Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 478: Turning Against Each Other (9)

Grandma Xiao seemed startled; surprise fixated on her grandson’s face.

"Yes, after Dad and I finished talking, he just collapsed," Xiao Yebai said, as if it was the most mundane thing and he was merely a spectator.

Everyone present gasped.

Grandma Xiao instantly looked at Uncle Tong and asked, "Is what the young master said true or false?"

Uncle Tong knew that the surveillance would reveal everything, and perhaps that was why Xiao Yebai simply admitted it. Therefore, he had no choice but to nod and say, "Of course, this is all because the chairman has been sick—"

Grandma Xiao surely filtered out the latter part of Uncle Tong’s words that defended Xiao Yebai.

No matter how much she doted on her grandson, at that moment Grandma Xiao was nothing but a ball of fire.

"Explain yourself!" Grandma Xiao fiercely demanded of her grandson and Uncle Tong, "What did he and the chairman talk about, and then the chairman had an attack?"

The three Xiao sisters present were all silent.

They just waited for Grandma Xiao to explode and unleash her fury on her grandson.

Uncle Tong said, his eyes slightly downturned, his expression seeming sad and sorrowful, "It seemed like something had happened to Miss Gu. The young master came to ask if the chairman had done it. How could the chairman possibly do such a thing?"

Grandma Xiao’s head exploded with fury: It was all that woman’s fault, causing her father and son to turn against each other!

Xiao Yebai’s gaze slowly swept over the anger on his grandmother’s face. At this moment, the elderly lady who usually doted on her grandson had forgotten that her grandson’s arm was in a sling, indicating he was injured. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Needless to say, the elderly lady had forgotten, and his sisters were even more oblivious to it.

The climax always requires such a person.

At the end of the corridor, having passed the security check, it was hard to say why Yang Zhilin, who rushed into the Xiao family’s most securely guarded area where outsiders were not allowed, could do so. Yet indeed, Yang Zhilin had bypassed the checkpoint and ran over, her face full of concern as she spoke to the Xiao family, "I heard Chairman Xiao fell sick."

The moment Miss Yang of the Yang Family arrived, the attitude of everyone present immediately changed.

Xiao Shulan took the lead, intending to grasp Miss Yang’s hand in mutual consolation.

However, Yang Zhilin abruptly avoided her and leaned next to Grandma Xiao, taking Grandma Xiao’s hand and saying, "Grandma, don’t worry. A lucky person will always have good fortune. Chairman Xiao will definitely be safe and sound. Didn’t you just celebrate your ninetieth birthday? It’s the best blessing for Chairman Xiao."

These words instantly elevated the elderly lady’s status.

Grandma Xiao immediately grasped her hand back and nodded, "You’ve come."

With that statement, they basically considered Yang Zhilin as one of their own family.

Everyone present was constantly watching every word and action of the elderly lady. Since Xiao Jianming had collapsed without saying which of his children should inherit his business, it was inevitably the elderly lady who had to make the decisions now.

Damn. Even the fourth youngest Xiao Shuzhu couldn’t help but sweat profusely for her brother at that moment.

Xiao Yebai let out a cold laugh, stood up, likely finding the current scene unbearably tedious, and began to walk away.

"Yebai, you stop right there!"

Grandma Xiao’s bellow at her grandson made the three sisters feel an indescribable sensation.

It was the first time the elderly lady had yelled at her grandson.

Yang Zhilin quickly followed up, "Brother Yebai, your dad is sick; you can’t just walk away like this, your dad needs you."
