Chapter 128: Gone Too Far

~8 min read 1,591 words

Sheng Yukai and Shi Yuke were in the throes of passion, feeling as if they were on cloud nine.

Being interrupted by his mother so abruptly felt extremely disappointing, so he replied testily, "I'm out of town. If you have something to say, say it quickly; I'm in a meeting."

"Sheng Yukai, have your wings grown so stiff that you're even lying to me now? You didn't go out of town, and you're not on a business trip. Get back here this instant..."

"Beep, beep, beep—"

A busy signal came from the phone.

Bai Xue initially thought the call had dropped, but when she tried again, it showed the phone was powered off, so she immediately realized it wasn't a dropped call, but that her son didn't want to answer her.

She had given birth to two sons, and Sheng Yukai had always been the most obedient one since he was little, never once going against her wishes. Now that he had that slut Shi Yuke, he actually dared to lie to her?

Bai Xue was furious and blamed all the faults on Shi Yuke. She ranted at home, but since she received no response, the anger wasn't vented.

In the past, when Wang Yingzhi was around, Bai Xue would grab her and lecture her whenever she was angry, and after lecturing her, seeing her pathetic, punching-bag demeanor would make her feel much better. But now that Wang Yingzhi had been driven away, she had no one left to vent her anger on.

Sheng Hai was not at home, and even if he were, she wouldn't dare vent her anger on him.

Bai Xue grabbed her coat and told the driver to drive to Banshan Bay immediately!

She remembered that her son had bought a luxury villa at Banshan Bay not long ago; perhaps he was hiding there with that slut Shi Yuke.

"Ding-dong—"

"Ding-dong—"

The doorbell rang urgently. The servant went to open the door and saw a furious noblewoman standing outside: "Who are you looking for?"

"Where is Sheng Yukai?" Bai Xue asked.

The servant said, "The master and mistress are upstairs. Please wait in the living room; I will go and announce you."

"No need to announce me, I'll go up and find him myself."

Bai Xue pushed the servant aside and barged in, heading straight for the upstairs bedroom.

The servant shouted behind her, "Hey, who are you? How can you just barge into someone's home? Get out now, or I'm calling the police..."

Seeing it was useless, the servant shouted loudly again, "Master, Mistress! An old woman is forcing her way into the house, come out and look!"

"Bang!"

Bai Xue kicked the bedroom door open. Sheng Yukai was putting on his clothes, and Shi Yuke was helping him while wearing nothing...

"Very good! Didn't you say you went to a meeting? Is this the conference room?"

All the anger Bai Xue had accumulated along the way was released at this moment. She grabbed a crystal ornament from the nightstand and smashed it onto her son's head!

Blood flowed.

Shi Yuke screamed, "Ah— Darling, what's wrong with you? Are you alright?"

Sheng Yukai covered his wound, but the blood kept flowing more and more.

Shi Yuke brought over a medical kit and, in a panic, took out iodine, gauze, and anti-inflammatory medicine to bandage him.

Bai Xue was stunned at first, but when she came to her senses, she pushed Shi Yuke away: "Get out of the way, I'll do it."

"What happened at their place?"

"What else could it be? A wife catching a mistress, of course. This is the third time this month in our residential complex; it's nothing strange, just watch the show..."

"Their servant has already called the police..."

The voices outside alerted the three of them. Shi Yuke hurried outside to look.

She didn't know until she looked, and she was shocked by what she saw.

The outside was crowded with people watching the spectacle, and the residential complex Security Guard was also bringing the police over.

The police arrived quickly, but although the servant had called them, the hosts did not want to cooperate.

The injured man said it was fine, just an internal family conflict and a misunderstanding; he didn't want to file a report and asked the police to return.

Since the "aggrieved party" said it was fine, the police left, but the incident spread rapidly throughout the complex, becoming the talk of the town, with all sorts of rumors flying.

Sheng Yukai, with gauze wrapped around his head, paced anxiously in the living room. Bai Xue sat on the sofa, now behaving herself.

Shi Yuke had gone back to her parents' home. Before leaving, she told him she was going back to get her marriage certificate and ID, and once she got them, she would return to divorce Sheng Yukai!

