Chapter 59: All Are Restless

The Eldest Young Master of the Sheng Family is faking blindness!

The footage of him saving the child last night was filmed and uploaded to the internet; at first, it only circulated in the residential complex's owners' group, but before dawn, it had spread everywhere.

Jiangzhou Daily published it on the front page as the headline, the entire page filled with the image of Sheng Hanyu heroically saving someone, his gaze piercing and spirited!

……

The Shi Family.

Jiang Yadan followed behind her husband, nagging: "Yu Cheng, just go and talk to the Eldest Young Master of the Sheng Family. If you don't go now, it will be too late."

Shi Yucheng did not give his wife a pleasant look: "You know to regret it now? It's too late."

"I am telling you not to harbor any improper thoughts. Sheng Hanyu is Xuanxuan's husband, and Xuanxuan is the Eldest Young Mistress of the Sheng Family. This is what you agreed to back then. Now you want to go back on your word? No way."

Jiang Yadan felt her husband was a blockhead; why couldn't he be flexible?

But she could not force him; Shi Yucheng responded to soft tactics, not hard ones.

"Yu Cheng, I don't want to go back on my word, but our Xuanxuan is missing now, isn't she? Everyone in the city knows Sheng Hanyu isn't blind, but many people don't know he is married!"

"He's a diamond bachelor, you know. Think about how many people will be trampling the threshold of the Sheng Family? Never mind that Xuanxuan hasn't been found yet; even if she were found, she wouldn't be able to hold onto the position of Eldest Young Mistress firmly. Instead of letting someone else benefit, it's better to let our own people benefit. When they were on the blind date, the Sheng Family Old Master was the one who brought up our Yuke..."

Jiang Yadan had a good plan; knowing Sheng Hanyu wasn't blind, she wanted to marry Shi Yuke off to him.

Shi Yuke did not come out; she was hiding in her room crying.

She regretted not agreeing to marry him back then, letting a fool marry in her place.

She also regretted acting too rashly when she found out Sheng Hanyu wasn't blind. Now it was a mess; everyone knew, her rivals had increased, and Sheng Hanyu didn't have a single good impression of her.

That day at the hotel, the bodyguard had removed her mask and recognized who she was.

The only reason he still let her crawl on the road wearing the mask was to give Shi Yucheng face, not wanting to make him too embarrassed.

But her mother did not know about this. She was still happily dreaming of letting her eldest daughter marry into the family. Shi Yuke knew it was impossible but dared not tell her mother.

Or perhaps, deep down, she still hoped to marry Sheng Hanyu, holding onto a glimmer of hope that her mother could turn decay into magic!

Jiang Yadan pestered her husband all day, but everything she could think of saying was useless.

Shi Yucheng was very firm this time, saying he would not go to find Sheng Hanyu no matter what.

He said he didn't have such a thick skin. Not only would he not go, but he also forbade his wife from going to find Sheng Hanyu, saying that going would just be asking for humiliation.

Jiang Yadan agreed. She didn't go to find Sheng Hanyu, but she went to the Sheng Family Mansion to visit Wang Yingzhi.

Wang Yingzhi had been in high spirits since the morning. Upon learning that Sheng Hanyu was faking blindness, even Bai Xue's attitude toward her had improved quite a bit. Near noon, she even said she was feeling unwell and wanted to hand over the authority of the housekeeper to her.

From the day she married into the Sheng Family, Wang Yingzhi had been dreaming of being the housekeeper, but she had been dreaming this dream for over thirty years.

When her mother-in-law was alive, she couldn't get a hand in, and after her mother-in-law passed, her sister-in-law took charge; she still couldn't get a hand in!

Back when her son was the General Manager, she had told him she wanted to be in charge and hold her head high.

But Sheng Hanyu said she wasn't the material for managing the household, telling her to play mahjong and stay relaxed, as it was good not to manage things.

She suspected these words were instigated by his then-fiancée, Jian Yixin. If it weren't for her instigation, her son was her own, so why wouldn't he make decisions for her?

From that time on, she found Jian Yixin an eyesore.

Bai Xue dared to bully her for over twenty years, wasn't it because her maiden family was powerful? But the Jian Family was even more powerful. If Jian Yixin entered the door, would she ever have a day to get ahead?

It was precisely because she feared this that when Sheng Yukai asked her to "help," she really did help.

