Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 345 - 311: Something’s Not Right (1)

The most seriously injured should be Yin Shixiu.

Chen Lan closed his eyes, as if he could see that black Audi coming toward them with the dark aura of death.

When he opened his eyes again, his back felt cold.

Yin Shixiu lay on the hospital bed, his eyes covered with white gauze, his neck wrapped in a heavy neck brace, with faint traces of red blood visible on the left side of his neck.

One phone call after another, Mr. Bill on the other side knew they had a car accident halfway and quickly dispatched someone to greet them.

This made Chen Lan have a different view of Mr. Bill, who was rumored to be difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, the big boss was out of life-threatening danger, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The Big Ben struck twelve times, and Chen Lan tiredly put down his phone. He had almost finished the confidentiality work after the accident.

He had just sat down, and before Yin Shixiu’s phone could be placed on the coffee table, it suddenly vibrated in his hand...

Chen Lan saw the caller ID with the words "Mrs. Meng," and his heart panicked.

Yin Shixiu hadn’t woken up, and he didn’t know whether to tell Su Xiaomeng.

According to Yin Shixiu’s words before he fell into a coma, he should not notify the family back home for now...

But...

Chen Lan felt that if he answered the call, he wouldn’t be able to keep it a secret.

Thinking that Su Xiaomeng couldn’t have called simply because she knew about the car accident, there should be no urgent matter.

So he let it be and didn’t answer.

Su Xiaomeng sat in the classroom, staring at her phone after making just one call, which no one answered...

She knew it was still deep night in London, and Yin Shixiu should have already gone to bed.

But for some reason, she felt very uneasy.

Considering someone like Yin Shixiu, attending any public event, he would have bodyguards, and the house and company were both connected to alarm systems...

What could possibly happen?

But the person she held dear to her heart was in a country far beyond her reach...

If she started letting her mind wander, the more she thought, the more anxious she felt, frightening herself.

Like the saying that if your eyelid twitches, it means you haven’t slept well, which is normal. But at this moment, she muttered the superstitious phrase:

"Left eye twitches for wealth, right eye twitches for disaster."

And it was her right eye that was twitching.

Su Xiaomeng took a deep breath, shook her head, stopped overthinking, and focused on her class.

She thought, when Yin Shixiu woke up and saw her call, he would probably call back.

All she had to do was wait.

After the morning class, Su Xiaomeng had the driver take her to the Yin Mansion to pick up Shuangshuang and Huanghuang.

It was just lunchtime when she arrived at the Yin Mansion.

Shuangshuang and Huanghuang were wearing the new down jackets their grandparents had bought for them.

One was dressed all in red, the other in all black, both wearing little tiger hats covering their ears.

The two were running around in the yard, with the servants watching nearby.

"If you’re too busy, just leave the children here. You can pick them up after your exams. With Shixiu not here, can you manage looking after both kids alone?"

Zhou Mengqin asked.

Su Xiaomeng stood by the door to the yard, watching the two children play, "It’s fine for a couple of days, but if they’re away too long, they’ll definitely be troublesome."

"Shuangshuang is fine, but Huanghuang, he’s quite a handful, like the old fourth," Zhou Mengqin laughed.

Su Xiaomeng replied, "He’ll be back next week after this week passes."

"Madam, Young Madam, lunch is ready," a servant approached and said to them.

"Ah Su, take Shuangshuang and Huanghuang to wash their hands, it’s time for lunch," Zhou Mengqin said as she and Su Xiaomeng went to the living room first.

Xiaomeng wasn’t feeling well all day and yawned when she sat down.

Zhou Mengqin said, "Don’t study too late at night. The University of Bath’s entrance exams only sound difficult. Just approach them with a regular mindset."

"No, it’s just that I didn’t sleep well last night. I had a nightmare," Su Xiaomeng confessed, embarrassed, "So today, my right eyelid keeps twitching all day, feeling like something bad is going to happen."

Yin Shaohui walked in with a cane, sat down, and smiled, "If you want to talk about bad things, would your mother-in-law almost being abducted yesterday count?"

Su Xiaomeng was stunned for a moment, unable to process it. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Zhou Mengqin quickly glared at Yin Shaohui, "What nonsense are you saying!"

Su Xiaomeng also thought Yin Shaohui must be joking...

"If it weren’t for a kind young woman bringing you back, wouldn’t you have been taken?"

"My bag was stolen, but I certainly didn’t become lost, did I?"

"Your bag was stolen?"

Su Xiaomeng was surprised, "What happened?"

Zhou Mengqin didn’t really want to bring it up, but since Yin Shaohui did, and seeing Su Xiaomeng’s worried expression, she explained, "Yesterday, I wanted to buy some new clothes for Shuangshuang and Huanghuang, but I hadn’t been to the mall in so long, and I didn’t know what day it was yesterday, the mall was so crowded."

"I got separated from the housekeeper, and when I had finished shopping and was waiting outside, someone on a motorcycle sped by and yanked my bag away."

