Chapter 185: Preparing to be Promoted to Father

Sheng Hanyu knew that such arguments were meaningless, but he just liked watching the little woman puff out her cheeks, looking all angry; arguing with her was very interesting, and things he previously thought were boring were now things he enjoyed doing endlessly.

The butler, servants, and bodyguards in the Villa were each given a large red envelope because the Eldest Young Mistress was pregnant.

In the days to come, Shi Youxuan would be the Villa's primary object of protection; Sheng Hanyu demanded that everyone take care of the Eldest Young Mistress as if they were protecting a giant panda!

Aside from everything she ate and drank having to be organic and pollution-free, and her maternity clothes having to be designed by international masters and made from the best fabrics, the house also underwent a major transformation.

The carpet on the stairs was still in good condition, but Sheng Hanyu demanded it be replaced with a new one, a long-pile chenille carpet that was thick and soft, comfortable to step on and painless if one were to fall.

Then there were the stair railings, which were originally beautiful and magnificent gold-plated railings carved with hollow patterns, giving the whole place a luxurious and grand appearance.

Sheng Hanyu had the servants wrap them all in linen strips, saying it would hurt if a child bumped into them while walking on the stairs.

Shi Youxuan was caught between laughter and tears; her belly hadn't even started to show, the fetus was less than three months old, and it would be at least a year and a half before the child was born and could walk, so doing all this now was a bit too early.

But Sheng Hanyu insisted, so she let him be.

Not just the stairs, but every corner and edge in the house, as long as it had a sharp angle, was completely covered with food-grade silicone.

The nursery was also being set up.

The room next to the master bedroom was being arranged as a nursery; Sheng Hanyu insisted on decorating it in pink and bought a whole pile of dolls, stuffed animals, and figurines to keep in the nursery, waiting to welcome their little master.

Shi Youxuan stood at the doorway and mocked him: "You just know for sure it's a daughter, what if it's a son? When the son is old enough to understand, I'll tell him, 'Daddy doesn't love you, he only wanted a daughter, he even decorated the room in pink, and there isn't a single toy in there you can play with...'"

Sheng Hanyu said: "If it's a son, you can play with these; you like them anyway, so it won't be a waste."

He finally said something right; Shi Youxuan had liked the room ever since they started decorating it, and the room's color and layout matched all of her childhood fantasies.

And she liked all the dolls inside as well.

She just hadn't been embarrassed to say it; now that Sheng Hanyu had brought it up, she nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, let me play with these, I'll help our daughter check them."

After speaking, she picked up two dolls and walked toward the bedroom, placing them brazenly on the bed, occupying Sheng Hanyu's spot.

Of course, after Sheng Hanyu came over, he just threw them onto the sofa.

Shi Youxuan was restricted from going to the company; in Sheng Hanyu's words: "It's about the same whether you go or not anyway, Jian Yining is at the company, so you don't need to worry about other things, just rest easy at home and nurture the fetus."

This was the first time in his life Sheng Hanyu had broken an appointment—the next day, he didn't go to see Jian Yixin.

He could also see that Jian Yixin's reliance on him remained as it was, and her love still lingered.

Since he now had a wife and was about to have a child, he should keep his distance from Jian Yixin.

Although he didn't go in person, he made a phone call to tell her that he had things to do and couldn't visit, hoping she would listen to her parents' arrangements, as they were her family and the people who were best to her.

Jian Yixin didn't say much either, obediently agreeing to everything, just like before.

Sheng Hanyu didn't think much of it; he was about to be promoted to a father, and there were many things he needed to do.

Besides decorating the nursery and giving the house a major makeover, he also personally designed a nutritional menu for pregnant women and called Shi Yucheng to tell him the good news.

Shi Yucheng was the person who loved Shi Youxuan the most; he was about to be promoted to a grandfather, so he had to be made happy in advance!

