Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Creating Discord (8)

"Second sister, no. They don’t have a place for me to sleep here; they asked me to sleep on the couch. — What? You’re telling me to sleep on the couch tonight?!"

Was the third child really coming to them to complain with good intentions?

Xiao Yebai and Gu Nuan figured, without even needing their toes to think, that this was highly unlikely.

Back in his room, the big white dog picked up the hypnotic comic book again.

Gu Nuan felt her hair was not completely dry and went to look for a hairdryer to blow it dry.

On her way, she had no choice but to head down to the living room again. Grandma Zhou, due to the clutter in her room, had things somewhat disorganized. The poor old lady had a bad memory and didn’t even know where she had placed her stuff.

Gu Nuan remembered, it seemed that she had seen the old lady rest the hairdryer on a flower stand in the living room that afternoon.

While making a call, the third child suddenly heard footsteps, turned his head sharply, and startled when he saw Gu Nuan, then relaxed and said into the phone, "It’s fine, she can’t hear."

Gu Nuan heard her clearly, with no expression on her face.

Xiao Shuju continued speaking to the person on the other end, "Well, second sister, I must find a place to sleep tonight anyway. I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep here; I’ll continue to keep an eye on them tomorrow, and stick to them like glue."

Did they really not see through such obvious tricks, thinking of the third child as genuinely foolish to be manipulated like this?

However, thinking of this woman planning to stick to her like the big white dog, Gu Nuan frowned slightly, somewhat unable to accept it.

"Hey, sister-in-law," Xiao Shuju ended the call, turned around, and put on a smile, greeting Gu Nuan as if she truly wanted to get close to her.

Thus, before Gu Nuan could get the hairdryer, the third child had pulled her down to sit on the sofa.

Xiao Shuju took out paper and a pen from her pocket, clearly prepared, and began speaking and writing to Gu Nuan, "Sister-in-law, to be frank, do you know why my brother brought you here?"

"He didn’t say," Gu Nuan said.

"Yebai didn’t say?" Xiao Shuju’s eyes perked up momentarily as if the answer hit the bullseye, saying, "He looks too embarrassed to tell you, of course, it’s not the kind of thing one easily brings up."

Gu Nuan quietly waited for her to continue.

Xiao Shuju said, "Actually, it’s like this. The village wants to sell land. But, as you know, you’re not the daughter-in-law my father prefers. However, that doesn’t matter, I think, more importantly, Yebai likes you, right?"

Gu Nuan did not react.

Xiao Shuju, fearing she hadn’t heard, diligently wrote on the blank paper and drew pictures, worried she wouldn’t understand.

Gu Nuan thought, it’s not common to see someone so desperate for money.

Was this third sister really that greedy for money?

"Anyway," Xiao Family’s third child quickly summed up for her, "if Yebai doesn’t divorce you and marry this Miss Yang from the Yang Family, there really will be no money for him in the future, do you understand? Clinging to him won’t help."

Gu Nuan’s eyes slightly lifted, as if she understood, and said, "You mean, Yebai will end up like your husband, bankrupt."

"What?!" Xiao Shuju was startled by her words, "When did my husband go bankrupt?"

"Don’t you know, third sister? Isn’t it that every time you call, your husband doesn’t pick up, and you think he’s just mad at you? But he never ignores your calls, does he? So, there must be some problem. Your husband is a man who prioritizes business highly. What do you think could be the reason that made him not pick up your calls?"
