Chapter 1343: The Grand Finale: It's Time to Tell Xiao Meng

That night he returned and placed the baby girl into the compartment that was originally meant for Xiao Ang.

The next day, Xiao Yan submitted a resignation application.

What happened later in the hospital, Xiao Yan was unaware of.

A baby girl was missing from the morgue, and he didn’t know what methods the hospital used to cover up the matter or how they explained it to the parents of the deceased infant.

But Xiao Yan was certain that even if there were loopholes, the hospital would try their best to keep this matter hidden.

This would probably count as a typical case of making a mess and letting others clean it up.

“Little Yan, what are you thinking about? Shixiu is talking to you, didn’t you hear?” Xiao Anhe called out to Xiao Yan, pulling him back from his thoughts that drifted to five and a half years ago.

“I heard.”

Xiao Yan calmly snapped back to reality, his gaze falling on Yin Shixiu, “Xiao Ang told me, he said he just went out for a walk, then ran into you, and that evening you took him to dinner.”

“Is that what he told you?”

Yin Shixiu chuckled lightly.

With that smile, Xiao Yan was instantly alarmed, locking eyes with Yin Shixiu, “Is there something else that Xiao Ang is unwilling to tell me?”

“Well… this was initially a little secret between him and me, but since you’re Xiao Ang’s guardian, it’s no harm to tell you.”

Although Xiao Yan maintained a gentle smile on his face, his heart was truly filled with unease, and his hands clasped together unconsciously using force.

“He came to the Yin Family to find me because someone told him that Su Xiaomeng was his mother.”

“…”

Xiao Yan’s pupils contracted sharply, and that moment of abrupt contraction was entirely captured in Yin Shixiu’s eyes.

“That person told him that I had taken his mother away, so if he came to persuade me to return Su Xiaomeng to him, Su Xiaomeng could continue to be his mother.”

Yin Shixiu said calmly, then laughed twice, “This child is quite adorable… isn’t he?”

Xiao Yan’s face was now extremely unpleasant…

Upon hearing this, Xiao Anhe furrowed his brow, “Something like this? Who’s spreading rumors! Mr. Yin, Xiao Ang could definitely not be Xiao Meng’s son. At that time, my Little Yan was so young, there’s absolutely no chance he and Su Xiaomeng had any interactions. With no interactions, how could there be a child!”

“Dean Xiao, don’t worry, of course, I knew it was a misunderstanding. Don’t I know my own wife? If my wife could cuckold me, then probably no man in the world could avoid being cuckolded.”

Yin Shixiu teased, his gaze falling back on Xiao Yan,

“Why does Xiao Yan look so unwell?”

Xiao Yan raised his head, and when he met Yin Shixiu’s gaze again, a fleeting slyness crossed his eyes, and he quickly asked, “Who was it?”

Yin Shixiu looked at Xiao Yan,

“I think you, Xiao Yan, shouldn’t be a fool. You don’t need me to say it explicitly, do you?”

“…”

Xiao Yan clenched his fist, indeed, he didn’t need Yin Shixiu to explicitly say it. He had already suspected Pu Yang last night, but he still held onto a glimmer of hope that Pu Yang’s goal had been achieved, and he wouldn’t do any more disgusting things.

“Besides, I need to tell you something, Xiao Yan. You might consider it my paranoia, but… I’ll say it, and you keep it in mind.”

Yin Shixiu said as he seemed to have a dry mouth, and then took a sip of tea from the small cup on the coffee table, then slowly continued,

“Yesterday when I was sending Xiao Ang back, I noticed someone was following us. The purpose of this pursuit was not pure, and the behavior clearly suggested a fatal car crash intent.”

“…”

Xiao Yan, whose face hadn’t yet returned to normal, froze again.

“I can’t be sure whether the person following our car was targeting me or Xiao Xiaoang, but I think you, Xiao Yan, should be able to figure it out.”

“…”

Xiao Yan’s fist was already clenched tightly.

“Not long ago, I heard from Xiao Meng that you and Xiao Ang had a big argument, almost to the point of severing your father-son relationship, just because you wanted to marry a woman, and Xiao Ang didn’t like that woman. Well… Xiao Yan, maybe my view is somewhat one-sided, but to some extent, you don’t count as a good father.”

“…”

Yin Shixiu stood up, “I’ll leave it at that. For now, it seems this counts as a family matter, and I won’t participate.”

After listening to Yin Shixiu’s words, Xiao Anhe also froze, his eyes instantly filled with blood vessels…

For some reason, he thought of the vile person who killed his wife years ago, and the saying ‘the most poisonous woman’s heart in the world’.

“Dean Xiao, let’s meet up another day.”

Xiao Anhe nodded somewhat weakly, “I won’t see you off. Sister Liu, please see Mr. Yin out.”

“No need.”

Yin Shixiu said lightly, taking the overcoat Sister Liu handed him, Xiao Yan stood up, he said to Yin Shixiu, “Thank you for telling me these things.”

“Don’t thank me yet, I didn’t do it for you.”