After Shi Yuke left, Sheng Yukai told Bai Xue that the fool Sheng Hanyu married was not a fool at all; she was not only Shi Yuke's sister but also Ying Zi from Tianma Company!

Bai Xue was dumbfounded.

Why the fool was no longer a fool, she couldn't figure out, but she could understand two things.

First, Wang Yingzhi's daughter-in-law was much more capable than her own, and by more than just a little.

Second, Wang Yingzhi's daughter-in-law, Shi Youxuan, and her own daughter-in-law, Shi Yuke, were sisters—proper blood relatives.

Once she understood these two things, everything else became easy to sort out—Shi Yuke had to be kept; she couldn't let her divorce her son!

The Dingsheng company founded by Sheng Hanyu had already surpassed the Sheng Group; it was better to be on good terms than to continue the confrontation. Shi Yuke's identity was perfect for easing the relationship between the two sides; it would be very unwise to let them divorce now.

"No, I must go to the in-laws' place and personally apologize to my daughter-in-law."

Bai Xue steeled her heart. For the sake of her son's future, she had to lower her head when necessary.

The mother and son brought generous gifts to the Shi Family.

As soon as Bai Xue entered, she called Jiang Yadan "in-law," acting extremely affectionate. She then praised Shi Yuke incessantly, claiming she was the best in the world, and repeatedly complimented the Shi Family for their upbringing, saying their daughters were better than the last.

Shi Yuke did not tell her parents about everything that happened at the villa, especially her father, knowing that if he found out she had been kicked out by her mother-in-law, he would only compare her to Shi Youxuan again.

Of course, she wouldn't really return to get her documents for a divorce; she was just hiding at her parents' home to avoid the limelight. Seeing her mother-in-law come to her parents' home, Shi Yuke was startled at first, but she felt relieved after seeing her mother-in-law's attitude.

Adhering to the principle of not hitting someone who is smiling, Shi Yucheng treated Bai Xue with courtesy. Bai Xue and Jiang Yadan chatted happily, first praising each other's children, and then naturally moving on to the topic of the wedding!

The marriage certificate had been obtained, and the two were legally husband and wife; it wouldn't be right not to have a wedding.

Bai Xue wanted to book the entire Prince Hotel for three days and hold a grand banquet for three days.

The first day would count as the engagement.

The second day would be the wedding day.

The third day would be the bride's return-home thank-you banquet.

This could be considered original and unique; Bai Xue not only proposed that all expenses be covered by the Sheng Family, but also took the initiative to offer a generous dowry for Yuke.

The dowry would be provided according to the standard the old master had set for Shi Youxuan back then.

Jiang Yadan was grinning from ear to ear and agreed repeatedly, but Shi Yucheng felt wary of her mentioning Shi Youxuan in every other sentence.

……

Shi Youxuan felt quite touched after receiving a call from her father.

As she had expected, trouble followed once her identity was exposed; she hadn't even done anything yet, and Yuke was already using her to seek profit for herself.

Sheng Hanyu pushed the door open and saw the little woman sitting on the bay window holding a teddy bear doll, her brows tightly furrowed.

"What's wrong?"

She was startled.

This man never knocked when entering a room; he was always appearing and disappearing like a ghost.

"It's nothing." She didn't want to say.

Sheng Hanyu didn't mind and said, "Change your clothes."

"What for?"

Shi Youxuan raised her eyelids and looked at him warily; ever since she regained her identity, Sheng Hanyu wouldn't let her go out, and the furthest she had gone was to the hospital to see her father or for a stroll by the lake.

Now that he was suddenly asking her to change clothes, she had no idea what he was up to.

"Going out to eat and see a movie, are you coming?"

"Yes!"

Shi Youxuan's eyes widened instantly, and she jumped up happily, tossing Zai Zai onto the bed in one motion.

She hopped over to the wardrobe to pick out clothes, pulled an inconspicuous red casual shirt and jeans from among the many international designer brands... and turned around to see Sheng Hanyu still standing there.

Then she pushed him out: "You go out, I need to change."
