Chapter 699: A Glutton's Logic

"I don't know her."

Shi Youxuan denied it: "I don't know her." After saying this, she strode outside.

The parking lot.

It had taken Wang Yinghao a great deal of effort to comfort her grandson so he would stop crying, and just then, Shi Youxuan brought the old woman over.

Sheng Zichen immediately blocked his grandmother, protecting her: "Bad person, you bullied me, you are not allowed to bully my grandmother."

The old woman followed what Shi Youxuan had taught her and apologized to each member of the family one by one.

She first bowed to Wang Yinghao, her attitude sincere: "I'm sorry, old madam. Just now, I was blinded by greed. Seeing that you were wealthy people, I wanted to take the opportunity to extort some money to spend. I'm sorry, it was all my fault."

Wang Yinghao was very kind.

And very soft-hearted.

She had been furious just a moment ago, but now, upon being apologized to, she immediately softened.

"It's alright, everyone has moments of confusion. Besides, this matter was my grandson's fault to begin with..." She thought the old woman had discovered her conscience.

After apologizing, the old woman looked at Shi Youxuan.

Seeing her nod, she hurriedly took her daughter-in-law and granddaughter away.

They walked very fast, as if afraid that if they left too late, Shi Youxuan would catch up to them.

The family got into the car to go home.

This incident left a deep childhood trauma on Sheng Zichen.

From then on, he never snatched food from anyone again!

After arriving home.

Fang Jie had already prepared the meal.

The table was full, very sumptuous, only it had all gone cold.

The food had all been prepared according to the tastes Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu liked. Although they hadn't notified the family to pick them up at the airport, the family had been calculating the time of their return.

It was just that they hadn't expected such a thing to happen at the airport.

Besides picking them up, there was this table of sumptuous food; the ingredients were all bought by Wang Yinghao herself in the countryside, the freshest vegetables and free-range chickens, ducks, and geese raised by the farmers themselves.

Wang Yinghao blamed herself: "It's all my fault for not watching Zichen well. If it weren't for what happened at the airport, the timing for the meal would have been perfect, but now it's all cold."

Sheng Jiang joked with his wife: "You are to blame. You always say eating free-range eggs is good and makes one smart, but the more you eat, the dumber you get."

"Go to hell," Wang Yinghao chided playfully.

Shi Youxuan said: "It doesn't matter if it's cold, just heat it up. I'll go help."

She wasn't needed to help; Shi Youxuan was "chased" upstairs to wash up.

The kitchen at home was Shi Youxuan's forbidden zone; it was better if she didn't help, as she only made more work!

The couple returned to their room to wash up and change clothes.

Shi Youxuan asked her husband: "Did you recognize who that fat woman was?"

"Which fat woman?"

Her husband was completely confused.

"The one who is the little girl's mother, the old woman's daughter-in-law."

Sheng Hanyu: "I don't know her."

In fact, he hadn't even taken a look, so of course he didn't know her.

Shi Youxuan reminded him: "Do you remember the dance party years ago when A Ning returned from the United States?"

"I remember."

Of course he remembered; after that dance party, he and Shi Youxuan had their first intimate contact...

Seeing her husband's gaze begin to turn suggestive, Shi Youxuan immediately said: "Mom, Dad, and the children are waiting for us downstairs to eat. You need to restrain yourself."

If this man didn't restrain himself, she feared they wouldn't be able to leave the room until dark!

"Alright."

He restrained himself.

"At that dance party, do you remember a chubby, round girl? She liked you so much..."

Sheng Hanyu frowned, thinking carefully for a while, but couldn't recall.

He couldn't be blamed for not remembering.

There were many girls who liked him; it was impossible to remember them all.

Shi Youxuan simply stopped reminding him and said directly: "Her name is Jiang Siwei. She is Yuke's cousin and has been Yuke's follower since she was a child. Whatever Yuke liked, she liked, and she was determined to marry a rich man."

Sheng Hanyu: "Hmm, but what does that have to do with me?"

Shi Youxuan:...

Forget it, this conversation couldn't continue; they weren't on the same wavelength at all.

Shi Youxuan sighed with emotion.

The ideals of those years were too different from reality.

Back then, she had disliked Jiang Siwei because Jiang Siwei always wanted to bully her.

