Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 347 - 313: His Wife Is Angry
"Who’s taking care of him there?"
Su Xiaomeng asked, her voice already hoarse.
Chen Lan quickly said, "Don’t worry, Madam, there’s a caregiver."
Tears streamed down Su Xiaomeng’s face uncontrollably as she remembered the times when she was sick. He stayed by her side day and night, terrified that a cold might be too much for her...
But now look at him...
A caregiver...
"Madam, please don’t cry, you still have me, haven’t I been taking care of him?"
"You rough old man, what use are you! If you hurt him, you wouldn’t even know it!"
Chen Lan was rendered speechless by her scolding.
"Later, send me the hospital’s address..."
"Madam, you wouldn’t... you wouldn’t be coming, would you..."
"Tell Yin Shixiu, I want to divorce him!!"
After saying this, Su Xiaomeng hung up the phone, took a deep breath, flipped through the contacts, and finally called her grandfather.
"Grandpa, can you do me a favor..."
"Girl, what’s going on, are you crying?"
"Grandpa, don’t worry about the rest for now; I need to go to the United Kingdom. Do you have a way to quickly get me a UK visa? The sooner, the better..."
"Go to the UK? Did... something happen to Shixiu?"
Su Xiaomeng sniffed, "He got into a car accident, and no one’s taking care of him, just a rough old man and a bunch of white nurses, all tall and skinny and pale... sob..."
Bai Fengmao didn’t even know where to start questioning her after hearing this.
After thinking it over, he decided not to tease his granddaughter.
"Okay, okay, Grandpa will take care of it. I’ll get it done for you in a couple of days, alright? As for the Yin family—"
"I-I’ll tell them later when I’m calmer. I’m afraid if I speak now, I’ll scare them..."
"Wow, Xiao Meng, you’re so filial, aren’t you afraid of scaring your grandpa? Or is it that Grandpa is sturdier?"
Bai Fengmao was a bit jealous.
Su Xiaomeng quickly wiped her tears, "Grandpa, stop pretending; aren’t you sturdy... sob..."
Bai Fengmao was both crying and laughing, but seeing Su Xiaomeng could still joke around, at least he knew Yin Shixiu was not in life-threatening danger.
The little girl was just... heartbroken, at most?
"Alright, alright, girl, stop crying. Listening to you cry like this, Grandpa really feels less sturdy now."
"Ugh, Grandpa, be quick, if you need any documents, let me know..."
"Alright, alright, tell Grandpa, how did it happen? When?"
"A-A week ago, that bastard hid it from me... sob, sob, sob... I’m so angry! Grandpa, if he were to die abroad, I wouldn’t even know... sob, sob, sob..."
Bai Fengmao hadn’t expected Yin Shixiu to hide it from Su Xiaomeng for a week.
"Why did he hide it from you?"
"Sob... this just makes it worse... his assistant said he was worried about affecting my exam..."
"It’s that University of Bath entrance exam, that bastard... sob... Grandpa, once he’s better, I want a divorce! I definitely want a divorce!"
Bai Fengmao suddenly laughed.
Su Xiaomeng wiped her tears and snot, fuming, "What’s so funny! I’m serious! Seriously!!"
"Alright, alright, get a divorce. If you want a divorce, Grandpa will stand by your side, okay?"
"Ugh! Okay!"
Su Xiaomeng pouted and agreed emphatically.
After hanging up her grandfather’s call, Su Xiaomeng sat there, getting angrier and angrier, her nose flaring with each breath. Yet as angry as she was, her heart was more filled with worry.
"Mom..."
Shuangshuang murmured softly.
Su Xiaomeng looked at Shuangshuang and Huanghuang beside her, sighed, "Did Mommy scare you, my darlings? Alright, let’s eat, okay?"
"Eat..."
Su Xiaomeng washed her face, brought out the dishes, and fed Shuangshuang and Huanghuang. She couldn’t swallow a single grain of rice.
All she thought of was her husband.
When Chen Lan relayed Madam’s words to Yin Shixiu, he remained relatively calm.
"I told you, you should have told her the truth; see, now she knows anyway?"
"But Madam is impressive; how she sensed something was wrong when you refused to video call. She actually went online to check on you, wow... looks like you’re living cautiously too."
"You can leave now."
"Boss, you shouldn’t take it out on the innocent."
"Can’t even keep a secret, Chen Lan, you’re becoming more useless."
Chen Lan didn’t dare to continue joking. He couldn’t tell whether Yin Shixiu’s words were more of a joke or if there was hidden anger...
Silently, he walked out of the hospital room.
Yin Shixiu fumbled with his phone to call Su Xiaomeng, but...
Afterwards, he couldn’t reach her at all.
His wife was genuinely angry.
Over the following days, Yin Shixiu tried various ways to contact Su Xiaomeng—calls, texts, WeChat—all to no avail.
It seemed Su Xiaomeng was determined to ignore him.
Unfortunately, now he couldn’t see anything, and he really had too much heart but not enough strength.
The next day, Yin Shaohui and Zhou Mengqin called, also giving Yin Shixiu a good scolding.
