Chapter 848: This Woman Is Not Simple

Rong Huaying came to find Shi Youxuan, and with a hint of shyness, stated her purpose: "Mrs. Sheng, I have a presumptuous request, and I would like to ask you to agree to it."

"Go ahead."

"I would like to be transferred to your side to take care of you and the two young masters..."

Shi Youxuan did not agree immediately, but instead asked with a smile, "Why do you want to be transferred to my side?" If her husband hadn't given her a heads-up beforehand, she might have agreed right away.

"You know, I have two children to raise and the financial burden is too heavy, so I want to earn a little more money," Rong Huaying said.

This reason was impeccable and very easy to move people.

She said calmly, "I forgot to tell you, I deposited fifty thousand yuan into your card; it is a reward for saving me and compensation for your injury. In addition, the manager here will also give you a bonus, and your salary will also increase by one thousand yuan per month because of this incident."

"Look, your financial problem is solved. Are you happy?"

Shi Youxuan smiled charmingly.

"H-happy." Although she said she was happy, Rong Huaying's smile was very forced.

She left.

Not long after, she returned. This time she put down a paper package, and as she opened it layer by layer, it contained fifty thousand yuan.

"What are you doing?"

Rong Huaying smiled shyly: "Mrs. Sheng, although I am a poor person, I cannot accept such a large reward from you just because I accidentally saved your life..."

Shi Youxuan: "It's not much. My life is surely worth more than fifty thousand, isn't it? Do you think it's too little? If you think it's too little, I can add more. You name a number."

"No, no, I don't think it's too little."

She waved her hands repeatedly and refused: "I don't want your money, I just want a stable job..."

Shi Youxuan interrupted her again: "You are quite stable right here. This postpartum care center has a very good reputation, and the boss is a good person too. I will talk to the boss and have them take care of you. Work hard and you will have a bright future!"

"If you have any financial difficulties in the future, you can come to me. You saved my life, and I will not forget it."

"Um, then... thank you!"

Before she came, she had actually prepared a belly full of words, but now they were all completely blocked by Shi Youxuan, and not a single one could be used.

The dinner at the postpartum care center was very sumptuous: peanut and pig trotter soup, millet and papaya porridge, motherwort and wood ear mushroom, liver-nourishing soup, egg custard pudding, braised chicken legs, and stir-fried green vegetables.

The caregiver's meal was simpler, with only three dishes and one soup.

On the basis of the braised chicken legs and stir-fried green vegetables, a tomato and egg drop soup and stir-fried meat were added.

"So fragrant, let me have a taste."

Her chopsticks reached toward the stir-fried meat—only to grab nothing!

The plate was taken away by her husband, his face full of vigilance: "What are you doing?"

"Hey, don't be so stingy. Let me eat one bite, just one small bite, okay? I'm too greedy," she said, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

Shi Youxuan liked to eat spicy food and also liked seafood.

But in the postpartum care center, these were basically forbidden. If she couldn't see them, she could endure it, but the stir-fried meat had already been brought in front of her and she wasn't allowed to eat it; it was very cruel.

"Then just one small bite?"

"Mm-hmm."

So her husband fed her a bite. It was truly fragrant!

The spicy, fresh, and fragrant flavor filled her mouth, stimulating every taste bud, and then she spat it out.

She took a water glass to rinse her mouth, spat out the rinse water, and instructed her husband: "I can't eat it, so you aren't allowed to eat it either. Take it out."

Sheng Hanyu:...

Fine, she would get used to it.

The couple chatted while they ate.

"If Zichen were home, he would definitely be clamoring to find a master and learn skills again," Shi Youxuan laughed.

She missed her son. Even though Sheng Zichen often made her angry when he was at home, when he wasn't home, she often wondered if he was doing well at his great-grandparents' house.

Would he be homesick?

After all, the child was still young, and they were too heartless to dump Zichen abroad.

Speak of the devil.

Sheng Zichen made a video call. Her son's chubby little face appeared on the screen, and Shi Youxuan's tears almost fell.

"Son, do you miss Mom?"

If Sheng Zichen said "I miss Mom very much" or "I want to go home" right now, she would immediately have someone bring the child back.

As it turned out, the little guy shook his head like a rattle-drum: "I don't miss you, I don't. I'm staying with Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma very well. You two be good, don't worry about me."

Shi Youxuan:...

She thought to herself, is this still my son?

Sheng Zichen was not as independent as his sister. He had never left their side since he was little, and the whole family was very worried when he suddenly went away.

They were worried that he wouldn't adapt in A Country, that he would cry and make a fuss and suffer from homesickness...

But looking at it now, it seemed they were all wrong.

The little guy was living very comfortably; his originally chubby little face was now even rounder.

She chided her son for having no conscience.

Sheng Zichen acted like a spoiled child: "Mom, actually I miss you very much, and Grandpa, Grandma, and Sister, Grandpa, Aunt and Xi Fu, Uncle and Aunt, Moli, Zhang Ma, Fang Jie, and Xiaobai and the milk goat..."

Except for Dad, he recited everyone.

He even mentioned the family pets, but left out Dad.

How annoying could he be?

"Sheng Zichen, I'll give you one chance to say it again." He snatched the phone, his eyes almost spitting fire.

Sheng Zichen was emboldened and fearless: "I miss Mommy, Grandpa, Grandma, big sister, Grandpa, Auntie, and Xi Fu, Uncle, Aunt, and Moli, I also miss Zhang Ma, Fang Jie, Auntie Li, Xiaoxiaobai, the milk goat, the kindergarten teacher, Wangyimeng, Zhanghanyi, Shizecheng, Zhaomingming..."

This second "miss" was more specific; he had mentioned just about everyone he knew, yet still, there was no mention of Daddy.

It was intentional, done on purpose to anger him.

Sheng Hanyu did not lose his temper, but unexpectedly smiled; he said to his son unhurriedly: "I forgot to tell you, in a couple of days, Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma will bring you home."

"Daddy, I miss you."

The little guy reacted quite quickly, but it was already too late.

Flattery was no longer effective now; he said to his son: "We'll talk when you get back!"

The person Sheng Hanyu had sent out to investigate returned to report: "I'm sorry, Chairman, I followed her for a week, but I was shaken off every time."

"Understood, you may go."

The people under Sheng Hanyu were former soldiers with professional investigative skills; if even they could be shaken off, it meant this woman was no ordinary person.

Continuing the investigation would only lead to more problems.

All of Rong Huaying's information at the postpartum care center was fake.

That piece of glass that fell earlier had also been tampered with; this woman definitely had issues.

He said to his wife: "We must go home early; from now on, we cannot let that woman have any more contact with you, it's too dangerous."

The couple now both suspected that the woman surnamed Rong was connected to Zhu Yiwen; could she be the woman who wrote the diary?

Sheng Hanyu said: "I have told Ji Yingjie about this matter and let her handle it."

Shi Youxuan: "You are usually quite steady in your actions, why were you so rash this time? Have you thought about it? If Rong Huaying really is that woman, once my aunt comes over, she will lose her life."

She felt her husband's actions were inappropriate, even heartless.

Rong Huaying wanted to get close to her, but they just needed to be on guard; as long as they took proper precautions, she and the children would not be in danger.

Moreover, there was currently no evidence to suggest that the woman intended to harm her and her children.

She believed the best method was to give Rong Huaying a sum of money and then dismiss her!

Her husband believed she was soft-hearted and that this wouldn't work; there is no such thing as a thousand days of being a thief, but there is no such thing as a thousand days of guarding against a thief.
