was extremely shocked!
Sheng Siyuan exhaled the last smoke ring and didn’t answer the question. He pinched the cigarette butt, waved his hand, and left.
“This tough mission I leave to you. I’ve still got to see your daughter-in-law, goodbye!”
“!!!!”
Old Master Sheng was fuming mad.
But as he went back, he couldn’t conceal the excitement in his heart.
“Old master, who is Xiahou Yi?” the old butler asked, unable to restrain his curiosity upon seeing his excitement.
While picking out gifts in the collection room, the old master glanced at him disdainfully.
“Of course, you wouldn’t know. Xiahou Yi is the head of the Xiahou Family.”
“Uh…” The butler scratched his head.
It was as if nothing had been said.
But he soon understood the weight of the old master’s words, as he handed him a notebook that he had once wanted to use to “take over” the important matters in the capital.
Right at the top, it read— the four eminent families of the capital, renowned in the city!
“Let me tell you, in the capital, the real puppeteers of the city are these four great families. They don’t show up often, but as long as you’re someone inside the circle, you’ll know that they’re the real controllers of the capital.”
“That powerful?”
“Of course, among the four major families, the Xiahou Family ranks first. Rumor has it that even the army listens to them. How formidable is that?”
The old master had already picked out the most significant gift by this time and excitedly brought it out from inside.
The butler was stunned.
It wasn’t just hearing about the astonishing power of the Xiahou Family.
What surprised him even more was that the thing the old master had taken out was the most valuable piece in his collection, a famous painting from a thousand years ago!
It seems that the Xiahou Family is indeed very powerful.
——
Y city.
As night enveloped the city, a cold wind had arisen even before the sky had brightened, driving everyone on the streets to hurry home.
Yin Hehe also felt the cold at the entrance to the Drug Rehabilitation Center.
“Hehe, come back inside quickly. Your husband isn’t going anywhere,” said one of the nurses from inside, teasing her.
Yin Hehe’s cheeks flushed.
Embracing her thick cotton coat, she walked in somewhat awkwardly, only to find, just then, a car pulling up to the entrance.
“Mommy~~~”
As soon as the car stopped, a milky cheer spread through the air.
Yin Hehe instantly turned back with great joy.
“Youyou!!”
She rushed over in overwhelming surprise, stretching out her arms to tightly embrace the Little Bun coming towards her.
Her precious little one, she had missed her so much.
“Mommy, Youyou missed you so much.” Little Bun threw herself into her arms; having not seen Mommy in so long, her grape-like big eyes immediately reddened.
Yin Hehe felt a sudden ache in her chest.
She held her tightly, smelling the milky fragrance on her, and answered with a choked voice, “Mommy missed you too, Mommy is so happy.”
Mother and daughter had an emotionally intense moment right at the entrance of the Drug Rehabilitation Center.
Sheng Siyuan got out of the car and saw this scene. He did not interrupt them, watching with a smile tinged with tenderness from behind.
The nurses from the Drug Rehabilitation Center, hearing the commotion, all came running out.
“My goodness, Hehe, this is your baby? So cute!”
“Yeah, yeah, just like a porcelain doll, she’s too pretty,” gushed the two nurses as they excitedly squatted down to see Little Bun.
Little Bun, feeling aggrieved in Mommy’s arms, suddenly saw two pretty sisters looking at her. She sniffled and peeked her little head out from the embrace.
“Who are you?”
Her voice was milky, and she wasn’t the least bit shy.
The nurses were ecstatic.
“We are your nurse sisters here. What’s your name?”
“I’m Youyou. Pretty nurse sister, you’re very pretty too,” she said.
“!!!!!”
The nurses were so excited they almost lost their senses.
Without waiting for Yin Hehe’s consent, they scooped the adorable Little Bun out of her arms.
“Hehe, you go ahead and catch up with your tall, rich and handsome husband. We are going to play with your kid,” they said.
Then they whisked the child away in a flash.
Watching from the entrance, Yin Hehe didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
It seems that having an overly cute child can be a problem too.
Yin Hehe got up and, seeing the man quietly standing in front of her, she waved him over, but before she knew it, he suddenly stepped forward and pulled her into his embrace.
“???”
“Wife, I’ve missed you too…” he murmured in her ear.
