Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 309 - 277: The Quarreling Siblings (Part 2)
"Hello, I’m Yin Shixiu. You can call me brother-in-law or brother."
"Mmm... Sister Xiaomeng seems to call you uncle..."
Su Xiaomeng quickly glared at Su Jin, her face turned red in an instant.
"Do you think I really look that old, like I’m at an uncle’s level?"
Su Jin laughed, "Brother-in-law doesn’t look old at all."
Yin Shixiu was slightly satisfied, took Su Xiaomeng’s suitcase in one hand, and tried to take Su Jin’s suitcase with the other hand.
"No need, brother-in-law, I can push it myself, it’s not heavy."
Su Jin quickly said.
"Alright, then you push it, be careful."
"Mm."
Su Jin pushed the suitcase following behind Yin Shixiu and Xiaomeng, as usual following the person leading the way, without looking around.
It was her first time in Beijing, but she didn’t have too many marvels about this bustling metropolis.
She only felt that there wasn’t much difference between this airport and the Chengdu airport.
The only noticeable difference for Su Jin was that Beijing airport seemed to have a much larger flow of people than Chengdu airport, making it seem a bit crowded and noisier.
Yin Shixiu noticed the swelling under Su Xiaomeng’s hair on her forehead after getting in the car.
"What happened to your head?"
Su Xiaomeng being hit by a teacup by Zhou Wenxiu was something she didn’t tell him, afraid of upsetting him.
"Carelessly—"
"Zhou Wenxiu hit her with a teacup."
Seeing how Su Xiaomeng looked, Su Jin knew she wasn’t going to tell the truth, so she spoke up first.
Su Xiaomeng held her forehead, thinking her little sister spoke too quickly.
She didn’t want to say it as explaining it would be a hassle... There was a whole long story to say, and honestly, she didn’t want to bring up the Su Jianyi family again.
Yin Shixiu glanced at her without speaking.
Su Xiaomeng felt a buzz in her head, instinctively sensing something was wrong.
She didn’t dare make a sound afterward and stayed quietly in the car until they arrived home.
They got home at four.
Ah Su knew Xiaomeng was coming home today, so she picked up Shuangshuang and Huang Huang from their grandparents’ place.
"Fourth Young Master, Young Madam."
"Ah Su, you’re here!"
Xiaomeng exclaimed with surprise, knowing Ah Su’s presence meant her long unseen daughter and son were also here.
But before she could get into the room to see the children, Yin Shixiu pulled her by the collar.
"Wait a minute."
Su Xiaomeng was stunned for a moment.
Yin Shixiu carried the suitcase inside, asked Ah Su to get a pair of slippers for Su Jin, and then led her to the sofa to sit down.
He brushed aside her hair, looking at the swollen and bruised bump.
His gaze was steady and intense, staring at her bump without saying a word, making Su Xiaomeng feel uneasy.
"Did you get it treated at the hospital?"
After a long while, Yin Shixiu finally asked.
"Huh? It’s just a little bump, it’s fine, if you rub an egg on it for a few days, it will definitely go down, don’t worry."
Yin Shixiu looked down at her, gave her a flick on the bump, quite mischievously.
"Ah! It hurts!"
Su Xiaomeng quickly covered her forehead, glaring at him.
"I thought you didn’t feel any pain."
Yin Shixiu sarcastically said, then got up and went to the storage room.
Xiaomeng felt indignant inside, what kind of man is this!
He applied some swelling and bruise ointment for her.
Xiaomeng saw his careful and gentle approach when applying the ointment with a cotton swab on her bump... it was very tender.
She couldn’t help but lower her eyebrows and mutter, "That Zhou Wenxiu is just a madwoman... It wasn’t me who provoked her first, it was her—"
"Alright, go see Shuangshuang and Huang Huang."
Yin Shixiu put away the ointment on the coffee table and told her.
Xiaomeng lifted her eyes, sneaked a glance at Yin Shixiu, and cautiously asked, "Are you... angry?"
"What’s there to be angry about? It’s good for you to suffer a bit and learn a lesson."
After he finished speaking, Yin Shixiu turned to Su Jin, sitting to the side, "If you want something to drink, let Ah Su get it for you, or you can choose something from the fridge yourself, I’m going to change my clothes."
"Oh, okay."
With that, Yin Shixiu went into the bedroom.
Su Jin looked at Su Xiaomeng and quietly asked, "Brother-in-law, is he really angry?"
Xiaomeng propped up her head, "I don’t know if he’s angry, but he’s definitely upset... That’s why I hate the Su Jianyi family, sigh!"
Su Jin touched her nose, watching Xiaomeng like this, she found it quite refreshing.
"Do you want to come in and see my daughter and son?"
Su Jin nodded, didn’t even drink water, and followed Xiaomeng into the nursery.
Both Shuangshuang and Huang Huang were sleeping.
Xiaomeng quietly led Su Jin to the edge of the crib near the door, proudly pointing to the little one in pink clothes and said to Su Jin, "My daughter, her nickname is Shuangshuang, her full name is Jinxi."
Su Jin leaned her head closer to look, only to see the little one waking up, those bright black eyes looking at them, and when the little one’s gaze landed on Su Xiaomeng, it noticeably brightened a bit more.
Immediately, she murmured, "Mom..."
Xiaomeng saw her little one waking up, hurriedly smiling and picked her up, "Shuangshuang darling, mommy’s back, did you miss mommy?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Xiaomeng kissed the little one’s head.
