Chapter 138: Suffering a Silent Loss Without Being Able to Speak Out

Sheng Yukai could no longer hold it together; he was about to start driving people away.

Shi Youxuan, however, suddenly changed the subject: "Either pay the money back, or I hold a press conference tomorrow to explain everything. You choose one."

There was no need to choose at all; before Bai Xue could even open her mouth, Shi Yuke hurriedly transferred 150 million to Shi Youxuan's account!

This money was originally given by Shi Youxuan—no, that's not right, it was earned by Shi Yuke—and now that she had to hand it all back, she felt an indescribable sense of grievance.

It wasn't just that Shi Yuke had suffered a massive, silent loss; Shi Youxuan was relentless, arguing with perfect justification: "You have to write me a receipt proving that this money was mine to begin with. Otherwise, as soon as I leave, you'll turn around and go to the police to accuse me of extortion, and I won't be able to clear my name..."

The members of the Sheng Family had not yet realized that this "evidence" would become a means to intimidate them in the future; right now, they just wanted to get rid of this "plague god" as quickly as possible.

Bai Xue's initial idea of currying favor with Shi Youxuan was gone; originally, Bai Xue had planned it all out well, intending to use Shi Yuke to get close to Shi Youxuan and build a relationship to do business together.

As it turned out, before she could even state her purpose, it had already been seen through by someone.

Being seen through wasn't the end of it; Shi Youxuan even used it as leverage to attack the Sheng Family. Admitting it would be equivalent to handing others ammunition.

Not admitting it meant all the preparation and effort put in beforehand would be in vain.

It wasn't just Shi Yuke who felt aggrieved; Bai Xue felt equally aggrieved, but she pinned all the blame on Shi Yuke, waiting for the "plague god" to leave so she could settle the score with her.

"Write it, what are you waiting for?" She gave Shi Yuke a fierce shove.

"Oh, I'll write, I'll write right now."

Shi Yuke sensed something was wrong and didn't want to write any receipt, but under her mother-in-law's urging, she had no choice but to write it out according to Shi Youxuan's demands.

Shi Youxuan put it away and waved a hand at her bodyguards: "Let's go."

A triumphant victory.

After Shi Youxuan left, Bai Xue immediately told Shi Yuke to get lost.

Shi Yuke knew she was in the wrong and that begging her mother-in-law was useless, so she cast a pleading look at her husband, hoping Sheng Yukai could put in a good word for her.

This time, Sheng Yukai didn't stand on his wife's side either, but instead said with a gloomy face: "Is there even a single word of truth in you?"

"Get out. Our temple is small and cannot accommodate a Great Buddha like you."

"You shameless thing, stealing money to put on a front for yourself. It's truly a sight to behold. The Sheng Family is not a shelter; not just anything is fit to enter our doors..."

The resentment Bai Xue had accumulated over many days surged toward Shi Yuke like a tidal wave at this moment. She didn't feel relieved even after scolding her until she was battered and bruised, and in the end, she personally sent her back to the Shi Family.

Shi Yucheng had gone to the company and was not at home, but Jiang Yadan was.

When Bai Xue arrived at the Shi Family, she still wanted to throw her weight around, but it didn't work on this new turf. Jiang Yadan and a Shi Yuke who had finally come to her senses teamed up to retort against Bai Xue and drove her out of the Shi Family!

"Shi Yuke, my son will definitely divorce you. You, a hen that can't lay eggs, will never be wanted by anyone." After suffering a loss, Bai Xue unleashed a vicious curse.

Shi Yuke countered: "You old witch, keep dreaming. Whether my marriage ends or not is not up to you. I will never divorce; I will wear you down until you die, leaving the Sheng Family without descendants. All of this is what you owe me..."

After Bai Xue was driven away, Shi Yuke threw herself into Jiang Yadan's arms and cried bitterly: "Sob, sob, sob... Mom, what should I do? Now the money is gone and my home is gone too. It's all Shi Youxuan's fault, it's all her fault!"

Sheng Hanyu Villa.

Sheng Hanyu had been standing by the window looking out for three hours already. Why hadn't she returned yet?

