Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1143: Betrayal and Loyalty (8)

The old lady seemed to ignore the twitch on Gu Mom’s face, directly pulling her hand into the room, saying, "Is Yebai with his wife?"

"Yes."

"My grandson is a good husband."

On this point, Gu Mom is 100% satisfied with Dabai as a son-in-law, giving him full marks. But, this has nothing to do with the Xiao Family, right?

The old lady followed her plan and said, "Actually, my grandson is indeed good, but there’s one flaw. He’s too self-righteous, always disregarding the obvious things."

What’s that supposed to mean? Gu Mom listened dumbfounded as the old lady spoke like a storybook narration.

The old lady said, "This house, when Yebai’s mother was giving birth to him, something happened here that you might not have heard of."

Gu Mom listened word by word until she finally understood—the house was rumored to be a cursed place for pregnant women.

"Isn’t this superstition?" Gu Mom did not believe in superstitions.

"How can you call it superstition?" The old lady flung Gu Mom’s hand aside, getting aggressive. "Their kids are messing around, are you going to mess around with them?"

Gu Mom was crying and laughing inside: Who is the one messing around?

If it weren’t for the fact that the old lady was so old, not wanting to offend her in-laws, Gu Mom would have barked back: You’re the one messing around!

At the door, the car picking up Gu Dad arrived.

Gu Dad got off the car hurriedly, shouting as he saw Gu Mom, "How is it?"

The old lady turned her head and, seeing Gu Dad, sensed another opportunity coming.

While Gu Mom was explaining the situation to Gu Dad, the old lady immediately pulled Gu Dad over and said, "This matter, your wife can’t decide, you are a man, you must make the decision!"

"What?" Gu Dad was startled by the old lady, thinking his daughter must be having a complication, wondering whether to save the child or the mother.

Gu Mom looked on speechlessly.

The old lady then seriously repeated what she just told Gu Mom.

Gu Dad, just getting off the car, was short of breath, catching only snippets, and kept asking, "What are you saying? I can’t hear you clearly, say it again."

The old lady was rendered speechless.

She, as an old lady, isn’t mute yet, is this Gu Dad turning into a deaf person? His ears aren’t working well.

The old lady felt stifled in her chest, looking for a place to sit down.

They say the Gu Family people are all good folks, indeed they are, but at the same time, a bunch of idiots. The old lady thought to herself.

Xiao Shuju on the side did not interject. After all, she already thought the old lady’s plan was risky and absurd from the start, unlikely to be accepted.

But regarding whether or not this house was really a cursed place, each of her sisters had their own opinions. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Gu Dad finally regained his breath and listened to Gu Mom explain that their daughter was fine, then exhaled deeply and sat down.

Coincidentally, Ou Yanan received a call from home and came out to answer it, standing in the corridor, unknowingly making eye contact with Gu Dad.

Gu Dad was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Why is he here?"

Gu Mom patted him, "He’s Dr. Ou, assisting Professor Tang. You know this very well, don’t you?"

Gu Dad had mixed feelings. Previously, he probably would have shared the same thoughts as Gu Mom, but now things were different, with the results from his investigation back home, it seemed that this young man could very well be their son.

Gu Mom noticed his odd attitude, feeling puzzled, and said, "Didn’t you say you’d bring the local produce once it’s ready? Where did you put it?"

Gu Dad slapped his forehead, "I was in such a hurry, I left it at the airport."

In a rush, he got in the car and returned to the airport to retrieve the items.
