Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 373 - 340: To Be Pampered, One Must Be Worthy
Yin Meng, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but glance at Guo Tong twice.
Apparently, she noticed that whenever Guo Tong opened her mouth, she was quite talkative.
"Yesterday, I’m not sure if you were there, but at that time, Su Xiaomeng made it very clear that she does not regard me as a cousin."
"Whether Xiaomeng regards you as a cousin actually depends on your own character, Miss Guo."
"Alright, you’re right. It seems whether Bo Wen and I can get married smoothly, I’ll have to put some effort into pleasing Xiaomeng."
Yin Meng looked at Guo Tong like this, inexplicably a little annoyed.
Was that what she meant? Is there a need to twist it like that?
They all come from the Su Family, how likable are Su Jin and Su Xiaomeng? The moment Guo Tong appeared, her impression of her was especially poor!
After lunch, Yin Shiqing and his wife first went down the mountain, as they had to visit Shi Haiyan’s parents’ home.
Bo Wen did not linger with Guo Tong, they greeted the elders and left the villa.
However, before leaving, Zhou Mengqin had a private word with Guo Tong.
"What did Grandma say to you?"
In the car, Yin Bowen immediately asked.
Guo Tong took a shallow breath and smiled, "Nothing much, just told me to take care of my health, especially during pregnancy."
Yin Bowen held her hand, "Grandma is old, she tends to be a bit naggy, just listen to her."
"Mm."
Guo Tong turned her head and leaned on his shoulder.
Zhou Mengqin’s words were like a thorn in her heart, "One must know their own weight. Always relying on a man for protection, I’m afraid it might end up being counterproductive in the end."
But after only three days of interacting with Yin Family, after mingling with the whole family of Yin Shaohui...
She was well aware in her heart, if Yin Shiqing loses power, she fears that no matter how tightly she controls Yin Bowen, it would be useless.
She fears that the two elders of the Yin Family could simply say a word, and she would be driven out.
Taking a deep breath...
This time, she really was a bit too aggressive.
Her reckless and undisciplined behavior, unwilling to restrain herself, was actually just a test, to probe the limits of the Yin Family, to understand the extent of their rules.
Obviously, she overestimated the position of Yin Bowen in the Yin Family, and underestimated Su Xiaomeng’s abilities.
She also overestimated the status of the Yin Shiqing family in the eyes of the Family Head of the Yin Family.
It was only today that she learned, the so-called eldest young master of the Yin Family was not actually the biological son of the two elders...
But looking at Yin Shiqing and Shi Haiyan, they didn’t seem like people who would so easily accept a subordinate position to Yin Shixiu... 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Guo Tong pressed her lips, gazing sternly out of the car window, she had staked her entire life on Yin Bowen, she could not regret it, nor could she turn back.
With both hands covering her lower abdomen, she could only hope that the child inside her would be a bit more promising.
After the eldest of the Yin Family left, the second, Yin Shilan, also went down the mountain with his son, daughter-in-law, and little grandson Qi Yang.
The two elders wanted to stay on the mountain for a few more days.
Yin Shihua and Shan Munan wanted to accompany the elders, but conventionally, during the New Year, Shi Hua should first go to Shan Family to pay respects with Shan Munan.
However, usually every year, it was Shan Munan and Shi Hua who celebrated the New Year at the Yin Family first, and then went to the Shan Family.
The Shan Family is a scholarly family, full of cultured people, Shan Munan’s father is a great literary master, with a standing in the literary world that is hard to shake.
Although Shan Munan is not yet on par with his father, he has already made some achievements of his own.
Scholars have less of a utilitarian mindset, and broader hearts, so naturally they wouldn’t be concerned with the order of paying respects, rather just do what’s convenient.
Shi Hua and Shan Munan were to go to the Shan Family, and so Shan Mingxu and Shan Minglang naturally wouldn’t stay behind either.
Minglang liked his grandpa too, but with his grandma having passed away early and only Shan Munan as the sole descendant, the house seemed rather empty.
And Minglang, being someone who likes lively atmospheres, always found it hard to muster enthusiasm.
But fortunately, Minglang knew the importance of filial piety.
After the third child went down the mountain, only the fourth was left up there.
Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng wouldn’t go down the mountain for now, as their grandfather and Su’s father and mother were there on Jiuling Mountain.
The house suddenly felt a lot emptier, significantly quieter with fewer people around.
Zhou Mengqin beckoned Su Xiaomeng over to sit next to her, and only then did she inquire about Guo Tong’s situation in detail.
Xiao Meng didn’t know much about Guo Tong, she only said, "I haven’t met Aunt Guo many times, but she is simple and kind-hearted, always at peace with others. Anyway, my grandfather often praised her."
"What about Guo Tong’s father? Have you met him?"
"Uh... I haven’t really interacted with him."
With that, Su Xiaomeng’s words drew a sigh from Zhou Mengqin.
