Chapter 1353 - 902: The Grand Finale: I’m Just Here for a Couple of Days, No Need to Be So Hospitable, Right?

"Grandpa stopped crying, so you need to keep getting the stars regularly, okay?"

"Got it! Hey!"

After Xiao Xiaoang responded, he let out a heavy sigh. Xiao Kaicheng was sitting opposite this grandfather and grandson duo, watching Xiao Ang’s lively appearance and Xiao Anhe’s heart full of bitterness but with nowhere to express it.

Xiao Kaicheng stood up supporting himself with a cane,

"Well... take care of yourselves. If you need my help, give me a call, not for your sake, for Little Yan."

The sky outside was gradually darkening. Xiao Kaicheng hunched over and walked out. Xiao Anhe never uttered a single word to keep him.

To Xiao Anhe, the sins committed by this father were already too grave, having cost him his entire life. Now, he is also the culprit who has put Little Yan in such a difficult situation.

"Goodbye, great-grandpa!"

Xiao Xiaoang shouted to Xiao Kaicheng.

Xiao Kaicheng’s slow stooped pace paused slightly, without turning back, he just waved his hand.

After Xiao Kaicheng left, Xiao Xiaoang asked Xiao Anhe, "Grandpa... Why didn’t you say goodbye to great-grandpa?"

Xiao Anhe really didn’t know how to explain this to Xiao Xiaoang, and then he heard Xiao Xiaoang with a sudden realization, say,

"I know! Did grandpa and great-grandpa have a fight? Haha!"

"... Why is this little guy so sharp?"

Xiao Anhe pinched Xiao Xiaoang’s cheek.

"Grandpa, you need to make up with great-grandpa quickly! See, Xiao Yan and I have reconciled, even though I didn’t want to, but if I kept not getting along with Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan would be upset, and so would I... and then only Pu Yang would be happy, hmph! I’m not foolish!"

A few days ago, Pu Yang was kicked out of the Xiao Family by Xiao Yan. Xiao Ang didn’t understand the reasons, but when Xiao Yan told him that Pu Yang wouldn’t appear at the Xiao Family again, Xiao Ang was overjoyed!

That night, the little guy excitedly stayed in Xiao Yan’s room.

No more discord between father and son.

"Yes, our Xiao Ang is the smartest and cleverest."

Xiao Anhe joked.

Forgive Xiao Kaicheng?

Reconcile with Xiao Kaicheng?

Xiao Anhe thought the rift between him and Xiao Kaicheng would never disappear in this lifetime because the woman he loved dearly would not suddenly reappear before him as if she resurrected, like how Xiao Ang did before the Yin Shixiu couple who considered him dead.

After Su Xiaomeng and Yin Shixiu returned home, Xiao Meng was still worried,

"If Xiao Anhe tells Xiao Ang directly that you let the police take Xiao Yan away, tomorrow when you pick him up... will he still come back with you?"

"This... will depend on what Xiao Anhe thinks regarding Xiao Ang. If he wants to minimize the harm to Xiao Ang from this matter, then he won’t say anything. If he doesn’t care whether Xiao Ang can accept this fact... then he might tell the truth to Xiao Xiaoang."

Su Xiaomeng bit her lip and took a deep breath...

"But don’t worry, I never intended for the Xiao Family to follow our instructions. I’ll handle everything. Tomorrow, you just need to have Shuangshuang and Huanghuang ready to welcome Xiao Ang home."

Su Xiaomeng was even more sleepless that night, fortunately, there wasn’t much work at the university, and what Chi Lun gave her wasn’t urgent.

Otherwise, she couldn’t imagine how she would collapse.

She stayed awake till dawn, Yin Shixiu was the same, perhaps even more exhausted, the investigation about Xiao Ang, the company’s affairs, all piled up were quite overwhelming for Yin Shixiu.

"Don’t drive. Let the driver take you."

"... I know, don’t overthink at home." Before leaving, Yin Shixiu kissed Su Xiaomeng’s forehead, noticing her deep dark circles, feeling both heartache and amusement, "Do you think... is there any other parents like us?"

"It’s clearly their own child coming home, yet they’re so anxious that they haven’t slept for several nights."

Su Xiaomeng took a deep breath and exhaled... then tightly held Yin Shixiu, "If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even know Xiao Ang is Little Treasure..."

"This is so embarrassing... hanging around with my own son every day without realizing he’s my cherished son."

Yin Shixiu ruffled her hair and hugged her tightly, "Heaven still shows some mercy towards us."

Even though the process is bumpy, perhaps more arduous, enduring more trials than others, but... at least, the child is alive, which counts as some grace towards the couple.

"Shuangshuang and Huanghuang might be a bit confused, you should talk to them again today, especially Huanghuang, who didn’t quite like Xiao Ang before."

Su Xiaomeng nodded, "Don’t worry, I’ll handle it well."

Yin Shixiu left...

Then Xiao Meng began to endure the torment again... Time passed little by little, whenever she was idle, she would unconsciously stare at the clock on the wall, watching the time go by...

Turns out a day can be stretched this long...

