"Then how do I get in?"
Su Xiaong mumbled, wanting to say: If I can’t get in, I’ll just go with you...
Yin Shixiu took out his phone and deftly called Su’s mother.
Su Xiaong pouted and didn’t say anything else.
The two of them waited outside the gate, and before long, Su’s mother ca to open the door.
Su Xiaong was wearing Yin Shixiu’s coat, while Yin Shixiu was wearing Bai Fengmao’s down jacket...
The two looked a bit...
Su’s mother, after all, had been through this before, and had so guesses in her heart, but felt... it’s unlikely.
Yin Shixiu isn’t a young man in his twenties, he wouldn’t do such a ridiculous thing, would he?
"Mom, sorry to disturb your rest."
Yin Shixiu said, then lightly pushed Su Xiaong’s back, "Go in and sleep."
Su Xiaong scratched her head, turned to look at Yin Shixiu, "Are you... going to walk back?"
"Yeah, it’s not too far."
Bai Sixian saw Su Xiaong’s expression, sighed, "Your grandfather is already asleep, just sneak in."
Before Yin Shixiu could respond, Su Xiaong pulled him inside!
"Mom, you’re the smart one!"
Bai Sixian watched the couple’s backs, finding it quite amusing, as if she and her father were trying to break up a pair of lovebirds.
Yin Shixiu followed Su Xiaong back to the bedroom in secret.
Su Xiaong hurried to the closet to find sothing Yin Shixiu could sleep in, but the bedroom was originally left by grandfather for mom, so it was filled with mom’s old clothes. Even if there were so new ones, they were all... won’s clothes.
She held a large pale pink silk nightgown, holding back her laughter, and walked up to Yin Shixiu...
"Wear it as a T-shirt, this is the only thing that fits..."
Yin Shixiu glanced at the won’s nightgown in her hand, raised an eyebrow, pulled her into his arms, "Want to see clown around?"
"Um... No, no."
Su Xiaong quickly shook her head, who dared to let him clown around?
Yin Shixiu pulled her hand, and they went into the bathroom together, cleaned up, and ca out again. Naturally, Yin Shixiu did not wear the sexy silk nightgown.
The gown was now on Su Xiaong...
He wore a bathrobe, and though it was a bit small for a won’s size, it would still do.
After drying their hair, the two laid down on the bed.
Yin Shixiu, through the fine silk garnt, began groping Su Xiaong.
This outdoor battle was thrilling, but nothing compares to the comfort and ease of a bed.
Su Xiaong grabbed his hand, "Yin Shixiu, you’ve gone too far."
Yin Shixiu pulled her into his arms, "Alright, let’s sleep."
Su Xiaong gave him a look, snuggled into his arms, and soon fell asleep deeply.
By the next morning, when Su Xiaong woke up, Yin Shixiu was no longer by her side.
She raised her hand to touch her forehead.
Rembering that he had to slip out early in the morning...
Seeing the ti, it was already past eight, she was surprised that her mom didn’t bring the child to find her for feeding.
She quickly washed up and hurried downstairs.
Who knew...
Pausing at the second-floor stairway, she looked at the group gathered in the living room below...
Her grandfather, mother, uncle... and husband!
The Yin family’s father-in-law and mother-in-law, the couple who drives the Ferrari, and a middle-aged man about the sa age as the uncle, whom she hadn’t t before.
In addition, she vaguely heard voices from the yard... Shan Minglang and Yin ng.
The first to see Su Xiaong was Yin Shixiu, but the first to speak was Bai Fengmao.
"ng ng, you’re awake? Co on down."
Bai Fengmao waved her over, then instructed the maid to bring over breakfast.
Although Su Xiaong was a bit hungry, in this situation, it was impossible to properly digest breakfast.
She ca downstairs, greeted everyone, and was then pulled by Bai Fengmao to sit beside him.
Su Xiaong felt a little nervous, maybe because there were too many people, maybe because yesterday’s events had escalated, maybe it was...
The intense and undeniable gaze Mrs. Yin had on her.
"Xiao ng, yesterday, Bowen and Zhu Lan made you suffer. Today, your mother-in-law and I brought them to apologize to you."
It was Yin Shaohui who spoke.
Su Xiaong quickly said, "No... it’s nothing."
"Although you weren’t severely hurt, recalling the scene, we’re all still shaken. Bowen is my grandson, and Zhu Lan is my granddaughter-in-law, it’s on as a grandfather for not teaching them well."
"Not teaching your grandson and granddaughter-in-law isn’t the only issue you have, is it?"
Bai Fengmao coldly said, with a hint of sarcasm.
Yin Shaohui’s old face stiffened slightly, "Brother Bai, are you still angry?"
"What? Just because a night has passed, everything should be over?"
"No, that’s not what I ant, it’s just that... ng ng and Shixiu are already married after all. They’re in love. We can’t possibly break them up for no good reason, can we?"
Yin Shaohui continued.
Bai Fengmao took a breath, "Brother Yin, you speak as if it was who wanted to separate the loving couple, and not the two of you, the old couple."
"Brother Bai, regarding Xiao ng’s issue, I’ve thought about it all night..."
