Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 697 - 536: If Yin Shiqing Wants It, Then Give It to Him
"If there’s really going to be a quarrel, it should be the younger generation standing in the front. If the two uncles and aunt have—"
"Meng Meng, what you said is very good."
This time, it was neither Yin Shaoting nor Yin Shaoqun who spoke, but Yin Shaohuai.
Yin Shaohuai always had his biases, but he wasn’t an obstinate old man who didn’t understand reason.
The Yin Family had come step by step to where they were today, which was no easy feat. Yet in the past two years, big and small matters have been happening consecutively.
As the head of the Yin Family, if he didn’t find a way to pinpoint where the problems lay, it would truly be foolish.
The ability to read between the lines seemed to flow naturally in the blood of the Yin Family members.
Yin Shaohuai saw Su Xiaomeng openly confronting Yin Shiqing without retreat, and indeed felt a tinge of anger inside, as if she didn’t take the elders seriously, thinking they were all old and useless...
He thought this Su Xiaomeng was trying to steal the limelight now.
But unexpectedly, after the departure of Yin Shiqing and his wife, the first thing she said was an apology for her words and deeds. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Yin Shaohuai couldn’t reconcile the sensible and well-behaved young woman in front of him with the reckless and timid little girl she had been when she first entered the Yin home.
"Spoken well... done well too... In the past, when uncles and aunts gathered, they all said this little girl was exceptionally fortunate, having accumulated virtues in her past life to marry the fourth child in this life..."
"Now it seems, for the fourth child to marry you, it was he who accumulated virtues in his past life... alas..."
Yin Shaohuai sighed deeply.
In his heart, he found it amusing and regrettable that he didn’t have high hopes for Su Xiaomeng initially.
At the same time...
He also ignited a glimmer of hope inside.
Hearing Yin Shaohuai’s words, Su Xiaomeng breathed a sigh of relief and then continued,
"Earlier, I arbitrarily decided to let Yin Shiqing come back in three days. I hope uncles and aunt are not angry."
Yin Shaoqun looked at Su Xiaomeng,
"Yin Shiqing is unfilial, completely disregarding his parents and elders, such heartlessness has already left us disheartened. We heard every word you said to Mr. and Mrs. Yin Shiqing just now."
"Second brother is right. You spoke well and did well. Why would we be angry with you?"
"It’s just, Xiao Meng... I want to know, you asked Yin Shiqing to come after the seventh day of the fourth elder’s passing, saying a decision would be made... what is this decision..."
"Little aunt..."
Su Xiaomeng looked at Yin Shaoqun, "This decision must be made by Mom and Dad."
"..."
"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Little Aunt... you are the elders of the Yin Family, but the issue of the family head’s succession still needs Mom and Dad to make that decision."
The three siblings fell silent and nodded.
"I want to go upstairs to see Mom and Dad first."
"Go ahead."
Su Xiaomeng turned back to instruct Ming Xu and Ming Lang to take good care of the elders, then went straight upstairs.
She knocked on the elderly couple’s room.
Two beds were placed side by side.
Yin Shaohui lay on one, with an IV drip in his hand, receiving nutrition fluid.
Zhou Mengqin leaned against the headboard, looking slightly better in spirit than Yin Shaohui, but only slightly.
The elderly woman, who was already thin, seemed reduced to skin and bones after the past few days’ torment, making Su Xiaomeng’s heart ache.
Busy with the funeral arrangements these days, Xiao Meng had not had a chance to speak with the elderly couple.
As soon as Zhou Mengqin saw Su Xiaomeng walk in, her aged eyes instinctively fell on her head...
Su Xiaomeng, sensing her gaze, quickly touched her head and smiled foolishly,
"It’s already grown back black."
Zhou Mengqin’s hollowed eye sockets, with murky eyes, turned red instantly.
Seeing her hair turned white overnight had already caused the elderly woman great heartache, and now Su Xiaomeng’s facade of strength made her feel even worse.
Early in the morning, Yin Shiqing and his wife had come; she heard clearly what transpired and what they said in the hall.
"You’ve suffered... child..."
Zhou Mengqin beckoned her over and touched her hair.
Su Xiaomeng’s eyes warmed, barely holding back her tears.
She didn’t want to cry anymore.
Even though her husband’s life was uncertain, even with her heart tightly tied to her husband... she couldn’t cry anymore.
There were already too many tears flowing within the Yin family.
Su Xiaomeng sat at the bedside, holding Zhou Mengqin’s cold hand. She glanced at Yin Shaohui lying in the bed,
"Dad, he... can’t go on like this, Mom, you should persuade him to eat something."
Zhou Mengqin sighed,
"You’re telling him? Ah Su said in the past few days, you also ate barely anything, hardly drinking even water."
"But from now on, I will eat well."