Chapter 253: Chapter 253 Admitting to Liking Chapter 253: Chapter 253 Admitting to Liking Yin Hehe had never heard such a straightforward confession from this man before, and her face couldn’t help but flush with redness.
She actually missed him too.
When the two returned to the hospital room, the nurse had taken Little Bun and had not yet brought him back, leaving just the two of them in the room temporarily.
“Have you eaten?” Yin Hehe asked as she came in, still quite concerned about this matter.
The man nodded: “Had a bit on the plane.”
Yin Hehe: “How can the food on a plane be good? Shall I see if there’s anything to eat in the cafeteria?”
After saying this, she headed out of the ward.
Sheng Siyuan didn’t stop her.
He was a bit tired now, having not slept well for two days due to handling funeral affairs at home, and he just wanted to rest properly.
Sheng Siyuan settled himself at the small table beside the bed.
“Ding…”
Just as he sat down, the screen of the mobile phone on the table lit up.
“President, our construction company has been inspected, and we still have several projects in our hands.”
It turned out to be a message from the marketing director.
Sheng Siyuan’s brows furrowed, and he had to sit up to reply to the message.
“Isn’t our construction company not contracting projects in the capital? Why suddenly get inspected?”
“It’s not, but recently the projects we’ve contracted are all from official sources, like the highway in the Northeast, which was directly approved, and in the end, Shengshi Group won the bid at an amount of hundreds of billions!”
The marketing director sent the message, patiently explaining.
A single highway amounting to hundreds of billions, and then there were other projects, who knew to what extent that figure would reach.
Sheng Siyuan put down his mobile phone with a grim expression.
It wasn’t long before Yin Hehe walked in with two bowls of steaming noodles.
“There’s nothing else, so I made you a bowl of noodles; it’ll have to do.”
She came over to the small table, placing the noodles in front of the man.
There were no rich ingredients, just a bowl of simple noodles, but she had thoughtfully fried a sunny-side-up egg on top.
Sheng Siyuan smiled.
He picked up the chopsticks and began eating the noodles from the bowl, and after a moment, he showed a very satisfied expression.
“Mrs. Sheng’s cooking is quite good.”
“Don’t flatter me. How are your mother’s funeral arrangements going? The Wang Family didn’t cause any trouble, did they?”
Yin Hehe poured herself a cup of water and sat down, asking.
She was quite concerned about this matter.
After all, he had never asked her to attend the funeral.
But she saw that upon hearing the question, the man didn’t show much of a reaction; he just continued eating his noodles and gave a faint “Mhm.”
“What can they make a fuss about? It’s not like my mother jumped from the building because we forced her. And besides, my grandmother is around; they wouldn’t dare to act rashly.”
“Grandmother?”
This caught Yin Hehe’s attention.
“I’ve heard before how formidable your grandmother is. Your grandfather died early, and she held the family together all by herself.”
“Mm,” Sheng Siyuan nodded.
“She is indeed incredible. I don’t have any uncles, and when my grandfather passed away, he left behind a lot of wealth. Those in the clan wanted to bully my grandmother and seize the family assets, so my grandmother acknowledged the old lady from the capital’s Bai Family as her godmother.”
He continued to eat the noodles while recalling his grandmother’s past, patiently narrating.
Yin Hehe grew even more interested.
“The old lady Bai you’re talking about, is that the one from one of the capital’s four great families?”
“You know about this too?” The man looked up at her, quite surprised.
Yin Hehe nodded.
“In our line of work, most of the prominent figures from various countries will try to find out about the Four Great Families of the imperial capital, which are the Bai, Duan, Shen, and the double-surnamed Xiahou family, right?”
Yin Hehe searched her mind for this information before she spoke.
Sheng Siyuan was again taken by surprise.
This information might not even be known to the citizens of the imperial capital because these four major families were really low-key.
“You’re right, it’s the Bai family among them.”
“Then your grandmother is very smart. Although the Bai family is ranked last among the Four Great Families, their power is also quite strong. With their support, your grandmother must have been able to hold sway over her family clansmen.”
Yin Hehe showed genuine admiration for the old lady.
Sheng Siyuan nodded, “Yes, and now the Wang family has a very good relationship with the Bai family. When my mom was young, Madam Bai, who had no daughters, always treated her like her own granddaughter.”
