Chapter 441: New Home
The house Sheng Hanyu bought for his own family is in the best location in the residential complex, and it is also the largest and most impressive one.
Although this is a property under the Ding Sheng banner, the house the Chairman lives in is the same as everyone else's and also requires payment.
The Villa is located in the center of the complex, with a distance of at least one hundred meters between buildings, and green belts in between to maximize the spacing between buildings and the privacy of the owners.
The complex separates pedestrians and vehicles; when it is time to officially move in, one can simply drive in through the underground passage entrance at the main gate of the complex and drive directly into one's own garage.
The reason for parking at the gate of the complex today and walking in is that the family of three wants to see the environment of the complex and get familiar with it.
But it is precisely this very ordinary action that gives rise to a lot of trouble.
The environment of the complex is excellent, with lawns, though it is just early spring, so the grass has not yet sprouted.
In another half a month, when the trees sprout and the grass grows out, it will be very beautiful!
Besides the lawns, there is also an artificial river in the complex; the river channel is irregular in shape, at most just over a meter wide and less than half a meter deep.
The river water uses an internationally advanced circulation system, and the water quality is clear enough to raise fish.
Beautiful koi swim back and forth in the river, and occasionally there are emerald green water plants in the water, which contrast with the golden and red fish, making it a pleasing sight.
In addition, there are peach trees and plum trees in the complex, symbolizing "peaches and plums all over the world" (a metaphor for having many students).
Various fitness equipment, rubber tracks, gazebos and benches, indoor gyms... there is everything one could expect; if you can think of it, there is nothing they haven't done here!
"Daddy, it's so beautiful here, when can we move in?" The little girl tugged at Sheng Hanyu's hand, already a bit impatient.
"Very soon, be good, don't rush." Sheng Hanyu looked at his daughter dotingly and reached out to ruffle her hair.
It seems that choosing this place for the new house was the right decision.
Originally, Sheng Hanyu wanted to buy a piece of land in the suburbs to build a super-large luxury mansion specifically for the family to live in.
However, considering living in the suburbs, it would be inconvenient for the child to go to school.
Just the commute alone would take more than an hour, so it is better to live in a place close to the school; it wouldn't even take ten minutes to walk there without needing a car.
Moreover, the surrounding living area is full of mature supporting commercial districts, not only with elementary schools and kindergartens.
There is also the best middle school in Jiangzhou, and the high school is also nearby.
In addition, there are hospitals, banks, shopping malls, and leisure facilities; everything is convenient.
Although it is not as big as the former Sheng Family mansion, it is enough for the family to be together.
Finally, they arrived in front of the house.
Actually, it is not considered small.
It has three floors in total, with a front and back yard.
The first floor has a servant's room, living room, kitchen, and storage room.
The second floor has secondary bedrooms, a children's room, a guest room, a Study, and a small reception room.
The third floor is the master bedroom, a Study, and functional areas, plus a sunroom and a spacious balcony.
The large terrace on the top floor is also excellent; when the weather is good, one can have a barbecue on it.
Shi Youxuan walked around the house and fell in love with it; she was very satisfied.
Seeing that the family of three was satisfied, the manager immediately called the designer over to present the renovation plan, so that any different opinions could be raised right then.
Just as the designer arrived, Shi Youxuan's phone rang; it was Jian Yixin calling: "Xuanxuan, you all come to my mother's house immediately, come right now."
Her tone was very urgent.
Although she didn't say what happened, it must be something very important, otherwise Jian Yixin wouldn't be so anxious.
Shi Youxuan didn't ask and promised: "Okay, we'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone, before she could speak, Sheng Hanyu had someone drive the car in to pick them up.
This would save time compared to walking out themselves; he had heard the urgent words Jian Yixin said on the phone just now.
The Jian Family.
As soon as the three of them entered the door, they felt that the atmosphere was wrong.
The servants were not around, but the Jian family members were all there; Sheng Zerong is the son-in-law of the Jian family, so his presence was not strange.
What was strange was that Yun Zhehao and Ma Ling'er were also sitting on the sofa, looking worried.
Lady Jian and her daughter were hugging each other and crying silently, Jian Yixin was softly comforting her mother, and the men were discussing something on the side with very grave expressions.
The atmosphere in the living room was very oppressive.
Sheng Hanyu asked: "What happened?"
Lady Jian raised her head from her daughter's arms, her eyes swollen like peaches, and she grabbed Shi Youxuan's hand: "Miss Shi, please save my son, I beg you..."
As she said this, she actually started to kneel to her, which scared Shi Youxuan into jumping to the side.
What does this mean?
Kneeling without saying a word, is this moral kidnapping?
Given the relationship between the two families, if there were a difficult situation, how could she and Sheng Hanyu stand by and watch?
They would definitely try their best to help.
But if they couldn't help, wouldn't kneeling make things difficult for them?
Sheng Hanyu frowned, displeased.
Since he was a child, he didn't like Lady Jian very much; this woman was fine in other respects, but she was too overprotective of her children.
Whatever her own children did, it was always right; even if it was wrong, it was right.
If other people's children had friction with her own children, it must be the other person's fault!
It was thanks to Jian Xiansheng being a reasonable person that Jian Yining and his sister were not ruined by their mother's upbringing.
Now that she suddenly knelt to Shi Youxuan, besides causing dissatisfaction for the two of them, Jian Yixin and Jian Fu also quickly intervened.
"Mom, what are you doing? Get up quickly, Xuanxuan is not an outsider, don't make things so distant." Jian Yixin pulled her mother up, which prevented her from kneeling down.
Jian Fu said, "Xuanxuan, don't mind it; your aunt is muddled with anxiety, don't blame her."
Lady Jian: "Miss Shi, I beg you to save A Ning. Right now, only you can save him. We truly had no other way, which is why we asked you to come. If I had even the slightest other option, I would never beg you for something like this..."
Lady Jian was too emotional; she only cared about "begging" Shi Youxuan to save her son, but she hadn't said a single word about the cause and effect of the matter.
"Yixin, help your mother back to her room."
At the critical moment, Jian Fu stepped out to take charge of the situation. He waited for the mother and daughter to leave before explaining the cause and effect of the matter to them.
Jian Yining was kidnapped in the United States.
His girlfriend was also kidnapped at the same time.
This kidnapping was different from an ordinary one—Jian Yining was kidnapped by Feiying!
"Feiying"—this name was not unfamiliar to Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu, and even Shi Ran remembered it.
Back when they were in L Country, Feiying kidnapped all the children and parents in the kindergarten.
At that time, Sheng Hanyu disguised himself as Alisha and took a knife blow for Shi Youxuan, and so Shi Youxuan and Alisha became sworn sisters.
This incident was indelible in the hearts of the three of them, and the memory was still fresh.
"What does he want?" After Shi Youxuan finished asking, she added, "What can I do? Uncle, please don't have any reservations. As long as it is within my power, I will definitely spare no cost to rescue A Ning."
Feiying was ruthless and killed without blinking.
But he was very "trustworthy"; as long as his demands were met, the hostages would be safe.
"He has two conditions: first, he wants one billion Rice Round, and second... is... is..."
Jian Fu looked troubled, stammering and unable to say it.
Seeing his father-in-law in a difficult position, Sheng Zerong simply helped him say it: "Feiying demands that you go and replace A Ning, a one-for-two trade."