He was quite happy, but according to the customs of Jiangzhou, there was no reason for a father to go to his daughter's house to offer congratulations when she was pregnant, and Jiang Yadan's relationship with Shi Youxuan was not good, so if he let her come, she might stir up other trouble; thus, Shi Yucheng sent people to deliver many congratulatory gifts and gave detailed instructions over the phone.

Shi Yucheng didn't come, but Wang Yingzhi arrived.

Her car had just pulled up when it was discovered by the butler, who hurriedly blocked the entrance and wouldn't let her in.

"You cannot enter."

Wang Yingzhi glared, hands on her hips, standing straight as a rod, putting on the airs of a mother-in-law: "I am here to serve my daughter-in-law, what right do you, a servant, have to stop me from entering?"

The butler didn't buy her act: "The Eldest Young Master specifically ordered that you cannot enter; the Eldest Young Mistress has people to serve her, and she doesn't need you."

"Hanyu, Hanyu, come out..."

Wang Yingzhi had been snubbed by the butler too many times, so she had learned to be smart; she stopped wasting words with her and shouted for her son at the top of her lungs.

She had received a mysterious phone call, and the person on the phone told her some methods; Wang Yingzhi felt they made a lot of sense and could be tried.

Sheng Hanyu came out, his face cold as frost.

But Wang Yingzhi didn't care; she was even secretly pleased.

That person was right; her son was indeed at home and hadn't gone to the company, and this time she had caught him.

"Hanyu, I'm here to see my daughter-in-law; congratulations on becoming a father, your father and I are also about to be promoted to grandparents, you don't know how happy I am... If your grandfather were still alive, he would be even happier..."

Wang Yingzhi didn't do as she had before, coming over and rambling about how difficult her life was and how hard things were for her; instead, she played the family card.

Sheng Hanyu's expression softened slightly: "Come in."

She was overjoyed; she had finally received her son's permission to enter the Villa.

This was the first step, and the next step would be to stay forever!

Wang Yingzhi began to get cocky, and once she got cocky, she revealed her true colors: "Where is my daughter-in-law? I need to tell her about our family's rules."

Sheng Hanyu's face, which had just softened, immediately drooped again: "She doesn't need you to set rules for her; this is her home, and everything is decided by her!"

If Wang Yingzhi could have sensed that her son was angry at this moment and immediately restrained herself and changed her tune, the plan the mysterious person taught her might have been able to continue.

But she didn't.

She felt that her son had been brainwashed by his wife, and that wouldn't do!

Her son was hers, so of course he should listen to her, so she began to run wild on the road to self-destruction: "Hanyu, you're wrong to say that; I am her mother-in-law, I've walked more bridges than she has walked roads, and I've eaten more salt than she has eaten rice."

"You are first-time parents with no experience, you have to listen to me; I raised you to be so excellent, I have experience..."

"Butler, send her out!" Sheng Hanyu darkened his face and issued an eviction order.

The butler had long since been unable to listen any further; when the Eldest Young Master was a child, Wang Yingzhi had never properly taken care of him, only using him to find a sense of existence, and now she was putting on airs as a mother-in-law at the Villa—it was hard to imagine what she was thinking.

"Please leave, Madam, don't make it difficult for us servants." The butler spoke very politely, but in reality, she had the bodyguards carry her out.

"Hanyu, listen to me, I'm your mother, would I harm you..." She was carried out of the gate before she could finish, and she couldn't get back in again.

A moment later, all the gifts she had brought in were thrown out.

High-quality sea cucumber, bird's nest, and shark fin!

Buying these things had made Wang Yingzhi's heart ache, but in the end, they were thrown out like trash; she picked them up one by one and put them in her car—if they didn't want them, fine, she would take them home and eat them herself.

Lady Jian called Sheng Hanyu, her voice thick with tears: "That's right, she went missing this morning, and we've searched every Hospital Ward but couldn't find her... Yixin really didn't go to look for you?"

Jian Yixin had gone missing.
