Chapter 311: Restoring the True Identity

Shi Youxuan hung up the phone and went back to whatever she was busy with.

She could keep her cool, but Zhu Yiwen could not!

The phone rang again, and Shi Youxuan answered.

This time, Zhu Yiwen got straight to the point: "You come back to help me get through this economic crisis, and I will divorce you; from then on, we will be even."

"Heh..."

Shi Youxuan sneered: "Then what about the matter of you poisoning Ranran?"

The person on the other end was silent for a few seconds.

Then he said: "You know everything?" His tone was flat, without a ripple, but when he spoke in this tone, it was the most dangerous.

It meant he was preparing to make a move.

Shi Youxuan was not afraid; a direct confrontation between her and Zhu Yiwen was inevitable, and this day would come sooner or later.

"Yes, I know everything."

"Our country has a saying: if you don't want people to know, don't do it. When you did this wicked thing back then, you should have thought that there would be a day when I would find out."

Zhu Yiwen: "It doesn't matter, know it if you want, what can you do about it? Don't forget that our marriage still exists, you are still my wife; if I go bankrupt, you also have half of all the debts."

"So, is this the reason why you refuse to divorce?" Shi Youxuan countered.

Things were definitely not that simple; he was just threatening her.

"No, I still want to live a good life with you. Wife, as long as you come back, I can agree to any request you have, just name it..."

"Impossible. Zhu Yiwen, do you think that now that things have reached this point, it is still possible for me to go back?"

Shi Youxuan really didn't know what was going on in Zhu Yiwen's head; things had already reached such a state between them, yet he still thought she could go back?

"You will come back." After saying this, Zhu Yiwen hung up the phone.

When the police came to the door, Shi Youxuan was startled.

"May I ask if there is something you need?"

"Ms. Shi, let me see your passport."

After hearing this, she immediately understood their intention.

So she handed over the passport.

The two of them flipped through it, handed it back, and reminded her: "Ms. Shi, please return to your country or go to the embassy to renew your visa within the specified time, otherwise you and your child will be forcibly repatriated."

"I understand, thank you."

The police left, and Shi Youxuan was worried.

She now understood what Zhu Yiwen meant yesterday when he said, "You will come back."

Although she had returned by smuggling herself in, she still had a passport; without a passport, she had no identity, and it was difficult to move an inch in Jiangzhou.

But having a passport was still very troublesome.

Six years ago, she was a "dead person" in Jiangzhou.

Now, Shi Youxuan's identity was that of a citizen of L Country, and the passport was set to expire in three days; if the police hadn't come to the door, it wouldn't have been a big deal.

But now that they had come, this matter had to be resolved.

She didn't even need to think about applying for a renewal; Zhu Yiwen had long ago woven a large net waiting for her, and even if she applied, she would be rejected.

There was another possibility: she could walk into the embassy and, without saying or doing anything, be arrested and forcibly taken back!

On Jiangzhou territory, Zhu Yiwen couldn't do anything to her, but the embassy was different; he still had influence there.

Even though Shi Youxuan was not very willing, she still went to find Sheng Hanyu.

There was no other way; right now, besides him, she couldn't find anyone else.

Sheng Hanyu was playing house with Ranran.

He pretended to be a rocket, carried Ranran on his shoulders, and "whooshed" up to the sky.

Of course, there was no real sky; they were just jumping on and off the sofa.

The father and daughter were having a great time when they suddenly discovered Shi Youxuan standing in front of them; the two immediately behaved, sat down obediently, and pretended that nothing had just happened.

"Ranran, go play by yourself. Sheng Hanyu, come with me to the Study, I have something to discuss with you."

"No, I won't let Uncle leave." Ranran blocked the way in front of Sheng Hanyu, spreading her arms.

Every time Mom wanted to talk to Uncle alone, it was to tell him "don't come again" or "leave quickly"; the little one knew Shi Youxuan's routine perfectly well.

