Chapter 151: Sheng Yukai Receives a Great Shock

Bai Xue wanted to take Yuke back immediately, but Jiang Yadan refused to allow it under any circumstances, telling Bai Xue that her daughter would absolutely not be leaving with her.

Yuke would divorce Sheng Yukai and completely sever ties with their Sheng Family!

Bai Xue had already anticipated this outcome before coming, so she had come prepared; she calmly handed several sheets of paper to Jiang Yadan.

After reading them, Jiang Yadan's expression changed, and her tone was no longer as resolute as it had been just a moment ago.

On them were a record of bank transfers, as well as the shares, position, and salary Yuke held in the Sheng Clan.

Although they were just numbers, Jiang Yadan knew what they represented, and they all had dates and times on them; it turned out her daughter had obtained so much money in such a short time—no wonder she wouldn't leave the Sheng Family; if it were her, she wouldn't leave either!

"Has the in-law eaten yet? I'll have the servants make something fresh; it's just simple fare, but please don't mind it," her attitude shifted immediately.

"No need, I've already eaten before coming; the house can't be without Yuke for even a moment, and since I see the in-law is in no serious condition, I'll take Yuke back now."

Bai Xue had her bodyguard give the gifts to Jiang Yadan.

A set of top-tier international cosmetics, as well as jewelry, sea cucumber, Blood Bird's Nest, and more.

The gifts were of great value, and Jiang Yadan was grinning from ear to ear; the little bit of persistence she had originally held was now gone, and she let them go readily.

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left, Jiang Yadan put the gifts away and hid them before going to the Study to find her husband.

The father and daughter were chatting very happily; she hadn't even reached the doorway before she heard laughter coming from inside!

Jiang Yadan hurried in: "Yu Cheng, Yuke has been taken back by her mother-in-law."

"Let her go back if she wants."

There was no expected outburst, not even much of a reaction; he just said it indifferently and continued the previous topic with Shi Youxuan.

Jiang Yadan was both angry and anxious.

She was angry that her husband was biased, ignoring his own biological daughter while treating the adopted one like a treasure.

She was anxious that the two were chatting so congenially—that dead girl better not say anything she shouldn't!

She stood between the father and daughter without leaving, and without speaking, just standing there like a block of wood.

Shi Yucheng was displeased: "Do you still have something?"

"No."

Even though she said she had nothing, she wouldn't leave anyway; Shi Youxuan knew exactly what she was thinking without even looking.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, glancing sideways at Jiang Yadan with a half-smile: "Mom, you aren't leaving because you want to talk to me about Daobalian, right..."

"No, no!"

Jiang Yadan immediately shrank back; it was truly a case of fearing what might happen—this dead girl didn't give her any face at all, bringing up Daobalian directly in front of Shi Yucheng.

Sure enough, Shi Yucheng was puzzled: "Which Daobalian... oh, that mahjong friend of yours? What happened to him?"

The whole world knew about Shi Youxuan being kidnapped by Daobalian, except for Shi Yucheng.

Jiang Yadan and her daughter certainly wouldn't bring it up voluntarily, and Shi Youxuan hadn't mentioned it either because she didn't want her father to worry, so such a big event had been kept from him perfectly.

"Daobalian, he..."

Shi Youxuan spoke slowly, and just as she started, Jiang Yadan "thumped" down to sit in front of her: "Xuan, Xuanxuan, you didn't eat much earlier, are you hungry?"

She asked if she was "hungry," but her eyes were pleading with her not to continue.

"What happened to him?" Shi Yucheng urged when he saw his daughter didn't continue.

Shi Youxuan continued: "He went to Prison, Mom didn't tell you? It was for kidnapping."

She helped Jiang Yadan up from the floor and "concernedly" asked: "Are you not feeling well? Why is there so much sweat on your face? Do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up, or should you go back to your room to rest for a while?"

Jiang Yadan wasn't at ease letting the father and daughter continue chatting, so she took the opportunity to have her husband help her back to her room; as long as she got to the room, she would have a way to keep her husband there and not let him go out.

