Chapter 1573: No One Is Perfect

"Whether you like it or not is not important; what's important is that your son likes it. If you want to see your son more often in the future, then keep your dislike to yourself."

Shi Youxuan:...

She admitted that her husband was right, but it just felt very uncomfortable to hear.

"Hmph! Why are you siding with outsiders?"

"I'm not siding with outsiders; I'm doing it for the sake of family harmony and prosperity."

As he grew older, Sheng Hanyu felt more and more that what his grandfather said back then was right!

The Madam's expression still didn't look very good, so Sheng Hanyu comforted her: "Litian has never talked back; he has always been very easy for you to raise from childhood to adulthood. It is only right that you worry about him now. Children are all debts that must be repaid."

"Mm, you're right."

The Madam's expression indeed looked a bit better.

Sheng Hanyu said this, but he turned around and called Litian: "Why didn't you come back during the break? Your mother misses you."

"Dad, I'm in the car and will be back soon. I originally wanted to give you all a surprise, hehe, now the surprise is gone." Litian laughed honestly.

But his father didn't answer, and a "beep-beep" busy signal came from the phone.

The person beside him asked: "Is Uncle angry?"

Litian: "No, my dad is always like this. He hangs up once he's finished saying what he wants to say, without any extra nonsense."

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Litian was back, and the two of them came back together.

But the person who came back with him was not his girlfriend Lu Feifei, but Moli!

Moli had returned after changing his profession.

He was originally supposed to go home first, but he ran into Litian at the airport. The two talked very well, so they decided to visit the uncle and aunt first before going home.

Zichen exclaimed: "My god, Moli? How did you two end up together?"

"We met at the airport. Isn't that a coincidence? I'm here to greet everyone before going home."

"Does Aunt know you're back?"

"Of course she doesn't. I want to give her a surprise; if she knew, there wouldn't be a surprise."

Everyone had only spoken a few sentences when Shi Yuke came over.

Litian was back, so she came over to ask if there was anything she could help with, such as what to have for lunch.

In the courtyard, besides Litian, there was another young man.

He was handsome and refined, looking familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

"Litian, you don't know, your brother came back during the summer break but you didn't. Your mother almost wore our ears out; she misses you so much and talks about things from your childhood all day long..."

"I did not, don't talk nonsense." Shi Youxuan did not admit it.

The mother-in-law Wang Yinghao smiled and confirmed: "That's right, what his aunt said is correct; you are exactly like that."

Shi Youxuan:...

Litian and Moli greeted each other.

Moli followed Litian in calling her Aunt, and greeted her politely: "Hello, Aunt, I am..."

"You are Moli? That's right, you are Moli!"

Shi Yuke held back with all her might to keep her tears from falling.

"Yes, I am Moli. Have you met me before?"

Moli had already forgotten most of the things from his childhood.

He had met Shi Yuke a few times when he was little, but he hadn't seen her since, so he had no impression of her.

Shi Yuke stared blankly at the person in front of her, looking him over carefully.

This was the first child she had given birth to. In the blink of an eye, he was already this big. She hadn't seen him for many years and often thought of him, but she had no way to confide in anyone.

Between Moli's brows, there was a sense of refinement and strength. Jian Yixin had raised her son very well; he was more handsome and refined than his biological father and herself.

Shi Yuke stared at him without blinking, looking him up and down with tears in her eyes.

This abnormality was too obvious, so Moli asked politely: "Aunt, are you alright?"

She only then reacted.

She hurriedly covered it up: "I'm fine. I saw you when you were little, and in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed without seeing you. I'm just a bit emotional..."

She rummaged through her pockets in a flurry, wanting to give the child a gift.

But there was only some loose change in her pocket, nothing of commemorative value, so she took the bracelet off her wrist and shoved it into Moli's hand:

"It's our first time meeting; this is a welcome gift from your aunt."

Moli was startled.

This bracelet was pure gold; it looked very thick and felt heavy in his hand.

It was too valuable; he couldn't accept it.

Moli hurriedly tried to return it: "Aunt, this is too valuable, I can't accept it. Besides, it's not our first time meeting; didn't I meet you when I was little? There's no need for a welcome gift..."

"No, you must keep it. I give red envelopes to the others during holidays, but you never got one. Now I'm making up for it." Although Shi Yuke found an excuse, she insisted he accept it.

She racked her brains to find reasons, saying that all the children must be treated equally and that she had to keep the scales balanced!

Moli thought to himself that there are degrees of closeness among relatives, so why treat them all the same?

But the elders knew what was going on. Shi Youxuan could understand her sister's feelings, so she said to Moli: "Just take it since she gave it to you. This is the custom here; when in Rome, do as the Romans do."

Since the aunt had said so, Moli could only accept it reluctantly.

Having accepted such a valuable gift, he couldn't show no response at all.

He took a set of skincare products from the gifts he had prepared for his mother and gave them to Shi Yuke as a return gift: "Please accept this set of skincare products. I hope you don't find it too humble."

"Not humble at all, not humble at all. Thank you, thank you..." Shi Yuke accepted it happily.

Moli had originally intended to greet everyone at his uncle's house and then return home.

But Shi Yuke enthusiastically invited him to stay for a meal before leaving, and even said some inexplicable things, claiming that after this parting, they might never see each other again!

Shi Youxuan understood what she meant.

She was afraid that if Jian Yixin found out Moli had come here, she would never let him come over again in the future.

But the children were all confused, feeling that her words were inexplicable.

Moli stayed behind, and Shi Yuke cooked in person, making only home-style dishes; she always wanted to do something for her son.

During the meal, she kept picking food for Moli, making her own children jealous.

Especially the youngest son, Gu Yubiao, who found Moli an eyesore and glared at him fiercely, but the other party suffered no loss at all, while he himself almost got a beating!

Moli was not stupid; he could see that the eldest aunt's youngest son was very hostile toward him.

But he was an adult and would not lower himself to a child's level, so after the meal, he said his goodbyes and went home!

Shi Yuke saw him off to the car, and even when the car was too far away to be seen, she still refused to leave.

Shi Youxuan put her arm around her sister's shoulder, saying nothing.

Shi Yuke said, "You don't need to comfort me; I know all of this is my own doing, there is nothing to say, everything is the best arrangement, not too early and not too late, with no regrets."

These were the sentiments she expressed after a great awakening.

……

Jian Group.

The Secretary came in to report: "Chairman, someone is here to see you."

"Do they have an appointment?"

"There is no appointment."

"You are becoming more and more capable now; if there is no appointment, why are you telling me?"
