Chapter 498: Celebrating the Move to a New Home

Arriving at the bedroom door, Shi Youxuan suddenly straightened her back, turned her head to make a face at her mother-in-law, and stuck out her tongue: "Of course not, look at me, I'm perfectly fine, nothing is wrong at all."

"You brat, you had me worried for nothing," Wang Yinghao chided.

After changing her clothes and coming out, Shi Youxuan told Fang Jie: "Your husband and son have already been sent to the airport by Lao Qi. They definitely have to suffer a little; you won't feel bad for them, will you?"

"I won't feel bad, I won't feel bad at all. Madam, you've done me such a huge favor, how can I ever thank you enough?"

As Fang Jie said this, she started to kneel to Shi Youxuan.

It gave her a fright; why were these people all so willing to kneel?

She could not accept such a grand gesture.

Wang Yingzhi helped Fang Jie up in time, not letting her kneel, and told her there was no need to thank her.

Shi Youxuan had too many mischievous ideas; if she didn't let her use them, she would probably burst from keeping them bottled up!

Shi Youxuan was killing many birds with one stone.

She hadn't just solved one difficult problem for Fang Jie; from now on, the father and son wouldn't come to harass Fang Jie for a very long time.

Firstly, they were far apart, and secondly, communication was inconvenient.

From the Island to Jiangzhou, they were separated by ten thousand miles across the ocean and weren't even in the same country; once they went, they could only return after the construction on the Island was finished.

Shi Youxuan had already spoken to Wang Yong, arranging for the father and son to be on two different islands so they couldn't see each other, lest they put their heads together and think up more mischief.

With the father and son not together, it would also help Fang Jie's son change his old bad habits.

The child wasn't very old yet, and his personality hadn't formed into a fixed pattern.

Shi Youxuan had also noticed just now that although the child had a pile of bad habits, he wasn't bad at his core; as long as he was guided by good people, changing him wouldn't be very difficult.

But for now, they still had to suffer a bit; suffering a little when young was more beneficial for growth.

Wang Yong would deposit the majority of the father and son's monthly salary into Fang Jie's account!

As for the small amount of pocket money left for the father and son, they actually had nowhere to spend it anyway.

But having a little money in hand provided motivation; Shi Youxuan had considered every aspect very thoroughly.

And facts proved that she was indeed right.

Shi Youxuan had come up with a random idea that changed a pair of scoundrel father and son, and Fang Jie's later years were very happy—but that is a story for another time.

……

On a bright and breezy morning.

Shi Youxuan, with her big belly, was joyfully directing the moving workers.

"Master, please be slow with this one, do not break it under any circumstances, my favorite cup is inside."

"Take that one later, take this one first."

Sheng Hanyu came over to support her as she walked out: "Alright, don't worry about small things like moving items, go sit in the car. You keep telling people to be slow with this and gentle with that; the most precious thing in our family right now is you, not anything else."

Shi Youxuan was quite happy at first; of course, she was happy to be valued by her husband.

But she soon sensed something was wrong, so she stood still and glared: "What do you mean? Am I an object? You actually compare me to items; I think you're looking for trouble."

All eyes were on them.

Sheng Hanyu had his ear pinched!

This wasn't even the most surprising part; the most surprising part was—Sheng Hanyu didn't get angry when his ear was pinched, but instead begged for mercy.

"Wife, I was wrong, don't be angry, Madam Wife. It was a slip of the tongue, that was just a slip of the tongue."

What was this situation?

The famous Sheng Hanyu of Jiangzhou was having his ear pinched by his wife in public.

Everyone was so shocked their eyeballs almost fell out; from then on, Sheng Hanyu's reputation for being "afraid of his wife" spread like wildfire, and everyone knew it.

Moving to the new home, it was much bigger than the Apartment.

When the things were mostly organized, Jian Yixin arrived!

She didn't come alone; she and Sheng Zerong brought a whole carload of baby supplies.

The originally empty nursery was soon piled full.

