Chapter 816: The Wolf Falls in Love with the Sheep

Lao Qi and Nianyin have returned from the Ji Family.

They brought a surprise back with them.

They didn't just return as a pair; they were also carrying a fluffy "little dog."

The "little dog" was not yet a month old, a tiny ball curled up in Nianyin's arms.

Its fur was snow-white all over, and its sky-blue eyes were so pure they lacked a single impurity; although it was their first meeting, Shi Youxuan felt it looked very familiar—it was practically a carbon copy of Xiaobai!

"Wow, so cute! This little dog looks really beautiful!" Sheng Zichen liked it very much, carefully taking it over and unable to put it down.

Shi Youxuan said to her son, "It's not a dog; it's Xiaobai's younger sister."

Nianyin gave a thumbs up: "Big Sister is truly amazing; you saw it at a glance."

That's right, it was born after Pretty White returned to the Forest.

Based on the timing, it was conceived in Jiangzhou; a few days after the little wolf was born, Pretty White carried it to Lao Qi, "howling" to indicate that she wanted it sent to Jiangzhou and handed over to the Sheng Family.

And so, Nianyin and Lao Qi brought it back.

The whole family racked their brains to come up with a name for the newborn little wolf.

Finally, they decided to call it—Xiaoxiaobai.

The white wolf father is called Big White, the mother is called Beautiful White, the little wolf brother is called Little White, so the little sister shall be called Little Little White.

Simple and easy to remember.

Xiaoxiaobai is not as lively as Xiaobai; after all, she is a little girl, and her personality is very gentle.

Although she is a purebred wolf, white wolves are very intuitive and do not harm humans; aside from her howl being a bit strange, raising her just like a dog is the same.

Nianyin touched Shi Youxuan's belly, her face full of admiration: "Big Sister, you are all too amazing, getting pregnant with two or three at a time; this time when you give birth, can you give me one?"

Shi Youxuan decisively refused: "No!"

"If you like children, go have your own; what kind of habit is it to always covet other people's children?"

The Little Aunt is like this, and now Nianyin is the same.

Shi Youxuan really couldn't understand why the women of the Ji Family liked other people's children so much.

Nianyin lowered her head: "It's not very easy, Big Sister; you don't know yet, do you? The Ji Family has few descendants, especially those in high positions; it is very difficult to have children of one's own."

"Why?"

Nianyin revealed a matter she had never heard of before.

She said the Ji Family is cursed, so they have poor luck with children; for thousands of years, there has never been a set of twins born in the Ji Family—meaning women who give birth within the Ji Family.

This was the first time Shi Youxuan had heard of such a thing; no wonder the Little Aunt and Nianyin were fixated on her and her sister—it turned out to be for this reason.

Their mother was removed from the family register after leaving the Ji Family, so she should no longer be considered a member of the Ji Family, which is why she gave birth to the two sisters.

And then the two sisters grew up to adulthood, and their own offspring were not sparse.

Perhaps this was also the main reason why Ji Yingjie later agreed to let Nianyin live in Jiangzhou and the Ji Family for half a year each; she hoped Nianyin could have more children to continue the Ji Family line.

But Nianyin hadn't gotten pregnant after being married for several months, so the two of them set their sights on Shi Youxuan's children again.

However, no matter what, Shi Youxuan would not "adopt out" her children.

She told Nianyin clearly: "Don't you dare covet my children; even if I give birth to a hundred, I won't give you one. If you like children, go have your own."

Sheng Zichen chimed in from the side: "Even a sow can't give birth to a hundred."

Shi Youxuan:...

For the next three minutes, the room was filled with the wailing and howling of little Sheng Zichen begging for mercy.

After Xiaoxiaobai arrived home, the house became much livelier, and there was another very interesting thing.

She is different from her brother Xiaobai; Xiaobai likes to play with people and drools when he sees the dairy sheep in the back.

But Xiaoxiaobai is particularly dependent on the dairy sheep, almost treating it as her mother.

