Chapter 514: Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Conflict 2

Sheng Jiang could not persuade his son, so he tried to persuade his wife.

"Are you really leaving? If you move out, what will you do if you miss Zichen?"

Wang Yinghao: "If you miss your grandson, just come back to see him, or you stay, and I will move out alone."

In truth, she did not absolutely have to move out; she was merely putting on an act to force Shi Youxuan to change her mind.

From the time Shi Youxuan was pregnant until now, she had always been the one taking care of her.

Both children were also especially close to her; if she were to move out and Shi Youxuan showed no reaction at all, that would be too disheartening.

There was indeed a reaction, but it was a little different from what she had imagined.

Wang Yingzhi dragged her suitcase down the stairs, while Shi Youxuan had been waiting in the living room for a long time.

"Mom, you're leaving just like that?" Her tone was indifferent.

Although Shi Youxuan was speaking to her mother-in-law, her gaze remained fixed on the television without shifting, and she giggled happily while eating cantaloupe, looking very cheerful.

Shi Ran snuggled up beside her mother, also giggling mindlessly.

Sheng Zichen was sleeping in his room, and Sheng Hanyu was guarding his son and did not appear.

Wang Yinghao could not help but feel a sense of sorrow in her heart.

She thought, what is the point of being good to this heartless family?

You can tell at a critical moment; they simply didn't hold her in any regard at all.

Perhaps they had long wanted to drive her away, finding her an eyesore.

Wang Yinghao could not rest easy letting Sheng Jiang stay behind.

Sheng Jiang decided not to leave with her for the time being, because he missed his grandson and could not bear not seeing him for even a day.

"Go pack your luggage, we will move out together," she said to Sheng Jiang.

Before Sheng Jiang could state his position, Shi Youxuan stated hers: "The luggage is already packed, don't you worry!"

As she spoke, she pulled a black suitcase from beside the sofa; it was quite large.

Heh.

So they had been prepared to drive them away all along?

They had even packed the suitcases for them.

But Sheng Jiang still did not want to leave; he hesitated, stammering as he stated his position: "Zichen is still sleeping upstairs, I have to go check on the child." Having said that, he went upstairs with a thud-thud-thud.

He ran quite fast.

It was as if he would be dragged out and driven away if he ran any slower.

Wang Yinghao glared at Sheng Jiang's back, her hands trembling with anger.

At a critical moment, he abandoned her and ran?

Unbelievable.

She was already very angry, but Shi Youxuan still wanted to continue to anger her.

Shi Youxuan said with a beaming smile: "Mom, are you still leaving or not? If you leave too late, you won't make it back in time for dinner."

Wang Yinghao smiled miserably: "You want to drive me away that much? Can you not even wait a few minutes?"

She was so sad she wanted to cry, but she held it back.

She had always cherished her daughter-in-law as if she were her own daughter, yet she never expected that when Shi Youxuan drove people away, she would not leave even a shred of decency.

She didn't even want to pretend to be polite, simply opening her mouth to drive her away.

Shi Youxuan acted as if she hadn't noticed her mother-in-law's tear-filled eyes and bleeding heart at all.

She turned off the television, stood up, brushed the snack crumbs off her body, and said to Wang Yinghao: "That's right, if you're going to leave, just hurry up; I hate dawdling the most."

Shi Ran also stood up, performing the same action as Shi Youxuan, and said similar words: "Hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait either."

Two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks, cold and bitter.

Wang Yinghao had originally wanted to wait for her husband to leave together, but now she could not stay for even another minute.

She said hatefully: "Fine, I'll go, I'll go right now!"

Wang Yingzhi dragged her suitcase and walked in front, and she could hear Shi Youxuan and her daughter following behind.

The sound of footsteps was for two people, but why—was the "swish" sound of suitcase wheels on the floor not just her own?

She did not look back and walked out the front door.

It was impossible to hail a taxi in the residential complex; if one wanted a taxi, one had to walk out of the complex.

