Mr.CEO’s Ex-wife Escapes Again
Chapter 335: Who’s Going to Take Charge?

Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Who’s Going to Take Charge?

The wind that night was especially cold, and in the middle of the night, it started to snow again. The rustling, falling snowflakes soon turned the entire city a silvery white.

However, this night in Willow District was exceptionally warm. Under the thick quilt, Yin Hehe was currently being tightly embraced by this man, sleeping soundly.

This guy, it did take some effort to coax him tonight.

Because he remembered certain things extraordinarily clearly.

For instance, Yin Hehe had coaxed him this morning, saying they would continue more deeply tonight, and he really had been waiting for her since after taking a bath.

Then, as soon as Yin Hehe got into bed, he pounced without a word. Perhaps this was just men’s nature, an instinct etched into his bones.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Yin Hehe came to her senses, and then it took the strength of nine bulls and two tigers to coax him to sleep.

Afterwards, she too fell into an exhausted sleep.

She wasn’t unwilling to do such things, but he wasn’t clear-headed right now. If they did it, she was afraid their relationship would become uncontrollable in the future, after all, he had the temperament of a child.

—

"Young Madam, are you awake? The old housekeeper from the estate has come."

She was woken up in the morning by the servants outside knocking on her door, only then did she groggily open her eyes.

The old housekeeper? So early?

Yin Hehe could not help but get up, glanced at the man beside her who was still asleep, didn’t disturb him, and dressed before quietly slipping out of the room.

"Uncle Butler, good morning!"

And indeed, as soon as she came out, she saw an elderly man in a thick cotton-padded jacket standing there in the courtyard, blanketed with snow, waiting for her.

"Good morning, Xiaoyin. It snowed last night. Did you sleep well? Are the warming measures in place here alright? Any problems with the heating?"

Upon seeing Yin Hehe, the old housekeeper first inquired about these matters with concern.

Yin Hehe immediately felt a warmth in her heart.

"Everything’s fine, this place was the ancestral home of the Shen Family after all, it definitely wouldn’t be lacking."

"That’s true!" The old housekeeper also smiled and nodded.

He stepped forward and had some living supplies that he had brought along moved inside by the people behind him.

"These are all items ordered by the old general to be brought over. Although this place is their ancestral home, it’s rarely lived in and might be short on some household goods, so we’ve brought along a complete set for you."

"Great, thank you to the old general!" Yin Hehe was not shy about accepting them.

After storing the goods, the old housekeeper then got down to the real business at hand.

"I’ve come mainly because the lunar month is approaching, and as per tradition, the Xiahou Family’s festival preparations are always managed by Chu Feng’e. Now that they’re no longer in charge, the old general would like you to take responsibility."

Who would have thought? The old housekeeper immediately delivered such a message.

Yin Hehe’s eyes widened.

"Me, take responsibility? I don’t even know how to do these things. Can you teach me?"

"No problem, I’ll teach you at the beginning, and you’ll gradually get the hang of it."

The old housekeeper reassured her with a beaming smile.

Yin Hehe: "..."

She thought back to the funeral she had presided over at He’anli a few days ago, furrowed her brows, and finally said, "Uncle Zhong, we won’t be staying here long, so you shouldn’t entrust these matters to me."

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, the expression of the old housekeeper in front of her changed immediately with astonishment.

"Why can’t you stay here long? You’re already part of this family, where would you go if not here?" he asked anxiously and in surprise.

Yin Hehe smiled, "We naturally want to return to Jiangbei. This place, it’s not suitable for us. Besides, if he were clear-headed, he wouldn’t want to stay here either."

"..."

The butler was so anxious that he was jumping up and down, but at this point, he couldn’t continue speaking, because some matters were not within his capacity to discuss as just the steward of the house.

The butler rushed back in a hurry.

Cheng Chi saw this from behind and came over.

"Madam, by being so straightforward with him, won’t you risk being forcibly detained by Xiahou Yi once he finds out?"

He asked, quite worried.

Yin Hehe glanced in the direction of the bedroom, her expression remaining calm, "You’re overthinking it, Ayuan is already in such a condition, he is only keeping him here for appearances. Once the storm passes, if I wish to take him away, that old man naturally won’t hold onto him anymore."

"That’s a relief!" Cheng Chi let out a long sigh.

And indeed, as Yin Hehe had anticipated, it wasn’t much later after the butler returned that a phone call came from the estate.

"Xiaoyin, I’ve discussed the matter you just mentioned with the old general, and he has no objections. However, he hopes that you will still handle this year’s end arrangements; he can’t find anyone else now."

"...Alright then."

Upon hearing this, Yin Hehe could only agree.

The year-end arrangements probably involved buying New Year’s goods and such, which she guessed wouldn’t be too big of a deal. She would just have to work hard and get it done.

She wanted to go back to Jiangbei for the New Year anyway.

That very day, Yin Hehe went to the estate.

"Xiaoyin, you’re here." The butler was very pleased to see her arrive.

When Yin Hehe arrived at the entrance of the main hall, she saw that the old general, who was usually inside, was absent, which somewhat surprised her.

"Is the old general not here?"

"He’s not, he got a phone call this morning from Jingmu; must be something important."

The butler briefly explained, then nonchalantly picked up two thick account books from the table behind him.

Yin Hehe was taken aback, "What’s this?"

The butler, "These are the family account books, every household is listed here, first calculate the total income in this general ledger, then distribute it to them according to the customer ratio."

"!!!!"

Was this a joke? Wasn’t she supposed to buy New Year’s goods? And now they wanted her to distribute account books?

Yin Hehe was suddenly overwhelmed.

"Uncle Zhong, I can’t do this, I’ve never done anything like this before."

"Don’t worry, I’ll teach you," the butler grinned like a sly fox.

"Besides, Xiaoyin, you are such a formidable lawyer, and they say lawyers also rely on their brains for a living, so this little thing won’t stump you."

"..."

Yin Hehe was left speechless.

Having no choice, she spent the afternoon at the estate going over these accounts, and what was outrageous was that, while she did work out the total accounts, once she got to distributing them to each household, she had to break it down even further.

For example, for Xiahou Jingmu’s family, with now six members, distribution had to be calculated per capita, including not just cash but also various investment dividends, and it was actually getting down to the detail of buying the actual New Year’s goods.

Yin Hehe was about to freak out.

"I can’t do this; I need to call my husband."

She suddenly thought of this helpful idea, so she put down her pen and stood up.

But as she was leaving the courtyard, she suddenly saw several servants running out from the back with panicked expressions.

"What’s happened?" she immediately grabbed a servant and asked.

"Young mistress, it’s terrible, the old general and Young Master Jingmu have been in a car accident on their way back."

"What?"

Yin Hehe’s face instantly turned pale!
