Chapter 348: Chapter 348: He Actually Used a Children’s Phone to Make a Call!

"Wait!"

Yin Hehe had not expected, that as soon as she finished speaking, the man actually threw away the icicle in his hand and strode towards the villa.

Yin Hehe was stunned.

"Husband, where are you going?" she asked, after snapping out of it, and quickly chased after him.

But she discovered that by the time she reached the living room, the man had already dumped his toy box all over the couch.

"Whoosh..."

All sorts of toys fell to the ground; to the uninformed, they might have thought these were children’s playthings.

However, as soon as Yin Hehe approached, she immediately noticed the tall and large man squatting among the toys, and then, with his distinct knuckles, he rifled through them and pulled out a children’s phone.

Yin Hehe: "..."

She just stared, dumbfounded, as he pressed several numbers and made a call; her expression was one of complete surprise.

This... this was just too absurd!!

"Hello?"

The call connected, and Xiahou Yi’s familiar voice came through, tinged with a hint of joy.

But the man showed no sign of happiness.

"Why are you troubling her?" he asked angrily.

Xiahou Yi was taken aback upon hearing this on the other end of the line.

"What trouble?"

"..." The man fell silent, turning his head to look at Yin Hehe who was standing right behind him.

Yin Hehe: "..."

It took her a while to come over and quickly grab the children’s phone from his hand.

"Junior General, that... well, there’s nothing much, just that Jingmu came over and said he wanted Shengshi Group to replace the Shen Family’s position and collaborate with them. I refused," she said, steeling herself.

Since things had come to this point, Yin Hehe spoke up anyway.

To her surprise, when the elderly man heard this, although Xiahou Jingmu had said it was his intention when he left, the man on the phone was now silent for a long time.

"Junior General?"

"I’m aware. I’ll handle this matter. If you’re not willing, we won’t make it difficult for you over here," said Xiahou Yi, making it clear that the proposal would not be forced.

Yin Hehe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That’s good, then... thank you, Junior General. How are you feeling now? I heard from Jingmu that you haven’t been well since leaving the hospital?"

Out of politeness, Yin Hehe still asked, expressing her concern.

However, Xiahou Yi seemed to downplay this in his response.

"It’s alright, just that recovery is slower at my age. How about you all? How have you been since returning? And him, has he gotten any better?" he asked, referring to the son who had almost driven him to fury just now.

Yin Hehe glanced at the man in front of her and realized he had already walked away, heading towards the dining room. She hurriedly followed him.

"We’re all doing quite well, Junior General, you needn’t worry. However, he remembered your phone number, which quite surprised me."

"Really?"

As she spoke, the voice of the elderly man on the other end obviously rose in pitch.

Yin Hehe nodded: "He even used a toy phone to call you. I don’t even know who bought him that phone."

As she spoke about it, she felt a mix of amusement and helplessness.

But the old man on the other end of the phone, upon hearing this, felt his eyes welling up with tears.

A son who, despite being silly, could remember his phone number in times of trouble and think to reach out to him.

He was already very grateful for that.

Xiahou Yi hung up the phone, and before long, he had someone call Xiahou Jingmu.

"The old general, what does the Junior General mean now? How can he make such a big decision without saying a word to you? Just doing as he pleases?"

The longtime butler, seeing him hang up the phone, couldn’t hide his dissatisfaction as he asked.

Indeed, the Xiahou Mansion was entirely unaware of Xiahou Jingmu’s trip to Jiangbei.

Xiahou Yi lay on the bed in silence for a long time.

It must have been about ten minutes later when the person sent out earlier returned.

"Old General, the Junior General has sent a message saying he will come to see you tonight; he still has matters to attend to."

"He dares not to come see you?" The butler’s face flushed with anger as he spoke.

The expression on Xiahou Yi’s face was also very grim.

But in the end, he said nothing and gestured with his hand for the man to leave, then laid back in bed, immersed in his thoughts.

During this period, he actually hadn’t been involved in the happenings there at all.

From initially sending Shen Weihuai to court, to the downfall of the Shen Family.

He had not inquired at all.

As for Xiahou Jingmu becoming the head of two crucial departments, he was even less aware of that.

"Old Zhong, go find someone for me. Tell him, I want to see him."

After lying on the bed for a long while, Xiahou Yi finally spoke up, asking the old butler to find someone for him.

And his expression, when he said these words, was almost heavy-hearted and disappointed, his turbid old eyes filled with a cold chill.

The butler left promptly.

However, that very day, before the butler could bring the person over, Xiahou Maoqing from far away He’anli came by first.

"Uncle, are you feeling any better? I’ve brought you a couple of free-range chickens to help you regain your strength."

Xiahou Maoqing arrived with several packages in hand, looking entirely like someone visiting a sick relative.

Xiahou Yi glanced at the items in his hands and, after a moment, still nodded.

"Much better, thanks for your concern."

"Uncle, you shouldn’t say such things. I will take the chickens to the kitchen and have them start stewing it for you right away."

Xiahou Maoqing turned and called a servant in, handing over the chickens he brought to be taken to the kitchen.

"How’s your wife now? Has she gotten any better?" Xiahou Yi looked at his nephew with concern and asked after his wife.

Hearing this, Xiahou Maoqing, who was pouring tea, smiled: "Much better, Uncle, you needn’t worry."

"That’s good to hear."

"By the way, I came over today because another matter is about to come up with the New Year approaching. I was wondering whom you had in mind for handling the Xiahou family’s dividend settlement this year?"

Suddenly, he brought this up.

Recently, Xiahou Yi had assigned the task to Yin Hehe, but with his subsequent car accident and the ensuing series of events, along with Yin Hehe’s return to Jiangbei, the matter had been put on hold.

Xiahou Yi thought for a moment while lying in bed and then asked, "Can your wife handle this?"

"What?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiahou Maoqing’s eyes immediately lit up.

"Uncle means... you want Shurong to take care of it? But what about sister-in-law Feng’e..."

"She’s lost her mind. How can she manage anything? Check if Shurong is up to it. If she has the energy, leave it to her this year."

Xiahou Yi gave a simple explanation, and with that, the matter was decided.

Xiahou Maoqing’s eyes gleamed.

This matter was something that only the future mistress of the Xiahou family would handle. Once taken over, it essentially signaled her recognition as the mistress within the clan.

Besides, there was a lot of profit to be made.

Xiahou Maoqing was overjoyed...
