Chapter 478

Fang Hui: "......"

Si Nian saw her son's reaction and nodded in satisfaction. As expected of the child she raised, he was indeed on the same front as her.

Grandma Xiao's jaw dropped in shock, and she asked in disbelief, "R-really?"

Si Nian nodded. "Of course it's true. You can rest assured handing over the Xiao family's property to him. Our Eldest Child is very good at doing business."

Si Nian felt a sense of pride as she spoke.

The Eldest Child had a talent for business since he was young.

Although she only knew that the Xiao family was very rich and hadn't paid attention to what they actually did, Si Nian believed that nothing could stump her son.

Inheriting property without the parents having to work hard for it—this was an overwhelming amount of wealth no matter who it happened to.

Si Nian didn't quite understand why Grandma Xiao would think they were unwilling to return the children.

Did they have a grudge against money?

Zhou Zedong was a little dumbfounded. Hearing his mother promoting and praising him so vigorously, his expression was blank.

So in his mother's eyes, he was such an amazing person?

His eyes lit up.

He didn't look at all like the cold and ruthless person he was when he went to see Grandma Xiao back then.

Grandma ​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‍Xiao clutched her chest; the excessive surprise and stimulation made her a little breathless.

For a moment, she was filled with mixed feelings of grief and joy.

Meanwhile, Fang Hui, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

At this moment, Xiao Bowen, who couldn't stay upstairs any longer, ran down anxiously. He actually regretted it a little, very afraid that Teacher Si would be angry if she heard his mother and grandmother talking.

He was also afraid that she would see through his petty thoughts, think he was a dishonest child, hate him in the future, and never let him play with Zhou Zedong and the others again.

After some struggle and regret, he planned to find Si Nian and apologize.

But he didn't expect to see Teacher Si smiling in a scene where everyone was happy.

Zhou Zedong's eyes and brows were also soft, without the coldness from the last time he talked with his grandmother in private.

Xiao Bowen stared blankly for a long time.

He didn't quite understand why something that sounded so complicated and troublesome from his grandmother and mother's mouths became so simple and clear when it came to Teacher Si.

After Si Nian finished speaking, she even took the initiative to invite Grandma Xiao to buy clothes, saying that the weather was hot and she planned to buy clothes for the children.

Grandma Xiao was flattered and interpreted it as Si Nian giving her a chance to personally buy clothes for her grandchildren as compensation, which was simply what she dreamed of doing.

Because she had no way to compensate her grandsons, she could only secretly sponsor and protect them behind the scenes.

But as their biological grandmother, how could she not want to personally buy some clothes and gifts for the children?

Grandma Xiao was moved to tears.

She wished she could treat Si Nian as her own daughter.

At this moment, she didn't care whether Fang Hui was there or not. With such a reasonable child like Si Nian, even if Fang Hui wanted to belittle her, it would be impossible.

She grabbed her bag and said she would take them to the department store.

Fang Hui came back to her senses, her nose twisted in anger.

"Wait, Mrs. Xiao, are you going to believe her so easily?"

Grandma Xiao turned her head, her face turning cold as fast as flipping a page in a book. "Do you think everyone is as scheming as you? Niannian, don't overthink it. All those bad things she said about you just now, I treated them like a fart and didn't take them to heart at all. Auntie sees very clearly what kind of person you are."

"It was Auntie who thought too much before. I never dared to admit this matter, and I did those things secretly, causing you to misunderstand. I had no malicious intent."

Seeing her two completely different attitudes towards herself and Si Nian, Fang Hui's face turned pale and green.

Si Nian glanced at Fang Hui's pale and green face and said, "It's fine. To be frank, I really have to thank Comrade Fang for speaking out about this today and letting me know. Otherwise, my child would have had to struggle for another ten or twenty years."

She spoke in a tone of taking advantage and still acting innocent.

Hearing this, Fang Hui was fuming with anger and almost fainted.

Then she thought about the three children returning home. Where would her son's status in the Xiao family be then?

She said anxiously, "No, Mrs. Xiao, you can't be so biased. Bowen is also your grandson!"