Wang Yingzhi walked in front, and the sound of footsteps and suitcases on the path behind her did not disappear.

On the way, she encountered a Security Guard on patrol, who greeted her: "Mrs. Sheng, is your whole family going on a trip?"

"Hmm?"

The whole family, a trip?

She looked back and saw Shi Youxuan and Shi Ran each dragging a suitcase, following behind her!

"What are you two doing?" Wang Yinghao asked, puzzled.

Shi Youxuan waited until the Security Guard had passed before saying: "Moving with you, we're going wherever you go!"

Shi Ran: "That's right, Grandpa can't bear to part with Xiao Erbao, and we can't bear to part with you either, so Mom and I decided to go with you."

Wang Yinghao:...

"If you two come with me, who will take care of Xiao Erbao?"

As soon as she said it, she realized something was wrong; that wasn't what she meant at all.

But Shi Youxuan immediately replied with a beaming smile: "Once we get settled, Hanyu and Dad will bring Xiao Erbao over; a family should of course be together, we can't be separated."

Was she trying to use her cleverness to muddle through?

Wang Yinghao simply laid it out clearly: "The four of you are a family; we two old folks are not."

Shi Youxuan: "Your word alone doesn't count. You say we aren't family, so we aren't? If we weren't family, why did you take such meticulous care of me when I was pregnant with Xiao Erbao?"

"If we weren't family, why did you never abandon us when Hanyu went missing?"

"If we weren't family, why did you care for Ranran so attentively?"

"Speak, why don't you speak?"

Shi Youxuan's "reproach" pulled Wang Yinghao back into those most difficult days.

Back when Sheng Hanyu went missing, and Shi Youxuan was pregnant and at her lowest emotional point.

She suppressed her own grief to take care of her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, using shoulders that were not strong to stubbornly carry the weight of a family.

When she was sold to a mountain village by her sister, it was also Shi Youxuan who participated in the mission to save her, snatching her back from the hands of death.

Otherwise, even if she hadn't been tortured to death, she would have died of illness.

Those events tested by life and death, one by one, all surged into her mind.

Her relationship with Shi Youxuan as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should be more solid than many relationships that appear harmonious on the surface, because it is a bond that has been tested by life and death.

Now being "questioned" by her daughter-in-law, she was momentarily speechless.

Shi Youxuan took the opportunity to come over and hook her arm, saying "unreasonably": "You can't answer, can you? If you can't answer, then come back with me. Otherwise, the two of us will go with you. Anyway, wherever you go, we go. Don't even think about leaving us behind!"

"You say we aren't family, so we aren't? Your word alone doesn't count. As long as we don't agree, it doesn't count."

Wang Yinghao:...

Having a daughter-in-law who doesn't play by the rules and is unreasonable—this life... actually seems quite interesting!

Her pent-up resentment invisibly lessened by half.

But she still had to leave.

As long as Shi Youxuan did not back down on the matter of Xiao Erbao's Ganqin, she could not easily compromise.

Wang Yinghao laid her cards on the table: "Alright, stop playing word games with me. Anyway, I just don't agree to letting Zichen have Jian Yixin as a godmother. I absolutely do not agree to this. If you don't let me leave now, I will ruin things for you all tomorrow at the full-month banquet."

"By then, Jian Yixin will be even more embarrassed. You had better let me leave now to save everyone from losing face tomorrow."

Shi Youxuan: "Mom, can we go back and discuss this?"

Wang Yinghao: "There is nothing to discuss."

The matter went in a circle, as if it were a loop, still without a result.

Neither the mother-in-law nor the daughter-in-law was willing to give in; Wang Yinghao was not even willing to discuss it!

Seeing the look on Shi Youxuan's face, she knew she didn't intend to agree, so she grabbed her suitcase again, prepared to leave: "Move aside. I know you are a good child, but this matter really doesn't need to be discussed. I will absolutely not agree."
