Chapter 529: Planting Hidden Dangers 1

If she doesn't give him up.

On what grounds?

The child is Yuke's; she didn't say she was giving up her child when she left, she just left.

If she comes back now and insists on taking the child, Yixin will surely go crazy.

Even if she doesn't go crazy, she will do something insane.

Shi Youxuan's temples began to throb.

However, Yixin shook her head while crying, saying intermittently: "No, it's not that, it's not her, she didn't come back, it's my mother!"

Shi Youxuan:...

Lady Jian being "dramatic" wasn't a one-day occurrence.

In the past, when she was that "dramatic," Yixin never rushed over in such a panic to discuss how to deal with her mother.

No matter how good the relationship between two people is, there must be a distinction between inside and outside, right?

No matter what, one's own mother is still closer than others.

Just how dramatic must things have gotten for her to be in such a desperate hurry to find her.

The two sat on the sofa, and after Yixin had cried enough, she recounted the situation that Lady Jian and Yu Cheng had encountered here today!

After she finished speaking, she saw Shi Youxuan's eyes widen: "My god! You didn't tell your mother that Moli was born to Yuke?"

Yixin blamed her for being foolish: "Are you stupid? Do you think I dare say it? Let me tell you, I won't say it, and you can't say it either. You must keep it a secret from my mother, understand?"

Shi Youxuan said: "Don't worry, your mother won't come to ask me."

That was indeed the case.

Although Lady Jian had returned to the country, because of the child-stealing incident, she now looked at Shi Youxuan like a mouse seeing a cat.

She would avoid seeing her if she could, and certainly wouldn't take the initiative to approach her.

Yixin was still worried that someone might let it slip in front of her mother; if she found out about this, Moli and she would be separated.

Shi Youxuan asked her: "Besides the few of us, who else knows about Moli's background?"

Yixin counted on her fingers: "You, me, Hanyu, Ze Rong, Uncle... that's it."

No one else knew; she hadn't even told her younger brother and his wife.

So Shi Youxuan said: "Are you wanting me to go tell Dad not to tell your mother about Moli's background?"

Yixin nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

That was exactly what she thought, but she was too embarrassed to say it directly and wanted Shi Youxuan to put in a good word.

"Sure, no problem." Shi Youxuan agreed immediately.

This wasn't a difficult task, and it was appropriate for her to say it.

"Thank you, Xuanxuan, you are so kind. I really regret not being friends with you from the beginning, and I did so many things to wrong you..."

Overcome with emotion.

She even dug up old, trivial grievances from many years ago to repent for.

"Alright, alright, how much time has passed since then, it's endless." Shi Youxuan chided: "If you do this again, I'm leaving, okay?"

She didn't need thanks, nor did she need repentance, but some things still had to be said upfront.

Shi Youxuan said to her: "There is one thing you must consider beforehand. Asking Dad to keep it a secret isn't hard, but the hardest part is what you will do if Yuke comes back for the child?"

"It's fine, she won't come back." Yixin was very certain.

Shi Youxuan was alert: "How do you know she won't come back? Could it be..." She suspected Yixin had done something to Yuke.

The woman in front of her was capable of anything for the sake of the person she loved.

"No, no, oh my, what are you thinking?"

Yixin hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands, explaining: "Please, I hadn't even thought about adopting Moli before she left. I said she wouldn't come back because I know her better than you do."

"Why did she leave? It was because you exposed the fact that she was faking illness. Why did she fake illness? Because she was afraid you would take revenge on her..."

Shi Youxuan thought for a moment; it seemed that was indeed the case.

Yuke's mental illness had actually been cured long ago.

For so many years, she had been "lying dormant" in the mental hospital unwilling to come out, the biggest reason being the fear of revenge.

The events from back then had scared her out of her wits, and she never wanted to experience them a second time.

Now that Shi Youxuan had exposed her fake illness, she had run away in a hurry!

If Yuke could "lie dormant" in a mental hospital for so many years just to avoid revenge, how could she come back for a child?

She was a person who was selfish to the extreme; she only had herself in her heart.

It was indeed as Yixin said; Yuke was too busy hiding from these people to even think about coming back voluntarily.

And as long as she didn't come back, no one would look for her.

Perhaps in this lifetime, they would never meet again!

Shi Youxuan left Yixin's house and, instead of returning to her own, went straight to the nursing home to see her father.

Yu Cheng was sulking in his room, and seeing his second daughter arrive, he immediately said: "Xuanxuan, you've come at the right time. I was just about to go find you."

Shi Youxuan guessed that her father probably wanted to talk to her about Moli, so she took the initiative to bring up the topic: "Yixin asked me to come."

Her father was alert: "Did she ask you to come and tell me that I'm not allowed to see the child anymore?"

"No way, I have to go get Moli back."

He immediately started to walk outside but was stopped by Shi Youxuan: "It's not like that. Don't jump to conclusions; let me finish what I have to say, okay?"

Yu Cheng: "Not okay. If I go late, I'll never see my grandson again. That won't do."

Shi Youxuan:...

After her father had a cerebral infarction, although he recovered well, it was only on the surface.

His way of thinking and his attitude toward doing things are both different from before.

Many times, Shi Yucheng is just like a child, unable to keep his composure at all, and he is no longer as magnanimous as before, but petty instead.

"You are not allowed to go out, sit down."

Shi Youxuan blocked the doorway, her face sinking.

Seeing his daughter was angry, Shi Yucheng also knew he had been a bit too impatient, so he sat down: "You speak, I am listening."

Originally, she had intended to tell her father directly that if he missed Moli in the future, he should call Jian Yixin, and not run over there himself, as it would be bad if he ran into Lady Jian.

Also, if Lady Jian took the initiative to find him, he should not tell her about Moli's parentage.

But now it seemed that wouldn't work; if she said it directly, it would easily lead to a falling out!

Shi Youxuan said: "Dad, have you thought about it? If you get Moli back, who will take care of her?"

Shi Yucheng wanted to say "you take care of her," but the words reached his lips and he swallowed them a few times, still too embarrassed to say it.

For Xuanxuan to take care of Yuke's child—if Shi Youxuan said this herself, it would be her being magnanimous and not holding a grudge.

But if it came out of Shi Yucheng's mouth, it would be moral kidnapping!

In the end, he was too embarrassed to say it out loud, and instead said: "I will take care of her myself."

"You will take care of her yourself?"

Shi Youxuan gave a light scoff.

"I am going to say something you won't like to hear, please don't get angry; the fact that you can take care of yourself now, the doctors have already said is a medical miracle. Even if you get Moli back, how would you take care of her?"

"Of course, hiring a nanny is possible, but the news is always reporting on nannies stealing children or abusing children; are you at ease with that?"

Shi Yucheng did not make a sound; of course he was not at ease.

The things Xuanxuan mentioned were things he had seen plenty of on the news before; of course, there are more good nannies, but one should always prepare for the worst.

If he happened to run into one of those bad nannies, it would be terrible.

However, this was not even the worst part!
