Stay behind to accompany his mother?
Yin Shuiling was in fear as she looked at Yin Muchen. Did he get it wrong?
Yin Muchen did not express it wrong. He said, “Mum, Shuiling, I gotta go.”
He turned around and leave.
Yin Shuiling: “…”
The man left, and the main doors of the villa were closed. Yin Shuiling froze on the spot.
Liu Wanxin was silent for a few seconds before she broke the ice. She said, “Did you know about my existence?”
Yin Shuiling did not expect her to ask this question. Yeah… she heard about Liu Wanxin when she was 8 years old. She heard that Liu Wanxin dumped Yin Muchen and was together with a rich man, and she ran away.
Yin Shuiling glanced at Liu Wanxin. She could see the beauty that this woman had in her younger days even now. Although she was in a wheelchair, her appearance was warm and gentle, and she must have received a good education back then.
Yin Shuiling could confirm that she was not the type who would run away with a rich man.
“I heard about you before… I heard…Yin Muchen say, Muchen said that Aunty, you are a good mother…” Yin Shuiling was smart as she picked good things to say.
Liu Wanxin snorted, “Hmph” It was obvious that she was not won over by Yin Shuiling’s praise, and she asked, “What are you working as right now?”
“I graduated very recently. I have yet to go out to work… I draw comics normally…”
“So my son is providing for you,” Liu Wanxin interrupted her.
Yin Shuiling’s small hands by her sides were frozen. It was not that Liu Wanxin did not like her, but it seemed that she kind of resented her. A woman’s instincts were often very accurate.
She’d just graduated two days ago, and it was true that she did not think of going out to work. She drew comics right now, the money that she earned in a month was what those normal girls earned in an entire year. It was enough for her to spend, and Yin Muchen did specify in the past that he did not allow her to go to work.
Yin Shuiling wanted to explain, but she did not know how to explain. She was living in the Royal Villa, and all of her expenses were definitely paid by Yin Muchen.
Although she was not interested in his money as she had her own.
Yin Shuiling’s eyes were a little red. She tugged the clothes on her sides. She drooped her small head down and did not say a word, just as if she were a student being chided by her teacher.
But she straightened her beautiful back, wanting to retain some dignity.
She hasn’t had a mother for a long time. She also did not have any elders whom she had to respect and be filial to. She was in a daze and did not know how to gain Liu Wanxin’s favour.
It was always others that were trying to gain her favour, and she did not need to go and persuade someone to like her. In the course of her entire life, the only person whom she had to gain the favour of was Yin Muchen.
Liu Wanxin lifted her eyebrows up. It was not that she did not want to speak to Yin Shuiling, but the moment that she thought about the fact that she was Yin De’s daughter, Liu Wanxin felt super uncomfortable.
“Let’s eat dinner then,” Liu Wanxin said.
“Okay.” Xiao Qing pushed the wheelchair into the dining room.
Yin Shuiling froze on the spot. No one welcomed her, and she did not know whether she should go over to have dinner with them. She felt very awkward.
After pondering for a moment, she did not pretend to be coy. She walked over to the dining table on her own.
…..
Both women sat down at the dining table to eat. The helpers served fish and said, “Madam, this is the fish that you love. It is placed by your right hand.”
Yin Shuiling was careful as she peeked at Liu Wanxin. It turned out that she liked to eat fish.
She could not see, so wasn’t she scared of fish bones?
Yin Shuiling stretched her chopsticks out to take the meat from the fish’s stomach. After confirming that there were no bones, she wanted to place it in Liu Wanxin’s bowl.
At this moment, “Godma…” Xiao Qing walked over. She used her chopsticks to take a piece of fish and placed it into Liu Wanxin’s bowl as she said, “Godma, the fish is placed in your bowl. Be careful of fish bones.”
“Okay.” Liu Wanxin had a smile on her face as she ate the fish.
Yin Shuiling’s small hand that was holding onto the chopsticks froze. The fish was still between her chopsticks. She did not know whether to proceed or go back.
At this moment, Xiao Qing had a look at the fish on the plate, smiled, and said, “Godma, Miss Yin probably likes to eat fish. The meat on one side of the fish stomach has already been taken away by Miss Yin.”
Liu Wanxin’s facial expression instantly soured.
If Yin Shuiling could not tell that Xiao Qing was trying to stir up a wedge between them. She would be a fool then. She lifted her gaze up to look at Xiao Qing, and Xiao Qing was also looking at her. Xiao Qing lifted her eyebrows and had a provoking smile on her face.
Yin Shuiling did not say anything. She glanced at Xiao Qing briefly before dropping her gaze, and she placed the fish between her chopsticks into her own mouth. She only cared about eating her own food.
Xiao Qing noticed that Yin Shuiling did not bother with her, and she gritted her teeth in jealousy. Yin Shuiling was not affected by her mocking attitude.
…
After the meal, the unhappy atmosphere in the air was gone. Yin Shuiling stood in the living room, and she looked on as Xiao Qing chatted with Liu Wanxin.
Xiao Qing placed the earpieces in Liu Wanxin’s ears and sweetly said, “Godma, this is a reader device. You are unable to read, but this has someone who will read it for you. With this, you won’t be bored anymore.”
Liu Wanxin listened for a few minutes. There was a bright smile on her face as she said, “This is so convenient… Xiao Qing, there is a book voiced by a small boy. I think he is around two or three years old. His childish voice is so cute. It is so similar to Ah Chen when he was young.”
Xiao Qing covered her mouth as she laughed. “Godma, do you want to carry a grandchild?”
“That’s right.” Liu Wanxin was emotional as she said, “Our Ah Chen is the only son. I have long hoped that he would let me carry a grandchild. A child from Ah Chen would be very good looking.”