“That good?”
“Mm-hmm, so it also fostered my mom’s petulant and willful nature. Even in her old age, she hasn’t changed much and does whatever she pleases.”
When Sheng Siyuan said the last sentence, his tone had paused midway, already implying that he was making excuses for his mother.
Probably, he wanted Yin Hehe to forgive her for all that she had done to her, considering that his mother was no longer around.
Yin Hehe smiled.
He was really silly, how could she still be bothered with all that?
“However, if that’s the case, should we go look for the Bai family? They should be able to suppress Jian Zhongzhou, right?”
Yin Hehe suddenly thought of this.
Unfortunately, the man shook his head, “The Bai family is not what it used to be; they have declined.”
“Okay,” Yin Hehe sighed with regret.
After a moment, she got up to pick up her child. Sheng Siyuan watched her leaving figure before picking up his phone again.
“Have you set off yet?”
“We’ve already set off, President, and we’ll soon arrive in Chongzhou.”
Xu Guannan responded from the other side.
Sheng Siyuan looked at the message for a few seconds, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately he put down the phone.
A night of tranquility.
The next day, Sheng Siyuan went back to Jiangbei, leaving Youyou at the Drug Rehabilitation Center to accompany Yin Hehe.
“Mommy, you sleep well, okay? Youyou will be here to protect you.”
Little Bun was exceptionally sensible. Seeing that her dad was not around, she took the initiative to stay beside the sickbed to take care of Mommy.
Warmth filled Yin Hehe’s heart.
After the treatment ended, Yin Hehe took her daughter out to get some air and found Doctor Qin chatting happily with the nurses in his office.
She took her daughter over.
“Wow, who is this? Where did this cute little one come from?”
As soon as the nurses saw the rosy-cheeked Little Bun, they couldn’t hide their excitement.
Youyou looked up with her little head and responded to them robustly.
“It’s Youyou baby, nurse sister, you look like a little fairy today.”
“Oh my!!”
The nurse was so flattered by the sweet talk that she almost fainted.
Before long, everyone took Little Bun to play, leaving only Yin Hehe and Doctor Qin in the Drug Rehabilitation Center.
“Xiaoyin, the Drug Rehabilitation Center in Jiangbei is already being prepared. You should be able to transfer there in about half a month.”
“Really?” Yin Hehe was instantly overjoyed at the news.
Doctor Qin nodded with a smile.
“Of course, it’s true. This was arranged through a connection General Xiahou, a leader, personally requested. Since he has agreed, there should be no problems.”
“General Xiahou?”
Yin Hehe was genuinely surprised to hear about the head of the Four Great Families of the imperial capital.
Chapter 254: Chapter 254 Old Friend Chapter 254: Chapter 254 Old Friend “The Xiahou Family? Dr. Qin, why does the Drug Rehabilitation Center’s preparation need his approval?”
Yin Hehe asked in surprise.
Only then did Dr. Qin explain, “It’s not that we need his permission, but if he broaches the subject, things will go more smoothly. You may not know, but many of Elder Mr. Xiahou’s students are in the Military Department.”
“I see,” Yin Hehe finally understood.
At that moment, she decided not to inquire further and just waited for the good news.
However, that very afternoon, just as she had finished another treatment session, Dr. Qin suddenly came looking for her.
“Xiaoyin, our senior leadership would like to meet you.”
“Ah?” Yin Hehe was stunned, “Meet me?”
“Yes, don’t be nervous. It’s mainly because your addiction is quite unique, and the leadership is considering whether it’s necessary to transfer you?”
“…”
Wasn’t that important?
Upon hearing this, Yin Hehe immediately became tense.
It was only about half an hour later when Yin Hehe had made herself look a bit more presentable that strangers indeed came to the ward.
“Director, she stays here.”
“Okay.”
Yin Hehe in the ward then saw Dr. Qin leading a few people inside after hearing the deep voice of a middle-aged man.
“Xiaoyin, let me introduce you. This is Director Lin.”
“Hello, Director Lin.” Yin Hehe reached out her hand proactively.
But just as she finished greeting this director and extended her hand toward the second person,
Her gaze suddenly froze.
