Chapter 505: Jian Yixin Learns Her Child Is Gone

"I'm sorry, sister." She wore a look of guilt, took Wang Yinghao's hand, and apologized sincerely: "Everything that happened during the day today was my fault."

"I have been longing and hoping, waiting day and night to hold my grandchild, only to receive the news that my daughter can never give birth again... And your family is adding a new member at this time, I was so jealous I could die, which is why I spoke without thinking. I don't have any issue with you at all, can you forgive me?"

Wang Yinghao was easygoing by nature.

With Lady Jian also appearing sincere, and her words sounding reasonable, she was no longer angry.

"I understand how you feel."

The two women shook hands and made peace.

Although Shi Youxuan was not on the scene, she could guess most of it from their conversation.

Lady Jian had figured things out so quickly?

She didn't believe it.

Lady Jian was full of praise for Sheng Zichen, complimenting the child on being beautiful and handsome, saying that when he grew up he would surely be a handsome man like his father, and who knows how many young girls he would charm.

Perfectly fine words coming out of her mouth.

They sounded wrong!

Lady Jian wanted to hold the child, and Wang Yingzhi was just about to agree, but Shi Youxuan refused: "Sorry, Auntie, it's time for my Zichen to be fed."

She snatched the child over first and put him into her own bedding.

This was a hint for her to leave; Lady Jian wasn't stupid, she could hear it.

She wasn't Wang Yingzhi; she didn't have the thick skin to linger and refuse to leave.

So she stood up to say goodbye!

After she left, Shi Youxuan asked her mother-in-law to close the door and cautioned: "You must not believe her words; that woman definitely has ill intentions."

"Really?"

Wang Yinghao was kind-hearted herself and wanted to believe that everyone was a good person.

She felt that Lady Jian shouldn't be that despicable!

"Just listen to me; in any case, we cannot let her get close to our Zichen. If she does something to the child, we won't even have time to cry."

Wang Yinghao:...

Although she didn't quite agree with her daughter-in-law's point of view, she still did as her daughter-in-law said.

Shi Youxuan didn't rest well all night.

Lady Jian came several more times, and twice it was even in the middle of the night, just wanting to hold the child!

This was too abnormal.

Who would visit a woman who had just given birth and a newborn in the middle of the night?

Didn't she want to let people rest?

Wang Yinghao became vigilant and didn't let her go into the inner room to disturb them. Both times she used the excuse that "the adult and child are sleeping" to put her off, telling her if she wanted to see the child, she should come back when it was light out.

After daybreak, Lady Jian came a few more times. Later she did see the child, but Shi Youxuan's precautions were indeed very strict; she had no opportunity to make a move at all!

Shi Youxuan had guessed right.

Lady Jian coming over repeatedly was indeed not to make friends, and certainly not to see the child.

She had been blinded by jealousy.

She had come several times intending to do something to the child, but Shi Youxuan's vigilance was too high, not giving her the slightest chance.

She was too anxious; this wouldn't work.

There was only one day left before Shi Youxuan would be discharged from the hospital with the child.

Leaving the hospital to go to the confinement center for postpartum care!

That was her own territory; if she didn't have a chance to make a move here, she would have even less of a chance elsewhere.

Lady Jian "racked her brains" and finally came up with a "good idea."

Jian Yixin was transferred to a general Hospital Ward.

Upon waking up, she inevitably threw a fit.

After the fit, she began a hunger strike, refusing to eat or drink!

Lady Jian and Sheng Zerong were both in the Hospital Ward accompanying her. If they were tired, they would switch with the group of Jian Yining, Jin Wan'er, and Ma Ling'er, monitoring her twenty-four hours a day.

Not a second did anyone leave the Hospital Ward, for fear that she might do something irreversible in a moment of despair.

Everyone could only serve the purpose of companionship.

As for persuasion, no one could persuade her.

