Chapter 142: The Consequences of Being Angry Are Very Serious

~9 min read 1,697 words

Sheng Hanyu Villa.

In the bedroom.

The ointment Shi Youxuan took out was very effective; it felt much better after applying it.

It was just that while the rash from the allergy had been treated, it had also stirred up the fire in Sheng Hanyu's heart. Coupled with the good news Lao Qi brought, he kept his word—as soon as he returned, he devoured Shi Youxuan completely, unable to wait until nightfall.

When the housekeeper came up to knock on the door, Sheng Hanyu knelt on the bed to apologize: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I definitely won't do this next time. Please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Shi Youxuan's way of being angry wasn't as simple as sulking or crying; she wanted to punish Sheng Hanyu by not letting him touch her for a week.

A real man can be killed but not humiliated; he firmly refused!

Sheng Hanyu's method of resistance was to maintain a proper attitude, apologize, and strive to reduce the punishment or change the method of punishment.

Just at this moment, the housekeeper came over to knock on the door: "Knock, knock, knock."

She had steeled herself to come up; the young couple had been locked in the room for most of the day without coming out. The housekeeper was an experienced person and knew what was going on inside.

She was happy to see it happen and even prayed to the Bodhisattva to let the Eldest Young Mistress conceive quickly and give birth to a son for the Eldest Young Master soon.

But Shi Yuke had arrived, saying she had something important to discuss with the Eldest Young Mistress.

The Eldest Young Mistress had given instructions a few days ago that if Shi Yuke came here to find her, no one was allowed to stop her and she should be announced immediately.

That was why she came up to announce: "Eldest Young Mistress, Eldest Miss Shi is here and says she has something important to discuss with you."

"Got it, I'll be down in a moment."

Shi Youxuan prepared to put on her clothes, but her arm was grabbed by Sheng Hanyu, who wouldn't let her dress, taking the opportunity to set conditions: "You promise me to change the method of punishment, otherwise I won't let you go downstairs."

"Sheng Hanyu, how can you be like this?" Shi Youxuan was simply speechless.

This guy usually looked more serious than anyone, yet he took the opportunity to set conditions at a time like this. He had no sense of the big picture at all, which was so different from his usual image.

"How about this."

The man said with a straight face: "Punish me by peeling shrimp and crabs for you for a month."

"Fine, fine, fine, we'll do as you say." Shi Youxuan compromised.

Sheng Hanyu leaped off the bed and took the initiative to curry favor: "I'll help you get dressed."

Calling it helping, in reality, he was taking advantage of the situation to get some perks, and it was even slower with his help.

Shi Yuke had been sitting in the living room for twenty minutes when the person who said she would be down immediately finally walked down gracefully: "Do you have something to find me for?"

She sat lazily opposite Shi Yuke, wearing no makeup, yet her face was radiant and her skin was white with a rosy glow.

The housekeeper served a bowl of Blood Bird's Nest: "Eldest Young Mistress, eat it while it's hot; it's been kept warm in the pot the whole time."

Blood Bird's Nest, Shi Yuke was green with envy.

In the Sheng Family, let alone Blood Bird's Nest, even ordinary White Bird's Nest was something Bai Xue would hide and be reluctant to give her, making her eat Silver Ear Rock Sugar Soup instead, and even beautifying it by saying: the nutritional value is all the same.

Sure enough, life without a mother-in-law was comfortable. Shi Yuke was envious; she also wanted to be the one in charge. Next time she remarried, she must find a family without a mother-in-law.

She had come this time to ask for money, intending to get back the 150 million she had given, and then file for divorce from Sheng Yukai.

After the divorce, she would ask the Sheng Family for a sum of alimony. With this money and the Villa and jewelry Sheng Yukai had bought for her, her quality of life wouldn't be too bad for the rest of her life even if she didn't marry into a wealthy family.

By then, she would also eat Blood Bird's Nest every day—two bowls!

The Blood Bird's Nest that Shi Yuke was green with envy over was actually being shunned by Shi Youxuan. She pushed it away and begged the housekeeper with a bitter face: "I don't want to drink it. I eat this stuff every day, it's not tasty at all."

