Chapter 839: No One Is More Important Than You
Jian Yixin:...
This man could always grasp the main point; he knew Moli was the most important person to Jian Yixin, so he made her swear in her son's name.
If you have done nothing wrong, you need not fear a knock at the door.
But she still refused.
"No, I can swear on anyone's life except my son's."
She felt it was unlucky, but Sheng Hanyu mistook it for her having a guilty conscience.
"Jian Yixin, if you dare to do anything to my wife and children, I will kill you."
His large hand clamped onto her slender neck, and a fierce light shone in Sheng Hanyu's eyes.
"What are you doing? Let go, let go quickly." Sheng Zerong arrived in time, rescued his wife from his eldest brother's "clutches," and shielded her behind him.
"Cough, cough..."
She took deep breaths of fresh air, and her brain was able to think again.
She had almost been choked unconscious just now.
"Get out of the way, stop meddling in other people's business." Sheng Hanyu's gaze was like a torch.
"With me here, you cannot hurt a single hair on her head, otherwise I will fight you to the death!" Sheng Zerong assumed a posture of being ready to risk his life.
From childhood to adulthood, he had never been this firm in front of his eldest brother.
"Whether you are here or not, it makes no difference!" Sheng Hanyu would not change his mind just because his third brother blocked him; he was now convinced that his wife coming to the hospital was caused by Jian Yixin, and whoever stood in the way of his revenge was an enemy of him, Sheng Hanyu.
The two brothers looked like they were about to fight in the hospital.
A familiar voice came from behind Sheng Hanyu: "Stop."
Shi Youxuan arrived in time after being notified by the doctor.
"What are you doing? Why are you two fighting?" She was very surprised.
In all the years they had been married, she had never seen the brothers like this.
Sheng Zerong finally found his backbone and hurriedly complained: "Sister-in-law, save Yixin, Big Brother almost choked her to death just now!"
His eldest brother glared at him fiercely, blaming him for being a chatterbox.
He had to be a chatterbox; if he didn't explain the severity, Yixin would be in danger.
Shi Youxuan was both angry and helpless, and explained: "Don't wrong an innocent person. I was bored and went to check on Yixin's kindergarten, and my stomach started hurting as soon as I walked in. If they hadn't sent me to the hospital immediately, who knows what might have happened."
She didn't mention a word about Sheng Zerong coming to the house to invite her.
"Really?"
"Nonsense, why would I lie to you about something like this?"
He thought for a moment and finally chose to believe his wife's words.
The misunderstanding was cleared up, and both sides let go of their previous grudges.
Of course, there would be no apologies; in his entire life, Sheng Hanyu had never said "I'm sorry" to anyone except his wife.
The doctor suggested that Shi Youxuan stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time, as twins carry more risks than a single pregnancy.
Upon learning she was hospitalized, everyone came to visit.
Shi Yucheng and Shi Yuke came.
Shi Yuke was holding a thermal bucket, which contained soup personally brewed by Gu Zhihao.
"Little sister, my husband says pregnant women shouldn't take medicine, so I brought you pork rib and kelp soup. If you boost your immunity, you won't get sick." This was very heartwarming.
But a moment later, she tilted her head in confusion: "What on earth is immunity? Why does it need to be boosted?" Shi Yuke thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
"Don't pay attention to her, let's drink the soup."
Their father opened the lid of the thermal bucket, and the fresh aroma of pork ribs and kelp filled the room.
Shi Yucheng ladled a bowl and served it to his second daughter: "Drink it while it's hot; this kind of soup is the most nourishing. Taste it and see if you like it? If you do, I'll have your brother-in-law work hard and brew a pot every day."
Shi Youxuan took a sip of the soup; it was delicious, fragrant but not greasy.
The pork ribs were tender, and the kelp was soft and well-cooked.
"It's delicious, then I'll have to trouble brother-in-law." She didn't stand on ceremony at all and drank three full bowls before putting down her bowl and chopsticks.
"It's too good. It's a pity that brother-in-law has such skills but can only stay at home to cook," Shi Youxuan sighed.
Her father echoed: "Who says it isn't? To have such talent but be unable to display it because of a vow is indeed a pity, but..."
He brought the conversation back: "It's actually a good thing he can't open a restaurant. If Zhihao opened a restaurant, he would surely make a splash, and then women would definitely throw themselves at him. Our Yuke's position would be in danger."
Shi Youxuan:...
She was speechless at first, but then she thought her father's concerns made sense.
People are very complex creatures. Don't look at how honest Gu Zhihao is now; as his status and position change in the future, it would be normal for his thoughts to change as well.
Forget it, better not to bring it up.
Avoid creating extra complications.
Shi Youxuan's hospitalization to protect the pregnancy actually required quiet rest.
But from the second day she stayed in the hospital, there was never a moment of peace.
Everyone came to visit one after another, and since they were already there, you couldn't say you wouldn't see them.
Fortunately, Shi Youxuan liked the liveliness; having people to chat with was just right. If she were alone, she would probably be bored sick even if she weren't ill.
Sheng Hanyu's brows were almost knotted together; according to his wishes, he would drive them all away and not let a single person come to disturb her.
It was enough for his wife to have him by her side, and the two of them could have endless things to talk about.
Company employees, management cadres, and wealthy wives looking to curry favor with the Sheng Family—these people could be driven away, and there was no need to save face, because there was no relationship to speak of in the first place.
However, relatives like Shi Yucheng and his daughter, Wan'er, and Nianyin could not be refused.
They would stay in the Hospital Ward for half a day at a time, which greatly affected his wife's rest.
Jian Yining was mercilessly blocked outside and did not enter the Hospital Ward.
Sheng Hanyu stood guard at the door like a door god: "Men are forbidden from entering. My wife is resting for her pregnancy, what are you going in to see? You don't need to see her."
Jian Yining deliberately provoked him: "I am your wife's best friend, and now also her brother-in-law. Reasonably and emotionally, I should go in and see her. Besides, we have matters to discuss. Your presence is inconvenient, move aside."
He had perfectly fine things to say, but he just wouldn't say them properly.
The so-called "matters" were company business, but Shi Youxuan never concerned herself with company business at all; he was doing it on purpose, just enjoying the sight of Sheng Hanyu being unable to stand him yet unable to get rid of him.
"Get lost!" Sheng Hanyu squeezed the word out through his teeth, his eyes blazing with fire.
Even though he knew this guy was doing it on purpose, he was still very angry.
"Alright, I won't anger you anymore. I have something to discuss with you; let the sisters chat." Jian Yining grinned and put his arm around Sheng Hanyu's shoulder, but was ruthlessly shaken off: "Speak if you have something to say, don't try to get chummy."
Wan'er was laughing so hard her stomach hurt; she couldn't take it anymore, she couldn't hold it in, so she hurried into the Hospital Ward.
Even after entering, she still couldn't help but laugh, and she laughed out loud.
Shi Youxuan asked for the reason, so the two sisters whispered to each other, and the laughter in the Hospital Ward rose in waves, making Sheng Hanyu outside feel nervous and uneasy.
He was afraid his wife would get too excited and go into premature labor; the doctor had said she needed to keep her emotions stable.
But Jian Yining was pulling on him, making it impossible for him to enter the Hospital Ward—if you won't let me in, I won't let you in either; let's both just stand outside.
Sheng Hanyu had always thought he was only helpless when it came to his wife, that she was his only weakness.
In reality, there was also Jian Yining; he was helpless against him as well.
After finishing the jokes from outside, the sisters' conversation became much more substantial.
Wan'er had given birth to triplets and had experience, so she told her sister all of her experiences, which would be useful in the future!