But after so many years had passed, seeing that she wasn't doing well, Shi Youxuan didn't feel happy, but she couldn't say she felt sad either.

Her heart was filled with mixed feelings; she couldn't describe the sensation.

Sheng Hanyu remembered: "I have a slight impression. She bullied you; her current state is deserved, and it could be even more miserable."

Shi Youxuan:...

Fine, being married to a steel-straight man, some things really couldn't be communicated.

What she had originally wanted to say, but didn't, was—when the old woman wasn't paying attention, she had secretly slipped her business card into Jiang Siwei's pocket.

Shi Youxuan feels a bit regretful now, not knowing if doing this is right or wrong; she originally wanted to ask her husband and seek his opinion.

But seeing him like this, there is no need to ask.

Asking would be a waste of time.

Reunion dinner.

Wang Yinghao peels a large shrimp and places it in Sheng Zichen's bowl.

If it were before, he would have definitely eaten it happily, then acted cute for his grandmother, saying he wanted more!

But today, he did not.

Sheng Zichen's little face is very serious; he uses a spoon to scoop up the shrimp and gives it to Sheng Jiang: "Grandpa, eat; Grandpa is the most important."

"Very good," Shi Youxuan praises.

Sheng Jiang smiles and refuses: "Good Erbao, you eat it yourself; Grandpa is old and likes to eat light, I don't eat shrimp."

"No, Grandpa eat."

Sheng Zichen insists: "If Grandpa doesn't eat, Erbao won't eat either."

Shi Ran almost drops her jaw in shock.

Is this still the little foodie Sheng Zichen she knows?

To a foodie, snatching his food is like killing his parents; this is an irreconcilable hatred!

Not to mention voluntarily giving away delicious food he put in his own bowl to someone else; that is something that has never happened before.

Has the sun risen from the west?

Wang Yinghao wants to tell her granddaughter about what happened at the airport; just as she is about to start, Shi Youxuan picks up a chopstick of vegetables and hands it to her mother-in-law's mouth: "Mom, you've worked hard, eat some vegetables."

This is telling her not to speak.

So Wang Yinghao does not say it.

Children also have self-esteem; Sheng Zichen would not be willing to air his embarrassing affairs.

Shi Youxuan believes that this incident will make him remember for a long time, but she just didn't expect that he would actually remember it for a lifetime!

The second day after returning home.

Shi Youxuan prepares to go to the Jian Family to see her younger sister.

Her sister's mother-in-law, Lady Jian, has bullied her quite a bit during this time, and as the older sister, she needs to back her sister up.

She made a phone call before going.

Shi Youxuan drives to the entrance of the Jian Family, and Lady Jian is actually waiting at the entrance to welcome her.

She even personally helps her open the car door: "Xuanxuan is here, let Auntie see if you've lost weight? No, you're still as young and beautiful; how do you maintain yourself? Teach Wan'er and Yixin; look at how good your skin is, so supple and tender."

Lady Jian has a guilty conscience.

She knows full well why Shi Youxuan has come.

Therefore, she is deliberately trying to please her.

Lady Jian knows that Shi Youxuan responds to soft tactics rather than hard ones, so she plays to her preferences!

Shi Youxuan sees through her little schemes like a mirror.

She says with a smile: "Where would I have any secret to maintenance? It's mainly because life at home is worry-free, without any messy business; with fewer things to worry about, one appears younger."

"If I must say there is a secret, I have to thank my good mother-in-law."

Lady Jian blushes.

Shi Youxuan is implying something, and she hears it.

But this topic cannot be picked up, so she can only pretend she didn't hear anything and laughs it off.

Wan'er's room.

Shi Youxuan closes the door and gently approaches the small bed: "These three little ones are truly beautiful, Wan'er; they look exactly like you."

"Pfft!"

Wan'er laughs: "You can't say that; that's a roundabout way of praising yourself for being beautiful."

The two of them are twins, and the sisters look the same.

Shi Youxuan praising the children like this is indeed praising herself.

"Oh, right." Once Shi Youxuan thinks about it, she laughs too.

Three cribs are placed side-by-side in the bedroom, and with the children's various supplies, the originally large bedroom appears crowded.
