Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 488 I Told You to Beg My Wife on Your Knees (9)

Sister-in-law.

After all was said and done, among the four sisters, only the youngest always acknowledged Gu Nuan.

Initially, it was thought that the youngest was harboring some ill intentions, pretending to recognize Gu Nuan while actually scheming something sinister. Now, it seemed that everything was different from what she had imagined. Xiao Shuju asked her somewhat surprised, "Youngest sister, what’s really going on with you?"

"I heard that your husband pissed you off," Xiao Shuzhu didn’t start with herself but brought up her sister’s issue first.

Xiao Shuju felt that it was only a matter of time before everyone knew, so she didn’t hide it and openly said, "Believe it or not, Lin Jiale had schemed against me from the start!"

"Hmm—" Xiao Shuzhu softly acknowledged.

Xiao Shuju coldly snorted, "I know, I know all about it, you all guessed it—only I, the fool, was kept in the dark."

"No, I didn’t know from the start. If I had, wouldn’t I have stopped you?" Xiao Shuzhu said unhappily, countering her, "I know you all don’t believe it, but I really have no interest in the family property. You all know I don’t like studying; what would I do with the family property? Managing it with someone’s help would be troublesome, it’s better to find a husband to marry and get some spending money. But in the end—"

"In the end?" Xiao Shuju detected something unusual and thought to herself, it couldn’t be, could it be that she heard about the youngest’s husband finding a mistress overseas?

Xiao Shuzhu seemed to know what she heard and curled her lips saying, "As long as he gives me money, he can seek out his new love, I don’t care."

The youngest was living quite freely.

Xiao Shuju, unable to feel envy, questioned, "Then why did you come back to the country? Grandma’s ninetieth birthday has passed, and you’re still here, what for? Can you say you’re not greedy for the family property?"

"I say I’m not greedy, and I truly am not. If it weren’t for the fact that I saw him over there looking like he wanted to usurp our family’s wealth—"

Xiao Shuju suddenly realized, the youngest’s experience was just like her own. Suddenly, these two sisters, eye to eye, felt an unusual camaraderie.

"I warned the second sister, but she wouldn’t listen to me," Xiao Shuju lamented her own grievances.

"So, I didn’t dare speak up when I came back, afraid of ending up like you, where speaking up not only leads to disbelief but also suspects me of having ulterior motives. The second sister is ambitious, always thinking she can control men. True, her husband seems henpecked, but I really can’t be sure; these men are all unreliable," Xiao Shuzhu sighed.

"Why is everyone greedy for our family? I’m greedy for our family because it originally belongs to me," Xiao Shuju felt even more wronged. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Xiao Shuzhu listened to her in disbelief, thinking, this third sister is really foolish. With such a tremendous value in the Xiao family, who wouldn’t be greedy to swallow it?

"What do we do now? The second sister won’t listen, should we go find the eldest sister?" Xiao Shuju asked.

"Don’t," Xiao Shuzhu stopped her, just as she was about to reveal a recently heard secret, "Do you know why Dad suddenly fell ill?"

"The second sister said it was because Yebai insisted on having a sister-in-law, which angered Dad," Xiao Shuju felt her statement was strange.

"It’s not that," Xiao Shuzhu whispered, "I heard Yebai mumbling with Dad, saying Mom hurried to answer Dad’s phone call, went to fetch things for Dad, and as a result fell down the stairs and—"

Xiao Shuju had never heard this version before, her lips puckered into an "O": "This?"

"I don’t know what you think of it, but after hearing it, I find it quite frightening. Now thinking back, you say you married Lin Jiale, but Dad, being such a shrewd man, how could he see through Lin Jiale, yet still allow you to marry into the Lin family?"
