Chapter 1832: Shi Ran Takes the Children to Work
Yun Group.
Shi Ran was working in the office, while the twins were playing happily in the play area.
She could see the two children at any time while she worked, and the twins were also used to their mother accompanying them while she worked.
In any case, there was a nanny to look after them; as long as they could see their own mother, it didn't matter.
After the twin sons turned one month old, Shi Ran brought them to work at Yun Group.
During the economic crisis, the Yun Family suffered heavy losses, but thanks to the help of the Sheng Family, they managed not to go bankrupt.
Shi Ran's work ability was much stronger than her husband Yun Qitian's, and she couldn't stay idle at home, so she requested to come out to work.
Her father-in-law and husband both agreed; her mother-in-law wanted to object, but considering the situation of their own family, she tacitly consented.
Originally, her mother-in-law wanted her to leave the children at home for her to look after, but this time Shi Ran did not listen to her.
She felt it was best to raise the children herself; although it was a bit tiring, she wouldn't miss out on the children's growth.
Yun Qitian found a professional designer and specifically modified the office.
In Shi Ran's office, a separate area belonging exclusively to the children was partitioned off.
The two areas were separated by a soundproof, opaque glass door; if someone came over or the children were sleeping, the door could be closed so they wouldn't disturb each other.
When there was no one around, it would be opened; the children had a nanny to look after them and could still see their mother at any time—this was the best arrangement Shi Ran could think of.
It was almost time to get off work.
Yun Qitian walked in leading He Yu; he had just picked his daughter up from kindergarten. He Yu went to the small table to do her homework, and Yun Qitian accompanied his son to play.
While playing, he discussed with his wife what to have for dinner.
"How about barbecue?" Shi Ran said. "I haven't had it for a long time; I'm craving it."
Reminded, Yun Qitian remembered that he hadn't had barbecue for a long time either: "That's right, I'm craving it too, but Mom said children shouldn't eat barbecue; it's hard to digest."
Although they had moved out to live on their own.
Ma Ling'er would still come over frequently to boss them around and express all sorts of dissatisfaction with her daughter-in-law.
The first point of dissatisfaction was that Shi Ran was too strong-willed.
Why did she have to go to work?
Wouldn't it be better to stay at home properly as a full-time housewife while raising a few children?
However, although she had opinions, she couldn't make decisions for her son and daughter-in-law, so she could only watch her bring the children to the group to work every day.
She didn't dare to object too strongly either; if her daughter-in-law took the grandsons to work at Ding Sheng, the Yun Family's losses would be even greater.
There was no help for it; having a daughter-in-law with a strong maternal family background had this one downside—she had a retreat, so the in-laws had to be wary.
Most of the time, Shi Ran made her own decisions and called the shots, but she couldn't ignore everything.
For example, she had to comply with some small requests; she still had to give her mother-in-law some face.
Now that the couple both wanted to eat barbecue but couldn't take the children along, Yun Qitian suggested: "How about we send the children to Mom's place and we go out for a date just the two of us?"
"Good idea."
The couple hit it off immediately and decided on it happily.
They sent the three children to the in-laws' house and went out for a date.
The original snack street had already been demolished because it was unhygienic; now the snacks were all in storefronts. Although the hygiene conditions were better, it always felt like something was missing.
The two of them still ate with great relish.
The chef put the charcoal into the stove, and the waiter brought over meat, sweet potato slices, lettuce, and sausages, placing them on the table one by one until it was full.
The couple ordered two bottles of beer. After pouring them full and just raising their glasses, Yun Qitian stood up: "Mom, Dad, over here."
Shi Ran was startled; she thought her parents-in-law had come and they had been caught eating barbecue.
It turned out to be her own parents.
The two quickly scooted inward to make room and called the waiter to add two sets of bowls, chopsticks, and glasses.
Shi Youxuan took a look: "Not bad, you two really know how to enjoy life."
"Ignoring the old and the young at home, you two come out to eat barbecue; you're living quite comfortably."
Shi Ran immediately replied: "I learned it all from you. Aren't you also leaving the old and the young at home to come here for barbecue?"
"Hmph! I see it now; your greatest talent is talking back!"
If the big hat of being unfilial were to be pressed down on her, Shi Ran wouldn't be able to handle it.
She had better apologize quickly; what else could she do?
She apologized with a grin, and fortunately, her mother didn't pursue it further.
Because the waiter brought the menu over, she was busy ordering food and let her daughter off the hook for once!
Shi Youxuan was also getting on in years, but her mindset was forever young; she always carried a childlike spirit and lived willfully and freely.
The old couple also had a romantic side; they had frequented this snack street since they were young.
Later, although it changed from open-air to storefronts, they still couldn't give up the taste of the snacks.
The four of them chatted while eating.
Sheng Hanyu and Yun Qitian, the father-in-law and son-in-law, talked about business, while Shi Ran discussed with her mother about bringing Shi Yuan back!
She thought like this: "Shi Yuan is in elementary school now, and his personality has become much more cheerful. She can take care of several children now, so it would be easy to bring Shi Yuan back to raise together."
Shi Youxuan nodded: "What you say makes sense. I was just about to talk to you about Shi Yuan's matter. I'm afraid you won't be able to bring him back, because his biological mother is going to take him away."
"Why?"
Shi Ran was shocked: "Can that woman take good care of Yuanyuan? She's not even as good as me. No, I'm not at ease with Shi Yuan following her."
Shi Youxuan sighed: "If Shi Yuan were still small, you wouldn't need to say it; I would also object. But he has grown up now. Don't forget you are his adoptive mother; Black Widow is his biological mother after all."
"And he is of the Qi Family's bloodline. Qi Shishi is the president now; how could she watch her own family's bloodline always be in another country?"
"It's not a matter of whether you are willing or agree now; Shi Yuan must go back."
In truth, she knew all the principles her mother spoke of, but emotionally, she could not accept them for the time being.
The meal was eaten with no appetite at all.
The day for Shi Yuan to leave was drawing closer and closer.
Recently, Shi Ranran to her maiden home every day, bringing all sorts of fun things to see her son.
Although they did not live together, Shi Ran went often, so the bond between mother and son was quite good.
Recently, his mother came to see him every day, even taking him to the amusement park to play, and buying all kinds of nice clothes and delicious food; Shi Yuan keenly sensed that something was not right.
He asked, "Mom, are you going on a long trip?"
Shi Ran: "No, why would you suddenly ask that?"
He looked a bit dejected: "If you aren't going on a long trip, then it means I am, right? I heard what Grandma and Grandpa were saying. I don't want to leave; I want to stay at Grandma's house."
Shi Ran:...
She had not expected that the child already knew, yet he had not said anything.
Shi Yuan lowered his head, fiddling with his chubby little hands: "Grandpa said my biological mother is coming to pick me up. I'm a little afraid of her and don't really want to live with her. Why aren't you my biological mother?"
