Chapter 312: Meeting Jian Yixin at the Restaurant

"You... is your seafood allergy really gone?" Shi Youxuan was still skeptical.

He nodded: "Yes, it is truly gone. If you don't believe me, I'll eat some for you to see."

And so, in the high-end restaurant, Shi Youxuan saw Sheng Hanyu eat seafood once again—he really didn't have an allergic reaction.

The family of three sat at a window-side table, happy and harmonious.

Sheng Hanyu peeled shrimp for Shi Youxuan and Shi Ran.

His technique for peeling shrimp was exceptionally skillful; his fingers flew rapidly, and before one could even see how he moved, a whole shrimp meat was peeled.

She was happy today, so Shi Youxuan did not refuse the shrimp meat Sheng Hanyu offered.

The three of them were chatting while eating when a woman stood by their table and asked politely: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to run into you here."

Shi Youxuan's face turned cold.

Even without looking up, she knew who the woman speaking was—Jian Yixin.

Her voice was still as gentle as ever, but Shi Youxuan now only had four words in her heart—enemies often cross paths!

Sheng Hanyu's expression was even colder than hers; he hadn't expected to run into Jian Yixin here.

And he certainly hadn't expected her to come up and greet them.

Why greet them, really; in the past, there had been several opportunities for them to run into each other, but they had always avoided it, and wouldn't it have been better to just keep doing that? She just had to come over and greet them at a time like this.

In truth, Jian Yixin had made a great resolution to come over and greet them.

She wanted to turn hostility into friendship with them; after all, they would be relatives in the future, and they couldn't just keep avoiding each other for a lifetime.

But seeing the expressions on both their faces, she knew the timing wasn't right yet, and that she had been too impatient.

Seeing this, Jian Yixin immediately prepared to leave: "Goodbye."

As she turned and took a step, Shi Youxuan suddenly called out to her: "Don't go, since we've already run into each other, please sit down."

"Ranran, come sit with Mommy, and give your seat to this pretty auntie."

As soon as Jian Yixin heard that, the tone felt wrong, and she hurriedly waved her hands: "No, no, I'll sit next to you. Xuanxuan, we haven't seen each other for so many years, I have so much I want to say to you."

Jian Yixin had been dating Sheng Zerong for a while, and the two were preparing to get married.

Before getting married, she wanted to reconcile Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu, which was why she had been thick-skinned enough to come over just now.

But Shi Youxuan didn't know that; she thought she had let go of the events from many years ago, but seeing Jian Yixin still filled her with hatred!

Naturally, her words weren't pleasant: "Miss Jian is too polite. I'm not close to you, and I really have nothing to say to you, but you can sit beside me; it's more convenient for you to talk to each other sitting across."

"Ranran, are you full? If you're full, let's go; don't be an eyesore to this uncle and auntie here."

Jian Yixin:...

"Xuanxuan, listen to my explanation, can I just say a few words to you?"

"No, I've forgotten about the past, there's nothing to explain." This was a classic case of Shi Youxuan protesting too much.

If she had truly forgotten, she wouldn't be so hostile when speaking.

The more Jian Yixin wanted to explain, the less Shi Youxuan would give her the chance, bustling about to take the child and leave.

"I'm full too, I'll go with you." Sheng Hanyu stood up and signaled for the waiter to come over and settle the bill.

Shi Youxuan couldn't control her anger when she saw Jian Yixin, and scenes from many years ago surfaced before her eyes again. Seeing Sheng Hanyu was going to go back with them, she said sarcastically: "Don't bother, what does it mean for you to go back with us? You should go back with her; I don't want to get mixed up with you two anymore."

Jian Yixin: "Shi Youxuan, you've gone too far. How can you spout nonsense without distinguishing right from wrong?"

Shi Youxuan: "Oh, you're unhappy when you hear others spouting nonsense too? Weren't you quite smooth when you were spouting nonsense? Since it's nonsense, of course, one can't distinguish it; if it were all distinguished, how could one still be unreasonable? Don't you think so, Jian Yixin?"

Jian Yixin:...

"I'm leaving, you two continue eating."

Jian Yixin walked away, fuming.

Some people could never be friends in a lifetime, like her and Shi Youxuan.

They were born incompatible, their elements clashing.

She had only wanted to say a few words to her, but before she could even start, she was met with this barrage of sarcasm and ridicule, making Jian Yixin so angry she didn't want to say anything at all.

Wasn't it a misunderstanding?

Fine, you continue.

Jian Yixin thought maliciously: Anyway, I'm getting married soon. If you, Shi Youxuan, don't cherish someone as devoted as Sheng Hanyu, you'll never find anyone better in this life... No, wait, there's still one more person!

There was still her own younger brother, who was also deeply infatuated with Shi Youxuan.

What was so good about this woman that she made the two best men in the world unable to let go of her?

No, Jian Yixin thought she still had to explain it to her.

But today would have to do; she would talk about it tomorrow.

Jian Yixin left, and Shi Youxuan sat back down.

Then she had the waiter take the cold dishes back to be heated; she hadn't finished eating yet.

Having just argued, she was instantly back to normal as if nothing had happened, and could continue eating; Sheng Hanyu had truly never discovered this "ability" of Shi Youxuan's before.

He sat down cautiously, not daring to move.

He only watched as Shi Youxuan calmly continued to eat. After a long while, he weighed his words and said: "Are, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, what could be wrong with me? Are you two still eating or not? If not, let's go."

She wiped her mouth, stood up, took Shi Ran's little hand, and told her to say goodbye to Sheng Hanyu.

Shi Ran didn't say goodbye, but instead looked up at her: "Mommy, why say goodbye? Uncle lives at our house."

"Starting today, Uncle won't be living at our house anymore. Uncle has a home, and he needs to go back to live in his own home." This was preparing to discard the tool once its purpose was served.

With no more worries, and since Sheng Hanyu had paid for the meal, she was kicking him out immediately after eating.

Shi Youxuan didn't just kick him out, she also had a righteous justification: "Uncle hasn't gone back for several days; his family must be so worried not seeing him. Ranran, you can't be selfish; you have to let Uncle go home."

She had already spoken so clearly, and he could not keep lingering in someone else's home.

He could only say to Shi Ran, "Mom is right; I will go back to check on my family and come to find you tomorrow."

Shi Ran had been on the verge of tears just a moment ago, but hearing him say he would come tomorrow, she broke into a smile through her tears: "Okay."

"Don't come tomorrow; I am taking Ranran to the sanatorium tomorrow."

"Have you forgotten that tomorrow is the day Ranran goes to the hospital? We will go to the sanatorium together after we return from the hospital," Sheng Hanyu said, then added a moment later, "I will wait outside."

Shi Yucheng did not want to see him; seeing him would make his blood pressure rise.

Shi Ran had to go to the hospital twice a week for dialysis until the toxins in her blood were completely cleared.

Tomorrow was another day to go to the hospital.

"You don't need to; I will take Ranran myself."

Shi Youxuan not only refused to let him go, but also forbade him from donating blood to the child in the future.

She said they could buy it from the blood bank, and she would contact the doctor tomorrow.

After saying this, she took Shi Ran away, not caring whether the young girl was happy or not.

Sheng Hanyu was so angry now he wanted to hit someone, but he did not know who to hit, so he slapped himself on the head!

After working so hard for so long, Shi Youxuan's impression of him had finally shown signs of thawing, but as it turned out, just because she saw Jian Yixin, it immediately dropped back to below zero.

He walked out of the restaurant in low spirits, and just as he reached his car, Jian Yixin suddenly said from behind him, "I'm sorry; actually, I wanted to put in a good word for you, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
