Ch. 386..390: Mr CEO Ex-wife Escapes Again Chapter 386-390

Chapter 386: Chapter 386: The Mystery of One’s Background

"How’s it going? Have the two of you cleared out the house?"

Yin Hehe stopped the car in front of the dilapidated little place and, with her entourage, stepped out and asked the mother and daughter at the door with a smile.

Yin Xue exploded in an instant!

"Yin Hehe, I’m telling you, if you dare to step one foot into this house today, I’ll immediately set it on fire!"

"Alright then, go ahead and burn it," Yin Hehe opened her arms, showing a completely accommodating expression.

"It’ll even save me the trouble of having my friend come here to protect Sister Jinxiu."

"What do you mean?" Caicai, somewhat naive, actually stepped forward and asked.

Meishan Qiandai, seeing this from behind, slapped her on the back of the head.

"Are you stupid? Once it’s burned down, she’ll end up in a detention center!"

"!!!!"

Caicai suddenly understood.

And Yin Xue, who had just been ranting at Yin Hehe like a lunatic, immediately turned pale and stood there, not daring to move.

Seeing this, Yin Hehe gave a wave of her hand.

Then, the two women behind her swiftly opened the trunk of the Maybach and carried out all the household items they had brought.

"Get to work!"

At the command, a lively group strode in, leaving Jinxiu, who still stood there, feeling flattered and tearful.

She had never imagined she would have such a fortunate day.

She had been orphaned since she was young, yet now, so many people loved her; she truly felt content with her life.

When Jin Jinxiu also entered with some items, she caught He Wanqiu’s eyes sharply trained on her like the edge of a knife.

"Jin Jinxiu, don’t worry, she might protect you now, but she can’t protect you forever."

"..."

Jin Jinxiu’s face turned pale again.

But soon, seeing girls heading upstairs with great enthusiasm, her expression regained its composure.

"Of course, she’s my sister, why would I need her to protect me forever? If anyone should be protecting, it ought to be me protecting her."

She said this confidently, picking up the items in her hands and with her spine straight, entered the villa.

It infuriated He Wanqiu, who watched Jin Jinxiu’s retreating figure with eyes full of resentful venom.

"How have the talks with Sheng Huainan been these past few days? Did he tell you clearly that he’s not some illegitimate child his mother randomly had outside?"

Suddenly, she called Yin Xue over and stared at her, questioning.

Yin Xue, still furious, had been white-eyed with rage. Hearing this, she gradually regained some composure.

"It’s confirmed, no, he’s not! Both he and his father have been to the hospital for a paternity test, and he is indeed a member of the Sheng Family."

"That’s great!" With this news, a hint of color finally returned to He Wanqiu’s face.

"It seems his mother was quite ruthless too. To secure her son’s position at the helm of Shengshi Group, she even deceived another man into thinking the son was his!"

He Wanqiu couldn’t help but admire Sheng Huainan’s mother.

Because she had heard about the power struggle within Shengshi Group, she still remembered the shareholder named Peng Geng, who was terribly conned by that woman.

"Then, in that case, you’d better grab hold of Sheng Huainan quickly, and it’d be best if you married him soon!"

"What do you mean?"

"With that paternity test, Sheng Huainan is now a bona fide member of the Sheng Family, but Sheng Siyuan is different. Didn’t you hear, when he just came back, there were rumors everywhere that he’s not Sheng Huang’s son? They suspect he is the seed of the Xiahou Family from the capital!"

Suddenly, the woman brought up the matter again.

After listening, Yin Xue’s face, bright with excitement, immediately regained its brilliance.

Indeed, how had she not thought of that before?

If she married Sheng Huainan, then as long as Sheng Huainan seized power again, she, Yin Xue, would have the chance to become the mistress of Shengshi Group.

And that opportunity seemed quite substantial.

With this, the mother and daughter finally felt joyful, no longer concerned about the two floors that had been taken from them.

At dusk, Shengfei Bay.

After a busy day, Yin Hehe, accompanied by her three children, returned home and went straight to the kitchen, preparing to help Aunt Ke with the cooking.

