Chapter 874: Equivalent Exchange

Sheng Aifei shouted and then ran out.

"Look at this, how could a child with no upbringing and no mother's teaching listen to you? Mrs. Sheng, I'm not just thinking about my own child; I'm truly doing this for your own good."

Shi Youxuan smiled: "Mm, I know you mean well, thank you."

"How about this? The children don't actually spend much time in kindergarten anyway. When it's time for elementary school, if you are willing, you can come to Elite Elementary School."

"Really? You have a way?"

Mrs. Jin's eyes lit up.

Everyone knew that Elite was the best school in Jiangzhou; if she could get her child into Elite Elementary School, that would of course be the best thing.

Now, this infuriating matter might not be so infuriating after all...

Shi Youxuan: "Tomorrow morning at nine, bring the child's household registration book, three two-inch ID photos of the child, and one one-inch ID photo each of you and your husband to the school to register, and you'll know if it's true."

"Okay, we'll go tomorrow. Of course it's true. If you say it's true, it must be true. How could I not believe you?" Although she didn't know what connection Elite Elementary School had with Shi Youxuan.

But Mrs. Sheng had the ability; that point was beyond doubt.

A matter that could have caused a huge uproar was resolved just like that, easily.

Of course, the medical expenses still had to be paid, but Mrs. Jin would no longer harp on about having Sheng Aifei expelled!

Shi Youxuan told Xiao Fei: "You can go to school as usual tomorrow; this matter is resolved."

"Thank you." He whispered his thanks, his voice as small as a mosquito's hum.

Sheng Aifei had never thanked anyone before; it was just as hard to say as an apology.

"Whether you thank me or not isn't important, but I promised someone else that you wouldn't fight with other children again, and you will do it, right?"

"Mm."

He nodded heavily.

Although Sheng Aifei was young, he kept his word; he would definitely do what he promised others.

From that day on, he really never fought with the other children again.

Moreover, he no longer held such deep hostility toward Shi Youxuan.

He was willing to be near her; even on the way to and from school, when Sheng Zichen would chatter about interesting things from kindergarten, he would occasionally chime in with a few words.

Whenever this happened, Shi Youxuan would encourage him, taking the initiative to ask a few questions to make him speak more, and his personality gradually became more cheerful.

Sheng Aifei's birthday arrived.

Shi Youxuan ordered a large cake with the words written on it: Happy 5th Birthday to Xiao Fei! The signature was: Your loving family.

The birthday banquet was held at home, and it wasn't just the family; they also invited Jian Yixin's family of three over.

Moli was about the same age as them, and the three boys were easy to play together; it was also to let him have one more friend.

Having so many people celebrate his birthday was a treatment Sheng Aifei had never enjoyed before.

Everyone had gifts for him.

When everyone gave their gifts, they would say a blessing; the blessings were beautiful, the attitudes were sincere, and he could feel it!

"Thank you."

"Thank you."

"Thank you."

Saying thank you was no longer so difficult; it turned out that being polite was also a kind of happiness.

It was the first time he had received so many gifts, feeling the care and love from everyone.

And these changes only began after the aunt accepted him; he also wanted to give the aunt a gift, but he didn't know if she would be willing to accept it.

The three children were playing happily in the courtyard, and Shi Youxuan and Jian Yixin stood by the window watching them play.

Jian Yixin quietly gave a thumbs up: "Xuanxuan, I really admire you; your heart is so broad. You can actually be so good to your husband's 'illegitimate child'; I thought you would fight to the end!"

Shi Youxuan feigned anger: "Who are you scolding?"

"Hey, why are you so unappreciative? I was clearly praising you, okay?"

"Hmph! Don't think I'm a three-year-old child who's easy to fool. Are you praising me? Whether you're praising me or insulting me, I can still tell."

"Right, not bad, not completely stupid, you heard it."

Shi Youxuan: "Although Xiao Fei isn't my biological child, he isn't my husband's biological child either, which is why I can have patience with him and be willing to be good to him."

"If he really were my husband's illegitimate child, do you think I could be so selfless? Don't pin the big hat of a saint on me; I can't be that great."

Yafei didn't even count as a romantic rival; Hanyu had never loved her. All he felt for Yafei was guilt, so what was there that couldn't be forgiven?

Jian Yixin gave a thumbs up again, this time sincerely.

Shi Youxuan didn't look that meticulous on the surface, but in fact, she was the truly smart woman.

The twins' first birthday banquet.

There were many children in the family, so they didn't go to a hotel; they just invited relatives and friends to have a meal at home, and the "grabbing the first-year items" ceremony was considered complete.

The Jian family's elderly couple, plus Jian Yining's family of five, and Jian Yixin's family of three.

Yun Zhehao's family of four.

The Shi family's family of four.

With the Sheng family's own members, there were nearly thirty lively people, setting up three large tables.

After the meal, the "grabbing" ceremony began.

The large table was filled with a dazzling array of various items: books, a computer, toys, dice, a Hallucinogenic Pen, an abacus...

Both new and old items used for the ceremony were laid out.

The nanny brought the twins over and placed them in the center of the table.

Although the two children were twins, their personalities were not the same; Sheng Zirui never had a minute of rest and liked to move.

Sheng Zihan is very quiet and usually easy to look after.

The two children were placed in the middle of the table, and Sheng Zirui took a fancy to the golden abacus not far away at a glance, so he started to crawl... the adults all around were very quiet.

Everyone didn't even dare to breathe loudly, all eyes fixed on him to see what he would finally grab.

At a time like this, one cannot disturb him.

Small children are easily distracted, and if he just grabs something random later, it wouldn't be good.

He slowly crawled forward, and then grabbed the golden abacus in his hand.

"That's great, my good grandson, a good child of the Sheng Family..." Sheng Jiang wiped away tears in excitement.

The family is in business, and grabbing the abacus signifies that he will inherit the family business in the future.

Looking at Sheng Zihan again, the little guy was sitting steadily on the table, not moving at all!

Five minutes passed.

He was still sitting there, not moving a single bit.

He was just focused on gnawing on his own fingers, as if all these things on the table had nothing to do with him.

"Grab it, look, isn't this fun?" Since the child wouldn't grab anything himself, the adults could only guide him.

Wang Yinghao snatched the golden abacus from Sheng Zirui's hand to tease her little grandson.

The twins are always together, and Sheng Zirui has often snatched things from Zihan; now that she helped him snatch it back, the older one wasn't having it, and with a "waa," he cried miserably.

The younger one remained unmoved and uninterested.

So the golden abacus was returned to Zirui, and the older one instantly stopped crying, hugging the abacus and clattering it loudly.

Zihan finally started to move.

He looked left and right; on his left was an exquisite pen case containing a Parker fountain pen.

"Want!"

He reached out his hand and shouted it out directly.

Shi Youxuan was amused and exasperated: "Take it yourself, how lazy have you become? Are you not even willing to move a little?"
