Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 520 - 395: The Jiang Family Memorial Sealed in Memory
"I know what I’m doing, don’t worry, I have a sense of proportion..."
"Sense of proportion? Ha, you never had any."
"..."
——————
They remained silent through the journey, Su Xiaomeng knew he cared about her, which is why he was so angry.
But she had said all the nice and not-so-nice things, yet he didn’t waver at all, Xiao Meng felt a bit disheartened.
Due to dealing with Shen Dawei’s matter, by the time they left the school, it was already half dark.
Returning to London at this hour, with the evening rush hour traffic, the already long drive felt even longer. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Being stuck in traffic in the city, sitting in the car was actually quite uncomfortable, the honking noises outside the car window were incessant.
Which made an already stifled person even more irritated.
Yin Shixiu came to Bath today to visit an old business veteran, surnamed Zeng, a Chinese old businessman without much fame, people of the next generation after Yin Shixiu might not have heard of this person at all.
But under the slogan "Saving the country through industry," he brought up a slew of business talents.
If Yin Shixiu is a legendary figure in the minds of young people,
then Elder Zeng is the senior of legendary figures, merely using the term myth might underplay this old gentleman’s stature.
Elder Zeng and Yin Shaohui are of the same age.
After the founding of the Republic, when the national political situation was still turbulent, Yin Shaohui, as an officer, had once helped this Elder Zeng in difficult times.
Yin Shixiu didn’t hold out much hope while visiting this elder businessman, who had long retreated from the public view.
After all, his visit was actually a kind of interference, and his plea was quite demanding for this old man who no longer cared about worldly affairs.
However, contrary to Yin Shixiu’s expectations, Elder Zeng had never forgotten the kindness shown to him by Yin Shaohui.
Yin Shixiu didn’t take the initiative to mention Yin Shaohui’s previous kindness to him, he just thought he might subtly hint at it when nothing else worked.
But Elder Zeng, upon hearing Yin Shixiu’s introduction, treated him with courtesy and proactively brought up the kindness shown by the Yin Family.
Faced with such a venerable elder, Yin Shixiu didn’t play any tricks, he candidly expressed his intentions.
This is a sensitive time with Yin Shiqing’s new appointment, which is an opportunity for Yin Shixiu.
If he wants to secure the position he just climbed up to, he would need at least three months to consolidate it.
Some rather rash newcomers might take some losses while adapting to their new role and may need more time.
Yin Shixiu knew haste makes waste, but he also wanted to cut through the tangles as quickly as possible.
The Yin Group’s position in the Chinese business world is unmatched, but to make the Yin Group impregnable, something is still missing.
This is what Yin Shixiu had been busy with for the past six months — government support.
Compared to business project collaborations, Yin Shixiu now focused more on government collaboration projects.
"This is the situation... speaking of it, it’s a family matter of this junior. It’s an inconvenience to you, this junior is eager, if Uncle Zeng is willing to lend a hand, this junior would be endlessly grateful, if Elder Zeng is unwilling, this junior wouldn’t force it, I only hope that what’s said today between me and Elder Zeng wouldn’t be mentioned to others."
Yin Shixiu was very polite and humble.
Mr. Zeng sighed lightly,
"That child from the Jiang Family... sigh..."
To Yin Shixiu’s surprise, things that had been puzzling him for so long and that he couldn’t understand suddenly had some traces from Elder Zeng’s words...
Yin Shiqing originally didn’t bear the surname Yin, but Jiang.
Jiang...
The old ancestral home of the Yin Family is in a place called Shuiling Village, deeply laden with history.
Yin Shixiu had only been there once, around the age of ten, he remembered beside all those ancestral plaques of the Yin family, there was a plaque bearing the Jiang surname.
He had been curious and asked his father about it.
Yin Shaohui said, it was a comrade of his.
After that, no one mentioned the matter again, many years passed, and if it were not for Elder Zeng’s reminder, he might never remember it.
Mr. Zeng didn’t say much more.
Knowing now that his parents valued Yin Shiqing so much and wholeheartedly treated him as a child of the Yin Family, it was because he was the son of his father’s comrade.
Comrade... How close a comrade must he be, to have his father take such responsibility?
