Chapter 34 Chapter 34 "Congratulations to Xia Xia for successfully completing the college entrance examination! ...
The night before the college entrance examination, Yao Yingxia packed her things and went to bed at nine o'clock. She thought she would be so anxious that she couldn't sleep, but she didn't expect to have a dreamless night until the alarm clock rang at seven o'clock in the morning.
This was the most peaceful sleep she had had in three years. When she woke up, she felt refreshed and in an unusually good mood.
The lineup that came to take her to the exam in the early morning was also very strong. Not only Xu Nian and Shen Qingyuan were there, but also all three Shen siblings were present.
Shen Suxi even wore a cheongsam and held a small fan with the words "Flag of Victory" written on it. Those who didn't know would have thought that Shen Qingyuan was going to take the college entrance examination.
Shen Suxi was encouraging her all the way, and it was not anyone else's turn to interrupt. It was not until Yao Yingxia entered the examination room that she found an opportunity to hug her mother. Xu Nian touched her head and said only one sentence: "Xia Xia, Mom is waiting for you here."
This was the most encouraging words for her at this moment.
Yao Yingxia has spared no effort to get to where she is today, all for her mother.
She nodded vigorously: "Mom, wait for me." Then she walked into the examination room without looking back.
Xu Nian was watching her daughter leave when a large umbrella suddenly opened above her head, blocking out the glaring sunlight. She turned around and saw that it was Shen Xingchuan. She heard him say, "It's hot, sister-in-law, be careful of heatstroke."
Xu Nian was very grateful for his thoughtfulness: "Thank you very much."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Qingyuan handed her another cup of mint lemon tea: "Auntie, drink this to clear away heat and relieve internal heat."
Shen Suxi followed closely and began to fan Xu Nian: "Sister-in-law, is there any wind?"
Xu Nian was stunned for a moment, thinking that her miscarriage was already known to everyone. But even if they knew that she had just had a miscarriage, there was no need for everyone to be so attentive to her, right?
Seeing that the three guards had surrounded Xu Nian tightly, Shen Changhe had to remind him, "The car has air conditioning, you can go up and wait."
Xu Nian originally wanted to wait here for Xia Xia to come out, but looking at the current situation, he felt embarrassed to trouble them to take such good care of him, so he finally went to the car.
These three days were really hard to endure, not because of the college entrance examination, but because the Shen family seemed to be very free and actually accompanied me throughout the exam.
It seemed that Shen Suxi was sulking with her brother, always saying some unpleasant things in a sarcastic way, and Shen Xingchuan fought back calmly, which made her so angry that she kept getting out of the car to smoke.
It was a rare occasion when Shen Suxi was not around, so Shen Qingyuan and Shen Xingchuan would occasionally have a "calm" chat, but it always sounded like there was something else behind their words, and the atmosphere was full of tension.
Although Xu Nian didn't know the reason, she was a little frightened when she heard it. This put her under great psychological pressure for a while, but it dispelled her worries about Xia Xia's college entrance examination.
Fortunately, no matter how hard it was, I finally waited until the last exam was over.
When he saw Yao Yingxia, Shen Xingchuan knew that she had probably performed well. The smile on her face was like a ray of light shining through the dark polar night, faint but bright, and he couldn't take his eyes off her.
Then she said to Xu Nian, "Mom, I want to throw away all the books in my room." Her tone was full of relief.
Xu Nian kept touching her head, as if treating her like a child: "Xia Xia, you have worked hard."
"Mom is the one who works the hardest." In the past three years, even though Xu Nian was rarely by her side, even though she always pretended to be relaxed in front of her, even though she seemed to be living a life of luxury, Yao Yingxia could vaguely feel that her mother was worried and she was not happy.
Hearing her say this, Xu Nian couldn't help but be stunned. After all, this was her Xia Xia. In the past, she was willing to endure again and again for her daughter, but now she should make plans for herself. She couldn't really give birth to a child for Shen Changhe and be trapped here for the rest of her life.
I also heard Yao Yingxia say to the young man beside her: "Thank you Qingyuan." Without his help, I would definitely not be able to be as successful as I am today.
Shen Qingyuan looked at her and smiled: "You're welcome."
Shen Suxi felt happy just watching from the side, and greeted everyone and said, "I have reserved a table at the restaurant, let's go have a meal together?"
