Chapter 94: with translation of chapter title

After a while, her father again said to his still‑shocked wife: "I already said Xiao Yuchun is a good girl, worthy of your friendship, Xiao Xiao. I didn't expect that, now that she's rich, she really hasn't forgotten us, Xiao Xiao."

The elderly couple felt deeply moved.

At the same time, they were also curious just how wealthy Xiao Yuchun's biological father really was.

It was overly generous—such a fine house, given away without even blinking.

"His dad, that's wonderful!" Lin Xiao Xiao's mother, tears welling up, said: "With the house, Hanghang can now attend San Zhong."

"Mom and Dad, although Xiao Yuchun said then that it was her father giving me the betrothal gift in advance, I understand she was just making an excuse so I could accept this house."

"Then Xiao Xiao, what are you thinking?" Lin Xiao Xiao's parents, their mood instantly turning heavy, asked tentatively.

Hehe, but I'm serious." Lin Xiao Xiao said cheerfully: "So,. From now on, you two shouldn't keep nagging me to find a boyfriend, okay?"

"I'm not just that kind of person anymore—look, I've already accepted the betrothal gift."

"From now on, I'll be part of the Yuchun family."

"Hehe…"

Lin Xiao Xiao laughed, laughing genuinely and openly.

……

After dinner, Xiao Ming went to the wine cellar.

He was accustomed to collecting wine, and in his free time he liked to drink a little red wine, which gradually became a small habit of his.

Among these children, Jingrou never causes worry." Recalling how the children first came to know each other, Xiao Ming sighed to himself.

He had thought he would spend his life alone, dying lonely, but he never expected that suddenly these children would appear beside him, giving him such a great surprise in life.

Two daughters and one son—still quite complete.

This made his future life seem to have taken on a different hue.

At this moment, he sincerely thanked Wen Zihan from the bottom of his heart for bearing these children for him.

Unfortunately, however, she…

While Xiao Ming was lost in thought, his phone suddenly rang, and he casually pressed the answer key: "Hello!"

"Hello, may I ask if you are Mr. Xiao Ming?"

A woman's voice came from the phone.

"It's me. Who are you?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao."

A woman's voice came from the phone; the woman spoke solemnly: "Mr. Xiao, hello, my name is Yan Bingyue, I am a representative of Five Star State Aviation Technology Company. I don't know if you have time, Mr. Xiao—I'd like to invite you to a meal, if that's alright?"

Xiao Ming heard this and subconsciously furrowed his brows.

Not many people know this number—just his few children, Xie Lingyu, and a few of his close aides.

Yan Bingyue called his personal line, so it seems the other party is someone formidable.

He naturally knew of Five Star State Aviation Technology Company; as the largest shareholder of AT Aviation Technology Company, how could he not have some understanding of this industry?

This aviation technology company has received great attention from the state.

As for why this person is contacting him, no need to think—it's obvious, but it's strange that they chose to call him at midnight.

He paused, then replied: "I'll be free in two days."

"All right, I've already booked a restaurant; I'll send the address to your phone shortly. Mr. Xiao, I won't disturb you further—we'll meet as planned." After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yan Bingyue and Xiao Ming ended the call.

"It's interesting that they only got in touch now." Xiao Ming looked at the address sent to his phone and smiled.

Afterward, he turned off his phone and stopped thinking about it.

Secondly, the reason for contacting her will become clear once they meet.

He took out a bottle of red wine, drank a glass, enjoyed a moment of solitary quiet, then returned to the living room.

Xiao Yuchun and Xiao Jingrou were at that moment happily discussing, phones in hand, which brand of cosmetics works best.

"Dad, Lingyu sister just called me and said she's contacted several big names in the fashion world and plans to take me to meet them tomorrow." Seeing Xiao Ming appear, Xiao Jingrou happily said to him.

"Sure, go broaden your horizons—that's good." Xiao Ming nodded in agreement.

"Jingrou, you must absolutely not be bought off by Xie Lingyu—I'm telling you, I only accept Xiao Xiao as my father's woman."

Xiao Jingrou heard this and directly laughed: "What about Lingyu sister? I think she's quite nice."

"Then I don't care." Xiao Yuchun pouted unhappily, turned her head, and kept looking at her phone.

"Hey, brother?"

Xiao Jingrou's phone rang, and she stopped talking to Xiao Yuchun; after answering, she startled and suddenly sprang to her feet.

"A car accident? Did you have a car accident?"

Xiao Ming beside her heard this, instantly panicked, and rushed over to ask anxiously: "A car accident? Did Yunzhe have a car accident?"

Xiao Ming's heart leapt into his throat.

Xiao Yuchun was also frightened; the color drained from her small face as she worriedly stared at Xiao Jingrou, still on the phone, not daring to breathe.

"Don't rush, speak slowly."

Finally, Xiao Jingrou figured out what was going on, she let out a heavy sigh of relief; seeing this, Xiao Ming and Xiao Yuchun beside her also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad, sis, don't worry, it's nothing serious."

Hearing Xiao Jingrou say that, Xiao Ming and Xiao Yuchun once again breathed a sigh of relief.

After learning what had happened, Xiao Ming spoke with a hint of anger: "That little brat, I'd already warned him, yet he still went out and caused trouble."

It turned out that after finishing his meal, Xiao Yunzhe made the excuse that he wanted to go see Geng Jing Shu, then took the Hennessey that Xiao Ming had given him for a joyride—only to end up in an accident.

But the exact circumstances, Xiao Ming still hasn't figured them out.

"Hand me the phone." After learning his son had no safety issues, Xiao Ming, angry, wanted to give this disobedient son a good scolding.

Fortunately, the car he gave Xiao Yunzhe is well equipped in every respect; unless it's a very serious accident, it normally wouldn't pose major safety problems.

"Dad, don't get angry first." Xiao Jingrou hurried forward to soothe her father, smiling and said: "Dad, I feel you're being too strict with my brother."

"Is there?" Xiao Yuchun, however, disagreed, saying: "Dad is doing it for your brother's own good; you know his temperament, if we aren't strict, he'll surely cause trouble."

Xiao Yuchun firmly stood united with Xiao Ming.

"Dad, my brother got into trouble; he didn't call you first, but called me instead, asking me to tell you— isn't it just because he's worried you'll get angry and blame him?"

Xiao Jingrou helplessly explained to Xiao Ming: "He said, actually this matter isn't his fault; someone else was tailing him."

"Someone was tailing him?"
