Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1191: Lingxin and Mingli (2)
A small box popped open from the base of the robot’s lower body. Xiao Shuju reached her hand into the box, taking out a reduced-size copy of some documents. Curiously, she started reading them herself.
The old lady walked over, snatched the papers from her hands, and said, "Is this for you to read?"
Xiao Shuju sheepishly replied, "Probably not."
The old lady, whose eyesight was failing, couldn’t read the small print on the document in her hand, so she handed it to her son.
Xiao Jianming did not take it, instead signaling to hand it to his daughter-in-law.
Reluctantly, the old lady had the butler give it to Gu Nuan.
Gu Nuan took the document, skimmed through it, and realized it was a marriage agreement. Without looking closely, she already understood that this was the promise set by Xiao Jianming and Ruan Ruzhen at the time of their marriage.
"Any son born must carry the Ruan surname," the robot stated, "If the agreement is violated, one can’t inherit any property."
The old lady sat in the chair without speaking, in silence.
Probably the old lady was struggling internally, weighing the importance of passing down the Xiao surname against money.
Xiao Jianming stared piercingly at the robot speaking.
Anyone could see that the issue of the child carrying the Ruan surname was not his main concern. His main concern was about the people speaking on behalf of Ruan Ruzhen.
The robot turned its head towards Gu Nuan and Xiao Yebai: "You decide, what the child’s surname should be."
Xiao Yebai lightly raised his eyelids: "Are you asking my wife and me? My wife and I are not afraid of not making money, no matter how much we have, whether they’ll give it to us or not, it doesn’t matter."
At heart, Dabai detests being threatened, even if the person on the other side is his mother’s associate.
Gu Jinrong agreed with Dabai’s perspective. Money can be earned; it doesn’t need to be given.
Originally thinking these words would anger the robot, surprisingly, the robot responded, "Have you thought this through? Neither this house nor Changda belongs to you."
"How can they not—" The old lady finally couldn’t hold back, "The house was bought by my granddaughter-in-law, and it’s in her name. She’s now the biggest shareholder in the company, how is it yours?"
Listening to this, it was clear that the old lady didn’t really understand the rules of the business world. The old lady would simply consider that whoever’s name is on something owns it. Little did she know, many shrewd business people often set traps regarding the final ownership of assets.
The robot ignored the old lady, treating her words as mere air, and spoke to those present who understood business: "The Ruan Family has always held the ultimate ownership of the house. The house and the company are interconnected. If there were a lawsuit, the company would inevitably revert to the Ruan Family."
Regarding this, Gu Nuan leisurely responded, "Frankly, even if you took the house back, it wouldn’t serve your purpose, right? Because only when someone with the true bloodline of the Ruan Family lives here does this house have its value and significance. From this standpoint, your words do not constitute genuine coercion."
Her wife’s words were straight to the point. Dabai raised an eyebrow.
The robot seemed to ponder over Gu Nuan’s words, saying, "The house was originally given to you because you were considered a reasonable person."
"As for what surname the child should have, given the complex situation of this family, my proposal is to let the child choose when they grow up," Gu Nuan said.
"The child chooses for themselves? Do you think they will understand?"
"When they grow up, they will surely have their own ideas, and they will surely understand. You want the children to have the Ruan surname, but you can’t expect them to bring the Ruan Family down either."
