Chapter 1478: He Is My Son (51)

When s.h.i.+ Nianyao heard this, her legs nearly gave way and she almost fell.

She straightened her posture at once as she looked down at them from halfway up the stairs. s.h.i.+ Xun was looking at Si Jingyu with a puzzled expression and asking, “Mom, what’s the matter?”

Si Jingyu replied, “I have no idea where I placed our household registration booklet. I need to get a visa tomorrow and will need the household registration booklet for that.”

s.h.i.+ Xun shook his head and said, “We keep separate household registration booklets, how would I know where you might have placed yours?”

Si Jingyu was mystified. “That’s strange. I was quite sure I placed ours in the study. Why has it disappeared?”

s.h.i.+ Xun immediately said, “Mom, you must remember wrong.”

“Not possible. I saw it there a few times.”

s.h.i.+ Xun was puzzled too now and continued, “Where could it have gone?”

Si Jingyu sighed and said, “Nevermind then. Since you’re not sure, I’ll look for it.”

He nodded.

Upon hearing this, s.h.i.+ Nianyao instantly dashed up the stairs and ran into her own bedroom. Frantically, she started to pace in circles.

She had taken it to register her marriage and after that had forgotten to put it back in its original location. Now her mother had discovered it was gone and she was stuck. What was she going to do?

As she was panicking, she heard a knock on her door. She almost jumped in fright. With a trembling voice, she called out, “Who- who’s that?”

“It’s your Mom. Yao Yao, have you seen our household registration booklet?”

s.h.i.+ Nianyao: …!

Immediately, she replied, “No I haven’t!”

Si Jingyu was stumped. “Really? You haven’t seen it at all?”

“I really haven’t seen it!”

“Alright then, if you see it, let me know.”

s.h.i.+ Nianyao sighed with relief and said, “Ok. Mom, you’ve had a long flight and you must be tired. You should go to bed now.”

“Ok.”

She finally relaxed when she heard Si Jingyu’s footsteps fade away. Patting her chest to calm herself, she sat on the bed. She had to think of a way to return the household registration booklet to its original spot without anyone noticing.

After Si Jingyu finished asking around about the doc.u.ment, she went back into her own bedroom.

s.h.i.+ Jinyan was just walking out of the bathroom in his pajamas after a shower. When he saw Si Jingyu, he asked, “What’s the matter?”

The woman sighed and said, “What do you think about what we discussed today?”

s.h.i.+ Jinyan smirked frostily and said, “First, Mo Zhi called Nianyao an ugly monster and now he does this. It’s too much. If it weren’t for Mo Xicheng getting there in time, and foiling Mo Zhi’s plans, what would be of our Yao Yao now?”

Upon hearing this, Si Jingyu nodded. She frowned and said, “Tomorrow I’ll arrange to have a chat with Li Shu.”

s.h.i.+ Jinyan nodded and added, “You can tell her that if she fails to educate her son, then I will do it. But if I were the one doing it, the education fees would be very costly for them.”

Si Jingyu replied, “Ok, I know.”

–

The next day, at Hongkou Cafe.

Li Shu was already waiting there when Si Jingyu turned up. She had already drank half her cup of coffee.

Si Jingyu walked over as Li Shu stood up to greet her friend. The latter had a complex expression on her face as she said, “You’re here.”

Si Jingyu nodded and said, “I think you know what Mo Zhi has done. Li Shu, since things have come to this, do you not intend to step in and do something about it? You have always been an upright person, but look at you now.”