"You don’t need to help, you’ve been busy all day outside. You should go rest. I can handle it here," Aunt Ke insisted.

She was still very fond of Yin Hehe and immediately urged her to rest when she saw her coming into the kitchen to help after a long day.

Yin Hehe, feeling helpless, could only take out some fruit from the refrigerator.

"Huh? Aunt Ke, why are there so many peaches in the refrigerator today? Did you go out and buy them?"

When Yin Hehe opened the refrigerator, she was surprised to see it filled with fresh peaches and asked curiously.

Aunt Ke hurriedly shook her head: "No, they were picked from Pan Garden. This morning, the great-aunt said the peaches had ripened, so I went to pick them. It’s a bumper year; there are so many peaches. They said they had more than they could eat, so they called us to share in the bounty."

Pan Garden was Sheng Family’s private orchard, planted with numerous fruit trees and vegetables. Generally, family members who wanted something planted it themselves. It was common practice to share with other family members during the bountiful harvest season if they couldn’t finish everything.

Yin Hehe washed a peach and took a couple of bites. Finding the flesh delicious and juicy, she couldn’t help but praise the flavor.

"This is delicious! You should also take some as a gift to great-aunt later," she suggested.

"I will, Madame!" replied Aunt Ke with a beaming smile.

Yin Hehe then prepared to head out.

"By the way, Madame, when I was at Pan Garden picking peaches today, I overheard people discussing something," Aunt Ke suddenly called out to her from behind.

"What are they talking about?" Yin Hehe turned around immediately, peach in hand, and asked.

She noticed that the old servant’s face had become hesitant, as if she were debating whether or not to speak on the matter.

Yin Hehe said, "It’s alright, Aunt Ke, just speak your mind. Don’t be afraid."

Aunt Ke hesitated then revealed, "...I heard them saying that the son of the third master is actually his biological child!"

"What?" Yin Hehe was shocked by this revelation.

"His biological son? How could that be? Wasn’t it said that..."

She remembered the corporate takeover scandal from last year and found it hard to believe.

But the old servant nodded with certainty: "It’s true. They also said they’ve gone for a paternity test, and the results came out today!"

"..."

Yin Hehe’s peach chewing paused in her mouth.

This was inconceivable!

If the child was indeed biologically his, then was last year’s Peng Geng nothing but an innocent scapegoat?

Hold on, if Sheng Huainan was once again a true member of the Sheng family, could he be harboring sinister motives still?

And now, they found themselves on the opposite end, stripped of their truth!

This realization struck Yin Hehe, and suddenly, with a change in her expression, she stepped out to wait for the man outside...

Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Disdain

Yin Hehe finally waited for Sheng Siyuan to return, and as soon as she saw him, she approached him to speak about the matter.

"Husband, I just heard from Aunt Ke that people from the Sheng Family are discussing, saying Sheng Huainan is your uncle’s biological son!"

"..."

The man who had just walked into the living room and taken off his coat turned his head to glance at her.

"And then?"

"Then..." Yin Hehe, seeing the man’s calm demeanor, suddenly didn’t know what to say next.

Wasn’t he worried?

This was a sudden revelation that could work against him. If Sheng Huainan truly was a member of the Sheng Family, he would have another opportunity to compete with him for the Shengshi Group.

However, it seemed Sheng Siyuan was not particularly perturbed by this news.

After taking off his coat and pulling off his tie, he walked over to the dining area to pour himself a glass of water. After taking a sip, he said, "Whether he is from the Sheng Family or not, it has nothing to do with me!"

"Ah?" Yin Hehe followed him, finally showing a puzzled expression.

"Aren’t you afraid he’ll cause trouble in the company again?"

"What trouble? Now, all the shareholders in the company have been reorganized; they’re not the same old fellows as before. Besides, the old man has already bequeathed all his shares to me. Even if I’m not related to him by blood, what can they do to me?"

"..."

Yin Hehe was speechless!

