Chapter 572: Changing Moli's Household Registration

The person closest to Jian Yixin?

Her mother, Lady Jian, believed that apart from herself, no second person could be considered the person closest to her daughter.

She had to be the first one to go in and wake her daughter up.

Sheng Zerong strongly objected.

He had never talked back to his mother-in-law before, but now Sheng Zerong and Lady Jian erupted into their first real argument—both believed they were the most important person to his wife (her daughter), and both insisted on being the first to go in and wake her.

Neither would give way to the other; from the initial argument, they gradually began to attack each other!

Lady Jian was as overbearing as ever toward her son-in-law, leaving no room for grace: "There isn't a single good person in your Sheng Family. If it weren't for the second brother, my daughter wouldn't have been harmed to this state. It's all your family's fault. How do you have the nerve to argue with me here for the first chance to speak to Yixin?"

Sheng Zerong: "He is him, and I am me. He has long since ceased to be a member of our Sheng Family; you had better get that straight."

"There is something I haven't told you, and I assume you don't know it yet? Yixin has long been annoyed by your nature of wanting to control everything and participate in everything. Do not think you are the center of the world and that the sun must revolve around you."

"Yixin usually avoids you as much as possible, preferring not to see you at all... If this were normal, I would yield to you, but not now. This is such an important moment concerning Yixin's safety; I absolutely, absolutely cannot let you act on your whims. Now is not the time for your willfulness."

These words were very harsh; she was used to her son-in-law always being gentle.

Now that he had suddenly turned hostile and said such ugly things, Lady Jian could not accept it at all, nor did she want to!

"Sheng Zerong, you... you!"

She clutched her chest, and her complexion suddenly turned very ugly.

The doctor immediately took out a quick-acting heart pill and stuffed it into Lady Jian's mouth, and everyone helped her to a chair to rest.

Jian Yining had originally felt that his brother-in-law was right and was prepared to agree, but now he didn't dare.

Sheng Zerong hurriedly apologized, and Lady Jian closed her eyes to rest for a while, her complexion gradually easing.

The old woman was getting on in years, and it was easy for problems to arise when she got anxious, so everyone had no choice but to let her be the first to go in and wake Jian Yixin.

Lady Jian went in with tear-filled eyes and came out with tear-filled eyes.

She had to come out; originally, her daughter was just not awake, but her heartbeat was still normal!

After she had spoken for ten minutes, the heartbeat gradually slowed down... If it slowed any further, she might never wake up, so the doctors hurriedly called a stop.

The second person to go in was Sheng Zerong; he knew better than his mother-in-law what his wife wanted to hear most.

He grabbed his wife's hand and said straight to the point: "Yixin, don't worry, Moli isn't dead. He fell onto the safety net on the eighth floor and is completely fine."

Sheng Zerong was not lying; Moli was indeed fine.

Sheng Yukai had kidnapped the two of them to the ninth floor; it was still dark when they went there.

Sheng Yukai didn't even know there was a safety net on the eighth floor!

He had tossed him casually, and it was a coincidence.

Moli happened to land right in the safety net.

The sunlight shone on the net, warm and cozy; the little one didn't wake up when he landed on the net, but instead slept even more sweetly.

Jian Yixin didn't know that; she only thought the child had fallen to his death.

Later, when Sheng Yukai fell to his death, the police rescued Moli from the safety net. Although the little one wasn't injured by the fall, he had caught a chill and was now crying and fussing incessantly with a fever.

Sheng Zerong was certain his wife hadn't woken up because of the child!

So the first thing he mentioned was Moli—but it didn't work.

The electrocardiogram showed that her heartbeat was slightly faster, but she remained in a coma.

Sheng Zerong then said again: "Sheng Yukai is dead, Yixin, don't worry. He can never threaten you and the child again. Please wake up, okay? Everyone is very worried about you, and I cannot live without you..."

Sheng Zerong confessed to his wife with deep emotion; he had previously been accustomed to keeping these words in his heart, expressing them through actions rather than verbal confessions!

But now he had said it all out loud, and Ma Ling'er, who was standing to the side, was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.

The person lying on the bed still showed no reaction.

A day passed.

Everyone took turns going in, and all the words they could think of that might touch Jian Yixin the most were said once or several times.

She still showed no signs of waking up.

Shi Yucheng heard the news and rushed to the hospital. When Lady Jian saw him, she started driving him away: "You leave! If it weren't for the good deed your daughter Shi Yuke did, my Yixin wouldn't have adopted that scumbag's son. Now my daughter has been harmed so miserably, it's all your daughter's fault, it's all your fault, you bringer of disaster..."

Shi Yucheng had come with good intentions to visit, but was scolded for no reason.

Even Jian Fu couldn't stand it anymore; he pulled his wife to the side and scolded: "That's enough! What does this have to do with Old Shi? Why are you biting everyone like a mad dog?"

"Who are you calling a mad dog? Fine! I gave birth to children for your family; if I haven't earned any credit, I've at least put in the effort. Now you find everything I do displeasing. Your whole family is turning against me; I don't want to live anymore..."

As she spoke, she bent over and slowly moved to bump her head against the wall!

Lady Jian didn't truly want to die; she just truly wanted her husband and son to stand on her side and listen to her.

Even though he knew his mother was putting on an act, he couldn't just watch her bump into it, so Jian Yining took the opportunity to pull her back.

Shi Yucheng was very embarrassed.

If it were any other occasion, he would have turned and left.

But this time he had come because he wanted to save Jian Yixin, so he couldn't leave.

"A Ning, come over here for a moment, I have something to tell you."

"Alright, Uncle, please come this way."

The two went to a quieter place, and Shi Yucheng took out a household register and handed it to him: "Go and change the registration. Transfer Moli's registration to your sister's household register. Let Moli take the surname Sheng. From now on, his father is Sheng Zerong, and his mother is Jian Yixin; there is no one else!"

"After you finish changing the registration, go and read it to your sister."

"Thank you, Uncle." Jian Yining was deeply moved and grasped Shi Yucheng's hand.

The household register was very important to Shi Yucheng; this was also something he had insisted on from the beginning. Now, in order to let Jian Yixin wake up, he had actually taken the initiative to request a change in the registration, even after just being scolded by his mother without rhyme or reason.

"Go quickly, don't give up as long as there is a glimmer of hope." Shi Yucheng's gaze was filled with determination.

Although he didn't know if this method would work, he would treat a dead horse as if it were a living one. He had actually decided on this matter on the road back from Jiangzhou, but it hadn't been done since they returned.

The reason it hadn't been done was that his second daughter, Shi Youxuan, had said to wait!

She said that Jian Yixin has very important matters to handle recently and has no time to deal with trivial things like changing a child's surname or household registration.

This is called a trivial thing?

Shi Yucheng feels that such matters are trivial to his daughter, but to Jian Yixin's family and to him, they are major events!

They are the most important matters.

But Shi Youxuan would not say what had happened, nor would she let him ask, yet she inexplicably sent him several bodyguards.

He is used to being free and unfettered, so he is very unaccustomed to having several strangers suddenly appear.

Shi Yucheng wanted to send the people back, but his daughter would not allow it under any circumstances.

It was not until his daughter called him and asked if he had changed his mind that he realized so much had happened over these past few days.

She said if he had not, he should bring the household registration book to the hospital, as it might be able to save Jian Yixin.
