Chapter 491: The Status Waited For Over Many Years
When it came time for the testing, the Security Guard saw Shi Youxuan and the elderly couple drawing blood for analysis, and only then did he suddenly realize!
"You aren't testing for the father of the fetus?"
Shi Youxuan was not annoyed; she even teased as if it were none of her business: "Are you silly? Did you guess wrong?"
From the moment they entered the main gate and the Security Guard started following them, Shi Youxuan knew the Security Guard had misunderstood.
Shi Youxuan didn't think much of it; after all, this was a paternity testing center, and those who came for tests were basically fathers bringing young children, though there were certainly many pregnant women as well.
However, in a situation like theirs, there probably weren't any pregnant women looking for their own relatives.
The test results came out very quickly.
The expedited type provided results in half an hour, and the results were as expected—Shi Youxuan was indeed a child of the Jin Family.
Shi Youxuan and Jin Wan'er were twins, but who was the older sister and who was the younger sister was unknown; it was impossible to verify.
The Old Madam was especially happy.
Slipping a solid emerald Jade Bracelet off her wrist and putting it on Shi Youxuan's, the Old Madam told her: "This was given to me by your great-grandmother when I married your grandfather back then."
"There was a pair when it was given to me, and it should have been passed down to a daughter-in-law, but... one was given to Wan'er, and this one is just right for you." The Old Madam stopped halfway through her sentence and changed the subject; although she didn't say it all, everyone understood the meaning.
The two girls' biological mother was not acknowledged, so the bracelet that should have been passed to a daughter-in-law wasn't given out, and was instead given directly to the granddaughters.
Shi Youxuan was not lacking in rare treasures, but this bracelet had a wonderful significance; it could be passed down as a family heirloom in the future, and she cherished it very much.
Shi Youxuan had "acknowledged her ancestors and returned to the clan," but she still had a question.
That was, who was her biological mother?
What was her status?
It had been so long, and the old couple had never said a single word about their mother.
Shi Youxuan wouldn't be foolish enough to ask the old couple, so she invited Jin Wan'er out alone to ask her about this matter.
Jin Wan'er didn't know either.
Jin Wan'er told her: "You're right not to ask about this; Grandfather and Grandmother are sensitive about it. I asked twice when I was little; Grandfather wouldn't answer and only sighed, and Grandmother was so sad she didn't eat for two days. After that, I never dared to ask again."
Shi Youxuan: "Then I'll go investigate. If the results come out, do you want to know?"
"Yes, I do."
Jin Wan'er nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice, repeatedly indicating that she wanted to know.
The sisters reached a consensus and left the coffee shop.
Before Shi Youxuan could even begin her investigation, something happened at her parents-in-law's place!
The Villa caught fire.
Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt, but the Villa was burned until nothing was left.
The pigs, chickens, and geese that Sheng Jiang had raised for his daughter-in-law were all mature.
The arsonist was caught very quickly—Wang Yingzhi!
She had actually escaped from Prison.
The "motivation" that made her escape was the news that Sheng Jiang was going to marry Wang Yinghao.
Wang Yingzhi was furious; she had gone to great lengths to break out of prison just to stop the two from getting married.
But she was still one step too late.
By the time she escaped from prison, not only had the two finished getting their marriage certificate, but the wedding had already been held.
Wang Yingzhi was incredibly jealous; she had spent so many years painstakingly managing things, and now she had nothing.
Originally, she had fantasized about being nicer to Sheng Jiang after getting out of prison, then begging him to forgive her, so she could still live in luxury for the rest of her life.
Although Sheng Hanyu wasn't her biological son, his father was still her own, and Sheng Hanyu would have to be nicer to her for the sake of Sheng Jiang!
She had planned it well, but she hadn't expected that before she could get out, the outside world would have changed drastically.
Sheng Jiang and Wang Yinghao had gotten married.
This was something she absolutely, absolutely could not accept, so she escaped to stop it.
Seeing that she couldn't stop it, she went crazy with anger on the spot.
She didn't know where she got gasoline, but in the middle of the night, she poured it on the outer wall and set the house on fire.
