Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1209: Her Majesty the Empress (2)

Gu Mama wasn’t as good-tempered as Gu Dad. She flung off Gu Dad’s hand and rushed forward, saying, "Years ago, you were the one who said you were too old to take care of the child. Now you’re blaming us for raising the child. Do you have any sense of shame? You know how tiring it is to raise a child. Yes, yes, he’s your precious great-grandson from the Xiao Family, so why don’t you take care of him yourself? Go ahead and take care of him yourself!"

The old lady was about to lose it, stamping her feet: "I take care, I take care?! I’m so old, yes, yes, he’s my precious great-grandson, so I should take care of him! Does that make any sense? Aren’t all children supposed to be raised by their mothers? Why not say it’s the child’s mother who has no sense of responsibility, leaving the child to be raised like this?"

You shouldn’t say that about anyone’s daughter in their own family. Gu Mama almost spat blood, shouting, "Our Gu Family works to the bone, giving you children, raising them, and my daughter even has to help manage the company for your Xiao Family. What other daughter-in-law can do this kind of work! Tell me!"

"If you ask me, your daughter is capable, I admit. She’s too capable, it’s what she wanted. Why did she pursue my grandson back then? Now isn’t everything just as she wished? Our company’s and our property’s rights are entirely hers now. The capable do more work, and she likes it, it’s what she wants, no one stopped her. But now she’s acting like an absentee mother, raising the child like this, showing no respect for the elders. Tell me, isn’t she wrong?" The old lady from the Xiao Family squinted her eyes, speaking clearly and sharply as she enumerated several misdemeanors of her granddaughter-in-law.

In the end, even the good-natured Gu Dad was provoked. Gu Dad held it in for a long time but finally couldn’t anymore, waving his hand and shouting at the old lady from the Xiao Family, "Fine, I’ll go back and tell my daughter to sell your company, take the money and live in comfort at home. Whether your company lives or dies, that’s your problem!"

The old lady’s face changed dramatically, her fingers trembling as she pointed right at Gu Dad’s nose, "You said it, you’re the one who said it. If you have the guts, let her sell it, let her sell it—" After saying this, the old lady obviously couldn’t catch her breath, because she knew, if Gu Nuan really sold the company, heavens, among the current people in the Xiao Family, none could afford to buy Changda.

The old lady didn’t really know how many assets her grandson Xiao Yebai had, only knew that Dabai told her they’re now living off his wife. The position of chairman of the company, the controller of the shares, the owner on the property deed, all bore the name of Gu Nuan, not Xiao Yebai.

If Gu Nuan really sold the company, that would be the end. Because the old lady could tolerate Gu Nuan monopolizing all of this, thinking that these things would eventually be passed down from Gu Nuan to the two little monkeys. The monkeys being descendants of the Xiao Family, eventually, the monkeys controlling these assets would equate to them returning to the Xiao Family’s hands, and Gu Nuan having worked for free for the Xiao Family for so many years.

All said, the old lady really regretted her sharp tongue just now. If Gu Nuan blamed her and forced her to leave over this point of working for free, it would utterly be foolishness.

At this point, what could the old lady do? She could only pretend to be senile, sitting back down on the chair breathlessly, motionless, acting as if she knew nothing, understood nothing.

You’d think that when adults argue like this, nearly tearing each other apart, the kids would be too scared and cry out, pulling the adults and saying stop, stop arguing. If not, they’d be so scared that they’d be dumbstruck, unable to say a word, sitting there in a daze.

But the two little monkeys clearly weren’t like that. They seemed to be looking at something, but definitely not at the old lady or at Gu Dad or Gu Mama. Were they looking at the doorway?

Just as the Gu couple and the old lady from the Xiao Family were arguing, Ou Yanan was standing at the doorway because she had to help the teacher give Lingxin their last post-discharge check-up, and she heard it.