Shi Youxuan had been gone for three hours, but the round trip from home to the Sheng Family Mansion alone would take two hours. He didn't care about that; his mind was entirely filled with the fact that his little woman had been away from him for three hours, and he missed her!

He was in love.

Not the kind with a three-month expiration date, but a true love. Sheng Hanyu realized from the bottom of his heart that he had truly fallen in love with this quirky little woman.

He wanted to be with her forever, never separating for even a moment. If they were apart for even a little while, he couldn't get anything done.

Even though he knew she was followed by the best bodyguards and the Sheng Family wouldn't dare to do anything to her openly, he was still worried and simply couldn't control it.

"Beep-beep—"

His phone rang; it was the person he had been thinking about.

Sheng Hanyu's fingers trembled slightly with excitement, and it took two tries before he hit the answer button—"Sheng Hanyu, I won a total victory! Praise me, hurry up and praise me..."

A vibrant, joyful voice came from the other end, and the heart he had been holding in his throat finally settled.

Sheng Hanyu listened quietly to the woman chattering away: "... You didn't see it, oh my, those people's faces all turned green, hahahahaha..."

A very pleasant voice, exceptionally joyful.

He just listened without speaking, and after the woman had talked for a long time, she finally realized: "Hey, are you listening?"

"I'm listening."

"Sheng Hanyu—"

The little woman was no longer excitedly rambling; her voice was low and incredibly aggrieved: "I'm hungry."

"Zhang Ma—"

Sheng Hanyu didn't even hang up the phone; he immediately shouted for the housekeeper, telling her to go to the kitchen and have the chef prepare food, the more the better.

When Shi Youxuan arrived home, the large dining table was filled with the food she liked. Sheng Hanyu sat beside her, peeling shrimp for her, dipping each one in sauce, and placing it in her bowl.

Occasionally, she would open her mouth to eat the shrimp directly from his hand, then kiss his face with her oily little mouth: "You're so good."

Sheng Hanyu smiled without a word, carefully removing the bones from the fish and placing a plate of it in front of her.

"Don't just look after me, you eat too."

She divided half a plate of fish for him, which Shi Youxuan called: Sharing the blessings!

It was just that this "blessing" was something he couldn't enjoy; the fish was saltwater fish, and he was allergic to all seafood, but Shi Youxuan didn't know that. She thought Sheng Hanyu didn't eat seafood simply because he didn't like it.

The housekeeper had looked after Sheng Hanyu since he was a child and knew this very well. Seeing half a plate of fish being moved into the Eldest Young Master's bowl, and seeing him about to eat it, she hurriedly stopped him: "Eldest Young Master, you cannot eat that; you are allergic to seafood."

Unfortunately, the intervention was a bit late; he had already taken a large bite.

"It's fine, the allergy was a childhood thing; maybe I'm better now." After saying this, to comfort Shi Youxuan, he took another large bite, and basically, that half plate of fish was finished.

Shi Youxuan was a little worried: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were allergic to seafood. Is it really okay? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"It's fine, eat your meal."

Sheng Hanyu gave the housekeeper a look, signaling her to leave, not wanting her to say anything else that would make the little woman worry.

However, some things do not cease to exist just because one is not worried about them!

In the middle of the night, Sheng Hanyu was woken up by an itch; it felt as if ten thousand ants were crawling all over his body, an unbearable, strange itch.

He was having an allergic reaction after all.

His problem with seafood allergies had not disappeared as he grew up; it was so uncomfortable!

Sheng Hanyu wanted to get up to find some anti-allergy medicine to take, but Shi Youxuan was hugging him like an octopus, sleeping soundly, so he dared not move.

Since returning from their last trip, Shi Youxuan no longer hugged Zai Zai when sleeping at night, but had changed to hugging Sheng Hanyu instead.

Hugging him to sleep gave her a greater sense of security, and now the little woman was sleeping very soundly—gritting her teeth, talking in her sleep, and smacking her lips!

Sheng Hanyu could not bear to disturb her sweet dream, yet his own body was becoming itchier and itchier; not only was it itchy, but when he touched it with his hand, there were slight bumps—he must have broken out in hives.

Except for Sheng Hanyu himself, no one knew how he had managed to endure this night!