The housekeeper, Zhang Ma, was the first to discover the open flames and shouted for the servants to get up and put out the fire quickly.
The fire was too big to put out, and they couldn't even get out through the front door.
Everyone escaped through the back door.
Wang Yingzhi wasn't smart enough either; after setting the fire, you should run, but she didn't!
She hid behind the house, preparing to watch the excitement, but as a result, everyone ran out from the back door, and it was too late for her to run.
Wang Yingzhi was caught and brought back, and given a heavy sentence!
Her original ten-year sentence was changed to life imprisonment, and the prison was also heavily fined for its lax management; it was estimated that this time she would sit in jail until she died and never get out.
Sheng Jiang cried very sadly, sitting in front of the Villa crying for his pigs, chickens, and geese.
Jian Yixin felt guilty and regretful.
She blamed herself for Wang Yingzhi's prison break.
If she hadn't deliberately gone to the prison to tell Wang Yingzhi, Wang Yingzhi wouldn't have broken out, and if she hadn't broken out, she wouldn't have burned the house down, causing the newly married old couple to have nowhere to live now.
Actually, there was a place to live; it was just that there was no place to raise small animals anymore!
Shi Youxuan comforted her father-in-law: "Dad, don't be sad. I'm going to a confinement center for my postpartum recovery; I won't even be returning home."
"The meals are all prepared by the confinement center, so I wouldn't be able to eat what you've raised anyway."
Sheng Jiang wiped his tears, half-believing: "Really?"
Shi Youxuan nodded: "Of course it's true. Otherwise, ask Hanyu."
Sheng Hanyu was right beside them; he nodded and said concisely: "Mm." A single word expressed everything.
Sheng Jiang stopped crying over the animals and started crying over his property: "Such a good house burned down, and everything inside, it's all gone to waste. That woman Wang Yingzhi is too wicked; she has plagued me for most of my life and can't stand to see me have anything good..."
Shi Youxuan turned and walked away.
If he wants to cry, let him cry; she couldn't stand it.
It was fortunate that Hanyu's temper didn't take after his father, otherwise, life would be impossible!
Her parents-in-law moved downstairs.
The house that Hanyu had bought to conveniently deliver food to the mother and daughter now had a use.
However, they were only staying there temporarily; once the new house had been aired out for a while, the whole family could move in.
The new house had been renovated three months ago, and now the property management would ventilate it regularly every day; one couldn't be careless when there were small children in the family.
Although all the renovation materials were eco-friendly, one still had to be careful and pay attention; being cautious never hurts!
Hospital.
Sheng Hanyu accompanied Shi Youxuan for her prenatal check-up.
Shi Youxuan had walked down this corridor leading to the obstetrics and gynecology department many times, but this was the first time she felt a sense of triumph.
Her husband was on her left, and her mother-in-law was supporting her on her right.
This feeling was simply too good!
The fetus was already eight months old.
It was the first time Sheng Hanyu saw his son on the display screen; it was so magical.
The little guy was grabbing the umbilical cord and doing somersaults in his mother's belly, but after just one flip, he turned away and stopped moving.
He hadn't seen enough yet, and the little guy wouldn't let him see anymore?
Sheng Hanyu was incredibly anxious, but being anxious was useless; the little guy just kept his back to the monitor, not moving at all!
"Doctor, make him turn around," Sheng Hanyu commanded.
Doctor:...
Shi Youxuan gave him a reproachful glare: "The doctor can't decide these things; you have to be the one to talk to him so he'll turn around."
The doctor laughed: "That's right, Mr. Sheng. Your wife is correct; you haven't spent much time with Baobao, and he's turned his back on you because he's angry."
Sheng Hanyu:...
So even an unborn child has emotions and can perceive things from the outside.
Sheng Hanyu was in a real dilemma now.
He really wanted to say something nice to his son, but he couldn't say it in front of outsiders!
Wang Yinghao said to the doctor with a smile: "Could you introduce the things a pregnant woman needs to pay attention to lately? I'm getting old, and sometimes I can't remember things after being told once or twice."
"Alright, please come with me."
The doctor took Wang Yinghao to the office.
Sheng Hanyu closed the door, locked it, and returned with a light step.
