CHAPTER 832: CHAPTER 832: NEVER BACK DOWN (8)

Lately, this girl has been enjoying her stay here, hasn’t she been hanging out with Kang Yueting? She hadn’t mentioned anything about leaving so suddenly before.

What went wrong?

Zhu Jiayin refused to say anything no matter what, and only insisted, "Get my passport sent over quickly, I’m about to board the plane! Send it to the airport, then contact me again."

Xiao Shuzhu sighed, but before she could ask more, Zhu Jiayin had already hung up.

Just then, some guests entered.

Xiao Shuzhu had no choice but to end the call and walk to the entrance with her two sisters.

Xiao Shulan actually overheard her conversation with Zhu Jiayin and shot her a glance, saying, "If she wants to go back to her dad, just let her."

Xiao Shuzhu frowned, "What do you know? Her dad—"

This time she returned to the country, wasn’t it just because she heard someone instigating her husband against the Xiao Family? If her daughter went to the United States now, it would truly be over between her and her husband.

"What do you need such a husband for? He’s not one of our family," Xiao Shulan said.

Xiao Shuju nodded in agreement.

Xiao Shuzhu was naturally a bit torn because, from the looks of it for now, her husband had been instigated but hadn’t really made a move against the Xiao Family yet.

She couldn’t figure out what her foreign husband was thinking anymore.

Hearing footsteps, the three sisters looked up and saw Gu Nuan walking through the main entrance. Zhan Dapeng followed behind her like a warrior deity.

Faced with one another, none of them spoke.

What could they say?

What was there to say?

Xiao Shuzhu wanted to step forward and say something, after all, she had a good impression of Gu Nuan, but with her father’s attitude, she as a daughter couldn’t overstep and make a statement above her elders.

Moreover, Xiao Shuju and Xiao Shulan stood blocking her way.

Xiao Shuzhu felt helpless.

Gu Nuan glanced over at their arrangement and immediately realized something. So, she turned her head, and without a sideways glance, followed Uncle Tang’s guidance, continuing to walk forward into Xiao Jianming’s room.

Thinking back to their meeting in Brazil, it had only been a few days, yet earth-shattering changes had occurred.

Gu Nuan secretly sensed the atmosphere here and didn’t notice the presence of Grandma Xiao or her own husband. It was likely that those two weren’t here.

If she were the old crocodile, she would certainly have arranged it this way; there’s no way she’d place her trump card with herself, waiting to be completely caught and lose both people and wealth.

The old crocodile wouldn’t make such a costly and unwise calculation.

Uncle Tang opened the door to the study, Gu Nuan and Zhan Dapeng walked in one after the other, and Uncle Tang closed the door for them, remaining beside Xiao Jianming.

Simply because Xiao Jianming was in poor health and needed someone around to care for him at all times.

In unison, the three Xiao sisters stared at the now-closed study door. Impatient as usual, Xiao Shuju went over first, pressing her ear to the door in a classic eavesdropping pose.

Xiao Shulan couldn’t bear to look.

Xiao Shuzhu followed suit behind the youngest sibling.

Xiao Shulan was even more unable to watch them and went back to the living room to call her daughter who hadn’t returned home.

Inside the study

Xiao Jianming sat behind the large desk, hands clasped, maintaining his usual dignified demeanor.

Zhan Dapeng, however, noticed that the proud black hair seemed to have several new strands of white; was it because he’d been too busy to care for it recently?

Uncle Tang moved over a chair for the pregnant woman, like the last time.

Gu Nuan accepted without refusal.

Xiao Jianming spoke, "Only about half a month has passed since our last meeting."
