Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 545 - 420: Her Heart Bleeds

How shrewd Chen Lan was; Yin Shixiu only uttered a single sentence, and Chen Lan already sensed the deeper implication underneath.

"Indeed, the death of a Mrs. Huang is hardly enough to eliminate his worries. Cui Qiurong is her daughter, and she should have some understanding of this situation. Only by eradicating the root can we completely prevent future troubles. It’s truly ruthless."

Yin Shixiu placed his hand on the doorknob,

"In any case, this person will soon step into the domestic entertainment circle. When the time comes, binding her to the Yin Group will be your job."

"Hold on, this woman isn’t simple, right? She can sell her child for survival, clearly not a woman who uses her brain. Someone like her, who should be living in hiding to protect her life, yet she actually enters the entertainment industry... by any ordinary judgment, that’s not a wise move."

"However, from another perspective, if Cui Qiurong really becomes an entertainment star, once she gains fame and status, Yin Shiqing would have to tread carefully if he wanted to act against her."

"Which agency did she sign with? Who dared to help her even after knowing she’s offended Yin Shiqing?"

Yin Shixiu’s lips curled slightly, and he casually replied,

"What do you think?"

The door opened and closed.

Chen Lan stared at the closed door, picked up the photo on the table, and then hurriedly searched online.

Without mentioning how many people are named Huang Tingting, the number of Huang Tingting in the entertainment industry is also quite large.

Among the plethora of information, Chen Lan found a piece of information that could be considered a clue, originating from Weibo.

It’s a set of photographs on the African savannah, featuring Huang Tingting and some wild animals, dated... one week ago.

The agency is named Meng Meng Film and Television.

"Damn!"

It took Chen Lan only a few seconds to figure it out; he knew Meng Meng Film and Television was a company that Yin Shixiu had pushed some subordinates to establish at the beginning of last year.

He threw tens of millions into it, saying, "Just play around. It’s best if you can make something of it; if not, forget it."

Yin Shixiu’s words weren’t just about flaunting wealth but rather because these subordinates all had strong competitive spirits.

Upon hearing Yin Shixiu say that, if they couldn’t achieve anything, it would be quite embarrassing for them.

And the name "Meng Meng Film and Television" was their response to Yin Shixiu’s remarks.

So...

When exactly did Yin Shixiu find Cui Qiurong? According to what he knows, it should be recently, but exactly when, one really needs to ask Yang Rui.

Once found, he openly laid out the cards, clarified the pros and cons, signed the contract, and entered the show business.

Even if someone discovers this newcomer and investigates, at the end of the day, it’ll still come back to Meng Meng Film and Television.

A new company making a newcomer famous isn’t easy, but the problem is this Meng Meng Film and Television is under the Yin Group!

Chen Lan felt once this woman endorses the Yin Group’s products...

It would be hard not for someone with a keen interest to dig deeper, right?

The speculation would soon connect the Yin Group with Meng Meng Film and Television, and then this newcomer would be thrust into the spotlight.

And when Yin Shiqing, the political figure, notices the fresh happenings in the entertainment circle, who knows when that will be...

At that point, if Chen Lan guessed correctly, Cui Qiurong would be crafted into the entertainment industry’s kindest new star, with a fake age of... twenty.

As for when Yin Shiqing would realize Huang Tingting is Cui Qiurong...

Yin Shixiu would definitely want Yin Shiqing to discover as soon as possible!

The expression on Yin Shiqing’s face when he finds out will surely be priceless.

All Cui Qiurong needs to do is to spill how Yin Shiqing used her mother, killed their child, and then snatched her child, forcing her poor mother to death...

Along with the supporting evidence Yin Shixiu already has at hand...

Even if Yin Shiqing had ten heads, they wouldn’t suffice to comprehend it all.

Actually, to pursue the old case, they have already found Cui Qiurong, and they could act at this point.

But Yin Shixiu wasn’t in haste; instead, he leveraged Huang Tingting’s momentum, aiming for more than just a result, because the result was something he already knew.

He wanted the influence of the incident to continually expand, causing Yin Shiqing to fall from his high perch, crashing to smithereens, never to recover!

For this, he held back patiently, lurking like a snake in the shadows, slowly approaching the sinner who had climbed his way up and was blissfully self-satisfied.

