Chapter 1073: Do as I say
The nanny went to the restroom and discovered that the little darling she was taking care of was missing. She was so scared that she almost lost her mind and quickly searched everywhere for him.
Just then, a rumbling sound came from the sky, and two helicopters flew towards them one after the other.
Before long, more and more helicopters appeared over Taihu Lake, flying towards this direction.
It turned out that the road leading to Huyin Garden was blocked. Normally, this road is very smooth, but no one expected so many cars and people to come here. So, some big shots who learned about the situation came by helicopter.
The nanny had no time to watch the commotion; she still had to keep looking for the child. It wasn't that she was worried the little princess had been kidnapped, but rather that she was afraid she would fall into the water. After all, the garden was full of ponds and waterways, and the little princess especially loved watching fish.
Thankfully, she saw her little darling being held in her cousin's arms by the pond, and she breathed a sigh of relief. This job paid too much; one month's salary was equivalent to three months' salary at another company. Moreover, the five social insurances and one housing fund were paid in full. If she lost this job, she would have nowhere to cry.
Seeing the nanny arrive, Miguo said to her, "Aunt Chen, I'll play with August for a while, you can rest over there!"
"Okay, okay!" the nanny replied hastily.
According to custom, Maowa, Miguo, and other great-grandchildren do not need to wear mourning clothes; they only need to wear a red ribbon on their sleeves. Therefore, all three of them have a red ribbon on their left arm, so that relatives who come to pay their respects can immediately tell that they are the great-grandchildren of their deceased maternal grandmother.
Today, Maowa was truly amazed. He had originally thought that his third uncle was just a big businessman, and that most of his business was in China. But he never expected that even David Young of Yuho, a global internet giant, would travel all the way to pay his respects to his great-grandmother.
What does this mean? It means that Yang's relationship with his third uncle is not ordinary. He spent nearly two years in the United States and knows some of the American business culture. If their relationship were not very close, those foreigners would not have done this.
As for the business tycoons in China, Maowa often saw these people in their respective financial media or news before, but a large number of them appeared here today, which is enough to show Uncle San's status in the Chinese business world.
Thinking about all this, Mao Wa understood why media reporters weren't allowed in.
As helicopter after helicopter landed, more people came to offer their condolences.
Maowa soon saw several familiar faces. Two of them were his cousins, but he treated them like strangers. After all, the two brothers rarely stayed in China, and even when they did, they stayed at their great-uncle's house.
Moreover, this matter was a closely guarded secret of the Huang family. From a young age, he was told not to tell anyone about it, or he would be expelled from the family.
This is Zhang Yun bringing Yawen and Luca back.
When Tang Jianhua saw that it was the mother and her two children, he personally led them to the mourning hall set up in Yunyin Residence.
Zhang Yun was dressed in black. The two brothers, Ya Wen and Luca, are now grown men, just like their father, and are already over 1.8 meters tall.
Upon arriving at the mourning hall, according to custom, Qian Jiazhen pinned a red ribbon to each of Yawen and Luca's left arms. She then gave Zhang Yun a pair of black armbands, which Zhang Yun put on before leading her two sons to pay their respects to their grandmother.
No one returned the greeting to the mother and her two children, because according to blood relations, the three of them were family.
Having learned of the arrival of the mother and her two children beforehand, Yu Xiang took her two children to her own villa. Even though Yu Xiang had tacitly agreed to this, it did not mean that she was willing to stay in the same house as that woman.
Not only herself, but even her children cannot.
Upon arriving at her courtyard, Yu Xiang suddenly realized that she couldn't see her youngest daughter.
"Xiaoduo, where's your sister?"
"Isn't Aunt Chen with them?" It's so chaotic today, lots of people have come, and they all like to talk to the brother and sister, keeping them busy. Luckily, their mother saw that they were tired, so she brought them here to rest for a while.
At this moment, Huang Zeji took out his phone: "I'll call Aunt Chen. They can't have gone far; they must be in the garden."
After receiving the call, the nanny, Aunt Chen, quickly brought August to the small courtyard.
"Mommy, I went to see the big fish, there are so many!" The little one immediately ran to her mother to fawn over her as soon as she saw her.
"Really!" Despite her exhaustion, Yu Xiang picked up the little one and placed him on her lap.
I'm really not young anymore. Back when I had Xiaodong and Xiaoduo, I didn't feel that tired taking care of them. But now I can't. I can't even hold this little one for a short while.
The little one looked around and, not seeing her father, asked, "Where's Daddy?"
"Sweetie August, Daddy's busy today, let's not bother him, okay?" Yu Xiang coaxed the little one.
The little one is still too young to understand what life and death mean, so there's no point in telling her. It's better not to say anything and she'll understand when she's older.
Inside the secluded residence, Yawen and Luca met their father, Huang Xiaochuan, who looked haggard. He hadn't slept well for two nights in a row, and his grief was too much for even the strongest person to bear.
"dad!"
The two brothers greeted their father in unison.
Huang Xiaochuan nodded, patted his two sons on the shoulders, and then greeted Zhang Yun: "You're here!"
Zhang Yun wiped her eyes: "Grandma has passed away, so I definitely have to bring them here to pay my respects."
Huang Xiaochuan expressed his gratitude: "Thank you! That's so thoughtful!"
At this time, Huang Xiaochuan's uncle, Zeng Jiahua, came to discuss the tombstone with him again.
The main reason was that Huang Xiaochuan made a request, which made this originally simple matter somewhat complicated.
According to custom and tradition, the names of the grandmother's children and grandchildren should be engraved on her tombstone.
For example, the eldest daughter: Zeng Lijuan's son-in-law Huang Shanyuan
Grandson: Huang Dahai; Daughter-in-law: Jiang Rong
Huang Erhe's wife: Cheng Jing
Huang Xiaochuan's wife: Yu Xiang
But Huang Xiaochuan insisted on changing it to Sun: Huang Xiaochuan's granddaughter-in-law: Yu Xiang
This is troublesome.
According to Huang Xiaochuan, he wanted to make her happy.
Zeng Jiahua was in a dilemma, not because he was unwilling, but mainly because his older sister and brother-in-law were unwilling.
Especially Huang Shanyuan, the eldest brother-in-law, was unwilling to see his own son doing this on the tombstone, especially since he was a person with very strong traditional values.
"Xiao Chuan, I know what you mean, but this isn't the right thing to do," Zeng Jiahua patiently advised his nephew.
At this moment, Huang Xiaochuan felt a trace of resentment towards his parents. Back then, you had three sons, so what was wrong with giving me to my uncle?
That way, Grandma won't have any regrets when she passes away.
Besides, I wouldn't disown my biological parents.
They haven't changed the surname yet, they've just removed the "wai" from "wai sun" (grandson), and they still don't agree to that. Thinking about this, Huang Xiaochuan got a little angry.
He said coldly, "It's alright, Uncle, just do as I say."