With a hint about Yin Shiqing’s background, Yin Shixiu got some clues, and before leaving, Elder Zeng also agreed to Yin Shixiu’s request.
So, Yin Shixiu was actually in a good mood today, he let the driver go back on his own and he drove to pick up Xiao Meng.
Who knew... something so mood-ruining would happen at Xiao Meng’s school.
Especially since this woman who didn’t know better refused to listen to him and acted stubbornly, almost leading to an irreparable outcome!
Yin Shixiu felt extremely frustrated inside.
He kept a cold face throughout the journey.
He wasn’t immune to Su Xiaomeng’s attempts to appease him, just that Yin Shixiu was not as easy-hearted as Su Xiaomeng.
Even when standing on the edge of the rooftop, she dared to take risks!
The moment Xiao Meng tried to grab the knife from Shen Dawei, that moment she almost fell, that suffocating feeling, he probably could never forget it in this life.
On the way down the stairs, his whole person was trembling.
Yet Su Xiaomeng seemed not to mind, happily talking to Shen Dawei about "going home together for spring break"...
The funniest thing was, she actually thought she knew her limits.
Yin Shixiu was angry but more consumed by the after-fear.
The two were silent all the way until they got home.
Xiao Meng felt like she was about to suffocate, and as soon as she entered the house, Shuangshuang and Huang Huang rushed over,
"Mom, where did you go to play?"
Shuangshuang looked up and asked her.
Xiao Meng blinked, "Why would you think that, mom didn’t go anywhere to play."
Shuangshuang hurriedly pointed to the large floor-to-ceiling window in the main hall, saying,
"The sky is already dark!"
Xiao Meng understood the little girl’s meaning, she meant they came back too late today.
She squatted down, picked up the little girl, and kissed her,
"Mom and dad came back late today, made you wait long, sorry about that, have you had dinner?"
Before, while on the road, Xiao Meng had already called Claire, asked Claire and Lily to have dinner with the kids first.
But it was still necessary to ask, children of this age, all they wanted was attention.
Shuangshuang nodded, then nudged the nearby Prince Huang with a smile,
"I had one more big bowl than brother!"
"Haha! Is that so?"
"Sister is lying again..."
Prince Huang said weakly, looking at the full-of-lies Shuangshuang, who was still gloating, helplessly shook his head, and sighed like a little old man.
Xiao Meng was amused!
"Shuangshuang, your brother says you’re lying, are you lying?"
Shuangshuang’s face turned red, she lowered her head, scratched her little hand, her voice lowered, muttered, "No..."
Saying that, she quickly ran away, climbed up on the sofa, then grabbed a blanket and covered her head.
Seeing her daughter’s antics, Xiao Meng couldn’t stop laughing.
Prince Huang was much more sensitive than Shuangshuang, at this moment his big eyes looked towards the dad who silently changed shoes and took off his coat, he couldn’t help but quietly ask Su Xiaomeng,
"Mom... dad’s not happy?"
"..."
Su Xiaomeng, who was laughing heartlessly a moment ago, immediately had her smile freeze at the reminder by her son.
Then she felt a wave of low pressure waft past her, making the whole room feel two degrees colder.
She had forgotten, her husband was still angry...
"Ma’am, sir, do you want dinner now?"
Claire asked.
Xiao Meng nodded, "Please prepare it for us."
"Alright, ma’am, sir... is in a bad mood?"
Claire only casually asked.
Xiao Meng laughed, "He’ll be fine."
Claire nodded, then went into the kitchen, Su Xiaomeng and Yin Shixiu had a very good relationship, which the two maids could see.
Little arguments occasionally happened, but they never lasted overnight.
Their loving relationship made others envious, so Claire wasn’t worried either.
In front of Claire, Xiao Meng said this quite confidently, turning around, entering the bedroom, and seeing Yin Shixiu still with a cold face...
She felt at a loss.
"Hey... still mad?" Su Xiaomeng moved towards Yin Shixiu with a cheeky smile, still trying to please him.
Yin Shixiu took clothes from the wardrobe, ready to shower.
"Don’t be mad anymore..."
"Move aside."
