Chapter 549: Accompanying
After leaving Huang Xiaochuan's house, Yu Min asked Yue Zhiyuan in the taxi, "What did you and Huang Xiaochuan talk about?"
Holding his sleeping son, Yue Zhiyuan replied, half-teasingly and half-reproachfully, "You called him brother-in-law at his house, but behind his back you call him by his name. Yu Min, let me tell you, this kind of behavior is seriously hypocritical."
Yu Min glared at Yue Zhiyuan angrily: "You men are all the same, you all turn bad as soon as you have money."
Yue Zhiyuan knew what Yu Min meant by those words, so he cautioned her, "Let me tell you, don't meddle in this. I think my sister and brother-in-law are doing quite well now, and besides, it's all in the past. But I don't think my brother-in-law would do anything to betray my sister."
Yu Min, however, looked disdainful: "You can know a person's face but not their heart. Do you think his two sons outside were born from stones? If I weren't worried about my eldest sister, I would have already fallen out with that Huang guy."
Yue Zhiyuan was displeased: "Look at you, here you go again. I've already told you this is a matter between my eldest sister and brother-in-law, don't get involved. Besides, didn't Mom also tell you not to mention this?"
Yu Min said angrily, "It's weird. My parents have always treated this guy surnamed Huang like their own son. If he comes to my house, I have to stand aside."
Yue Zhiyuan shared the same opinion as his parents-in-law: "Think about it carefully. Do you think our parents have a better eye for people than you do? I think my eldest sister's wife is great. She's incredibly good to her family. I admire her."
Yu Min rolled her eyes at Yue Zhiyuan unhappily: "Look at your pathetic self. You were bought off with just a packet of tea. If this were wartime, you would definitely be a traitor."
These words left Yue Zhiyuan speechless, feeling that there was no point in continuing the argument, so he simply shut his mouth.
The next morning, Huang Xiaochuan was woken up by his mischievous daughter. The little girl had somehow gotten hold of a goose feather, and she was using it to tickle the soles of her father's feet.
Huang Xiaochuan was half asleep when he felt a little itchy on his foot, so he rubbed it with his other foot. After feeling a bit better, he went back to sleep.
Unexpectedly, my feet started itching again shortly afterward, and this time the itching was even worse.
He immediately sat up in bed, pulled his feet back to see what was going on, and saw the little girl laughing so hard she was bent over. Seeing this, how could Huang Xiaochuan not know what was going on!
Enraged, he grabbed a pillow and pretended to throw it at the little girl. The little girl was very clever; seeing that things were going wrong, she quickly ran out of the bedroom. A little while later, she quietly peeked her head out of the door to see if her father had gotten up yet.
Huang Xiaochuan talked with Yue Zhiyuan until quite late last night, and he was also quite tired after returning from Singapore yesterday. After shooing the little girl out, he lay down again.
The little girl started mocking her father when she saw him lying in bed.
"Dad, you lazybones! The sun's already high in the sky and you still won't get up!"
He kept repeating this sentence, making Huang Xiaochuan's head ache.
"What's the point of sleeping now?!" Huang Xiaochuan had no choice but to get up.
He asked the little girl, "Where are your mom and brother?"
The little girl smacked her lips and said, "Mommy went to work, and brother is eating breakfast. I came to call you to eat breakfast."
Huang Xiaochuan praised the little girl, "Xiao Duo is really great!"
That's how you raise children. No matter how naughty a child is, as long as their intentions are good, you should praise them and encourage them.
When Huang Xiaochuan finished washing up and came to the first-floor restaurant, his son had already eaten breakfast and was now engrossed in a game of chess.
Huang Zeji learned to play chess at a young age because of his grandfather and maternal grandfather. The two old men would either play golf or chess together, so when they were at home, they would teach Huang Zeji chess rules such as the horse moves in an L-shape and the bishop moves diagonally while playing chess. Over time, Huang Zeji actually developed a liking for chess, and now he can play a few games with his grandfather or maternal grandfather quite well, and he has won many times.
Huang Xiaochuan walked over to his son and watched him for a while, then praised him, "Son, not bad! How about Dad plays a couple of games with you sometime?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Zeji immediately looked up with delight and tugged at Huang Xiaochuan's sleeve, pleading, "Dad, will you play a couple of games of chess with me now?"
Huang Xiaochuan was now in an awkward position. He had promised his father that morning that he would accompany him to see Huang Yanguang, but he couldn't ignore his son's request. He squatted down and discussed with Huang Zeji, "Son, Dad has some errands to run today, and I don't think I have any plans for tomorrow. How about I play chess with you tomorrow?"
Before Huang Zeji could even say anything, the little girl rushed over, her face beaming with excitement: "Daddy, will you take me to the zoo tomorrow?"
Huang Xiaochuan was speechless. This girl was everywhere.
Huang Xiaochuan could only point outside and make an excuse: "Look how bright the sun is outside. Even the animals at the zoo get hot. How about we go to the zoo when the weather cools down?"
Unexpectedly, the little girl argued confidently, "Hippopotamuses, zebras, and antelopes aren't afraid of the heat. They all come from Africa, where it's much hotter than here."
Huang Xiaochuan was taken aback: "How did you know?"
The little girl pointed at the TV: "That's what they say on Animal World!"
Well! This little girl isn't easy to fool. Huang Xiaochuan had no choice but to agree to go to the zoo in the morning and play chess with Huang Zeji in the afternoon. Huang Zeji naturally wouldn't object. For him, being able to go to the zoo and have someone to play chess with was simply too good to be true!
At ten o'clock, Huang Xiaochuan brought his two children to his parents' house. His sister-in-law, Jiang Rong, was also on summer vacation, so it was a good opportunity for the three children to play together. With his sister-in-law helping to take care of them, it saved Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Xiang a lot of trouble.
Old Huang was already prepared. Upon seeing his son, he asked, "When are we going over?"
At this moment, Zeng Lijuan complained to Huang Xiaochuan, "It's just meeting a distant relative, but look at your dad, he's acting like he's going to meet a national leader, he's even tied his tie up."
As soon as Huang Xiaochuan entered, he saw that Old Huang was wearing dress pants and leather shoes, a brand new short-sleeved white shirt, and a Brioni blue tie that Huang Xiaochuan had bought for him. His hair was also neatly styled.
Upon seeing his father's attire, Huang Xiaochuan laughed and said, "Dad, you don't look like you're going to meet someone; you look like you're going on a blind date!"
Upon hearing that his son dared to make fun of him, Old Huang glared angrily at Huang Xiaochuan, while Zeng Lijuan also slapped her son in anger.
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Huang Xiaochuan then said to Jiang Rong, "Sister-in-law, we'll leave the two children at home. Please take care of them."
Jiang Rong replied, "You all go about your business. Leave the child to me, don't worry!"
The two little ones had already started playing with Huang Zemian, but the family dog had disappeared. It was mainly because it was scared when it saw the little devil coming and hid. The puppy was only a little over a year old and was the son of Da Gun and Qing Qing. They brought him to Huang Zemian's place when he was two months old. He had been tormented by the little devil a lot and had developed a psychological trauma.
Seeing that it was almost time, Huang Xiaochuan took his parents to the hotel.
