Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife Chapter 1090: In Old Age (9)

Wei Changqing followed the clues provided by Gu Nuan and found Lao Ba tied up in the basent of the auto repair shop.

At that ti, Jia Baomo was dehydrated and on the brink of life. Lao Si, Zhan Dapeng, sent him back to his hotown to recuperate and, out of guilt towards his sister, temporarily kept Jia Baomo from coming out.

Back in Gu Nuan’s office, the busy Black Cat Detective, who had been working for several days, drank water and looked a bit tired. Suddenly, a man’s voice could be heard rambling, more formidable than a lady in a market.

Who was it?

It was Hu Jialu.

Unexpectedly, without needing to take the fall for Gu Nuan, he actually beca the vice president. Hu Jialu flattered the new boss enthusiastically, saying, "I think that designer who ca back from overseas isn’t anything good either. Chairman Gu might not know, but when I t him here before, he wanted to secretly collaborate with in front of Chairman Gu. Of course, I righteous declined him."

Designer?

Wei Changqing raised an eyebrow slightly.

Gu Nuan hadn’t ntioned this issue or this person to him.

Hu Jialu’s enthusiastic suggestion didn’t receive any response from Gu Nuan, and he just smiled, seemingly accustod to it. But he believed Gu Nuan must have listened.

Turning around, he walked out, preparing for a business trip to the land the boss bought.

The day after tomorrow is New Year’s Eve.

The old lady Xiao personally called, saying she hoped Gu Nuan would co over for dinner on New Year’s Eve.

With her husband here, how could she leave?

Gu Nuan refused.

Accordingly, the old lady finally confird in her heart that sothing indeed happened to her grandson.

In these few days, the company has had its ups and downs, and people outside have been eagerly watching the drama. In contrast, those who ca to harass Xiao Jianming earlier, saying they would retaliate against Gu Nuan, are now silent in the face of such a massive change.

The entrance is desolate, not like the atmosphere of the Xiao Family.

The old lady felt a sense of loneliness, like that of flowers that bloom last in autumn.

In the past, before the New Year, there were always plenty of people coming to the Xiao Family early to send gifts, so much so that carriages and horses were endless, lasting at least half a month.

But now, with only three days until the New Year, no one has co.

The old lady felt both overly idle and saw her son seed to gradually get used to this normalcy.

Xiao Jianming sat in his bedroom, now reading books and taking notes every day, without doing anything else. He had no interest in going out for a walk either.

The old lady had once gone out to buy a lot of New Year’s goods.

Money wasn’t scarce.

Gu Nuan often had people send over money, saying that if there was a need for money, as long as it was for daily essentials, just ask for it.

This granddaughter-in-law was not stingy at all and didn’t intend to be harsh on these elders who had once been unkind to her.

The old lady Xiao felt a bit more guilty in her heart.

You could say Gu Nuan knows how to conduct herself.

Understanding that these people are ultimately her husband’s family, the blood relationship cannot be broken. Instead of becoming lifelong enemies, it’s better to turn hostility into friendship.

Being a person isn’t easy; it’s not just a bullet and gun, killing all enemies to finish.

Enemies can never be completely swept away. However, your alliances can be strengthened.

Xiao Jianming seed to have so opinions on this daughter-in-law’s approach and said to Uncle Tang, "She wants to spend New Year’s Eve in Yebai’s mother’s house?"

"Yes," Uncle Tang replied, "The old lady already called to ask, and she said she’s not going anywhere."

The old lady couldn’t bear to lose face, and seeing as Gu Nuan didn’t invite, would she really go to that house?

But for soone, that’s definitely not a problem, and that’s Xiao Shuju, who ca back from Europe specifically for the New Year.

Xiao Shuju arrived the day before New Year’s Eve and imdiately heard Uncle Tang’s complaints upon reaching ho.

The old lady and Xiao Jianming, relying solely on their status, would say nothing to her because they want to save face.

Xiao Shuju seed to have changed a lot after going abroad, and boldly said, "It’s just such a small matter, what’s the big deal? Grandma and dad may not want to say it, so I’ll do it!"

Uncle Tang gave her a thumbs up, but also worried Xiao Shuju might ss things up by going.

Looking at this period of ti, the relationship between Gu Nuan and the Xiao family seed to have eased a bit.

"Mainly because the fourth sister didn’t co. But even if the fourth sister ca, the sister-in-law would still be the sa. I know her temperant." Xiao Shuju said, as if she understood Gu Nuan better than Xiao Shuzhu.

Uncle Tang looked at her in surprise, wondering what had happened to her abroad.

Just as she said, Xiao Shuju went straight to Gu Nuan’s place.

Arriving at her forr ho, the house left by her mother, the first thing Xiao Shuju saw was Zhao ngjin and her brother arranging flowers in the yard. In this household, there’s a custom of arranging red flowers for the New Year.

Seeing Xiao Shuju appear, Little Pudding was the first to be surprised.

Xiao Shuju walked over directly, pinched Qingqing’s face, and said, "Oh my, you little guy have gotten chubby. What delicious food has your aunt been giving you?"