Jian Yixin was almost forced by Sheng Yukai, and it was she who helped hold her down from the side.

If Sheng Hanyu hadn't returned in time, Jian Yixin's chastity would definitely not have been preserved.

From that day on, the relationship between mother and son dropped to freezing point. Immediately after, a few days later, the villa caught fire, and Jian Yixin burned to death... From then on, her son never called her "Mom" again.

Without her son to back her up, Bai Xue bullied her even more unscrupulously. She had been timid and submissive for five years, but today, things suddenly took a turn for the better. Her son was actually faking blindness; her good days were about to come.

Sure enough, first Bai Xue handed over the housekeeper's authority to her, and the couple hid away at her maiden home.

Then, a servant came in to report: "Eldest Madam, the mother of the in-laws is here. Will you see her?"

Wang Yingzhi didn't react for a moment: "Which in-law's mother?"

She was just planning to pick a submissive and sensible girl for her son as a candidate for a daughter-in-law, so as to repair their terrible mother-son relationship, and someone had already taken the initiative to come to the door calling themselves in-laws. This was too impatient.

The servant said: "It's the mother of the Eldest Young Mistress who went missing. She is requesting to see you."

She suddenly realized after hearing this. Right, the position of Eldest Young Mistress was still occupied by the fool!

The fool was lost, and now her mother had come to the door.

Wang Yingzhi turned and ran upstairs: "Stop her, definitely stop her and don't let her in. Just say I'm not home."

The servant shouted behind her: "She also brought a lot of gifts and said she wanted to give them to you. It doesn't look like she's here to cause trouble..."

Wang Yingzhi stopped and hesitated: "She brought gifts?"

No one had ever given her gifts. Even the farmers who supplied the Sheng Family with organic vegetables and fruits gave gifts to Bai Xue during holidays; there was never a share for her.

She didn't lack food, clothing, or money; what she lacked was the respect of being given gifts and the gaze of being looked up to by others!

The servant felt disdain in her heart, but her expression was respectful: "Yes, she brought many gifts. Are you going to see her or not?"

"Let me think."

Wang Yingzhi sat on the stairs and began to think: I drove the fool away, Hanyu was angry with me at the time, the fool's mother didn't make a move, but now everyone in Jiangzhou knows Hanyu was faking blindness, and the fool's mother is at the door... Her family still has another daughter...

Wang Yingzhi, who had always been muddled, finally thought clearly for once.

"Did she come by herself or did she bring people?"

The servant said: "She drove here herself, not even a driver."

Wang Yingzhi was still uneasy and instructed the servant: "Fine, let her come to the living room to see me. You take a few people to guard by my side and protect me."

"Yes."

Jiang Yadan was brought in. Wang Yingzhi sat upright on the sofa, putting on airs: "The in-law's mother is here? Please sit."

"Yu Ma, serve tea to the guest."

This was how Bai Xue usually received guests, and she imitated her, feeling quite good about herself.

But Jiang Yadan's subsequent attitude made her feel even better.

"In-law, I have long wanted to come and see you, but I was worried you were too busy..." Jiang Yadan said with a face full of smiles, placing the gifts she was carrying onto the coffee table: "These are just small tokens, please don't laugh at how shabby they are!"

Hermes bags, Cartier watches, Chanel perfume, a full set of Bulgari diamond jewelry; Wang Yingzhi could estimate that these gifts were worth at least several million with just a rough glance.

They were not shabby at all; it was truly a Hallucinogenic Pen.

Seeing such expensive gifts upon their first meeting, Wang Yingzhi let down her last shred of guard and immediately became enthusiastic.

"Oh my, in-law, you are too polite. You've sent such expensive gifts, I don't know what I should give in return..."

"Yu Ma, go get the best ham, Mexican sea cucumber, Australian lobster, and North American truffles to pack into our in-law's car. Right, and also the Mediterranean Caviar and French foie gras."

The servant agreed and went to the kitchen to fetch the "return gifts," the corners of her mouth twitching uncontrollably.

Although these ingredients were also quite expensive, they were not in the same league compared to the gifts the guest had brought; what mattered was that she didn't have to spend a single cent of her own money, as they were all from the public funds, while the gifts, without a doubt, would all go into the Eldest Madam's private pocket.

The way she acted was too unsightly.
