Chapter 760 - 575: How Much of a Failure Is She as a Mother? (6000+)_2
Su Xiaomeng also found this quite surprising.
"Isn’t it? He’s dubbed the youngest ’Stock God’, I thought he’d be all high and mighty when I met him... but put him together with Ming Lang, the two men act like fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys, just itching to play."
When Chen Lan said this, there was a hint of envy in his tone,
Su Xiaomeng noticed the change in Chen Lan’s tone and glanced at him, smiling,
"Are you feeling that being young is really great?"
"I think having idle time and still having lots of money is really great..."
Chen Lan sighed, reminiscing about the past...
When President Yin was around, he too was idle with a lot of money.
Now, well, he doesn’t dare to hope for much money, but being idle is absolutely impossible.
Having been with the Yin Family for so long, Chen Lan has always been learning from behind Yin Shixiu. Even if the money wasn’t much, he felt it was worth it, especially since even preschool fees are so expensive now.
Now it’s like, he not only has to be an employee but also a teacher to Su Xiaomeng.
This day, aside from sleeping time, as long as Su Xiaomeng was around, he had to stick to her every second. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"What are you thinking about? You seem to make half the office feel gloomy."
Su Xiaomeng murmured.
"Eh... nothing much."
Su Xiaomeng gave him a glance, "I’m telling you, others can think about changing jobs, but you can’t."
Chen Lan was taken aback, meeting Su Xiaomeng’s slightly serious expression,
"You hold important secrets, out of my sight, if I get uneasy, maybe..."
Su Xiaomeng squinted her eyes, giving a highly threatening look,
"It’s not beyond me to do something like ’silencing with murder’..."
"Oh, I’m so scared!"
Chen Lan thought Su Xiaomeng was going to cut his salary or something!
But then...
Chen Lan cooperated with her words, shrinking his shoulders, acting like he was really scared.
Su Xiaomeng chuckled.
As she smiled, her phone started to ring. Su Xiaomeng glanced at the caller ID, it was Yin Shihua.
Xiaomeng quickly took a sip of water and then answered the call,
"Third Sister, what’s up?"
"Oh, mom and dad say they want to go over to yours to spend Shuangshuang and Huanghuang’s birthday today. I’m calling to check if you have any other plans?"
A sudden "thump"...
Su Xiaomeng quickly asked Chen Lan,
"What’s the date today?"
"Today? It’s the fifteenth, I think."
Chen Lan seemed unsure and checked the calendar on the wall, nodding, "Yeah, it’s the fifteenth."
Su Xiaomeng’s brow furrowed, and she felt a wave of regret in her heart.
"Xiaomeng?"
"Oh, Third Sister, no, no other plans. How do mom and dad plan to celebrate for them?"
"There’s no special plan, mom and dad know you’re busy, so they didn’t plan anything grand. Their idea is probably just to be with Shuangshuang and Huanghuang."
"..."
Listening to Yin Shihua, Su Xiaomeng’s thoughts wandered, remembering Shuangshuang and Huanghuang’s unusual behavior this morning.
"Xiaomeng, do you want to go home early today? Um... I mean, if you’re not that busy, can you go back early to celebrate the kids’ birthday?"
Su Xiaomeng thought,
What a failed mother she is?
Third sister is reminding her of her children’s birthday, hoping she could go back home to be with her kids for their birthday, and even needs to inquire carefully...
"I’ll go home early... Third Sister, there are no special plans today, you take mom and dad over."
"Okay, then I’ll hang up."
"Okay."
Su Xiaomeng replied, and after hanging up, she appeared crestfallen...
She held her forehead, letting out a heavy sigh, sitting on the sofa, and the food before her now seemed tasteless.
"What’s wrong?"
Chen Lan asked, puzzled.
Su Xiaomeng said with deep regret,
"Today is Shuangshuang and Huanghuang’s birthday! I completely forgot!"
"..."
"This morning Shuangshuang even pleaded with me if I could not go to the office today, I said no, and the little girl started crying... why didn’t I think of it at the time?"
Chen Lan blinked,
"How old is Shuangshuang anyway? Can she even know about birthdays?"
"I have my dad! My dad is with the two little ones, can he not know what a birthday is? I bet, as Shuangshuang and Huanghuang get older, my dad would love to teach them stand-up comedy!"
"Pfft..."
Chen Lan quickly covered his mouth.
He had heard from Yin Shixiu before about his father-in-law being quite the character, and since his wife’s big personality traits were inherited from this father-in-law, hearing Su Xiaomeng say it herself was genuinely amusing.
Xiaomeng gave Chen Lan a sideways glance.
