Chapter 756: A Son and a Daughter, Each with Their Own Traits

Even if there is no heavy labor, one must find something for Nianyin to do; the more she does, the more at ease she will feel staying in this home.

The mother-in-law agreed, and the two of them set off.

Just before leaving, the couple pondered that saying goodbye to their son would surely be a scene of tearful parting!

After all, during this period, the little guy had spent every day in the Study, and he was already used to it.

Sheng Hanyu was also worried that his son would not adapt to his absence, and Shi Youxuan was worried that her son would miss his mother after not seeing her for a month; however... the two of them had clearly overestimated their status in their son's heart.

"Goodbye, Mom and Dad."

The little guy held his grandmother with one hand and waved at his parents with the other. As soon as he finished saying "Goodbye," he turned his head and said to Fang Jie: "Can we have braised pork for lunch? Since they aren't home, I can drink cola now, right?"

The couple:...

Is this really their biological child?

If it weren't for the fact that Sheng Zichen has a face almost identical to Sheng Hanyu's, the two would have suspected that the child had been swapped at birth.

No, even if he had been swapped, there would still be affection after raising him for several years.

"Little white-eyed wolf."

"Little heartless thing."

The couple each scolded their son once, and then left hand in hand!

There was no need to worry; with them not at home, their son could only live more comfortably than he did now, not worse!

The first stop for the couple was L Country.

Shi Youxuan had been away from here for many years, and upon returning, she almost didn't recognize it!

In these few years, L Country had changed too much.

The original antique Architecture was all gone, and what little remained were just broken walls and ruins.

Yet among these broken walls and ruins, there were brand-new buildings and scenes of bustling construction everywhere!

The two scenes formed a sharp contrast.

All these changes were inseparable from two people—Zhu Yiwen and Sheng Hanyu.

Zhu Yiwen had personally plotted at the beginning, throwing L Country into chaos, with the flames of war flying everywhere and countless losses.

Yet he had made a fortune from the war here.

Although he failed later, Zhu Yiwen still made a huge profit; it was not hard-earned money, but money exchanged for many human lives.

But the current vitality of L Country had a close relationship with Sheng Hanyu.

After the Vice President took office, he mainly focused on the domestic economy and restored various infrastructure construction.

These businesses were ostensibly contracted by Wang Hai, but in reality, Ding Sheng held the lion's share. Ding Sheng had ready-made construction companies in Jiangzhou, so there was no need to struggle; they just copied the processes and everything else directly over.

Therefore, the current scene in L Country was very similar to Jiangzhou; if she hadn't just gotten off the plane, Shi Youxuan would have thought she was in Jiangzhou.

The two enjoyed the scenery along the way and finally arrived at the Vice President's Mansion, where they handed in their visiting card.

The guard went in to announce them, and soon Lady Qi came out personally to welcome them.

"Xuanxuan, Mr. Sheng, why did you come without a word? You didn't even call me in advance so I could send someone to pick you up at the airport."

Although she was happy to see Shi Youxuan, she still looked vigilant: "Are you here to take Ranran back? She has only stayed for a few days; I won't allow her to leave. Let me tell you both, once you are on my turf, you must listen to me. I will send Ranran back at the end of the year."

"We already agreed on this; you cannot go back on your word!"

After entering the door, they weren't even served a cup of tea before being questioned at length.

Moreover, when Meiqi said these things, she looked at Shi Youxuan with vigilance, as if they had come to L Country to snatch the child from her.

Someone who didn't know better would have thought Shi Ran was her biological daughter.

Shi Youxuan said: "Ranran is still at your house. We didn't come this time to take her back, but because we have very important matters to discuss with the Vice President."

"Oh, oh."

Lady Qi beamed with joy.

"Serve tea."

"Squeeze some juice."

"Notify the gentleman that distinguished guests have arrived at home, extremely important guests..."

"Go to the school to pick up the young master and young lady and bring them back; tell them distinguished guests have arrived at home!"

The young master refers to Qi Heng, and the young lady refers to Shi Ran.

The Qi Family only had one son, Qi Heng, and no other children.

Things that should have been done as soon as they entered the door, she only just thought to arrange now; the two felt it was amusing, but they didn't say anything.

The two children arrived home first.

Although Shi Ran was a guest in L Country, Lady Qi did not delay the child's studies. In L Country, it was incredibly easy for her to arrange for a transfer student to enter the best school.

"Mom, Dad."

"Are you here to take me home? How are Grandpa, Grandma, my little brother, and everyone else?"

Shi Youxuan: "Everyone is fine, they just miss you. But I didn't come to take you back this time; Dad and I have urgent business to attend to, and we came to see you while we were at it."

Shi Ran:...

Came to see you while you were at it?

Is this something a biological mother would say?

The child was very magnanimous and did not feel sad or hurt because her biological mother didn't act like one.

Mainly because she had understood her mother's character since she was small.

Having not seen the child for a month, Shi Ran had grown taller and a bit chubbier, and her complexion was exceptionally good; it looked like she was living very well at the Qi Family.

A moment later, the Vice President also returned.

The Vice President was busy with official duties every day, handling a myriad of tasks.

The two of them thought it would be early if he could return within two hours, but he entered the house in less than ten minutes: "Hanyu, hahahahaha, I dreamed of you last night. You might not believe it if I told you, come, let's go to the Study."

The two men went to the Study to discuss matters.

The women sat in the living room chatting, Meiqi ordered the servants to prepare the best guest room for the couple to stay in, and she held Shi Youxuan's hand affectionately, refusing to let go.

"Xuanxuan, you've come at just the right time. I also have something to discuss with you. Shall we arrange an engagement for the two children?"

Shi Youxuan:...

This was too impatient.

"There is no rush for this matter, the two children are still young..."

Her words were interrupted halfway by Lady Qi: "What do you mean young? They aren't young anymore. If we settle it now, no other scoundrels will be eyeing our Ranran, and I won't have to worry constantly."

Shi Youxuan did not know that although Shi Ran had not been in L Country for long, she was already being eyed by the wives of the entire upper-class society.

This matter was also her own fault; thinking back on it now, Lady Qi was filled with regret.

When Shi Ran first arrived, Qi Fu held a cocktail party, and at the party, Shi Ran played a Chopin nocturne.

It was originally just a polite performance, but it ended up being a stunning success!

From that day on.

Almost every day, people came to the residence to visit, beating around the bush to inquire about Shi Ran, and some even had the audacity to ask for their sons to come to Qi Fu to play with Shi Ran!

How could this be allowed?

Shi Ran was the daughter-in-law candidate she had set her sights on and absolutely could not be eyed by others, but Shi Ran was too outstanding; outstanding people cannot be hidden even if one tries.

That was why she was in such a rush to settle the engagement with Shi Youxuan; a betrothal was the first step, and the second step was to find a way to keep Shi Ran here.

Shi Youxuan saw through what she was thinking.

Of course, she could not agree.

The children were still too young now, and there were too many unstable factors; if they could be together when they grew up, of course she would be happy to see it, but if they each found someone else they liked later, it would be bad if they became enemies instead of being wed.

Back then, she, Sheng Hanyu, and Jian Yixin were perfect examples of this.

"Do you know why we came this time?" Shi Youxuan changed the subject without a trace.

"You are still here to take Ranran home." Lady Qi said, and tears fell.

She was truly reluctant to let the child go back; although the time they spent together day and night was not very long, the bond was very deep.

Shi Youxuan:...

This woman just could not get away from this topic.

"We came for Zhu Yiwen."

Now it was Lady Qi's turn to be astonished.
