Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1097: About to Meet (7)

Xiao Yebai disappeared; if it was because Gu Nuan harmed him, that’s clearly impossible. Everyone in the Xiao Family could sense Gu Nuan’s feelings towards Xiao Yebai. She has Xiao Yebai’s child in her belly; as the child’s mother, how could she bear to harm the child’s father?

Thinking it over, only one possibility remains—something happened to Xiao Yebai.

But it was clearly said that Xiao Yebai had safely returned home. What’s going on?

They’re afraid they’ll only be able to find out the truth when they go to Gu Nuan’s for New Year’s Eve dinner.

As a result, the elderly lady’s heart started to pound.

Time flies; a day passed in the blink of an eye.

The elderly lady and Xiao Shuju were both dressed in grand attire.

Recently not going out at all, Xiao Jianming also had Uncle Tang help him shave his hair and beard, at least dressing up to look clean and tidy. Then, the three walked out the door and got in the car heading to the Ruan Family’s villa.

This trip back brought complex emotions to the three people—both excitement and a bit of gloom.

On the way, Xiao Shuju complained about the fourth sibling, Xiao Shuzhu, saying: "I call but she doesn’t answer; what is it? Not even a ’Happy New Year’? Ever since she married into the foreign country, she seems to have forgotten the New Year’s customs of our people. It’s so embarrassing."

The elderly lady and Xiao Jianming, who were in the same car, didn’t comment on her words.

They did hear some news though. It seems that overseas, the fourth sibling’s family, Zhu Minxuan, has been busy preparing to acquire some company.

As their car approached the gates of the Ruan Family’s villa, they suddenly saw a police car seemingly driving out of the villa, which startled the elderly lady and Xiao Shuju.

Only Xiao Jianming was able to keep calm, knowing what’s going on.

Uncle Tang substituted for Xiao Jianming to explain: "Previously, the young mistress had some entanglement with that swindler Rogers when in Luxembourg. The police came to ask the young mistress about those circumstances."

"What, was the younger sister-in-law also deceived by that swindler?" Xiao Shuju asked in shock.

After Rogers was officially arrested, the news spread overseas, causing widespread shock. Reflected in the recent stock market, it’s been like a roller coaster, already dropping for several days.

Uncle Tang said: "The young mistress wasn’t deceived; it seems she almost encountered Rogers’ kidnapping attempt."

"Why?"

"Because when the young mistress arrived there, she immediately saw through that he was a swindler."

The truth was finally revealed. Xiao Shuju trusted Gu Nuan’s intelligence, and thus nodded: "Well done; the younger sister-in-law did a great job, like Sun Wukong."

Speaking of Sun Wukong, they suddenly thought that Gu Nuan’s child was sure to be born like a little Sun Wukong, born in the Year of the Monkey.

The elderly lady had a hint of a smile on her face. It’s said that children born in the Year of the Monkey are the smartest.

What a design by Gu Nuan and Xiao Yebai.

Xiao Shuju asked her father and grandmother: "Have you thought of a name for Yebai’s child?"

To this, Xiao Jianming didn’t comment. However, the elderly lady couldn’t wait: "When it comes to names, I’ve consulted many people and thought of many. I’ve written them down on paper; when the time comes, depending on what time the child is born, Yebai can use it as a reference."

Fully prepared, the elderly lady was confident that the grandson would definitely choose one of the names she prepared for the child.

Xiao Shuju looked at Xiao Jianming, but Xiao Jianming still remained silent.

The car drove through the large gates.

The three of them got out of the car, together with Uncle Tang, and walked into the former home.

The elderly lady entered the house and noticed that the expensive furnishings from before were all gone, but it didn’t seem lonely or deserted. Xiao Shuju felt equally surprised. When she came here yesterday, it indeed felt empty, like nothing was there.
