Chapter 1049: Turning Waste into Treasure 1

Sheng Hanyu turned and walked away; forget it, he wouldn't get any answers even if he asked more, so he prepared to solve it himself.

On the other side, Shi Youxuan asked questions that were more specific.

For the half-month before they went abroad, the house had been quiet and nothing had happened.

But later, Wang Yingzhi came over.

She came every day during the day, making her wait on her, and would go back at night when the children were about to get out of school.

She didn't just throw her weight around at home; she also spouted nonsense in the residential complex.

She claimed she was the first wife, that Wang Yinghao was the mistress who had usurped her position, and she crafted a pitiful persona for herself.

Wang Yingzhi also took the opportunity to borrow money from the neighbors.

The housing prices in the complex where they lived were very high, and it required full payment; loans were not allowed.

Therefore, the owners in the complex were all wealthy people. After Wang Yingzhi got a taste of the sweetness, she couldn't stop, and in just three short days, she had actually borrowed several million!

After borrowing the money, she sent the IOUs to Wang Yinghao and said righteously, "Pay up."

Sheng Jiang and Wang Yinghao were very angry: "You borrowed the money, why should we pay it back?"

Wang Yingzhi said righteously: "If you don't pay, I'll make your son pay. Anyway, your son has money, but I won't care whose face gets lost."

In the end, Wang Yinghao still paid off the money, then went to apologize to the neighbors one by one, begging them not to lend money to Wang Yingzhi.

Although no one would lend her money anymore, Wang Yinghao had once again become the laughingstock of the complex.

The reputation that everyone had worked so hard to restore last time was ruined in an instant; now she was a joke in the complex!

"Xuanxuan, you've finally returned. Your father-in-law and I have discussed it; we want to move, to move to a place where she can never find us."

"She bullies the weak and fears the strong; she only dares to bully us, not you. We can't afford to provoke her, but we can hide from her."

Shi Youxuan: "No need. I'm back, so you don't need to be afraid of her anymore. I'll go find her."

She went to the Apartment where Wang Yingzhi lived.

"Ding-dong—"

"Who is it?"

Wang Yingzhi opened the door and saw Shi Youxuan standing outside. She was stunned at first, but soon her face was full of smiles, and she enthusiastically invited her in.

"Oh my, I said the magpies were chirping outside the window early this morning; so it was because you came back?"

"When did you get back? Everything went smoothly out there, right? What did you go do? Sit down, I'll go cook for you. How about soybean paste noodles? The soybean paste noodles I make are especially delicious."

Shi Youxuan didn't say a word, while she chattered on and on.

"Come back."

Just as Wang Yingzhi was preparing to slip away, Shi Youxuan called her back.

"Slap!" The IOUs in her hand were slapped onto the coffee table.

Shi Youxuan asked: "What is going on here? Explain it to me."

"Hehe, these... well, you see, I was short on cash, so I temporarily borrowed some money from the neighbors. My memory isn't very good and I was afraid I'd forget, so I put the IOUs with A-Hao and let her keep them for me."

"Don't overthink it, I won't make her pay them back, I'll go pay them back immediately..."

She grabbed the IOUs and was about to run; feeling guilty like a thief, she didn't even notice whether the IOUs were real or fake.

Wang Yinghao had already paid the money for her, so where would there be any IOUs left?

This time Shi Youxuan didn't call her back, but she realized it before she even got out the door.

Wang Yingzhi returned sheepishly and sat down, a fawning smile on her face: "Daughter-in-law, you love to joke too much, you scared me."

"I'll say it again, I am not your daughter-in-law, and Hanyu is not your son, neither legally nor by blood."

"Stop trying to get close to us. Where are the people I placed here? Why isn't a single one here?"

Before leaving, Shi Youxuan had arranged bodyguards and a nanny at the place where Wang Yingzhi lived, but looking at her smug attitude, the people she arranged must have all been driven away.

"Oh, I caught an infectious disease and was afraid of passing it to them, so I let them all go home."

"You should go home too; the air here is full of viruses, it's not good for you."

Wang Yingzhi always lied through her teeth; Shi Youxuan didn't believe a single word she said.

"You cannot stay here, you should leave."

Wang Yingzhi: "Where would I go?" Her eyes lit up, she was overthinking it.

Wang Yingzhi's old face smiled like a blooming peony: "Xuanxuan, you want to take me back to live with you all, right? Oh my, you are truly too good and kind. Sheng Hanyu must have saved the galaxy in his past life to be able to marry such a good wife as you."

"Talented, beautiful, and capable of earning money, smart, wise, and responsible; you are hard to find in heaven and hard to find on earth. A good woman like you is unprecedented and unrepeatable; no second one can be found besides you..."

Shi Youxuan: "Shut up. I'm taking you back to live with us? You're overthinking it."

Wang Yingzhi patted her own chest and promised: "Xuanxuan, don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. Me living with you is actually good for you; I can do laundry and cooking, just treat me as an extra servant in the house, okay?"

"Keeping me under your nose to watch me, you can also be at ease. It's not that I insist on clinging to your house, it's mainly that I'm old and living alone outside is miserable; even if I died in the room, no one would know..."

As she spoke, she actually shed tears.

If one didn't know Wang Yingzhi's character, it would be really easy to be fooled by the appearance she put on; those ten years in Prison were not spent in vain.

She had indeed improved, and the improvement was too great.

Wang Yingzhi used to only know how to be unreasonable, calculate small gains to avoid losses, and pester people endlessly.

Now she knew how to use strategy and methods.

Shi Youxuan was even more convinced that she hadn't been wrong to come this time!

She sat upright, preparing to negotiate.

"I will give you five million every month, and you go accompany someone. Once it's done, I will help you with your old age and funeral arrangements; I absolutely won't let you grow old and die alone. What do you think?"

"Accompany whom?"

Wang Yingzhi was a bit wary.

Five million a month, and she would even help with her old age and funeral?

Shi Youxuan is no fool, and she is certainly no sucker; Wang Yingzhi, for one, does not believe she could have such good intentions.

"Accompany my daughter, Shi Ran."

"Really? Great, great, I agree."

She was so happy she was practically dancing with joy.

Who doesn't know Shi Ran?

A child prodigy when she was little, now a genius girl, she is surrounded by a halo of prestige.

To be able to stay by her side?

And get paid, a lot of money at that—is it true?

This stroke of good luck suddenly falling on her head made Wang Yingzhi so excited she immediately lost her bearings.

"Xuanxuan, don't you worry."

She began to pledge her loyalty with solemn vows: "I guarantee I will take good care of Ranran, with delicious food, drinks, and nutritious meals; I'll add clothes when it's cold and bring cold drinks when it's hot, and when I have time, I'll teach her the principles of how to conduct herself... no, wait, I'll talk less and do more."

She still had a bit of self-awareness, knowing that her own character was not fit to teach anyone principles.

Shi Youxuan sneered: "You don't really think I'm asking you to accompany Ranran to act as a servant, do you?"

"Even if I have money, it didn't just blow in on the wind, and I don't just scatter it around; what kind of servant gets paid five million a month?"

Wang Yingzhi asked: "Then you're asking me to go to A Country to accompany Ranran just because you want me to stay away from Wang Ying?"