As she spoke, Liu Wanxin’s voice turned stiff as she said, “Some people do not go out to work and need my son to provide for them. They have not gotten married with one another, and they are already living with one another. I am not going to say anything about that, but her stomach also has to be good. Don’t keep thinking about playing and going crazy for the entire day; she should give Ah Chen a child quickly.”
Xiao Qing listened to what she said and her entire body turned stiff. Godma was saying…
Liu Wanxin said these words very stiffly, and it was not nice to hear, but she hurried Yin Shuiling to give Yin Muchen a child. That intent was very obvious.
Xiao Qing’s hands and feet were icy cold. Never mind that Godma did not look at Yin Shuiling favourably, but Godma had already silently accepted it.
Yin Shuiling heard the key point of her message, and she reacted very differently from Xiao Qing. Liu Wanxin kept talking about wanting a grandchild, and Yin Shuiling’s face turned pale.
Four years ago, the doctor already said that it would be very hard for her to get pregnant again…
If Liu Wanxin found out about this…
Yin Shuiling roughly knew why Liu Wanxin had a poor impression of her now. It was also right, she was only 21 years old and she was spending a man’s money. She did not have any status and power as she stayed together with a man. It was true that she was very cheap.
At this moment, Liu Wanxin put the earpieces away and said, “Xiao Qing, I am tired now. Let’s go upstairs to sleep.”
“Okay.” Xiao Qing pushed the wheelchair as they headed upstairs.
As the wheelchair brushed past Yin Shuiling’s side, Yin Shuiling went back towards the side, and at this moment, a helper was carrying a bucket of hot water. It was for Liu Wanxin to wash her feet. The helper was not careful and slipped, and the hot water in her hands was overturned in a instant. It flew towards Liu Wanxin.
Liu Wanxin could not see. Xiao Qing saw it because she was standing behind the wheelchair. When the hot water came splashing towards her, she was shocked as she used both of her hands to cup her face before ducking behind the wheelchair.
She dumped Liu Wanxin.
Yin Shuiling also saw it. At the most important instant, she quickly stepped forward and stretched her hand out to push Liu Wanxin’s wheelchair away.
“Sii…” A few drops of hot water dripped onto Yin Shuiling’s hand, and she lifted her eyebrows up in pain.
“Godma, are you okay?” After noticing that the danger was gone, Xiao Qing quickly stood up and flew towards Liu Wanxin’s side. She pretended to be nervous and anxious as she asked, “Godma, were you scalded? Thankfully, I pushed the wheelchair in time.”
Yin Shuiling: “…”
Xiao Qing stood up, pointed at the helper, and chided her loudly, “Oy, what are you doing? If the hot water scalded my Godma, what would you do? Be careful or I will ask my Godma to fire you!”
“Miss Xiao Qing, I did not do it on purpose.” The helper was shocked as she shivered in fear.
“Forget it, Xiao Qing. I am fine.” Liu Wanxin shook her head, and she coughed twice. Her mental status was not too good as she said, “Take me upstairs. I want to rest now.”
“Okay, Godma.”
Liu Wanxini and Xiao Qing left. The helper was cleaning up the mess, and Yin Shuiling looked at the blisters that appeared due to getting scalded. Two were on her wrists, and one was between her fingers. It was not too obvious. She took a breath, before lifting her heels to go upstairs, and she went into a room.
…
She found a needle inside the room. Yin Shuiling sat down on the bed to prick the blister. She was afraid of pain from the start, and when she pricked the blister, her tears flowed down her face. It was so painful.
She placed the needle back and went to take a shower. She lay down on the bed, and Yin Muchen did not return. Her mind was in a mess as she pondered.
Yin Muchen actually had a mother appear out of nowhere.
Then that time when he lied when they were supposed to have a candlelight dinner, and also visiting the elder during the night of New Year’s Eve, did he actually come over to visit his mother? It was fine if he visited her. He could just tell her, so why did he have to lie?
Also, for that Xiao Qing, she thought that Xiao Qing was the woman that Yin Muchen was keeping, and looking at it now, it seemed that she was his younger God sister.
Yin Muchen’s mother liked Xiao Qing very much, but she did not like her.
Yin Shuiling did not suspect that Yin Muchen’s mother would make Yin Muchen have relations with Xiao Qing under the table. Although his mother was both cold and did not like her, his mother also seemed to be educated and would not do these things.
Yin Shuiling suddenly thought of something. Yin Muchen did not have any relations with Xiao Qing. Su Mo, Fang Yuanyuan — what about them?
These four years, the four years that she was not around for, did he have a woman?
Yin Shuiling felt her heart thumping very vigorously. She never thought about this problem, because in the back of her mind, she thought of him as a stallion. What about now?
Could he only have her alone in the past four years?
Yin Shuiling felt that she was thinking foolishly right now.
She suddenly felt that she was thinking too much. His mother did not like her, and she could not get pregnant. Sixth Older Brother was waiting for the accounting record, and there was no possibility between her and him.
They were unable to defeat reality.
Yin Shuiling decided not to think about anything at all, and she closed her eyes as she slept.
…
Yin Muchen came back at nine. He placed his briefcase down and went upstairs, and he headed to Liu Wanxin’s room first.
A light was on in Liu Wanxin’s room. She turned to the side and slept facing the door. Yin Muchen came over to the side of the bed, and he gently asked, “Mum, are you asleep?”
Liu Wanxin opened her eyes and said, “I am not sleeping. I was waiting for you.”
“Waiting for me?”
“Yeah. I knew that you would definitely come back to my room upon your return. You would want to know what I think and ask me if I bullied her today.”
“Mum, you are overthinking it.” Yin Muchen’s eyes were like the stars in the sky, and he denied it.
