"Grandma, it wasn’t me who deleted Mom’s WeChat; Dad told me to do it... Boo hoo, Shuangshuang is very obedient, feeling so wronged... Boo hoo boo hoo..."

"..."

Dad... Yin Shixiu...

Su Xiaomeng hadn’t considered this possibility, but... Yin Shixiu isn’t Shuangshuang, how could he do something so tactless?

However...

Su Xiaomeng frowned as she watched Shuangshuang complaining to Zhou Mengqin. This little brat has become astute, hasn’t she? Saying she’s very obedient, she first praised herself quite a bit, then deftly shifted the blame to Yin Shixiu... clean and efficient, without any dirt sticking.

Impressive...

"Yin Jinxi, come over here immediately. Hiding with your grandpa and grandma won’t work! You better explain things clearly! If I find you’re lying again, I won’t let you off today!"

"Grandma... Mom is really fierce... Boo hoo... Boo hoo boo hoo..."

Shuangshuang isn’t foolish. If she had to talk, she couldn’t willingly approach that cane to say it. Right now, Mom’s mental state is extremely unstable. If she says something wrong, Mom might instinctively whip her, hiss...

Thinking of this, Shuangshuang shivered and cried even harder.

Zhou Mengqin felt her heart aching from the little girl’s cries and quickly said to Su Xiaomeng, "Meng Meng, put down the cane first. The child is so scared. Whatever’s going on, we can sit down and talk it out clearly. Shuangshuang is so good, she will surely tell the truth."

"Just now she stubbornly denied doing it herself, but now she’s started to recall it was her. And without hesitation, she’s shifting the blame! Yin Jinxi, you’re really something!"

Su Xiaomeng tossed the cane aside, leaned on the sofa with her arms crossed, "I won’t hit you, just speak clearly!"

Shuangshuang sniffled, wiped her tears, and cried, "I, I’ll put down my backpack first, it’s so heavy..."

"..."

Su Xiaomeng took a deep breath, holding back the impulse to sever the mother-daughter relationship with the little girl.

Ah Su rushed over to take Shuangshuang’s backpack, and Shuangshuang politely spoke to Ah Su, "Thank you, Aunt Susu."

Ah Su’s heart softened... She stroked Shuangshuang’s head and whispered, "Whatever Mom asks next, answer honestly, don’t lie and make Mom angry again."

Shuangshuang nodded.

Ah Su took the backpack away, and Zhou Mengqin led Shuangshuang to sit on a nearby chair. This gesture of grandma supporting her from behind really left Su Xiaomeng feeling helpless.

Su Xiaomeng maintained a cold face, staring intently at Shuangshuang.

Shuangshuang rubbed her nose, and Xiaomeng thought she was about to speak, but instead she said, "I want a tissue to wipe my tears and nose, my face feels uncomfortable."

"Yin Jinxi! Don’t you ever stop! A tissue won’t help; if you don’t explain clearly, you’ll be the one crying later!"

Su Xiaomeng’s patience was completely exhausted by Shuangshuang!

Yin Jinxi shuddered slightly and had to turn and rub her tears and snot on grandma’s sleeve, then said, "Um, it’s just that Dad said you shouldn’t go out to dinner with young and handsome men, so he told me to delete the WeChat, and also delete that young and handsome brother."

After all, she’s just a kid. She couldn’t narrate the situation completely; she could only explain to Su Xiaomeng based on her own feelings and understanding.

Shuangshuang spoke the core, no doubt.

Because Yin Shixiu meant just that, and Shuangshuang supported her father.

But the little girl didn’t realize the content of that WeChat; she merely read out a few words she knew to Dad, leading to Yin Shixiu’s misunderstanding due to this out-of-context interpretation.

After she finished saying this, Su Xiaomeng was dumbfounded. She knew... Shuangshuang couldn’t come up with such an idea on her own, just like before when she asked if Xiaomeng had a lover...

Yin Shixiu naturally wouldn’t ask like that, but he did subtly give Shuangshuang hints. It was indeed him who asked Shuangshuang to keep an eye on her...

With everything put together, Su Xiaomeng felt her heart suddenly chilled half over...

He can stay in a hotel discussing "business" with a beautiful, sexy, mature woman and allow her to leave lipstick marks on his shirt collar. He can let other women answer his private calls... But she can’t attend a welcome dinner hosted by a colleague?

What is... the reasoning behind this?

While he can skip returning home, he still extends his hand from London to Beijing, using their daughter to interfere with her social life.

He can constantly engage in social gatherings for work, yet she can’t even greet new colleagues or familiarize with them?

This kind of "prohibition" was not decided through discussion, but by highly unscrupulous methods! Deleting the colleague’s WeChat sent to her, even directly deleting the colleague...

Yin Shixiu, you not only set the bar for privilege without considering others, you truly have shown... love for me...

Su Xiaomeng had lost all anger at that moment because her heart was cold, and her blood no longer boiled, leaving only numbness in her limbs.

Things didn’t end there, as Su Xiaomeng had her own thoughts, while the two elders... developed other thoughts upon hearing Shuangshuang’s words.

The silence in the living room was broken by Zhou Mengqin softly, "Meng Meng, this young and handsome man... is there really such a person?"

Su Xiaomeng returned to herself and looked at Zhou Mengqin, understanding that Zhou Mengqin might not mean harm, but she’s simply... curious, simply... wondering, simply... a little worried...

She knew, yet at this moment Su Xiaomeng felt the question was... very piercing.

"Mom, you should be concerned about Yin Shixiu interfering with my privacy, asking Shuangshuang to privately delete messages others sent me, deleting friends from my contact list. His actions... aren’t a matter of excess. Instead of wondering who that person is..."

Su Xiaomeng said calmly.

Zhou Mengqin was taken aback by Su Xiaomeng’s rebuttal; although Su Xiaomeng’s tone was polite, in such a tense atmosphere, everyone was sensitive, and she immediately said,

"Meng Meng, no matter who that person is, Yin Shixiu has no right to do this, it’s excessive! But... if..."

Zhou Mengqin wanted to continue, but Yin Shaohui interrupted her.

Yin Shaohui stopped the conversation, but not stopping made it even more uncomfortable...

Su Xiaomeng was well aware of what Zhou Mengqin intended to say if she continued...

She could refuse to explain, could sulk and let the elders keep guessing, but... the two kids were expectantly watching her. You might think they don’t understand, but perhaps they do, given those looks...

Su Xiaomeng truly appreciated Yin Shixiu from the bottom of her heart; even when absent, he could keep this whole family defending him wholeheartedly.

"The person is a professor at the Foreign Language College named Chi Lun, if Professor Qi often chats with you, he should mention this person." Su Xiaomeng told Zhou Mengqin, "I’m his assistant, the department’s professors and lecturers wanted to organize a welcome dinner for me, and he invited me. If Dad and Mom have questions, you can directly call Professor Qi Jun for inquiries; he knows the whole story."