She was worthy of being Shen Xingchuan's sister. Even their choice of restaurant had the same taste. Half an hour later, several of them were sitting in a Michelin three-star restaurant.
Chen Suxi clinked glasses with everyone and said, "Congratulations to Xia Xia on successfully completing the college entrance examination!"
Xu Nian and Yao Yingxia had juice in their glasses, while the others drank white wine. Shen Suxi noticed that her brother's glass seemed to contain only water, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "Brother, have you quit drinking?"
Shen Changhe smiled and said, "I'm preparing for pregnancy."
Shen Suxi: “???”
She almost asked on the spot, "Are you cured?", but since the children were there, she swallowed her words back.
Yao Yingxia looked at her mother in shock, and saw Xu Nian lowering her eyes in embarrassment, not daring to respond to her daughter's gaze.
Yao Yingxia suddenly held her mother's hand, and looked at Shen Changhe again: "Uncle Shen, it seems inappropriate for my mother to have another child at this age, and it will be very hard." Although Xu Niansheng was only twenty years old that year, she is thirty-eight now, and she seems to have some problems with her body. She has lost a lot of weight since returning from her hometown, and even if she takes supplements every day, there is no effect.
Shen Changhe didn't expect her to contradict him in public like this. He was extremely unhappy, but he remained calm and patiently explained, "I will ask the best medical team to take care of your mother and ensure that she won't have any problems during her pregnancy. There will also be someone to take care of the baby after it is born, and your mother will get enough rest."
He said it lightly, but Yao Yingxia knew the huge dangers faced by older mothers. Her neighbor aunt, who had been very kind to her when she was a child, became pregnant at the age of 40 and ended up having a massive hemorrhage, resulting in two deaths. However, her husband married a new wife just half a year later.
Yao Yingxia looked at Xu Nian again, her penetrating eyes revealing her true feelings. "Mom, is this what you meant?"
Xu Nian had no choice but to nod: "Yes." She smiled gently, "Your uncle Shen and I want a child of our own."
Then I heard Shen Changhe provocatively say: "Xia Xia wants a brother or a sister?"
But Yao Yingxia asked with some confusion: "Why didn't Uncle Shen have children before?"
This really touched a sore spot for him. Seeing Shen Changhe's face darken and he was extremely angry, Shen Xingchuan finally decided to shift the blame to someone else: "Little niece, don't worry too much. Big brother may not be able to give birth now."
Okay, okay, okay, this is the good brother he has loved since childhood. In order to help Yao Yingxia take the blame, he really can say anything.
Shen Changhe raised his eyes and looked at his brother: "Xiaochuan, it's time for you to find a serious girlfriend, so that people won't be rumored to be involved with high school girls."
Shen Xingchuan smiled and said, "That's better than getting tangled up with a high school boy."
Shen Suxi: “???”
She had been enjoying the excitement from the other side of the river, but she hadn't expected the fire to spread to her. The frustration she had been accumulating from her brother over the past few days suddenly erupted, and she immediately asked in a sharp voice, "Shen Xingchuan, what do you mean?"
Seeing her losing control, her younger brother kindly advised her, "Second sister, your temper has been getting worse lately. If Qingyuan finds a girlfriend, you'll be in trouble."
Xu Nian deeply agreed. If a girl has an emotionally unstable mother-in-law and is not strong enough, she will suffer a great loss.
Shen Suxi was almost suffocated by his anger. She drank the wine in the glass in one gulp before she could speak again: "Xiaochuan, I don't think Qingyuan's girlfriend is as irritating as you."
She looked at Yao Yingxia, her mood finally calming down a bit. She smiled at her brother again, "I heard you've been having a hot relationship with a female celebrity lately? If anything's going to happen, you can bring her home and show us."
The female star is the spokesperson for a brand under the Chuanhe Group. She was recently photographed having dinner with Shen Xingchuan and was sent home by him late at night.
Shen Xingchuan thought for a moment. "You mean VV? I guess you haven't been paying attention to the latest entertainment news. She just got married abroad with her girlfriend of many years."
Shen Suxi was stunned. She really didn't know this. Then she heard her brother laugh and retort: "Second sister is so lucky. The magazine said that you changed your boyfriend recently. This time he is a student from A University?"
