Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1119: The True Origins (2)
"Did Lao Liu say that?" Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow.
"Last time he came back from outside, he was acting strange. According to my tarot cards, he met that person."
Zhang Sanfeng had a gifted sixth sense; no one could deceive him.
Faced with Zhang Sanfeng’s sharp analysis, Xiao Yebai still didn’t speak.
Zhang Sanfeng’s sharp gaze swept over his silent face.
Old Madam Xiao was upstairs. After checking on the pregnant woman, she looked a bit worried because she’d heard Gu Nuan might have fallen down the stairs just now.
It seemed like those strange rumors about the curse on this house affecting the Ruan Family were true. The knot in Old Madam Xiao’s heart grew larger. She took an opportunity to suggest to her son, "Do we need to find more ways to prevent this?"
It seemed persuading Gu Nuan and the others to move out of this big house was impossible.
After today’s events, Xiao Jianming had also thought things through and shook his head. "You can’t prevent everything; destiny can’t be avoided."
Old Madam Xiao sighed, "I need to talk to Yebai. I want to move in here to keep an eye on her."
Would Yebai agree to that?
Xiao Yebai certainly didn’t want the old lady to move in and create more chaos. What’s more, with her advanced age, if anything happened, Yebai wouldn’t be able to handle both issues.
He persuaded her to go back first and talk about it after the New Year.
Even as she got into the car, the old lady was still muttering. Xiao Shuju lingered at the back as if she had something to say to her brother.
Helping to close the car door for his father and grandmother, Xiao Yebai turned back and glanced at the face of silly old San.
Xiao Shuju noticed the sharp look her brother shot over and barely managed to squeeze out a smile, which eventually gave way to a more relaxed expression.
"Yebai, take good care of your wife and child," Xiao Shuju said.
"Are you going back to the company after New Year, Third Sister?" Xiao Yebai asked casually, with a hand in his pocket.
"Yes," Xiao Shuju said with conviction.
"Good," Xiao Yebai said, not another word more.
Xiao Shuju paused for a moment, then quickly realized the meaning behind his words, and this time she truly smiled, her mouth curved as she said, "I don’t have Eldest Sister’s poise, or Second Sister’s ambition, or Fourth Sister’s cleverness. I just have my self-assumed foolish stubbornness. But now I understand that in this world, one must achieve something."
"Whatever you think is right, Third Sister. No one can stop you from doing it."
"Right, just like you, Xiao Yebai." Xiao Shuju shrugged.
Being part of the Xiao Family, with the same parental genes, essentially meant that the four sisters and their brother shared the same stubborn nature; once a decision was made, no one could pull them back.
Xiao Yebai helped her open the door to another car, and Xiao Shuju got in.
After the Xiao Family’s car left, Zhan Dapeng drove up with Zhang Sanfeng. The car stopped beside Xiao Yebai, and Zhan Dapeng rolled down the window and said, "Second Brother, call us if you need anything. We’re not heading home yet, always ready."
Xiao Yebai slapped their car door, "Go find some women to date. Don’t come here to bother me and my wife. We want to enjoy our world as a couple."
Zhan Dapeng was torn between laughing and crying.
Zhang Sanfeng’s expression inside the car was obscured in the darkness.
In the villa, everyone who should have left was gone. Xiao Yebai walked back upstairs, thinking that he could finally enjoy a happy couple’s world with his wife. Yet, upon entering his wife’s room, he saw someone standing there who hadn’t left.