Shuangshuang and Huanghuang were huddled together, tinkering with something all day long, Xiao Meng had no idea, didn’t even have the mind to ask, just eagerly hoped Yin Shixiu would bring Xiao Ang back soon.

She... hadn’t seen Xiao Ang for a long time.

...

At the entrance of Peony Kindergarten, Yin Shixiu’s car was parked on the side, and he felt especially familiar, Shuang’er and Huang’er attended kindergarten here too, although he didn’t come to pick up Shuangshuang and Huanghuang often, every time he did, they would be overjoyed.

So now——

Little guy with a backpack peeked out the classroom door and upon seeing Yin Shixiu, immediately waved at him.

That excitement was just like how Shuangshuang and Huanghuang were from the same mold in those days, right?

Children lined up to leave, and parents picked them up one by one, Xiao Xiaoang jumped in front of Yin Shixiu with his big backpack, looked up and grinned at Yin Shixiu like a greeting to an old friend,

"You’ve come! Exactly five days! Hehe!"

"Yeah, exactly five days. I kept my promise, right?"

"Hehe, you’re the big boss. A big boss has to keep his word!"

Yin Shixiu chuckled and took his backpack, "Wow, why is your backpack so full?"

"Today is the last day, the teacher handed out lots of little prizes. There’s chocolate, lollipops, all sorts of goodies!"

"Here, hold my hand. Are you cold?"

Xiao Xiaoang reached out to hold Yin Shixiu’s hand, looked up, and said, "Not cold!"

Once in the car, Xiao Xiaoang kept staring at Yin Shixiu.

"What’s up?"

"Do we really have a driver?"

"Yeah, we have a driver today."

As Yin Shixiu spoke, Xiao Xiaoang awkwardly said, "Then I won’t get to see your super cool driving skills!"

"Do you want to see me race?"

"Yeah, it’s so cool!"

Xiao Xiaoang had a look of "endless admiration," which really amused Yin Shixiu.

"Then... next time I’ll take you to a real racetrack for a real racing experience, okay?"

"Wow... that would be awesome!"

Xiao Xiaoang exclaimed with his mouth wide open.

Yin Shixiu’s driver in the front seat also chuckled, hearing the child’s innocent words.

"But..."

"Huh?"

"Have you thought about it?" Xiao Xiaoang toned down his excitement and looked cautiously at Yin Shixiu...

Yin Shixiu stroked his chin and said to Xiao Xiaoang,

"I’ve already thought about it. Since Xiao Meng is your mom, I definitely can’t separate you two, right?"

Xiao Xiaoang nodded emphatically,

"Uncle Shuai, you’re really so kind!"

"But when I told this to Su Xiaomeng, she seemed a bit hesitant."

"Huh?"

Xiao Xiaoang’s expression was priceless, like someone had pressed pause, clearly saying: There’s such a thing?

"Yeah, my relationship with Su Xiaomeng has always been good, but suddenly having to choose between me and you is quite awkward, don’t you think?"

"So, Su Xiaomeng doesn’t want me?"

Xiao Xiaoang swallowed nervously and asked.

"I think it would be better for you to talk to Su Xiaomeng yourself, don’t you think?"

Xiao Xiaoang’s eyes focused a bit; after a moment’s thought, he nodded, "Indeed, I should talk to Su Xiaomeng myself. I am her son, after all!"

His "I’m her son, so I’m important" attitude was quite reassuring to Yin Shixiu.

Thank goodness for the time Xiao Meng spent with him, thank goodness Xiao Ang really liked Xiao Meng, thank goodness... Xiao Ang came looking for him so Xiao Meng would be his mom.

"Your dad is on a business trip these days. I talked to your dad, and you’ll be staying at my place for these few days."

Xiao Xiaoang raised an eyebrow, "Really? Why didn’t I know?"

"He probably didn’t have time to tell you..."

Xiao Xiaoang sighed long and muttered, "Xiao Yan is such an irresponsible dad. I am his son, after all..."

The driver chuckled at his tone of disdain and exasperation.

"Then we’ll head to my place now. You’ve been there once before, right?"

Xiao Xiaoang nodded, "Alright, let’s go then! I haven’t seen Su Xiaomeng and Shuangshuang in a long time!"

Yin Shixiu ruffled Xiao Xiaoang’s hair.

The car pulled into the Yin Family estate; this was Xiao Xiaoang’s second time at the Yin Family...

The two got off the car and took the golf cart to the Yin Family Main Garden...

By this time, Su Xiaomeng had already brought Shuangshuang and Huanghuang and was waiting in the main garden...

The two elders of the Yin Family couldn’t sit still after learning that Yin Xiaobao had been mistakenly taken and raised by others and then found again by Xiao Meng and Yin Shixiu...

Just hearing about it felt surreal.

They kept asking, "Is he really your Xiaobao? Really?"

Xiao Meng could only nod again and again...

The car stopped at the Mengqin Garden entrance, and Yin Shixiu got off with Xiao Xiaoang. As soon as Xiao Xiaoang got out and looked up, he saw so many people standing at the door,

"Wow, so many people... I just came to play for a couple of days, no need to be so formal, right?"

He touched his face and said.