It seemed his point was indeed valid—how could she, a lawyer, forget something like this?

Eventually, Yin Hehe decided not to concern herself with this matter any longer.

She had been planning her elder brother’s wedding recently, and now hearing there was no need to worry, she naturally wouldn’t pay any attention to it.

Until, a week later, during a regular company meeting, she was stunned to see an extra person sitting at the conference table upon entering.

"Uncle, what are you doing here?" she exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing as she was the Sheng Family’s daughter-in-law, it was only proper for her to recognize the relatives in the family clan, no matter how reluctant she was to see this particular person.

But clearly, Sheng’s uncle did not share her sense of decorum.

He could not be bothered to even look at her.

"Ladies and gentlemen, starting from now, my son Sheng Huainan will also be working in the company. I hope everyone will look after him," he said, apologizing to the company’s senior management at the table with a greeting.

Yin Hehe was shocked once again!

Sheng Huainan was actually coming to work at the company? Why didn’t she have any idea about it? What position was he going to take? Did Sheng Siyuan know about this?

Yin Hehe’s mind was filled with questions.

Five minutes later, the impeccably dressed Sheng Siyuan, holding a notebook, walked in. He scanned the conference table and, to Yin Hehe’s surprise, showed no shock upon seeing Sheng’s third uncle; it was as if he had known all along that he would be there.

Yin Hehe: "..."

What the heck was going on?

Had she missed something in the days while she was preoccupied with her brother’s wedding?

Yin Hehe could only calm her mind and get through the meeting. When the meeting was nearing its end, she finally heard Sheng Siyuan address the matter.

"From today, Sheng Huainan will be assigned to the Sales Department. Vice President Cui, I leave him in your charge."

"Yes, President."

The Vice President, who had come over from Financial Street, immediately nodded in agreement.

So, Sheng Huainan had come to the company, but his position was just that of a sales manager.

Yin Hehe’s heart finally settled down.

After the meeting, she followed the man to the President’s office.

"Husband, what’s going on? Why did Sheng Huainan suddenly start working at the company? And you’ve arranged a position for him? What’s the situation?" she asked as soon as she entered.

The man had just set down the documents in his hand, and seeing her finally taking interest in the matters at hand, could only smile helplessly.

"You don’t need to worry, now that he’s confirmed to be a member of the Sheng Family, it’s normal for him to work at Shengshi Group. There are many people from the Sheng Family in the company now."

"But if you arrange such a position for him, will he be satisfied? He used to want to sit where you are now."

Yin Hehe pointed at the man’s desk.

Seeing this, Sheng Siyuan gave a cold snort, "What? Mrs. Sheng seems to be quite worried about your husband now. Can’t you stop meddling in other affairs and manage your husband?"

"..."

Yin Hehe was left speechless by this man’s helpless retort!

What does this have to do with that?

She didn’t want to talk to him anymore and turned to leave to get back to work.

But the man suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace.

"I’m serious. You’ve been busy with your brother’s matters all week, my wife, you haven’t cared for me in a long time."

"... Eh."

Yin Hehe, feeling the hot heartbeat in the man’s warm embrace, blushed slightly and finally lowered her head, saying, "Then you should come home early tonight."

"Great!"

The man perked up immediately as if energized.

Yin Hehe came down from upstairs.

Just as she arrived at the Legal Department, she heard cheers from the Sales Department next door as if they were having some event.

"What are they doing? Making such a racket during working hours?"

"Director, the new general manager of the Sales Department bought them a lot of delicious food, and they are eating right now."

Hu Xinxin, a true foodie, had already gone out several times to sniff around. Hearing the director ask, she immediately replied cheerfully.

Sheng Huainan?

Yin Hehe frowned slightly upon hearing this name.

However, she ultimately didn’t go to stop them and busied herself with her work. After all, it was two unrelated departments, and it wouldn’t be good for her to overstep.

Yin Hehe was busy until the end of the workday.

"Xinxin, what are you having for lunch? Do you want to join me?"

