Chapter 179: Shi Youxuan is Pregnant

After thinking for a moment, she still said: "Whatever you want to say, just say it directly. We are best friends, don't feel awkward."

Jian Yining said: "Back then, when my sister... was buried, it was an empty coffin!"

"An empty coffin?" Shi Youxuan suddenly raised her voice. She really hadn't expected such a result. How could it be empty? Then where did Jian Yixin go?

Jian Yining was not surprised by her expression and narrated it slowly.

After Sheng Hanyu fainted in the fire back then, people only found him, but they did not find Jian Yixin!

Sheng Hanyu was in a coma in the hospital for half a month. During this time, the Jian Family searched the ruins of the fire but did not find anyone. Some people said the fire was too big and Jian Yixin had been burned to ashes...

Even if the body was not found, she still had to be buried for peace. Thus, Jian Yixin was "normally" buried, and what was buried was a handful of ashes gathered from the fire scene and a set of clothes she usually liked.

Not telling Sheng Hanyu about this was the Sheng Family Old Master's idea.

The Old Master understood his grandson's temper and was afraid that he would dwell on this matter and have no heart for company affairs, so he kept it from him. At first, he didn't tell anyone, and later, the longer time passed, the more this matter couldn't be spoken of!

Shi Youxuan understood and asked Jian Yining: "So you are telling me this, not to have me persuade Sheng Hanyu not to open the coffin, but to let me have some mental preparation, right?"

Jian Yining nodded with difficulty.

Back then, they all thought his sister had died, but recently news came that his sister was still alive. His parents were so happy they couldn't sleep for several nights, and of course, he was also very happy, but what about Shi Youxuan? Others could not consider her, but he could not help but think about it.

"I'm leaving."

Shi Youxuan stood up and walked out.

"I'll see you off," Jian Yining said.

Shi Youxuan refused: "No need, I'll go by myself."

Not wanting to make Jian Yining feel guilty, she even turned back and smiled: "I'm fine, really fine."

"Alright."

The two parted ways at the teahouse and went back separately.

Although she pretended to be calm on the surface, her heart was as messy as a ball of tangled hemp, and she couldn't sort out a single thread!

If Jian Yixin was alive and had returned, it would inevitably disrupt her current life.

Should she withdraw or fight for it?

Actually, there was nothing to fight for. Sheng Hanyu was her husband, and she married him five years after Jian Yixin disappeared. She wasn't a mistress interfering, so why should she panic?

Shi Youxuan cheered herself up, and her heart felt a little more at peace.

"Ring-a-ling—"

Her cell phone rang. It was Shi Yuke calling, speaking in a sarcastic tone: "Little sister, I've been in the hospital for so long and you haven't come to see me. You really are an ungrateful wretch. Just because we aren't blood-related, I'm not your sister anymore, right?"

Shi Yuke was being very heartless to speak like this.

When Shi Youxuan went to the hospital to see her before, she cried and screamed for Shi Youxuan to get out, cursing her for coming to see her make a fool of herself and having bad intentions!

As a result, when Shi Youxuan stopped going, she again slandered her with a straight face, saying that not going meant she looked down on her.

If it were any other time, Shi Youxuan would definitely give her a few words back. She couldn't be wronged without fighting back; that wasn't her personality.

But today she didn't, and asked: "I'll go see you now, is that what you mean?"

"Yes, bring me something good to eat."

When Shi Youxuan arrived at the Hospital Ward, Shi Yuke saw her empty-handed and was displeased: "I said, how come you get stingier the richer you get? I asked you to bring me something to eat, and you didn't bring anything."

Before her voice had even faded, the door of the Hospital Ward was opened again, and people came in one after another delivering snacks, fruit, and meals...

Everyone was carrying two full, large bags. When the table couldn't hold them, they put them on the coffee table.

Shi Yuke still had gauze wrapped around her head and her right eye, but it didn't hinder her from using her left eye.

She scanned the table and the coffee table twice. Just a moment ago she was complaining that Shi Youxuan was too stingy for not bringing food, but now she was still complaining, only she changed her tune: "Sending so much food, when will I be able to finish it? Showing off your wealth, right? Did you come here to put on airs?"

"I'm leaving."

