Chapter 460: Chapter 460 Mother and Child (1)

Everyone in the office was startled.

Xiao Shuju’s face was seething with an aggressive demeanor, even more confrontational than Princess Iron Fan facing the Bull Demon King. The crowd watched in stunned silence.

Lin Jiale finally snapped out of it and waved for the others to leave first.

After the crowd receded like a tide, Lin Jiale asked, "What happened to you? Weren’t you supposed to be on a business trip?"

"Me, on a business trip? Luckily I wasn’t, or who knows how you would have squandered our assets!"

To accuse him of squandering? Lin Jiale’s face suddenly darkened, "Are you out of your mind? Who’s been feeding you these crazy pills?"

"I’m asking you!" Xiao Shuju threw her handbag onto his couch with a thud, her manner accusatorial, "Just clarify this for me! Where did you invest my money?"

"What money?"

"My dowry!"

Lin Jiale smirked coldly, "Your dowry? How much is that? Is it worth getting so upset over? Do you spend less here on bags and clothes?"

"I want to settle this account with you right now! Tell me, did you take my money and spend it on Yishan? You can spoil her, but keep it within limits. Don’t think I don’t know. Are you infertile?!"

Finally, all the yelling burst out.

The two faced each other. Seeing that he said nothing, her face expressionless and eyes grim, Xiao Shuju suddenly understood something, "You knew before we got married. That’s why you chose me—"

Heartbroken, the sour taste of pain surged in the heart of Xiao Family’s third daughter at that instant. She really was foolish, just as foolish as her family said she was.

Considering his charm, what woman couldn’t he have? Even if he were a divorced man, if he really wanted children, he’d likely marry someone young. Why bother choosing her, an older woman? Initially, she thought he was only after Xiao Family’s money, but it was much more than that.

He had calculated it all, securing the fact that he was infertile, so eventually, whatever he got from her would definitely go to his descendants and not hers.

"Ha!" Xiao Shuju burst out laughing, then slumped onto the sofa, sitting there dazed as if she had really become a fool.

Lin Jiale glanced at her exaggerated expression, opened the office door, and walked out on his own.

The secretary stood at the door, waiting for his orders.

Lin Jiale said, "The madam has been misled by someone’s malicious words, and she’s distressed. It must be that person who said it."

The secretary clearly did not understand him.

Lin Jiale beckoned the person next door, continuing, "Who else knows so much about my daughter, if not the woman targeting her?"

That daughter was his only heir; in the future, all his property would belong to her. Naturally, her enemy was his enemy, and he must eradicate them completely.

The secretary understood his words, realizing he intended to take action.

Moreover, if he were to act, he would probably gain the silent support of everyone, especially that man.

In the blink of an eye, it was their second night staying in the little village.

In the evening, Grandma Zhou handed over the house to the two tenants, saying she needed to go out for a while and might not return until the next morning.

With the elderly lady gone, Gu Nuan and her husband cleaned the house together—washing windows, mopping floors, watering plants. Busy and sweating profusely, they felt incredibly content, the phrase "Labor is the most glorious" coming to mind.
