Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1051: Step by Step, Beware (7)

The old Mrs. Xiao couldn’t help but secretly approve of Gu Nuan’s composure at this moment. Most women, if they didn’t have Gu Nuan’s level of magnanimity, would have grabbed onto the old lady’s words to attack her by now.

"In this house, it’s said that anyone with the surname Ruan doesn’t fare well living here, especially pregnant women."

After waiting a long time, the only thing the old lady managed to say was this sentence.

Gu Nuan was indeed surprised.

It’s said the old lady might be somewhat superstitious. Elderly people are often superstitious, and Gu Nuan understood this. But, the implication was that this matter was mentioned by the old crocodile Xiao Jianming.

What kind of person is Xiao Jianming? He doesn’t seem like someone who would engage in superstitious activities at all.

After thinking it over, Gu Nuan said, "I’ve never heard of such a thing."

"My son wouldn’t lie!" The old Mrs. Xiao insisted earnestly, with a bit of urgency, "He has no reason to lie about this matter."

Regarding the old lady’s assertion, Gu Nuan maintained her own opinion and said, "Whether he lied or not, this matter is superstitious, not scientific."

"What’s this talk of science or not?" The old Mrs. Xiao became more insistent, stamping her foot, "You young people don’t understand. Some things can’t be explained by science, but the old ancestral teachings are not wrong, those are based on experience. If you don’t listen to the ancestors, you’ll suffer a big loss."

"But neither my husband nor I are surnamed Ruan."

The old Mrs. Xiao suddenly choked.

Gu Nuan’s sharp gaze swept over the old lady’s face, and she could guess that the old lady was definitely not unaware of the previous disputes between her daughter-in-law and her son.

The old Mrs. Xiao knew; she knew her grandson was supposed to bear the surname Ruan. So after hearing her son’s words, she didn’t need to think much and immediately came here to try to stop them from moving in.

She even knew that the child in Gu Nuan’s belly was meant to be named Ruan.

So, don’t think that the elderly in the family pretending to be deaf and dumb are truly deaf-mute. The most astute ones are definitely those in the family who don’t say much but see everything and have their own plans.

Facing the cool breeze, Gu Nuan’s calm gaze, the old Mrs. Xiao noticed, made her heart chill as she undoubtedly thought of whether her grandson in the car had heard any of this.

Thus, the old Mrs. Xiao dared not continue arguing with Gu Nuan.

Arguing further would only mean admitting all about the surname Ruan and admitting her and her son’s ingratitude, violating the agreement with Ruan Ruzhen.

Seeing the old lady fall silent, Gu Nuan got back into the car, which drove through the gate. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

As for how long the old Mrs. Xiao would stay at the gate, Gu Nuan had no interest in finding out. Knowing that the old lady wasn’t foolish, and her purpose unfulfilled, she wouldn’t easily collapse at the gate.

Uncle Tang appeared more nervous; after looking around, he returned to the old lady’s side and helped her back into the car.

The old Mrs. Xiao asked him, "When did you return to the country?"

"Today."

"The house she had you clean?"

"Yes."

"What did the young master say?"

Uncle Tang naturally didn’t know much about Xiao Yebai’s situation and simply said, "The doctor advised the young master to rest more, therefore, the young mistress personally takes care of the young master, and I haven’t spoken much with the young master."

According to the old Mrs. Xiao’s understanding, Gu Nuan probably didn’t fully trust Uncle Tang.

Uncle Tang thought the same, saying, "I only found out about it a few days ago, that the deed to this house is in the young mistress’s hands."
