Chapter 833: Best Friends Have a Falling Out

Moli was over three years old, but Jian Yixin still kept the child at home instead of sending him to kindergarten.

Her husband urged her that it was time to send the child to kindergarten, saying that if she didn't, it would be easy for him to fail to get along with other children in the future.

Children of the same age all went to kindergarten; they went to school together and played together after school, sharing a common language.

Moli was naturally introverted, and Sheng Zerong was also afraid that if this continued, the child would become even less adept at socializing.

In fact, she understood all these principles!

But whenever Jian Yixin thought about her son going to kindergarten, leaving her sight, and potentially being bullied by other children, or encountering a bad teacher, what would she do if he were bullied by the teacher?

Just thinking about these things made her anxious and uneasy, unable to settle down all day.

Sheng Zerong had no choice but to suggest that his wife go and seek advice from Shi Youxuan.

Back when Sheng Zichen went to kindergarten, Shi Youxuan and her husband had also taken many wrong turns, so as someone who had been through it, she should have good ideas.

Jian Yixin felt her husband was right, so she went to the Sheng Family to find Shi Youxuan for guidance.

The Sheng Family.

She poured out her troubles to her best friend, and Shi Youxuan said, "I understand how you feel, but Ze Rong is right. Moli is naturally introverted; you can't stop him from going to kindergarten just because you're afraid he'll be bullied."

"How about this: let Moli go to the same kindergarten Zichen attends. The teachers there are quite good; they won't suppress a child's nature, nor will they bully the children. If Moli goes there, Zichen can also look after him."

"That wouldn't be good, would it?" Jian Yixin hesitated, not very willing.

Shi Youxuan didn't think much of it and replied casually, "I think it's quite good. Zichen is happy every day."

At the very beginning, she was just like any other parent, not wanting her child to lose at the starting line.

But after experiencing the Bilingual Kindergarten, she felt that nothing else was as important; the child being happy themselves was what mattered most.

The current Jian Yixin was just like she used to be... no, even more anxious than Shi Youxuan was at the time!

"What's good about it? I don't see Zichen learning anything else at kindergarten; he only thinks about eating. I don't want Moli to become a cook in the future..." Jian Yixin's voice grew quieter, but Shi Youxuan still caught the meaning in her words.

Her best friend was implying that Zichen had no ambition in kindergarten and only cared about food!

She felt a bit unhappy.

No mother could remain calm inside when someone else was looking down on her son.

"Then go wherever you want. Why don't you just not go to kindergarten at all? Just have him be a Chairman directly; one step and he's there."

Jian Yixin hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, Xuanxuan. I didn't mean that; please don't misunderstand."

"Fine, I just can't stand you being too lax with your child." Seeing that Shi Youxuan's expression hadn't changed, she simply spoke her mind.

"You can't let children do whatever they want. Zichen is the eldest son and grandson of the Sheng Family; he is a man who will inherit Dingsheng in the future. He can't be a cook, can he?"

Shi Youxuan:...

These words sounded very familiar; her husband had said the same thing before.

But she disagreed, "What's wrong with being a cook? There is no distinction of high or low in professions. As long as the child is happy, I don't think there's anything wrong with being a cook."

"That's what you think, but your husband won't think so! He is the eldest son and grandson of the Sheng Family. He was born into this world with a mission; he cannot be like you, doing whatever he wants."

Shi Youxuan: "What's wrong with me? Why can't my son be like me?"

Jian Yixin: "You grew up in the Shi Family and never received any real education. Hanyu is different from you, and Zichen is also different from you. You cannot use your own experience to educate the child; it will harm him."

The two of them started to argue.

Shi Youxuan: "What exactly did you come here for? To ask for my opinion or to specifically make me angry? You don't need to worry about what happens to my son in the future; he has a father and a mother, and we will naturally be responsible for him."

Jian Yixin: "Don't be ungrateful. I only said these things to you because I treat you as a best friend; otherwise, I wouldn't bother talking to you about this."

Shi Youxuan retorted, "Just worry about yourself. You haven't even figured out your own son's kindergarten situation, yet you're pointing fingers at someone else's child. I don't need your hypocritical pretense of kindness."

"Fine, fine, consider me meddlesome, alright? I'm sorry! If I ever interfere in your family's affairs again, I'm a pig." Jian Yixin stood up, grabbed her coat in a huff, and left.

Just as she was about to exit the main gate, Wang Yinghao returned from the backyard with freshly cut chives, preparing to make chive pockets to treat the guest.

Jian Yixin liked this dish, and because she had a good relationship with her daughter-in-law and often came to the house, Wang Yinghao remembered it.

"Hey, why are you leaving? I'm making chive pockets for lunch; stay and eat before you go."

"No, I have things to do."

Jian Yixin's expression was unpleasant. Seeing this, Wang Yinghao went upstairs and saw that her daughter-in-law's expression was also unpleasant.

"Did you two argue?"

The two of them usually had a very good relationship; how could they have argued for no reason?

"That woman is inexplicable. She hasn't even managed her own family's affairs, yet she always wants to point fingers at others. She's a lunatic." Shi Youxuan hadn't calmed down; she was furious.

"Don't be angry; the baby in your belly is what's important. If you don't like her, we won't associate with her in the future."

Regardless of who was right or wrong, the mother-in-law knew that being good to her daughter-in-law was never wrong.

The mother-in-law persuaded her for a good while before going downstairs.

Shi Youxuan was still very angry and didn't eat much for lunch or dinner.

She thought about it all afternoon and was angry all afternoon.

Being pregnant already made one prone to anxiety, and coupled with the fact that Jian Yixin had been childhood sweethearts with her husband and had a history, she naturally let her imagination run wild.

She wondered if Jian Yixin still liked Sheng Hanyu.

For so many years, every time the two of them met, it was unnatural and they deliberately avoided each other. If there wasn't something fishy, was there any need to do that?

Shi Youxuan got stuck in a dead end, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt she was right.

Sheng Hanyu came home late from working overtime today. Seeing his wife's poor complexion, he asked, "What's wrong? Who upset you?"

"No one, just a menopausal woman," she said crossly.

"Wife, don't be angry. Tell me about it; I'll vent your anger for you."

Shi Youxuan had been stewing all afternoon and was truly unhappy, so she told her husband about what happened at noon.

"Oh, Yixin was right about this. Actually, I've wanted to tell you for a long time, but you never listen. Zichen's habit really should be managed; you can't spoil the child too much. It won't do to just follow his temper in everything..."

He kept talking on his own, never noticing that his wife's expression was becoming increasingly ugly.

"What is wrong with you?"

By the time he realized it, it was already too late; his wife's face was so dark that ink could be wrung from it.

"Sheng Hanyu, tell me the truth. Are you particularly regretful that you didn't marry Jian Yixin? You grew up together, were childhood sweethearts, shared the same interests and values, and you even had an engagement before. She is still your white moonlight, your cinnabar mole..."

Sheng Hanyu realized it was bad; he had unintentionally poked a hornet's nest.

If this matter wasn't handled well, there would never be peace in this home again.

"It's not like that, wifey, listen to me explain..."

"Bang!"

He had just started when Sheng Zichen rushed in excitedly from outside: "Mom, Mom, I've invented a new flavor of ice cream, please try it!"