Yin Hehe received a message from the man on the top floor in the morning saying he wouldn’t be eating lunch at the company, so she asked her colleagues after work.

Hearing this, Hu Xinxin immediately ran in excitedly, "Director, are you inviting us out for lunch?"

"Yeah, don’t you want to eat?"

Yin Hehe teased, looking at her gleaming eyes.

How could they not want to eat?

This was the boss’s wife inviting them for lunch!

Soon, the employees of the Legal Department gathered at the door of Yin Hehe’s office, clamoring for seafood.

Seafood in the middle of the day!

Yin Hehe shook her head, amused.

"Alright, whatever you want to eat, let’s eat. Today at noon, we’ll feast without holding back, lest you say I’m treating you poorly when you saw others eating this morning."

Yin Hehe agreed with utmost generosity.

Thus, everyone from the Legal Department set off mightily behind her, and in no time, they arrived at a very famous seafood restaurant in the center square.

"Director, can I have lobster?"

"You can!"

"Can I have sashimi?"

"You can, you can!"

"Then... Director, can I order a king crab?"

These people are really getting more and more outrageous!

Chapter 388: Chapter 388: The Young Mistress of the Sheng Family

Yin Hehe had satisfied all the staff’s requests, sending them into a frenzy of happiness.

Of course, the atmosphere was at its peak.

Yin Hehe was also quite pleased.

But just as they finished serving the dishes and were about to start eating, they found that the next table was also occupied. It was full of people, all clamoring around—it was quite the crowd.

"What’s going on? Why has the sales department come over here too?"

"Right? Didn’t they already have a meal this morning? Why are they here again for lunch? Does Sheng Huainan really need to be so high-profile?"

The employees of the Legal Department, upon recognizing them, sat down at the table and started gossiping.

When Yin Hehe heard this, she turned her head to look at the two tables behind them. Indeed, it was the sales department’s staff, only this time they were led by Sheng Huainan.

"What does everyone want to eat? Drink? Just order, haha! Today, nobody needs to be polite with me!"

Sheng Huainan was like a peacock in full plumage, thumping his chest in the bustling restaurant as if afraid that others wouldn’t know he was treating these people to a meal.

Yin Hehe coolly withdrew her gaze.

"Come on, eat up, don’t be so overly curious about others. Hurry and eat. While I’m treating you, eat as much as you can; next time, I won’t let you guys take advantage like this!"

She said this on purpose.

When the employees heard this, they had no more interest in other people’s business and started to feast with great gusto.

Yin Hehe also picked up her chopsticks.

While everyone at the table was indulging in the joy of eating, suddenly, an astonished gasp came from the two tables behind them. Everyone looked back again, only to see a woman in a white dress at the entrance of the hall.

At the moment, she was sashaying over with a swaying, graceful gait, drawing everyone’s eyes without a doubt.

Yin Xue?

Yin Hehe recognized the woman, and her usually pleasant face finally darkened a bit.

"Manager Sheng, is this your girlfriend? She’s so pretty!"

"Yeah, Manager Sheng, I had no idea you had such a beautiful girlfriend. Why didn’t you bring her over sooner?"

"Sister-in-law, have you eaten?"

The sales department staff, true to their reputation as slick salespeople, quickly took to calling Yin Xue "sister-in-law" after just a few sentences.

Yin Xue certainly enjoyed this title.

She glanced at Yin Hehe’s table nearby, and seeing that they were looking over, she even deliberately put on a shy demeanor.

"I’ve eaten; I just happened to see him while I was out shopping with my girlfriends, so I came in to say hi."

She casually flipped her hair, acting all innocent, which was truly nauseating to behold.

Yin Hehe didn’t even bother to look.

But then Sheng Huainan’s voice came from behind, "Have you picked one yet? We’re getting engaged on the tenth day of next month; you need to hurry up."

"Oh my God, Manager Sheng, you’re getting engaged soon!"

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

At his words, another round of cheers erupted from the two tables, prompting the employees from the Legal Department to put down their chopsticks and start talking again.

