Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1054: The Approaching Enemy (Part 1)

They were all long-standing employees who had made outstanding contributions to Changda and Xiao Jianming over the years. For someone like Xiao Jianming, who came from a military background and valued loyalty, it was impossible not to see them.

The group, following a sequential order, entered Xiao Jianming’s bedroom for a private conversation.

Zhao Mengqing, therefore, went to another room to draw with his sister. While drawing, he raised his eyebrows at his sister: "Does Grandpa have many friends?"

Children don’t understand the complexities of the adult world. In a child’s world, people are either friends or enemies.

Zhao Mengjin bent down and said to her brother, "If you feel bored here today, how about I take you out?"

"Go out?" Zhao Mengqing immediately got excited.

Kids love to play. Although he is quite obedient, staying cooped up in this house every day without going out must be terribly dull. He must wish he could spread his wings and fly out of the cage like a little bird.

"Sister," Zhao Mengqing whispered to his sister, "Grandpa and Grandma don’t like to play. It’s not as fun here as it is at our home."

While speaking, the little guy stuck out his tongue.

Zhao Mengjin laughed and patted her brother’s little melon-shaped head. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

At the time, Little Pudding didn’t know where his sister would take him. Anyway, as long as he could leave, he was happy enough.

So Zhao Mengjin went to report to Grandma Xiao.

Grandma Xiao was alone drinking morning tea while pondering.

Uncle Tang stood beside her, whispering to her about the people who had entered Xiao Jianming’s room. This wasn’t to leak Xiao Jianming’s secrets, purely to reassure Grandma Xiao and give her peace of mind.

Zhao Mengjin walked into Grandma Xiao’s room.

Grandma nodded at her: "Sit down."

Zhao Mengjin didn’t sit down but stood, saying, "I want to take my brother out today."

"Where to?"

"Young Master Ou is back in the country and seems to have had an accident, so he’s in the hospital. After hearing about it from President Ou, I want to visit him in the hospital. Coincidentally, Qingqing quite likes him, so I’m taking Qingqing along."

Grandma Xiao didn’t object after hearing this. However, since she was unaware of the formal meeting between her and the Ou Family, she asked, "When did this start?"

"Some time ago, accompanied by my aunt, I was invited by the Ou Family and had a meal with them," Zhao Mengjin said, feeling there was no need to hide this from Grandma.

"Oh—" Grandma Xiao squinted, seemingly thinking: This Gu Nuan finally did something right, didn’t she?

This marriage with the Ou Family is something many yearn for but can’t get; in the end, it falls into Zhao Mengjin’s lap, which is a great fortune. It’s just a pity that the second child in the family, who has long coveted this, didn’t get it. One can only say this marriage is destined.

While thinking this, Grandma Xiao had no idea that the outcome was guided by how Xiao Shumei and Xiao Shulan did as mothers from early on.

"Alright. You take your brother." Grandma Xiao, being smart, quickly understood Zhao Mengjin’s intention. After all, if the two families become in-laws in the future, familiarity is inevitable, and bringing Zhao Mengqing over as an early greeting to show sincerity is a good strategy.

Grandma Xiao soon also thought: "Whenever there’s time or opportunity, invite President Ou and his wife to our home."

Zhao Mengjin didn’t respond.
