Chapter 1142 - 756: You Were Betrayed by Shuangshuang!

Su Xiaomeng finished explaining and her gaze shifted back to Shuangshuang, which made Yin Jinxi, who thought she was safe, shrink her neck and immediately perk up.

"Yin Jinxi, no matter if Dad told you to do this or not, remember this: even if someone holds a knife to your neck, something you shouldn’t do must not be done! No matter how close you are to Mom, you cannot tamper with my things without my permission. Respecting others is the most basic principle of being a person. If you think I’m wrong, then convince me! If you can’t convince me, I’ll wait for you to apologize to me. Until then, Mom won’t say another word to you."

Shuangshuang stood there foolishly, perhaps digesting what Su Xiaomeng had said...

Xiao Meng looked at Prince Huang, "The same goes for you, brother; no matter when, you should respect others’ privacy, even if it’s the person you love the most, or someone closest to you."

Prince Huang nodded.

Su Xiaomeng glanced at the time and said to Ah Su, "Is the meal ready?"

Ah Su nodded, "Yes, almost done."

"Prepare the meal, the old folks should eat. I can’t eat right now, still have some homework unfinished, you all go ahead and eat."

Su Xiaomeng said then walked out on her own, everyone’s eyes fell on her, she seemed emotionless... but no one was foolish, they all knew something was wrong.

Ah Su looked at the elders, then at the children...

It was Zhou Mengqin who spoke first, "Let’s eat, the kids are hungry..."

"Alright."

————

Xiao Meng returned to Jun Garden and went straight into the study, sat in the leather chair, calmly opened the university textbook on the desk, turned to the page where she left her notes...

Picked up the pen, wrote nothing, then threw the pen down again, covering her face.

Su Xiaomeng couldn’t figure it out...

Was it she who changed, or did Yin Shixiu change? Or was it the feelings between them that changed? What exactly... changed...

The more she didn’t want to care, the more the issue was thrown in her face, provoking her.

Alone, she leaned over the desk, wondering since when what tired her wasn’t the busy schoolwork and job, not the daily toil of raising kids, but the relationship between her and Yin Shixiu...

Su Xiaomeng propped her chin, her phone vibrated next to her, she opened WeChat, and it was a message from Chi Lun re-adding her as a friend.

She let out a small sigh, moved her lips, added him back, and hurriedly explained to Chi Lun,

"I’m sorry, Professor Chi, it was my daughter playing with my phone that day, she’s very naughty, I didn’t expect her to look at my WeChat without my permission..."

"Oh, I forgot, the teacher told me you have both a son and a daughter."

Su Xiaomeng held her forehead, forcing a smile, "Two mischievous ones, just know how to mess around, I’m really sorry, haven’t even officially started working and left such a bad impression on you all..."

"As long as it’s cleared up, it’s fine. I understand..."

Chi Lun had a temper, inside him was a proud resilience, but he also had a broad mind.

Since the issue was explained and cleared, Chi Lun was at ease, and wouldn’t dwell on the matter.

"When I go to school, I’ll personally apologize and explain to the professors and teachers. If they’re willing to give face, I’ll treat everyone to a meal this weekend."

"Oh? Can we order anything?"

"Of course!"

"Hmm... I bet everyone will order expensive then!"

Chi Lun stroked his chin calmly, jokingly said while looking at the chat page.

"Must order expensive!"

Su Xiaomeng said firmly. Hearing Chi Lun’s voice, he didn’t sound like someone who would fuss over it, Su Xiaomeng felt a bit relieved...

The two chatted a bit more, then ended the conversation to each attend to their own business.

Su Xiaomeng really didn’t have an appetite at the time, by the time she finished with the homework, it was already past eight, the butler took Shuangshuang and Huanghuang back to Jun Garden.

She was true to her word, didn’t say a single word to Shuangshuang from start to finish.

Both washed up, changed into pajamas, without any mischief, Jun Garden was very quiet.

Shuangshuang and Huanghuang returned to their room, Huanghuang took out his textbook and started reading before bed, Shuangshuang also sat at her desk, heavy-hearted...

"Brother..."

Shuangshuang called Prince Huang, but Prince Huang really didn’t want to deal with her.

"Brother!"

"What is it?"

"What if Mom really ignores me?" Shuangshuang asked.

"Why don’t you just apologize to her?"

"But I have principles! Dad told me to delete it, it’s not my fault, I won’t take the blame!"

Shuangshuang said earnestly, Prince Huang put down the textbook, turned around and looked at her earnestly, "If you’re so principled, then just keep at it with Mom!"

"..."

"The fault is yours, stop making excuses, you were born by Mom, if you’re so principled, then Mom must be even more principled, do you think you can outlast Mom?"

Shuangshuang blinked at Prince Huang, "It’s true... then I’ll apologize to Mom first thing in the morning, I’m going to sleep!"

With that, Shuangshuang started to crawl into bed—

"Did you finish your book?"

"I did, just now."

"..."

Prince Huang knew even with his back turned she surely wasn’t reading, either daydreaming or lost in thought.

He didn’t bother her, knowing she cried pitifully at night.

But once Shuangshuang crawled into bed and lay down, Prince Huang also lost interest in reading, unconsciously tapping the pen in his hand on the desk...

"Brother, what are you doing..."

"Shuangshuang, do you think... Dad and Mom are fighting?" Prince Huang suddenly asked.

"..."

"Have Dad and Mom not been together for a long time? And... we rarely see Mom call Dad proactively, she used to video call Dad after resting in the evening, now..."

"Brother..."

"Hmm?"

"You’re overthinking it! Dad and Mom are fine! Didn’t you hear Mom say she’s most in love with Dad? Last time I video-called Dad, he also said he really misses Mom and will come back when he’s done!"

"..."

Prince Huang found talking to Shuangshuang really exhausting, why would he think this absentminded girl could notice anything...

Even if there wasn’t an issue before, with Shuangshuang’s account of things, it probably might cause one now...

The more Huanghuang thought, the more unsettled he became, he took his phone from the drawer and video-called Dad...

After glancing at Shuangshuang, he said to her, "I’m going to the garden to cool off."

"Oh."

Prince Huang ran to the garden, leaned against the big plane tree, fortunately, Yin Shixiu answered the video call...

"Son?"

"Dad!"

"What are you doing alone in the garden late at night?"

"I’m here to rescue you."

"..."

Yin Shixiu thought he misheard, couldn’t help but chuckle, "Rescue me? Did something happen to me?"

"Dad, you might not believe it, but really, Shuangshuang sold you out."

"..."

Sold out by Shuangshuang... Yin Shixiu’s eyebrows slightly raised...
