Chapter 382: Chapter 382: Birds of a Feather Flock Together

"Sister, you ask as if the answer isn’t obvious. Since I’m with him, that means we are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship," Hehe said.

Unexpectedly, Yin Xue, seeing Yin Hehe’s shock, gleefully took Sheng Huainan’s arm.

Yin Hehe: "..."

For several seconds, she was so taken aback by the sight of these two that she was at a loss for words.

On the other hand, Sheng Siyuan, witnessing the scene, had no particular reaction. He simply glanced at Sheng Huainan with a pair of cold, warning black eyes and continued to ascend the stairs with Yin Hehe’s hand in his.

Yin Hehe: "Husband, they..."

Sheng Siyuan: "Birds of a feather flock together, there’s nothing surprising in that."

"..."

It wasn’t until both of them had gone upstairs.

On the third floor, Yin Xue looked up, her face filled with jealousy and gritted teeth.

"That bitch, I thought she was dead in the capital. I didn’t expect her to come back and still be sitting above me."

"No need to rush," Sheng Huainan said nonchalantly, comforting her.

"Once you become the second lady of the Sheng Family, won’t you be on an equal footing with her?"

He had actually offered her such a tempting promise.

Yin Xue immediately turned to him: "Are you serious? Will you really marry me?"

She was too excited.

Because now in Jiangbei, no man dared to marry her. Anyone with a bit of status would shun her like the plague upon hearing her name.

So, the words that Sheng Huainan said to her were undoubtedly the greatest temptation.

Sheng Huainan nodded: "Of course I mean it. If you’re willing, when you go upstairs later, you can tell your grandfather about it."

"Yes!" Yin Xue agreed without hesitation.

--

The Baiqing Building tower.

After Yin Hehe and Sheng Siyuan came up, they indeed received a warm welcome from the old patriarch.

"My dear grandson-in-law, since you’ve been back these few months, the company must have stabilized, right? If there’s anyone daring to gossip about you outside, remember to tell me, I’ll take care of it for you," the old patriarch offered warmly after pouring a pot of hot tea.

When Yin Hehe and Siyuan first returned from the capital, indeed many people were speculating about Siyuan’s identity. After all, the commotion at the end of the year in the capital couldn’t have been small.

As a result, Hehe had been quite troubled during that time.

She had dealt with many rumor-mongering accounts and even caught and sued a few behind-the-scenes instigators as a warning to others.

It had finally quieted down somewhat by now.

"It has settled down more or less, but if there’s really any trouble, I’ll talk to the old patriarch about it," Siyuan responded, a rare occasion when he accepted someone’s offer of help. He picked up the teapot on the table and personally poured a cup of tea for the Yin Family patriarch.

Because he knew that in terms of prestige in Jiangbei, even Sheng Huang probably didn’t hold as much clout as this patriarch of the Yin Family.

The old patriarch chuckled.

"Why so polite, we’re all family here. But there’s another matter, about this girl’s shares in the Baiqing Building. Your father came to me a while ago; he said that now you’re the lady of Shengshi Group and have no need for these shares, he wants to claim them for himself. What do you think?"

The old patriarch brought up another issue after drinking the cup of tea.

Yin Hehe’s shares, of course, came from that time when she held the state banquet and Yin Rong had the audacity to make a scene at Baiqing Building, almost causing its downfall.

It was then that the old patriarch stripped him of his shares.

Yet afterward, the old patriarch didn’t keep the shares for himself but gave them to Yin Hehe to inherit.

She never imagined her esteemed father, Yin Rong, now wanted it back.

Yin Hehe’s eyes grew cool, "Old Master, I’ve heard that the clan has always obstructed Sister Jinxiu from marrying my brother on the grounds that she has no family background, is that true?"

"Ah?"

The old master was caught off guard by the remark.

Just then, Yin Beixiao, who had brought up the guest gift list, turned bright red when he overheard the conversation.

"It’s not the clan. You know, Jinxiu has little to do with those clan members, and I’ve been mentoring her. She’s a capable girl. How could we obstruct her?"

"So, it’s still my father?"

Yin Hehe immediately lifted her eyes to the old master.

The old master nodded, "Yes, Jinxiu is a girl of deep loyalty. Your dad always brings up your mom’s affairs, accusing her of lingering in Baiqing Building without leaving, implying she has ulterior motives towards Beixiao, sigh..."

At the end, the old master sighed deeply.

Yin Hehe: "..."

Before she could say anything, she noticed that Yin Beixiao had already strode over with a livid face, slamming the gift list onto the table and cursing, "What ulterior motives? That was just Yin Rong venting his personal spite and deliberately making things difficult for her."

Old master: "..."

Yin Hehe: "Brother, what are you doing? This is the Old Master, please pick up the list of gift money."

"Oh oh~~" The naive Yin Beixiao then hurriedly picked up the gift list he had thrown onto the table.

Sheng Siyuan, who had been watching from the side, said nothing, just raised his cup of tea and took a sip, looking away as though he saw nothing.

"What does Hehe mean now?"

"I’d like to ask the Old Master to bear witness for me, to make Sister Jinxiu my mother’s adopted daughter. That way, we’ll be one family, and the shares will belong to both her and me."

Yin Hehe laid out her plan calmly and deliberately.

In an instant, a collective gasp echoed throughout the penthouse as her words settled.

Baiqing Building is no longer a small tavern now, with a yearly business over a hundred million, not including other business developments. One can imagine how much money these shares would fetch.

Yet now this woman nonchalantly spoke of giving the inheritance to Jinxiu.

Everyone was shocked to their core.

Even Yin Beixiao immediately came before Yin Hehe.

"Xiaohe, are you joking? You’re giving her the inheritance? Do you realize how large that sum is?"

"I know," Yin Hehe put down her tea cup and looked at her brother with a smile.

"Yet you still give it?"

"Of course I’ll give it. You’re my brother, and she’s my sister, the closest family I have in this world. Giving it to you both is like giving it to myself, isn’t it?"

Yin Hehe continued to explain, beaming, and the sincerity in her eyes revealed there wasn’t a trace of falsehood.

At last, Yin Beixiao’s eyes reddened.

Just as he was about to speak, the elevator dinged. Hearing the news, Jinxiu, too, ran out in excitement.

"Hehe, you can’t do this. This is what Auntie left for you, you shouldn’t do this!"

She dashed to Yin Hehe, grasping her wrist and crying out, barely stopping herself from kneeling to Yin Hehe.

Indeed, how could she bear such a heavy kindness from mother and daughter?

Back in the day, alone and destitute, it was her mother who had given her warmth and paid for her education, ensuring she had a place in society once she left school, with a skill to rely on.

But now, Auntie’s daughter wanted to give her everything. How could she bear it?

Could this shorten her life?
