Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ai Wei was personally sent back by Shen Xiaoxiao. Naturally, Huang Yueyan did not have much to learn from Ai Wei. After a few words of nagging, she began to care about his injuries. It could be seen that Huang Yueyan was really sincere about Ai Wei.
“Aiyo, my babies, let G.o.dmother look at you. You’ve grown so big. Look at your calves, they’re so strong.”
“Mommy, let me carry them. Let me carry them.”
“Da Bao, you’re still too young. You can’t carry your younger brothers. When you’re older, you’ll be able to carry him. You can stand here and look at them.”
Looking at the two children’s curious expressions, Shen Xiaoxiao put the children back into the crib and let the two children take a good look.
“How are you? How’s your recovery?”
“I’m already done with labor, so of course I’m fine. How about you? Are you okay?”
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine, 19 and Old Man Yao are both studying it. There’s always a way. Oh right, put this on the two children. It has the latest global positioning system, but it’s updated at all times. It doesn’t hurt the children, and it’s light. Da Bao and Little Treasure are both wearing it.”
Shen Xiaoxiao had specially asked 19 to prepare a necklace that was similar to the one on her neck. Not only did Da Bao and Little Treasure have it, but Yueyan’s two children had also had it prepared. This gift was pleasing to the eye.
“This thing is good, but you can’t take it off after wearing it, right? Look at yours.”
“I couldn’t blow up the equipment back then, so of course I can’t take it off. But it’s no big deal. They can take it off after they turn 18. I’ll give you all the equipment. What are you worried about?”
“That’s good. Otherwise, when they’re 18 years old and still wearing this, they’ll think I’m spying on them.”
“Alright, you. There are four children of Moxing. They’re all the same.”
Shen Xiaoxiao had never been stingy with children. This time, she gave out the shares of Moxing. The four children were exactly the same, which made Huang Yueyan smile happily.
“Thank you, G.o.dmother. You are so generous. Boss Shen is really different.”
Shen Xiaoxiao and Huang Yueyan’s friends.h.i.+p did not need to be bothered about these things. Shen Xiaoxiao was a little tired. Huang Yueyan saw it and did not dare to delay. She said to her, “You go and rest for a while. I will watch the children. The person you want to see will come at night.”
“Alright, then I’ll go and rest for a while. Help me keep an eye on the children.”
After flying for more than five hours in a row, Shen Xiaoxiao’s energy was no longer what it used to be. Naturally, she was very tired. Therefore, she did not put on airs and went back to her room to rest after saying goodbye to the children.
The two children were extremely curious when they saw their younger brothers. They could not be bothered with Shen Xiaoxiao at all. Therefore, Shen Xiaoxiao just smiled helplessly and walked out. The person she wanted to see at night… This was another difficult negotiation.
…
“Is the appet.i.te of people with muscle weakness really that big?”
“Every patient is different, and the complications they show are also different. Some patients will indeed increase their appet.i.te, and some patients will show it in other places.”
“What about this medicine? What is it?”
“This is a medicinal herb in Chinese traditional medicine called Tamarind. It is indeed a good medicine to treat muscle weakness. However, like the hundred-year-old ginseng, it is getting rarer and rarer. Mr. Long must have spent a lot of effort to get this one.”
The doctor put on a happy expression. When he saw the greedy gaze on Banxia, Long Xi finally relaxed and asked the doctor to leave.
Then, there was a second and a third. After saying the same thing, Long Xi was finally convinced that this thing was really a medicine to treat muscle weakness. It was even harder to find than the hundred-year-old ginseng. It was no wonder that Ai Wei and the others were so concerned about it. After all, they were not in their line of work. They always made a big fuss about important items. Instead, they had alerted the enemy.
Since he had this thing in his hands, then he would have one more bargaining chip to make a deal with Shen Xiaoxiao.
‘Xiaoxiao, I told you that one day you would have to beg me.’
…
Shen Xiaoxiao’s appet.i.te surprised Ai Wei, but everyone else seemed to be used to it, including Huang Yueyan.
Huang Yueyan even lost her temper at Ai Wei. “Can’t you eat properly? Why are you staring at her without moving?”
“Sister Weiwei, are you pregnant? You’re eating so much.”
“Even eating can’t stop your mouth. Can’t you eat more when you’re in a good mood? I like to eat when I’m in a bad mood.”
“The food here is very good. My appet.i.te is really good.”
Although Ai Wei still felt that this reason was a little far-fetched, he didn’t say anything more. Even if he had questions, he wouldn’t ask them in front of the two children. He still had this look in his eyes.
After eating, Ai Wei brought the children to play while Shen Xiaoxiao followed Huang Yueyan to the study.
In less than ten minutes, they heard a knock on the door just as they finished making tea.
“Director Huang, they’re here.”
“Got it. You can go down first.”
Shen Xiaoxiao slowly raised her head and looked at the extremely ordinary couple who walked in from the door. They were in their fifties and dressed normally. Their clothes were also clean and tidy. However, they were not very energetic and were even a little nervous.
“Sit down. Don’t stand there. You guys know each other, right? I don’t need to introduce you.”
Shen Xiaoxiao nodded at the two of them and said, “Long time no see. I should call you Ms. Huo.”
“Whatever. You can call me whatever you want.”
The two of them were none other than the former madam of the Ouyang family, Huo Wanting, and her infatuated housekeeper, Liu He.
“Ms. Huang, and Ms. Shen, what exactly do you want to know? We have nothing to do with the Ouyang family anymore. We just want to live a normal life.”
“Liu He, don’t be like this. Yueyan must be looking for us for something. She won’t make things difficult for us, right, Yueyan?”
Huang Yueyan looked at the woman who had indirectly killed her mother. Her feelings were extremely complicated. She had seduced Huang Youde and caused Huo Wanyi to die of depression. Even if she didn’t do it directly, there was definitely a reason for it.
However, Huo Wanting had been sincere in protecting her all those years. After all, without her, she wouldn’t have been able to gain a foothold in the Huang Corporation.
Therefore, no matter how ruthless Huang Yueyan was, she had spared Huo Wanting’s life.
“I’m just asking some questions. I’ll let you go after I understand the situation. I’ll do what I promised you.”
Hearing Huang Yueyan’s promise, Huo Wanting secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She believed in her niece’s promise. She could tell that Huang Yueyan had not attacked her and her children after the Ouyang family’s fall.
Liu He also heaved a sigh of relief. They had been so well-hidden, but they had been found. Naturally, he was nervous.
However, since Huo Wanting believed in her, he naturally had nothing to say.
When he heard Huang Yueyan say that Huo Wanting had given Banxia to her, Shen Xiaoxiao had already sent people to look for them. Naturally, there was no one in the Dark Empire who could not be found. It just so happened that the place where they were hiding was not far from where Huang Yueyan was, so… She simply brought her children over.
“Why do you have Banxia?”
