Chapter 345: Let me walk you out, little auntie.
Chapter 345: Chapter 345: Let me walk you out, little auntie.
Yin Hehe informed the Sheng Family patriarch in Jiangbei of her impending return,
Upon hearing this, the old man was so moved that he wept openly over the phone.
"Good, good, when will you arrive? I’ll pick you up from the airport myself," he said, his voice choked with emotion.
Yin Hehe quickly declined.
"There’s no need, Cheng Chi will arrange for a helicopter to take us back, landing directly at Shengfei Bay. You can just wait for us there," she said.
"Okay," the old man agreed without hesitation.
That afternoon, Yin Hehe took Sheng Siyuan back to the Willow District because she needed to pack her luggage.
Sheng Siyuan certainly didn’t concern himself with such matters; he was still outside in the courtyard, feeding the red koi in the large water tank.
"Uncle, are you leaving?"
Before he knew it, Xiahou Jingmu had come inside and, upon seeing him feeding the fish, approached with a smile.
Sheng Siyuan looked up and swept him a cold glance, not engaging in conversation.
Seeing this, Xiahou Jingmu felt somewhat embarrassed and could only start walking inside to find Yin Hehe.
"Stop right there!"
Yet just as he was about to step forward, the man who had just been ignoring him suddenly moved to block his path.
"Who let you in?" he asked, holding a box of fish feed, his tone extremely frigid.
Xiahou Jingmu had no choice but to explain, "Uncle, you are about to leave, and I just wanted to say goodbye to her."
"No need!"
Unexpectedly, the man rejected him firmly once again.
"I’ve said it before; without my permission, no one is allowed to set foot in this place!"
His eyes, as he threw those words at him, were simply murderous.
Xiahou Jingmu dared not proceed any further.
After all, this man was not in his right mind at the moment and he feared forcing his way through could lead to something uncontrollable.
"Fine, then I won’t go in. Uncle, I had no other intentions, I just wanted to tell you that now you can return without worries and stay peacefully in Jiangbei. If you feel like coming back, just let me know, I can personally come to pick you up."
Xiahou Jingmu gave up on entering and, after some thought, just made his purpose clear from outside.
Of course, his voice was loud enough that the people inside could hear him without a doubt.
The man holding the fish feed looked even more sullen.
But at that moment, Yin Hehe, who had heard the noise from inside the house, came out.
"Junior General, it’s you. What brings you here?"
Surprised to see the young general, she walked up to the two men.
Xiahou Jingmu, seeing that she finally came out, showed a helpless expression.
"I heard that you were leaving and specifically came to see you off, but my uncle here stubbornly refuses to let me in," he pointed at the man in front of him, even starting to complain.
The man instantly tensed, his pupils contracting.
But Yin Hehe was there beside him, sensing the potential for trouble, she quickly grabbed the man about to erupt.
"Sorry, he’s a bit childlike at the moment. Junior General, you are kind to remember to come and see us off," she said.
Yin Hehe sincerely thanked him.
Because in her eyes, ever since she and the man beside her came to the Xiahou family, not a single person welcomed them as a couple; they faced difficulties at every turn, as if they feared their position would be usurped.
So, Yin Hehe hadn’t expected anyone would come to send her off.
Until this man arrived.
"It’s only right. Actually, I wanted you to stay. Now that the old master is not out of the hospital and cannot manage much, things would be easier for me if you were here," he said.
Xiahou Jingmu looked at the woman in front of him, his gaze brimming with earnest pleading.
Yin Hehe smiled, "The Junior General is so outstanding, I’m sure you can handle it well. All I want now is to take him back for some peaceful rest and to see if there’s any way for him to recover."
Yin Hehe turned towards the man next to her.
Having said this much, Xiahou Jingmu felt it was no longer appropriate to ask them to stay, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then left.
"Madam, does this mean that from now on, Xiahou will be the one in charge of the Xiaho Family?"
After he had left, Cheng Chi stepped forward and asked.
Yin Hehe shrugged, "Who knows? But, he is one of the more capable ones in the Xiaho Family. It shouldn’t be a problem to let him be the successor."
She appeared totally indifferent.
Because she knew, the man right in front of her who was happily packing and scurrying out with luggage was also indifferent to it all.
That afternoon, the couple took a helicopter back to Jiangbei.
Two days later, at Shengfei Bay in Jiangbei.
"Madam, these are the documents from the company, and also the president’s computer. I’ve brought them all over."
Early in the morning, President Secretary Chen Xiaosen delivered all the documents that needed processing from the company, including Sheng Siyuan’s computer.
Yin Hehe, startled by the amount, exclaimed.
"Did you bring everything for him? Didn’t I tell you to bring just a part of it? He hasn’t recovered yet, and his work depends on his mood. If you bring so much, what if he doesn’t want to do any of it?"
She complained to the secretary.
But Chen Xiaosen felt wronged, "I didn’t want to either. But when Vice President Cui heard that the president had come, he stopped handling these matters, saying he couldn’t continue with his duties."
"..."
Yin Hehe fell silent for a few seconds.
Vice President Cui had been extremely cautious about his work ever since there was an issue with the contract he sent via fax last time. He would only do what he was certain he could manage, never laying a finger on anything else.
Unexpectedly, upon their return, he had immediately relieved himself of his proxy responsibilities.
Yin Hehe had no choice but to bring the documents upstairs.
"Darling? What are you doing?"
When she pushed open the door to the man’s bedroom at the end of the corridor, Yin Hehe was surprised to find the man inside, standing by the window with a glass of red wine, his quiet silhouette in the sunlight making her pause in astonishment.
What’s going on?
Wasn’t he playing? How come he started drinking red wine?
Additionally, his posture really gave her the impression that he had recovered completely.
"What is this?"
He heard her voice and turned around.
Thus, Yin Hehe was faced with an extremely unhappy visage; he frowned at the wine glass in his hand, the look of disdain on his face as if what he held was poison.
Yin Hehe sighed.
"This is red wine, something you used to love drinking," she said, walking up to him.
Red wine?
Hearing this unfamiliar name, the man looked again at the item in his hand with doubt.
After a moment, he put it down with great distaste.
"It tastes so bad, was my brain damaged before?"
"..."
Yin Hehe couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
His brain wasn’t damaged before, but now it was...