“I forgot to introduce you, Xiaoyin. This is Xiahou Xiu, a researcher from the Anti-Drug Headquarters, and also the grandson of Elder Mr. Xiahou.”
Dr. Qin, seeing her suddenly motionless, thought she didn’t recognize him, and hurriedly introduced.
Xiahou… Xiu?
Yin Hehe still did not respond.
She stared at this man as though a bolt of lightning had struck her brain out of the blue.
For a long time, her gaze didn’t shift at all.
Except for her complexion turning deathly pale.
“Xiaoyin?”
“Director Lin, why is she staring at me like that? Did she just take her medication?”
Xiahou Xiu, who had been the target of her fixed stare, was getting impatient under those rooted gazes.
Seeing this, Dr. Qin quickly pulled at Yin Hehe, who then came back to her senses and shook her head at the man.
“No, I just… think that Mr. Xiahou looks very much like a friend of mine.”
“Tch!” As soon as she said this, it immediately elicited a disdainful sneer from Xiahou Xiu.
“So far, I’ve lost count of how many people have said that to me.”
“Cough cough cough…”
Seeing this, Dr. Qin quickly tried to smooth things over.
“Young Master Xiahou, please don’t misunderstand. Xiaoyin is already married with kids who are quite grown. When she says that, she probably really does mean that you resemble a friend of hers.”
“Is that so?” It was only after these words that Xiahou Xiu seemed somewhat convinced.
Yin Hehe, seeing this, nodded with tears welling up, “Yes, his name is… Chu Yan. I don’t know if you’ve heard of him?”
“Chu Yan?”
Unexpectedly, at the mention of this name, the genuine high-born Xiahou Xiu finally showed a trace of serious expression.
“I know him; he was my twin brother, but he died seven years ago. Did you know him?”
He admitted it.
But his attitude was very cold, and even when mentioning Chu Yan, he obviously displayed a hint of disdain.
Yin Hehe felt as if she had been struck by thunder.
So, he and Chu Yan were twins, which meant that Chu Yan was originally from the Xiahou family?
Yin Hehe’s mind had become a complete mess, and if it were not for Dr. Qin’s reminder beside her that she had important things to do, she might have crazily rushed up and questioned this person about Chu Yan.
Chu Yan, her ex-boyfriend.
The boy who died saving her from a car accident, she would never forget him!
Yin Hehe obediently lay on the bed in the laboratory. When Xiahou Xiu came over to draw her blood, her gaze remained silently fixed on him.
“Miss Yin, I don’t know what exactly your relationship with my brother was, but I advise you not to have fanciful thoughts. I am me, and my brother is my brother!”
Xiahou Xiu, seeing her gaze, warned her unhappily again.
Only then did Yin Hehe slowly close her reddened eyes.
“I’m not having fanciful thoughts, I just… want to ask why you have the surname Xiahou while he had the surname Chu?”
“Is that so strange? One took our father’s surname, and the other took our mother’s.”
Xiahou Xiu replied coldly again.
“However, I am quite curious, how did you get to know my brother? While he was alive, he never mentioned knowing any woman to our family.”
Xiahou Xiu glanced at the woman as he drew blood.
Indeed she was very beautiful.
But this type, definitely not the kind Xiahou Xiu would like, as for his twin brother who died early.
Who knows.
Yin Hehe pursed her lips, choosing not to answer the question.
Chu Yan, when he was with her, indeed never mentioned taking her to meet his family, and rarely talked about his relatives.
Looking back now, it was probably because of his special identity.
After about ten minutes, finally, her blood drawing was complete, and she sat up from the sickbed.
“I remind you, never go to the Xiahou Family to inquire about Chu Yan’s affairs. His death is something my family has not yet come to terms with, and if they find out it’s related to you, they won’t let you off!”
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to leave, Xiahou Xiu gave her another cold admonition from behind.
Yin Hehe’s steps faltered.
Moments later, she pulled open the door and left the examination room.
She had never intended to ask. When Chu Yan died, she only saw that his body was taken away the next morning, without leaving her a single word, and she had already realized the distance between herself and his family.
She was only filled with guilt, heartache, and a heavy sense of culpability!
She didn’t know how to make it up to him.