From big items like the crib to small items like baby bottles and pacifiers, there was nothing Jian Yixin hadn't prepared.

It was as complete as could be, even including a full set of toiletries, prickly heat powder, and diapers for after the child was born, all with the latest expiration dates.

Jian Yixin had ordered these from the manufacturers, refining the original craftsmanship even further, striving for perfection to make the "good" reach the extreme.

Additionally, all the child's toys were limited editions, and many were even the only ones of their kind in the world.

You couldn't buy any of these things on the market even if you wanted to.

For the past few months, Jian Yixin had basically done nothing else but scour the world for the best baby supplies, all referenced against royal standards.

"I thank you on behalf of Erbao."

Shi Youxuan performed an ancient court bow to Jian Yixin, her mood very pleasant.

Originally, she should have prepared these things herself, but Jian Yixin told her not to worry, that she would send them over when the time came, and they would definitely be better than what she could prepare herself.

Now that they were delivered, it was indeed so.

It wasn't just good; it was very good.

When moving to a new home, everyone comes to congratulate you, and you have to treat everyone to a meal.

Under normal circumstances, this meal shouldn't be eaten at a restaurant; the hostess should personally cook a table of dishes to entertain everyone.

This is called "lighting the fire," signifying that life will be prosperous and flourishing in the future.

However, Shi Youxuan's cooking skills... let's just forget it.

Everyone didn't want to discourage her, so they declined on the grounds that her body was currently inconvenient.

Fang Jie and Wang Yinghao cooked a table full of delicious food in the kitchen, and Shi Youxuan went in to walk around for a bit, posing as if she had made it.

As the food was served, Yun Zhehao and Ma Ling'er arrived right at mealtime.

Jian Yining and Jin Wan'er arrived even later, and it wasn't just the two of them, but a whole family—Jian Xiansheng and Lady Jian also came.

Jian Fu originally didn't want to come; it was a matter for the young people, and he felt there was no need to get involved.

But Lady Jian insisted on coming to join the fun; she didn't want to miss any opportunity to repair her relationship with Shi Youxuan.

Moreover, she had something to ask of Shi Youxuan this time.

The date for her son's wedding was set, but the two of them didn't plan to live in Jiangzhou after the wedding and were going back to the United States, which made Lady Jian very unhappy!

The reason Jian Yining gave was that both of their careers were in the United States, where they had spent many years developing better prospects.

But she felt this wasn't a reason; the reason was that her future daughter-in-law wanted to "monopolize" her son and wouldn't let her see him often.

She thought about it at home for several days.

She felt that she still had to ask Shi Youxuan about this matter.

Shi Youxuan and Jin Wan'er were like sisters, so having her persuade them would be most appropriate.

So she came, and of course, she also brought generous gifts.

When Sheng Hanyu saw Lady Jian, the smile on his face disappeared, but for the sake of Jian Yining, he didn't say anything.

"Hello, Uncle. Hello, Aunt."

Shi Youxuan greeted the elders with a smile, then invited everyone to take their seats, as if she had forgotten all the previous unpleasantness.

Shi Yucheng was the last one to arrive.

Sheng Hanyu had talked to his father-in-law several times, hoping that he could live with them for the sake of convenience in taking care of him.

But he was rejected by Shi Yucheng every time.

He was used to living in the nursing home and liked the quietness and the good air there.

However, since they were moving today, he still had to come to celebrate, and his congratulatory gift was a bag of new rice!

The rice was grown by himself; although the gift wasn't expensive, the sentiment was heavy, and it was a good omen.

Everyone was present, and they took their seats.

Sheng Jiang sat at the head of the table; he was a bit at a loss and very reserved.

Because the person sitting at the head of the table had to say something at a time like this, such as expressing the host's gratitude to the guests.

But he didn't know what to say.

Sheng Jiang had never been the head of the household in his life, so he really had no experience.

He was clearly the host, but he acted more reserved than the guests; he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and he kept shifting his bottom on the chair, as if there were something pricking him on the seat.
