Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 394 - 356: One Day, She Will Be the One on Top (Part 1)
Yin Bowen glared at Yin Shixiu angrily. The two were of similar age, yet there was a whole generation gap between them.
It was this generational gap that made Yin Bowen harbor so much discontent in his heart.
At this moment, when Yin Shixiu asked, Yin Bowen dared not respond...
The fourth of the Yin Family, with malice in his bones, was what his father had always mumbled in his ear.
But just because he didn’t respond, didn’t mean Yin Shixiu wouldn’t continue to speak...
"Nephew Bowen loves Miss Guo so much, will do anything for her as long as it’s together, right?"
Guo Tong pressed her lips tightly and looked towards Yin Bowen following Yin Shixiu’s question.
As for Yin Bowen... for a moment, his throat felt as though a stone was stuck.
He did love Guo Tong very much, liked her pretty face, devilish figure, mischievous smiles, and even liked those bits of cunning thoughts she occasionally revealed.
He was no longer interested in people like Zhu Lan, who were like embroidered pillows.
He knew Guo Tong sometimes had small schemes, but most of the time, she was just straightforward.
Although her words were unpleasant, they weren’t fake. She was strong-willed, had her own ideas, and wanted to join the upper class.
He was aware of all this; it was what she personally told him.
He felt there was nothing wrong with this; she also worked her way up step by step.
Water flows to lower streams, people strive to higher places.
She said at the beginning she’d date him was just because she wanted to develop in Beijing; she saw him as a stepping stone.
But later... she truly liked him.
He believed everything she said, found no reason to disbelieve.
Guo Tong was not a simple woman; to him, she was like a black hole...
Every side she revealed made him feel fresh.
This was good. If she was a bad woman, then he liked such bad women.
However...
But if truly anything could be done for her...
"Nephew Bowen, just make up your mind and leave the Yin Family. After leaving, you can marry anyone at any time without anyone saying a word."
Yin Bowen’s eyes widened.
Yin Shixiu’s words were a huge rock thrown into the calm lake, stirring a thousand waves.
Yin Shiqing and Shi Haiyan instantly became alert.
They nearly immediately thought that Yin Shixiu was preparing to expel Yin Bowen from the house!
"Fourth, that’s enough."
Yin Shaohui squinted his eyes and glared at Yin Shixiu.
As a result, the old man wasn’t even able to act as peacemaker when another silent party suddenly spoke—
"I won’t let him do this for me."
Guo Tong took a deep breath, looking straight at Yin Shixiu, "Mr. Yin is right, Bowen and I are not a match in social status. He comes from a century-old family, while mine is just a working class family. I have no qualification to climb up. Similarly, I won’t let Bowen stoop to this level for me; I’m not worth it."
"Miss Guo is indeed sensible."
"Xiao Tong..."
Yin Bowen didn’t expect Guo Tong would say such words, looked at her in astonishment...
Her eyes were a little red-rimmed.
He knew she felt wronged.
People with inherently strong characters get repeatedly humiliated by others; how could they not feel aggrieved?
"Since Mr. Yin and Xiao Meng are so unwilling for me to marry into the Yin Family, I just won’t marry. I’ll agree to keep the child but leave the mother."
"Wouldn’t that make everyone happy?"
Yin Shixiu lightly raised the corner of his mouth, clapped his hands, and left his seat calmly, as if nothing had happened.
As if the matter had already been decided.
Ending abruptly, leaving people at a loss.
Guo Tong was sure to have her own play in mind to speak up, but before she could finish, the play was forcibly concluded.
When Yin Shixiu walked past the shelf, he saw Su Xiaomeng leaning there...
Seeing her eyes watery, he couldn’t help but feel strange...
"What’s wrong?"
Su Xiaomeng shook her head, stepped forward to hold his hand, and followed him to the yard.
In the yard, there were workers trimming the grass. Seeing Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng coming, they respectfully called out, "Fourth Young Master, Fourth Young Madam."
Yin Shixiu nodded, then led Su Xiaomeng to sit on a wooden swinging chair in the yard.
"Did you think of something sad? Your eyes are all wet?"
Yin Shixiu whispered.
Su Xiaomeng felt that if she told the reason, Yin Shixiu would laugh at her, so she felt a bit awkward, sat cross-legged on the swing, playing with her ankle...
"Why aren’t you saying anything?"
"I’m not sad, stop guessing."
"If not sad, then... touched?"
"... What is there to be touched about?"
Su Xiaomeng turned her eyes away.
Yin Shixiu was also puzzled, "Yeah, there’s really nothing to be touched by, so why did you..."
"Stop it, stop it, keep questioning; you’re so annoying."
Yin Shixiu gently sighed; indeed women’s feelings were a bit hard to grasp.
"By the way, I just realized that you’re really good at arguing."
Usually, nestled in their own little home, even if there were disputes between them, she mostly emerged victorious.
Now that I think about it, he was the one accommodating me all along.
