Chapter 606: The Unpleasantness Caused by a Large Shrimp

Sheng Jiang nearly fainted.

When Zhang Ma was young, she was a servant for the Sheng Family and never spoke out of turn.

Why so many words today?

But it is too late to scold her now; she has already said what should and should not have been said.

……

L Country, Zhu Family Castle.

Zhu Yiwen lost control of his emotions once again.

He smashed everything in the Study that could be smashed into smithereens.

Especially the computer; not only did he smash it, he also stood on it and stomped on it many times.

As if doing so could make all those entertainment news stories in the computer vanish into thin air.

Wang Bingbing is a piece of trash, completely unworthy of being entrusted with important tasks!

He had thought Wang Bingbing would not be a match for those two, but he had not expected a crushing defeat without even lasting a single round.

He had assumed Wang Bingbing could at least stir up trouble in Jiangzhou for a while; it didn't need to be long, as long as he could create a rift between Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan, he would have an opportunity to exploit.

Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes; the pawn that was Wang Bingbing is now useless and can no longer be used.

Zhu Yiwen calmed down and issued an order.

……

Wang Yinghao could hide in the kitchen for a while, but she could not hide forever.

She finally brought out a bowl of tomato and egg soup and placed it in the center of the dining table.

Shi Youxuan did not expose her, but Shi Ran said, "Grandma, Mom said you were making soup in the kitchen, a tomato and egg drop soup."

The little girl did not mean to embarrass her grandmother; she had just assumed it would be the delicious fish maw chicken soup, and was a bit disappointed that it was only egg soup.

"Eat your food. Grandma works very hard in the kitchen every day; if you aren't going to help, don't be picky." Shi Youxuan meant this sincerely, with no other intentions.

But to her father-in-law's ears, it sounded like she was pointing at the mulberry tree to curse the locust tree, a retaliation for what happened at noon.

Thus, he became even more uneasy and wanted even more to do something to make up for it.

"You've worked hard."

Shi Youxuan placed a peeled shrimp into her mother-in-law's bowl.

Sheng Zichen watched eagerly, anxious: "Me, me."

"Me what me? You wait."

Shi Youxuan wanted to help Erbao develop the habit that the first bite of anything delicious must go to his grandparents, parents, and sister, before it could ever be his turn.

But Erbao could never get used to it; he was always terribly anxious every time, afraid he would be forgotten.

After one round, the shrimp in the plate were already half gone.

It was usually like this, and everyone was used to it, but today Sheng Jiang felt guilty and broke the rule.

He peeled the largest shrimp himself and put it in his grandson's bowl.

It would have been fine if he were just currying favor with his grandson, but he also said to Sheng Zichen: "Give it to Mom, you give it to Mom to eat."

Shi Youxuan: ……

Sheng Zichen was too young; he could not see his grandfather's little ulterior motives, he only knew that the huge shrimp was already at his mouth, and to give it away was impossible.

So he pretended not to hear.

The little chubby hand used a spoon to scoop up the shrimp, "A-woo," sent it into his own mouth, and chewed it with great relish.

"Hey, why aren't you listening? Spit it out quickly."

Sheng Jiang was intent on currying favor with Shi Youxuan, and seeing his grandson eat it himself, he panicked and used his hand to dig into the child's mouth!

"Spit it out, hurry up and spit it out!"

"Wah—"

Erbao's mouth was hurt by his grandfather's digging, and he wailed loudly.

"What are you doing? Let him go."

Shi Youxuan stepped forward and quickly took the child into her arms; once the little fellow was in his mother's embrace, he cried even more aggrievedly, tears streaming down in pairs!

"Grandpa, bad, bad!"

"No, I wanted him to give it to you to eat, but he ate it himself..." Sheng Jiang said halfway, and could not continue.

The more he wanted to make amends, the more he ended up doing the wrong thing.

"Li Jie, take Zichen upstairs." Shi Youxuan had the servant take the child's food upstairs, and even sent Shi Ran away: "Ranran, you go back to your room to eat too; the adults have things to discuss."

"Mm."

Shi Ran left sensibly, and Sheng Jiang subconsciously wanted to leave too!

"Stop!"

Shi Youxuan said: "Is there any point in you hiding whenever you encounter an issue? You are a person of such advanced age, yet you haven't even learned to take responsibility for yourself, only knowing how to blame others for being overbearing, or saying others are wrong here and there."

"Since everyone is so unhappy being together, then let's live separately, each living our own lives, so you don't always think others are giving you grievances to suffer."

Splitting the family was something the two of them had discussed in the suburbs that afternoon, but she hadn't intended to express it with such a hard-line attitude.

Sheng Jiang's face flushed to the color of a pig's liver; he couldn't keep his old face straight.

Shi Youxuan continued: "If you like this house, we will move out; if you want a better environment, of course that is also possible."

Sheng Jiang's old face completely collapsed.

He began to cry.

He cried very sadly and aggrievedly, and Sheng Jiang sobbed to his son: "Hanyu, I only have you as a son, and now you want to drive me out too, to let me wander the streets?"

"Your wife has always wanted to drive us away; you don't know because you are at work, but when you aren't home, she gives us cold looks, and I live every day walking on eggshells..."

Shi Youxuan was stunned.

Has Wang Yingzhi possessed him?

In her father-in-law, she clearly saw the shadow of Wang Yingzhi.

His nonsense, the way he played the victim and acted pitiful, was exactly the same as Wang Yingzhi.

Not only was she surprised, but even Wang Yinghao was surprised.

"Enough, don't say any more."

Wang Yinghao lost her temper; they had been together for so long, and this was the first time she had lost her temper at her husband.

"Sheng Jiang, I didn't expect you to be like this... aren't you ashamed? Even if you aren't ashamed, I am." She turned and walked outside, not even planning to pack her luggage, intending to leave immediately.

Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu were both prepared to chase after her, but Sheng Jiang was one step faster than them.

He lunged forward in a stride, blocking his wife's path to stop her from leaving, and whispered something to her.

Sheng Jiang deliberately lowered his voice, so the two of them didn't hear what he said.

But Wang Yinghao was angry, and without trying to be discreet, she shouted directly: "Sheng Jiang, are you sick? Are you so willing to believe an outsider and scheme against your own family?"

"You do whatever Zhu Xingye tells you to do, even though you've only known each other for two months..."

Wang Yinghao had "betrayed" the Chairman.

Sheng Jiang was even more anxious than before; now he wasn't just blocking his wife, but pulling her to walk outside: "Let's go, let's go, if you want to leave then leave, don't bite people like a mad dog."

"You can say whatever you want about me, but I won't allow you to slander the Chairman behind his back. He is a good man, better than all of you. In this world, only the Chairman truly understands me, cares about me, and wants what's best for me. All of you are ungrateful wretches..."

Sheng Jiang looked exactly like someone who had been brainwashed.

The old couple's argument was seen in its entirety by the young couple.

It was indeed as expected; all the unreasonable things Sheng Jiang had done recently were related to that man surnamed Zhu.

Sheng Hanyu stepped forward: "Stop hiding it, it's useless, we heard everything."

"No, haha, no, Hanyu, don't listen to your mother's nonsense. She's just a woman with long hair and short insight, she doesn't understand the things we men want to do..." He wouldn't give up and still wanted to keep it hidden.

Sheng Hanyu played his trump card: "Many years ago, there was a document between us severing our father-son relationship. I presume you haven't forgotten, and your Chairman probably doesn't know about it either. I don't mind..."

"I mind!"

Sheng Jiang immediately objected.

After objecting, he slumped.

He began to cry stammeringly, begging his son not to be so heartless while he wept.
