Chapter 1150: Love Has No Right or Wrong, But It Has Differences

Everyone had already discussed it in the dining room.

He deliberately went to the living room to say it again, saying they were going to the Jian Family to pay a New Year's call; no one asked if Sheng Moli was going, but he pricked up his ears to listen and took it all in.

The timing was about right, so Shi Youxuan asked, "We are going to your grandmother's house to pay a New Year's call, are you coming?"

"Going, going, going, I want to go."

He agreed immediately, unable to wait a moment longer.

Shi Youxuan said, "You can go, but you have to promise me one condition."

"I promise."

He didn't ask what the condition was, agreeing without the slightest hesitation.

"You are not allowed to look for your mother at your grandmother's house; you must go with us and come back with us. Can you do that?"

"I can."

What he was thinking in his heart and what he promised with his mouth were two completely different things; Sheng Moli wanted to use a delaying tactic, but he didn't expect to be disappointed once again.

The Jian Family.

The group entered the Jian Family home, and the house suddenly became lively.

First, the younger generation paid their New Year's respects to the elders, then everyone received a red envelope, and then the adults and children separated naturally.

The children played together, while the adults sat in the living room chatting and sharing domestic gossip.

Sheng Moli actually wanted to ask when his mother would come.

But he had already promised at the Sheng Family not to bring it up, and with Shi Youxuan there, it was hard for him to speak.

So he lingered beside his grandparents, looking as if he had something to say but was holding back.

Grandmother said, "Good grandson, go play with your older and younger brothers; the adults are chatting, you won't be able to follow along."

He really couldn't follow along, nor did he want to.

Sheng Moli only wanted to ask when his mother could come over.

He hadn't seen her for a day and missed her very much.

But his usually clever grandparents had become very un-clever this time, for some unknown reason.

They acted as if they didn't understand their grandson's thoughts at all, asking him if he wanted to eat something.

What toys did he want to play with?

They even urged him to go play with his brothers, not mentioning his mother by even half a word, as if he didn't have a mother at all.

Sheng Moli was on the verge of crying again, but he caught a glimpse of Shi Youxuan out of the corner of his eye and forcibly held it back.

Only this time, holding it back didn't seem as difficult.

Lady Jian enthusiastically asked them to stay, inviting everyone to have lunch.

Shi Youxuan declined and left with the children.

Sheng Moli lingered before getting into the car; the moment the car door closed, he felt resentment toward his mother.

Usually inseparable, Sheng Moli's dependence on his mother had reached the level of depending on air; now, without any news, it gave him a feeling of suffocation like oxygen deprivation, on top of his panic!

The car gradually drove away, going quite a distance until his grandparents' house was too far to be seen, and only then did Sheng Moli finally accept the fact that he would not see his mother at his grandmother's house.

Jian Yixin's home.

Noon.

Sheng Zerong tiptoed and gently opened the door a crack; his wife was still sleeping, sleeping very soundly.

The reason she was sleeping so deeply, besides being exhausted last night, was another very important reason—he had put a special sleeping pill in the water she drank before bed.

This special medicine had no side effects on the body; it just allowed people to quickly enter a deep sleep, letting the body's functions get a good rest.

But he still felt a deep sense of guilt.

The sleeping pill was given by his brother-in-law, but the idea was Shi Youxuan's.

If she wanted to let Jian Yixin and her son return to a normal life track, it required everyone's cooperation; it wasn't something she could do alone.

Everyone was willing to cooperate, and as Jian Yixin's husband and Sheng Moli's father, he had even less reason to refuse.

So he agreed and followed through; as for whether his wife would discover something was wrong after waking up, and what the consequences would be if she did... that would have to wait for later; he couldn't think about that much right now.

The Sheng Family.

Lunch.

This time, Sheng Moli didn't need to be urged; he obediently went to the dining room with everyone and sat in his seat to wait for the meal to start.

Because he was a very smart child, he had already discovered that this place was indeed different from home.

If he didn't eat breakfast, no one would ask him if he was hungry or if he wanted a snack to tide him over before lunch.

It wasn't directed at him personally, but rather the rules of the Sheng Family were just like that—everyone was treated equally, and everyone had to comply.

The dishes for lunch were different from breakfast, but the atmosphere was the same—relaxed, harmonious, and pleasant!

Sheng Moli ate quite a bit at lunch; he discovered that when no one helped feed him, the food tasted even better.

His brothers and sisters would pick food for him, but they didn't feed it directly into his mouth; they used serving chopsticks to put it into the bowl in front of him, and he ate it himself.

After lunch, it was everyone's nap time.

He lay on the bed, unable to sleep.

Usually, when he slept, his mother would hold him, pat him, and tell him a bedtime story before he could fall asleep.

Today, there was nothing, so he couldn't sleep.

The reason he fell asleep easily last night was because he had been too tired during the day.

Sheng Moli lay on the bed, tossing and turning like a pancake, feeling more and more irritable the more he tossed.

He wanted to go home, but he didn't dare!

The last time he snuck out, he was nearly crippled by having his tendons severed, and ever since then, he has been left with deep psychological trauma, making him afraid to go out alone at all.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Sheng Zihan asked softly from outside: "Brother Moli, are you asleep?"

"No."

"Then can I come in?"

"Come in."

It just so happened that he was bored alone, and having a little chatterbox to keep him company was quite nice.

Sheng Zihan came in wearing pajamas, but he didn't bring his favorite puzzle toy; today he was just here to chat, purely to chat.

"Brother Moli, you don't like napping either, right? I don't like it either, but everyone in the family has to nap, I don't know why... Mom controls too much, it's so annoying..."

Sheng Zihan began to complain.

He complained that his mother was too strict and had to control everything, leaving Moli bewildered: "You call this strict? Your mother is already very lenient, okay?"

"That's not true, our classmate Wang Xiaosong's mother is the one who's lenient... Oh right, Wang Xiaosong's mother just wants to play mahjong and doesn't care about him at all, she doesn't even care about his three meals a day, that's not okay either!"

Throughout the entire nap time, Sheng Zihan was discussing one question with Moli—whose mother is better!

After the discussion, the two of them reached the same conclusion—Zihan's mother is still better.

Being strict when it's time to be strict, and lenient when it's time to be lenient, balancing tension and relaxation is the best way.

After nap time, it was the children's free time.

Since it was the New Year, there was no homework, so they could do whatever they wanted, including playing mobile games, but they had to control the time to prevent eye strain.

Moli's performance surprised everyone once again.

Everyone thought that under such strict control and supervision by his mother, Moli would basically have no chance to touch a mobile phone, let alone play games.

As it turned out, he was very skilled at gaming, and his rank in Honor of Kings was Strongest King, Eternal Diamond!

This made all the brothers of the Sheng Family incredibly envious.

The best gamer among them was Sheng Litian, and he had only reached Diamond II.

"How did you do it?"

"Moli, carry me, I'll take you as my master."

"Me too, don't leave anyone behind."

Moli went from being an object of ridicule to an object of everyone's admiration in an instant.