Uncle had been recuperating at home for several days, and now that Mom suddenly proposed a private talk, the little one reflexively thought she wanted to drive Uncle away.

Before Shi Youxuan could speak, Sheng Hanyu had already explained to the child for her: "Uncle isn't leaving. Mom has something to discuss with Uncle. Be good, play by yourself for a while, and I'll be out very soon, okay?"

"Okay."

The two entered the Study, and Shi Youxuan didn't waste words; she told him about the police coming to the door just now and asked if he had a way.

"I do. Leave this matter to me and don't worry about it; I will go handle it immediately."

Sheng Hanyu came out and saw Shi Ran sitting at the front door playing with building blocks; for a moment, he didn't react: "Ranran, why are you sitting here? Go play in the living room." He said this while changing his Spring Shoes.

The little girl stood up, but instead of leaving, she leaned against the door: "Mom's word doesn't count. She said she wouldn't drive you away, but now you're still leaving..." As she spoke, tears fell in pairs.

Sheng Hanyu's heart was about to melt.

His heart had rarely been this soft; before, it was for Shi Youxuan, his lover.

Now, it was for Shi Ran, his daughter.

He pulled Shi Ran into his arms and patiently explained to the little girl: "Uncle isn't being driven away by Mom, but rather Mom wants Uncle to do something. This matter is very important and concerns whether Ranran can still play with Uncle in the future."

"Really?"

"Really, I wouldn't lie to Ranran."

So Shi Ran stepped aside: "Then hurry up and go, and come back early."

"Alright."

He kissed his daughter on the forehead: "I'll bring you something delicious when I get back. What do you want to eat?"

"Eat something delicious."

"Hmm."

The conversation ended, Sheng Hanyu went out, and the little girl obediently took her Lego toys back to the living room to build, not crying or making a fuss at all.

……

Sheng Hanyu was extremely efficient; he returned two hours later.

He handed a file folder to Shi Youxuan: "It's resolved."

Uh...

Shi Youxuan didn't believe it: "How is that possible? How did you resolve it in such a short time?"

"See for yourself." He was being mysterious.

Fine, she would see for herself.

Shi Youxuan opened the file folder, took out the documents inside, and understood what was going on after one glance.

"How did you think of this method? Thank you." She hugged the file folder to her chest, feeling an indescribable sense of relief and happiness.

What divorce?

With this thing, her marriage to Zhu Yiwen could be declared invalid; there was no need to go through that procedure at all.

The information in the file was actually very simple: it was to cancel Shi Youxuan's death certificate; now that she was back alive, they just needed to re-register her household in Jiangzhou.

Once the household was registered, her ID card would be restored.

Shi Youxuan would still be a Jiangzhou person, so of course she could stay for a long, long time—as long as she wanted.

Moreover, Jiangzhou does not recognize dual citizenship, so as a Jiangzhou person, everything Shi Youxuan had in L Country would no longer count.

Including her assets and her status as Lady Zhu.

Seeing her smile, Sheng Hanyu knew he had done the right thing.

He smiled and said: "I thought of this as soon as I knew you were still alive, but I didn't know if you would be willing, so I kept the connections ready for you; otherwise, it wouldn't have been this fast."

He spoke lightly, but Shi Youxuan was very moved.

The biggest difference between Sheng Hanyu and Zhu Yiwen was that before Sheng Hanyu did anything for her, he would always consider whether she would like it.

He would fully respect her personal wishes.

"How should I thank you?" Shi Youxuan asked.

But this question was a trap.

If Sheng Hanyu took the opportunity to suggest getting back together, he would be kicked out of the house without a moment's hesitation!

"Treat me to a meal, either one you cook or one we eat out is fine." This request was not the least bit excessive.

Shi Youxuan agreed: "Alright, then let's go out to eat, a big feast."

"Let's have seafood." Sheng Hanyu suggested proactively.
