Chapter 306: Give You the World, I Only Want Her

Sheng Hanyu made a grand gesture by gifting a project worth ten billion, and Jian Yining happily went to A Country to manage it; never mind not coming back for two or three months, he could stay away for a year and it would be fine!

In any case, he had already given up the idea of being a couple with Shi Youxuan, deciding to be best friends for life, without needing to be together every waking moment.

Plus, they could video chat, and doing so every day was much more convenient than before.

Sheng Hanyu gifting the ten-billion-dollar project to Jian Yining—this matter was told to Shi Youxuan by Jian Yining.

He wanted to register the project under the name of Pegasus, and with such a large sum of money suddenly falling from the sky, it was impossible for Shi Youxuan not to ask.

Once she figured out what was going on, she told Jian Yining: "It can't count as both of ours; count it as your own, no need to register it under Pegasus."

"No."

Jian Yining refused flatly: "If you don't want it, I don't want it either; I'll come back right away to be an eyesore to him."

After sending away the eyesore that was Jian Yining, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived.

That morning, Shi Youxuan took Shi Ran to the nursing home to see her father; she had called her father in advance before going, and sure enough, when she arrived, Jian Yixin was not there, and she breathed a secret sigh of relief.

She didn't want to see Jian Yixin; she didn't know how she would face her if she did.

Shi Ran had a sweet mouth and coaxed her grandfather until he couldn't stop grinning; Shi Youxuan took the opportunity to propose the idea of picking her father up to live with them, hiring a few servants, and how wonderful it would be for the whole family to live happily together.

But Shi Yucheng refused.

He didn't want to, saying that being alone in the nursing home was quite good; there were doctors, nurses, and servants here to take care of him, as well as fellow patients to play chess, fish, and tend to flowers and plants with—he didn't know how much more comfortable his days could be.

He didn't want to live with the younger generation, and he even sent Shi Ran away, asking Shi Youxuan what she was thinking.

"What do you mean, what am I thinking?" Shi Youxuan played dumb.

Her father frowned: "You, a woman, just want to spend your whole life raising a child? You still need a man who loves you; I think A Ning is quite good, more than enough to be a match for you."

"He has waited for you for so many years, and you are both no longer young; just be together, Dad thinks that boy is reliable."

Shi Youxuan argued: "What are you talking about? I am married and have a husband; how can you encourage your daughter to commit adultery during marriage? Don't forget, the nursing home you first stayed in was arranged by your son-in-law."

Shi Yucheng's speech was slurred, but this sentence was very clear: "That man surnamed Zhu is no good; he is not worthy of you."

"How do you know he is no good? Did Sheng Hanyu say that?" Shi Youxuan's first reaction was that Sheng Hanyu had spoken ill of Zhu Yiwen.

Shi Yucheng shook his head in denial: "No, it's not that; if the one surnamed Sheng dares to come, beat, beat him out."

"The one surnamed Sheng is even worse; A Ning is good, I think only A Ning is worthy of you."

Shi Youxuan covered her mouth and giggled; she felt her father was too cute. In his eyes, his daughter was the best, and only the best man could be worthy of his daughter.

A Ning was very good, but she and A Ning were not suited to be husband and wife; they were only suited to be good friends for life.

"Dad, don't think about A Ning anymore, and don't say such things again. How uncomfortable would it be if A Ning's sister heard this? People come to take care of you, and you, on the other hand, want to make the son the Jian Family is most proud of your son-in-law; isn't this returning kindness with enmity?"

After being told off by his daughter, Shi Yucheng also smiled embarrassedly.

Shi Yucheng never had a firm opinion in his life and was easily swayed by others' thoughts; after his daughter said this, he also felt that wanting to make Jian Yining his son-in-law was a bit inappropriate.

The Jian Family had only this one son, and his appearance, character, and talent were all top-notch; he was a treasure that the Jian parents regarded as the apple of their eye.

Although his daughter was not bad, she had been married before and had a girl; the Jian parents wouldn't even be able to get past that hurdle.

