Chapter 1900: The Pitifully Cute Treasure

~8 min read 1,455 words

Someone as clever as Sheng Zihan actually believed the two children's words quite easily, and only after entering the house did he realize that these two children were not reliable at all.

Opening the door and entering, the three of them saw Tian Yuanyuan sitting upright on the sofa, her expression looking very unpleasant.

Qiqi pointed at Zihan and said, "Auntie said she was going to take us out to play."

Wenwen: "We were supposed to go to kindergarten."

The two children said in unison, "Mommy, we were wrong. Next time we will only listen to Mommy, not Auntie."

Sheng Zihan:...

It wasn't like that; he was wronged.

He said with a mournful face, "If I say the truth isn't like that, will you believe me?"

Tian Yuanyuan said to him expressionlessly, "Then what is the truth? Have you memorized the rules I gave you? You knew full well you should have sent the children to kindergarten, yet you took them out to play without permission. What else do you have to explain?"

"There won't be a next time. You can leave now."

"Yuanyuan, give me one more chance..."

As soon as Zihan called out that name, he knew he had made a mistake.

The nanny, Sister Zhang, would never use such an intimate form of address.

Furthermore, he had been in such a rush just now that he had forgotten to modulate his voice.

Yuanyuan sneered: "Sheng Zihan, you really are shameless, aren't you? You actually disguised yourself as a woman to deceive me. I suspected you from the very first moment I saw you. Put away all those little tricks of yours and get out immediately!"

"Yuanyuan, listen to my explanation. I did all this because..."

"I'm not listening, I'm not listening."

"Sheng Zihan, did you think I wouldn't recognize you just because you dressed up as a woman? You liar, you're always full of lies..."

Sheng Zihan was eventually kicked out, and the front door slammed shut with a "bang."

Having been recognized, his fears had become reality, and he returned home dejected.

Upon returning, he went to "settle the score" with his father.

Why was his father able to succeed back then, while he was recognized in such a short time? On what grounds?

The Sheng Family.

Sheng Hanyu wore an icy expression and looked at his son with contempt: "Your acting is poor. Did you think changing your face was enough? You're far from it. Back then, in order to master this lesson, I practiced for a long time before I went to find your mother."

Shi Youxuan also glared at her husband with a look of royal disdain: "Do you think you were flawless? It was only because I was soft-hearted at the time..."

No, that wasn't right; a secret from decades ago seemed to be on the verge of coming out.

Sheng Hanyu was eager to discuss the events of decades ago with his wife and was indifferent to his son's current situation, so he kicked him out.

He told him to go do whatever he was supposed to do and not to bother his father.

If he couldn't even handle this small matter, he wasn't worthy of being the son of Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan.

Sheng Zihan returned to his room, pondered deeply, and finally emerged from the room with a smile.

He felt that Yuanyuan still had him in her heart!

She said she had recognized him from the very beginning, but she had let him stay in the house for several days before kicking him out—what did that mean?

It meant he still had a chance.

Sheng Zihan decided that if the back-door approach didn't work, he would break through each obstacle openly and honestly.

He would start with Tian Yuanyuan's parents.

He went to beg his sister-in-law to make a pot of seafood porridge, intending to take it as a "gift."

Li Xueer was puzzled: "Who gives seafood porridge as a gift? This is the first time I've heard of it."

Zihan: "I'm going to the Hospital Ward to visit my future mother-in-law. She injured her waist and is lying in a hospital bed unable to move, so she can only eat light food."

Since it was to visit his future mother-in-law, Li Xueer couldn't be careless. She immediately carefully simmered a pot of seafood porridge and made a few beautiful, uniquely shaped pastries, letting Zihan take them along.

Zihan was overjoyed: "Sister-in-law, you're amazing! How did you manage to make the pastries look like this? If you opened a pastry shop, all those other shops outside would have to close down..."

Sheng Zihan was serious about flattery; he didn't need to think at all, it just rolled off his tongue.

From childhood, Li Xueer had always been strictly demanded by her father and had never heard kind words.

She had almost never heard praise like Zihan's, and after two sentences, she was completely won over. She took it all upon herself: "In the future, just tell me whatever you want to eat. I'm idle anyway."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Zihan appeared in the Hospital Ward with the seafood porridge. When the Tian parents saw him, their anger flared up: "What are you here for? Do you think you haven't caused my daughter enough misery?"

"Get out! We don't welcome you."

Zihan wouldn't "get out." At times like this, one had to be thick-skinned; if he were thin-skinned and got kicked out, it would be even harder to come back next time.

He spoke with complete sincerity, getting straight to the point: "Uncle, Auntie, I came to tell you both that I want to marry Yuanyuan. I want to be good to her for the rest of my life, be responsible for her and the children, not let her down, and let the children grow up in a happy living environment with their mom and dad together."

This statement struck directly at the hearts of the Tian parents.

They had objections to their daughter having children out of wedlock—very strong objections!

The old couple were both traditional people; marriage and then having children was the reasonable and legal order of life. Their daughter had suddenly returned with two children whose birth certificates had no father listed, which they could not accept.

It was too shameful; when they were out, they told people the children's father had died.

Yuanyuan had said Zihan didn't want to marry her, that they were a wealthy family and her family couldn't climb that high.

They had always believed this too, thinking Sheng Zihan had abandoned her after starting the relationship, but now Sheng Zihan was standing right in front of them, apologizing profusely and saying he wanted to marry their daughter and give the children a legitimate status.

The old couple naturally agreed. Why wouldn't they?

Tian Yuanyuan could never have imagined that her own backyard was on fire, and that her parents and Sheng Zihan had already reached a consensus.

Having conquered his future parents-in-law, Zihan didn't wait for the news of victory, but instead took gifts to visit Teacher Tian's house.

Teacher Tian had been retired for several years, but she couldn't stay idle at home. There were students who came to her for tutoring by reputation, so she opened a small tutoring class at home.

It could increase her income and also allow her to continue contributing her remaining energy.

When Sheng Zihan arrived, Teacher Tian was lecturing a student. Seeing him, she immediately widened her eyes, rushed to the corner, and raised a broom: "What are you here for? Get out!"

"Teacher, please calm your anger. I came here to apologize. I shouldn't have passed up Jiang University back then to attend the Film Academy. I was wrong..."

Sheng Zihan was truly Sheng Zihan; he knew exactly why Teacher Tian was still angry with him and where the crux of the matter lay.

That's right, that was exactly how it was.

What made Teacher Tian the angriest was that the top science student she had personally cultivated had actually passed up Jiang University to attend some Film Academy.

This was the one thing she could never forgive Sheng Zihan for.

Now that he had delivered himself to her doorstep, she certainly couldn't just let it go like that.

She dragged Sheng Zihan to the lectern and said to her students, "Look at this, this is the disgrace of our First High School. The once-famous top science student actually passed up Jiang University to attend the Film Academy. Now he has achieved nothing and has finally come to regret it..."

"My Wife Always Wants to Anger Me"
