Chapter 516: Having a Mental Illness, the Whole Person Feels Much More Spirited

"Shi Yuke is pregnant?" Jian Yixin was a bit shocked.

Shi Yuke had been drugged by Bai Xue back then and originally thought she would never have children again in her life, but now she was pregnant, yet she herself... would never be able to have children again in her life.

Shi Youxuan had unintentionally poked at the pain in Jian Yixin's heart.

Her expression was a bit dim; she was disappointed but not jealous.

Shi Youxuan said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you."

Jian Yixin laughed magnanimously, "What are you apologizing for? It's fine, I'm not my mother, and I certainly don't have a fragile heart."

Shi Youxuan gave Jian Yixin a thumbs-up in admiration.

Someone who can actively uncover their own scars and let others see them openly shows a frank heart and an open mind; most people cannot do this.

Not only did she openly poke at the awkward matter, but she also called Shi Yucheng and took the initiative to offer to go take care of Shi Yuke.

Shi Yucheng originally didn't want to trouble others, but he happened to be short-handed at the time and truly couldn't manage alone, so he agreed.

Although he agreed, his meaning was that she could just come over when she had time; there was no rush.

In fact, Shi Yucheng having no help was mainly because Shi Yuke was acting up herself!

Originally, Shi Liu following her around and taking care of things was quite good.

However, even though Shi Yuke was six months pregnant, she hadn't forgotten to be infatuated—she had taken a fancy to Shi Liu!

Shi Liu was handsome and dashing.

Shi Yuke, holding her big belly, batted her eyes at Shi Liu and offered him olive branches.

With both explicit and implicit hints, Shi Liu was disgusted to the core.

Shi Yucheng had scolded his eldest daughter several times, but it had no effect.

Shi Yuke went her own way and still hovered around Shi Liu every day.

Shi Liu was helpless, so he took long-term leave to avoid her.

If you can't afford to offend someone, can't you at least hide from them?

But because of this, Shi Yucheng had no one to use by his side, and he didn't want to keep troubling Shi Youxuan, so he hadn't told her about this matter.

After hanging up the phone, Jian Yixin was ready to leave immediately.

Shi Youxuan reminded her, "You can't leave now; the Ganqin ceremony is in a moment, and you are the protagonist; you cannot leave."

Jian Yixin smiled, "It's the same if Ze Rong replaces me."

"No, you still can't leave; I can have someone else go to the hospital to help out."

She knew that what Jian Yixin said was merely an excuse.

Jian Yixin simply laid her cards on the table, "Xuanxuan, let me tell you the truth: I don't have the face to attend today's Ganqin ceremony, but I want Zichen to be my godson so much that I didn't tell you the ceremony was canceled..."

That day at the Sheng Family, Jian Yixin had been humiliated by Wang Yinghao.

After returning, she had considered that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would definitely be unhappy because of this matter.

She knew Shi Youxuan's temper; she would absolutely not go back on her word.

She had also thought about simply canceling the plan to make Sheng Zichen her godson, which could also avoid putting Shi Youxuan in a difficult position.

But Jian Yixin liked Sheng Zichen too much; she thought about it for a long time and really couldn't bear to give it up.

In the end, she decided to be thick-skinned and accept Sheng Zichen as her godson; there is plenty of time in the future, and she would use a long time to prove to Wang Yinghao that she is different from Lady Jian.

So, she hadn't called Shi Youxuan in the past two days to proactively cancel the Ganqin ceremony.

But Jian Yixin had already made up her mind to find an excuse to leave before the ceremony today and not participate in it herself!

This was the best method she could think of.

It could both let Wang Yinghao calm her resentment slightly and allow herself to become Sheng Zichen's godmother.

Going to the hospital was indeed a pretext, but it was just a matter of following the flow.

Even if she didn't go to help Shi Yucheng, she would have had other reasons to leave!

Shi Youxuan agreed.

Jian Yixin left Sheng Zichen's full-month banquet.

