"I trust him. I trust that we will be happy together."

Jian Anning did not loudly proclaim her position, she simply held Yu Zexiao’s hand tightly. Her words instantly calmed the furious Yu Zexiao.

Indeed, their own happiness needs no proof; as long as they live well, it is the greatest gift from heaven!

He remained silent, but Xia Ziyu was not one to be trifled with. Back in the day, Situ Che coveted her daughter-in-law and failed. Now his son is here trying to cozy up to her granddaughter-in-law. Xia Ziyu, this old lady, doesn’t care about accommodating the younger generation; if she can leverage her seniority, she absolutely will make full use of her status and experience.

"That’s right, my granddaughter-in-law said that starting today, she’ll be preparing to have several children with Xingxing. If they all acknowledge this..." she pointed at Situ Xuan for a long time before continuing, "acknowledge you as godfather, during festivals, you can’t just send a single dry gift."

He likes her granddaughter-in-law, doesn’t he? The salt she’s eaten certainly surpasses the rice Situ Xuan has eaten. Since he likes the granddaughter-in-law, she intentionally emphasizes the good relationship between her granddaughter-in-law and their beloved grandson, wanting to see what this young fellow will do.

Sure enough, upon hearing Xia Ziyu’s words, the smile on Situ Xuan’s face slightly stiffened. Although he foresaw these things, he felt somewhat uncomfortable but managed not to lose composure. He laughed freely upon hearing her words: "Naturally."

Seeing Situ Xuan respond this way, Xia Ziyu was a bit surprised. Able to bend and adapt, even suppressing his feelings, no wonder her grandson couldn’t outmatch him. Upon further reflection, whether her grandson could outmatch him or not didn’t actually matter. After all, Zexiao has this personality, and he is unlikely to take over Huanyu Group. Ultimately, she’d simply have him father several more children and groom them properly, worrying not about lacking heirs for the family’s business legacy.

However, while Yu Zexiao is clueless about managing a company, his ability to earn money is first-rate. In recent years, he’s thrived in the entertainment industry, with exceptional earning power. The money he makes personally doesn’t fall short of the wealth Huanyu Group brings to the Yu Family after deducting all costs. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

On the contrary, Jian Anning, having studied economic management and gained experience working at the Cheng Family’s company, although a woman, has insightful views on certain matters. It might be better to have this prospective daughter-in-law take over, rather than groom their clueless son.

But all of that is a story for another day. After the engagement ended, upon returning home, Yu Zexiao dissatisfiedly shut the door, ready to "settle accounts" with her!

"Explain this! When did you agree with Situ Xuan to let him become the godfather of our children?"

He’s truly angry with Situ Xuan; no matter what, this guy has always coveted their family’s daughter-in-law. Now that the daughter-in-law’s case is closed, is he still trying to maintain a presence in front of their son?

"It was on our journey while escaping back then, and he asked for it." All these years later, although Jian Anning still feels grateful for his righteous assistance back then, gratitude aside, she truly hadn’t thought about his request at the time. If not for Situ Xuan asking publicly, she certainly wouldn’t have nodded so quickly and agreed.