"Does Sheng Huainan really know how to make a scene or what? He’s only just joined Shengshi Group, and now he’s announced his engagement. What’s he trying to say?"

"Isn’t it obvious? He’s making a flashy comeback!"

The Legal Department staff, apart from those who followed Huang Qin and were chased away, were mostly hired later.

So they didn’t know Yin Xue.

But they certainly knew of Sheng Huainan.

Yin Hehe was somewhat surprised, but not because of Sheng Huainan. Had she suddenly understood why that woman had come here?

So, was she trying to show off to Yin Hehe, flaunting that she also had married into the Sheng Family?

Childish!

Yin Hehe didn’t bother to pay her any attention.

Later, all the way through the meal, she didn’t glance over at the two tables even once.

It was only toward the end when Yin Xue saw that she had no reaction, that she finally couldn’t resist coming over.

"Isn’t this my sister? I thought I had mistaken someone else just now,"

she said, holding her purse and standing in front of Yin Hehe’s table, feigning a very surprised and apologetic expression.

Greeting Yin Hehe.

Instantly, upon these words, not only the Legal Department staff were stunned.

Even the two tables from the Sales Department next to them turned their attention this way.

Sister?

They all stood up one by one, looking toward Yin Hehe, knowing that Yin Hehe was indeed their president’s wife!

Seeing this, Yin Hehe stood up as the woman wished. After wiping her hands with a piece of tissue, she got to her feet.

"I am sorry, Miss Yin, even though your mother is the woman my father married in his second marriage, I have no blood relation to you. So, I advise you not to recklessly call me that."

She looked at the woman, casually replied with those words under everyone’s watchful eyes.

In that instant, someone in the air audibly gasped!

The woman’s face in front of her turned red with anger, and her neck swelled up.

She probably hadn’t expected that Yin Hehe’s way of speaking had completely changed; she would no longer endure humiliation for the sake of so-called face. She always liked to voice her truest feelings.

Her words were sharp.

Each one was as if laced with a knife, truly befitting of a lawyer.

"Yin Hehe, there’s no need to talk so unpleasantly. Even if you don’t acknowledge our sisterhood, when I marry into the Sheng Family, we will be sisters-in-law. Will you be able to deny that relationship then?"

Yin Xue, red-faced with rage, blurted out these mindless words.

Yin Hehe felt even more like laughing when she heard them.

"I don’t mind either way, although, my husband probably wouldn’t wish for this relationship to continue. So, we’ll talk about it later!"

She said casually once more, picked up her bag, and prepared to leave.

The staff of the Legal Department, seeing this, also got ready to leave with her.

Sheng Huainan, having gained nothing and lost face instead on his first day with her, finally stepped forward directly, determinedly blocking Yin Hehe’s path.

"Yin Hehe, don’t be too arrogant. You should remember, I am the real member of the Yin Family now!" he warned fiercely.

Yin Hehe, upon hearing this, saw her amber pupils that had previously held no trace of anger finally turn icy cold in that moment.

"So what? Sheng Huainan, it’s not easy for you to enter Shengshi Group now, and if you want to stay here comfortably, you’d better behave and stop having those crooked thoughts. Otherwise, I won’t need to lift a finger to make you leave Shengshi Group myself!"

Her gaze was sharp, but her tone relatively calm.

As soon as these words came out, not only did the Legal Department staff following her feel a chill, but also the sales staff standing behind Sheng Huainan felt their scalps tingle.

There was no helping it; their president’s wife was really formidable!

Chapter 389: Chapter 389 Xiahou Yi Has Long Been Dead

Yin Hehe returned to the company.

Originally, she had intended to tell Sheng Siyuan about this matter. But after some thought, she felt that this man didn’t even care about Sheng Huainan.

So such a trivial matter was even less worth mentioning to him.

Yin Hehe continued to be busy with her work.

At three in the afternoon, her best friend Caicai called, saying she and Meishan Qiandai had already found a suitable wedding planning company for Jin Jinxiu, as well as bridal gowns and jewelry, and wanted her to have a look.

Yin Hehe agreed.

