Yin Shaoqun heard Yin Shixiu say this and couldn’t help but smile."Auntie, is something on your mind? You’re suddenly in such a hurry..."
Yin Shaoqun sat on a bench nearby, resting one hand on the back of the bench,
"Actually... there’s nothing much on my mind..."
"Then there must be something."
Yin Shaoqun suddenly smiled again, her affectionate gaze falling on Yin Shixiu,
"You... you’ve always been sharper than Shi Lan and Shi Hua since you were a child. But if Shi Xun were still alive, you two would truly be neck and neck."
"Oh, auntie, don’t say that. When it comes to sharpness, I can’t compare to third brother. He was like a monkey spirit that jumped out from a stone."
"Haha!"
Yin Shaoqun laughed heartily. In this family, perhaps only this aunt and nephew pair could talk about the Yin family’s third who killed himself over a woman with such a joking tone.
"Speaking of which, is Meng Meng’s marriage to Young Master Lin settled?"
Yin Shixiu nodded,
"The Lin family’s elders came by the other day to discuss it, and it’s pretty much settled."
"When’s the date?"
"They’ll get engaged before the New Year and have a grand wedding after, but the exact date depends on Lin Xinhong’s leave schedule."
Yin Shaoqun nodded, sighed,
"See how fast time flies? I used to think you were getting older and hadn’t settled down, and now in the blink of an eye, the kids are three or four years old, and little Meng Meng is getting married
too."
"Yeah, and auntie’s world tour is almost ending, right?"
"Three more stops: Beijing, Munich, and Vienna."
Yin Shaoqun looked at Yin Shixiu,
"For Munich and Vienna... you all probably won’t have time to go. The Beijing performance is in the latter half of the month, if you can’t make it, let Meng Meng take Shuang’er and Huang’er to listen, alright?"
Yin Shixiu nodded,
"For the Beijing performance, I’ll definitely bring Meng Meng and Shuangshuang and Huanghuang along, as for Munich... maybe this nephew can manage to make it just in time."
"What do you mean?"
Yin Shixiu looked at his legs,
"A good friend of mine has been looking for better ways to treat my legs, and a week ago, an orthopedic hospital in Munich, Germany replied."
"...Are you going to Germany for treatment?"
Yin Shixiu nodded,
"In orthopedics, Germany’s medical technology is relatively more advanced than that of London. After discussing with Meng Meng, we decided to try the last two treatment phases over there."
Yin Shaoqun slightly tilted her head, looking at Yin Shixiu...
"Why is auntie looking at me like that?"
"Fourth, it’s hard, isn’t it?"
"...Being in a wheelchair is indeed a bit tough."
"In the future... the heavy burden of this whole Yin family will fall on you. Do you feel pressured?"
"It was bound to happen someday."
Yin Shaoqun gazed at Yin Shixiu,
"Actually... auntie used to think that there was no difference between you and your elder brother Yin Shiqing."
Yin Shixiu smiled,
"Auntie’s insight is sharp."
"Right, you’ve always been someone with self-awareness. Even if I didn’t say it, you’d understand."
Yin Shaoqun leaned back on the bench, reminiscing about the past...
"Since you were a child, you were sent abroad by your elder brother and sister-in-law. Although I was there to care for you, along with Guanyu, you still wished they could look after you themselves, right?"
"Not at all... growing up with Guanyu was great too."
Yin Shixiu murmured.
In his thirties, who can clearly remember the feelings of their seven or eight-year-old self...
"But one thing you can’t deny is that your sense of family has always been quite weak."
"..."
Yin Shixiu nodded, indeed unable to deny it.
"For more than twenty years, you studied abroad, lived alone, went to university, started a business, and then created such a large company, even taking it public in London without the family’s knowledge."
"Hearing auntie say this makes me feel quite accomplished."
Yin Shixiu joked.
"Very accomplished."
Yin Shaoqun did not hesitate to praise him,
"Fourth, whether it’s the main family or the branches, among so many descendants, you are undoubtedly the most outstanding one."
"..."
"Yin Shiqing is certainly outstanding too, but... the era you were born in has been your advantage, do you admit it?"
"I admit."
"Everything is for the sake of benefit, and everything starts with purpose. Yin Shiqing at thirty was the same."
Yin Shaoqun sighed,
"I watched you grow up, and your elder brother too, so I can clearly feel that before you turned thirty, your work style and mindset were very similar."
"..."
Yin Shixiu hadn’t expected his aunt to dissect the two brothers so clearly.
