Chapter 504: Sheng Zichen

~8 min read 1,539 words

"Congratulations!"

Jian Yining slammed a fist onto Sheng Hanyu's shoulder.

"Mm," Sheng Hanyu said, being brief and to the point.

Jian Yining asked him, "Have you picked a name for the child yet?"

Sheng Hanyu:...

"Haven't picked one yet, I forgot."

Jian Yining:...

He didn't know what to say when even something like this could be forgotten.

When Sheng Hanyu said he "forgot," he just meant he hadn't gotten around to naming the child in the last two days.

It didn't mean he had forgotten the whole time.

In fact, he had been coming up with names the whole time; there were at least a few dozen, if not more.

It was just that every name he picked was looked down upon by Shi Youxuan—she looked down on every single one.

Then, when he asked her to name Xiao Erbao, she would act shamelessly and push it off, saying she was too busy and had no time.

Plus, the last two days had been spent moving house and worrying about Jian Yixin's condition, so it hadn't been settled.

Jian Yining urged him to go back quickly and get Xiao Erbao's name settled.

Because things like the birth certificate and household registration were imminent.

Sheng Hanyu then went back, and Sheng Jiang also arrived.

He stood at the door without going in, pacing outside the Hospital Ward.

Sheng Hanyu said, "Dad, why aren't you going in?"

Seeing his son approach, Sheng Jiang was very happy: "Great, I was just thinking about whether to call you. Has the child's name been settled?"

Sheng Hanyu:...

Another person asking about the name; it hadn't been settled.

He shook his head and told the truth: "No."

"No?" Sheng Jiang's face was beaming with joy, looking very happy. He took a piece of red paper folded into a perfect square out of his pocket and handed it to his son: "This is what I wrote. You guys take a look, if there's no problem... no, I mean if you like it, no, I mean just take a look, just take a look."

Written on it were the names Sheng Jiang had picked for his grandson.

In fact, he had always been bothered by Shi Ran's surname.

His granddaughter didn't have the surname Sheng but the surname Shi; what was the reason for that?

However, since his son didn't say anything, he didn't feel it was his place to express an opinion.

Now that there was a grandson, he should have the surname Sheng, right?

Sheng Jiang had considered it for a long time and racked his brains to come up with a few names to send over. The names weren't important; what was important was that the surname in front was "Sheng."

The honest man's little thoughts were also cautious and tinged with humility.

"Thank you, Dad. We can use this right away; you sent it just in time." Sheng Hanyu didn't think that much into it.

He took it and prepared to enter the Hospital Ward to discuss it with Shi Youxuan, then realized his father didn't intend to follow him in.

"You come in, let the caregiver bring the child out for you to see."

"Alright, alright." Only then did Sheng Jiang happily follow him in.

A father-in-law does not enter his daughter-in-law's Hospital Ward; Sheng Jiang strictly observed the proprieties.

But the Hospital Ward was divided into an inner and outer room; Shi Youxuan and the child were inside, while the outside was for the caregiver and family to rest and receive guests.

Erbao was too small to be carried outside, so Sheng Hanyu asked his father to wait in the reception area for a moment.

He went inside to tell Shi Youxuan, preparing to carry the child out for his father to see.

"Sure."

Shi Youxuan agreed readily; in fact, she felt it wouldn't have mattered even if her father-in-law had come in.

Her mother-in-law and Sheng Hanyu were both there, and she wasn't breastfeeding the child right now, so there was nothing to avoid.

"He won't come in. I'll carry the child out for him to see, and you two can settle on a name." Wang Yingzhi carried Erbao out.

Sheng Hanyu opened the red paper; it was a large sheet.

On it, several names were written neatly with a brush. Shi Youxuan only took one look, and she was so moved that tears were almost falling.

Her father-in-law had truly put his heart into this.

Under each name, there was a meaning, the reason for choosing such a name, and even numerological calculations.