Grandma Xiao snorted coldly from her nostrils. "I don't need you to teach me what to do! If you still want to stay in Beijing, you'd better not make trouble for the Zhou family in the future, otherwise I'll be the first to not let you off!"

She originally didn't want to keep Fang Hui here, just worried that she would expose this matter.

But now it seemed that the other party didn't care at all. It was she who thought too much, and Grandma Xiao's heart relaxed.

She dropped those words and, no longer caring about Fang Hui's expression, left with Si Nian and the children.

The matter with Fang Hui came to an end. Si Nian didn't spend a single cent but bought a large pile of clothes and toys for the children. Although she didn't experience the life of a rich second generation, her children did (envious.jpg).

Although she said that, Si Nian was mostly acting out of shock over this matter and deliberately mocking Fang Hui. After all, she saw things thoroughly. After knowing the children's background and hearing Fang Hui's words, she knew exactly what Fang Hui wanted to do.

Doing this not only protected the children but also angered her to death. It was the best of both worlds, so why not do it?

As for what happened between the children's parents and the Xiao family before, because she didn't know, she didn't comment much.

At the very least, Grandma Xiao wouldn't hurt the children, and that was the most important thing right now.

The rest was up to Zhou Yueshen's opinion.

Her agreement didn't mean Zhou Yueshen agreed. After all, this matter also involved Zhou Yueshen's sister.

She had heard that his sister's death back then was inextricably linked to the children's father.

If he hated the other party, then it was normal for him to be unwilling to accept it.

When Zhou Yueshen heard about this, his expression was indescribably strange.

He didn't expect that the matter he had been having people investigate for so many years had only yielded the word "Beijing."

But he didn't expect it to be exposed by his wife so coincidentally.

Si Nian looked at her new clothes in fascination. These clothes were made of fine fabrics. For a woman like her who had just given birth and urgently needed maintenance, she liked them very much, especially since the weather was hot and they were comfortable to wear.

They were simply too friendly to her.

But this kind of silk fabric was expensive. Even as a little rich woman, she only occasionally splurged on it.

She wouldn't be too willing to spend the money.

But Grandma Xiao pulled her along and bought them without hesitation.

She didn't look at the price at all, saying it was to thank them for taking care of the children all these years.

Although Si Nian felt quite embarrassed, she also felt that there was nothing unacceptable about this. She had indeed raised the children to be decent, sensible, and family-oriented!

One had to know that the three children in the novel all had miserable ends.

This was what she deserved!

So while talking to Zhou Yueshen about this, she held the new clothes and gestured them against her body, finally saying, "If you have any objections in your heart, then I can only return all the clothes."

Zhou Yueshen: "..."

Why did it seem like he was going to be the bad guy?

Was he such an unreasonable person?

As for the love and hate between his sister and that man, Zhou Yueshen was in no mood to care. Something Si Nian said was very right: respect the fate of others.

Whatever he did, as long as it benefited the children, it was a good thing.

Since Si Nian had already said that the other party meant the children no harm, that was enough.

At the very least, the kids could stay here. If they struggled to make a living when they grew up, they could always come back home to inherit the family fortune.

It wasn't a bad path to take.

After all, if someone was wealthy from a young age, who would want to work their fingers to the bone from dawn till dusk?

Ever since he found out that Zhou Zedong and the others were willing to come home, Xiao Bowen would call out, "Big Brother!" whenever he saw him.

Faced with Zhou Zedong's peculiar gaze, Xiao Bowen felt a bit nervous, but he lied without batting an eye, "Grandma said you're the oldest in the family, so I have to call you Big Brother from now on!"

Zhou Zedong didn't like being called Big Brother by outsiders, but when he thought about the massive fortune he was going to inherit, it suddenly didn't seem so unbearable.

So, he couldn't be bothered to correct him.

He had already made up his mind. In the future, he would leave his father's pig farm to Xiao Han and his father's new company to his youngest brother. Between the three brothers, they would definitely earn more than enough to provide for their mother and sister.

That way, he wouldn't have to bother with those petty businesses anymore.

With his newly freed-up time, Zhou Zedong chose to participate in math competitions and delve into some research.

He knew that only by becoming truly exceptional could he secure the very best in the future.
