Chapter 1838: Shi Yuan Changes Name to Qi Sheng

This was entirely based on his own experience, but used at this moment, it felt completely natural; everyone felt what he said made sense, except for Zirui.

"Hmph, you have a mouth to talk about others but not yourself. You don't even know where Yuanyuan is, do you? You haven't even figured out your own affairs, yet you have the nerve to lecture me? I know what I should do; I don't need you to worry about it."

Zihan did not continue to argue with Zirui, but instead looked at Su Qiangying, her gaze filled with pleading, looking pitiful.

Su Qiangying immediately raised her right hand to swear: "I promise, I really don't know where Yuanyuan is, really, it's the absolute truth!"

"Sister-in-law, I won't press you, just reveal a little information to me. I just want to know if she is doing well now..."

Zihan's target shifted, and Su Qiangying turned and went to the kitchen, and he followed her in to pester her.

The two most powerful "lobbyists" had gone off to fight each other, and Zirui smiled with a bit of smugness, grabbing the melon seeds in front of him to crack them.

With the point of conflict shifted, it wasn't just Zirui who breathed a sigh of relief, but also Zichen.

Zichen had been sitting there without saying a word, fearing they would suddenly shift the topic to him. Although he was already engaged to Gu Yuxin, Yuxin had changed a lot recently, and he had noticed it!

The two of them had grown quite distant, and he didn't yet know how to tell his family.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was not on him; this gathering could be considered a narrow escape.

Zihan came out of the kitchen, continuing to pester Zirui, wanting to keep talking about Shen Qingya; he had one merit: he would not give up easily until he achieved his goal.

But this time, the one who relieved Zirui was the triplets.

The three sisters surrounded Zihan, poured him drinks, and pestered him to teach them methods for doing business.

Of course, they weren't being kind; they were simply helping Zirui out of a tight spot. The triplets weren't that noble; they just felt that since it was difficult for the three sisters to find boyfriends, it was fine for the Sheng Family brothers to remain single as well.

This way, they wouldn't appear so prominent, avoiding their parents sighing and fretting about them being unwanted whenever they saw the three of them...

Country L.

Presidential Palace.

Qi Shishi stood outside the door, looking through the crack at the study situation inside, nodding with satisfaction.

Very good, it was exactly how she wanted it to be.

Shi Yuan... no, that's wrong; he had returned to Country L and changed back to his ancestral surname, now called Qi Sheng!

When Qi Sheng returned to Country L, she had originally thought the child would make a scene and be unable to adapt.

But the situation exceeded her expectations.

Qi Sheng performed very well; he was clever, sensible, steady, and magnanimous. The timid and fearful appearance he had when he was little was almost nowhere to be seen.

In him, Qi Shishi saw the shadow of her own brother.

But he was not exactly the same as her brother. Regardless, she was very satisfied with her nephew's current state; she had brought him back specifically to be raised as an Heir.

The lessons she arranged for her nephew were completely different from those in Jiangzhou; cultural studies were secondary, and what he mainly studied every day were methods of governing the country and history.

These things were too dry and boring for a child of only eleven.

But Qi Sheng did not complain of fatigue or bitterness; he completed them excellently.

Besides these, Black Widow would also teach her son skills.

Her greatest skill was not beauty, but counter-espionage!

Qi Sheng was the Presidential Heir and originally shouldn't have had to learn these things, but Black Widow gave examples, noting that quite a few past presidents of Country L had been assassinated.

Giving her son an extra skill might save his life at a critical moment.

Additionally, Wang Yong would teach him combat, shooting...

Originally, shooting should have been taught by Liu Min, as her marksmanship was very accurate, hitting whatever she aimed at.

But Liu Min refused.

She didn't just refuse herself; she even opposed Wang Yong getting too close to Qi Sheng.

She said to her husband: "You aren't young anymore, and although I'm still quite young, I don't want to keep tossing about. Let's just settle down in Jiangzhou; you resign as Military Region Commander. We won't hold this official post anymore."

"Why?"

"Are you stupid? Such a simple logic, and you actually ask me why? Who is Qi Sheng? He is the son of Qi Heng. How did Qi Heng die? I killed him. When he grows up and has the ability, won't he come to settle the score with me?"

Wang Yong smiled: "Qi Heng was killed by you, and Black Widow knows it too. If she wanted to settle the score with you, she would have done it long ago; why wait until he grows up? Rest assured, it's fine."

Liu Min glared at him hard: "You never take anything to heart. It's fine, it's fine—when something happens, it will be too late."

Only then did Wang Yong tell the truth: "The President promised me long ago that past matters would be written off; no one will hold us accountable."

"The President is the President, but what if Qi Sheng becomes President in the future? If he doesn't abide by the current President's rules and retaliates against our family, what then?"

"Even if we aren't afraid, what if our son can't defeat him?" Liu Min's brain was usually not quite sharp enough, but this time she had thought of a very profound question.

Wang Yong told his wife that his big brother, Sheng Hanyu, had already thought of this problem for them long ago.

Long before Qi Shishi became President, she had already sworn an oath regarding this issue!

She guaranteed she would not investigate the cause of her brother's death and would not tell anyone about this matter.

An oath made before the Buddha could absolutely not be broken.

Wang Yong said: "Rest assured, Qi Sheng will never know about this."

Only then did Liu Min breathe a sigh of relief, complaining: "Why didn't you say so earlier? You had me worried for several days."

"You didn't ask, did you?"

Liu Min:...

Four o'clock in the morning.

Just as the sky was beginning to brighten, Qi Sheng got up. He neatly folded his quilt, then washed up and dressed properly, sitting upright in front of the desk to open his computer.

There was a time difference between the two countries.

It was four in the morning here, which was afternoon in Jiangzhou; it was exactly the time Yueyue got out of school and should have arrived home.

The video invitation rang only once before Shi Youxuan answered it.

"Yuanyuan, you don't need to video call so early; it's just dawn over there, right?" Shi Youxuan felt very heartbroken.

This child is too sensible, always thinking of others.

Not wanting to affect others' rest time, yet having to climb out of bed when one is sleeping most soundly.

"It's fine, I usually get up at this time, I'm used to it." He smiled very sweetly, his smile carrying innocence.

This kind of innocent smile only appeared when video calling the Sheng Family, and never in front of others.

Shi Youxuan asked with concern: "Are you getting used to being back?"

"Everything else is fine, it's just that the food here isn't as delicious as what's made at home, and the climate is also too hot..."

He complained in a rambling way, his tone just like a junior acting spoiled toward an elder.

"You can slowly adapt to the climate, and as for the food... that's true too. Tell Grandma what you want to eat, and I'll have your eldest uncle make it into semi-finished products and send them to you..."

As the grandmother and grandson were chatting, Yueyue finished school.

She didn't even put down her schoolbag before she appeared on the screen, hopping and skipping: "Shi Yuan, when are you coming back? I got a few more pretty candies this time, waiting for you to eat them together."

Shi Youxuan shouted from the side: "Sheng Ziyue, are you buying candy behind my back again?"
