Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife Chapter 456: Creating Discord (7)

Xiao Shuju saw his puzzled expression and asked, "Don’t tell you’ve known all along just like Second Sister and the others?"

"Known what?" Xiao Yebai seed sowhat innocent as he furrowed his brows, "Second Sister and I barely talk, our conversations never click."

It seed like he really didn’t know. Thus, Xiao Shuju began to vent her frustrations to him, "I always thought it was my fault, that I owed him. Little did I know that he owed !"

"Did your brother-in-law owe you money?"

"He owed a child!"

Pfft!

Xiao Yebai spat in front of the third child.

Xiao Shuju just glared at him, "Yebai, when did you beco so heartless? Is it that funny?!"

"Third Sister, haven’t you always cared more about your brother-in-law’s money?"

"I, my own family is rich, why would I care about his money?"

"Why do you want his child then? Isn’t it just because you’re afraid he’ll leave all his property to his daughter?"

Xiao Yebai knew well that Xiao Shuju didn’t necessarily like children.

The reason was simple, if this third child truly liked kids, she would have married early like the fourth child did, rather than dragging her feet, having waited until past the pri age for childbirth before finding a husband.

Xiao Shuju denied this, saying, "What do you know? I love him—"

"Yes, you love his money. Since the family wealth isn’t going to you, if you don’t covet that bit of his money, what will you do later? How will you maintain such a respectable lifestyle for the rest of your life?"

Speaking of which, Lin Jiale actually did have a bit of money. In the circles of the nobility, he was considered wealthy, far richer than Su Family’s father by more than a hundred tis.

Otherwise, Lin Yishan wouldn’t dare to strut around everywhere. She really thought she was so kind of heiress.

However, it just so happened that Lin Jiale’s money was a bit less than that of the Xiao Family.

Xiao Shuju pouted at her brother, "Yes, I’m not as carefree as you. Your brain must be fried; you didn’t need to worry about the essentials or think about supporting a wife and children when you chose your sister-in-law."

Gu Nuan happened to walk up with a cup of water, overhearing Xiao Shuju’s words, her face remained expressionless.

If he truly wanted to be a kept man, she, Gu Nuan, would kick him into the sea. She thought he wouldn’t dare. Initially, she had not been mistaken about this man. It could only be said that his family mbers didn’t understand him as she did.

"Since it cos to this." Xiao Yebai seed to acknowledge the third child’s words, spread his hands, and said, "Are you sure it’s useful to co to for complaining? Dad already said he won’t give a single penny. You co to , I have no money, do you think it’s useful?"

Xiao Shuju said nothing.

Gu Nuan handed her the cup of water, which she didn’t even look at, probably for fear that the water wasn’t clean or good to drink.

Xiao Yebai stood up, not planning to deal with her any longer, ready to go upstairs with his wife and continue to sleep.

Xiao Shuju quickly raised her head and asked, "What about tonight?"

"What about you? All the little money we had went to the landlord here; we don’t even have a single penny left in our pockets. We can’t afford to rent another room for you to sleep in. You can sleep on this living room sofa. If the landlord cos out at midnight and wants to drive you out, we can’t do anything. Because we ourselves are barely getting by without money." As he spoke, Xiao Yebai gave the third child a gesture of fending for themselves.

Xiao Shuju turned pale, clearly not expecting this situation.

As Xiao Yebai and Gu Nuan climbed the stairs, she quickly turned around, picked up the phone, and dialed soone’s number.
