Chapter 426: Running Away from Home Requires the Whole Family Together

~8 min read 1,589 words

Sheng Hanyu wanted to leave, but as he passed by his daughter, he saw Shi Ran's indifferent expression, and he hesitated again.

His daughter had not grown up in a normal family since she was small, which was why she had developed such a personality.

He could not just walk away like this.

So he came back, picked up the remote control from the sofa, "Click!" turned off the TV, and stood huffily in front of Shi Youxuan: "Didn't you say you didn't want to get the marriage certificate? How come you've figured it out now?"

"I changed my mind, is that not allowed?" Shi Youxuan righteously struck a pose, ready for an argument.

Although she looked huffy on the surface, in reality, Shi Youxuan was happy inside.

Sheng Hanyu's strengths were very obvious, and his shortcomings were also very prominent.

It was that he liked to keep everything in his heart, digest it himself, and was unwilling to speak it out.

Now that he was willing to argue with her, it was a breakthrough.

A breakthrough in his bad habit of not liking to communicate.

"You changed your mind?"

Sheng Hanyu didn't care anymore; he always gave in to this woman, and the result was that she became more and more unreasonable.

He had completely forgotten that he had just educated his daughter—home is a place for affection, not a place for reasoning.

Sheng Hanyu was now determined to reason with her!

Even if he couldn't win the argument, he had to distinguish right from wrong.

"Shi Youxuan, you are too unreasonable. What do you think marriage is, a child's play? Whose family holds a wedding without getting a marriage certificate? Do you have ulterior motives for not wanting to get the certificate with me? Are you trying to leave yourself a way out?"

"Yeah, yeah, that's exactly what I'm thinking. What can you do about it? Are you going to bite me?"

Shi Youxuan was very haughty and did not feel embarrassed at all.

She put on a bossy and unreasonable look to argue with him: "I am a woman and you are a man, what's wrong with you giving in to me a little? I don't want to get a marriage certificate, so you should reflect on what you haven't done well enough, then discover the problem and solve it. You still dare to argue with me? And you want to run away from home, what's that about?"

"You're so capable, where can you go? The keys to the Villa are in my hands!"

Shi Youxuan flashed the keys, shook them triumphantly, and put them away: "Hmph! Go ahead, once you walk out, just wait to sleep on the streets."

Shi Ran:...

The little girl simply sat on the sofa to watch the two of them argue at close range.

"I'm not leaving, and if I do, I have to take both of you with me."

Sheng Hanyu said huffily: "Want me to sleep on the streets? In your dreams, even if I sleep on the streets, you have to accompany me."

Shi Ran watched the fun with a smile; she thought it was very amusing for her mom and dad to argue.

She didn't know how to put it, but anyway, if there was something, they didn't keep it in their hearts; they said it directly.

Or they argued it out, and then after arguing, the matter was gone.

Wasn't the point supposed to be about whether or not to get a marriage certificate?

But later it veered off into the boring matter of whether there was a place to live and where to live.

It was very magical, but also very interesting.

Although Shi Ran was young, she knew that her father was not short of places to live.

It was ridiculous for her mother to use a chicken feather as an arrow and use a door key to threaten her father... but her father looked huffy on the surface, yet there was an undisguisable smile on his face.

He didn't smile at others, or rarely did, but he smiled the most when facing her mother and herself, especially her mother, and the doting in his eyes was so full it was about to overflow.

Sheng Hanyu noticed his daughter watching the fun, so his "anger" burned onto her as well: "Laughing at what? You heartless child, if your mother and I live on the streets, we'll have to take you with us."

Shi Youxuan echoed: "That's right, we'll definitely take you."

The two of them instantly shifted their fire to scare the child.

It was just that this child was not an ordinary child; she wouldn't be scared into "wailing."

Shi Ran held her mother's hand with one little hand and her father's with the other: "Let's go, let's run away from home together!"

In the end, the family of three went out to eat hot pot, and when they came back after eating, they were chatting and laughing just like usual, and the matter was considered over.

