Chapter 792: A Fake Blind Date
Lao Qi personally escorted the Bai Langs back; the journey required passing through numerous checkpoints, and transporting animals across borders was no easy task—without someone reliable to look after them, they would not have been at ease.
When Lao Qi and Nianyin first married, it was agreed they would each live in Jiangzhou and the Ji Family for half a year.
But the reality was—Nianyin spent more time at the Ji Family, and Lao Qi spent more time in Jiangzhou.
Although the couple were newlyweds, they spent little time together due to their respective jobs!
This trip to deliver the Bai Langs was the perfect opportunity for Lao Qi to return and reunite with his wife.
The car drove far away, so far that not even a shadow could be seen, before the family of four finally left the Villa to head home.
On the way.
Sheng Zichen, who was usually talkative and cheerful with almost no worries, was sullen; his round little face was pressed against the window glass looking outside, and he didn't say a word.
Shi Ran didn't speak either, keeping her head down.
Shi Youxuan didn't feel well inside either, but she was a mother, so even if she was sad, she tried her best not to show it in front of the children.
Mother suggested: "Let's not go home for lunch today, how about we go out for hot pot?"
"No," Sheng Zichen refused.
Sheng Hanyu, who was driving, glanced sideways at his son: "Huh, you can actually refuse good food? Did the sun rise from the west today?"
"Wah—"
The little guy suddenly burst into loud sobs.
He cried while saying: "The sun is gone, my White Wolf went home, boo-hoo-hoo, I'm so sad, so sad I can't eat..."
His older sister was also very sad.
Originally she could hold it in, but with her younger brother crying, she couldn't help her own tears from falling down.
Shi Youxuan glared at her husband, blaming him for being a chatterbox.
He was usually stingy with his words when talking to the children, but today he had to chime in when he shouldn't have.
Then she went to comfort the children.
Sheng Hanyu didn't dare to say anything more; he stuck out his tongue and focused on driving.
Moli was three years old.
According to the customs of Jiangzhou, once a child reached three, it meant they were easy to raise, so it was time for a big celebration.
Jian Yixin was both happy and melancholy.
What made her happy was that her son was three; not only had he grown taller and stronger, but his personality had also become much more cheerful and lively.
Yu Qingwan had examined the child and then announced the good news to Jian Yixin: "Congratulations Yixin, under your careful care, your Baobao's various indicators have returned to normal levels; he can live just like a normal child."
What made her melancholy was—would Yuke come over to cause trouble?
Yuke had been warned by Shi Youxuan last time and had been well-behaved for a while, receiving money from Jian Yixin every month, so she had no worries about food or drink.
But recently, she was getting restless again.
Her father warned her: "Don't go looking for Yixin; just because they have money has nothing to do with you, one must have a conscience..."
Her father's earnest teachings sounded like the buzzing of mosquitoes to Yuke.
She definitely wouldn't listen, and not only would she not listen, she would also feel extremely annoyed.
"Alright, alright, shut your mouth; chattering all day long, it's enough to annoy someone to death," Yuke said with great impatience.
She had long been tired of living with her father; if it weren't for that dead woman Shi Youxuan being so meddlesome and insisting she live with her father, she would have moved out long ago.
She had ten million in her hands that she had gotten from Jian Yixin, which was enough for her to move out.
Although her monthly allowance was a bit small, only one hundred thousand, there was no one to boss her around, and Yuke believed that with her own abilities, it would be easy to hook a rich man!
When that time came, there would be money for her to spend, and he would coax her to be happy; she didn't know how comfortable her life would be.
How could it be like now?
Every day all she saw were old men or old women, or sick people recuperating here... Actually, there were many rich people among the patients recuperating here, but she just didn't have the opportunity to make a move.
Her father watched her too closely, and the patients were surrounded by doctors, nurses, Assistants, and bodyguards; looking at it this way, theirs was the most shabby!
Yuke had complained more than once, disliking that there were too few people to serve her and that the display was insufficient.
She complained that Shi Youxuan was stingy and miserly.
The richer she was, the stingier she became, not even willing to hire a few more servants for her father.
Actually, she didn't know that Shi Youxuan had wanted to hire more servants to come and serve, but gave up on the idea after Shi Yucheng strongly opposed it.
The old man didn't like the hustle and bustle; more people meant more trouble, but Yuke didn't understand this logic.
Just as she looked down on her father, her father also looked down on her behavior!
But there was no help for it; she was his own flesh and blood, so even if she was a beast, he couldn't bear to strangle her.
Shi Yucheng wouldn't let her go out and watched her closely.
Yet he himself started preparing clothes for going out and even secretly discussed gifts with Shi Liu behind her back.
The day of Moli's birthday arrived.
In the morning, Yuke got up early for the first time, went to the restaurant to get breakfast herself, and set it on the dining table.
When Shi Yucheng came downstairs and saw his daughter up early and having even brought back breakfast, he was very happy: "Yo, did the sun rise from the west today? You actually got up so early?"
Yuke said with a straight face: "My younger sister is introducing a boyfriend to me; I heard he's not bad, so I'm going to take a look."
"Is that so? That's great! Do you have suitable clothes? Why didn't you say so earlier? Is there still time to buy some now?" Shi Yucheng believed it to be true and started worrying about what his daughter would wear when she went out later.
This old man was too easy to fool; Yuke said calmly: "No need to buy clothes. What kind of goods could she possibly introduce to me? If there were any good ones, she wouldn't introduce them to me. I don't want to go, but not going would be too disrespectful to Shi Youxuan, and I'm afraid she'll scheme against me behind my back..."
She deliberately put on an unwilling look; only then would it be more realistic.
"You, you always think of others in the worst way. Actually, your sister is a very good person; you need to learn to discover the merits of others, and life will be more beautiful if you complain less..."
Her father started chattering away first thing in the morning, but he believed her words implicitly and urged her repeatedly to eat quickly so she could go back and try on clothes after eating.
He also said: "Do not use the heart of a petty person to measure the belly of a gentleman. Your sister is a magnanimous person; as long as you behave yourself in the future, she will not hold it against you..."
Shi Yuke could basically recite these words of her father's backward.
There was not a single fresh trick.
"Alright, alright, stop talking. Everyone else is fine, and I am bad in every way. I really don't know if it was her or me who was adopted back then. Since you dislike me so much, I will go upstairs, so you won't have to see me and be annoyed."
She went upstairs huffily, not even eating breakfast.
"Sister Yuke..."
Shi Liu prepared to persuade her, but Shi Yucheng sighed and stopped him: "Don't worry about her. If she doesn't eat, let her be; missing one meal won't hurt." He understood his eldest daughter's temper.
Don't look at how she put on an unwilling appearance; she would definitely prepare meticulously for the blind date.
As long as there was a chance to meet a good man, his eldest daughter would absolutely never miss it!
But this time he miscalculated; Shi Yucheng could never have dreamed that the blind date was actually fake, just an excuse his eldest daughter used to fool him.
The time for them to depart was almost here, and Shi Yucheng did not like to be late.
The two of them ate breakfast quickly; there would surely be a lot to do over there today, and they wanted to go over early to see if there was anything they could help with.
Thinking only of other matters, they didn't notice at all that there were only two portions of breakfast on the table; Yuke hadn't prepared a portion for herself at all!
Halfway through the meal.
Shi Yucheng felt a bit dizzy, and his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
He had clearly rested very well last night with high sleep quality, so why was he so drowsy now?