Imagining the scene, Su Xiaomeng quickly asked, "You weren’t hurt, were you?"

"No, I was dressed warmly, just my arm got bumped a bit."

"Did the housekeeper not find you later?"

Talking about this, Su Xiaomeng couldn’t help but glance at Old Lin Housekeeper standing by, "This old guy isn’t as quick as me."

Old Lin Housekeeper chuckled on the side.

Su Xiaomeng exhaled a long breath, "No wonder I felt uneasy all day, turned out it was because of you, Mom."

"You little girl, don’t blame everything on me."

Su Xiaomeng chuckled lightly. Although it was somewhat superstitious, the psychological implication of things can sometimes be quite significant.

"Speaking of which, the young girl who sent your mother-in-law back yesterday looked familiar, but I can’t recall where I’ve seen her before."

Yin Shaohui said casually.

"Didn’t you ask?"

"The young girl left quickly. I wanted to properly thank her, but she didn’t even leave her name, just sent your mother-in-law home and left."

"Maybe she’s just low-key,"

Su Xiaomeng said.

Yin Shaohui nodded, "Probably. Xiao Meng, eat more, the cooking skills of the two chefs at home are quite good."

"Okay."

After lunch, Su Xiaomeng took Shuangshuang and Huanghuang and left the Yin Mansion.

As Shuangshuang and Huanghuang were leaving, they adorably bid farewell to their grandparents, "Bye-bye!"

Their cute voices made their grandparents laugh so hard that they couldn’t close their mouths.

Back home, the two kids, who had slept all the way in the car, got lively again.

Shuangshuang dragged her toy storage bag to the center of the living room and poured everything out with a clatter.

Then she started playing around.

Prince Huang found a comfortable spot, sat down on the floor, and slumped down.

Thinking she had figured out the cause of her eyelid twitching, Su Xiaomeng completely forgot she was waiting for Yin Shixiu to call back.

By the time she remembered, she had already washed the clothes, cleaned the house, and cooked dinner.

Seeing no missed calls on her phone, she didn’t think much of it and texted Yin Shixiu while lying on the sofa.

Before long, she received a reply from Yin Shixiu.

— Had a meeting, was a bit busy, couldn’t call you back.

Su Xiaomeng chuckled and sent a voice message, "What about now? Are you done?"

— Yes, having a lunch break, there are two more meetings this afternoon.

"Hmm... Hubby, you’re working so hard, so pitiful,"

Xiao Meng teasingly mocked.

— It’s necessary to support the family.

Su Xiaomeng looked at Yin Shixiu’s text, smiled gently, then brought her phone to Shuangshuang and Huanghuang, "Say something to Dad, Dad is busy all day today, it’s tough."

It’s unclear how much Shuangshuang and Huanghuang understood.

Anyway, across who knows how much distance, lying in a hospital bed unable to see anything, Yin Shixiu could hear only his daughter’s inexplicable excitement, as if she was on steroids, wildly acting up.

And his son’s timid voice, almost drowned out by Shuangshuang’s screams, said —

Miss Dad... Dad come home...

Yin Shixiu slightly curled his lips, opened his mouth faintly, and in a voice so light it could hardly be heard, said to Chen Lan, "I miss you all too. But this project is more difficult than expected, so I might return later than planned."

Chen Lan quickly typed a message and sent it to Su Xiaomeng.

Su Xiaomeng looked at the long message and immediately her face fell.

If a mirror were to be held up now, it would indeed be the face of a resentful woman longing in her deep boudoir.

After a long while, she replied with just two simple words.

— Okay.

She understood that having a big-boss husband meant it was normal for him to be busy and unable to attend to her and the kids.

As a dutiful, gentle, and kind wife, she must understand her husband.

But Xiao Meng felt she might still lack self-discipline, as the thought of Yin Shixiu saying he’d return even later than planned surprisingly sparked a flicker of anger inside her.

"Madam replied with ’Okay’... seems like she might be a bit upset,"

Chen Lan said, even he could feel the sense of grievance and dissatisfaction behind those two words.

Not to mention, Yin Shixiu, who already knew Su Xiaomeng’s temper very well.

He pressed his lips together, spoke calmly, "Just let it be."

Chen Lan set the phone aside and sighed, "Boss, honestly, you could completely tell Madam, your injuries are ones that will heal."

Yin Shixiu pointed to his own throat.

Chen Lan had no choice but to shut his mouth, asking no further.

The injury on Yin Shixiu’s neck, although it didn’t reach an artery, speaking would still affect the wound, and if not careful, it could cause secondary harm, affecting his vocal cords.

So, keeping silent was best.

Telling Su Xiaomeng was naturally not a problem, but considering how she was already anxious day and night due to the upcoming University of Bath exams...

If he told her about the car accident now...

Who wouldn’t know how distracted she would become?

The eyes would heal, and so would the body; whether Xiao Meng knew or not wouldn’t actually affect the healing speed of his body.

Rather than that, it’s better to keep it a secret and tell her after the exams are over.

By the time she finishes her exams next month, his injuries should be almost healed.