She kept her eyes open—her two beautiful, large eyes—now staring at the ceiling without focus, not blinking for a long time.

She didn't even move her pupils.

No one could do anything; she ignored whatever anyone said to her.

Jian Yining said to his fiancée: "Go see if Xuanxuan can come over to persuade her. My sister might listen to what she says; no one else is of any use."

Lady Jian immediately objected: "No, you cannot let her come over."

"She is doing very well now; you want her to come and persuade your sister? It would be a miracle if she didn't anger your sister to death."

"If she can't come, that's fine, but do you have a better way?" Jian Yining frowned.

His mother didn't have such deep prejudices against Shi Youxuan before, but as Shi Youxuan's life got better and better, she grew to dislike Shi Youxuan more and more.

Jian Yining didn't like his mother being like this, but he had no choice.

Questioned by her son, Lady Jian fell silent.

What better way could she have?

If she had one, wouldn't she have brought it out long ago?

Jian Yining: "Since you have no better solution, let's do as I said. You shouldn't always act so high and mighty, thinking it's only natural for others to do anything for us."

"Wan'er has gone to invite her, but it's not certain she'll be able to bring her back."

In fact, as long as she went to invite her, Shi Youxuan would definitely come.

He said this on purpose, with the goal of raising Shi Youxuan's status and making his mother change her opinion of Shi Youxuan.

"Oh, our Wan'er goes to invite her and she won't come? She's really getting too big for her boots. They are sisters, after all; if she won't even give this much face, then Shi Youxuan is truly cold-hearted."

Jian Yining:...

His mother was impervious to reason; no matter what he said, it wouldn't work.

Jian Yining gave up on the possibility of changing his mother's mind, only warning her that it was fine to say such things in front of him, but it would be best not to have any other ideas, otherwise no one could save her.

He knew that if it weren't for the sake of him and his sister, Shi Youxuan would likely have taken action against his mother long ago!

She just couldn't see it and was still blindly confident; it was a headache.

His sister's health was the most important thing for the Jian Family right now; there should be no further complications.

Lady Jian agreed readily, but Jian Yining always had a vague, ominous premonition!

Jin Wan'er brought Shi Youxuan over.

Wang Yinghao wrapped her daughter-in-law up tightly; despite the hot weather, she had to wear a hat and long-sleeved clothes and trousers, and she repeatedly urged her several times not to let the air conditioning blow directly on her when she went out.

If she didn't have to stay behind to take care of Xiao Erbao, she would definitely have gone along.

"I know, don't worry, I'm not a child and I know how to take care of myself."

Shi Youxuan hugged her mother-in-law and acted spoiled.

There was no barrier between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law; their relationship was as good as that of a mother and daughter.

Shi Youxuan felt very fortunate that her mother-in-law was Wang Yinghao and not Wang Yingzhi; otherwise, let alone being taken care of, she would just have one more person looking for trouble and stirring up conflict.

Jian Yixin's Hospital Ward.

After Shi Youxuan entered, everyone else quietly retreated, leaving the space for the two of them.

Shi Youxuan didn't waste a single word and got straight to the point: "Yixin, you can scold me. It was my idea to drug you and perform the surgery."

"Why?"

Jian Yixin finally moved her gaze down from the ceiling; her expression made Shi Youxuan unable to bear looking at her—she was so pitiful.

"Because there are too many people who love you, and they couldn't watch you leave their side right before their eyes."

Jian Yixin flared up: "Shi Youxuan, who do you think you are? By what right do you make decisions for me? You have always been self-willed, doing whatever you want... but I only planned to be willful this one time in my life. Is even one time not allowed, huh?"

She was very heartbroken; she had been a "good girl" for half her life, and she just wanted to be willful this once, yet she hadn't managed to do it.

And the culprit was actually Shi Youxuan, the person she envied and was preparing to learn from.

Why could she live willfully, doing whatever she wanted, while she herself couldn't even be willful once?
