Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 358 - 325: I Only Value the Name "Yin"! (Part 2)
The group led by Mr. Yin returned to the Yin Mansion.
Considering his age, getting so angry like this is hard on his health, so after arriving home, he went to his room to rest.
Zhou Mengqin inquired, and Shixiu told her the truth.
"It seems the Yu family was momentarily confused as well. Mr. Yu, like your father, is a man with pride, but wanting both pride and gain is overly greedy, which is why things have come to this point."
After Zhou Mengqin finished speaking, her gaze fell on Yin Hongyi, who had come over with his wife and son earlier, "Hongyi, you should take your father as a warning and never harbor ill thoughts."
"Grandmother, I understand."
"It’s good that you understand."
Then Zhou Mengqin turned to Yin Shilan, "I had someone clean up the Lan Garden a bit. This marriage, if it’s over, then it’s over. No one blames you, okay?"
Yin Shilan took a deep breath, "Mom... My hair is turning gray, and still, I make you and Dad worry, I..."
"Even if your hair turned completely gray, aren’t you still my daughter, Zhou Mengqin?"
"Alright, Hongyi and Jingshuang, accompany your mother to the Lan Garden. Come to the main hall for dinner tonight."
"Yes, Grandma."
Lu Jingshuang hooked her arm through Yin Shilan’s, "Mom, let’s go."
Yin Hongyi picked up Yin Qiyang and followed behind.
"Xinhong, stay for dinner tonight; we owe you a lot today."
Zhou Mengqin took the young major general’s hand, led him to the sofa, and let him sit down.
Lin Xinhong is twenty-five this year, turning twenty-six after the Lunar New Year.
His well-fitting green military officer uniform was immaculate without a single crease.
Lin Xinhong’s father was once Mr. Yin’s subordinate. The Lin family has been attentive; after Mr. Yin retired, they have sent someone to visit him every year during the festival season.
It just so happened that Lin Xinhong’s New Year’s leave was just approved, followed by a transfer order for after the festival.
He was transferred with an advance team from the Nanjing Military Region to the Beijing Military Region.
When the military vehicle reached near Mr. Yin’s house, Lin Xinhong had it driven in to visit Mr. Yin first.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the car stopped, he saw Mr. Yin sitting in a car, driving off.
Fortunately, military vehicles are quite noticeable, and Mr. Yin’s car stopped in front of Lin Xinhong.
Seeing Mr. Yin looking so imposing, Lin Xinhong asked a few more questions.
Mr. Yin narrowed his old eyes and focused on the soldiers sitting in Lin Xinhong’s military vehicle.
And so...
Lin Xinhong did a good turn, taking his subordinates and accompanying Mr. Yin on this trip.
Su Xiaomeng went to the kitchen to brew a pot of tea and brought it over.
She and Yin Shixiu hadn’t even warmed their seats at home before following Mr. Yin out the door.
They hadn’t yet seen their daughter and son.
Zhou Mengqin didn’t need her and Yin Shixiu’s assistance here, so she let them go rest first.
Shuangshuang and Huanghuang were napping at Jun Garden, with Ah Su taking care of them.
Not having seen the children for too long, Xiao Meng missed them intensely. She initially thought Shuangshuang and Huanghuang would be delighted to see their parents, but who knew...
Yin Shixiu just went over to pick up the waking Shuangshuang and was immediately pummeled by the little girl.
The small fists pounded on Yin Shixiu’s chest, and who knows who taught her; the little girl was murmuring, "Late! Late! Late!"
Su Xiaomeng listened for a while before barely guessing the meaning...
"Is she saying we came back too late?"
Even with her fists hitting hard, the little girl couldn’t hurt Yin Shixiu much; it just felt a bit heartbreaking to hear her complaints.
"Daddy is bad, daddy is bad!"
Yin Shixiu lowered his head and kissed the little girl’s cheek, then her nose.
With her chubby cheeks puffed up and lips pouting, the little girl looked like she was angry.
The funniest thing was her chubby arms crossing in front of her chest...
Su Xiaomeng suddenly felt no more guilt, only amusement.
Little Shuangshuang was coaxed into happiness by Yin Shixiu, and soon her anger dissipated as she clung tightly to his neck, kissing and licking.
But Prince Huang was not so easily won over.
The little guy sat there sulking on his own, ignoring Yin Shixiu’s words and refusing to respond to Xiao Meng when she tried to hold him.
This worried the couple to no end.
Finally, Ah Su came over and muttered a few words to Prince Huang, who then reluctantly gave them a small glance.
Su Xiaomeng missed her son terribly, so even though he intentionally ignored her, she persistently tried to warm his figurative cold shoulder with her affection.
After a long while, Prince Huang finally murmured a sound, "Food..."
He was hungry.
Xiao Meng gave him a big kiss, and the little guy’s face wasn’t as frosty anymore.
After feeding Shuangshuang and Huanghuang and cleaning them up, the couple finally had the chance to change clothes and lay on the bed.
Shuangshuang spread her limbs and snuggled against Yin Shixiu, clearly missing him a lot.
Prince Huang kept presenting a toy airplane to Yin Shixiu, but what he was trying to convey was unknown.
At dinner time, while discussing this matter, the old lady told them that the airplane had been broken, with a part that had fallen off. Prince Huang had spent the entire afternoon in the living room reassembling it, fixing it in the process.
