Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 487: I Said You Would Kneel and Beg My Wife (8)
Who did this?
*
The son had fallen ill, and for now the doctor said he probably couldnβt even talk to people. ππ£πππ°πππ§πΌπππ.π°π¨π¦
Grandma Xiao was sitting in the directorβs office.
The director tried his best to explain to the elderly woman, "As for the chairmanβs condition, since the chairman did not receive treatment at our hospital previously, we need to contact the hospital where the chairman was treated before, and then, we need to consult with the best experts from within the country and abroadβ"
"Stop talking," she cut him off.
Grandma Xiao waved her hand decisively, and the director immediately fell silent.
Thinking about how terrifying the Xiao Family was, not only was Xiao Jianming terrifying, but this ninety-year-old old lady was equally intimidating with every move she made.
Grandma Xiao waved her hand again, and the director obediently left his own office.
Thus, Xiao Shumei, Xiao Shulan, and Xiao Shuzhu walked into the room to face Grandma Xiao.
"The third child is ill, have you visited him?" Grandma Xiao looked up and asked her sisters.
"I saw that the second sister had gone, so I thought I would go later," Xiao Shuzhu said.
Xiao Shumei nodded in agreement with Xiao Shuzhuβs statement.
Grandma Xiao frowned, thinking how disunited these sisters were. Her son was ill, and her grandson had run away after falling out with his father over a woman. Now, whom could she rely on?
Her gaze swept around, afraid that she could only rely on the eldest first.
Xiao Shulan saw that their grandmotherβs gaze fell on the eldest and clenched her teeth in secret.
Receiving the old womanβs look, Xiao Shumei said, "Grandma, rest assured, with me here, this house will definitely not fall. I will protect both father and my younger siblings."
Grandma Xiao nodded in satisfaction with the eldestβs willingness to take responsibility and said, "I just talked to Miss Yang from the Yang family. She said there is a very good and significant project that you are collaborating on. If there are any problems with the company, maybe this project could help recoup the losses."
Xiao Shumei and others quickly understood the implied meaning in her words, fearing that Xiao Jianmingβs illness could hardly be kept secret, which might soon trigger public concern about Changdaβs future, directly affecting Changdaβs stock price plunge.
Once Changdaβs stock price collapsed, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, it was crucial for people to regain confidence in Changda and continue to hold its stocks. It was precisely for this reason that if Xiao Shumei could produce excellent results at this critical moment, proving she could fill Xiao Jianmingβs absence, it would undoubtedly help regain some shareholdersβ confidence and stabilize the companyβs situation.
Success or failure, it seemed, hinged on the project in Laiβan Village now.
The project had to be implemented vigorously before the news of Xiao Jianmingβs illness caused the stock price to plummet.
Under Grandma Xiaoβs accompanimentβwho still commanded some respect and could control the situationβXiao Shumei returned to the companyβs headquarters, ready to hold a regular board meeting.
Xiao Shulan and Xiao Shuzhu were thus excluded.
Regarding this situation, Xiao Shulan hurriedly drove to consult with her husband and father-in-law.
Xiao Shuzhu, following what she had promised the old lady, walked into Xiao Shujuβs hospital room.
Seeing that the second sister had just left and the fourth sister had arrived, Xiao Shuju raised her eyebrows, noting that the fourth sisterβs expression was completely different from the secondβs.
Xiao Shuzhu sat in the chair Xiao Shulan had occupied beside the bed, her face grave, emitting an aura of decline.
Feeling as if the fourth sister was more down-and-out than herself, Xiao Shuju perked up, sat up, and asked, "Are you ill too?"
"With the third sisterβs illness, I feel like falling ill myself. Look, dadβs ill, sister-in-lawβs illβ"
