CHAPTER 841: CHAPTER 841: YOU WILL PAY THE PRICE (8)

"Mom." Kang Yueting walked up to her mother and said, "Mom, I heard everything you just said to my two aunts. I’m also very sad about grandpa’s condition."

Xiao Shulan relaxed a bit and sighed happily, "You’ve grown up, and you can think things through."

"Yes, Mom, given the current state of the family company, I have an idea that might help grandpa’s company."

"What idea?"

"If you agree, we can partner with the Ou Group and relinquish fifty percent of the shares. Of course, there’s no need to worry because Mrs. Ou originally wanted to form a marriage alliance with our family, right?"

Xiao Shuzhu was dumbfounded, pointing a finger at Kang Yueting.

In contrast to Xiao Shuzhu’s disbelief, Xiao Shulan and Xiao Shuju showed completely opposite reactions.

"That’s a good idea." Xiao Shulan nodded, "The Ou Group is very prestigious. With their support—"

"Don’t be delusional." Xiao Shuzhu couldn’t help but interject, "Last time, when Changda had an incident, we went to find Mrs. Ou, but she didn’t even show up. How can she help us now?"

"Aunt Four." Kang Yueting glanced at Xiao Shuzhu, "Who said we approached Mrs. Ou? Approaching Mrs. Ou won’t allow her to decide for the Ou Group. Of course, we should look for Mr. Ou."

Xiao Shuzhu saw the three of them in their delusion and was at a loss for words, slamming the door as she left the main house.

Seeing this, the third sister, Xiao Shuju, remarked, "That fourth sister, all her heart is with that woman surnamed Gu; she’s not even a Xiao."

"Didn’t count on her a long time ago." Xiao Shulan said casually, while constantly praising her daughter for being filial, unlike the fourth sister’s daughter who only thought of herself and ran back to the United States.

After Gu Nuan returned to the villa, she underwent a check-up.

Tang Sili measured her blood pressure and said, "Your blood pressure is still low. I’ll need to prescribe you some medication, Mrs. Xiao. During this time, you must rest in bed and can’t go out."

Hearing the meaning behind his words, she realized she’d barely made it back without fainting.

It was truly a matter of life and death.

Whenever Gu Nuan looked at Ou Yanan’s face standing by the bed, she knew what they were thinking.

Ou Yanan didn’t look too pleased. As a doctor, there were certain things he couldn’t directly tell a patient. Initially, he thought she shouldn’t be pregnant at this time. But the man insisted she get pregnant immediately, disregarding the consequences.

And now, that man has simply gone missing, leaving her and the child on their own.

Back then, that man should have thought of this consequence and shouldn’t have returned to the Xiao Family, knowing full well how they felt about her. Going back was like inviting trouble for his wife—the most troublesome man.

When he saw her inquisitive eyes glance over, Ou Yanan turned his face away.

The phone in his pocket rang twice.

He looked down and saw it was his father calling.

His father, currently the head of the Ou Group, is named Ou Shihua.

Since childhood, Ou Chunhua has been doting and pampering him, while Ou Shihua has always been focused on his business, spending little time with the family. Therefore, any issues concerning his son were typically left to his wife to handle, as long as they were minor matters not worth mentioning.

Men handle big matters, not small ones.

With that mindset, Ou Shihua rarely called his son.

Afraid she might notice, as she was already worried enough about that man, he couldn’t let her worry about another person. Ou Yanan directly walked out, moving to another place to take the call.