Understanding all of this, Chen Lan felt complicated, and for a moment couldn’t help sympathizing with Yin Shiqing, then murmured,

"Damn, men who play mind games are truly twisted."

————

Chen Lan could anticipate to what extent, grasp his thoughts to what degree, Yin Shixiu had a sense in his heart.

But there were always places in his mind that Chen Lan couldn’t fully grasp.

For instance, such momentum creation, such calculated progress, expanding the situation, is not only aimed at Yin Shiqing.

He also wanted Yin Shaohui, Zhou Mengqin, and everyone else in the Yin Family, whether inside or outside, to understand clearly, to see and fear.

He was using this opportunity to cement his position as Family Head.

The Yin Family had always been like this.

With a new Family Head ascending, the family usually experienced some turmoil.

Especially now that the Yin Family has grown into such a large and prosperous family, who wouldn’t want to come back to stir things up?

He didn’t want to experience probing and speculation from relatives once ascending.

He preferred getting everything in place at once!

Only, Yin Shixiu hadn’t expected that while he was scheming against Yin Shiqing, someone far away in London was plotting against him.

He had stayed in Beijing for two weeks.

Before returning to London, he called Su Xiaomeng; at that time, it was Friday night at ten in London.

Beijing was in the early morning at four, and he was at the airport.

"Going to board soon."

"Mm, okay, safe travels."

"When I get to London, I’ll first swing by the company for a short meeting, might not get home until later in the evening."

"Mm, alright, don’t overwork yourself."

Yin Shixiu responded, asking her to sleep early before proceeding to board the plane with his luggage.

However, phone or video communications couldn’t fully satisfy his longing for his wife.

Moreover, ever since the incident with Shen Dawei, his wife had indeed been notably colder to him.

Whether it was calls or video chat, they no longer held the warmth and coquettishness of a little woman.

Even during the New Year, their couple’s activities weren’t as harmonious.

This truly made Yin Shixiu feel somewhat neglected.

One or two days can be tolerated, but whenever it dragged on to weeks, Yin Shixiu’s frustration grew.

Throughout the flight’s ten-plus hour journey, his mind was consumed with this matter.

As a dignified president of the Yin Group, to be neglected by the lady president to this extent, he couldn’t even afford to get angry but had to keep coaxing...

This was why his luggage included three packs of Beijing roast duck, several boxes of Su Ma’s handmade cookies, and the Beijing snacks Su Xiaomeng mentioned liking.

Whatever he could fit, he packed.

For this reason, the new assistant accompanying him looked utterly perplexed the whole way.

Couldn’t figure out... how this president seemed to be down-to-earth almost to the point of going underground.

Beijing roast duck and such, even specially instructed the sauce shouldn’t be too salty, didn’t fit the image of a dignified president at all!

When thinking it over, Yin Shixiu also felt quite pathetic, internally both amused and slightly aggravated.

But then again, that saying rang true; none but her will do.

————

Meanwhile, in a three-hundred plus square-meter home, the atmosphere was fearfully tense, to the point where no one dared to breathe.

Su Xiaomeng looked ashen-faced at the pregnancy test report before her.

The person sitting across from her wasn’t anyone else but her teacher whom she always admired—Cherry.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the ten o’clock sun seemed exceedingly bright...

She knew, the so-called warmth of a winter sun was just a literal deception.

In winter, there was no warm sun, only a façade.

Cherry’s eyes were reddened, tears flooding her face, she said,

"I’m sorry, I really didn’t realize... didn’t expect it would escalate to this, I didn’t expect... I would get pregnant, sob sob sob..."

Su Xiaomeng’s face maintained a calm, very calm expression.

But inside, her heart was bleeding.

Claire, nearby, was too frightened to utter a word, her whole body was tense.

Shuangshuang and Huanghuang were originally playing with toys, now overwhelmed by the suddenly chilly atmosphere, looking confused.

"Claire, take Shuang’er and Huang’er back to their room; give them two candies. Today they can have an extra two."

Claire couldn’t detect any change in Su Xiaomeng’s tone, hurriedly agreed and escorted Shuangshuang and Huanghuang back to the room with candies.

Only two women were left in the living room.