After she organized the documents on her desk, she came out only to find Sheng Huainan waiting for her at the door.

"Sister-in-law, how about we chat?"

Hanging around there casually, he even called her "sister-in-law."

Yin Hehe’s gaze narrowed, "Don’t call me that recklessly, if there’s something you want to talk about, come to my office next time."

After finishing speaking, she lifted her foot to leave.

"But what if what I have to say is about the Xiahou Family?" Suddenly, he casually threw out the surname like that from behind her.

Yin Hehe’s steps halted.

The Xiahou Family?

She turned her head to look at this person, her gaze as sharp as a knife.

Sheng Huainan slowly made his way over, "You don’t need to be nervous, I just wanted to tell you that ever since Xiahou Yi died, their family has been living very miserably in the capital!"

"What did you say?" Yin Hehe’s face finally changed.

"Who died?"

"Xiahou Yi, sister-in-law, you can’t be unaware of this, right?"

Sheng Huainan approached her and, seeing that she was showing a look of shock, he was also quite surprised.

Yin Hehe was stunned for a moment.

She really didn’t know about this. How could the old man be dead? Wasn’t he in Chongzhou?

No, the last time they had gone to Chongzhou, he indeed seemed very unwell!

But these past few months, she had heard no news of him having any trouble, could it be...

Yin Hehe felt a pang in her heart, and a very bad premonition rose to the surface.

"How did you come to know about this?"

"I have many partying pals, but it’s normal for you not to know. I heard that when the old man died, hardly anyone in the capital even knew. His family cremated him and scattered his ashes in the sea where he always stayed, probably to feed the fish he raised."

Sheng Huainan recounted in detail everything he knew, up to the scattering of Xiahou Yi’s ashes into the sea off Chongzhou.

He even cracked a joke about it.

Yin Hehe finally lost her temper, raised her hand, and slapped him across the face!

"Shut your mouth!"

She exhibited a fury she had never shown before!

Sheng Huainan was completely taken aback.

People from the Sales Department and the Legal Department heard the commotion and ran out to see what was happening.

But at that moment, Yin Hehe, whose mind was in complete disarray, went straight to the elevator and up to the top floor.

The old man was actually dead!

On her way to the top floor, Yin Hehe’s buzzing mind was swirling with just a few words.

When she finally reached the CEO’s office, Sheng Siyuan looked up and also saw her pale face.

"What’s wrong? Are you still feeling unwell from what happened at noon?"

He immediately put down his pen and got up from his office desk.

It turned out that he already knew about the incident at noon.

But Yin Hehe looked at him and shook her head.

"No, honey, I just heard some news that... Xiahou Yi is dead!"

She exerted a great deal of effort just to utter those words.

What exactly was her attitude towards that old man?

In truth, it was quite complex!

She hated his autocracy, yet she had to admit that he was an exceptional manager and a distinguished statesman.

His governance, whether in family or state matters, was beyond reproach.

It was known that for many years, the world had been very peaceful, something many found difficult to achieve.

As for politics, she did not quite understand, but she felt that if the imperial capital had managed to maintain such balance for many years, he certainly had played an indispensable role.

Thus, his only flaw might have been his overly cold-blooded nature towards his own family!

Yin Hehe looked at the man before her.

Yet she noticed that, when he had finished speaking, his expression was one of bewilderment, just like hers when she first heard the news from Sheng Huainan, unable to believe it was real.

It wasn’t until he looked into Yin Hehe’s eyes and clearly sensed the certainty in them that his dark pupils contracted, and the color slowly drained from his handsome face.

"How did he die?" he asked.

Yin Hehe shook her head, "But it is said that his ashes were scattered into that sea, so, not many people in the imperial capital know he is already dead."

"..."

A long silence ensued.

Was this concealment intentional?

Of course, it was serious business to keep from the people of the imperial capital.

Obviously not, the old man must have wanted, most likely, to keep it from the two of them.

Sheng Siyuan stepped towards the towering glass window, one step at a time.