He was probably looking for some praise.
Talking about Huanghuang, the old man and lady were still very proud. The child, at only a year and a half, already showed inherited intelligence and wit from their youngest son in the subtle ways.
As for Shuangshuang, she was naturally a happy little one, her playful personality always making the two elders laugh so hard that they were left breathless.
How could the two elders not dote on this grandson and granddaughter?
Lin Xinhong’s subordinates were still waiting outside the courtyard, so Lin Xinhong and Zhou Mengqin stood up to leave after chatting briefly.
"Madam, after the New Year, I’ll come again. I’ll definitely stay for dinner then."
"You can let those subordinates of yours go back first. You rarely come by, and it’s already a bother having you help with family matters. Now you’re leaving in such a hurry, it makes me feel uneasy!"
"Madam, you’re being too kind. Next time, I’ll definitely stay for dinner. Even if you try to chase me away, I won’t leave."
Zhou Mengqin naturally understood that young officers have their difficulties, so she didn’t insist he stay longer.
She had the housekeeper escort Lin Xinhong out.
Lin Xinhong walked out the main gate, glancing around instinctively, not sure what he was looking for.
This Old Lin Housekeeper was quite the sharp one, "Major General, are you looking for Miss Yin Meng?"
"Ah? No, no."
Lin Xinhong hurriedly waved his hand and then said to Old Lin Housekeeper, "You should go back inside, it’s very cold out here. I know the way."
"Miss Meng Meng is back."
As soon as Old Lin Housekeeper finished speaking, Lin Xinhong quickly turned his head—
He saw Yin Meng riding a bicycle, wearing an oversized black ski jacket, with a bag on her back...
From afar, she saw this figure in military green. She stopped the bicycle with her feet and raised her hand towards Lin Xinhong, "Yo, Second Fatty Major General, back again?"
"Cough, cough..."
Lin Xinhong quickly cleared his throat and raised his eyebrows, "Yin Meng, you’ve grown up. Could you stop using my childhood nickname?"
Old Lin Housekeeper could clearly see that the Major General, who just moments ago had a hint of disappointment in his eyes, now looked completely revitalized.
His tall and proud figure walked over to Yin Meng and stopped, "Went skiing?"
"Yeah. When did you get here? Why didn’t you let me know beforehand?"
Yin Meng asked in a very familiar tone.
"If I had told you in advance, would the young Miss Yin not have gone skiing?"
"Hmm... Maybe I would have invited you to join."
Yin Meng smiled at him, and then seeing his stance, asked, "What’s up? Leaving already?"
"Yeah, my subordinates are all waiting in the car. I’ll come find you another day to hang out."
"Oh, okay."
Yin Meng responded.
Lin Xinhong at this moment seemed a bit hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but held back...
Yin Meng couldn’t stand men acting like this, so she said, "Why are you hesitating?"
"Meng Meng..."
"Mm-hmm?"
"I’ve been transferred to Beijing."
"Oh... So?"
"Remember to include me next time you go skiing or whatever."
Yin Meng laughed out loud, "Sure!"
Lin Xinhong went off in the distance, and Yin Meng parked her bicycle and went inside, "Is Uncle and Xiao Meng back?"
She asked the housekeeper.
"Yes, they’re both tired, so they’ve gone to Jun Garden to rest and will come over for dinner."
"Oh, is Uncle fully recovered from his injuries?"
"Fourth Young Master looks very well; you don’t have to worry."
"That’s good."
Yin Meng didn’t ask any more questions. Even if she did, the housekeeper might not be able to tell her everything.
As she was about to go inside, Old Lin Housekeeper called out to her again, "Miss Meng Meng..."
"Yes?"
"What do you think of this Major General Lin?"
Yin Meng saw Old Lin Housekeeper’s gossip-like expression, and her eyebrows involuntarily furrowed before she lightly chuckled, "No way, Housekeeper Grandpa, are you starting to gossip too?"
"Hehehehe, it’s human nature after all."
Yin Meng chuckled, "Please, don’t dwell on these trivial matters, Lin Family’s Second Fatty, I have no interest in him at all. We’ve been playing together since we were kids; the freshness is long gone."
"The freshness is long gone... does that mean... there was once freshness?"
Yin Meng’s expression stiffened, then she glanced at the housekeeper, "Housekeeper Grandpa, I’m begging you, spare the little one here, even rabbits don’t eat the grass around their nest!"
"You’re the rabbit?"
"I’m not a rabbit, I’m talking about that Lin Family’s Second Fatty!"
Old Lin Housekeeper shook his head, "I think Major General Lin isn’t a rabbit... he’s more like a python that has been lurking for a long time, already targeting its prey, just waiting..."
As he spoke, the housekeeper spread his hand and motioned towards Yin Meng, "to gobble it up in one bite!"
Yin Meng was startled by him, quickly waved her hand, "Not talking to you anymore, not interested!"
"Hehehehe!"
Old Lin Housekeeper laughed, and Yin Meng just felt a bit upset.
Housekeeper Grandpa is really something, messing up with matchmaking, that Lin’s Second Fatty...
But to be honest, before that fatty joined the army, at a height of 1.8 meters, he weighed over 190 pounds...
In just about a year, he slimmed down into a lean and fit young man.
Looking dignified and full of vigor, even after so many years, I still haven’t gotten used to it.
