Chapter 1407: Deep Schemes and Strong Self-Esteem

A young girl having a few little schemes is harmless.

But what Lu Feifei has done is not just a little scheme; her goals are clear, and she has racked her brains and stopped at nothing to achieve them.

Shi Youxuan could never accept a girl like this.

"Auntie, did you have something to see me about?"

"Yes, I do."

"I came to talk to you about my two sons. Zichen likes cooking and is very popular with girls. With a personality like his, he is destined to be liked by many girls, but up until now, he hasn't had one steady girl he likes. I think it's because the person who would move his heart hasn't appeared yet..."

As Shi Youxuan spoke, she was secretly observing Lu Feifei's reaction.

She had no reaction; her expression was very indifferent.

Shi Youxuan changed the subject, turning to Litian: "Litian has been a man of few words since he was little, but he is loyal and devoted. Once he sets his mind on something or someone, he doesn't change easily..."

Lu Feifei suddenly interrupted: "Auntie, I don't like Litian."

"If you don't like him, why did you become his girlfriend?"

She was stumped by the question and stopped answering.

This reason was hard to voice; after all, using people is not honorable.

"Fine, if you won't say it, then I'll answer for you. You want to use Litian to make Zichen jealous, right? You want to see if Zichen gets jealous or not?"

"I can give you the answer: Zichen isn't jealous, but Litian has truly taken you into his heart..."

Shi Youxuan told Lu Feifei that if she truly wanted to date Litian in earnest, she wouldn't care about whether their families were well-matched.

But if she wanted to use one of her sons to test her other son, she would never agree to her associating with either of them!

Shi Youxuan also said that if Lu Feifei had difficulties, she could come to her, and she shouldn't hurt her son's feelings for a little bit of money!

Lu Feifei refused, crying.

She emphasized that she didn't need financial help from the Sheng Family, and that she didn't like Zichen because his family was rich. If that were the case, being with Litian would be the same... but liking is liking, and not liking is not liking!

Shi Youxuan had no time to argue with a young girl over the question of "liking" or "not liking."

She stood up and ended the conversation: "Zichen doesn't like you, but that's just how he is; he feels that telling you to your face would hurt your self-esteem, so I am relaying it for him."

"That's all. I wish you happiness."

She left the coffee shop, and Lu Feifei neither pestered her nor said goodbye.

When Shi Youxuan arrived home, Yueyue was so sleepy her eyelids were fighting each other, but she was forcing herself to stay awake. Seeing her mother, she immediately perked up and shouted anxiously: "Back, back, find brother."

The little one hadn't had enough fun at the Resort at all.

"Alright, we'll go back."

Shi Youxuan picked up her little daughter and got into the RV, telling the driver to head back.

The drive was slow because Yueyue had fallen asleep. The tiny person was curled up in the quilt, and her chubby little face was something one could never get enough of looking at.

Shi Youxuan leaned over beside her daughter, staring at her without blinking.

A little person this age is the most adorable.

Carefree, innocent, and lively.

If only children wouldn't grow up, and stayed this size forever... phew, phew, phew! No wild thoughts allowed.

As she thought about it, she fell asleep too.

Shi Youxuan was woken up by the ringing of her phone. The call was from her sons, who asked with concern if their sister had gone back to get toys?

Or was she feeling unwell?

If their sister was unwell, they didn't want to play anymore either; they wanted to go home immediately to help their mother take care of their sister. They couldn't let her be the only one staying home with her sister while they were out playing!

This phone call made Shi Youxuan feel especially warmed.

Her sons had truly grown up; they were very warm!

She told her sons to rest assured and keep playing at the Resort, not to overthink it. Their sister wasn't feeling unwell; she had just gone back to get toys, and they were already on their way back after getting them.

When Shi Youxuan returned to the Resort, she acted as if nothing had happened.

Her sons didn't think much of it either, except for Zichen, who looked at her a couple of extra times.

That night, after the couple returned to their room and closed the door, Shi Youxuan naturally wouldn't hide the fact that she had gone to see Lu Feifei from her husband.

She told her husband everything, including why she went to see Lu Feifei and what was said during the meeting!

Sheng Hanyu asked: "Won't doing this be gilding the lily? What if Lu Feifei adds fuel to the fire and tells Zichen about this, causing him to become rebellious?"

He didn't understand other people's children, but he understood his own son quite well.

Zichen and Zihan, the two brothers, looked similar in personality on the surface, but the differences were not small.

Zihan was slick and worldly, lacked a firm stance, was easily swayed, and would give up on things he wasn't allowed to do.

But Zichen, while also glib and having strong communication skills on the surface, had a very strong rebellious streak. He would want to do exactly what he wasn't allowed to do, just like in this situation.

If the parents didn't get involved, perhaps nothing would have happened between him and Lu Feifei, but if Zichen found out that Shi Youxuan had gone to see Lu Feifei, he would feel a strong sense of sympathy for her, and they might actually end up together.

Her husband's worry was reasonable, but Shi Youxuan was very certain: "It won't happen. Lu Feifei won't look for our Zichen again, and she won't tell Zichen about my meeting with her."

She told her husband that the girl had extremely strong self-esteem and was different from those utilitarian girls.

For a girl like Lu Feifei, even if she did indeed consider Zichen's family background in her heart, she would never admit it. She would die before admitting that she liked Zichen for his money.

Shi Youxuan had offered to help her solve her financial difficulties.

This also indirectly explained that the two families were not well-matched, and that her liking Zichen would not receive the parents' blessing—not only would there be no blessing, but they would even oppose it.

Shi Youxuan's attitude was the needle that popped Lu Feifei's illusions!

It made her face reality, and reality wasn't just about "liking," especially when it was one-sided.

Just as Shi Youxuan had guessed, she silently disappeared from the lives of the two brothers.

This incident also had quite an impact on Zichen.

From then on, his attitude toward girls became much more cautious, and he wouldn't joke around with girls casually anymore.

After a brief period of depression, Litian gradually began to recover; Shi Youxuan watched this quietly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief!

……

Returning from the Resort, they had just arrived home.

Before she even had a chance to rest properly, Shi Yuke called: "Xuanxuan, your brother-in-law has run into trouble with the election. Can you come over and help him?"

"Sure, no problem, but I won't be coming alone; I'll have to bring my whole family along, so you'll have to provide the meals."

"I will, I will, I'll provide good food and drink and even help you look after the children. Is it a deal?"

"It's a deal."

And so, the luggage that had just been taken off the car was packed back in again.

Shi Youxuan brought her whole family and relocated entirely to the countryside!

Fortunately, the children were all on summer vacation at this time, so it made no difference where they went, and the boys actually preferred the countryside!
