Chapter 121: Asserting Sovereignty

Although the servants looked down on Wang Yingzhi from the bottom of their hearts, she was the Eldest Young Master's mother, so as long as her demands were not too excessive, they would comply.

It was Sheng Jiang who felt his wife was being excessive; he reached out to pull Wang Yingzhi back and warned, "Don't be too excessive. Who knows what will happen when Hanyu comes down later?"

Reminded by her husband, Wang Yingzhi restrained herself a little.

Sheng Hanyu came down the stairs and saw the two of them waiting. Before they could speak, Wang Yingzhi let out a "wail" and threw herself at him, hugging her son and crying loudly: "Hanyu, Mom is so miserable. Your uncle and aunt kicked your father and me out of the house. You must stand up for us..."

The same old routine.

Sheng Hanyu pushed her away coldly and warned: "State your purpose directly. If you play the family card again, I will have someone throw you out."

Wang Yingzhi dared not act miserable, and she dared not keep calling him "son" repeatedly.

After all, she had signed the papers at the press conference, and she knew that the signed contract had legal effect; even if Sheng Hanyu kicked them out right now, no one would say anything.

"We want to live here; we have nowhere else to go." She lowered her voice, acting timid, a completely different person from the attitude she had toward the servants just moments ago.

Sheng Jiang kept his head buried very, very low; one could only see the top of his head, not the expression on his face.

The two of them looked both pitiful and infuriating, but he did not soften his heart to take them in.

He did not want to talk to Wang Yingzhi, so he went to Sheng Jiang and said: "Stand up and talk to me."

No address, no calling him "Dad."

But because his son had taken the initiative to speak to him, Sheng Jiang was very moved.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Sheng Hanyu in disbelief: "Are you talking to me?"

"Yes."

Having received an answer, Sheng Jiang stood up immediately, but because he used too much force, his blood pressure spiked and his body swayed. Sheng Hanyu reached out to steady him, and this single gesture moved him to tears.

"Hanyu... Dad, no, I'm sorry to you... I really have no face to come here. You can hit me... no, do whatever you need to do to vent your anger..." He was so agitated that he was rambling.

Sheng Hanyu turned his face away; he only wanted to have a word with him, a simple matter, yet because he had steadied him, it had branched out into so much talk.

"Enough, don't say useless things."

Sheng Hanyu said to Sheng Jiang: "Tell her, living here is impossible. Tell her to give up on that idea as soon as possible."

"I will have someone send you two to a hotel now. Once a place is arranged, someone will come to pick you up. As for the shares, once you are settled, a Lüshi will contact you."

What Wang Yingzhi had done had hurt Sheng Hanyu too deeply; even speaking to her felt redundant to him.

The housekeeper arranged for a driver to take the two away. Sheng Jiang said nothing, picked up his suitcase, and went out with the driver.

But Wang Yingzhi had other thoughts. She felt that since her son could arrange a hotel for them, plan for their long-term residence, and even take the initiative to help them get shares, it meant he still cherished their mother-son bond!

She wanted to repair their relationship and cautiously moved closer to her son, but before she could speak, a warning sound made her abandon the idea.

Sheng Hanyu frowned: "Say one more word and get out immediately. I won't care about anything."

She nimbly grabbed her suitcase and left, truly not daring to say another word.

Sheng Hanyu instructed the housekeeper: "Have someone watch the gate. If this woman enters the gate of this house again, fire him." After giving the order, he turned and went upstairs, not returning to the bedroom but going to the Study.

In the early morning, Shi Youxuan woke up from her sleep, having had a good night's dream.

Especially when she saw the teddy bear in her arms, her mood improved even more.

"Zai Zai, I will never lose you again." Shi Youxuan hugged Zai Zai tightly; the feeling of recovering what was lost was truly wonderful.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The housekeeper said from outside: "Eldest Young Mistress, it is time for breakfast."

She glanced at the watch on her wrist; it was the same time as before, not a minute off.

"I know."

After Shi Youxuan went to the washroom to freshen up, she walked out of the bedroom with a bare face and met Sheng Hanyu in the dining room.

