Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 334 - 299: Three Old Men Like Children 2

Yin Shaohui was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Brother, you really have quite the humor, Xiao Jin and your grandson really aren’t a match."

"Why aren’t they a match?"

"They’re just not a match everywhere!"

"No, brother, you can’t say that."

"What did I say wrong? With your Ming Lang’s clueless nature, isn’t matching him with Su Jin ruining the young girl?"

"Brother, we can chat, but let’s not engage in personal attacks."

"I’m just speaking the truth, where’s the personal attack?"

Bai Fengmao said, looking rightfully justified.

Yin Shaohui and Zhou Mengqin had always respected Bai Fengmao, it really wasn’t worth breaking ties with him over this, but...

"We still have to consider Xiao Jin’s opinion, maybe she actually likes Ming Lang’s cute personality!"

"Is she crazy?"

Bai Fengmao said mercilessly, even rolling his eyes.

This made Yin Shaohui’s old face unable to hang.

Zhou Mengqin had a gentle appearance, but internally, she wasn’t someone to easily concede.

"If Ming Lang isn’t suitable, then there’s Ming Xu. Ming Xu’s personality is mature and steady."

"Let’s talk after he comes back, okay? Sister."

Zhou Mengqin frowned slightly.

"I don’t mean to curse your grandson, but you should ask your husband about the disability rate of that troop."

Yin Shaohui’s heart sank.

For a moment, he had nothing to say to Bai Fengmao, only feeling that today’s walk really was in the wrong place.

Seeing Yin Shaohui and Zhou Mengqin deflated, Bai Fengmao proudly took a sip of tea.

It’s the same Su family girls, and yet the old couple treats them so differently.

He had to give them a little jab.

Later, they skipped this topic, and shortly after, Yin Shaohui and Zhou Mengqin left.

After the door of Yijing Manor was closed.

Bai Fengmao strolled around leisurely with his hands behind his back, humming a Peking Opera tune, feeling exceptionally cheerful!

"Heave mountains with might, overshadow the world, when unfavorable times hinder progress, what can be done when progress won’t be made oh..."

Yin Shaohui and Zhou Mengqin didn’t walk far, muttering, "That old brother is just like a child, talking as if he acknowledged a granddaughter-in-law, and she would surely marry into his family!"

Zhou Mengqin looked at Yin Shaohui, and actually felt...

The husband was quite like a child too.

"Alright, let him say what he wants, actually I think Brother Bai is getting back at us..."

"Getting back?"

So this is why Old Madam Yin is so perceptive...

"Brother Bai really dotes on Xiao Meng, and thinking back then, we troubled her quite a bit for her family background not matching Shixiu. Now we’re interested in another Su family girl, his heart is surely unbalanced."

Yin Shaohui really hadn’t thought of this layer.

Zhou Mengqin sighed...

It wasn’t that she and her husband actually looked down on Xiao Meng, or had any differential treatment.

It’s just...

They had also changed.

Precisely because having a daughter-in-law like Xiao Meng made them feel...

Family background might not be so important after all.

An aristocratic lineage doesn’t necessarily understand things, and coming from a humble background doesn’t mean lower status.

Moreover...

Su Jin, that young girl, is independent and smart, simple yet generous.

She’s a good seed.

In early November, with the arrival of cold air, the Bai family’s Young Master Bai Shunyuan was going abroad.

The night before departure, he packed two large suitcases, laying alone on his big bed.

With earphones in, playing rock music.

He stared at the ceiling, feeling a bit inexplicably anxious in his heart.

Around ten o’clock, he sent a text to Su Jin.

—— Do you still have that jasmine tea your family makes?

Su Jin’s reply came at midnight, after she finished reading and taking a bath.

—— Yes, do you want it?

—— Do you always reply to texts this late?

—— No, I was reading just now.

Reading, reading! Reading your sister’s book!

Bai Shunyuan took a deep breath, sweating from frustration.

—— Do you want that tea? I still have two small bags.

—— Yes!! My flight is at ten tomorrow morning.

Su Jin stared at the message, pondering its meaning, then replied

—— Okay, got it.

Only then did Bai Shunyuan’s lips slightly curl, turning off the music to sleep.

Early the next morning, Bai Shunyuan’s mother, Hua Muyu, accompanied him to the airport.

Bai Sidong had returned home very late last night, and left home earlier than Bai Shunyuan this morning.

He had only asked his wife to remind Bai Shunyuan a few more times.

Bai Shunyuan had already become accustomed to not having his dad around.

Anyway, that fellow always believed he was already a man, with nothing to worry about.

This issue had caused disputes between father and son too, but in the end, Bai Shunyuan was utterly defeated.

After all...

He would have to admit he wasn’t a man to win against Bai Sidong.

How awkward would that be?

"Once you arrive in Washington, make sure to send a message back to let us know you’re safe, don’t make your mom worry."

"Oh."

Bai Shunyuan held his phone, the screen flickering on and off.

"Waiting for someone’s call?"

"No, just feeling bored."

Bai Shunyuan looked out the car window.

Hua Muyu patted his head. Her son was much taller than her, so she had to stretch her hand long to pat his head.

