Chapter 807: Can't I Marry You?

Is it because they have spent too much time in high society that they cannot understand the lives of ordinary people, or even those at the bottom?

Now is not the time for self-reflection, and Yuke's question simply cannot be answered.

Thus, Yuke concluded—Gu Zhihao is worthy of her!

"I want to go find Uncle, tell Uncle I want to marry him, and have him marry me."

She happily returned to her bedroom and began to pack her things.

She took out the light yellow schoolbag "Mom" had bought and stuffed in the clothes she thought were the prettiest... it wouldn't fit, never mind.

Yuke carried the bulging backpack, wore a yellow sun hat, and came out, announcing with a face full of pride: "I am going to marry Uncle, you all should congratulate me."

The three of them didn't take what she said to heart at all, but it turned out she was being serious.

Now they had to speak up, so Jian Yixin told her: "Your uncle has gone back to his hometown to marry someone else; he doesn't live there anymore, and you shouldn't go there again in the future."

"Why marry someone else and not marry me?"

The three of them looked at each other in dismay.

Shi Yucheng hardened his heart: "Because he doesn't like you."

"No, he said he likes me!"

Yuke fell ill.

She would not eat, drink, or speak to her family.

Every day, her favorite thing to do was to crawl into the wardrobe and talk to the wood grain on the closet door.

"When is Uncle coming back? Uncle is missing Yuke, Uncle doesn't want to marry another woman, Yuke misses Uncle too."

Shi Youxuan was four months pregnant, and her morning sickness had finally subsided.

Now she could eat the meals prepared without her son's guidance.

Her belly was bulging like it was being blown up; because she was carrying twins, it looked larger than that of an ordinary pregnant woman.

It was only a four-month belly, yet it looked as big as someone else's six-month belly.

Her husband went to work only after she urged him to; staying home every day to accompany his wife had made him a famous henpecked husband in Jiangzhou.

Sheng Hanyu was henpecked in name, but in reality, it was Shi Youxuan who felt she lacked freedom.

She was being managed too strictly by her husband.

She was not allowed to go up or down the stairs by herself.

When going out for a walk, she had to stay within his prescribed number of steps, and she wasn't even allowed to walk a little bit faster.

Even eating was restricted; she had to chew each mouthful at least thirty-six times before she was allowed to swallow.

Sheng Hanyu said a pregnant woman's stomach and intestines were delicate, so she had to chew thoroughly.

Furthermore, she had to drink eight glasses of water every day, even if she wasn't thirsty.

As for Coke or Sprite, Shi Youxuan couldn't even touch them; they were strictly forbidden!

And there was fried chicken, potato chips, and spicy hot pot.

Once she could eat again, her appetite was incredibly good, and she wanted to eat everything, especially the fried foods she hadn't touched for months.

At these times, her husband would transform into Tang Seng, endlessly nagging in her ear: "Pregnant women shouldn't eat fried food; it's bad for your health."

"Those have no nutrition; the meals our son makes are much better than that junk food. Be good, listen to me."

Is this even pregnancy?

It's less free than being in Prison.

Although this wasn't Sheng Hanyu's first time being a father, it was his first time accompanying a pregnant woman.

So he wanted to make up for the responsibilities he missed the first two times, but making up for too much was also a problem; she couldn't take it.

Shi Youxuan protested, but it was useless.

Thus, she seduced her husband into going to work, with a sufficient reason: "I am already four months pregnant now, the house doesn't need you, go to the company and work properly to earn milk money."

Plus, Yun Zhehao was urging him quite urgently on the other side, so despite his reluctance, he went to the company to work as usual.

Not long after her husband left that day, guests arrived at the house.

No one expected it—Zhu Xingye brought his wife and children, bringing many gifts to the door.

Ever since he successfully rescued his wife and children in L Country last time, Zhu Xingye had always wanted to express his gratitude to Sheng Hanyu.

If it weren't for him pulling him away from Zhu Yiwen in time, Zhu Xingye would likely be spending the rest of his life in Prison.

However, his whole family came to the Sheng Family to express their sincere thanks, but they were almost beaten out.

Sheng Jiang discovered Zhu Xingye and was so angry that he turned around, rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a broom, and beat him over the head and face: "Get out, you villain, you still dare to come to my house? Are you here to scam people again?"

Ai Li hurriedly protected her husband and explained: "Old gentleman, please don't be agitated, listen to me, our whole family came to thank you, last time thanks to you..."

Sheng Jiang would not listen to her explanation.

A villain's woman is also a villainous woman.

Because of Zhu Xingye, he had no good impression of Ai Li either, and he beat her along with him: "Get out, get out, this time you've even upgraded, wanting to come in a group to fool me, right? I won't be deceived; last time the Chicken Lays Eggs harmed me miserably, don't even think about using sweet talk to trick me again."

The two children screamed in terror.

"Let go, you savage."

"Daddy, Mommy, let's go quickly."

They were speaking English, and Sheng Jiang couldn't understand.

The commotion at the door soon alerted the family, and Wang Yinghao discovered Zhu Xingye; her reaction was similar to her husband's, and she was equally resentful.

But she was calmer than her husband; she didn't do it herself, but instead had the servants work together to drive the family of four out!

Shi Youxuan heard the commotion and came out, seeing exactly this scene.

She knew something was wrong and hurriedly stopped the servants from acting, and invited the family of four into the house.

"Mom and Dad, I will explain to you later; they are truly not bad people."

These things could not be explained in a sentence or two, but she could not just watch as the family of four was driven out by her parents-in-law.

Zhu Xingye did not want to make things difficult for Shi Youxuan, and this matter was indeed his own rashness.

He should have sent a formal notice in advance and come only after receiving permission; showing up so abruptly now was indeed poorly considered.

He said to Shi Youxuan, "Mrs. Sheng, we should head back to the hotel first. This is my address. Tomorrow, I will host a banquet at the Prince Hotel for your whole family, and I hope everyone can attend."

He bowed deeply, then took his wife and children and left.

"Explain yourself; what do you have to say to us?" Her parents-in-law were not very happy; they were not stupid, and from the way their daughter-in-law defended Zhu Xingye just now, both of them could tell.

There must be something between them that they did not know about.

Shi Youxuan was in a dilemma for a moment; if this matter was not explained well, it would easily cause a misunderstanding.

"I will call Hanyu and have him come back to explain it to you two in person."

Her intention was good, thinking that communication might be better between father and son.

But the actual situation was that not only did Sheng Hanyu fail to explain it clearly, he also infuriated the two elders.

Sheng Hanyu did not go home at all; when he heard on the phone that it was not his wife who was unwell, he felt there was nothing that required him to make a special trip back.

He said to his father on the phone, "There is nothing to explain. I had a partnership with Zhu Xingye back then and didn't tell you, so what?"

Sheng Jiang:...

"So what?"

He was very heartbroken, and the hand holding the phone was trembling: "That's right, we don't have as much ability as you. I didn't make the Sheng Family flourish, but you did; you are amazing."

"But we are also your mom and dad; can you show us at least a little respect? Of all people to partner with, why did you have to partner with that man? You know full well that I was almost killed by him back during the Chicken Lays Eggs incident..."