Shi Youxuan stood up to leave.

She was in no mood to argue with her now. This woman hadn't been reasonable for a day or two. Anyway, she didn't like her, so no matter what, she would find fault.

"Don't go, I have something to tell you." Sure enough, there was something.

Shi Youxuan sat down: "Speak."

"Sheng Yukai is in, I should inherit his assets, right?" Shi Yuke said.

The crimes Sheng Yukai committed were all capital offenses; once he went in this time, he definitely wouldn't be coming out.

Although the two had already broken up, they hadn't divorced. Originally, Shi Yuke was thinking about waiting for Sheng Yukai to die to inherit his estate. Her plan was very good, but it was destined not to succeed.

"I'm afraid you can't inherit it," Shi Youxuan said.

"Why?"

Her volume immediately increased by several degrees, and she glared at Shi Youxuan: "It must be that you want to swallow it all yourself, right? Shi Youxuan, I warn you, don't be too greedy. You already have enough money, is this little bit still missing?"

"In the future, my face and hands will need plastic surgery, which will cost a huge sum of money. It's only right that he compensates me..."

Shi Youxuan didn't want to listen to her rambling, immersed in her own world and unable to extricate herself.

Even if what she said was all correct, the problem was that Sheng Yukai wasn't dead yet. How could he let himself leave all his assets to Shi Yuke after he died?

Some things hadn't been told to her because she hadn't been discharged from the hospital yet. Shi Youxuan wanted to wait until she was discharged to say them.

Since she had already thought so far ahead, some things didn't need to be hidden or tucked away anymore.

She said to Shi Yuke: "Sheng Yukai insists that you are an accomplice, and that you had a part in everything he did."

"He's talking nonsense!"

Shi Yuke really hadn't expected Sheng Yukai to be so sinister. He was about to die and actually dragged her down with him. She immediately became anxious.

She cursed Sheng Yukai loudly, but after cursing for a while, she felt something was wrong: "No, if he framed me, why didn't the police take me to the police station? Even if they didn't take me away, they should have come to the hospital to understand the situation, right? Shi Youxuan, you're deliberately scaring me, aren't you?"

"Believe it or not."

Shi Youxuan couldn't be bothered to waste words with her and stood up, preparing to leave.

"How do you know? You explain it to me clearly. If you don't explain it clearly, I won't believe you." When Shi Yuke said this, she actually already believed it.

Shi Youxuan knew exactly what kind of temperament Sheng Yukai had.

But she simply could not stand the sight of Shi Youxuan's happiness; even if she was already miserable, even if she was about to face big trouble, she still wanted to make things unpleasant for Shi Youxuan.

"Don't think that you and Hanyu are doing so well; sooner or later, he will dump you," Shi Yuke said, looking smug.

Shi Youxuan didn't even turn her head, retorting, "Fine, if he doesn't want me, he can have you instead, how about that?"

After saying this, she pushed the door open and left, not wanting to stay a moment longer.

If it weren't for her father, she really wouldn't bother with Shi Yuke's business.

Because of Shi Yuke's affairs, Shi Yucheng had returned before even halfway through his world tour.

He came back only to be heartbroken and sad for her; Shi Youxuan did not want her father to continue worrying, which was why she had acted as a guarantor for Shi Yuke, preventing the police from coming for her right then.

As it turned out, no good deed goes unpunished!

She helped her only to be blamed in return, receiving so many complaints.

When Shi Youxuan reached the elevator lobby, a pregnant woman with a big belly and her husband were also waiting for the elevator, the two of them talking about what their future Baobao would look like while they waited.

The happy young couple made Shi Youxuan feel envious, and on an impulse, she didn't leave the hospital but instead went to the obstetrics and gynecology department for a check-up!

Shi Youxuan was not completely without common sense; having felt nauseous for this period of time, she also suspected that it shouldn't just be a stomach ailment.

After the examination, it was confirmed that she was indeed pregnant.

She was already three months along, the fetus was very healthy, and all indicators were normal.

Walking out of the hospital, Shi Youxuan still felt it was a bit unbelievable; she had a Baobao?

Suspecting it was one thing, but once it was confirmed, her mood changed rapidly, and a sense of maternal pride welled up in her heart.