"Eldest Young Mistress, this is Blood Bird's Nest that the Eldest Young Master specially sent people to Indonesia to carefully select. If you don't eat it, wouldn't that hurt his heart? Just eat it, it's only such a small bowl, it'll be gone in two or three bites..." The housekeeper coaxed Shi Youxuan as if she were a child.

She finally took it and swallowed it with a bitter face. After finishing, she complained to Shi Yuke: "How can anyone in the world like this stuff? It doesn't taste good and it sells for so much; it's too unreasonable... By the way, what do you want with me?"

Shi Yuke's nose was almost crooked with anger. Jealousy twisted her heart; she had just been staring straight at Shi Youxuan, wishing she would choke to death.

Why?

Why was it that things she couldn't bear to buy and longed for were easily available to her, yet were being shunned?

Shi Yuke believed that Shi Youxuan was absolutely doing it on purpose, deliberately showing off her wealth in front of her, to the point that she even temporarily forgot the purpose of her visit.

Reminded by Shi Youxuan, she finally remembered and said to her: "I came to ask when you are planning to return my money?"

Shi Youxuan knew she would come to ask for this money sooner or later, and she had even arrived a bit later than she had expected. She was prepared, but on the surface, she deliberately showed a look of surprise: "Do you have money with me? How come I don't know? Why don't you remind me, what money?"

Shi Yuke almost spat out a mouthful of old blood and said angrily: "Shi Youxuan, don't go too far. You took 150 million from me for nothing and made me unable to hold my head up in my in-laws' house. You've taken all the advantages and are still afraid of losing out; is it interesting to play the victim after profiting?"

Shi Youxuan was well-prepared and spoke just as forcefully: "You say I took 150 million from you for nothing, do you have evidence? Without evidence, be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation."

"Of course I have evidence, I have the transfer records as proof," Shi Yuke said.

Shi Youxuan smiled brightly: "Oh, transfer records... I also have the evidence you wrote with your own hands. When the time comes, we'll take them both to court and see whose is more effective."

Shi Yuke instantly deflated. She knew that if it really went to court, she definitely wouldn't get any advantage, and she didn't want to make this matter known to everyone. This money hadn't been obtained honorably and couldn't be brought out into the open.

But she couldn't just watch the money be given away and not get it back. No matter what happened today, she had to get the money back, even if it meant a mutual destruction!

Everything she was thinking was seen through by Shi Youxuan without a trace of emotion.

Shi Youxuan took the initiative and said indignantly: "I went to your house to give a gift out of the kindness of my heart. Who knew you would be so clever as to use such a large sum of money to impersonate my name as a gift? Do you know how difficult you made things for me by doing that?"

"If this matter gets spread around, what will I do when Ze Rong gets married in the future? Should I also use this much money as a gift?"

Shi Yuke felt it was unfair: "I am your sister, how can Sheng Zerong compare to me?"

Shi Youxuan sneered: "Now you remember you're my sister? Why didn't you say that when you made me marry in your place? Why didn't you say you were my sister when you called me a fool from childhood to adulthood?"

She was speechless for a moment, regretting that she had gone too far at the time and hadn't left herself any room for retreat, and now she was at a loss for words.

Shi Youxuan said: "Forget it, let's not talk about the things between you and me first. Hanyu's feelings for Ze Rong are not something your Sheng Yukai can compare to. When the time comes, what I give can only be more than what I gave you, not less. With your standard as a benchmark, what do you want me to do then? How much money should I give as a gift? Will you add the extra part for me?"

Shi Yuke's face was almost turning the color of a pig's liver. She had come to ask for money, but following this line of reasoning, she would have to pay her a few hundred million more?

Shi Yuke regretted it so much. She regretted not seeing that the fool would be so smart, with more tricks up her sleeve than a sieve; she had actually let her play the fool for so many years.

Regret was useless; it was too late to say anything now. However, she was still unwilling to let 150 million just be taken away like that; her heart was bleeding with pain.