The afternoon sun, viewed from this angle, enveloped the entire city in his gaze, like a king at the pinnacle of a tower, overlooking his subjects.

"You go out first, I need to be alone for a bit," he said after a moment.

Yin Hehe nodded her head and then turned to leave.

His reaction was, in fact, the normal one. He was not a truly cold-blooded person, having spent so long in the imperial capital, entangled with the old man for so long, how could he possibly feel nothing about the old man’s death?

So, the indifference he displayed in Chongzhou was just a façade.

Yin Hehe returned to the Legal Department and immediately called Sheng Huainan into her office.

"What exactly did you want to trade earlier?" she asked him coldly.

Sheng Huainan had only just managed to recover, and upon encountering her piercing look, he could not help but touch his own face.

"I wasn’t trading anything ah? I just wanted you to agree to let Axue come to the company," he said.

"Is that all?" Yin Hehe asked.

"This matter is easy to handle, but what do you have to trade? You don’t think that just that sentence earlier could be used as a bargaining chip?"

"That’s definitely not the case!" Sheng Huainan immediately denied.

"I can also tell you, with Xiahou Yi dead, who is now in charge of the entire Xiahou Family. I’m not afraid of anything, just that in the end, someone will target my brother, what do we do then?" he said, touching his face again, somewhat aggrieved.

Yin Hehe’s expression suddenly shifted.

This was actually also her concern!

However, she remembered when they were in Chongzhou, Xiahou Yi had talked to Sheng Siyuan in the house while she overheard from outside. It seemed like Xiahou Yi intended for Sheng Siyuan not to get involved,

saying that once those people had vented, the Xiahou Family would become ordinary people, no longer the focus of attention.

Did that ordinary person include his son too?

Chapter 390: Chapter 390: Coming to Your Door

Yin Hehe waited downstairs until after work before she saw the man from the top floor call her.

"Finished with work? I’m going home."

The voice on the phone was consistently gentle and calm, completely devoid of the emotional downturn she had imagined.

Yin Hehe instantly felt at ease.

About ten minutes later, in the underground parking lot, Yin Hehe saw the black Bentley with its lights on waiting for her, and she hurried over.

"Shall we go to the supermarket to buy groceries?"

Once she got in, the man seated in the driver’s seat, still in a good temper, asked her.

Such trivial matters were usually handled by the housekeepers at home, only occasionally would Yin Hehe indulge the children’s requests.

And take a stroll through the supermarket.

But now, this man took the initiative to suggest going to the supermarket...

Yin Hehe smiled, "Sure, let’s check it out. Youyou was telling me this morning that she wanted stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork."

"Mhm."

The man responded with a hum, and soon, the Bentley sedan slowly drove out of the underground parking lot.

His emotions remained so tranquil.

Yin Hehe thought everything must be fine.

So, that evening, after they returned to Shengfei Bay, the family still had a happy dinner together.

However, when the night grew quiet, and the couple returned to their bedroom, Yin Hehe, after taking a shower, looked at the man casually flipping through a book on the bed.

At last, she climbed into bed and asked, "Husband, do you... want to go pay your respects to him?"

She approached him, asking cautiously.

Even though he had been very calm since after work, at this moment, she had to ask the question.

She couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Fortunately, the man again showed a very gentle attitude.

"He even threw away his ashes, where to pay respects?"

"But..."

"His actions were actually to prevent us from appearing in front of certain people who have always been watching the Xiahou Family. He’s dead, and the capital is facing a new reshuffling. Yet, several months have passed and there hasn’t been any movement. Haven’t you noticed anything?"

He raised his gaze, calmly looking at the woman as he asked.

Yin Hehe was stunned.

"You mean... they have actually been waiting for your move all along?" She suddenly realized.

The man nodded, "So, let’s just act as if nothing happened. Since he wished it so, let’s not disappoint him."

He spoke faintly and, closing the magazine in his hand, he put it aside and covered Yin Hehe with the blanket.

Yin Hehe: "..."

Until she lay in the man’s arms, her eyes were still open in the darkness.

