Chapter 859: Wolves Cannot Be Kept as Pets
Shi Youxuan settled the wages for her on the spot and demanded she leave immediately.
"Madam, can I leave at daybreak tomorrow? It's too late now, and it's not safe for a woman to go out alone."
Shi Youxuan sneered: "Don't worry, I'll have someone send you home."
The wet nurse looked at Sheng Hanyu with a mournful gaze, but he didn't even spare her a glance from the corner of his eye.
Shi Youxuan grabbed Sheng Hanyu by the ear and hauled him up: "Come back with me. Why are you in the guest room in the middle of the night instead of returning to your own room? You think you're avoiding waking me, but others won't think that way; they'll think there's a chance to wedge themselves in."
He hurriedly explained: "Wife, listen to me, it has nothing to do with me; I've been wronged."
Shi Youxuan escorted her husband back to their room, not scolding him, but taking care of him personally!
And she lectured him: "Take this incident as a lesson. Next time you remember that no matter how late the social engagement is, you are not allowed to go anywhere else; come straight home, back to the bedroom."
"Mm, wife, you're so good."
Sheng Hanyu had originally been worried that his wife would misunderstand, but seeing that she really wasn't angry, a sense of guilt rose from the bottom of his heart.
He promised that he would never stay out late for social engagements again; no matter how important business was, it wasn't as important as his wife!
Shi Youxuan was truly not angry.
After many years as a married couple, she still had that much self-confidence.
There were too many women like that wet nurse who threw themselves at him just because they had a bit of beauty; her husband wouldn't even give her a second glance, and if she got jealous over everything, she wouldn't have time to do anything else.
The wet nurse left, and her mother-in-law blamed herself: "It's all my fault, I almost invited a wolf into the house."
"Mom, this can't be blamed on you; it's just that she hid it too well, even I was almost deceived."
Through this incident, Shi Youxuan decided to correct the twins' habits.
She tried to reason with the six-month-old babies: "Sheng Zirui, Sheng Zihan, you two listen up. Your wet nurse was dismissed by me last night. From now on, you will drink formula or eat solid food. If you don't eat, you'll go hungry."
Mother-in-law:...
So much for reasoning?
Solid food was fine; egg yolks, soft-boiled noodles, rice cereal, and the like—the two little ones could still eat some, but they were very resistant to formula and refused to drink it no matter what.
For the first few days, the two little ones cried until their voices were hoarse.
Eating little meant they lost weight quickly; in just two days, they were so thin their chins had become sharp.
Shi Youxuan felt very heartbroken, but if she looked for another wet nurse, what if another one like that came along?
At this time, Lady Qi obtained a folk remedy for lactation that was very effective and told her to try it.
It involved stewing pig's trotters with a type of fruit native to L Country; the milk-boosting effect was superb, and even someone who had stopped breastfeeding for days could have a continuous supply of milk again.
A lot of the fruit was sent over; she had someone deliver it by private plane.
Accompanying the private plane was also a square, upright box, which was a gift from Qi Heng to Shi Ran.
Shi Ran took the gift and hugged it into her room, and a moment later, she brought out another box from the room and handed it to the person who had come: "Uncle, please take this back."
Sheng Zichen was curious and wanted to know what Brother A Heng had given his sister, but his sister wouldn't let him see.
So he snuck into his sister's room, preparing to secretly open it and take a look, but he didn't succeed!
His sister was too vigilant; she grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out.
The fruit sent by Lady Qi worked exceptionally well, but the taste wasn't great.
However, for the sake of the children, this little difficulty could be overcome.
By the time the twins could roll over and crawl, the house expansion was finally completed.
There was a passageway on both sides, on every floor, so there was no need to run outside; one could go directly to the other side.
The wall in the middle of the courtyard was torn down, and the two small courtyards became one large courtyard. The ones happiest about this, besides the children, were Xiaobai.
Her activity area was even larger, and she ran and jumped around happily every day.
People in the residential complex didn't know that the Sheng Family was raising a wolf; they just thought it was a pure white Husky.
Her bark didn't sound like a wolf's howl either; Little White had grown up with dairy goats since she was little, so she had long thought she was a goat, and her cry was like this—"Baa!"
Today she was very happy, running and calling: "Baa!"
"My god, why is there a wolf in your house?"
A man wearing glasses, looking refined and gentle, passed by the courtyard, saw Xiaobai, and immediately stopped in his tracks, exclaiming.
Zhang Ma: "Don't talk nonsense, what we're raising is a dog; this is a Husky, not a wolf."
The man was also a serious person; not only did he not leave, but he stared at Xiaobai carefully: "That's not right. Although wolves and dogs are of the same lineage, there are still big differences. The teeth are different, and the tail and fur are also different..."
Xiaobai was intuitive; she stared at the man nervously, and when the man mentioned teeth, she naturally closed her mouth.
When he mentioned the tail, she immediately tucked her tail in, let her fur hang down naturally, and sat on the ground.
"Can she understand what I'm saying?" This person became even more interested in Xiaobai and stood in front of the courtyard, even less willing to leave.
"Xiaobai, go inside."
Zhang Ma was afraid the man would see through the clues, so she brought her into the house.
This man came for three days in a row, specifically for Xiaobai. Whenever anyone in the house saw him, they would hide Xiaobai and refuse to answer any of the man's questions.
They insisted it was a dog, not a wolf.
The man offered to pay a high price to buy Xiaobai, but Wang Yinghao refused: "Not for sale."
"I can pay more."
"What a joke, is our family short of money? I won't sell her for any amount."
Midnight.
"Aowu—"
Xiaobai's clear cry carried majesty, and immediately after, a commotion broke out in the courtyard.
"Oh my god!"
The man ran in front, and Xiaoxiaobai chased from behind!
A deep blue light flashed in her sky-blue eyes, completely different from how they looked during the day.
"Help!"
"Help!"
"Help!"
The man screamed in terror repeatedly.
When the family members went out, they saw the man squatting on the pavilion in the courtyard, shivering; he was clutching the pillar tightly, and his clothes and trousers were torn in many places, hanging down in strips.
But only his clothes were torn.
Xiaoxiaobai had shown mercy, only tearing his clothes without biting him.
"Awoo!"
Little Little White squatted on the ground, eyeing him like a tiger; her usual gentle and cute appearance was nowhere to be seen, and her demeanor was exactly the same as her mother Beautiful White's, like a king.
"You've come just in time, hurry and take it away, take it away." Seeing people, the man was not afraid; instead, he looked as if he had seen a savior.
"How did you get into my house? She cannot leave, and you cannot come down either; wait until the police arrive before you come down."
Shi Youxuan had called the police.
The residential area Security Guard arrived first, and the police followed shortly after.
Xiaoxiaobai was taken away, but not into the house; instead, she was secretly taken to the Villa in the suburbs to be hidden.
"Officer, I am not a thief, I am an animal research expert."
The man tremblingly slid down from the pavilion and handed over a business card!
The police didn't even look at it: "No matter what kind of expert you are, you cannot enter someone else's house in the middle of the night without permission; trespassing is considered theft, come with me to the police station for investigation."
"They have a wolf at their house, that wolf is a very precious and rare breed, our research institute is in need of such a breed..."
