Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1045: Each Step Fraught with Danger (1)

Gu Nuan let Tang Uncle and his son return to the country first. Since Tang Uncle was quite familiar with the house, she took the opportunity to entrust him with finding someone to clean it.

The Ruan Family house had been vacant for a long time, and it was bound to be dusty inside. Finding enough people to clean it would probably take at least two or three days at the quickest. Tang Uncle didn’t dare to delay; while he was still in Luxembourg, he had already arranged for someone to start the cleaning work. Meanwhile, he was quite surprised, as he never expected that the house would actually end up in Gu Nuan’s hands.

Speaking of which, whether or not the house was in Gu Nuan’s hands, Xiao Jianming seemed to have had some suspicions before. Compared to Xiao Jianming, Tang Uncle previously definitely didn’t believe that Gu Nuan had the capability to acquire the Ruan Family house.

How strange it is that this house ended up in Gu Nuan’s hands.

Could it be that Ruan Ruzhen had foreseen who her daughter-in-law would be before she died, and had arranged to leave the house to Gu Nuan?

Tang Uncle found it odd, but his son Tang Shaohong didn’t think so.

"Dad, no matter what, in this life, I only acknowledge Young Madam as the owner. If you end up siding with Chairman Xiao and want to go against Young Madam, I can only help her."

Tang Uncle glared at his son: "Don’t forget whose grace our family owes for where we are today."

"Are you talking about repaying kindness, Dad? The problem is, Young Madam is carrying the future heir of the Xiao Family now, right? I’m helping the future of the Xiao Family, and that’s not wrong." Tang Shaohong confidently laid his cards on the table with his father.

Tang Uncle almost suspected if his son had just been brainwashed by Gu Nuan.

After all, now that they knew the house was in Gu Nuan’s hands, it couldn’t be guaranteed that the old lady and Xiao Jianming wouldn’t have some opinions on it.

When the time comes, it’s hard to say if there will be any further conflicts between both sides.

Tang Shaohong had indeed given his old man a heads-up, but it wasn’t Gu Nuan who taught him this—it was simply his desire to support Gu Nuan that made him think this way.

Knowing that the Tang father and son had already drawn their lines before setting off, Zhong Qiaohui later said to Gu Nuan: "I know you have a good eye for people, but I didn’t expect it to be this good."

Zhong Qiaohui had previously thought that Tang Uncle’s son seemed like an idle loafer, always flattering his superiors with slick words, not looking like a decent person at first glance.

Of course, Tang Shaohong was somewhat clever, but isn’t it true that such sly people are usually less trustworthy?

Looking at him now, Tang Shaohong seems to have decent character and doesn’t intend to betray Gu Nuan.

Gu Nuan said, "Because he’s smart. If he weren’t smart enough, I wouldn’t dare to use him."

Truly intelligent people make the wisest judgments at the right time; they don’t crave momentary short-term gains and definitely aren’t cowardly, changing decisions at the first sign of trouble.

Zhong Qiaohui gave her a wink, "Could it be that your foresight is now even better than your father-in-law’s?"

"I wouldn’t claim that," Gu Nuan responded quickly.

Zhong Qiaohui giggled, "Your husband says you’re the most virtuous wife in the world. I said it, didn’t I? There’s no one like you when it comes to being a daughter-in-law; even when your father-in-law treats you like this, you still know your place."

Gu Nuan didn’t expect that Da Bai would say such things to her best friend.

"What, your husband praises you, and you didn’t know?"

No, she did expect it. That big white dog—if one day his words weren’t sweet as honey, it would probably be him who couldn’t stand it first.

"This time—" Zhong Qiaohui pondered for her, "when you go back, how will you face your father-in-law?"
