Chapter 261: Chapter 261: There’s a Problem…
Sheng Family mansion.
When Yin Hehe arrived with her friend, her elder brother, and Aunt Jinxiu at the mansion’s grand entrance.
She saw an elderly man with white hair and a cane already waiting there.
His gaze wandered frequently, his hunched back visibly more stooped than before she left.
“We’re here.”
Sheng Siyuan saw him too.
Pulling the car up to the doorstep, he stopped.
From the car, Yin Hehe only saw the old man’s eyes light up, and with his cane, he imdiately started walking unsteadily down from the entrance.
“Youyou, wake up, we’re at Grandpa’s house,” Yin Hehe quickly roused the child.
Then, the mother and daughter got out.
“My child, you’re finally back.”
The old man with a head full of silver hair stood in front of her, his first words filled with such emotion that tears shimred in his tired eyes.
Yin Hehe suddenly felt very ashad.
She regretted that she had even doubted this old man’s attitude.
“Yes, I’ve returned, Dad.”
“Ah!” The patriarch imdiately responded crisply, raising his sleeve to wipe the corner of his eye.
“It’s good that you’re back. Last ti you ca, there was so much going on, we didn’t get a chance to talk properly. You’re not mad at Dad, are you?”
He even ntioned the last ti Yin Hehe had returned for the old lady’s funeral.
Yin Hehe quickly shook her head, “Of course not, I should have notified you. Dad, about Mom, I…”
“That’s not your fault.” As if guessing what Yin Hehe was about to say, the old Sheng patriarch interrupted her by raising his hand.
“That she went down this path was entirely her own doing. From now on, don’t take the bla upon yourself, understand?”
“…Thank you, Dad.”
The conversation had reached this point.
Beyond imnse gratitude, Yin Hehe found herself without additional words to express.
At that mont, everyone happily entered the old mansion, and by then, the old patriarch had already ordered the house staff to prepare a lavish spread of food.
“Hehe, today I’ve finally seen what a wealthy family mansion is like, damn! That tree, Song Wenjing actually told
it’s worth millions.”
The quiet estate suddenly bustled with activity again, with Caicai being the noisiest of all. She wandered around as soon as she arrived, like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Yin Hehe was sowhat amused.
“Don’t listen to his nonsense, it’s just an ordinary tree.”
“Golden Phoebe wood is an ordinary tree?” The woman beside her exclaid, eyes wide in astonishnt.
Cough cough cough…
Yin Hehe felt a bit embarrassed.
Without paying her further mind, Yin Hehe turned and headed to the kitchen to prepare so dishes her two sons, who were due to arrive soon, liked to eat.
But just as she took the fresh at out of the refrigerator.
Suddenly, she realized she had forgotten what she was about to do.
“Mada, what’s wrong? Are you missing so ingredients for the char siu?”
Fortunately, a servant was in the kitchen and upon seeing her suddenly motionless, ca over to ask with concern.
Yin Hehe then shook her head, “No, we have enough ingredients.”
She shook her head to clear it and began seasoning the pork for char siu.
She must be too tired.
Thinking this, she didn’t dwell on the matter.
But after dinner, when she took her daughter to the restroom and Little Bun asked her to fetch so tissues,
She turned to leave and found that she forgot what she was about to do again?
“Mommy, hurry and get the tissues. Youyou has finished and wants to go eat the big drumsticks quickly, otherwise, the brothers will eat them all,” Little Bun urged her sweetly from inside the restroom.
Only then did Yin Hehe pause, slapped her forehead, and went to bring back tissues from the living room.
She must be really tired today, traveling all the way from Y City to Jiangbei, with only two hours of rest on the plane.
It seems she should visit the Drug Rehabilitation Center sooner.
Yin Hehe returned to the restaurant.
Fortunately, everyone rembered that she still had to go to the Drug Rehabilitation Center, so they hurried to finish their als and all went back.
“Hehe, we’ll visit you at the Drug Rehabilitation Center tomorrow, okay?”
When parting, they didn’t forget to tell Yin Hehe they would see her again tomorrow.
Yin Hehe mustered up her spirits and nodded.
As she watched them leave, Yin Hehe tiredly rubbed her swollen temples, and Sheng Siyuan approached to support her.
“When is the doctor coming?”
“Should be soon,” she leaned on his shoulder.
In just that brief mont, she nearly fell asleep, her steps faltering.
In the end, it was this man who carried her back.
And when she returned to the mansion, she indeed fell asleep in this man’s arms.
“This…”
The Sheng family patriarch was surprised to see her fall asleep so quickly, completely out of touch with her surroundings.
But Sheng Siyuan wasn’t surprised at all.
“Don’t worry, she’d often fall asleep several tis a day like this at the Drug Rehabilitation Center. Those treatnts are very draining,” he explained.
Of course, his eyes looking at the woman he placed on the sofa were full of tenderness.
Not long after, the people from the Drug Rehabilitation Center indeed arrived.
“Her condition is indeed normal, rest assured. Dr. Qin has already instructed us; after returning, we will take good care of her,” the doctor said amicably.
Seeing this, Sheng Siyuan’s heart eased even more.
Having had a tiring day, Sheng Siyuan also prepared to take a shower after returning to Shengfei Bay with the three children, but Xu Guannan called.
“President, I’ve just learned sothing. That Xiahou Yi… he actually ca to Jiangbei to pay respects to the old lady.”
“What did you say?”
The man who had just undone two buttons of his collar, upon hearing this news, stood motionless before the mirror.
“Pay respects?”
“Yes, soone saw it with their own eyes. They said he stayed at the old lady’s grave for about twenty minutes before leaving,” Xu Guannan sent over a photo.
The man heard this and put down his phone.
Indeed, he opened the photo and imdiately saw the figure standing at his mother’s grave – the sa elder he had recently t in Chongzhou.
Why would he co to pay respects to Sheng Siyuan’s mother?
The man’s mind filled with questions he’d never had before.
After hanging up the phone, he thought for a mont, picked up the jacket he just took off, and left the house again.
He had to get to the bottom of this!
—
Drug Rehabilitation Center.
When Yin Hehe woke up again, it was already deep into the night. Gazing at the unfamiliar ward, it took her a mont to realize where she was.
Is this?
“Yin Hehe, you’re awake. How do you feel?”
Surprisingly, there was a nurse in the ward specially watching over her, who imdiately approached her bed as soon as she woke up.
Yin Hehe was taken aback for a split second.
“I’m fine, is this… the Drug Rehabilitation Center?”
“Yes, when we brought you back, you were asleep, so we haven’t administered your dication yet. Since you’re awake now, I’ll give you the injection,” the nurse said, picking up the syringe from the tray beside her.
Yin Hehe saw it and, for so reason, suddenly felt a bit resistant.
“Nurse, can I… get the injection tomorrow instead?”
“No, you haven’t had your injection all day, now you must have it!” The nurse reached for her arm with the syringe.