And he also knew about the relationship between Jian Yixin and Shi Youxuan; looking at it this way, it was indeed inappropriate.

But if Jian Yining wasn't suitable, there were others; in any case, it couldn't be Sheng Hanyu!

Shi Yucheng grabbed his daughter's hand and urged: "Anyone is fine, but you must divorce the one surnamed Zhu; he is not a good person, and you cannot be with Sheng Hanyu—that thing is even less of a good person."

"Fine, don't worry, Dad, I'll listen to you."

Shi Youxuan could understand why her father didn't want her to be with Sheng Hanyu.

But why did her father have such a strong opinion about Zhu Yiwen?

Had someone said something in front of him?

Shi Yucheng told her: "No, it was when Zhu Yiwen was handling his admission procedures; he heard him talking on the phone with someone else."

As for what Zhu Yiwen said, he brushed it off as "forgetting" or "not remembering clearly," but he repeatedly urged Shi Youxuan: "You must divorce him; that man is no good, very bad."

Shi Youxuan took Shi Ran home, feeling emotional the whole way that her judgment was truly poor—the men she found were getting worse and worse!

Walking out of the elevator, Shi Youxuan discovered that the door to her home was open!

Oh no, was there a thief?

She tightened her grip on Shi Ran's hand and whispered: "Ranran, don't make a sound; it seems a thief has entered the house, let's go call the police."

The little girl nodded sensibly.

The two turned around, preparing to go back, when suddenly footsteps came from behind; oh no, had the thief chased them out?

Just as Shi Youxuan was about to press the elevator button, someone on another floor called the elevator, and it went down.

"Run."

She pulled the child and prepared to run toward the emergency stairs, but Shi Ran's other little hand was grabbed by a large hand.

Shi Youxuan didn't even think; she grabbed her bag and swung it back—then froze!

"Alisha" was wearing a floral dress, standing calmly behind the mother and daughter.

"Auntie—"

The little girl was still young and didn't know fear; she broke free from her mother's hand and hugged "Alisha's" leg, holding on tight and refusing to let go.

"Auntie, where did you go? Ranran missed you so much; if Auntie comes back, don't ever leave again, okay..."

"Alisha" lovingly stroked Shi Ran's head with a large hand and used sign language to gesture that she could only stay for a while before leaving, telling Shi Ran to listen to her mother and be a good girl.

"No, no, I don't want you to; I don't want you to leave! Stay with me, stay with me forever!"

The little girl started being unreasonable, stubbornly hugging his leg and refusing to let go, saying she wouldn't let him leave no matter what.

While they were saying their tearful goodbyes, Shi Youxuan let out an ill-timed "Pfft—" laugh.

Then she walked past the two of them to go home.

Serves him right; he should solve the problems he promised to handle himself.

Shi Youxuan's only thought now is to watch the show, to watch Sheng Hanyu's show.

Sheng Hanyu must have been bored out of his mind to let Alisha come back.

Now that Alisha is back and Shi Ran won't let her leave, let's see what you're going to do.

As soon as she entered the house, she smelled the fragrance of food, and the dining table was filled with delicious dishes, perfect in color, aroma, and taste.

Shi Youxuan did not stand on ceremony; she washed her hands and ate.

These past few days, Sheng Hanyu has come to the house every day, ostensibly to discuss strategies, but he doesn't leave even after finishing the serious business.

He either brings delicious food or finds ways to cook delicious meals for them; at first, Shi Youxuan was full of wariness, but later she got used to it.

What he makes is indeed quite good, better than her own cooking.

Alisha took Shi Ran to wash her hands, and then they sat down at the dining table.

The little girl was overjoyed that her "auntie" had returned, chattering incessantly as she asked, "Auntie, where did you go?"

"Daddy, Mommy, and Uncle all said you went to Heaven; can you still come back after going to Heaven?"

Sheng Hanyu nodded and used gestures to tell the child: Yes, one can come back.

"Liar!"

Shi Youxuan grabbed a steamed crab, detached its legs, lifted the shell to reveal the crab roe, and spoke while eating.