"If a businessman can’t even argue, can he still be called a businessman?"
"The negotiation table is much more exciting than this dining table, I’ll let you experience it sometime."
Yin Shixiu joked.
Su Xiaomeng glanced at him; he seemed quite proud of himself...
"Didn’t you say you wanted them to trap themselves? Why are you still—"
Yin Shixiu pulled her hand over to his leg and whispered, "I want Yin Shiqing’s family to trap themselves, not for Guo Tong to marry into the Yin Family and cause trouble for us."
"If we don’t show her a bit of strength now, I’m afraid she’ll deliberately bully you when she gets in."
Su Xiaomeng shot him a look, "Don’t make me sound so easy to bully, okay?"
Yin Shixiu looked at her; she had become more beautiful and charming, her face not as round as before, making her chin appear more pointed after slimming down.
But her big almond eyes, still watery, made her face look more adorable and younger.
No matter how you see it... she seems easy to bully.
"What are you looking at?"
"Hmm, looking like a fierce mother tiger, really not easy to bully."
"It’s good you know that."
"Then I’ll say it differently; giving her a taste of our power will make it easier for you to bully her later."
Xiao Meng was amused by him and leaned on his shoulder.
Holding his big hand, "I know, whether Guo Tong comes in or not has little to do with us. Ultimately, it’s all Yin Shiqing’s family’s issue. Good is theirs, bad is theirs too..."
"Yeah."
"You’re right; we need to establish authority, so if she does anything outrageous in the future, it won’t bring shame to the family matriarch."
Yin Shixiu kissed Su Xiaomeng and whispered, "Madam is indeed wise and knows her limits."
Su Xiaomeng suddenly thought of earlier at the dining table, when Yin Shixiu compared her to Guo Tong and praised her, she felt proud...
"Say it again."
"What?"
"...Xiao Meng is a top student from A University, beautiful, talented, charming, and doesn’t like to contend with others..."
"Say it."
Yin Shixiu pretended to yawn, "Why do I feel a bit sleepy?"
Su Xiaomeng elbowed his stomach and then closed her eyes; the nine o’clock sun was just perfect.
Yin Shixiu patted her round belly.
The people inside were somewhat panicked and torn; it no longer concerned them.
"Mom and Dad, I absolutely disagree; I’m taking Guo Tong to get our marriage license right now!"
Yin Bowen initially had doubts about whether he should do anything for Guo Tong.
When Guo Tong herself suggested "agreeing to keep the child without the mother"...
At that moment, Yin Bowen felt like a coward, a good-for-nothing!
A Beijing native can’t even bring the woman he loves into his house!
Truly pathetic!
The man’s pride stood in the way; Yin Bowen even despised himself.
After speaking, he made to leave!
"Sit down, all of you are rebelling!"
Yin Shaohui’s voice became stern!
But Yin Bowen stood there, unwilling to sit, and Guo Tong tugged his sleeve...
"Don’t pull me."
"Bowen, what’s going on? Aren’t you listening to your grandfather anymore?"
"Grandfather, but little uncle just now..."
"Sit down first!"
Yin Bowen took a deep breath, knowing he couldn’t talk back to his grandfather, reluctantly sat back down.
Face stern.
"Shiqing, this is actually a small matter, isn’t it?"
"Isn’t it? But the Fourth was being so aggressive..."
"Guo Tong is pregnant, and Xiao Tong is also pregnant, both are important. I won’t favor anyone. Let me just ask the eldest one question: if both sides are wrong, fine, both are wrong, who do you think should be the first to make peace?"
This made Yin Shiqing momentarily speechless.
Who should make peace first...
"Based on seniority, you and Shixiu are the same generation, but Bowen is the younger one. Just focusing on the matter, Jun Garden belongs to the Fourth, the Fourth is the host, and the people are guests..."
Zhou Mengqin didn’t give a conclusion, just presented the facts, letting Yin Shiqing and Yin Bowen figure it out themselves.
"The words the Fourth said just now were harsh, even somewhat overstepping, blunt, but does he have a point?"
"Bowen, and Guo Tong, what your uncle said isn’t wrong. When Xiao Meng married in, your grandfather and I were a thousand times unwilling, and didn’t treat her kindly."
"In the Yin Family, marriage isn’t just about who wants to marry whom. The family’s opinion is very important."
"You can disregard your uncle’s thoughts and insist on marrying, but in the future when you meet often, Bowen, do you think it’s wise to make a big fuss with your uncle over something so trivial?"
"But uncle said too much..."
"If your little aunt hadn’t been woken up by you all in the early morning wearing single clothes, standing outside for half an hour, he wouldn’t have lost his temper like this."
"In the end, Grandma, you’re still siding with uncle..."
Yin Bowen muttered, his heart filled with discontent.
Zhou Mengqin could only sigh, this child is unteachable...
"Eldest, if Bowen doesn’t understand my point, you should be able to comprehend it; besides right and wrong, you should also ask whether it’s worth it."
