Chapter 786: Having a Handle Held by Shi Youxuan

"Please rest assured, my sister and I grew up together, how could I bully her?" Shi Youxuan gave her father a reassurance. With her second daughter's guarantee, Shi Yucheng felt relieved and went downstairs.

"Dad, you're leaving just like that? No, don't..." Shi Yuke was almost on the verge of tears.

When she was fooling the old man, she felt quite satisfied.

But because the old man was so easily fooled by Shi Youxuan, she felt that her father was too stupid, didn't care enough about her, and wasn't concerned enough; if her mother were alive, it definitely wouldn't be like this!

In just a few short seconds, she thought of many, many things.

But it was all useless; her father had simply gone downstairs.

The sound of slippers on the stairs, one heavy step and one light, gradually faded away.

Shi Youxuan: "Rest assured, I won't do anything to you!"

Shi Yuke said with a mournful face: "Are you keeping your word? Why do I feel so uneasy?"

The reason she felt uneasy was because of a guilty conscience, but Shi Youxuan kept her word; however, keeping her word wasn't without conditions—she was not allowed to harass Jian Yixin in the future, especially Moli.

She was not allowed to see the child.

Others might not know, but how could Shi Youxuan not know her?

She had no feelings for her son at all; if she had even the slightest bit of affection, she wouldn't have traded the child for money.

Just a verbal agreement wouldn't do; she had to write an agreement and record a video.

Shi Yuke looked bitter and was quite unwilling: "Is that necessary? This kind of thing isn't honorable, why make it so formal?"

Shi Youxuan: "You still know that? You know it's not honorable? Knowing it's not honorable, you still went to ask them for money?"

"If it weren't for Yixin back then, do you think your son could be the glorious young master of the Sheng Family now..."

Shi Yuke was unconvinced and muttered in a low voice: "He is a member of the Sheng Family to begin with."

Shi Youxuan:...

Fine, she wasn't wrong.

Moli was Sheng Yukai's son, so of course, he counted as a member of the Sheng Family.

But a child isn't defined solely by blood; those who only give birth without raising are not fit to be parents!

Shi Youxuan sneered: "Heh, do you know how Sheng Yukai died back then? He was just like you, he kidnapped Yixin and her son for money, and later, knowing the truth, he committed suicide out of shame."

"You aren't even as good as Sheng Yukai."

Shi Yuke didn't dare to retort after being snapped at; when under someone else's roof, one has to bow their head. Her future life still depended on Shi Youxuan, and now was not the time to be fierce or aggressive.

Although reluctant, she finally signed the agreement obediently and stated in front of the camera that she only disowned her son for the sake of money.

The son wasn't important; she only gave birth to that child back then because she couldn't have an abortion. If she could have had an abortion, Moli would never have come into this world.

Everything was for the sake of money.

Although these were all true, it was still very difficult to admit them personally.

But if she didn't admit it, she wouldn't get money in the future, and Shi Yuke had a major handle held by Shi Youxuan—when she was at the Ji Family, Shi Yuke had blood on her hands!

As long as she held onto this point, she wouldn't dare to go too far.

As long as Shi Yuke behaved herself and didn't stir up trouble, Shi Youxuan could guarantee her a life free from worry about food and clothing, a life of abundance forever.

But if she remained as greedy as before, she wouldn't get a single benefit.

With her handle firmly held by Shi Youxuan, Shi Yuke didn't dare to trouble Jian Yixin for the time being, and everyone lived a period of stable, peaceful days.

Zichen's kindergarten was holding a parent-child activity—all the kindergarten children's parents were to take their children to play at the wildlife park.

Shi Youxuan dressed the little guy up beautifully and cleanly, ready to head out.

Sheng Hanyu said he was going to prepare the car and had gone out early in the morning!

The mother and son were ready and walked hand-in-hand to the door—"Whoa!"

They were startled.

Was this a whole motorcade prepared?

A long line of black luxury cars was parked at the entrance, at least a dozen of them.

The front and back were all uniform Land Rovers, and in the middle was an RV, prepared for the family of three.

"Sheng Hanyu, what are you doing?"

Shi Youxuan felt her temples throbbing with pain.

This wasn't going to a kindergarten parent-child activity; this was blatant showing off of wealth. Parents would definitely have opinions and then make snide remarks in the group chat...

Sheng Hanyu, as a father, only knew how to glare and establish authority at home; in reality, he didn't care about kindergarten matters at all.

The "Parent Committee" matters were all coordinated by the mother, and he didn't know that what the child wore to kindergarten every day was a headache-inducing matter.

If they dressed too well, parents would immediately make snide remarks: "Oh my, why are you showing off your family's status? A piece of clothing costing several thousand is spoiling the child too much; when they grow up, they'll just be a playboy who only knows how to spend money and has no future..." blah blah blah.

If they didn't dress well, such people wouldn't jump out to your face, but they would gossip behind your back.

They would mock such children's families for being shabby, claiming their character must be poor, and tell their own children not to play with the shabbily dressed kids.

In the eyes of such people, it seemed everyone in the world had to be like them, otherwise, they were all wrong!

Resenting others for having things and mocking those who don't was the hallmark of such people.

But unfortunately, such people were not a minority; they made up a large proportion of the kindergarten.

Sheng Zichen's family background was already eye-catching enough; Shi Youxuan usually took extra care, which was why she hadn't been caught by those gossiping women.

Today, her husband wanted to bring a motorcade, which was equivalent to delivering his head on a platter, becoming a target.

Seeing his wife frown, Sheng Hanyu thought she was feeling unwell and placed his large hand on her forehead: "Are you feeling unwell?"

She brushed her husband's hand away and said crossly: "Don't change the subject. We can just drive the car we usually use to take the child; let these people disperse."

"Why?"

"Why? Fine, I'll tell you. If we go to meet the parents like this today, no one will say anything at the time, but the next day our Zichen will be ostracized, and parents will protest in the group chat, saying you're showing off your wealth!"

Sheng Hanyu still looked bewildered: "I have long been the richest man in Jiangzhou, do I still need to show off? This is a fact."

Shi Youxuan:...

This man?

He is asking for a beating.

If it weren't for the bodyguards waiting in the cars, and the need to save face for her husband, she would really like to give him a thrashing right now.

Especially on the head, starting with a few knuckle raps to see if it could knock some sense into him.

He had never cared about others' opinions since he was young, and having been accustomed to acting independently his whole life, did he think everyone else could be like him? That they didn't need to care about anything?

Although she didn't quite understand, Sheng Hanyu eventually had the motorcade withdraw.

The family of three drove the car they usually used to take Zichen to kindergarten to the wildlife park.

In the car, Sheng Hanyu explained to his wife the main reason why he had brought so many cars and bodyguards today.

The parent-child summer camp that Shi Ran attended in L Country when she was little had left him with psychological trauma.

Ever since then, whenever he heard about kindergarten activities, he felt there was danger.

Shi Youxuan:...

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Her husband was touted as god-like on the outside, a perfect male deity, an existence as powerful as if he were invincible.

In reality, he also had shortcomings and weaknesses.

It was just that he hid them exceptionally well and would not reveal them in front of outsiders.

Wildlife park.

By the time they arrived, most of the parents had already arrived.

Everyone's cars were about the same; the BMW 5 Series they drove was considered upper-middle class, not the best car, and it was not conspicuous.
