Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting

Chapter 1117 - 724: The Seven-Year Itch (7)_3

"Eh? What’s wrong, Shuang’er?"

Shuangshuang was sitting on Great-Grandpa’s lap, and Bai Fengmao noticed her disappointment immediately.

Shuangshuang was quite straightforward and explained right away, looking very crestfallen,

"Shuangshuang... is very poor... no money..."

"Oh dear... hahaha! Little girl, Great-Grandpa is already so happy to see you! No need to buy things for Great-Grandpa!"

"Really?"

Shuangshuang quickly straightened up and asked.

Great-Grandpa nodded.

Prince Huang glanced at his sister, squatted down, and closed his suitcase, muttering as he did,

"Obviously spent all the money on food, now there’s no money left..."

His voice wasn’t loud, but the guilty Shuangshuang still heard it, and so did Su Xiaomeng who was nearby.

Shuangshuang’s ears turned red, and the next moment she covered Bai Fengmao’s ears.

Bai Fengmao hadn’t heard Prince Huang’s muttering, and looked at Shuangshuang, unconsciously bursting into laughter,

"What are you doing?"

"Shuangshuang hasn’t seen Great-Grandpa for a long time and wants to look at Great-Grandpa a lot!"

Her words made Bai Fengmao laugh nonstop.

Su Xiaomeng tidied up the luggage a bit, only took out clothes for the next two days, and planned to take the rest to Yin Mansion.

Seeing Yin Shixiu’s clothes in the suitcase, Su Xiaomeng still felt a bit blocked in her heart.

Just then, Yin Shixiu’s call came in...

Xiao Meng swiped to answer...

"Are you home yet? Why didn’t you send me a message after landing?"

Su Xiaomeng pursed her lips,

"You’re so busy, I didn’t want to bother you?"

"..."

There was a pause on the other side, and after saying this, Su Xiaomeng felt that her tone might really carry too much resentment, just like her father said.

Taking a deep breath, she asked again,

"Have you finished your work?"

"The product from the research project our company participated in has passed all the tests. Collaborators from China, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Russia have all come to London, and regarding the product use and—"

"All right, I get it. So, in short, you can’t come back in a short time, right?"

"..."

The silence on the other end was expected by Su Xiaomeng.

Maybe this is not too bad because she knows him well, and also understands that only something really important could make him turn back because of a phone call.

For something so important, how can you expect him to solve it in a short time?

"Meng Meng... I’m just doing what I really want to do."

Su Xiaomeng chuckled lightly,

"You’ve always been doing what you really want to do; I’ve never stopped you."

Taking a deep breath,

"Mom and Dad picked me up at the airport, and we’re all home with the kids. Don’t worry. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now."

Su Xiaomeng finished speaking, and without waiting for any response from the other end, she guessed that Yin Shixiu wouldn’t have anything else to say, so she was about to move her hand to the hang-up button when Yin Shixiu’s voice came again,

"Our issues... once I’m done with this project, we’ll talk face-to-face and solve them, okay?"

Su Xiaomeng took a deep breath, didn’t respond, and hung up the phone.

Looking at the suitcase containing his clothes, after a long while, she said angrily,

"Our issue... is really your issue! ’After you’re done, after you’re done’... Fine, go ahead and be busy!"

Su Xiaomeng got up, sat by the bed, rubbed her forehead, and lay down.

Beijing... is really hot.

After a day, Xiao Meng took Shuangshuang and Huang Huang back to Yin Mansion.

The siblings transferred to Beijing Zijing Primary School. The transfer procedures were nothing the two seniors were worried about, as solving problems for these two was really just a phone call away, with someone taking care of everything.

It had been more than half a year since the two seniors last saw their grandchildren. When Shuangshuang and Huang Huang went to register at primary school, the grandparents insisted on going with them personally.

Su Xiaomeng had arranged to meet Professor Qi Jun at Beijing Foreign Studies University; she also needed to familiarize herself with the university environment.

In fact, after completing her master’s in Bath, she had invitations not only from Beijing Foreign Studies University but also from A University.

Perhaps because of a certain awe in her heart towards Professor Qi Jun, and also because... she didn’t complete her four-year undergraduate at A University, and in terms of linguistic professionalism, Su Xiaomeng felt Beijing Foreign Studies University might be stronger.

She ultimately chose Beijing Foreign Studies University.

Even though A University... actually felt more intimate to her, with more memories.

She was an A University student, Yin Meng was her best friend, her cousin Su Jin was also an A University graduate, her elder cousin was also from A University, and Shan Minglang...

Speaking of which, the fate between her and Yin Shixiu also started at A University.