Shi Youxuan was perfectly clear about this little scheme of hers; she hadn't intended to do anything to Jiang Yadan at this moment anyway, just scaring her a little was enough to keep her in check.

"Dad, please take care of your health and don't overwork yourself; if anything happens, call me, I'm heading home." Shi Youxuan said goodbye, and only then did the heart Jiang Yadan had been holding finally settle back into her chest.

The sentence Shi Youxuan said to Shi Yucheng at the critical moment was: Sister is currently in the Sheng Clan's management, in an important position.

Shi Yucheng had spent his whole life wishing to run his business well, but he just couldn't do it.

Hearing that his eldest daughter was in the Sheng Clan's management running the company, rather than just acting as a nanny for Sheng Yukai, his full-blown anger vanished in an instant.

In this family, the person who understood him best was still his adopted daughter Shi Youxuan; other people's intentions were all just caring more about themselves!

Bai Xue had coaxed and tricked Yuke into coming back, but she said one thing and did another; that very afternoon, she cancelled her position at the company.

She used the excuse of being heartbroken because she was too tired, telling Yuke to do only one thing—take care of Sheng Yukai and exert less effort.

Yuke knew her mother-in-law was guarding against her, afraid that she would use her authority to reap benefits and return to her maiden home without coming back; her father had done a bad thing with good intentions—if he hadn't suddenly come to the hospital to pick her up, these complications wouldn't have happened.

She was incredibly anxious; she had finally managed to get into the company, but it had only been a few days before she was kicked out; how would she sell data for money in the future, and how would she fill up her bank card?

Yuke found a chance to contact Shi Youxuan, asking her to quickly think of a way to get her back into the company!

This was no small matter; every time she sold data to Shi Youxuan, she would pay Yuke extra.

Having tasted the sweetness, now that it was suddenly gone, Yuke was incredibly anxious.

Shi Youxuan was actually not in a hurry; she could hack into the Sheng Clan's internal network, so even if Yuke didn't give her the data, it wouldn't take any effort for her to obtain it.

The reason she paid her, and paid extra, was not for the data itself, but to let Yuke taste the sweetness and make her do more useful things.

Sure enough, the opportunity came.

Shi Youxuan said: "Don't be anxious, there are plenty of opportunities to make money; selling data isn't the only path. Sheng Yukai has been in a coma for several days, right? It's about time he woke up..."

Yuke turned her sorrow into joy, suddenly enlightened.

Two days later, Sheng Yukai finally woke up.

"Husband, husband, you're awake? That's great, husband, do you know how worried I was about you, sob, sob, sob..." Yuke gripped Sheng Yukai's hand tightly, crying very sadly, with genuine emotion.

Bai Xue glared at her with dissatisfaction: "It's a good thing he's awake, why are you crying? Go call the doctor to come and check on A Kai."

Sending her daughter-in-law away, she took the opportunity to sow discord, saying that Yuke seemed to have ulterior motives, that she hadn't stopped scraping money into her own pockets these past few days and even wanted power, telling her son to be more cautious and guard against Yuke in the future, so he wouldn't be sold and still help the other person count the money...

Sheng Yukai stared at the ceiling with dull eyes; his mother said a great deal, but in reality, he heard much and remembered little; now his mind was filled with the scene of that fierce man before he fell into a coma, using a knife to slash at his face!

It was too terrifying.

Terror appeared in his eyes, his whole body was trembling, and his emotions became increasingly agitated; by the time Bai Xue noticed the abnormality, it was already too late.

"Ah—"

"Ahhh—"

Sheng Yukai screamed and yelled, waving his hands and feet desperately as if trying to grab something, but he could grab nothing.

"Kai, A Kai, what is wrong with you? Don't scare Mom..."

Bai Xue went to grab his hand, but was slapped across the face, immediately letting out a miserable shriek.

The bodyguards heard the commotion and rushed in, scrambling to restrain Sheng Yukai.

He stared at these people with terrified eyes, unable to move his hands or feet, and could only let out beast-like howls from his throat!
