Chapter 865: Seeking Justice for My Daughter

"I don't care. I just know my son's life is in danger right now, yet his father is still considering the self-esteem of someone else's child. Sheng Hanyu, you are not fit to be a father."

"Zichen, Ranran, let's go."

Shi Youxuan was truly furious this time; no one's persuasion worked.

She took the children back to her maiden home. This time, her parents-in-law did not use their old methods to follow her; they also felt they had failed their daughter-in-law, and that their son had indeed acted wrongly in this matter.

The Shi Family.

Shi Yucheng was startled when he saw them: "What is this about?"

Both the adult and the children had tear tracks on their faces, something that had never happened before.

"Dad, I want to bring the children back to stay for a few days. Is it convenient?"

"Convenient, of course it's convenient. In your own home, you can stay whenever you want; it's very convenient."

Shi Yucheng hurriedly had someone tidy up the rooms. Shi Youxuan's room was ready-made and cleaned every day, but she rarely stayed there.

The house suddenly had four more children, making it incredibly lively.

Seeing his sister-in-law return to stay, Gu Zhihao did not dare to ask too much, but instead went to the kitchen to prepare delicious food.

Sheng Zichen happily followed him to the kitchen.

After the twins were asleep, Shi Yucheng found a free moment to ask his daughter: "What happened? Did you have a fight with Hanyu?"

"Yes."

She answered faintly.

"Don't worry, there's no couple that doesn't have their tongues bump against their teeth. I'm just scaring him; there's nothing serious between us." She said it lightly, preferring to let her father think she was unreasonable and willful rather than letting him worry that she had been wronged.

Now she regretted bringing the children back a little.

Her father was worried about her; if he found out the truth, his blood pressure would likely rise again. But not telling him was unrealistic, so she could only downplay the severity.

"Look into my eyes and tell me what exactly happened?"

Shi Yucheng was not easy to fool.

"It's nothing major. It's just that Zichen likes the kitchen, and the father and son had a conflict because of it. I got angry and brought the children out to let him cool off for a few days."

"Is that really it? You aren't lying to me, are you?" He was half-doubting.

"It's true, Dad. How could I lie to you? If it were anything else, I wouldn't have brought the children back, so as not to worry you." Shi Youxuan acted spoiled to coax him.

Her father said at the time: "If that's the case, then good. I'm even happier that you've come back to stay. Let him cool off for a few more days, don't rush back. It's just right to keep me company at home."

But as soon as he turned around and went out, he called for Shi Liu and instructed: "Go and ask your Qige to find out what exactly happened at the Sheng Family. You are not allowed to hide anything from me; I want the truth."

Shi Liu went out and returned two hours later.

"Godfather, something big happened at the Sheng Family. The Chairman brought back an illegitimate child. This afternoon, he fought with Zichen because of this illegitimate child, and he almost choked him to death."

"Then the Chairman even made Zichen apologize to that illegitimate child... Godfather, Godfather, don't get excited..."

Shi Yucheng's blood pressure soared, and he almost fainted from anger.

Shi Liu brought warm water and blood pressure medication, urging him to take it. After a long while, Shi Yucheng's complexion gradually stabilized.

"Godfather, should we go to the hospital?"

"No need. I know my own body; I'll be fine after sitting for a while."

After another while, his complexion finally returned to normal.

Early the next morning.

Shi Yucheng arrived at the Sheng Family just as the sky was brightening.

"In-law is here, come in quickly." Sheng Jiang's complexion was also not very good, and there were red blood streaks in his eyes; it was clear he hadn't rested well at night.

"Where is Sheng Hanyu?"

"He doesn't live here; he's next door."

"In-law, come in first. Let's go inside and talk."

"No need, I have a few words to ask him."

Shi Yucheng refused the invitation and turned to walk toward the neighboring Villa.

Since his daughter had been wronged, even if he had to risk his old life, he would get justice for her.

"They aren't there. I kicked them out last night. I was planning to go with my wife to pick up Xuanxuan and the others in a while. It's good that you've come; come in and let's talk."

Since Sheng Hanyu wasn't there, there was no point in going over, so he followed Sheng Jiang into the living room.

With several children missing, the house had become cold and desolate, lacking any interest.

Wang Yinghao personally poured tea and served water. The three sat down as host and guests. Shi Yucheng didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "What exactly is going on with that illegitimate child? I want a perfect explanation."

Wang Yinghao didn't hide anything either and recounted the matter from beginning to end.

Shi Yucheng's expression softened slightly: "So, that child was not born to Sheng Hanyu and that woman?"

"No, in-law, I can swear on my son's life, it really isn't." Wang Yinghao said.

Sheng Jiang: "That child's appearance and personality are not like Hanyu's at all. It is one hundred percent not his child. Xuanxuan knows about this."

Shi Yucheng: "Why should a child born to someone else have the surname Sheng? And why is it called Aifei? Why doesn't he call it Empress?"

His son-in-law brought back an unknown child, and his daughter had actually been in a cold war for half a month before moving out.

Xuanxuan had been wronged, and today he must help his daughter get this grievance back.

"What is your plan as the elders? Do you want them to divorce or to continue living well?"

Sheng Jiang: "Of course we want them to live well."

Wang Yinghao: "Yes, yes. For so many years, Xuanxuan and I have gotten along like mother and daughter. If it weren't for this child coming in, our family would still be fine and nothing would have happened."

Shi Yucheng waved his hand: "Alright, don't tell me these superficial words. Although our family's conditions are not as good as yours, we can still provide shelter for Xuanxuan and the children."

"You tell Sheng Hanyu to make a choice: either send that child away, or divorce Xuanxuan!"

After saying this, he stood up and left, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Ring, ring—"

Sheng Hanyu received a call from his mother at the company: "Mom, what is it?"

"Come down to the coffee shop downstairs, I am waiting for you here."

The coffee shop.

Sheng Hanyu arrived and asked curiously: "Mom, what is it that couldn't be said over the phone and had to be said in person?"

"Your father-in-law came to the house and gave you an ultimatum: either get a divorce, or send that child away immediately."

He did not make a sound, stirring the coffee in his cup with a spoon.

"Does Xuanxuan know?" He understood his wife; this matter could not possibly be the intention of Shi Youxuan.

If she thought this way, she would tell him directly, rather than expressing it through someone else.

"Son, have you lost your mind? At a time like this, you still care whether Xuanxuan knows or not? That is not important; what is important is that the child has already turned your lives into a mess."

"Send the child away; you cannot let your own family fall apart because of a child who has nothing to do with you. Your father didn't sleep all night yesterday; he stood by the window all night long."

"Mom, you should go back; I have arrangements for this matter."

"What arrangements do you have?"

"Don't worry about it, just go back."

In the end, Wang Yinghao returned without success.