"When you finish your three-year graduate program, you’ll be about twenty-six or seven. Speaking of which, son..."

"Hmm?"

"Do you like western girls?"

"Have you ever thought about bringing me a foreign daughter-in-law? Otherwise, if you wait until you come back to find a girlfriend or something...then getting married and having kids will be after thirty!"

"Hmm... apart from your third granduncle’s house having a foreign daughter-in-law, our big family really doesn’t have any foreign blood."

"A foreign daughter-in-law wouldn’t be bad either, pick someone tall, slim, and fair-skinned, the genes for future kids will surely be good."

"Mom, do you regret not marrying a foreigner?"

Bai Shunyuan glanced at her, and continued to look at his phone, speaking intermittently, "You should record what you say for Dad to hear."

"Tsk tsk!"

Hua Muyu wagged her finger, looking smug, and said, "Those foreigners can’t compare to your dad."

"Really? I can’t see what’s good about Bai Sidong. How are they no match for Dad?"

"In every way."

Hua Muyu cupped her cheeks in her hands, Bai Shunyuan, listening to this sweet and full of happiness voice, glanced over at her...

But quickly retracted his gaze.

Just shaking his head in his heart.

Beauty is in the eye of the lover.

In his opinion, Bai Sidong was selfish and weak, irresponsible and childish, with a pale pretty face...

The mother and son chatted on and off, an hour later, the car stopped at the airport entrance.

Bai Shunyuan pushed his two large suitcases, and Hua Muyu followed him in.

"If there’s nothing else, you can head back."

"In such a hurry to send me off?"

"No, if you want to go to the United States with me, that’s fine too. I’m just worried that later..."

Bai Shunyuan scratched the short hair on his head, "You’ll be sad..."

Hua Muyu was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled softly and hugged Bai Shunyuan, "Alright then, Mom won’t see you off. Take care of yourself; keep an eye on your luggage, don’t leave anything behind."

"Alright."

Bai Shunyuan patted Hua Muyu’s back, "Take good care of yourself. Visit Grandpa more often, whether Dad’s at home or not, it’s all the same."

"If your dad hears this, he would definitely spit blood."

Bai Shunyuan felt a bit uncomfortable inside. Even at twenty-something years old, one would be reluctant to leave their mother...

"Call home often, and don’t tell me international calls are expensive. You’re not someone who saves money."

"Got it, I’ll be off then."

Bai Shunyuan said, then pushed his luggage through the door without looking back.

Even without looking back, he could imagine the teary eyes of Hua Muyu...

Figuring he was out of Hua Muyu’s line of sight, Bai Shunyuan took out his phone and sent Bai Sidong a text:

Take good care of Mom, don’t leave her alone at home, and if you ever get cheated on, I’ll definitely side with Mom.

For once, Bai Shunyuan received an immediate reply from Bai Sidong:

Got it, kid. Remember to check in once you get to the United States.

Looking at the message from his father, Bai Shunyuan took a deep breath and slightly smiled.

Having completed the check-in process, he hesitated to go through the security check.

Sitting in the lobby seat, he restlessly flipped through his phone.

It wasn’t even nine yet, Bai Shunyuan opened his contacts, gazing at Su Jin’s number, his finger rubbing it, feeling conflicted...

"Bai Shunyuan!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice called out.

Bai Shunyuan looked up in response to the voice, only to see Su Xiaomeng rushing over, with Yin Shixiu walking behind her...

What are they doing here?

Could it be...

Bai Shunyuan craned his neck towards Yin Shixiu’s back, but didn’t see the person he subconsciously hoped for.

"Where’s Su Jin? Why didn’t she come?"

Su Xiaomeng had just come to a stop in front of him when Bai Shunyuan asked.

He asked without realizing how abrupt his question was.

Su Xiaomeng blinked, confused, "Why would she be here?"

Bai Shunyuan frowned, looking at Su Xiaomeng, "Then why are you here?"

Su Xiaomeng was taken aback but then took a deep breath, barely holding back the urge to snap at him.

Bai Shunyuan is going abroad, as her cousin, could he not be a bit nicer to her?

She previously thought his attitude towards her had changed!

Bai Shunyuan scratched his hair, then realized he was a bit anxious...

"That’s not what I meant..."

"Grandpa asked me to see you off, and didn’t you want jasmine tea? Xiao Jin asked me to bring you two packs."

Saying that, Su Xiaomeng took the tea from her backpack and handed it to him.

Bai Shunyuan’s expression momentarily froze...

Seeing he wasn’t taking it, Su Xiaomeng couldn’t help but give the tea to him with a firm pat, "What are you spacing out for!"

The pat practically startled Bai Shunyuan, "Be gentle! The flowers will scatter!"

Su Xiaomeng looked at Bai Shunyuan as if he was a stranger...

The petals of the jasmine tea were already dry and loose, what does he mean the flowers will scatter with one pat?

He’s...not Lin Daiyu, why so protective of flowers?

Bai Shunyuan took the tea and put it in his backpack, "Thanks. Anything else? If not, I’m going in."

Su Xiaomeng sighed softly, then opened her arms to Bai Shunyuan, "Give me a hug, bro."
