Chapter 541: Sheng Yukai Has Escaped from Prison

At Jian Yixin's home.

Moli was fast asleep in the room, while several adults sat in the living room, waiting for news from Lao Qi.

Sheng Hanyu's phone was placed on the coffee table; everyone's eyes were fixed on the phone, and no one spoke.

"Beep-ring—"

The ringtone finally sounded, but it was Sheng Jiang calling to ask why they hadn't come home for dinner yet.

"Xuanxuan and I are at Ze Rong's place; you all go ahead and eat, don't worry about us, and don't call again." He hung up the phone after saying this.

His father really chose a bad time to call, but if his father had no other skills, he certainly had this one: always managing to interrupt at the most inappropriate times.

Wang Yinghao slapped her forehead: "Oh dear, it's my fault, my fault. Hanyu said he and Xuanxuan had something very important to do and asked us not to disturb him; I forgot to tell you."

"What could be more important than eating?" Sheng Jiang was a bit indignant.

He had received a bit too much respect lately, so he had grown accustomed to it.

He naturally assumed that his son should be respectful when speaking to his father; had Hanyu been impatient just now?

This left Sheng Jiang very dissatisfied.

"Don't meddle in the children's affairs; you can't handle them well anyway, don't wear out the father-son bond that was so hard to build..."

His wife guided him patiently, and the bit of resentment in Sheng Jiang's heart quickly vanished into thin air.

Originally, he was just grumbling in front of his wife; he wouldn't be able to say a word in front of that young couple.

"Beep-ring—"

The phone on the coffee table lit up again; this time it was Lao Qi calling.

Sheng Hanyu pressed the speakerphone, and Lao Qi said on the line: "Eldest Young Master, that person is indeed not in the Prison; he hasn't been there for a year."

Hanging up the phone, the few of them looked at each other in dismay.

Sheng Yukai was not in the Prison; he had escaped a year ago.

They hadn't even realized it for such a long time!

Shi Youxuan said: "Should I take Moli back?"

She wasn't sure if Jian Yixin would still be willing to raise the child after knowing that Shi Moli was Sheng Yukai's son.

Jian Yixin was silent, saying neither "yes" nor "no."

She was very hesitant; emotionally, she didn't want to keep Shi Moli.

She could raise Shi Yuke's child, but Shi Yuke and Sheng Yukai's child... she didn't want to!

Her hatred for Sheng Yukai was deep in her marrow.

Raising his child was truly something she didn't want to do.

But just thinking about sending Moli away, she couldn't bear it.

After all, she had raised him for several months and had raised him as her own; Jian Yixin had poured all her affection into this child.

Even when she thought Moli was the child of her husband and Shi Yuke, she had been prepared to keep him!

Even if he were her husband's illegitimate child, Jian Yixin felt it wouldn't have been this hard to accept.

The others didn't urge her, waiting for her to make up her mind.

In the end, Jian Yixin decided—"Xuanxuan, you take Moli away; I really can't accept that he is that person's child."

The two of them took Moli home, only to be met with opposition from Sheng Jiang!

Because the couple hadn't hidden the child's background, they told their parents that Shi Moli was the son of Shi Yuke and Sheng Yukai when they arrived home.

Wang Yinghao was a kind person, and she also respected the decisions of her son and daughter-in-law.

It was just one more room and hiring one more nanny to take care of him.

Not to mention that the family had the means, even if they didn't, she couldn't bear to see such a small child have nowhere to go!

So she agreed, and immediately prepared to go upstairs to tidy up the children's room.

The things the child used and the clothes he wore were all ready.

What Zichen had used would be perfect for Moli; there was no need to go out and buy anything special!

But Sheng Jiang strongly opposed it.

He stood at the foot of the stairs, arms outstretched, blocking his wife: "No, you cannot let this brat enter the door of my Sheng Family. Have you forgotten all the inhuman things his father and grandfather did?"

"You never learn from your mistakes, and now you want to raise a wolf cub? Be careful that he bites you hard when he grows up."

Shi Youxuan said to her father-in-law: "That won't happen. A child is like a blank sheet of paper; they become whatever adults instill in them. If we educate him well, he won't be like his parents."

Sheng Yukai and Shi Yuke were both raised under their mothers' doting.

Because Bai Xue looked down on Sheng Jiang and his wife, she wanted her son to surpass Sheng Hanyu in everything.

So from a young age, she taught Sheng Yukai to be competitive and to stop at nothing to achieve his goals!

Jiang Yadan only had one daughter, Shi Yuke, and she held her in the palm of her hand from childhood, giving her the moon if she asked for the stars, raising her to be arrogant and hypocritical.

Shi Youxuan believed that under her own guidance, Moli would absolutely not become like his parents.

Sheng Hanyu chose to stand by his wife's side and support her!

Unable to persuade his daughter-in-law, Sheng Jiang tried to break through from his son's side, mentioning the old man: "Hanyu, don't forget, your grandfather was killed by Sheng Yukai back then. Now you want to raise his son, which is the same as raising the son of an enemy."

Sheng Hanyu's face darkened, and he said coldly: "That's right, you knew it at the time but pretended not to. Shall we settle this account?"

Sheng Jiang:...

He didn't say a word, turned around, and fled back to his room as if escaping, not daring to come out for the whole day.

With no one left to stop them, Moli moved in smoothly.

"Mom, can I see the new little brother?" Shi Ran asked, crowding over curiously.

Shi Youxuan smiled and said, "Of course you can. His name is Shi Moli; you can just call him Third Brother from now on."

There are three children in the family now, so they must be ranked, otherwise it will be hard to address them when they grow up.

Wang Yingzhi corrected her: "That's not right, he should be called Second Brother. Boys should be ranked with boys, and girls with girls."

"That's too complicated. There are only three children in total, so let's just rank them by age," said Shi Youxuan.

Her mother-in-law held onto her own opinion: "I still think they should be ranked separately. The rules passed down by our ancestors are like this; your method of ranking will only cause confusion..."

Sheng Hanyu spoke up from the side: "Just call him whatever. It doesn't matter how they are ranked; this child won't be staying in our house for more than two days anyway."

Shi Youxuan:...

"What do you mean?"

Sheng Hanyu had an expression that could only be understood but not explained: "If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. Yixin will definitely come to pick up the child in no more than three days. Do you want to bet?"

She felt that wouldn't happen.

So she agreed: "Alright, let's make a bet. If you lose, you have to bark like a puppy."

Sheng Hanyu:...

What kind of wager was that?

However, he still readily agreed: "Fine, what if you lose?"

Shi Youxuan looked smug: "If I lose, you won't have to bark like a puppy."

Sheng Hanyu:...

It seemed like no matter what, she wouldn't be at a disadvantage?

"No, if I lose, you must listen to me for the next month, regardless of whether it's a big or small matter. Do you agree?"

She considered it for a moment and agreed.

Because she felt she wouldn't lose.

Jian Yixin hated Sheng Yukai to the marrow of her bones; how could she possibly take his son back? It was absolutely impossible.

At Jian Yixin's home.

Sheng Zerong brought a bowl of wontons out from the kitchen and called toward the children's room: "Wife, come out and eat wontons. Chicken and mushroom filling, your favorite."

"I don't want to eat, I have no appetite."

She had been sitting in the children's room for a whole night and an entire morning.

She hadn't closed her eyes all night yesterday; whenever she closed her eyes, Moli's chubby little face appeared before her.