A car accident is such a big matter; no matter what, he should have informed the family.
To be silent like this, all alone in the UK...
"At over thirty years old, with the elderly above and children below, what were you thinking?!"
What could Yin Shixiu do?
All he could do was obediently listen to his parents’ reproach.
To be honest, he doesn’t really think of himself as that pitiful.
The hospital here has the best medical equipment and caregivers, and he has an assistant like Chen Lan who’s extremely competent.
Plus, his injuries aren’t fatal, nor are they disabling.
Although his eyes are inconvenient now, according to the doctor, his vision will gradually recover over time.
But whenever Su Xiaomeng cries, his parents call, making it seem like he’s so pitiful...
"I know, this time I was inconsiderate, there won’t be a next time."
Yin Shixiu could only promise his parents like this.
"So... how has Xiaomeng been these past two days? She—"
"Ask her yourself, she doesn’t live with us. How would we know?"
Yin Shaohui said impatiently.
Yin Shixiu rubbed his head, realizing for the first time how terrible it feels to be unwelcome by your own parents.
After finishing the call with his parents, Yin Shixiu placed the phone on the bedside table.
In front of him was darkness, even he couldn’t adapt in a short time...
If, if the glass shards were sharper, would he have... lost his eyes forever?
If he really lost his eyes...
He thought the scariest thing would be not being able to look at Su Xiaomeng closely again.
The third day...
Yin Shixiu still hadn’t been able to reach Su Xiaomeng.
Fortunately, his phone had a voice command feature, even with Chen Lan absent, he could perform simple tasks.
It seemed to be noon, as the sunlight felt warmer.
The door to the hospital room was pushed open.
Yin Shixiu turned his head at the sound and said, "Pour me some water, I’m a bit thirsty."
Su Xiaomeng stood at the door, looking at the man with bandaged eyes and neck, feeling a surge of annoyance in her heart.
She took a deep breath, walked to the bedside, poured a cup of warm water from the cup on the bedside table, and handed it to him.
Yin Shixiu took it, drank two sips, and groped to place it back on the bedside table.
"Chen Lan, later you should send Madam an apology message, that girl is really mad this time."
Su Xiaomeng felt a sting in her nose, turned her head away, kept silent, and continued to pack her luggage.
Yin Shixiu heard the noise and sensed something was wrong, asking, "Chen Lan, what are you doing?"
Su Xiaomeng remained silent.
Yin Shixiu turned his head, furrowing his brow slightly, a slightly surprised thought appearing in his mind, after a while...
Almost certain, but with a bit of hesitation, he softly called, "Xiaomeng..."
Su Xiaomeng, who was packing her luggage, stiffened slightly, feeling an unexplainable heartache.
"Su Xiaomeng, are you... here?"
Su Xiaomeng had no intention of responding.
In front of Yin Shixiu, Su Xiaomeng usually had little resolve, but...
This time, she was surprisingly determined.
Just because of what Yin Shixiu did, Su Xiaomeng couldn’t calm down anytime soon, she couldn’t find an excuse to forgive him!
So, she wouldn’t respond!
Until her anger subsided, she wouldn’t say a word to him.
Su Xiaomeng hung her change of clothes in the closet next to her and put her toiletries in the bathroom.
"Meng Meng, I know it’s you, don’t stay silent..."
Su Xiaomeng roughly packed her things, again closed her suitcase, and put it aside.
"Girl, I didn’t mean to hide it from you, I just feared... feared scaring you."
Su Xiaomeng kept a stern face, regardless of whether Yin Shixiu could see it or not, with a very serious and stiff expression.
"Coming here is useless, isn’t it? It only delays the exams."
With a loud bang, the door to the hospital room was slammed shut, and Su Xiaomeng left the room.
Yin Shixiu was stunned for a moment, realizing Su Xiaomeng was no longer in the room.
After slamming the door, Xiaomeng sat down on a chair in the corridor...
He had his reasons, he always had his reasons.
He measures everything he does, making the most suitable choices between pros and cons.
This is Yin Shixiu, rational to the point of making someone grind their teeth in anger.
For her own good...
Yes, he did it for her, fearing she’d worry, fearing she’d fall behind in her studies, fearing she’d not focus on her exams.
Her coming here was useless...
Yes, what help could she offer?
She’s not a doctor, can’t take a scalpel to save his life.
So Su Xiaomeng wanted to ask Yin Shixiu one question...
To him, is Su Xiaomeng just an insignificant presence?
Because she couldn’t help, there’s no need for her to know...
Because it was done for her good, she should feel grateful or even touched by his thoughtfulness...
Yin Shixiu, just go to hell!!
When Chen Lan went to the airport to pick up Su Xiaomeng, he took her to the hospital, then went to buy food.
When he came up carrying the takeaway meals, he saw Su Xiaomeng sitting on the chair, lost in thought.
"Madam, since you just got off the plane, do you want to rest first?"
Su Xiaomeng didn’t lift her head, just said, "I’m not tired."
"Then come in and eat, I bought some dishes at the restaurant, not sure if they’ll suit Madam’s taste."
