Chapter 629: Qi Heng is fostered in the Sheng Family

Although Wang Yinghao felt that her grandson was in the wrong, but... how old was he?

So she scolded her granddaughter: "It's enough that your brother didn't tell you; why did you have to dirty his new clothes? He is still young, it's normal for him to be ignorant."

"Right, Grandma is right." Qi Heng pulled Shi Ran, who was about to retort, and smiled at her: "Thank you for standing up for me, but this matter is your fault. We are big children, Zichen is still a small child, and loving the younger brother is the responsibility of big children."

"If we have to reason about everything, wouldn't it be too cold?"

Shi Ran didn't make a sound.

Instead, she went to her younger brother, wiped the tears off his chubby little face, and said to him: "Shall Sister take you upstairs to change your clothes? Change into something prettier."

The little guy was still sobbing, but he already reached out his little hand: "Okay."

The siblings went upstairs to change clothes.

Qi Heng apologized to Wang Yinghao again: "I'm sorry, Grandma. I didn't stop Shi Ran from smearing yogurt on Zichen just now; it's my fault."

"Good child, you are not wrong. You did very well, good child." Wang Yinghao liked Qi Heng very much.

Through this incident, she liked this child even more.

Living under someone else's roof, he was not inferior, was poised and generous, and handled relationships among family members with proper measure.

Not to mention a child of this age, even many adults could not guarantee they would handle it well!

After Shi Youxuan returned, Wang Yinghao spoke highly of Qi Heng in front of her daughter-in-law.

She urged her daughter-in-law to make sure to keep an eye on this child; when he grows up, he should be the Sheng Family's son-in-law, and it definitely wouldn't be a mistake.

Shi Youxuan laughed: "Mom, you and I thought of the same thing."

At night, the couple lay in bed chatting, and Shi Youxuan told this incident to her husband.

Sheng Hanyu frowned and refused: "No."

Shi Youxuan:...

"Why not? You don't like Qi Heng? That child is so good, sensible, generous, smart, studious, kind, and loyal..." Mentioning Qi Heng's merits, Shi Youxuan could list dozens of them endlessly.

"No means no. Are you stupid?"

He argued with justification: "Qi Heng is from L Country and is the only son of the Vice President. Although he lives in our house now, he will return sooner or later."

"If Ranran marries him, she will have to marry so far away. Will we have to travel thousands of miles to see our daughter?"

Shi Youxuan thought for a moment and felt it made sense.

But she was still unwilling: "But Qi Heng is such a good boy, it would be a real pity if we missed out. How about this? Let's recruit him as a live-in son-in-law."

"Pfft!"

Sheng Hanyu laughed quite arrogantly, not hiding his contempt for his wife at all: "In your dreams! If Qi Xiansheng were still in exile in Jiangzhou, maybe your idea could come true, but now, don't even think about it."

"Sigh!"

She sighed heavily.

Suddenly, she seemed to understand her grandmother's thoughts back then.

Back then, her grandmother must have broken up the couple and insisted on dismantling her parents' marriage; that was the reason she gave.

Her mother's Clan had a tradition: the first girl in the Clan was not allowed to marry out and had to recruit a live-in son-in-law to revitalize the Clan.

In the Clan, women were also in charge, and men had no say!

And unfortunately, Shi Youxuan's mother was the eldest daughter of the Clan. A son of the Jin Family going to be a live-in son-in-law?

That was absolutely impossible.

So Jin Laofuren did not agree and insisted on breaking them up. As a result, not only did she not break them up, but she drove them to Jiangzhou.

The wife was suddenly silent.

Sheng Hanyu sat up and asked: "What's wrong with you? The two children are only so young, no need to think that far ahead, right?"

"No, I was thinking about what kind of person my mother was. I haven't even seen what she looked like," Shi Youxuan said.

Her adoptive father, Shi Yucheng, said that she and her mother looked very much alike, and their personalities were similar too.

But unfortunately, no photos were left behind, and she could only guess what her mother looked like.

Sheng Hanyu asked: "Do you want to investigate your mother-in-law's Clan?" There are not many with such strange customs; as long as one investigates, it shouldn't be difficult.

"Forget it, I don't want to make Grandmother sad. Let's talk about this later."

"Later" referred to after the elderly couple of the Jin Family had passed away.

Sheng Jiang had been a Security Guard for a month.

He didn't feel any psychological gap; on the contrary, he lived quite a fulfilling life every day!

He went to work very early in the morning and came back very late at night; sometimes he even had to work the night shift.

He brought a lunch box to work, filled with the food his wife prepared for him.

This was to save the ten yuan for buying a boxed lunch, so he could pay back ten yuan more. Ten yuan a day, that was three hundred yuan a month.

He even took the initiative to request the night shift, as the night shift paid a little more than the day shift.

Shi Youxuan couldn't bear it and secretly discussed it with her husband: "Alright, Husband, that's enough. He is your father; what is the point of you always testing him like this?"

"Not yet, let me test him one last time."

Sheng Jiang was at work that day.

A wealthy lady, dressed exquisitely and dripping with jewelry, was carrying a bag and holding a dog, barging in as if no one else was there!

Although the lady was full of aura, she looked like a stranger and didn't seem like someone from this residential compound.

Sheng Jiang chased after her and asked very politely: "Hello, Madam, may I ask if you live here or are you here to visit friends or relatives?"

The wealthy lady squinted at him, looked him up and down, and said disdainfully: "Stinky Security Guard, stay away from me. If you scare my dog, you couldn't afford to pay for it even if you sold yourself."

"Hey, how are you talking? Keep your mouth clean." Xiao Li was young and had a quick temper; hearing the woman speak so rudely, he immediately blew up.

Sheng Jiang was scolded but didn't get agitated; he even persuaded Xiao Li: "Alright, you go back, I'll handle this here."

"Ma'am, please show your resident permit," he said, neither servile nor overbearing.

The woman rolled her eyes and said crossly, "I don't have one."

"Then please provide the name of the resident you wish to visit. I must verify it and obtain the resident's consent before I can let you in. This is the residential complex's regulation; please understand."

"I don't understand!"

The woman's voice suddenly rose several degrees, and she shrieked, "Stop using a feather as an arrow here! Don't think I don't know who you are, you big swindler! You swindled so much money and are still acting like a good person here? Sheng Jiang, do you have any shame?"

He understood immediately.

The woman in front of him wasn't trying to enter the complex at all; she was just here to pick a fight.

"I am not a swindler. I have been working very hard to earn money and pay everyone back."

"Pah!"

The woman spat, and the saliva nearly landed on his face.

"You earn money? Relying on what? Relying on the peanuts you make as a Security Guard here, how long will it take to pay it back? Your son has such a large conglomerate and plenty of money; if you just asked him for some, you could pay everyone back."

"That won't do. A person must have a bottom line. One must pay for the mistakes one has made. I will not ask my son for money, but please rest assured, I will definitely pay back all the money I owe you."

The commotion here attracted quite a few onlookers.

Among them were also victims of "Chicken Lays Eggs".

Seeing this, they joined in shouting: "Exactly! Your son is so rich, you just need to go ask for some to pay us back. Paying back a little bit every month like this isn't even enough for a meal; when will our money ever be fully returned?"

Xiao Li couldn't listen anymore from the security booth and came out again to stand up for Sheng Jiang: "That's enough from all of you! When the major conglomerates held their press conferences back then, you all knew about it. Who can you blame for still buying? It's all because you were greedy."
