Mr.CEO’s Ex-wife Escapes Again
Chapter 327: Are all strong people cold-blooded?

Chapter 327: Chapter 327: Are all strong people cold-blooded?

Yin Hehe, accompanied by Sheng Siyuan, returned to the small courtyard where they lived. Once she had calmed him down, she then approached the main hall.

By the time she arrived, Xiahou Jingxiao’s body, already covered with a white cloth, had been carried outside the hall.

She was the younger generation.

Moreover, having committed suicide, she had no right to be carried into the main hall.

"Xiaoxiao, why were you so foolish? Now that you’re gone, how is Mom supposed to go on living?"

The lady of the house had come to her senses and, at that moment, sat collapsed on the ground, holding her daughter’s corpse and crying so hard she could barely catch her breath.

Yin Hehe carefully entered the main hall.

Only to discover that despite such a big incident happening outside, the hall was dead silent, virtually empty.

Except for Xiahou Yi, who sat inside the hall.

"Enough with the wailing. A small setback and she seeks death," what’s there to cry about? At least in death, there’s peace!"

Xiahou Maoqing, who was outside, took note of the silence in the hall and immediately chastised his wife.

"What did you say? At least in death, there’s peace?" His words cut through the grieving lady of the house like a knife.

"Xiahou Maoqing, that was your daughter. How can you speak like that?" she demanded, looking up in anguished fury.

Xiahou Maoqing, upon hearing this, felt a surge of unbearable sorrow flood his eyes.

But quickly, when he glanced at the old man in the hall, still silent as ever, he began to rebuke her again, "Did I say anything wrong? She made a mistake herself, didn’t know to repent, and even sought death after being disciplined by her elders. What use is such a person in this world?"

"You—"

The lady of the house was so angry she nearly passed out again.

In the end, Xiahou Jingmu arrived.

He saw the scene, his gaze lingering on his sister’s body before he moved over to console his mother.

"Mom, please stop grieving for now, let me take you down to rest."

He bent down, intending to lead his mother away to rest.

But as soon as the lady of the house saw him, she clung to him and started crying her heart out again, "Oh my son, what shall we do? your sister is gone, how shall we cope?"

"Mom..."

"Have you cried enough yet?" Finally, an impatient roar came from inside the hall.

In an instant, whether it was Yin Hehe standing at the doorway or the Xiahou Jingmu family outside, everyone jumped in shock.

"If you can’t even educate your own child properly, you have the nerve to come here and cry? What? Are you blaming me for hitting her?"

Xiahou Yi walked out from the hall step by step, his furious demeanor alarming everyone present.

The lady of the house was so terrified that she was immediately silenced.

"Great Uncle, it’s not like that. We’re at fault for not disciplining her properly, please calm your anger," Xiahou Maoqing managed to say after a long while, quickly lowering his head to apologize to the elder.

Xiahou Yi glared at him fiercely, "Let me tell you, even if such a useless person were saved and still alive, I would drag her out and beat her to death myself!" He added harshly.

At that moment, Xiahou Maoqing’s face drained of all color, while the lady of the house couldn’t catch her breath and fainted completely.

"Mother!"

Xiahou Jingmu saw this and called out in alarm, immediately reaching out to support her.

Yin Hehe, too, forgot to go forward. In that instant, she saw the fingers of the man supporting his mother turning white, veins protruding.

Yin Hehe: "..."

Both the lady of the house and Xiahou Jingxiao’s body were taken away.

Bowing deeply, Xiahou Maoqing approached Xiahou Yi, who still had a stern expression on his face at the top of the stairs.

"Great Uncle, it is my fault for not disciplining my daughter properly and causing you trouble. Rest assured, I will immediately order someone to clean up according to Wang Fa."

"..."

No answer.

Xiahou Yi stood there, his entire expression still cold and gloomy.

Seeing this, Yin Hehe was about to step forward and say a few good words, but just then, Xiahou Maoqing lowered his head and added, "I will also replace all the water in the lake to ensure it is completely clean!"

Yin Hehe was stunned.

Even the lake water needed to be changed?

Yet it was this very statement that seemed to finally soften the old man’s face.

"Fine, you may leave now!"

Then, he turned and went back into the hall.

Upon seeing this, Xiahou Maoqing left with boundless gratitude,

Yin Hehe watched his retreating figure for a long time, then finally entered the great hall and looked at the old man, who was cleansing his hands and burning incense.

"Old General, were you not... a bit too cold just now? After all, they are your family."

"What? Now you’re speaking on their behalf?"

Xiahou Yi did not answer the question but, after inserting the incense into the burner, he retorted.

Yin Hehe was immediately at a loss for words.

She wasn’t trying to speak for these people, but from a human perspective, it did seem excessively indifferent.

That girl, although she had taken her own life, there was no need to still speak such cold-blooded words about her family.

"No, I was just wondering, wouldn’t your words just now chill their hearts?"

In the end, Yin Hehe could only offer that explanation.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she heard the old man scoff coldly, "Chill their hearts? They fail to discipline their child and expect to push the responsibility onto others? Let me tell you, if that’s the case, then you can forget about ever successfully running this family in the future!"

Unexpectedly, he switched the focus of the conversation to this matter so abruptly.

Yin Hehe was stunned!

Was this what he was thinking about?

No wonder he had been able to manage such a large family so obediently over the years. It turns out that those in charge really do need to be cold-blooded and heartless!

Yin Hehe returned to her courtyard.

"Madam, you’re back."

Cheng Chi, now tacitly allowed to stay by their side, came out of the side room when he saw her return.

Yin Hehe looked at him and asked, "How is he? Is everything alright?"

"Nothing wrong," Cheng Chi shook his head.

"But just now when I wasn’t back, I saw young Master Jingmu. The president rarely glanced at him, yet Xiahou Jingmu walked away without even acknowledging him."

Cheng Chi frowned and mentioned this.

Hearing this, Yin Hehe grew even more pessimistic in her heart.

She knew that in this man’s current state, if he gave someone an extra look, it meant he recognized and permitted contact with that person.

Yet now, Xiahou Jingmu had outright ignored him.

"Let’s not bother with these matters. After we eat, let’s return to Willow District,"

She really didn’t want to get involved in these family disputes and thought about keeping as far away as possible.

At noon, after everyone had finished eating, Yin Hehe prepared to leave.

But just then, the old butler suddenly came over.

"Xiaoyin, the Old General just asked me to tell you that you’re still needed to oversee the funeral arrangements for the doctor’s daughter from He’anli."

"Me?"

The moment these words were spoken, Yin Hehe was extremely shocked!