And when she learned that his heart had been donated to Sheng Siyuan, she married him like a moth to a flame.
It was also driven by this sense of guilt.
Yin Hehe returned to the ward.
During the night, Sheng Siyuan came over from Jiangbei.
Upon arriving at the ward, he asked as soon as he entered, “I heard that someone came to draw your blood today?”
“Mhm,” Yin Hehe nodded her head.
“It was Dr. Qin’s superior, who said it was necessary to confirm if this poison had metastasized.”
She took out the food that had been kept in the incubator and placed it in front of this man.
Her gaze, however, was somewhat evasive.
Sheng Siyuan did not notice; he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.
“So what was the result? I’ve spent nearly a billion, why is this happening?”
He sounded somewhat displeased.
Yin Hehe hurriedly explained, “Actually, it’s just a procedure. Dr. Qin said there’s no need to worry.”
The man then continued to eat with satisfaction.
Yin Hehe sat down opposite him and was about to take a sip of water, but then she noticed her phone screen light up.
Someone added her?
She looked at the WeChat page, where a new friend request icon was highlighted, and casually clicked on it.
[I am Xiahou Xiu!]
Unexpectedly, the person who added her was none other than Xiahou Xiu, whom she had just met today.
Yin Hehe was so startled that she sat up straight.
Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Wait for Me to Come Back Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Wait for Me to Come Back “What’s wrong?”
Such a commotion finally startled Sheng Siyuan, who was eating his meal.
Yin Hehe then came to her senses.
“Nothing… nothing.” She quickly denied, but panic flashed through her eyes.
“It’s just a piece of news, right, it’s getting late, I’ll go bring Youyou over.”
To avoid letting him find out, she even made up an excuse and soon she was out the door.
She did not want him to know about Chu Yan’s matter.
After all, the Organ Donation Book that she had slapped him with five years ago had angered him for a full five years.
Yin Hehe took her phone and went to the corridor.
Heading towards the nurse’s station, she was fiercely debating in her mind whether to accept this friend request or not?
Finally, she arrived at the door of the station and saw her lively and adorable daughter inside.
“Youyou, let’s go, Daddy’s here, we should head back.”
She swiftly deleted the friend request and opened her arms to her daughter.
“Mommy~~” Little Bun immediately flew into her embrace like a little swallow.
The mother and daughter returned to the ward.
“Daddy, you’re back.”
Indeed, upon seeing Daddy, Little Bun joyfully ran over and hugged his leg.
Sheng Siyuan immediately put down his chopsticks and picked up the little pink bundle.
“Were you good today? Did you take care of Mommy?”
“Yes.” Little Bun, now in Daddy’s arms, started to play with his tie with her plump little hands.
“Youyou stayed by Mommy all day, even when an uncle came to draw Mommy’s blood, Youyou was guarding the door.”
“…”
Just seated, Yin Hehe’s heart jolted again.
Was this little girl at the laboratory door during the day as well?
Now Sheng Siyuan, like any doting father, was utterly softened by his squishy little daughter.
He gently pinched her little face and began to feed her.
“Youyou, come down, Daddy hasn’t finished eating yet. Come here, Mommy will hold you.”
Yin Hehe, seeing this, initially wanted her daughter to come down.
But as soon as she spoke, the man stopped her, “It’s alright, I rarely get to hold her.”
His words implied that he wanted to hold her,
not that the little girl was being stubborn and not wanting to come down.
Upon seeing this, Yin Hehe simply didn’t say anything more. Besides the warmth of this scene, the trifling matter from before was already tossed out of her mind.
That night, the family of three slept soundly in the ward.
Dawn was breaking.
On the caregiver bed beside him, Sheng Siyuan placed his still soundly sleeping daughter into the bed covers and got up.
“Husband, why are you up so early?”
Hearing the noise, Yin Hehe actually woke up.
The man who was quietly getting dressed heard her, turned his head and saw the woman in the bed behind him slightly lift her head.
His heart melted completely.
She called him husband.
Also, he just realized that he really liked seeing her concerned about him.
Sheng Siyuan came over.
“Hmm, I have a trip today, I need to leave early.” He bent down and gently kissed her forehead.
Yin Hehe’s ears immediately turned red.
She wasn’t quite awake yet, but now, with his kiss, her drowsiness was swept away.
