Chapter 1144: The Joys of a Mama's Boy

However, the subsequent behavior of Jian Yixin and her son at the Sheng Family home once again opened everyone's eyes.

The Sheng Family has many children, and usually, when children come over, they take the initiative to find the little ones to play with, but Moli sat properly by his mother's side without moving an inch.

"Brother Moli, come over and play with us." Zihan ran over and pulled his hand.

They used to play together all the time, and although they hadn't been together lately, they wouldn't be strangers.

But Moli shook her off without hesitation: "No, I want to be with Mom."

Jian Yixin pulled her son over and kissed him on the forehead: "Good boy, this isn't some other place; it's just like home, go play with your brothers and sisters."

"No!"

Moli refused flatly. He hugged his mother's arm tightly, looking at everyone with eyes full of wariness: "I'm not going anywhere, I just want to be with Mom, or you can come play with me."

Everyone:...

They were all dumbfounded.

Sheng Zihan took the initiative to come over and pull Moli's hand: "Brother Moli, come play with us, you haven't played with us for a long time."

"I won't!"

Moli was very resistant; he was unwilling.

Generally, no one would refuse a request made by the adorable Sheng Zihan.

But Moli refused.

It wasn't that he didn't want to be with his brothers and sisters at all, he just wanted Mom to join in too!

And when Jian Yixin wanted to follow, Shi Youxuan would object; just this little matter was actually unsolvable.

Sheng Hanyu quietly asked Jian Yining: "Your sister is like this, why don't you advise her?"

Jian Yining: "Who could persuade her? I don't have that ability, and my brother-in-law can't either. Why don't you try?"

"I can't."

Sheng Hanyu shook his head. He really couldn't; he was not at all good at persuading people in such matters.

It had been a long time since they had gathered together. In the past, it was Jian Yixin who relied on her son more, but now Moli didn't want to leave his mother for even a second, completely shifting from passive to active.

In these two years, Moli had grown very quickly, and his height had already reached Jian Yixin's ears.

If he didn't speak, he looked like a big kid, but when he spoke, he was still a baby.

It was as if he was living in reverse.

Sheng Zerong had been very anxious two years ago, but now he turned a deaf ear, probably because he was used to it.

Shi Youxuan endured it.

She pretended not to see as she entertained the guests, pouring tea and getting snacks and treats.

Jian Yixin became increasingly excessive; she cooled the tea to a warm temperature and personally brought it to her son's lips, and Moli drank a mouthful quite naturally.

Then she pinched a snack into small pieces and fed it to her son bit by bit.

The taste was entirely based on her own preferences; she hadn't asked for Moli's opinion, and the child didn't have any opinion either.

After feeding a mouthful of snack, then a mouthful of tea, and after he had drunk half a cup of tea and eaten one snack, Jian Yixin hesitated for a long time before picking up a piece of milk candy, staring at the candy with a frown, her fingers moving rapidly.

Shi Youxuan really couldn't hold back anymore: "What are you doing? Are you telling the milk candy's fortune?"

"Go away, I'm calculating the calories in this piece of candy."

Jian Yixin rolled her eyes, then peeled off the candy wrapper, bit off half the candy, and handed the other half to her son's lips: "Eat it, baby, you won't get fat."

Shi Youxuan:...

This wasn't even the end of it; every subsequent interaction between the mother and son opened everyone's eyes, and the two of them kept refreshing everyone's perception!

Shi Youxuan couldn't endure it any longer and said bluntly: "Yixin, this won't do; children aren't raised like this."

"You raise your child too delicately, which is not conducive to his growth. Don't think that doing this is loving him; this is harming him..."

She didn't hold back at all, nor did she leave any face.

Her words were very straightforward; let alone Jian Yixin, even Sheng Zerong couldn't keep a straight face.

Jian Yixin retorted: "You don't need to worry about my family's affairs."

After saying this, she pulled up her son and said to her husband: "Let's go."

They had come from far away to pay a New Year's visit, originally intending to add some festive cheer, but they were lectured instead on the New Year. Jian Yixin was proud and arrogant and couldn't listen to advice.

Usually, whether at the company or at home, she was the one who made the decisions, a person whose word was law.

No one had ever defied her opinion, and certainly, no one had ever lectured her like this, not even her own mother.

If it had been anyone else who dared to speak to her like this, Jian Yixin would have turned hostile long ago!

But this person was Shi Youxuan, so she couldn't turn hostile.

However, she looked displeased and stood up to leave.

"Where are you going!"

Shi Youxuan "pushed her luck."

Seeing that Jian Yixin was about to leave, she didn't say any soft words, but instead blocked her path.

"Move aside. If you don't like the look of us, we'll stay far away from you, is that okay? Coming to your house on the New Year, and you're giving us attitude, pulling a long face—who are you showing that to?"

Shi Youxuan: "Of course I'm showing it to you. Haven't seen you for a while, and you haven't grown in other ways, but your temper has certainly grown! Don't tell me you don't know that educating a child like this is wrong."

"If your son grows up to be a mama's boy, you won't even have time to cry by then."

Jian Yixin still glared at Shi Youxuan angrily, but she no longer argued.

She wasn't stupid; this woman had both high IQ and high EQ.

But she just couldn't control herself.

Shi Youxuan continued: "Others don't say anything; some fear your position, some fear hurting your feelings because of family ties, but everyone knows that what you are doing is wrong. If you continue like this, it's not for Moli's good, it's harming him."

"That's right, Moli is your son, and how you two get along is your family business. If it were a small issue, I would be like everyone else and wouldn't say or do anything, but now I can't just ignore it. If you want to leave, go ahead, but Moli stays."

"What did you say? No."

Hearing that she had to leave her son behind, it was as if Jian Yixin's life was being demanded of her.

Moli was also nervous, clinging tightly to his mother, his hands clutching her clothes without letting go, as if he were afraid of being snatched away.

"Why not?"

Shi Youxuan was extremely overbearing and unreasonable: "This is my territory, and I have the final say on my territory. Who told you to come to my territory? You want to come when you please and leave when you please? There is no such easy thing."

Nianyin and Lao Qi did not know when they had stood by Shi Youxuan's side, waiting at any moment for her to give an order.

The Madam had not given an order yet, but the Master spoke first: "Pull them apart."

For the next five minutes, the Sheng Family living room staged a human "tragedy."

Jian Yixin and her son were forcibly separated, regardless of Moli's heart-wrenching cries.

Jian Yixin's threats and even more severe threats were all useless!

Shi Youxuan instructed Nianyin to take Moli to the guest room on the second floor and lock him up, then had people drive Jian Yixin and her husband out.

She wanted to keep Moli at home for a period of time, determined to correct the bad habits of this mother and son.

Moli's face was covered in tear tracks, his helpless little eyes looking at his mother with sorrow.

Like a mother hen who had lost her chick, Jian Yixin glared at Shi Youxuan with insane hatred; if it weren't for Lao Qi holding her back, she would have lunged forward to bite Shi Youxuan to death.

"Shi Youxuan, you are going too far. What right do you have to separate us mother and son? For the sake of our past friendship, I will give you one chance to release my son immediately, otherwise, I will not be finished with you."