When her husband was sowhat at a loss for words, Zhou ngqin spoke up.
She raised her eyes, looked straight at Bai Fengmao, and continued, "Perhaps I’ve been too extre. Especially concerning what Bowen and Zhu Lan did to Xiao ng yesterday... I’m truly ashad. So today, on behalf of the Yin Family, I apologize to Su Xiaong and to you."
Zhou ngqin’s words left Su Xiaong instantly dumbfounded.
She felt... she really wasn’t qualified to accept this, and she truly couldn’t bear it.
The word ’Yin’ got stuck in her throat, and Su Xiaong found herself unable to speak.
Seeing Mrs. Yin lowering her head, with a shadow cast over her usually graceful and proud face.
She knew Mrs. Yin disapproved of her, and she felt distressed because of it, but... never because she thought Mrs. Yin was wrong, never because she resented her.
Leaving aside all psychological, emotional, and even family background factors.
She was far behind Yin Shixiu.
Her knowledge was far behind Yin Shixiu, her understanding was far behind Yin Shixiu, and even those virtues and qualities she never cared about...
She couldn’t match up to Yin Shixiu...
This was a fact, a fact that could be clearly written in black and white.
And now, Mrs. Yin was bowing and apologizing for this fact to her and her grandfather...
Could it be just because... her mother’s surna was Bai, and she was Bai Fengmao’s granddaughter...
Aside from that, Su Xiaong couldn’t find any other reason that could make Mrs. Yin say such words.
However, what Su Xiaong soon truly witnessed was... the poise of the matriarch of a family.
Bai Fengmao wasn’t soone who could be easily appeased. These days, if an apology alone could resolve all problems, the world would be trendously harmonious, and the country would flourish and thrive.
"Little Sister Zhou, it’s not that I don’t accept your apology, it’s just that... anyone can speak, but sincerity, I haven’t seen yet."
"Brother Bai."
Yin Shaohui knew that they ca over early in the morning to pacify Bai Fengmao, but when Bai Fengmao refused to give in and instead pressed his wife harder and harder...
The protective husband, with the fiery core of a soldier, began to surge.
However, as soon as he made a sound, Zhou ngqin pinched his hand, signaling him to stop.
Yin Shaohui wasn’t afraid of Zhou ngqin, but after years of going through life’s storms together as a married couple.
The experience showed that this iron-blooded soldier who only knew how to solve problems with force found that his wife often had better solutions.
As they grew older, and as society constantly developed and tis changed... it beca harder to resolve things with force.
Therefore, Zhou ngqin often spoke in response to more complex conflicts.
Bai Fengmao quietly watched the Yin Family mbers in front of him.
He was afraid the Yin Family would ask him what could earn his forgiveness. This Bai Fengmao couldn’t say, he felt that no matter what was done, it wouldn’t appease his bitterness.
But when Zhou ngqin placed the USB drive, which he had thrown at the Yin Family yesterday, back in front of Bai Fengmao, Bai Fengmao was a bit puzzled.
"Brother Bai, I deeply understand the importance of empathy. If it were my granddaughter encountering this today, I wouldn’t get over it either."
No one knew what Zhou ngqin was planning to do, so Bai Fengmao simply listened and waited.
Su Xiaong clasped her hands together, inexplicably nervous, feeling as though she were on the receiving end of a criticism session.
Yin Shixiu leaned back on the sofa, looking relaxed and as if he had nothing to do with the matter, with a pair of eagle eyes carrying a faint smile as they fell on his uneasy wife.
"Even if we were to have Bowen kneel in front of you and take a beating, it might not necessarily appease your anger."
Zhou ngqin was speaking hypothetically, yet Zhu Lan was already uneasy, hastily turning her head to glance at Zhou ngqin, quite shocked.
Grandma... could she really be planning to do sothing to them?
It couldn’t be, could it?
They... didn’t actually hit Su Xiaong!
"I am a man of letters; I can’t bring myself to whip or cane the younger generation."
Bai Fengmao spoke slowly, his expression rather cold as he glanced at Yin Bowen and Zhu Lan.
It’s said that Yin Bowen is only a few months younger than Yin Shixiu, yet in appearance, Shixiu looks a few years younger than Yin Bowen...
Bai Fengmao glanced at Yin Shixiu again, wondering if he might find a chance to ask Yin Shixiu soday about his youthful maintenance.
No one noticed Bai Fengmao was thinking such odd things, given the serious face he wore.
"I know Brother Bai wouldn’t do such things. Last night, I carefully watched the video several tis, and it’s indeed because of Bowen’s driving that Xiao ng fell. Whether there was a collision or not, it’s still a traffic accident."
Traffic accident...
These four words are quite delicate.
Bai Fengmao had a montary lapse of focus earlier, so he didn’t imdiately grasp it at this point.
But Yin Shaohui, knowing his wife’s character... almost instantly understood.
Yin Shixiu didn’t know his mother’s plan in advance, but he could guess most of it in his heart.
Bai Sixian, knowing everyone’s mind well, roughly guessed it, but also found it unlikely, so his gaze at Zhou ngqin was full of confusion.
