The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex

Chapter 1409: Their Grandchild

Ye Hao led his wife to the sofa and made her sit down.

He still looked very upset but the fury in his eyes had subsided a little.

He frowned and said, “I’ll handle Xi Xi’s problem. We should raise our grandchild at the Ye family home after she gives birth. Jiang Cheng isn’t worthy of our daughter.” He used the words ‘not worthy’ to describe Jiang Cheng.

He didn’t like anything about Jiang Cheng, so he didn’t feel comfortable entrusting his daughter’s future to this man.

He Xiyan looked at him in surprise and confusion. She couldn’t understand why he was so against Jiang Cheng and Xi Xi.

“How could we do that? The child would be an illegitimate and fatherless child if we do that,” she said.

He Xiyan had a different view since she was a woman. She wanted the best for her grandchild and after all, a child would need his father.

“A child doesn’t need to have a father. We’ll raise him...” Ye Hao said.

He Xiyan was left speechless by his attitude.

She had guessed that her husband might be against this pregnancy and force their daughter to have an abortion, but she didn’t expect him to react in this manner.

If her daughter were to be a single mom, how would she be able to talk about her child when it was time for her to find a marriage partner?

“Let’s ask for Jiang Cheng’s opinion when he’s here later,” she said.

She couldn’t bear to let this happen and hoped for the sake of her daughter and her grandchild, that she would be able to give birth without damaging her reputation in the process.

Xi Xi was speaking to her boyfriend downstairs and this call had been ongoing for almost 30 minutes.

Jiang Cheng kept trying to explain himself over the phone and made a vow.

“Xi Xi, let me explain this matter to your parents tomorrow morning. Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll agree to let us get married. I’ll call my parents to break the news to them as well. They’d be very pleased and they’re both very fond of you,” he said.

Xi Xi sat on the sofa and she seemed a little fatigued. She closed her eyes and tiredness was written all over her face.

“Come back soon then,” she said. She sounded very calm and there wasn’t any anger or disappointment in her voice.

“Oh, please don’t snap back if my dad were to berate you,” she added.

“I’ve got this, don’t worry. Please turn in soon and stop thinking too much into this. Wait for me to come back and we’ll settle this problem together,” he said.

Xi Xi wrapped up the call with him and rose from the sofa. She seemed a little pale under the lamplight as she gently placed a hand over her flat belly. Her belly was firm and flat but there was a new life growing within her.

This was her child and she would be a mom in a few month’s time.

“I will not abandon you, babe...” she thought to herself.

——

He Xiyan and Ye Hao couldn’t sleep that night.

As Xi Xi’s parents, they felt very upset that this had happened to her.

He Xiyan even blamed herself for failing to educate her daughter on such matters. They had doted on their daughter too much, so Xi Xi had stepped into society with a lot of naivety. She was also bold and rushed into things without stopping to reconsider the consequences.

She felt as though she had failed as a mother for spoiling her daughter.

Ye Hao pulled her into his arms.

They were wide awake even though it was 3 AM in the morning.

“Yan Yan, go to bed,” he said comfortingly.

He Xiyan was sleepy but she couldn’t fall asleep.

“Why do you think Xi Xi had been so silly?” she couldn’t help but say with a sigh.

Ye Hao wrapped his arms around his wife’s shoulder.
