Chapter 1468: Snatching Shi Yuan

Although Mother-in-law used a persuasive tone, Shi Ran could tell that Mother-in-law truly wanted to return Shi Yuan to Black Widow!

She did not blame Mother-in-law; in terms of both emotion and reason, Mother-in-law was not wrong, but she could not accept it and insisted on keeping Shi Yuan, even if the chances of winning the lawsuit were slim, she would use all her strength.

Shi Ran spent the whole afternoon making phone calls, contacting the Lüshi, and analyzing the win rate.

Ma Ling'er saw it in her eyes and felt anxious in her heart.

How could this be allowed?

Her daughter-in-law had finally conceived with great difficulty, and the pregnancy was initially unstable; now that it had finally stabilized, she was going to fight a lawsuit for a child who was not of her own bloodline.

Since she could not persuade her herself, she let her son do it.

As a result, the son did not go to persuade his wife, but instead persuaded her.

Qi Tian massaged his mother's shoulders and back, grinning as he said, "Mom, don't worry, your grandson is doing just fine in your daughter-in-law's belly, there are no problems at all. Isn't everyone into prenatal education now? I see no use in other people's children listening to Mozart or Beethoven for prenatal education."

"Look at your grandson, doing prenatal education by fighting a lawsuit! He has quite the style of my maternal grandmother's family; this can be considered a kind of inheritance. You didn't pass it on in your generation, so your grandson will do it for you in the future. You'll have something to say when you burn incense at the ancestors' graves..."

"Get out!"

Ma Ling'er kicked at her son, but missed and didn't hit him.

Her son was glib and only said what sounded good, but in reality, he still wanted to help his wife.

She knew everything, but she also knew that her son would not help her, so she had to find outside help!

Thus, she found her daughter-in-law's mother, Shi Youxuan.

After listening, Shi Youxuan frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Actually, if you do nothing, you will get the best result. Shi Ran will lose this lawsuit one hundred percent, why do you care what she does?"

Ma Ling'er said, "Of course I know she will lose, but a lawsuit isn't something that can be finished in a day or two. During this period of planning, finding a Lüshi, and so on, there are many things to worry about; she won't eat or sleep well, which is not good for the fetus."

"Besides, after the lawsuit is lost and Shi Yuan is taken away, Ranran will definitely worry and get upset. Seeing her months of pregnancy getting bigger and bigger, I'm worried..."

Shi Youxuan: "Then what do you want me to do?"

Ma Ling'er was straightforward: "I don't know, anyway, just make everything return to the peace before that woman arrived."

Shi Youxuan asked: "Don't you really want to send Shi Yuan away?"

"No, it doesn't matter if Shi Yuan is here or not, our Yun Family isn't short of this one child, why would you have such an idea?" Clearly, she had been the one conveying this idea before, but now she denied it entirely.

Shi Youxuan didn't need to ask to know that Yun Zhe Hao must have been whispering in her ear.

Ma Ling'er had a quick temper; on the surface, she was vigorous and decisive, and it seemed like she had the final say in family matters.

In reality, the true head of the Yun Family was still Yun Zhe Hao.

The impression Yun Zhe Hao left on everyone was that he was afraid of his wife, but he was the one who made the final decisions on major family matters.

"Alright, it doesn't matter what I think, but since your family has reached a consensus, this matter is easy to handle. Leave it to me."

Shi Youxuan agreed immediately and asked her daughter to return to her maiden home.

Both the daughter and son-in-law returned.

Although she had decided to help, it was better to make some things clear.

"Ranran, I heard you are going to fight a lawsuit against Black Widow? Liu Min told me a piece of gossip that the Lüshi Black Widow hired is world-famous."

Shi Ran didn't care: "So what? No matter how famous the Lüshi she hires is, it's useless. To fight a lawsuit in Jiangzhou, one must abide by the laws of Jiangzhou. I will use all my strength to win the lawsuit and keep my son by my side."

She kept calling Shi Yuan her son and insisted on fighting a lawsuit against his biological mother. Shi Youxuan was worried that her son-in-law would be unhappy, so she secretly observed Yun Qitian and, seeing that he didn't show the slightest sign of unhappiness, she finally felt relieved.

Shi Youxuan wanted to talk to her daughter alone, so she gave her husband a wink.

Her husband understood and said to his son-in-law: "Qitian, come to the Study with me. I just acquired a set of early Qing Dynasty official kiln porcelain; help me see if it's real?"

Yun Qitian had a wide range of hobbies, including antique calligraphy and paintings.

"Alright, I'll go take a look with you." Qitian went to the Study with his father-in-law.

That set of official kiln porcelain must be real, and after authentication, Sheng Hanyu would definitely give it to him.

Now that there were only mother and daughter in the room, Shi Youxuan didn't need to avoid anything and directly criticized her daughter: "I think you are living more foolishly as you get older. Where did your childhood cleverness go? Did you get water in your brain to fight a lawsuit against the biological mother?"

"Tell me the truth, is it that you still can't forget that person in your heart?"

Shi Ran denied it: "No, the person I love most is my husband, and that will never change in this lifetime. That person has already been turned over; don't keep bringing him up for no reason."

"I keep bringing him up?" Shi Youxuan was furious and lowered her voice to yell at her: "If you hadn't insisted on adopting his posthumous child back then, would I have brought him up?"

"That person is an ingrate, and Black Widow has an even blacker heart. Can a child born to those two be any good? If you don't listen to your elders, you'll suffer for it sooner or later."

Shi Youxuan called herself an "elder," which Shi Ran found very incongruous.

Her mother dressed up a little, and now when the mother and daughter went out together, outsiders couldn't tell who was older!

They say time is kind to beauties, but it seemed as if time had forgotten her mother; there were simply no traces of time on her.

Thinking this, Shi Ran reached out to touch her mother's face: "I don't see you being particularly particular about the skincare products you use, how is your skin maintained so well?"

Shi Youxuan brushed her daughter's hand away and said crossly: "My skin is good, it has nothing to do with what skincare products I use. The main credit goes to having a good daughter who makes me angry every day so I don't have to smile, and wrinkles don't grow on my face."

Shi Ran:...

She had originally wanted to ease the atmosphere and said something casually, but instead, she was mocked.

Shi Youxuan earnestly persuaded her daughter to let go, saying that flesh that isn't your own won't stick to your body.

Now was the best time to let go.

Shi Yuan was still young and would adapt more easily to his biological mother, and she had her own biological child in her belly, so she wouldn't feel too empty...

Even though Shi Youxuan was about to wear her lips out, Shi Ran did not relent and stuck to her decision—no matter who opposed it, it was useless; Shi Yuan was her son, and no one could take him away.

Finally, Shi Youxuan compromised.

She finally understood why Ma Ling'er had said those words.

If even she, the biological mother, couldn't persuade her daughter, then the mother-in-law had even less persuasive power!

Shi Ran's temper and personality were like her father's, and her stubbornness was entirely inherited from Sheng Hanyu; as long as it was something she wanted to accomplish, no matter how many difficulties there were, she could only think of how to overcome them, and the word "retreat" never existed.

"I'll help you keep Shi Yuan by your side," Shi Youxuan said.

"Really?"

Shi Ran was pleasantly surprised; she hugged her mother and acted spoiled: "Mom is truly the best, Mom is the best to me; I knew that when you asked me to come, it wouldn't just be to persuade me..."
