Chapter 740: Chapter 740

Gu Nuan nodded to her, "Yes, she should set off by tomorrow morning at the latest."

Yaojie happily went back to pack her luggage.

Gu Nuan watched her figure receding, her eyes slightly darkening.

After meeting with the Zhao Family, Xiao Jianming took a flight back to the country that same day.

The main reason was that he found out his son’s girlfriend was pregnant with his precious grandson; it didn’t matter whether the daughter-in-law admitted it or not, it was a significant event, and he needed to discuss it with Grandma Xiao at home first.

Needless to say, Grandma Xiao at home was overjoyed to hear about four generations under one roof. She didn’t care which woman bore the child; the most important thing was the child, the child!

As soon as his son entered the door, Grandma Xiao didn’t care whether he was weary from the long journey or had adjusted to the jet lag; she kept pressing, "Why didn’t you bring them back with you? She should stay here to be taken care of during her pregnancy."

The old lady felt uneasy.

Not to mention that it was Gu Nuan’s first pregnancy and was high risk, but the old lady also doubted whether Gu Nuan, being young and from a modest background, could properly carry the child until birth.

Xiao Jianming was indeed tired, especially regarding this matter, as he and Grandma Xiao walked back to the living room where Xiao Shuju, Xiao Shulan, and Xiao Shuzhu were also standing there, waiting for the news he brought back.

"The Zhao Family—" Xiao Jianming still decided to discuss the urgent, big-picture issues first.

Upon hearing the words ’Zhao Family,’ Grandma Xiao somewhat came to her senses, nodded her head, and sat next to her son to listen.

The business matter was indeed pressing, especially now that they were to welcome four generations; they had to provide the best possible environment for the baby that was to be born. They couldn’t afford to have the child face a family bankruptcy upon birth. Thıs content belongs to 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱

The Xiao sisters standing nearby felt mixed emotions as they listened.

With a brother about to have a child, it practically settled who the Xiao Family’s heir would be.

If this child turned out well and could support his aunts, Xiao Shuju and the others didn’t see anything wrong with that.

Of course, having children, they had also fantasized about their own children becoming the future heirs of the family.

Xiao Jianming only discussed the critical issues concerning the Zhao Family with the old lady, saying, "We’ve managed to turn the situation around for now. For the time being, the business can keep going, and the liquidity issues can be solved; the bank will see the profit potential and will continue lending to the Zhao Family. However, to regain the vitality of the past, it will take time; it might not be easy to recover the lost profits without six months of efforts in market expansion."

"Six months, huh." Grandma Xiao sighed, her thoughts drifting towards Changda.

The Zhao Family needed six months to catch their breath and were also at risk of further attacks; they likely couldn’t spare the effort to assist the Xiao Family anymore. Although the immediate crisis for the Zhao Family was temporarily averted, the sword of Damocles still hung above the Xiao Family’s head.

Just seeing the adversaries remaining inactive, she wondered what their next plan would be.

Seeing her son’s expression after he had spoken, and as he said no more, Grandma Xiao had no choice but to refocus her attention on her great-grandson. After all, business matters were beyond her expertise; she would leave it to her son, as her involvement would only cause chaos.

Then, Grandma Xiao turned again and said, "I’ll tidy up the rooms here; have her move in."

These words from Grandma Xiao carried an unusual firmness.

It was clearly a declaration to her son that the child came first, everything else was secondary, and there was no hurry to address other matters until after the child was born.