The wolf and the sheep are inseparable every day, eating and sleeping together.

Midnight.

Painful groans came from Sheng Jiang and Wang Yinghao's bedroom; Sheng Jiang had a stomachache, rolling on the bed in agony.

Wang Yinghao rushed out of the bedroom, shouting loudly: "Come quickly, someone come quickly!"

Sheng Jiang was sent to the hospital, and after an examination, it was an acute kidney stone.

After arrangements were made for lithotripsy, he lay on the hospital bed, listless and without any energy.

He had a full physical checkup two months ago, and he was perfectly fine with no issues at all; how could he suddenly get stones?

When they asked the doctor, the doctor asked if he had taken any medicine recently.

Wang Yinghao: "He hasn't taken any medicine; his health has always been very good, his blood pressure isn't high, and he doesn't take any medicine..." Before she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered.

She asked her husband: "Did you secretly eat those health supplements you bought?"

Having been a married couple for so long, she understood her husband.

Back then, when their son wanted to throw away those uncertified health supplements, he wouldn't let him, saying he would use them to show his old friends as a warning.

Could it be that he couldn't bear to throw them away and ate them himself?

The facts proved—yes!

It wasn't that Sheng Jiang was afraid of waste; it was mainly that he had been successfully brainwashed, and he felt these things should be good for his health, so he ate them in secret.

As a result, he ate his way to an acute kidney stone and ended up in the hospital.

The uncertified products were sent for testing, and the results came out quickly: ordinary calcium tablets with a small amount of painkiller ingredients.

Painkillers cannot be taken frequently; taking too many can easily cause irreparable damage to the body.

The calcium dosage was excessive and not absorbed, resulting in stones.

The test results were placed in front of his father, and Sheng Hanyu said with a cold face: "Look, are you still going to eat just anything?"

"No."

Sheng Jiang curled up under the quilt and said in a low voice.

He felt guilty and dared not look his son in the eye.

Back then, when his son wanted to throw that box of medicine away, he had secretly hidden it and claimed he had thrown it out; he never expected that after taking it for only a few days, something would go wrong.

Upon receiving the news that Sheng Jiang was hospitalized, Lady Jian brought flowers to visit him.

"I'm sorry, I truly didn't expect it to turn out like this. I am so sorry, Mrs. Sheng, truly so sorry." She kept apologizing to Wang Yinghao.

Although Wang Yinghao knew this wasn't her fault and that she had also been kept in the dark, she really couldn't bring herself to like Lady Jian.

"No need to apologize; just try to scam fewer people in the future."

Lady Jian's face flushed red.

But this matter was indeed her fault; she was the one who had taken Sheng Jiang there, so she had nothing to say when Wang Yinghao gave her the cold shoulder.

The health supplement store staff, who used to affectionately call him "Uncle," were nowhere to be seen now that Sheng Jiang was hospitalized from taking their medicine; they had even blocked his phone number, terrified of being implicated.

But if fear could solve problems, then what would be the point of regulatory departments?

Sheng Hanyu did not go soft this time; he took action whenever necessary.

The unlicensed health supplement store was sealed, and all its products were confiscated and destroyed so they could no longer harm anyone.

The store manager heard the news and tried to run away first, but was caught at the train station.

Exaggerated advertising was a minor issue, but making fake medicine was a major one; a prison sentence of at least three years was inevitable.

Because Sheng Jiang had an incident, several other elderly people went to the hospital for check-ups and discovered that their recent illnesses and hospitalizations were all related to taking their "health supplements."

Everyone went to the store to look for answers, but since the store manager had been arrested, no one was taking responsibility for the matter.

Everyone then went to Lady Jian's home and the hospital, seeking compensation from the Jian Family and the Sheng Family.

There were two reasons.

First, both families were wealthy.

Second, Lady Jian and Sheng Jiang had originally been treated as the store's poster children; they were the ones used in advertisements and promotions, and they had been very prominent.

People felt that this store must be inseparable from the two of them, so if they didn't go to them, who would they go to?