“I understand, like Mrs. Yin, you both feel sorry for this child, Xiao Ang, so you both care deeply about him. I apologize for Xiao Ang’s misbehavior yesterday.”

Yin Shixiu just curved his lips, “You indeed should apologize to me.”

After speaking, Yin Shixiu walked straight toward the door.

The purpose of Yin Shixiu’s visit today was not for Xiao Yan.

He also thought that it might be possible that just as he left Xiao Kaicheng’s villa, he would tell Xiao Yan that he had confirmed that Xiao Xiaoang was indeed Yin Xiaobao.

If Xiao Kaicheng said it, then it didn’t matter to him; he would still bring up Pu Yang. If Xiao Yan wasn’t interested in dealing with Pu Yang, then he would handle it himself.

But when Xiao Yan returned, his expression at that time already indicated that he hadn’t had any contact with Xiao Kaicheng yet.

So Yin Shixiu decided to temporarily throw Pu Yang to him to see how this man, who was so fond of Pu Yang, would deal with this woman.

He was not afraid of Xiao Kaicheng and Xiao Yan communicating. It should be Xiao Yan who was afraid; the earlier Xiao Kaicheng communicated with him, the sooner he would have to return Xiao Ang to him.

Walking out of the gates of the Xiao Family Villa, he saw from a distance the Xiao family’s private car drive up. The car stopped a few steps away, and then a small figure pushed open the back door and clambered out of the car. He saw Yin Shixiu and ran towards him excitedly, looking up and asking,

“Did you come to see me?”

Yin Shixiu looked at him, then squatted down and smiled gently at him, “School’s out?”

“Yeah, school let out a bit late today. The teacher was so annoying! Have you been waiting for me for a long time?” Xiao Xiaoang scratched his head and asked with a smile.

Yin Shixiu pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said,

“I didn’t come to see you today, I’m here to see your dad.”

“To see Xiao Yan…? What are you seeing Xiao Yan for?” A bad premonition arose in Xiao Xiaoang’s heart.

“I came to him to get him to drive away the woman you hate.”

“…” Xiao Xiaoang’s eyes widened, staring straight at Yin Shixiu…

“I also told your dad about the deal between us.”

Yin Shixiu raised his hand to grip his small shoulder, looking him straight in the eye, and said.

Xiao Xiaoang’s elf-like large eyes were filled with mixed emotions; he didn’t quite understand the uncle’s move,

“This… wasn’t this our secret?”

“Yes.”

“Then, why did you tell Xiao Yan…” Xiao Xiaoang’s brows furrowed, his expression not good, seemingly with a hint of hidden anger…

Yin Shixiu closely observed the changes in expression on his small face within this instant…

Even though he could see the anger on his little face, his smile only grew wider.

He wasn’t Xiao Yan, he didn’t grow up with him, didn’t know his preferences, didn’t know if he was picky about food, didn’t know whether he would stay silent when angry like Huang Huang.

That handsome little face, the faint anger on his face suddenly disappeared entirely, replaced by another expression—

“You… you’re not going to return Su Xiaomeng to me, are you!”

The little guy’s face was filled with worry, you could even vaguely see the despair…

“The five days aren’t up yet! Uncle, please go back and think about it again, I’m not in a hurry!” Xiao Xiaoang hurriedly waved his hand and said.

Yin Shixiu saw his panic, only then realizing he misunderstood…

“And you’ve already taken the money, there’s no reason not to deliver when you’ve been paid!”

Xiao Ang, in his rush, didn’t know what to say, quickly looking up seriously to remind him.

Yin Shixiu lowered his head and chuckled.

Xiao Xiaoang saw him laugh and scratched his hair, he really couldn’t find anything funny about the situation.

“Xiao Ang, I didn’t tell your dad; I’m considering the matter of returning Su Xiaomeng to you. I came to see your dad today because I wanted to tell him that Pu Yang has been unkind to you; she coaxed you into finding me with a hidden agenda.”

“…” Xiao Xiaoang blinked his eyes.

Yin Shixiu ruffled his hair, “It’s okay if you don’t understand, you just need to know that the promise between us is still valid, four days left.”

Xiao Xiaoang’s eyes lit up again, he clasped his hands together, “Really?”

“Really.”

“You’re the best.”

“Put your hat on properly and head inside. It’s cold outside,” Yin Shixiu adjusted the woolen hat on his head and said to him.

“Oh, okay.”

Xiao Xiaoang promptly responded, then waved at Yin Shixiu, “Uncle, there are still four days!”

Yin Shixiu stood up and waved back at him as well.

It’s just a few steps to the gate of the Xiao family’s villa, but this little guy kept looking back, each time with a smile, each time extending his little finger to indicate that they had made a promise.

Yin Shixiu took a deep breath.

What to do…

He looked up at the sky, winter nights always seemed to come so quickly.

In about twenty days, it would be the New Year again…

This year’s New Year, their family should be completely reunited…

With this thought, he actually began to look forward to this New Year. Looking forward to this first New Year with his Little Treasure at home…

The slight mist in his eyes was frozen by the cold air.

It’s time to tell Xiao Meng.
