Chapter 26 The Female Supporting Character in the Control Group—Half a Matchmaker is on the Way

Shen Yu is considered to have gotten married early among people of the same age. In less than a year, he already has a child. How can he not be the envy of others!

After showing concern for her daughter-in-law, Shen's mother immediately posted on her WeChat Moments to brag to her group of girlfriends.

Nine photos were posted, only one of which was of her grandson. The rest were photos of Shen Yu and Yao Yao together, a solo photo of Yao Yao, and a photo of Shen's mother and Ji's mother together. The caption read: "Thank you for your hard work, my beautiful and sensible daughter-in-law! Thank you to my mother-in-law for being willing to marry her daughter into our family! After ten months of pregnancy, the baby was born today. Mother and child are safe and sound. Let me introduce you, this is my grandson, Shen Heyan."

Shortly after the post was published, a string of congratulations and likes appeared below.

Looking at the baby in Ji's arms, Madam Shen liked it more and more: "Little Heyan really inherited all the good qualities. Look at those eyebrows and eyes, they are just like Yaoyao's!"

As if she had met a kindred spirit, Ji's mother smiled and agreed, "That's right, I think so too, and that nose, it's just like Yaoyao's!"

Mother Shen nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."

Standing to the side, Shen Yu was speechless. It turned out that this little child didn't resemble him at all. Shen Yu then looked at the still-growing child in his mother-in-law's arms. In any case, he couldn't see any resemblance.

Shen Heyan is a very sensible child. When he was in his mother's belly, he rarely made a fuss. Now that he is out of the world, he only cries a few times when he is hungry or needs to pee. Otherwise, he sleeps quietly.

Ji's mother also said that the child had come to repay a debt of gratitude.

Looking at the sleeping baby in her arms, Yao Yao felt a pang of sadness. In the storyline described by the system, the original owner's child was also named Shen Heyan. She couldn't understand how the original owner could be so heartless as to abandon this child. According to the system's description, Shen Heyan was the perfect child from a young age—intelligent, studious, sensible, gentle, polite, and always at the top of his class.

Because of his family background, Shen Heyan had never experienced love. So when he saw the female lead's happy family and cheerful personality, he was deeply attracted and silently stayed by her side, even though she didn't like him.

Just thinking about how lonely the little one looked in her arms made Yaoyao so sad she almost cried, her eyes red and swollen.

"Oh dear, Yaoyao, what's wrong? You can't cry during your postpartum period!" Shen Yu went out to answer the phone, and Shen's mother was the first to notice Yaoyao's unusual behavior.

Although they hired the best postpartum nanny and stayed in the most luxurious postpartum care center, Shen's mother was still worried and came to check on him every day. Shen Yu even moved into the postpartum care center and worked there almost every day unless he had an unavoidable meeting. No matter how Yao Yao tried to persuade him, he wouldn't listen.

Yao Yao tried to control her emotions, raised her hand to wipe her eyes: "Mom, I...I'm fine, I don't know why I wanted to cry."

Mother Shen put down the tonics she had brought, walked quickly to Yaoyao's bedside, gently patted Yaoyao's back, and said kindly, "Don't cry, don't cry. Do you miss your mother? Your mother-in-law should be on the plane right now. After you finish your confinement and the baby is a little older, I'll have Shen Yu accompany you back to Shanghai. If Shen Yu doesn't have time, Mom will go back with you."

"Thank you, Mom!" Yao Yao leaned her head on her mother's shoulder and thanked her obediently. She was really grateful to her understanding mother-in-law.

As soon as Shen Yu finished his call and entered the house, he saw his wife and mother hugging each other. He quickly asked, "Mom, Yaoyao, what happened?"

Upon hearing Shen Yu's voice, Shen's mother was furious and immediately berated him: "What kind of husband are you? You ran off without considering your wife's feelings. Do you have no conscience at all?"

Shen Yu: "..."

Yao Yao quickly explained, "Mom, it has nothing to do with Chen Yu, it's just that I'm in a bad mood."

Chen's mother didn't care about all that: "It's his problem if you're in a bad mood. As your husband, it's his fault if he didn't notice your emotional changes in time during this special period!"

Yao Yao felt that the person in front of her was not her mother-in-law, but more like her own mother.

Shen Yu understood the whole story from their conversation and readily admitted his mistake: "It was my fault, Mom. I will correct it in time."

Only then did Mother Shen let Shen Yu go: "That's more like it."

After Shen's mother left, Shen Yu finally had a chance to ask Yao Yao about what had happened before. Yao Yao only said that she felt a little sad because of Ji's parents' departure. Shen Yu immediately said that he would find time to take her back to Shanghai as soon as possible after her postpartum period. Yao Yao immediately seemed very happy.

Time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, it's time for baby Shen Heyan's 100-day celebration.

The Shen family held a grand banquet, inviting relatives, friends, and business partners to celebrate the birth of their little baby.

On that day, Yao Yao dressed very formally, wearing the latest cheongsam with diamonds. The golden phoenix on her chest was lifelike, and the tassels on her shoulders were made of small diamonds. Around her neck was a rare gemstone necklace worth 80 million yuan, which her mother had bought at a high price. She exuded an aura of wealth and charm.

Not only did Ji's parents arrive in the capital ahead of time, but Shi Dan and Yao Yao's cousin's family also came. Ji Xingzhi, who was on summer vacation, also came early to play with his nephew.

From Ji Xingzhi, Yaoyao also heard some gossip: Ji Xingzhi's PE teacher is pursuing Yuan Wenya! If this works out, Yaoyao can be considered a matchmaker.

It turns out that during Yaoyao's postpartum period, Ji Xingzhi took advantage of a morning when he didn't have class and went to visit his nephew. When he left, he left his schoolbag in the postpartum room. Shen Yu wasn't there at the time either. Yaoyao was planning to call a delivery person to bring it over, but Yuan Wenya happened to be visiting Yaoyao. When she heard this, she said that she was passing by and could just bring it over.

Yao Yao gave Yuan Wenya's WeChat to Ji Xingzhi, and the two added each other on WeChat. Since Imperial University is not open to outsiders, Yuan Wenya drove her car to a parking space, got out of the car, and walked to the campus gate to wait.

Ji Xingzhi hadn't arrived yet, and explained in a WeChat message that the teacher had gone overtime. Yuan Wenya said it was fine.

Yuan Wenya's aloof and refined demeanor was outstanding; she attracted the attention of passersby simply by standing there. When some people took the opportunity to approach her and offer to help, Yuan Wenya coldly refused them all.

Among those who were rejected was Ji Xingzhi's physical education teacher. Some left disappointed, while others fell in love at first sight and didn't want to give up. The physical education teacher belonged to the latter group.

Ji Xingzhi didn't linger for long. As soon as get out of class ended, he rushed to the school gate. Without even needing to use WeChat, Ji Xingzhi recognized Yuan Wenya because he recognized his own backpack.

"Sister Wenya, I...I'm Ji Xingzhi. Thank you for bringing it to me." Ji Xingzhi was a little out of breath from running so fast.

Looking at the face in front of her that resembled her friend's, Yuan Wenya smiled gently on her cold face: "No need to be polite, I'm just going that way. Okay, I'm going back now. Xingzhi, you can go back to class."

Ji Xingzhi: "Okay, thank you, Sister Wenya, goodbye."

After Yuan Wenya left, Ji Xingzhi was immediately intercepted by his physical education teacher.