He seemed not to have rested well last night; his complexion was dull, and he had dark circles under his eyes.

Breakfast was very sumptuous, with four types of porridge alone.

Pumpkin and millet porridge, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, seafood porridge, and lily and yam porridge.

In addition, there were egg yolk buns, soup dumplings, sugar-crusted cakes, steamed buns, boiled eggs, fried bacon, and several small dishes of cold appetizers.

Sheng Hanyu's chef was truly excellent; this was the thing Shi Youxuan was most satisfied with, but even if she was satisfied with the chef, she couldn't stay here; she had to leave.

After the meal, she took the initiative to stop Sheng Hanyu: "I want to talk to you."

Sheng Hanyu looked at her: "Let's talk in the Study."

Just as the two were about to head to the Study, the house welcomed a few uninvited guests.

But they were all acquaintances; Jian Yining, Yun Zhe Hao, and Sheng Zerong, who had been driven away by Sheng Hanyu yesterday, had arrived!

Yun Zhe Hao and Sheng Zerong were half-forced, and half-driven by the desire to see gossip, so they came.

The fact that Yingzi, who had been with them day and night for so many days, was actually Shi Youxuan—whom Sheng Hanyu had searched heaven and earth for—was too explosive; it was so explosive that the two of them still couldn't believe it was true!

Jian Yining's eyes were bloodshot; it was clear he hadn't rested well last night, or perhaps hadn't slept at all.

When he saw Shi Youxuan, he couldn't see anything else in his eyes.

He grabbed Shi Youxuan and said nervously: "Yingzi, did he give you a hard time? I came here this time to take you away. Don't be afraid; with me here, no one can do anything to you."

Shi Youxuan thought to herself, "Oh no, you're trying to help but only making things worse."

Originally, she had wanted to talk to Sheng Hanyu about this matter, and if Jian Yining hadn't interfered, it should have gone smoothly. Now, it would likely be very difficult!

Before she could speak, Sheng Hanyu had already pulled her behind him, blocking the two of them: "She is my wife. You have no right to take her away. Whether you are here or not makes no difference; your presence is just an obstruction."

After saying this, he pulled Shi Youxuan into his arms and kissed her domineeringly!

In that instant, the air seemed to stop flowing, and everyone was shocked.

What was going on?

Could it be that in just one night, the two of them had already done something indescribable?

Jian Yining's heart felt as if it had been soaked in a vinegar jar; it was sour. He wanted to pull the two apart, but before he could act, he was pulled aside by Yun Zhe Hao: "A Ning, stop making a scene. We understand how you feel, but they are a married couple. Anything you do would be immoral."

Shi Youxuan's lips were kissed, and at first, her mind went blank; she couldn't remember anything and couldn't make any reaction.

But after a few seconds, she reacted, so she struggled, wanting to use her hands to push him away.

Sheng Hanyu's iron-pincer-like hands, however, held her firmly in check; she pushed several times but couldn't push him away, and not only did she fail to push him away, he became even more excessive.

One large hand pinned her into his embrace, while the other large hand held the back of her head, kissing her without letting go, as if he were addicted to her scent.

With so many people watching nearby, under the eyes of the public, Shi Youxuan felt that he was just taking revenge, taking revenge on her for never telling him her true identity, which was why he was deliberately embarrassing her in front of everyone!

Two lines of clear tears slid from the corners of Shi Youxuan's eyes, and she hated him to death.

How could he bully someone like this?

Sure enough, returning to being Shi Youxuan meant being bullied; it was better to be Yingzi, with an ordinary appearance and not being bullied...

Shi Youxuan had her back to Jian Yining; he didn't see the tears flowing from the corners of her eyes, only seeing the two of them kissing together, lingering endlessly.

His heart felt as if it were being cut by a knife, especially painful.

Jian Yining could no longer bear to watch, and he shouted at Sheng Hanyu: "Sheng Hanyu, you must be good to Yingzi, you must be good to her alone forever, you are not allowed to think of other women, even if it is my sister, it won't do."

After shouting, he pushed Yun Zhe Hao away and ran out.