The elevator opened, and Shi Ran was the first to hop out.

Suddenly, someone "whooshed" out from the side and rushed toward the child.

"Ranran, dodge!" Shi Youxuan shouted loudly.

Sheng Hanyu's movements were faster than her voice; before Shi Youxuan's words had faded, he had already rushed out to shield his daughter behind him: "How did you get out? Go back."

The person who suddenly rushed out was Wang Yingzhi.

She had followed the same pattern, using sleeping pills to knock out the bodyguards and get out, just like last time.

When Wang Yingzhi saw Sheng Hanyu, she wanted to cry: "Son, Mom can't go on living, you have to stand up for me..."

Basically, if she started this way, she wouldn't finish without crying for ten or twenty minutes.

Sheng Hanyu said to Shi Youxuan: "You take Ranran back, I'll be right back."

After speaking, he grabbed Wang Yingzhi's arm and dragged her toward the elevator: "Let's go, let's go outside and talk."

But she wouldn't go.

Wang Yingzhi had one arm grabbed by Sheng Hanyu, while her other hand clung tightly to the wall and wouldn't let go: "I'm not leaving, I'm here to see my daughter-in-law and granddaughter, they haven't paid me their New Year greetings yet..."

Shi Youxuan was so angry she laughed; is this woman incapable of seeing things clearly her whole life?

This excuse was too pathetic.

Last time, it was Wang Yingzhi who came to cause a scene, scaring the child into a high fever in the middle of the night.

She was under guard by bodyguards precisely because of this, didn't she have any self-awareness? She still wanted Shi Youxuan and Shi Ran to pay her New Year greetings?

In her dreams.

"Ranran, let's go."

Shi Youxuan shielded Ranran, quickly went to the door from the other side, opened it, entered the house, and "bang," shut the door.

"Mom, is that person outside Grandma?"

"No."

Shi Youxuan immediately denied it.

Shi Ran tilted her little head and asked, "Why not? She said she is Daddy's mother, and last time Grandpa came, he also said she is Grandma. Why do you say she isn't?"

Shi Youxuan:...

This child is too fond of getting to the bottom of things; she has to figure out the ins and outs of everything.

But she cannot tell the child everything, especially things that have not yet been proven.

Just relying on an argument from decades ago that Daddy mentioned is not enough to prove that Sheng Hanyu was not born to Wang Yingzhi.

Shi Youxuan said, "That's right, she is Daddy's mother, but she has nothing to do with you. The word 'Grandma' is a term of respect, and a person like her is simply not worthy of respect, so we shouldn't pay attention to her, and there's no need to call her Grandma."

"Oh, I see, I understand now."

Shi Ran skipped back to her room.

She still remembered all the vicious curses that old woman had directed at her and her mother last time.

Shi Ran didn't have a single good impression of Wang Yingzhi either, she just didn't understand one thing: if this person is a relative, does one have to respect her even if one doesn't like her?

But now that Mom said there's no need, then there's no need.

Wang Yingzhi was ultimately dragged into the elevator.

As the elevator descended, her plan to use her granddaughter to morally blackmail her son fell through, and she instantly became pitiful again.

She begged Sheng Hanyu to go back with her and stand up for her, because this time Sheng Jiang was determined—he wanted to divorce her!

Sheng Hanyu brought Wang Yingzhi to the garage, and only after sitting in the car did he say, "Why does he want to divorce you?"

Wang Yingzhi thought her son was going to stand up for her, so she immediately began to list all of Sheng Jiang's "crimes" at length!

"He thinks I'm old, looks down on me, and wants to find a younger woman outside, that's why he wants to divorce me."

"Your father is old but his heart isn't, don't be fooled by his usual honest and simple appearance. Actually, he is secretly wicked. He doesn't want to leave a single cent of our assets to you; he goes out and spends money recklessly all day, supporting a little vixen, and gives all the money to others..."