“I know, be careful on the road,” she said, slightly lowering her eyes in a somewhat unnatural manner.
Sheng Siyuan looked down at her flushed cheeks and her dense, long eyelashes trembling lightly like butterfly wings.
His gaze darkened.
In the end, he couldn’t resist, and his hot lips pressed down, capturing hers.
“Mmm…”
Yin Hehe flushed even more red.
But she didn’t resist and let the man caress her obediently.
Until her breath became nearly too agitated to catch, he finally let her go…
“Wait for me to come back, okay?”
His voice was hoarse and gentle as he instructed.
Yin Hehe, of course, nodded again.
In a moment, the man left, and Yin Hehe sat on the hospital bed, touching her lips that seemed to still retain his warmth.
Her cheeks suddenly became hot again.
She hid under the covers and covered her head.
It was so embarrassing!
—
Chongzhou.
When Sheng Siyuan walked out of the airport, Xu Guannan was already waiting outside.
“President, you’re finally here. The old man was very shocked last night, he hasn’t come out of the hotel at all,” Xu Guannan said with a sigh.
Sheng Siyuan didn’t show much reaction upon hearing this. Getting into the car, he casually flipped through a local magazine in his hand.
Xu Guannan: “President, how come you’re not surprised at all?”
Sheng Siyuan didn’t even lift his head: “Surprised by what? If Xiahou Yi was so easily seen by just anyone, could he still be called the number one figure of the capital?”
“But if you knew the old man wouldn’t be able to see him, why did you still ask him to come?”
Xu Guannan, driving in front, became even more puzzled after hearing this.
Indeed, if he knew in advance that they wouldn’t be able to meet, why bother troubling the old man? God knows how much hardship he suffered from this visit.
Now he was so angry that he refused to leave the hotel.
Sheng Siyuan remained indifferent in expression.
“If he hadn’t come, how would I know what weight the Sheng Family carries in Xiahou Yi’s eyes?”
“Ah?” Xu Guannan was startled by this statement.
“So… do you know the weight now, President?”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
“What?”
“Worthless!” The man spoke these words, at last revealing a hint of anger.
He snapped the magazine shut.
Half an hour later, at the Chongzhou seaside dock.
“Master, can I ask you something? Is there any way to get to that island?”
Xu Guannan arrived at the dock and pointed at the distant island in the sea.
That’s right, Chihai was actually that island. From above, you could see it surrounded by a small sea area on its right-hand side.
That was Chihai.
“There’s no way. That’s private property, and we’re not allowed up there,” the dock’s boatman said bluntly.
Xu Guannan looked back at the man behind him.
“When the old master came last night, we went directly to the Xiahou Family, but they bluntly refused to even open the door. Now these boatmen can’t get across either. What do you suggest we do now?”
“Then find someone who can get there.”
Sheng Siyuan took out his wallet, pulled out a big wad of cash, and handed it to a nearby boatman.
The boatman’s eyes lit up.
A few minutes later, they obtained the contact information for an old servant close to Xiahou Yi.
Meanwhile, in Y City, Yin Hehe saw Xiahou Xiu coming to the Drug Rehabilitation Center again at noon.
“Young Master Xiahou, why have you come again? Is there something else you need?”
Dr. Qin, seeing this person, hurriedly came over to ask.
But Xiahou Xiu ignored him completely and went straight into the ward to find Yin Hehe.
“Miss Yin, why didn’t you accept my WeChat request?”
“???”
Yin Hehe, who was in the ward telling a story to her daughter, was suddenly bewildered by his appearance.
“Do you think I’m looking for you because of my brother? You’re really overthinking it. I sent you lab reports; there’s something wrong with your blood!”
Xiahou Xiu, seeing that Yin Hehe didn’t respond, angrily threw a blood test report at her.
Yin Hehe’s face changed.
Dr. Qin immediately came over to look at the report.
“Mr. Xiahou, what’s the issue with this report?”
“Can’t you see as a doctor? Her blood contains cell division drugs, which means her addiction is mutating!”
Xiahou Xiu seemed like an evil ghost that had burst out from Hell itself.
He bore the face of Chu Yan, but at that moment, to Yin Hehe, even every pore seemed cold, fearful.