He had thought of many things, but he was clumsy with words and couldn't express them, so he simply wrote everything on the paper, clear and easy to understand.

Sheng Zichen.

The two of them unanimously felt this name was good.

Erbao had the surname Sheng and his Five Elements lacked wood, so the middle character was "Zi."

"Zi" is a woody plant, and it can also represent "grain," "seedlings," "beans," or "crops."

It implies an abundance of food and clothing.

"Chen" refers to the time when a day has just begun, and it also implies hope.

Together, it is not only catchy and easy to remember, but it also has no obscure characters, so the teacher won't mispronounce the child's name when reading the roll call at school in the future!

Xiao Erbao's name was settled—Sheng Zichen!

In the outer room.

Sheng Hanyu came out and told his parents that the child's name had been settled, calling him "Sheng Zichen."

"Woooo..."

Sheng Jiang suddenly started crying, without any warning.

He left the mother and child stunned by his crying.

The mother and child looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you crying for no reason?" Wang Yinghao nudged him, slightly reproachful.

"Boo-hoo..." Sheng Jiang did not speak, he just cried.

Wang Yinghao hurriedly sent the child back, afraid of scaring the child.

Actually, it wouldn't scare him; the child was asleep.

He was sleeping very soundly, blowing bubbles with his mouth.

"What's wrong with Dad?" Shi Youxuan asked.

Wang Yinghao whispered to her daughter-in-law: "I reckon it's eight or nine parts likely that Xiao Erbao called out the name he gave him, and he's just excited."

Shi Youxuan:...

The truth was indeed exactly that.

Sheng Jiang left the hospital feeling exceptionally happy.

Shi Youxuan's Hospital Ward began to welcome guests in wave after wave.

First were Jian Yining and Jin Wan'er.

The two of them had finally managed to pacify Lady Jian, and they immediately came over to take a look.

"This is the birth gift I'm giving Zichen." Jian Yining handed a document envelope to Shi Youxuan.

"What's inside?"

Shi Youxuan joked with him: "You wouldn't be giving him shares directly, would you?"

"Open it and see."

She unwound the string on the envelope, opened it, and pulled out a document.

It wasn't shares, but a certificate of legal ownership for a multinational corporation.

The scale of the company was not small, and its fixed assets were also substantial; this was truly, genuinely wealthy!

Giving a company as a birth gift was the first time Shi Youxuan had ever heard of such a thing.

Zichen had become a big BOSS the moment he was born; even if he didn't have to do anything for the rest of his life, just lying on the company, he could live a life of abundance.

Shi Youxuan put the document back into the envelope, sealed it as it was, and returned it: "No, this is too precious, he cannot accept it."

"Why can't he accept it? If you don't want it, then throw it away; in any case, there is no reason for me to take back something I have given away." Jian Yining was decisive and overbearing.

Shi Youxuan:...

"How did you become like this now? Are you still going to be reasonable?" She had a headache.

The current Jian Yining was very different from the Jian Yining she knew before.

Of course, it wasn't that he had turned bad, it was just that his personality had changed quite a bit!

The Jian Yining of the past was a carefree, sunny big boy who was understanding and would never force others to do things they didn't like.

Now, however, he was becoming increasingly overbearing, and more and more like someone else.

Having one person like that around was enough; she really didn't need any more.

But even if she didn't need it, she had to take it.

It wasn't Jian Yining, but that company.

Jin Wan'er gave a pair of silver bracelets and a silver neck ring.

Yun Zhehao gave a high-end restaurant, and Ma Ling'er brought over several sets of beautiful baby clothes and Spring Shoes.

Sheng Zerong was in the ICU accompanying Jian Yixin and did not come over, but the gifts from the couple had been received long before Sheng Zichen was born—enough to fill an entire room!

What surprised everyone was that Lady Jian had also come.

She didn't just come; she also brought high-quality Blood Bird's Nest, sea cucumber, and other nourishing supplements.

Lady Jian had come to apologize.
