Chapter 1943: Birds of a Feather Flock Together

Shi Youxuan said to her husband, "Go out fishing; I want to have fish soup at noon."

"Go buy some at the market."

He did not want to leave.

But Shi Youxuan insisted: "The ones from the market aren't delicious. I only like the ones you catch. Go quickly, I want to have it at noon..."

Although he was unwilling, Sheng Hanyu still took the fishing rod and walked out of the house.

It was better than staying at home, so as not to be angered to death by this inexplicable woman!

He cursed Zihan up and down in his heart, and then, still not satisfied, he specifically called him to scold him: "The evil you sowed in your early years—of all the women you could have introduced to Zirui, you had to introduce one who isn't quite right in the head..."

Zihan was scolded for no reason; he felt wronged and wanted to get to the bottom of the matter.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Hmph! It's that Bai Manman. She inexplicably ran to our house suddenly, wanting to adopt Zirui's child..."

"Ah? There's actually such a thing?"

Zihan also felt it was strange; she was indeed not quite right in the head. Anyone even slightly clever wouldn't do such a thing.

"Where is Bai Manman now?"

"Still at our house. You come back and drive her away, and tell her not to come again in the future."

Zihan:...

Fine, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it; who told him to be the one to play matchmaker in the first place.

He returned home, and as soon as he pushed the door open and entered, he saw his mother and Qi Shishi sitting on the sofa, chatting about something, laughing so hard they were clutching their stomachs.

"Has Manman left?"

"Yes, how did you know she had been here?"

"My dad called and gave me a good scolding, so I knew."

Shi Youxuan told her younger son what had happened.

Bai Manman had been introduced by her to Jian Family Hospital to undergo a full-body checkup, to treat whatever was wrong, but in any case, their family's child would not be given away.

In the afternoon.

Jian Yixin called Shi Youxuan; the checkup results for Bai Manman and her husband were out, and as expected, there was nothing wrong, exactly the same as what other hospitals had said.

The reason they didn't have children might be that their mental pressure was too great; the more they wanted a child, the more they couldn't get one.

Shi Youxuan said to her: "Yixin, please help her. Our family owes this young woman; help her out."

Jian Yixin: "No problem, leave it to me."

She did as she said; after hanging up the phone, she contacted her old classmate Yu Qingya.

Yu Qingya was a psychologist; although she was not an obstetrician, only she could help with this favor.

She felt that perhaps Bai Manman's mental pressure was too great; many cases of infertility were like this, where there was nothing wrong with the person themselves, but they couldn't conceive simply because of high mental stress.

As long as she let go of her mental burden, it would naturally happen.

Ordinary obstetricians would also give such advice, but some people could do it, and some could not.

For the sake of safety and speed, Jian Yixin invited Yu Qingya over.

Yu Qingya was now a nationally famous psychologist; if it weren't for Jian Yixin's sake, Bai Manman would never have been able to see her.

In just one short hour, when Bai Manman came out of the psychological therapy room, she felt completely different from before, refreshed and clear-headed, and the big stone that had been pressing on her heart had disappeared.

——————————————————————————————

Two months later.

Sheng Family.

Early in the morning, the people of the Sheng Family had not yet woken up when they were startled by a round of knocking on the door.

The servant, sleepy-eyed, went to open the door: "Who is it?"

Opening the door gave her a fright.

A group of people dressed in black poured in from outside; they looked like bodyguards, and if it weren't for the fact that they were all holding gifts in their hands, the servant would have thought it was a robbery.

Anyone would be startled to find several big men in black suits standing outside upon opening the front gate.

"Who are you?"

The bodyguards automatically parted, and a person looking like a butler stepped forward and said: "Our Madam is pregnant and has come in person to your esteemed residence to express her gratitude. Is your Madam at home?"

The servant thought to herself: Nonsense, who isn't at home at the crack of dawn? It's just your Madam who is like a lunatic, visiting someone else's house so early in the morning, without any manners at all.

She could have such thoughts, but she didn't show them, only asking very politely: "May I ask, who is your Madam?"

"Our Madam is named Bai Manman, this is the calling card." The butler handed over the calling card, and the servant was speechless once again.

Their Madam must have watched too many historical dramas; what era is this, still sending a calling card when visiting?

Wouldn't it have been enough to make a phone call in advance?

Lacking the manners that should be there, and being fussy about things that shouldn't be.

She took the calling card and went upstairs, where she saw Shi Youxuan walking out of the bedroom: "It was noisy outside just now, what happened?"

"A Madam named Bai Manman sent a calling card and brought many gifts to see you."

"Where is she?"

"Outside."

"Quickly invite her in."

Shi Youxuan went downstairs, preparing to invite the person in herself.

She had already seen the formation outside while upstairs; tsk tsk, it wouldn't be an exaggeration even for a head of state to travel like this.

With such a grand formation from Bai Manman, one didn't need to ask to guess what it was all about.

Two months later, Bai Manman stepped into the Sheng Family again, and her expression was that of a completely different person.

It wouldn't be right to call it flaunting her power, but the Sheng Family's living room, as large as it is, could barely contain her aura.

Besides the dozen or so bodyguards standing guard, Bai Manman had servants, a nanny, and four or five other people by her side.

There were even two people supporting her; she didn't even need to bend over to change into Spring Shoes when entering the door, as someone helped her the entire time.

Even when she prepared to sit on the sofa, the people around her would first carefully inspect it, then adjust the cushions to a comfortable angle before letting her sit down.

Shi Youxuan watched from the side, feeling both annoyed and amused.

If it's this much trouble, she shouldn't have come; she might as well have just found a giant eggshell to hide inside!

Bai Manman had people pile all the gifts onto the coffee table, and the massive table couldn't even hold them all.

"You are..."

Shi Youxuan asked, and only then did Bai Manman realize she hadn't stated her purpose yet.

She said with great excitement: "I'm pregnant, already two months along. It's all thanks to the good doctor you found for me that I was able to conceive and have my own child. This small gift is just a token of my appreciation..."

Being pregnant is a good thing, but such a grand display was completely unnecessary.

Shi Youxuan didn't say anything; everyone has their own way of living, and as long as she feels it's good, she can do whatever she wants.

Since she had brought so many gifts, it would be proper to ask the guest to stay for a meal, but their grand display scared Shi Youxuan into swallowing the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Better not ask her to stay; having so many people suddenly appear in the house was a headache just to look at.

After Bai Manman left, she let out a long sigh of relief.

Goodness, hosting her alone was like hosting an entire army.

At this moment, "giggle" laughter drifted down from upstairs.

Yueyue and Qi Shishi, the sister-in-law duo, were both leaning over the railing, laughing in exactly the same way.

Shi Youxuan said crossly: "You two little brats, what are you laughing at? Come down."

The two of them came down and sat on either side of her.

Yueyue looked at her third sister-in-law teasingly: "Third Sister-in-law, thank you."

Qi Shishi: "Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for occupying my Sange's heart and becoming my third sister-in-law, ensuring our family remains peaceful and harmonious. If it weren't for you, and that woman from just now had become my third sister-in-law, our whole family would have been driven to death by her antics."

Shi Youxuan chided her daughter for being sharp-tongued, but she also acknowledged her words; it was indeed the truth.

Bai Manman had sincere feelings for Zirui, but she and Zirui were truly not a good match.

Everything now was the best arrangement; Bai Manman had a good home and a husband who loved her, and soon she would have the crystallization of their love.

Although Zirui and Shi Shi could not make their relationship public for the time being, they didn't care; what they cared about was having each other, and that was enough.