After Xiao Erbao was carried out to make an appearance before everyone and received valuable gifts and red envelopes, he fell asleep contentedly.

The Ganqin ceremony officially began.

Sheng Zerong explained to everyone that his wife had a very urgent matter that she had to deal with immediately, and he would represent her here!

Although the godmother left due to an "urgent matter," the gifts were not lacking, as the godfather presented them on her behalf.

Sheng Zichen didn't even wake up; he gained a pair of parents while sleeping soundly!

The ceremony ended, and the banquet began.

At this time, Jin Laoyezi and his wife finally arrived late!

The old couple had traveled a long way; they hadn't rested for a moment after getting off the plane and rushed over, fearing they would miss the birth of their great-grandson and the full-month banquet, but fortunately, they made it.

A Country was drafting laws, and both Jin Laoyezi and his wife were involved, so they really couldn't make it over during this time.

With the elders of the in-laws having arrived, they sat at the head table without question.

During the banquet, the old couple praised Shi Ran endlessly, especially for the little girl's performance in the competition this time.

Even without mentioning the results, that level of composure and calmness was not something a child of that age should have.

Jin Laoyezi concluded—Shi Ran will definitely have great achievements when she grows up!

The atmosphere was very harmonious when Sheng Jiang suddenly said, "It's useless even if she has achievements; she doesn't have the surname Sheng."

The air suddenly went quiet, and the atmosphere became awkward immediately.

He suddenly blurted out this sentence; what was that even about?

Shi Youxuan wanted to immediately retort to her father-in-law, but her mother-in-law was faster than her and immediately poked her husband in the waist, telling him to stop talking.

She also apologized to the Jin Family elders and Shi Youxuan.

Sheng Jiang usually had no presence at home, and no one cared when he spoke.

Honest people often say astonishing things, and everyone would just laugh tolerantly and let it pass.

After all, he still had to be given face.

Although his word didn't count for much at home, his status remained.

Especially when out in public, he had to be given face as well.

Therefore, Shi Youxuan did not make a sound.

She had originally thought that after Wang Yinghao apologized, this matter would be over.

However, Sheng Hanyu suddenly spoke up, protectively defending his wife: "If you mention this matter again in the future, I will also change Zichen's surname, and let him take the surname Shi as well."

Sheng Jiang:...

He had not expected that he would end up lifting a rock only to drop it on his own feet.

He immediately stated that he would not mention it again, never again!

Because Shi Ran had the surname Shi, Sheng Jiang had always been brooding over this matter, and he had often spoken to his son about it, telling him to change his granddaughter's surname back.

Sheng Hanyu had already made it very clear to his father—he would not change his daughter's surname; he would let her keep the surname Shi.

He thought his father had understood, but he did not expect that he had never given up, and even brought it up on an occasion like today, in front of the Jin Family's old master and his wife!

Saying it in front of the Jin Family was not just a simple matter of changing a surname; there were too many things involved in this.

If Shi Ran's surname were changed, then should Shi Youxuan's be changed as well?

Shi Youxuan was the granddaughter of the Jin Family, so changing her surname back would be a matter of course.

But what about Shi Yucheng?

What would he think?

Besides, there were many other things, and many of them would have a ripple effect.

Sheng Jiang did not consider these things at all; he could not see anything else in his eyes, only his own little plot of land.

Now that he had been rebuffed by his son, Sheng Jiang was thoroughly frightened and dared not say anything more.

But the Jin Family's old master and his wife put forward a suggestion.

The old master said to Sheng Jiang with a chuckle: "In-law, we have a suggestion for this visit, and we hope you can agree to it."

"Ranran is naturally intelligent and has a great talent for computer science and mathematics. We two old folks have discussed it and would like to take Ranran to our side to cultivate her properly."

"Of course, we will send her back to reunite with you every winter and summer vacation. Actually, we also have a bit of selfishness in wanting Ranran to go to A Country; besides wanting her to receive the best education, we also hope to have a child by our side to bring us joy."
