Chapter 347 Who is the Yellow Sparrow?

Chapter 347: Chapter 347 Who is the Yellow Sparrow?

"Honey, you’re up? Why are you dressed so lightly to come downstairs? It’s snowing outside today; be careful not to catch a cold."

Yin Hehe immediately turned around and went back upstairs. Seeing that the man was wearing only a set of pajamas and slippers, she hurried upstairs to fetch his coat for him.

Xiahou Jingmu was watching from the living room.

In that instant, his eyes were filled with envy and jealousy; he hadn’t even noticed that the man had come down the stairs.

"What are you doing here?"

Similarly, Sheng Siyuan also disliked this person. After he entered the living room, two unwelcoming gazes swept over him, so cold they could freeze.

It was then that Xiahou Jingmu retracted his gaze.

"Uncle, I just came to see you, and Grandfather told me to come over."

He mentioned Xiahou Yi right off the bat.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the man was unimpressed, "No need, you can leave!"

He continued to speak bluntly.

Xiahou Jingmu’s face struggled to maintain composure, and just at that moment, Yin Hehe came down with a coat and shoes in her arms. He said, "Then I’ll leave now. Take care of yourselves."

With that, he headed towards the door.

Yin Hehe was stunned.

"Why are you leaving so soon? You’ve just arrived, and you haven’t even had a drink of water."

She quickly followed after him to persuade him to stay.

This was simply basic hospitality. Whenever there were guests, hosts were expected to ask them to stay politely.

Xiahou Jingmu also stopped and, looking back at the man who was glaring at him with a dark expression, said somewhat aggrievedly, "He doesn’t seem happy that I came."

Yin Hehe: "..."

Turning to glance at the man standing behind her, she sighed out of frustration and helplessness.

"You know his situation. Why bother with him? Sit down for a while. I’ll smooth things over with him."

Then Yin Hehe went back to Sheng Siyuan’s side with the clothes.

"Husband, he came to our house as a visitor today. You can’t be so unreasonable. After all, he is your nephew, understand?"

As she helped the man into his coat, she coaxed him gently.

Fortunately, seeing her gentle manner, the man finally agreed with great reluctance.

Afterward, wearing a thick coat, he went out to play in the snow, while Xiahou Jingmu was once again led by Yin Hehe into the living room, where she served him some fruit snacks.

"How is the old General doing now? He’s been discharged from the hospital, right?"

"Mm." Xiahou Jingmu took a sip from his water glass and nodded his head.

"But since coming home, he doesn’t really want to manage anything. He’s left everything to me. Did you see the news a few days ago? He had me take back those departments and then stopped caring about them."

As he spoke of these things, his brows were furrowed tightly, clearly showing how troubled he felt.

Yin Hehe was momentarily taken aback.

So it turned out that the sensation in the national news yesterday was all at the behest of Xiahou Yi, and this man had acted accordingly.

Yin Hehe relaxed slightly, "That’s good. He’s getting on in years. Someday he will have to let go. Letting you practice now is a good thing."

She comforted him sincerely.

Sure enough, upon hearing her words, a blush of embarrassment appeared on Xiahou Jingmu’s face, and he scratched the back of his head like a big boy, unable to hide his joy.

"You’re right, but there’s one thing that’s very troublesome right now. If I don’t handle it well, I suppose he won’t be satisfied, and outsiders will doubt my ability."

"What’s the matter?" Yin Hehe blurted out curiously.

Xiahou Jingmu hesitated for a moment before speaking, "The finances for those departments used to be supported by the Shen Family. As you know, they are in business, dealing with all the official business in the capital. Suddenly it’s in my hands, and I just don’t know how to handle it."

"Can’t you just not disturb the people they had before? Just maintain their original framework, and everything should function, right?"

Yin Hehe immediately offered a suggestion.

But this person shook his head again, "It’s no use, after Shen Weihuai was arrested, his team has been sealed off, and those structures have collapsed."

"..."

Was there such a thing?

However, if it was a governmental deal, a blanket cut was indeed possible.

Yin Hehe now had no solution either.

"So what do you plan to do? Can you find a new partner to work with again?"

Even at this time, she was still naively asking this question until she realized the person was already looking at her with hopeful anticipation.

"That’s what I’m thinking as well, which is why I came today—to see if you would agree?"

"..."

The living room grew quiet.

Yin Hehe focused her gaze on the person, realizing for the first time that she herself could also be trapped by others.

Was it because he was too sincere?

Or was it because his eyes really seemed incapable of deception?

Yin Hehe watched quietly for several seconds until Xiahou Jingmu could nearly no longer bear it before she finally spoke, "No, Shengshi Group may not be mine, but I can tell you right now that it will absolutely not get involved in the power circles."

Her gaze cooled as she clearly rejected the person.

Xiahou Jingmu’s face immediately changed.

"I apologize for my abruptness, but this shouldn’t count as a power circle, right? It’s all legitimate business. Don’t you want to make money? Working with the government could be very profitable!" he questioned, puzzled.

On hearing this, a trace of mockery flickered across Yin Hehe’s lips. "Is that so? Then why has the Shen Family ended up this way? The Sheng Family has had a longtime rule not to collaborate with the government."

She gave that clear answer once more.

As her words fell, Xiahou Jingmu could no longer maintain his composure. He stood up without saying anything else, merely sweeping a glance outside where the man was absorbed in play in the snow.

"Think it over again. After all, you are also part of the Xiahou Family. If you agree, I guarantee that no company in the world will be able to compete with Shengshi Group!"

"..."

"That’s also the old master’s wish," he added at last.

Xiahou Yi?

He would allow him to do this? If I remember correctly, the old man never dared to touch Shengshi Group because he was afraid of provoking Siyuan’s wrath.

Yin Hehe did not argue further.

She too stood up, her gaze landing on the man outside, but with much gentler eyes.

"Junior General, it’s better not to be too greedy in this world. I think Ayuan and I are living very well now; our company is doing just fine. So, we don’t need to grow any larger," she said.

"You—"

With those words said, the young general finally lost his composure, his face turning pale.

He could not understand why this woman would refuse such a good opportunity.

Did she not desire power? Money? Everything in this world?

When Xiahou Jingmu finally left, he could not maintain his demeanor, abruptly suggesting that Yin Hehe reconsider.

Then he walked away.

Yin Hehe watched him go, waiting until the manor’s gates slowly closed, and then she descended the steps and joined the man in the garden, who was still fiddling with the ice in the snow.

"Husband, what should we do? We seem to have invited new trouble," she said, hanging her head in distress in front of the man.

Not that he could understand anyway.