The words he spoke seemed to carry some emotional weight after all...

--

In the following days, Yin Hehe really saw no movement from Sheng Siyuan.

However, because she had agreed to Sheng Huainan’s request, Yin Xue came to the company to work.

"Director, that woman named Yin Xue has come to work at the company. She became Sheng Huainan’s assistant!"

Upon learning this, Hu Xinxin immediately ran over to tell Yin Hehe.

Assistant?

Was she sure this was about working and not coming to keep an eye on her fiancé?

Yin Hehe sneered dismissively and paid no attention.

That morning, Yin Xue really did come to the company dressed to the nines. As soon as she arrived at the sales department, she eagerly greeted the staff and invited everyone to try the pastries she had brought.

"Have you all had breakfast? I brought these, come and have a taste."

"Alright, sister-in-law."

When the sales department heard this, they immediately gathered around.

Yesterday, I had already seen this woman, and besides, Sheng Huainan really was part of the Sheng Family.

Naturally, these employees would give face to this woman.

The staff of the Legal Department, watching from their office, all wore looks of disdain, until they saw this woman actually bring over some pastries to them.

"Hello, I’m the new assistant from the sales department. Here are some pastries, would you like to try some?"

She stood at the door, holding the pastries in her hands and smilingly asked as she looked inside.

Hu Xinxin: "Sorry, the company has rules: we don’t eat during work hours!"

This girl really didn’t leave her any face at all.

Yin Xue’s face couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.

"It’s just some pastries, nothing to be afraid of, or else, should I go and speak with your director? She’s my sister; she won’t be so petty."

Once she finished, she tried to enter to find Yin Hehe.

But just as she took a step inside, it wasn’t Hu Xinxin this time, but a very ordinary employee of the Legal Department who immediately stood up to block her.

"You can’t just come in here; this is an important area for the company’s legal affairs, not somewhere people can just casually walk into."

"You!"

This woman finally turned so angry that her face went green.

And throughout this whole time, Yin Hehe was inside the office, not even lifting an eyelid.

In the end, she walked away resentfully.

But even so, after a whole morning, when Yin Hehe finally came out of the Legal Department, many people already knew about her sisterly relationship with that woman.

"Director Yin, so the new assistant from the sales department is your sister, wow, she’s so pretty."

"Yeah, Director Yin, your family’s genes are amazing; both sisters are so beautiful."

"..."

On her way out, many company employees kept asking her.

Yin Hehe’s pretty face finally turned gloomy.

She wanted to go back to the sales department and properly scold this woman, but at that moment, her phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hehe, I’ve got great news for you, your dad and your stepmother have moved away!"

It was her good friend Caicai calling.

Yin Hehe was stunned for a moment: "Moved away? To where?"

Caicai immediately scoffed: "That damn woman claims she’s moving to the most upscale villa district in Jiangbei; can you believe her delusions?"

"..."

Yin Hehe’s gaze grew even darker.

It probably wasn’t a dream; now that Sheng Huainan had risen, it wouldn’t be strange for this whole family to move to a better place, would it?

Yin Hehe hung up the phone, and shortly after, she drove to the old Yin Family home.

As expected, when she arrived, the first floor of the house was already empty.

That family of three had already moved away!

"Hehe, do you think they’re coming up with some scheme against you? It’s all my fault; if I hadn’t moved in here, this wouldn’t have happened."

Jin Jinxiu had also come.

Seeing Yin Hehe arriving, she immediately came out and spoke to her with a look of guilt.

Yin Hehe patted her shoulder.

"It has nothing to do with you; it’s because Yin Xue has also hitched her wagon to the Sheng Family, which is why they all rise with her."

"Ah?"

As soon as those words came out, Caicai and Meishan Qiandai, who also emerged, both widened their eyes in shock.

Was this woman so shameless?

Actually getting involved with the Sheng Family?

"Not only that, but she deliberately set her engagement date for the beginning of July as well," Yin Hehe added coldly.

Suddenly, Jinxiu’s face went completely pale!