Yao Yingxia took a deep breath. This was too shocking.
Shen Suxi's nails were about to break on the wooden dining table when she heard Shen Qingyuan, who had been silent the whole time, finally speak: "Mom."
This shout made her heart tremble, and she was a little afraid to respond to Shen Qingyuan's gaze, but her son just held her hand, saving her nails from danger: "As long as you are happy, don't worry about anyone else."
Shen Suxi was almost in tears. Her Qingyuan was such a gentle and kind child, completely different from her hateful brother.
The atmosphere at the table finally relaxed a little. Several people ate in silence for a while, and then heard Shen Suxi ask: "Xia Xia, do you have any plans for summer vacation? It's rare for you and Qingyuan to have such a long vacation. You can make plans to go out and play."
She had already made a plan: "I want to get a driver's license first."
Shen Qingyuan then said: "Then we can go together."
Xu Nian was curious: "Is Qingyuan eighteen years old?"
Chen Suxi replied: "It will be full in a dozen days. Qingyuan's birthday is June 25th."
Shen Qingyuan asked: "Yingxia, can you wait for me?"
Of course she refused disrespectfully: "Okay."
Shen Changhe found it funny when he saw that the fork in his brother's hand was bent. It was his fault for speaking so harshly just now. There must be someone to punish him.
Then Xu Nian said, "Xia Xia, how about going on a trip with Mom first? You've been so busy lately, it's time for you to have some fun."
Shen Xingchuan threw away the fork in his hand and put on his good-natured smile again: "Sister-in-law, do you need me to be your tour guide?"
Shen Qingyuan followed closely behind: "I can help you carry your luggage."
When Yao Yingxia heard them say this, she could already imagine what kind of embarrassing situation she would be in, so she immediately gave up the idea of going out with a group: "I want to go out alone with my mother."
But then Shen Changhe said, "Your mother still needs to prepare for pregnancy, so she can't work too hard."
After a detour, the topic returned to the beginning. Yao Yingxia looked at him across from her mother: "Uncle Shen, are you anxious?"
How could he not be anxious? After all, he was already 44 years old this year. By the time the child was born and grew up, he would be almost 70 years old.
In the battle for Xu Nian, although Yao Yingxia has the advantage of family ties, Shen Changhe has the advantage of time and place. As long as they stay in City A, Xu Nian will not dare to disobey his will.
Shen Changhe finally couldn't stand it anymore and decided to teach Yao Yingxia a lesson. He said pointedly, "Xia Xia, have you ever been in love? When you find someone you like, you will also want to have children for him."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his brother and nephew looking at Yao Yingxia, their eyes were scorching and determined, as if they wanted to tear her to pieces immediately.
Xu Nian saw her daughter suddenly become a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly said, "Xia Xia is still young, it's too early to say these things."
She paused, then encouraged her daughter, saying, "But mom still hopes you can meet a very good boy and have a good relationship." It's also good to date more than one boy, so that you can develop a keen eye and avoid being like her, who was unable to judge people when she was young and ended up with a scum like Yao Qihang.
Shen Xingchuan frowned slightly, feeling that he could not be considered a "boy" at all. Was his sister-in-law too strict in limiting Yao Yingxia's love partner?
Just as she was thinking about how to change her mindset, Shen Suxi's face was already full of smiles. She opened her phone and showed Xu Nian the edited video with only the second half remaining: "Sister-in-law, so you didn't know?"
Know what? Xu Nian took Shen Suxi's phone with a confused look on his face, and saw Shen Qingyuan in the video holding Xia Xia's hand. Everyone present heard the resounding words: "Yes, this is my girlfriend."
The handle of the glass in Shen Xingchuan's hand broke with a sound, shocking the waiter who was serving the food next to him and opening his mouth wide. He quickly took away the broken glass from his hand and replaced it with a new one.
This was a hellish Shura field. Yao Yingxia wished she could disappear right there. She had never expected Shen Suxi to have this video, let alone show it to Xu Nian right then and there. She felt a surge of heat rushing towards her, and her entire face turned red.
Shen Xingchuan saw that she looked like a young girl in love, and he felt a chill in his heart. Just as he was about to burst into a rage, he heard Xu Nian whisper, "But...but doesn't Qingyuan like boys?"
