Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1192: Lingxin and Mingli (3)

After pondering for a moment, the robot said, "When the two children turn eighteen on their birthdays, let them decide what surname they want to carry."

The old lady finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

According to the original marriage terms, the Xiao Family was the losing side, because they indeed violated the agreement. Unexpectedly, Gu Nuan helped them restore a bit of opportunity and face at a critical moment.

As for Gu Nuan, she really wasn’t helping the Xiao Family, but was considering her two sons.

A surname of Ruan, Xiao, or Gu, as she had discussed with Dabai earlier, seemed burdensome to Gu Nuan. To her, it felt like the two little monkeys were under too much pressure. Just born, waiting to be fed, yet already having to consider how to inherit the family business; it was truly tough.

If she, as their mother, could make a decision, it would be best if the two little monkeys didn’t take on any surname at all. Saying this, most of the elders would likely not accept her overly avant-garde idea.

After saying these words, the robot completed its task, beeped, and automatically shut down.

Xiao Jianming’s disappointment was clearly visible on his face; he had hoped, at the very least, to see his wife.

From her father-in-law’s expression, Gu Nuan could tell that the person who most wanted to see Ruan Ruzhen in this family was Xiao Jianming.

This couple might have had many hidden conflicts or complaints, but feelings always linger.

Dabai seemed to be in good spirits. Dabai, too, missed his deceased mother whom he had never met, but ever since Gu Jinrong came into his life, this loneliness had significantly diminished.

Moreover, Dabai was now a father, and his role as a son had undergone a noticeable change.

—In the blink of an eye, three years had passed—

A globally attention-grabbing financial case began its trial proceedings in the Beijing Court. This international sensation that captured the world’s media attention stemmed from three years ago.

Rogers and his defense attorney stood in the defendant’s seat, debating with the numerous defendants who had been deceived. Rogers and his attorney constantly maintained Rogers’ innocence, claiming that he had informed each investor of the risks involved, including losing everything. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

In response, the prosecutor argued that Rogers’ investment package was not true investment, but unlawful fundraising, as Rogers took the money from investors but did not actually invest it in the proposed investment plans, thereby constituting fraud.

The courtroom saw many bouts of heated debates. The case, from investigation to filing, took two years, and now, a year into the first trial, it had yet to be truly concluded.

Many investors lost everything, and apart from resigning to their fate, they sued Rogers, demanding that the court freeze Rogers’ assets, seemingly with no better resolution.

Stories like these might bore the average populace because they encompass too much of the financial knowledge domain. Yet, in this household, two little children sat in front of the TV, listening attentively.

They don’t watch Pleasant Goat, Gray Wolf, or Garfield; they only watch the finance channel.

Their grandma, Gu Mama, thought her two little monkeys were extraordinary, with these initially rambunctious little ones becoming as fascinated as if drawn by Flower and Fruit Mountain as soon as the finance channel was turned on, their eyes gleaming at the TV.

Of course, Grandma Gu Mama didn’t think these two kids could understand much. The adult world is so complex; Gu Mama herself, being quite elderly, couldn’t decipher what was happening, so how could these three-year-old kids understand?