Su Jin stood nearby, so she could clearly see the little one’s expression. The face that seemed somewhat wooden while lying in the crib suddenly showed expression upon seeing Su Xiaomeng.
There was joy in the big eyes, excitement, and a deep sense of dependence.
But when Xiao Meng called out "Shuangshuang baby," the little one’s expression visibly froze for a moment.
"Mom... Shuangshuang... that..."
The little one’s expression returned to being wooden, staring at Su Xiaomeng, pointing a finger at the crib beside them, and calmly said.
"What? What does Shuangshuang want?"
Su Xiaomeng didn’t react for a moment.
"Shuang... Shuangshuang... that... that... that one..."
"Which one?"
Prince Huang became anxious at this point, squirming restlessly in Su Xiaomeng’s arms, very aggrieved that Su Xiaomeng mixed him up with Shuangshuang!
Su Jin realized when she noticed the little thing below Prince Huang’s open-crotch pants—
"Sister, this... seems to be your son, not your daughter..."
Su Xiaomeng was taken aback for a moment. Looking down, she realized it was true!
Looking back up, she met eyes with Prince Huang’s furrowed brows, his face showing no expression, looking somewhat awkwardly at Su Xiaomeng...
As if he felt wronged.
Even though Su Jin had never taken care of children, just seeing Prince Huang’s current expression, she could imagine what this little guy was thinking...
She watched Su Xiaomeng with curiosity about how she would console the child.
Who would have thought...
"Mom knows you’re Huanghuang, Mom is just playing with you!"
Huang Huang seemed to understand Su Xiaomeng’s meaning but was somewhat skeptical...
"That’s Shuangshuang, Mom recognized her at a glance."
Su Xiaomeng, with a straight face and steady heart, coaxed her child, while Su Jin watched from the side...
"Mom..."
Huang Huang’s eyes shifted as if losing interest in the matter, reaching out to wrap his arms around Su Xiaomeng’s neck, and proactively went up to kiss Xiaomeng.
"I’m good, Shuang... Shuang she, she’s not!"
"Shuang... Shuang..." Prince Huang babbled a string of words, no one could understand, except for the word Shuangshuang, and then...
"Noisy... annoying..."
With a disdainful expression and a waving gesture...
The meaning was probably that, when Mom was not around, he was very good, but Shuangshuang was not. She was noisy and annoying.
Su Xiaomeng didn’t know how these siblings interacted, and upon her return, Prince Huang immediately started to complain to her.
He was just over one year old, and already starting to complain...
"Uh..."
Apparently hearing the noise from this side, Shuangshuang also woke up.
As soon as she woke up, it was a big deal. Seeing Xiaomeng, who had returned at some unknown time, and also seeing Xiaomeng holding Prince Huang, looking very intimate...
She immediately broke down, wailing loudly.
Su Xiaomeng was startled, and Yin Shixiu, just finished changing his clothes, heard the child’s crying coming from the nursery, feeling a headache...
He walked in, and Su Xiaomeng turned around, looking at Yin Shixiu for help.
Yin Shixiu stepped forward to pick up the heartbrokenly crying Shuangshuang, "Dad holds, Daddy holds, Shuang’er don’t cry, don’t cry..."
"Woo hoo ah... ah... woo hoo hoo..."
The more Yin Shixiu consoled, the harder Shuangshuang cried, while Prince Huang clung to Su Xiaomeng’s shoulder, calmly watching Shuangshuang...
Su Jin listened to Shuangshuang’s piercing cries, her mind buzzing.
She only felt that quiet children were much better than noisy ones.
"Why is she crying so badly?"
Even Yin Shixiu was a bit dumbfounded.
Su Xiaomeng also looked bewildered...
Who would have thought that these two siblings already had a serious "sibling rivalry" mentality.
"Shuang’er, why are you crying?"
"Mom... Mom hold me... woo woo woo..."
Shuangshuang’s crying was heart-wrenching, and it turned out... it was a matter of sibling rivalry.
Upon hearing Shuangshuang’s cry, Su Xiaomeng hastily said to Prince Huang, "Mom also wants to hold sister, sister is crying too sadly. Okay?"
Prince Huang, without fussing, assumed an "I understand" look, nodding, "Oh!"
Su Xiaomeng quickly swapped with Yin Shixiu.
And then the brain-bursting cries slowly quieted down.
Su Jin inexplicably let out a sigh of relief.
Raising kids... isn’t easy.
At dinner, Shuangshuang and Huanghuang sat in their high baby chairs, each holding a small silver spoon, waiting for their meal with a small silver bowl.
Shuangshuang, forgetting her previous crying in an instant, was now bursting with inexplicable joy.
With a small silver spoon tightly clutched in her hand, she was tapping on the small table, "Food! Food!"
Prince Huang just leaned there, with a sidelong glance, staring motionlessly at Shuangshuang...
Su Jin saw Prince Huang’s expression and almost spat out the water she had just drunk!
That expression seemed like he thought Shuangshuang was crazy...
Little Meng had only been gone a few days, and upon returning, she found the siblings’ relationship had changed significantly.
So competitive! So combative!
Take eating for example, Ah Su served Prince Huang a small bowl of green bean and barley congee, boiled very thinly, like soup.
Huanghuang wasn’t picky about food and ate a lot.
