Chapter 353: Chapter 353: Entanglement
Yin Hehe, in the end, couldn’t find those Baihua Cakes.
"The cakes were delivered in two boxes, but now we can only find one piece," the Auntie said.
Yin Hehe didn’t search any further.
She looked ahead at the figure that had already appeared before her, fell into thought for a moment, then decisively strolled forward to meet the person.
"Good morning, Junior General. Have you had breakfast yet?"
She greeted him with a smile, her pretty face radiant in the golden hue of the morning light in the garden, her bright eyes and white teeth outshining even the vibrant flowers behind her.
Xiahou Jingmu was momentarily dazzled.
He had seen many beautiful women.
But a woman with such an impeccable inside and outside, he truly met for the first time.
When is a woman most beautiful?
Actually, it’s when she looks at you with confidence and when she stands before you, yet you feel you can’t completely hold sway over her.
That is the most beautiful and most tempting.
"Good morning, I haven’t yet. What about you, Auntie?" Xiahou Jingmu walked over to the woman and replied with a smile of his own.
"I haven’t either. How about we eat and talk?"
Yin Hehe invited him briskly.
A few minutes later, the pair arrived at the kitchen courtyard, where Yin Hehe had the head cook bring breakfast to a small table in the yard, and they sat down opposite each other.
"Go ahead and eat, Junior General," Yin Hehe said, assuming the role of the host as she pushed a bowl of porridge towards him.
Xiahou Jingmu smiled and did not refuse.
"Actually, I’m a bit curious why someone like Auntie would be content just being a man’s woman behind the scenes?"
"Hmm?"
Yin Hehe, who was eating a steamed bun, lifted her head.
"Are you referring to your uncle? It’s not what you think, he has me doing plenty, I’m in charge of all the legal affairs in the company."
Yin Hehe corrected him, meanwhile discussing all the troublesome work in her hands.
She also showed an expression of headache.
There was indeed a lot to handle, especially now when Sheng Siyuan was completely unable to deal with company matters.
Yet this man still chuckled lightly upon hearing her.
"That’s also a bit of an underuse of talents. In my view, Auntie’s capabilities are more than enough even to take my uncle’s position," he said.
"That won’t do!" Yin Hehe immediately objected again.
"Let me tell you, I don’t understand business matters. My abilities are just enough to manage legal affairs," she stated.
"But I heard that, after you took over your law firm Landun abroad, you managed it quite well and its development has even surpassed its past."
Suddenly, he brought this up.
Yin Hehe, stuffing a steamed bun into her mouth, suddenly found it less appealing. She set it down and looked straight at him.
"Junior General, what exactly do you want to discuss with me? If you have something to say, please speak quickly. I need to get back to Jiangbei."
"It’s nothing else, just the topic we were on. I’d like to invite Auntie to join me in managing the Xiahou family," he finally revealed his intentions.
"As you can see, the Xiahou Family is very much in need of a lady of the house, and if Auntie is willing to stay, I would be very grateful," he said earnestly looking at the woman.
Yin Hehe fell silent.
Manage the Xiahou Family business?
Why should the Xiahou Family be managed? Now that the Shen Family has collapsed, no one is opposing the Xiahou Family anymore, isn’t it good just to live peacefully?
And, why should she be the one to manage it? Aren’t there enough women in the Xiahou Family?
His own mother, that particularly meddlesome Third Madam, and isn’t there still Chu Feng’e who might be insane right now?
Yin Hehe continued to eat the bun in her hand.
"Junior General, I’m sorry, but your uncle and I have already resigned to the old general before, and at that time, I remember telling you that we wouldn’t stay here. So, I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you."
She declined indifferently.
"But when you said that, Grandfather could still take care of the family. Now he’s lying in the hospital, and all the major and minor affairs of the family need me, I definitely can’t manage it all by myself, I must find an assistant."
Xiahou Jingmu continued to explain.
And this time, when his gaze fell upon her, his eyes were filled with pleading.
Yin Hehe smiled, "If that’s the case, I think your mother is very suitable. With the matters at He’anli, the old general entrusted them to your mother. Now, if all the internal affairs of the Xiahou Family are given to her, I think there should be no problem."
"Not just internal affairs, but also external matters." Who knew that he would suddenly switch topics and bring up the need to take care of outside matters as well?
Yin Hehe immediately stopped and asked, "Junior General, what are you referring to?"
"Now that the Shen Family has fallen, someone must take over the things they left behind. Grandfather instructed me before his fall that the Xiahou Family should take charge of these matters."
"So, those are what you’re talking about?"
"Yes!"
The man admitted it without any hesitation.
Yin Hehe finally understood, so she quickly finished the bun she was holding. Wiping her hands with a paper tissue, she said,
"Sorry, I’m still not interested. If Junior General has nothing else, then I’ll be leaving first."
After speaking, she stood up and prepared to leave.
Xiahou Jingmu didn’t rise, but just as the woman was about to step out of the courtyard, he spoke up, "But you are also a member of the Xiahou Family, and you have a responsibility in this matter."
"..."
Yin Hehe stopped and turned back to look at him.
"It seems we have never acknowledged that, Junior General. Are you perhaps mistaken?"
"Whether it’s acknowledged or not isn’t important. What’s important is that now the whole capital knows Sheng Siyuan is Grandfather’s youngest son. If Auntie doesn’t want to stay, I don’t mind going to Jiangbei to bring him over to take over this task!"
She had not expected, at the very end, for him to say such a thing.
Yin Hehe was finally provoked. Her pretty face went cold in an instant, and she turned around and walked back to the man’s side.
"Are you threatening me?"
"I wouldn’t dare. I am simply out of options. This family isn’t just mine; I hope everyone can contribute a little."
He still managed to speak such righteous words.
"Auntie, actually, you should consider it. If you stay and handle the Shen Family’s matters well, there won’t be a need for any other financial support. Otherwise, if we’re short on money here, as the Shengshi Group is the country’s number one financial conglomerate, it’s inevitable that you’ll have to bleed money."
"You—"
Yin Hehe was completely angered, losing her composure.
To her, other matters might be negotiable, but once it involved Sheng Siyuan and Shengshi Group, that was her bottom line!
"Xiahou Jingmu, I advise you it’s best not to push people too hard. Sometimes, if I spare you, and you spare me, everyone can live their lives easily."
She spoke word by word, no longer bothering with pleasantries. She pierced right through the pretense and began to issue a stern warning.
