Chapter 835: Twins Are Both Boys

"Moli, come over and taste the ice cream your brother Zichen invented. Look at him, then look at you. You two are only a year apart, why is the gap so big?"

Her words were half-true and half-false.

Just yesterday, because of pointing fingers at Sheng Zichen, the two of them had been unhappy.

Today she had learned her lesson: belittle her own son and elevate her best friend's son to make her best friend feel good.

The praise was real, but the belittling of her own son was fake.

Unless one is oblivious, every mother in the world thinks her own child is the best, bar none!

Seeing through it without pointing it out, Shi Youxuan then returned the favor by praising Moli.

"Stop talking nonsense. I think our Moli is just fine—sensible and well-behaved. If you like Sheng Zichen, let's swap. Shall we swap?"

Jian Yixin: "No swapping! If you don't like him, you can send him over for me to raise. Our family has a large estate, and one more child would be perfect to keep Moli company. You have another one in your belly to deliver in a few months; your family isn't short on children."

Shi Youxuan:...

No matter how many children are in the family, one cannot give them away.

Lunch was eaten at Jian Yixin's house, and the two chatted for almost the entire afternoon after the meal; the matter of the children going to kindergarten was settled.

Moli would still go to the kindergarten where Sheng Zichen was.

Jian Yixin was six months pregnant.

Another prenatal check-up.

Before leaving, her mother-in-law instructed: "Ask if it's a boy or a girl; I'm preparing to buy things for the children."

Under normal circumstances, hospitals do not allow the gender of the fetus to be disclosed in advance.

But for the Sheng Family to want to know the gender of the fetus in advance was not a difficult task.

In fact, neither husband nor wife cared; they felt that boys and girls were the same and there was no need to know in advance.

But seeing that the elder was very concerned, she agreed: "Alright, Mom."

Hospital.

Examination room.

The doctor performed an ultrasound and told the two that the children were very healthy, that they were twins, and that they were boys.

Shi Youxuan was slightly disappointed: "All boys? It would be better if it were one boy and one girl. If they are all boys, won't they tear the roof off in a few years?"

Compared to his wife's disappointment, Sheng Hanyu was quite happy.

"Boys don't necessarily tear the roof off. Don't you remember? Ranran was naughtier than Zichen when she was little!"

She thought about it, and it really was the case.

When Shi Ran was little, she would climb trees to steal bird eggs, go into the river to catch fish, and even try to grab a crocodile.

With a fearless personality, she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't cause some trouble every few days.

But who would have thought that as she grew a little older, she would immediately become different, especially after returning to Jiangzhou; it was as if she had become a different person.

Now she is well-behaved and sensible, not at all like she was when she was little.

Strictly speaking, Sheng Zichen is not very naughty now either; it's just that the things he likes are different from other children.

Forget it, boy or girl, as long as the children are healthy, everything is fine.

Returning home, upon hearing that they were two boys, the reactions of the family members were also different.

Sheng Jiang was very happy; more children mean more blessings, after all.

Sheng Zichen was happy to have younger brothers to play with, and he teased his sister: "There are two little brothers in Mom's belly. From now on, there will be three boys in the family, and you are the only girl. How lonely."

Shi Ran: "I'm not lonely. They are my brothers too, and we can play together."

Sheng Zichen thought about it and felt his sister was right.

The mother-in-law was happy yet worried.

More children mean more blessings, that is true, but she was still worried that with many boys in the family, the phenomenon of fighting over property common in wealthy families would occur later.

Sheng Jiang knew what his wife was worried about, leaned close to her, and whispered: "Rest assured, they will educate the children well; that kind of thing won't happen in our family."

Wang Yinghao thought about it and realized he was right; she was worrying unnecessarily.

"Xuanxuan, go back and rest. Don't sit for too long; go back and lie down for a while."

Although she was only six months along, her belly was already very large, and it was uncomfortable to sit for too long.

"Alright."

She returned to her room, but her husband did not leave.

Sheng Hanyu said to his father: "Dad, I have something to ask you. Let's go to the Study to talk."

The father and son went to the Study.

"Dad, tell me about the process when you went to that health supplement store back then."

He wasn't just saying it casually; he even took out paper and a pen to prepare to record it, very formally.

Sheng Jiang was alert: "Son, has your company encountered difficulties?"

Sheng Hanyu:...

He was a bit baffled, but answered truthfully: "No."

"If there are difficulties, you must tell me. Don't hide it. Dad has lived to this age and sees everything clearly. Don't worry, I can hold up."

"I don't have much, but I still have tens of millions. I'll go ask your mother for it to be your working capital."

As he said this, he stood up, ready to go ask for the money.

"I really don't have any difficulties," Sheng Hanyu said concisely, but his gaze was firm.

Sheng Jiang felt there was no need for his son to lie, but he was puzzled: "We must not do anything illegal. Don't ruin the Sheng Family's reputation of many years because of a moment of greed..."

Sheng Hanyu:...

Why would Dad have such an idea?

He hadn't managed to ask anything, and had instead caused his father all sorts of worry.

If it were in the past, he would have impatiently left with a cold face, unwilling to explain.

What was there to explain to someone so stupid?

But not anymore.

Now he was willing to waste a little time on his father, treating him with the utmost patience.

"Dad, think carefully, is there any problem with their sales method?"

"There is a problem, of course there's a problem, they sell fake medicine to cheat people..." Sheng Jiang was very agitated.

His son reminded him: "Dad, I am asking about the sales method, not the product."

Sheng Jiang began to catch on.

He thought about it carefully, then said firmly: "There is no problem with the sales method."

It was indeed no problem; when he and Lady Jian bought the products, they didn't care about the products at all, they were just buying the service.

If the products had also been fine, they wouldn't know how much more money they would have spent on them later, and all of it willingly!

"That's right, I want to use their method to sell our products!"

Sheng Jiang suddenly saw the light.

So he explained everything he could think of in great detail to his son, and Sheng Hanyu listened very carefully and took notes very seriously.

After his father finished speaking, he asked: "Dad, why don't you go to the detention center yourself and bail out that original store manager?"

"Huh?"

Seeing his father didn't move, he explained: "It is most appropriate for you to go bail him out, returning good for evil; I have a use for this person."

His father objected again: "No, no, this is absolutely out of the question. That person is very good at talking, but his heart is not in the right place. If you use him, aren't you afraid he will repeat his old tricks and secretly sell fake medicine?"

"When the time comes, he will be using the name of our Sheng Family, and the person responsible when something goes wrong will be you, son."

"I don't agree, but I also know that once you decide on something, it's not easily changed. How about this: you change the legal representative to me, and if something happens, I'll take the fall for you." Sheng Jiang had a look of total commitment.

Sheng Hanyu was moved; when did his father change?

In the past, seeing him was like a mouse seeing a cat—timid, submissive, and selfish.

Now, he was willing to sacrifice himself to protect him.

He dared to take responsibility; this was what a father should be like.

He felt that long-lost fatherly love once again.

"Don't worry, Dad. I will have him work at the company but not as a manager; he will have no real power. I have investigated this person; he has a flexible mind and always has some strange and bizarre ideas."

"I will arrange for him to work in planning at the company; he only needs to provide ideas."
