Chapter 305: Chapter 305: A Child Does Not Despise an Ugly Mother (9)

However, it has become glaringly obvious what the Gu Family’s financial situation was like now that Gu Nuan’s mother had appeared. Such a family couldn’t possibly become in-laws with the Xiao Family, the wealthiest in the region.

"Yebai." Xiao Yebai’s grandmother was indeed the mother of a businessman—a cold-blooded old lady—and she turned her attention back to her grandson.

Xiao Yebai strolled up leisurely, his expression as casually indifferent as usual, "What is it, Grandma? You’ve already met her mother. What do you think of her?"

A group of Xiao Family members stared at his nonchalant face. How could he dare to ask the matriarch what she thought, looking so destitute?

Xiao Yebai’s grandmother covertly scanned the others. None of them could hold a candle to the composure of her grandson.

"Ahem," said the grandmother, "whether I think she’s good enough isn’t as significant as your father’s opinion. It’s his decision that matters, and I’ve already talked to her about it."

People around suddenly realized the old lady was as crafty as they come.

It seemed Xiao Yebai wasn’t swayed by his grandmother’s words at all and said, "I’ve introduced her to my father already. Just the other day, she and my dad worked together to catch a mole in the company."

What? Xiao Yebai’s grandmother was taken aback; she was indeed unaware of the happenings within the company.

If previously the drama was merely due to the women stirring trouble, now with Xiao Yebai’s statement, the men standing in the hall felt themselves on shaky ground.

The grandmother was clever, aware that her grandson was changing the subject, so she steered it back, "Are you certain she’s the only one you’ll marry?"

"I’ve already married her, Grandma. She is my wife."

"Do you know what kind of person she is? She actually claimed that you plan to give her half of the Xiao Family’s fortune!" The grandmother wouldn’t just believe anyone’s words, including Gu Nuan’s.

Upon hearing that, Mr. Big White immediately understood; his wife was joking with the old lady. How endearing his wife was, to be able to spin circles around his grandmother.

How could he not follow her lead? Mr. Big White was famously henpecked.

"Grandma—" Xiao Yebai slightly lifted the corners of his mouth, "Never mind half, I will give her the entire family fortune."

Ah?!

The faces of the Xiao Family members displayed their unabashed shock.

"What did you say?" The grandmother couldn’t believe her grandson would utter such nonsense.

Xiao Shuju finally saw her chance to intervene and, replacing the elder, scolded her brother: "Yebai, has she drugged you with some love potion? How could all of the Xiao Family’s assets possibly go to her?!"

"Isn’t the Xiao Family’s fortune meant to be passed on to a son? She’s already carrying my child. I mean, if not to her—my child, then to whom shall I give it?"

The ace up one’s sleeve should naturally be played at this moment.

The Xiao Family members looked as if they had been hit by a blast, their faces filled with dead silence.

Xiao Shuju was in a panic, "You’re saying she climbed into your bed?!"

"What? We’re married," Xiao Yebai gave his third sister a disdainful look, "Don’t you share a bed with your husband?"

"No, I mean—"

"In any case, we are legally married, and naturally, after getting married, we’ve consummated it. She’s surely carrying the most legitimate heir of the Xiao Family."

His grandmother knew he was right. She was fully aware of this fact. Moreover, the most important thing was her grandson’s aversion to women. So she had been somewhat worried that if they forced a woman on her grandson, it wasn’t certain whether they could produce an heir.

Now, it was totally possible to let the woman first give birth to the important heir.

The old lady’s intentions were clear, despite her silence, sending a chill down the spines of the rest of the Xiao Family.

The glances of the Xiao sisters all fell upon their brother, the family’s disgrace.

Xiao Yebai had gone all out this time, planning to give away their share of the inheritance to a destitute woman. Even Xiao Shuzhu, who claimed to have no vested interest with Xiao Yebai, couldn’t help but think this.

How could this be tolerated?

Xiao Shulan cleared her throat and suggested, "Why don’t we call a doctor to check on her?"

They had just gotten married not long ago, hadn’t they? If a doctor were to examine Gu Nuan and find some medical issue, rendering her incapable of carrying a child—

Xiao Yebai’s grandmother lifted her head to look at Xiao Shulan.

This second daughter was truly more intelligent and malicious than the third.

Seeing the grandmother’s gaze on her, Xiao Shulan knew the elder must be hesitating and immediately struck while the iron was hot, "Our Xiao Family has Mingxin Hospital, right? We can ask a doctor from there—"

"Second sister is absolutely right," Xiao Yebai suddenly interrupted Xiao Shulan.

Everyone was shocked once more and looked at him.

"Grandma." Xiao Yebai smiled at the old lady, "She’s my wife, and I treasure the child in her stomach the most because he is your precious great-grandson. Therefore, I will definitely hire the best doctor in the world to take care of her and the child, right?"

"This is—of course," said Xiao Yebai’s grandmother, each word carefully pronounced, making her meanings abundantly clear in front of the whole family.

Nobody was to lay a finger on her great-grandson!

Once again, a chill passed through the hearts of the Xiao sisters.
