Chapter 827: The Relationship Between Father and Son 1

He sat down immediately.

He didn't actually want to, but his legs went weak and wouldn't listen to him; he sat down as if by reflex.

Shi Youxuan was also very serious, but her tone was much gentler than her husband's as she explained to him, "Brother-in-law, don't take it the wrong way. Hanyu is educating the child, not targeting you."

She turned to her son and said earnestly, "Your Xi Fu is right that you are still young, but being young is not an excuse to be willful. Your Xi Fu has been busy in the kitchen for several hours preparing a table full of food. Is it appropriate for you to make such a request just as he sat down to eat?"

"Think about it: if you had cooked a table full of food in the kitchen and were very hungry, and someone said to you, 'Sheng Zichen, don't eat, go make it all over again,' how would you feel?"

When people stand from different perspectives, their views on problems are different.

Sheng Zichen started to pout and was about to cry, but after hearing what his mother said, he took the initiative to stand up and apologize to his Xi Fu: "Xi Fu, I'm sorry. I was wrong."

Jian Yixin secretly took note of this in her heart.

Moli looks sensible, but sometimes she is also willful, and she simply cannot bear to scold her.

Knowing she is wrong but not saying anything leads to the child becoming increasingly willful.

This won't do; she truly needs to be disciplined.

It seems that what Sheng Hanyu and his wife are doing is very good; she must learn from them.

……

The health supplement project that Sheng Hanyu and Zhu Xingye are collaborating on has officially launched.

Jian Yining is also involved in this matter.

These past few days, Zhu Xingye has been staying in Jiangzhou and running to the Sheng Family almost every day; the three of them spend hours at a time in the Study.

Sheng Zichen is exempted from having to "study" in the Study, and he is very happy; he runs to the kitchen every day after leaving the Study.

But Sheng Jiang is not so happy.

His experience from a while ago makes him feel that health supplements are not a serious business; isn't that just a scam?

The family isn't short on money, so why risk the reputation of the Sheng Family over several generations for this?

He mentioned it to his son once, but was rebuffed as soon as he started: "What you did and what I am doing are not the same thing; don't confuse them."

Consequently, Sheng Jiang dared not bring it up to his son again.

However, not daring to bring it up to his son does not mean he accepts it.

So he spoke to his daughter-in-law, hoping she could persuade his son.

Shi Youxuan listened patiently to her father-in-law's words and couldn't help but laugh: "Dad, let me explain. Hanyu is right; the so-called health supplement shop you went to back then is indeed not the same thing as what Hanyu and the others are doing."

"Real health supplements are definitely beneficial to the body. From research and development to testing and production, there is a very rigorous process, unlike the 'three-no' shops you went to."

"A Ning's family runs hospitals. He has found many domestic and international health experts and medical doctoral supervisors in this field, as well as internationally renowned nutrition experts, to work on this together. By combining their strengths, the health supplements developed have no side effects on the human body and have many benefits when taken long-term..."

One hour later.

Sheng Jiang finally realized the truth and was relieved this time.

"Oh, so it's that complicated? Then I can rest easy."

He was very grateful to his daughter-in-law for being able to explain it to him patiently and meticulously; if only his son were this patient as well.

His wife chuckled: "Don't you have any idea what your own son is like? Never mind that he doesn't have the time; even if he did, he wouldn't explain it to you. Hanyu has always been a man of few words, regardless of who he is talking to."

Sheng Jiang: "That's not true. He isn't like that with Xuanxuan."

His wife retorted: "Xuanxuan isn't as ignorant as you, asking all sorts of unnecessary nonsense. That couple has common topics and can talk to each other, so naturally, they have more to say."

The old couple was just lamenting, but Shi Youxuan silently took it to heart.

That night, as the couple lay in bed, Shi Youxuan specifically recounted the conversation between her parents-in-law to her husband.

She said to her husband: "Your coldness is fine for outsiders, but can you not be so cold to your parents? Have a little more patience with them. Don't always think it's unnecessary. Sometimes, it's not that the elderly don't understand you, but that you never gave them the chance to understand you."

Sheng Hanyu helped his wife massage her legs. His wife was having a hard time with the twins, and her legs would swell if she stood for too long, so no matter how busy he was every day, he would help her massage her legs to make her feel more comfortable.

"Isn't there you at home?"

He admitted that his wife was right and knew his own shortcomings in this regard.

But due to his personality, it wasn't something he could change just because he wanted to.

Shi Youxuan gave him a reproachful glare: "There are some things I can help you explain, but just because the elderly aren't worried doesn't mean you can push everything onto me."

"Can a son and a daughter-in-law be the same? I can keep the elderly from worrying, but you can make Dad and Mom feel warmed."

Sheng Hanyu: ……

He didn't know how.

The couple went to bed half an hour later than usual that night, mainly discussing how to make the elderly "feel warmed."

The next morning.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"What's the matter?" Wang Yinghao turned on the light and got out of bed to open the door.

It wasn't time to get up yet, and it wasn't even dawn; who would be knocking on the door so early?

She thought it was a servant.

But when the door opened, she was stunned.

Her son was standing at the doorway, holding two cups of steaming milk.

"You and Dad should drink this while it's hot."

"Huh?"

"Are you alright?"

Her first reaction wasn't to take the milk, but to reach out and touch her son's forehead.

She suspected he was still groggy from sleep or had gone to the wrong room.

Sheng Hanyu was caught between laughter and tears, feeling a bit sour in his heart.

"Mom, I'm fine. The milk is just heated for you two. I'll bring it every day from now on."

Wang Yinghao was slightly stunned, but she quickly realized it was her daughter-in-law's doing.

It must have been last night that her daughter-in-law told her son to be better to his parents, which was why he acted this way.

She understood her son's temper; if he was being attentive for no reason, it was because of guilt, and he was expressing it in another way!

"Alright, I'll call your father to get up and drink the milk. Your father has been saying these past few days that he wanted to drink a cup of hot milk after waking up, but I kept forgetting." Wang Yinghao took the milk and immediately called her husband to get up and drink it.

For some reason, Sheng Hanyu felt his eyes grow a little moist.

His throat also felt uncomfortable, as if it were stuffed with cotton.

He was afraid his parents would notice, so he hurried off to the Study.

There was no need to call.

Sheng Jiang was already awake and had heard the conversation between mother and son at the door.

He sat on the bed, dazed, and could hardly believe this was real!

"The milk your son heated for you, drink it. Taste if it's fragrant and sweet?" Wang Yinghao teased.

He took it with both hands, held it in his palms, and sniffed it under his nose, looking intoxicated and unable to bear drinking it.

Sheng Jiang never dared to dream that one day his son would personally heat milk for him!

It was something that had never happened before.

The very first time since the dawn of time.

He couldn't bear to drink it; once finished, it would be gone.

Wang Yinghao was a little better than her husband, but only just a little.

She was equally intoxicated by this immense happiness, sipping it in small mouthfuls, and only realized her husband was still clutching the milk cup in his palms after she had finished her own cup.

"Why aren't you drinking? It'll get cold if you don't."

"I can't bear to; once finished, it's gone."

Wang Yinghao:...

She reminded him: "It's gone once you finish it, but your heart is warm."

"Mm."

Sheng Jiang drank it all in one gulp; the milk had cooled slightly, but his heart was still warm.

Elderly people have light sleep; once awake, they cannot fall back asleep.

There was still some time before they had to get up, so the old couple chatted.

Sheng Jiang: "A-Hao, pinch me; I want to see if this is a dream or reality." Even with the milk in his stomach, he still couldn't believe it was real!
