Jian Anning was so ill that she was in a daze. After several days of recovery at home, she awoke one day to the sound of a heated argument downstairs. Listening carefully, she recognized one voice as Yu Zexiao’s and the other as Xia Ziyu’s.

"She said she would only marry if there were children! So now that there aren’t any, there can’t be a marriage!" Xia Ziyu seized upon this flaw and refused to relent, "She’s been with you for five years. We’re not the kind of family that looks down on others, so why won’t she marry, and why has she stubbornly refused to have children for four years? If she were some kind of career woman who insisted on focusing on work, it’d be understandable. She didn’t want to get married then, so why does she want to now?"

"Grandma." Yu Zexiao couldn’t talk back to her, so he just said, "Don’t forget, when the Yu Family was in trouble back then, she handed over almost all of her savings."

This was true. When the Yu Family was in dire straits, Yu Zexiao sold the house and stocks, and Jian Anning, after some hesitation, handed him the stocks from her father’s company that she held.

"Zexiao, we’re a family now. When the family is in trouble, I don’t have much to help with, so I can only give these to you. If you need, you can sell them. Getting through the hard times is what’s important. If we have money in the future, we can redeem them back."

"But they weren’t sold, were they!" Xia Ziyu continued to argue.

Though they hadn’t been sold at the time, the shares in her hand were worth billions in RMB, and in the most critical moments, selling them could’ve alleviated the urgent crisis. The members of the Yu Family also knew this.

"Sold or not, it was her intention. Besides, wasn’t she the one who helped resolve the crisis with Huanyu Group in North America?"

Jian Anning had almost no foundation in Huaxia Country, but she did in North America. Indeed, if not for her help in resolving the North American market difficulties at that time, Huanyu Group’s predicament wouldn’t have been solved so quickly.

Now Xia Ziyu was speechless. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Hasn’t our family treated her well over the years?"

"She respects you too! For anything, she thinks of you first, along with Grandpa and Mom and Dad," Yu Zexiao said. "And as for having children, we’re not incapable. If you’re anxious, we could try IVF. Having children is a matter of fate, who knows when it might just happen?"

Xia Ziyu wasn’t someone who didn’t acknowledge favors. Although Jian Anning hadn’t sold her shares back then, she did hand over all her assets and helped them bridge connections, allowing the Yu Family to get through tough times. Despite her unwillingness to marry or have children over the years, she was indeed filial and respectful.

"And Grandma, you know I... I’ve always had a cleanliness obsession. Except for her, I’ve interacted with other women but really can’t..." He shook his head, rendering Xia Ziyu stunned. She recalled this time that before meeting Jian Anning, her grandson indeed had a ten-meter radius rule where no females were allowed near.

"So, if you want me to separate from her, it’s like asking me to be single for life."

Xia Ziyu was overwhelmed with one feeling: Oh, what a grievance!

"Do you really have to marry her?"

Yu Zexiao was just about to answer when Jian Anning, already downstairs, knelt before her upon hearing those words!

"Grandma, I..." Before she could finish, she fainted on the ground!
