Chapter 338: Chapter 338: Don’t Underestimate the Old Man (5)

Ou Chunhua suddenly understood; the Xiao Family had driven out even their own son just to hasten the departure of this new daughter-in-law. If Xiao Jianming were ruthless enough to make his son completely give up hope, he should have tampered with the inheritance to force an abdication.

The Xiao Family’s wealth might not necessarily fall into the hands of their only son. In that case, that woman should not dream of becoming a wealthy lady through this opportunity.

Ou Chunhua narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "But you mentioned this vixen is indeed very impressive—to even entangle with the son of the richest man."

"Yes, we all doubt what means she has used." At this point, Xiao Shuju suddenly had an idea to clear herself of the earlier mistake she made as a matchmaker, saying, "Speaking of the lady from your maternal family, she was actually this vixen’s classmate and was also completely fooled by this vixen. It really wasn’t your maternal cousin who did anything wrong; it was all the vixen’s doing."

This statement seemed to find a reason for their shared indignation. Ou Chunhua feigned surprise and said, "Although I have never met this niece of mine, I’ve heard of her. They say she’s a college student who got into postgraduate studies on her own capabilities and she has good popularity among students at the school too."

"Indeed. That’s why my second sister and I found her quite agreeable, but alas, she fell into someone else’s trap." Xiao Shuju said, regretting deeply, as she had tried to contest it.

Ou Chunhua lowered her voice, "Given this, such a woman cannot be tolerated. Even if you cut off your family young master’s financial source, I fear she won’t just let it go and will think about enduring it, always hoping for a break in the clouds—"

"You’re right. My brother already said she’s pregnant with his child. What should we do?"

"Is that even a question?" Ou Chunhua slightly pursed her lips, giving Xiao Shuju an encouraging smile, "No matter what, the Chairman, even if disappointed in his son, will pin his hopes on his grandchild. You must root out the problem!"

Xiao Shuju shuddered at her words, almost shouting aloud, "Exactly!"

Even though Xiao Yebai was driven away, who could guarantee that the child in Gu Nuan’s womb wouldn’t be taken back by Xiao Jianming and Grandmother Xiao and raised directly as the heir!

You must root out the problem!

Grandmother Xiao’s birthday banquet proceeded as originally planned. However, with everyone aware that Xiao Yebai was no longer present, the enthusiasm for the party was lacking. The elderly lady, also distressed by today’s sudden events and her grandson’s unannounced departure, ended the party rather abruptly.

Essentially, after everyone had finished Grandmother Xiao’s birthday banquet, they all went their separate ways.

The guests seemed to know something but also seemed oblivious to everything.

Zhong Qiaohui and Li Changzhi sat in the car going back with Chen Jiaming, their expressions having noticeably changed.

Li Changzhi, looking at Zhong Qiaohui sitting opposite him, scoffed sarcastically, "I told you so, but you didn’t believe it. How could the Xiao Family truly accept a sour vegetable?"

Everyone saw Xiao Jianming returning, but Xiao Yebai did not bring Gu Nuan with him, indicating that Xiao Jianming had not accepted his daughter-in-law.

The dream of rising from a lowly position to a phoenix turned out to be merely an illusion.

Zhong Qiaohui was utterly baffled.

Back then, she chose Changda, not simply because she was persuaded by Chen Jiaming, but because her grandfather had spoken highly of Xiao Jianming’s character. Having been in business for several years, she knew very well that working for a good-natured company leader versus a scum was completely different.

Xiao Jianming was such an enlightened leader, capable of guiding such a company to be among the top five hundred in the world, yet so short-sighted and conservative regarding his son’s choice of marriage?
