Chapter 596: Fake Pretenses, Evil Reaps Evil Rewards

~8 min read 1,470 words

Hanging up the phone, she returned to the Hospital Ward.

Meiqi had already eaten and fallen asleep.

Shi Youxuan set her phone to silent, placed it on the coffee table, and waited.

Jian Yixin did not keep her waiting too long; only ten minutes later, the phone screen lit up—a call was coming in.

Shi Youxuan went to the corridor to answer, and Jian Yixin's voice came from the other end, filled with indignation: "Xuanxuan, they faked it!"

"The audacity is just too great. To think such a thing could happen at the Jian Family Hospital, the audacity is just too great..."

Shi Youxuan understood everything now; it turned out Sun Zihan had no fracture at all, and the test results in the medical records were all fake.

No wonder Madam Sun wouldn't let her or the school people visit the child; it was because she was afraid of being exposed!

The results were fake, and the intentions were malicious.

Shi Youxuan had originally felt that expelling the child might have been a bit excessive, but now she saw it wasn't excessive at all; the handling was actually lenient.

She took photos of the medical records and the photos of Sun Zihan jumping around, then sent them directly to the media.

This incident stirred up a thousand waves and became a hot topic of discussion in Jiangzhou over the past two days.

Sun Qing's reputation was completely ruined, and now no one would seek him out for business.

Not only were there no new business deals, but his previous business was also affected.

In an instant, Sun Qing went from being a new upstart in Jiangzhou to someone like a street rat; even if people weren't shouting to beat him, everyone who saw him would dodge away.

Offending a financial tycoon in Jiangzhou was one thing, but now he was also resorting to fraud?

No one wanted to do business with someone who had no credibility.

In this society, there is never a shortage of people who kick others when they are down.

Sun Qing's business couldn't continue, Liu Meimei had been sent to the detention center for intentional injury, and Director Liu was already having a hard time at his unit because he was implicated by his daughter and son-in-law.

At this time, his superiors received one after another real-name reports, and under pressure, Director Liu retired early!

In all of this, Sheng Hanyu's "contribution" could not be ignored.

Daring to trip up his wife—did they think he was air?

However, he wouldn't make his methods look too ugly; in fact, he didn't even need to do it himself. As long as he gave the order, there would naturally be people to handle it clearly and thoroughly.

After applying medicine for two days, Lady Qi was completely healed.

Liu Meimei had intentionally injured someone, but since it didn't cause major consequences and her attitude toward admitting her mistake was relatively good, she was released from the detention cell after paying a fine and being detained for fifteen days.

She had only stayed inside for half a month, but the world outside was vastly different.

She no longer had the capital to throw her weight around in Jiangzhou, and now Liu Meimei finally believed what her father and husband had said—do not make an enemy of Shi Youxuan.

Although she understood, it was too late.

On a pitch-black night, the Sun Family moved away overnight.

Jiangzhou was so big, and there was never a shortage of shrewd people; very quickly, Sun Qing's position was replaced by others.

It didn't take long for this family to be forgotten by the people of Jiangzhou.

Wang Yinghao and Sheng Jiang returned from their global luxury tour.

"This is yours."

"This is yours."

"Zichen, don't grab; you have the most gifts. This one, this one, and those—they are all yours."

Sheng Jiang distributed gifts to the whole family, while Wang Yinghao sat to the side with a smile.

"Dad has changed; he's much more spirited and looks younger." Shi Youxuan wasn't buttering him up; it was truly the case.

Although this trip only lasted a short month, Sheng Jiang seemed to have become a different person.

He was no longer timid and had become much more sunny and confident.

Not to mention Shi Youxuan, even Sheng Hanyu had never seen such a father!

But the whole family was quite happy with this change; it was quite good, as the family was originally harmonious, and only Sheng Jiang, that honest man, would often cause unexpected trouble.

They say personality determines how one does things.

Now that his personality had become cheerful and confident, he would probably make fewer laughable mistakes, right?

Everyone's thoughts were quickly confirmed; it really was like that.

Sheng Jiang's relationship with his family became increasingly harmonious, and after his personality became cheerful, he also became less petty.

Although he didn't fuss over small things anymore, it wasn't quite normal.

What his father-in-law used to like doing most was playing chess at the residential complex's leisure center or in the park.

That wasn't the case anymore; now he held his phone all day long, his fingers nimbly tapping out text on it, even while eating.

He would also often clench his hand into a fist, his eyes glowing, muttering something to himself that couldn't be heard clearly.

However, one could occasionally hear a few words like "success," "certain victory," and "believe in yourself."

They were all positive words, but Shi Youxuan didn't know why her father-in-law had to be so secretive.

Behind closed doors, Shi Youxuan told her husband about this: "Hanyu, have you noticed that Dad has been a bit different lately?"

Sheng Hanyu: "I noticed it a while ago. He's not acting right, and he won't say anything when I ask. You should ask Mom during the day to see if they came into contact with anyone while they were out. Dad has never seen much of the world in his life; don't let him be taken advantage of."

"Okay."

Shi Youxuan agreed, but before she could ask, at breakfast the next day, Sheng Jiang suddenly asked his son: "Hanyu, do you have any vacant office buildings? I want to open a company."

"What kind of company do you want to open?"

It was a very normal question, but Sheng Jiang suddenly became very impatient: "Don't worry, you are my son; I won't compete with you, and I won't touch any of the businesses your company is involved in."

"Cough, cough..."

Shi Youxuan choked on her milk.

Did he think he could compete with Dingsheng just by opening a random company?

If it were that easy, Dingsheng would have been replaced long ago.

"What are you coughing for? Are you laughing at me too?"

Her father-in-law had become sensitive today, and his guess was spot on.

Shi Youxuan hurriedly explained: "No, no, Dad, I just choked on my milk. Please don't be so sensitive..."

Laughing in her heart and not believing it was one thing, but being seen through by her father-in-law was another.

Sheng Jiang was her father-in-law and an elder; she still had to give him face.

Shi Youxuan smiled and changed the subject: "Dad, I have vacant office buildings. I'm not sure if Hanyu has any, but I do. What kind do you want, and what scale?"

Hearing his daughter-in-law say this, Sheng Jiang's expression softened quite a bit.

But he still felt embarrassed to use his daughter-in-law's property; it would be more justified to use his son's.

So he looked at his son, just in time to meet his son's hawk-like eyes.

"Hanyu, don't worry, I won't use it for free; I'll pay rent," Sheng Jiang said.

Sheng Hanyu:...

Shi Youxuan:...

"I am asking you what kind of company you want to open. Could you please answer my question directly?" Sheng Hanyu was already slightly angry.

If this were anyone else, he would have left without a word long ago.

But Sheng Jiang was his father, so there was no helping it.

Sheng Jiang finally realized he had indeed been too sensitive just now and hurriedly said: "Oh, oh, a financial company."

Sheng Hanyu:...

A financial company?

Isn't that too vague?

However, he didn't want to continue wasting time, so he stood up and threw out a sentence: "Are you coming with me now to look at the venues, or will you find another time?"

"Let's go now, I'll go with you right now." Seeing his son agree, Sheng Jiang stood up happily and followed him out.

Shi Ran also went to school.

With only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at home with the child, Shi Youxuan took advantage of this good opportunity to ask her mother-in-law if her father-in-law had met anyone outside.
