Free Web NovelChapter 204: Chapter 202: Having Children
"Xiao Yu’an’s wife, I want to meet that girl, isn’t it necessary to prepare properly."
Mr. Xiao glanced at Xiao Baocang, his eyes filled with undisguised irritation, "Why are you here, are you so free at work? Yu An, someone who doesn’t understand business, studied for a while, went abroad to start a business, and did remarkably well, earning the respect of many in the industry. You’ve been in the company for so long without any achievements, making mistakes repeatedly and making me clean up your messes."
"I..."
Xiao Baocang’s chest heaved violently.
It’s always Xiao Yu’an!
Dammit.
Why didn’t he die in the car accident?
Now he even wants to marry into the Mu Family, where does that leave Xiao Family’s inheritance for him?
The butler arrived just in time.
He brought some valuable jewels.
Each piece was worth over a hundred million.
Xiao Baocang’s eyes widened, the Xiao Family had never given him anything so expensive, but they were giving such lavish gifts as a betrothal gift for Xiao Yu’an’s future wife.
What did this make him! frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Mr. Xiao thought about Mu Ran’s personality and their family background, and simply said, "Bring all five pieces, little girls love pretty things, let her wear them for fun."
"Alright."
The butler led a group of bodyguards away.
At this moment, Xiao Baocang was so jealous that his eyes turned red!
Five hundred million.
A five-hundred-million meeting gift.
The most he got from his grandfather each year was no more than ten million, did they really take him for a beggar, giving him alms?!
"Why are you still standing here? Didn’t I tell you to study well how to manage the company’s affairs, and if you still can’t learn it, just forget about it and go abroad for further education."
In families like theirs.
Going abroad for further education was equivalent to being given up on.
Xiao Baocang was so scared that he stepped back, his face pale, "I..."
"Scram!"
Mr. Xiao found him an eyesore!
Without even this much resilience, how could he accomplish big things?
Still, Xiao Yu’an was better, even if he opposed him, he still had skills.
And he treated him as a grandfather.
Though not very close, his care was genuine, unlike Xiao Baocang.
Every act of concern.
Came with an agenda.
As if treating him, an old man, like an ATM.
Mr. Xiao changed into a Zhongshan suit before heading out to the café next to Mu Ran’s studio.
The café was quite ordinary.
But Mr. Xiao didn’t mind it.
Mu Ran was already waiting, seeing the elderly man with a cane, she stepped forward to help him, "Why did you come to see me?"
"Just to have a chat with you."
Mr. Xiao sat across from her, also taking a serious look at Mu Ran’s appearance.
Gotta admit.
His grandson had good taste.
With a face like Mu Ran’s, there wasn’t a second one to be found in their circle.
Exuding a strong vitality, very attractive, her eyes were fervent but clear.
"I know all about you and Yu An."
Mu Ran nodded, "So?"
"I came to meet you, here’s a meeting gift." Mr. Xiao glanced at the butler. freёwebnovel.com
The butler immediately placed the jewels on the side table.
Mu Ran glanced at it.
With legs crossed, she casually sipped her coffee, in a languorous manner.
She didn’t thank him.
Nor was she moved.
Mr. Xiao liked that!
He had money, lots and lots of money, and liked children who had no worldly desires for wealth.
No wonder Xiao Yu’an liked her too, it made sense.
Only someone like Xiao Baocang would make such a fuss.
"You can probably guess, I have my reasons."
Mu Ran nodded, her light brown pupils glistening beautifully in the sunlight.
With an elder’s kindness, Mr. Xiao continued, "Yu An doesn’t like kids, you’ll need to convince him to have more children."
Mu Ran put down her coffee and stood up, chuckling with irony, "Sir, you should know, I have a bad temper, so don’t ask me to persuade him, I can’t do it."
"Eventually you and Yu An will be married, I only ask that you talk to him about the importance of children, I don’t have many years left, I just want to see my grandson have a happy family."
Mr. Xiao thought he was being open-minded.
Nowadays, parents are directly pressuring kids to marry and have kids, but as an old man, he’d already said he accepted grandchildren, and she still wasn’t willing.
Don’t be oblivious to good intentions.
"How long you have is your business, what’s it got to do with me? It seems in your eyes, I’m already defined as a woman who must have several children," Mu Ran lightly laughed.
Mr. Xiao looked up at her, "What, are you planning on being child-free?"
"Whether I have children or not is my business, I’m only in my twenties, I can’t guarantee my lifelong choices, but my uterus is my own, I’ll decide how many kids I want, if any, my reproductive rights are mine, my body is not for others to decide!"
Mu Ran sneered.
She was exasperated.
In all her life.
It was the first time talking with an elder about children.
Give me a break.
She couldn’t even take care of herself, what was the point of having kids?
Mr. Xiao annoyedly frowned, "You young girl, your temper shouldn’t be so volatile, though your brother is doing well, it’s far from surpassing us!"
"So what, even without my brother, I’d still be saying the same thing to you."
"Without your brother, you wouldn’t have today’s achievements!"
"I’ve never denied that, so don’t try to use it against me, being born well is my skill." Mu Ran’s eyes grew cold.
"I heard you’re about to release a horror film." Mr. Xiao saw her expression change and finally felt gratified, "If you live well with Yu An, our family will support your career, otherwise, your film may stay shelved."
"Oh."
Mu Ran laughed.
The smile was bright, but chilly.
"Sir, you know, people have said these things to me a few years ago, and back then I had nothing, but so what? My films not only made a lot of money, but also won many awards."
Mr. Xiao frowned.
Mu Ran strode away, walking with purpose.
Mr. Xiao and his people could only see her striking profile.
Soon.
She disappeared from sight.
Mr. Xiao snorted, "Go tell her little nephew that because of him, his aunt might lose a good match."
He hoped his grandchildren would do well.
But he also wished they could be under his control.
Someone like Mu Ran, was too unpredictable, volatile temper aside, you never knew what bizarre ideas would pop into her head.
People like her.
Don’t love money, or power.
Protected by influential people.
The hardest to handle.
The butler paused, nodding and gave the orders.
While Xiao Jin was celebrating Xiao Miao’s participation in the sports day, he got some news.
Because of him, his aunt wasn’t willing to have children!
