Chapter 1523: Good Times, Turning into Memories 3

Zihan asked in surprise: "Why are you still at home? Don't you know that Qi Shishi is getting on a plane to A Country today?"

"I know." He was very calm.

"Holy cow! You really are cold-blooded enough; your girlfriend is going abroad and you won't even see her off..."

Zirui slapped him on the head: "Speak more carefully. When will you ever fix your habit of spouting nonsense?"

"What girlfriend? Are you saying I don't have enough trouble as it is?"

"Fine, I'm wrong, I apologize! I'm in the wrong, I'm bad, I'm guilty, I'll reflect..." Zihan apologized as easily as eating or drinking; he was long used to it.

But after apologizing, he still couldn't understand Zirui's thinking, and chased after him to ask what he was actually thinking.

Did he like Qi Shishi or not?

"Can't you have something else in your brain? All day long it's just 'like' or 'not like,' can't you be a bit more ambitious?" Zirui glanced at Zihan, his gaze full of disdain.

"Fine, you fill your brain with national affairs. You're ambitious and I'm not, and I don't envy you for having such great ambition..." Zihan huffed and went out.

He felt Zirui was too cold-blooded; this person probably didn't have a heart.

Whether Zirui looked like he didn't feel a bit of sadness on the surface, or if he felt the same way inside, only he himself knew.

But to say he didn't have a heart was truly wronging him!

He just didn't like to wear his emotions on his face or show them in the open.

Qi Shishi had left, and the Sheng Family welcomed another matter.

It was clearly work hours, yet Shi Ran had returned to her maiden home!

Shi Youxuan asked: "What's wrong? Don't tell me something has happened again."

"Don't be nervous, it's a good thing for you. Yuan Li wants the child back, and I agreed."

"Who is Yuan Li?"

For a moment, Shi Youxuan didn't react.

"It's Black Widow, Shi Yuan's biological mother."

"You could have just said Black Widow; why use her real name? It's a wonder I could even remember." Shi Youxuan glared at her daughter: "If you're reluctant, then don't let her take him back. Who are you putting on that unwilling, reluctant face for?"

"I'm not playing the victim, I'm worried about Shi Yuan. You know what his biological mother is like; she's not responsible for the child at all."

"Hmph! You're responsible? You pushed the child onto me, is that you being responsible? Compared to his biological mother, how much better are you? I think you're both the same type of person."

Shi Ran:...

Her mother was right; she wasn't much better than Black Widow, and she was equally irresponsible toward her son.

"Look at you, I already agreed to give Shi Yuan back to her, and you're still saying this to me? I feel bad, can't you comfort me?" Shi Ran acted like a spoiled child.

"Hmph! You're clearly the one in the wrong, yet you're still arguing? The older you get, the less ambitious you are. I don't know where the cleverness you had as a child went..."

As his wife complained about their daughter, Sheng Hanyu felt a bit unable to bear it, thinking his wife was being too harsh.

So he tried to smooth things over, saying to his wife: "Alright, stop scolding her. Ranran is an adult now, give her some face; the younger siblings are all watching."

"It's precisely because I give her too much face that she's become so willful and reckless, doing whatever she wants without ever thinking of others!"

"A loud drum doesn't need a heavy hammer to be struck."

"If you don't say it's heavy, she'll never know she's wrong..."

Sheng Hanyu "brought fire upon himself," successfully using his own strength to draw all of Shi Youxuan's anger onto himself.

Black Widow took Shi Yuan away.

One week later.

Early morning.

Shi Youxuan suddenly screamed and woke up from a nightmare.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with you, having a nightmare again?" Sheng Hanyu turned on the light.

"Mm."

"I won't go to the company tomorrow; I'll accompany you to the hospital for a check-up." Since Shi Yuan left, his wife had been having nightmares almost every day for a week straight, something that had never happened before.

"I'm fine, it was just a nightmare, why go to the hospital? No need!" Her pajamas were soaked, and her forehead was covered in sweat.

"I'm going to walk in the hallway, you go to sleep."

She didn't tell her husband that she had dreamed of Shi Yuan again. She didn't know what was going on, but she could dream of Shi Yuan every day, and in the dreams, he wasn't doing well.

In her dreams, Shi Yuan was being abused by his biological mother!

In reality, she knew this was impossible, but she kept having such dreams, and she didn't know why.

"I'll go with you."

"No need, you sleep. You have to work tomorrow. I'll go out to get some air and be back in a while."

Shi Youxuan went to the hallway and called Black Widow.

"Why are you looking for me?"

"Is Shi Yuan okay?"

"That's a funny thing to say. Of course my son is fine staying with his biological mother. He eats well, drinks well, and plays well..."

Black Widow suddenly changed the subject: "Do you have something going on?"

Shi Youxuan said: "I'm fine, I just wanted to see the child."

"I'm busy. The child is at home. When I get home, I'll let you video call."

Black Widow didn't know where she was; it was very noisy.

"You are the child's mother. He is still so young, you should take better care of him. Yuanyuan is a child who lacks love."

"I find you really interesting. How I handle my own son, do I need you to manage me?" Black Widow retorted.

Shi Youxuan retorted, "You really don't know what's good for you. Shi Yuan calls me Grandma, so I'm only telling you this out of concern for him. If it were you, do you think I'd even know who you are?"

She wouldn't listen when spoken to nicely, but when not spoken to nicely, Black Widow listened.

"Fine, I'll go back now."

Black Widow was not entirely unreasonable.

She prepared to go home, and the handsome blonde, blue-eyed man beside her was reluctant to let her go, attempting to persuade her to stay: "Beautiful, are you really leaving just like that?"

"That's right, let's meet up next time."

When Black Widow arrived home, her car drove through the gate and she saw the nanny who looked after the child chatting; only upon seeing her car did the nanny run into the room.

The car stopped, and Black Widow got out with a dark expression: "Where is the young master?"

"The, the young master is in the room."

It had been agreed that the young master would be looked after 24 hours a day, but the nanny had been feigning compliance; as it turned out, Shi Youxuan was right—things were different when she was home versus when she was away.

Black Widow pushed open the door to the children's room, but her son was not there.

"Jack, Jack, where are you?" Jack was Shi Yuan's English name.

She pushed open one door after another, but did not see anyone.

Everyone in the entire Villa was in a state of chaos, searching for the child upstairs and downstairs, but after searching the whole house, they could not find him!

Black Widow was furious and desperate, ordering, "Go out and search! Everyone go and find the young master! If any harm comes to him, I will have your lives!"

The servants were also panicked; everyone went out to search together, and finally discovered him on a small path not far from the house.

Shi Yuan was walking on the path alone, crying as he walked; he wanted to go home and did not want to stay here!

He wanted to return to his grandmother's house, the home where Yueyue was.

The servant tried to take him back: "Young master, why did you run out alone? Come back with me quickly."

"I won't! I want to go home!" He struggled, unwilling to return to his mother's house.

But he was too small and lacked the strength, so in the end, he was carried back anyway.
