"Why did you suddenly come back today? Why didn't you go to the company?" Since Bai Ru'an joined Songbai Group, Bai Junbai has had more time to rest and often makes excuses not to go to the company. Today, he is just being lazy and is still standing at home.

"You didn't go to the company either, did you? Xiaozhu and I can come back whenever we want. Do you want to dictate when we can come back?" Bai Ruan retorted immediately.

"How can you talk like that? I'm your second uncle. Where's your basic respect for your elders? You unfilial nephew." Bai Junbai raised an eyebrow and retorted leisurely.

This time, Bai Ruan ignored him and instead brought Lin Xiazhu over to greet Bai Zhengping, "Grandpa, Xiaozhu and I have some good news to tell you."

After Lin Xiazhu came in and greeted everyone, she didn't say anything more. She stood quietly beside Bai Ru'an, smiling calmly.

"What? It's really happening! That's wonderful! My rebirth is finally here!" Bai Zhengping sat up excitedly and said repeatedly, "Xiaozhu, don't stand there. Sit down and rest. Don't tire yourself out. You must take care of your health."

"Dad, that's an exaggeration. She's as strong as an ox. Standing for a while won't tire your great-grandson out," Bai Jun retorted jokingly.

"Shut up, you unfilial son! If I rely on you, I'm afraid I'll never see my beloved great-grandson in my lifetime. You'll just be a bachelor to the end. There's no hope for you." Bai Zhengping was furious. He had been smiling gently at his son just a moment ago, but now he was pointing his cane at him and cursing.

I wanted to rush up to him and hit him with his cane to wake him up.

Bai Junbo was most annoyed by his father bringing up marriage. He rubbed his temples with a headache, stood up and said, "I'm going to the company, Dad. Calm down. The hospital said you have high blood pressure and shouldn't have too many emotional fluctuations. It's not good for your health."

"Don't upset me, and I'll live to be a hundred years old." Bai Zhengping clutched his chest, huffing and puffing. In fact, he was quite healthy, but he liked to act so vulnerable in front of his youngest son.

Bai Junbai was afraid of him doing this. Although the doctor said his father was in good health, he was still getting old and he was worried. He wanted to get out of there as soon as possible to avoid getting in his way.

Before leaving, he congratulated his nephew and niece-in-law, saying, "Congratulations! The important task of continuing the Bai family line now rests entirely on you two. Otherwise, your grandfather would blame me to death."

With a "bang," an antique vase flew past to his left. Every time, Bai Zhengping's hands would tremble and he would miss the target, only letting it fly past to the side. Actually, it was because he was heartbroken and couldn't bear to actually smash it.

"Get out, get far away. If you can't find someone to marry, don't come home." He'd said this countless times, but each time he'd forget it. After his youngest son had stayed away for a few days and came back, he wouldn't mention it again.

"Dad, I'm really leaving. I won't be back for the next few days, so don't worry about me." In the past, Bai Junbai would just leave without explaining anything.

Since his grandfather passed away and his father has gotten older in recent years, he seems to have become much more sensible. Whenever the father and son have a quarrel and he wants to go out and have fun for a few days, he will tell Bai Zhengping in advance so as not to really upset him.

After hearing the car drive away, Bai Zhengping sighed, "Sigh, I really don't know who this kid took after. He's like a heartless person. No one can truly catch his eye. He's getting on in years, but he still refuses to get married and have children."

Well, marriage is secondary. Bai Zhengping hopes his son will have a child. The number of his children is unknown, but none of them can conceive. Could it be that his son has a hidden illness?

That shouldn't be the case. It's just that he's taken too many precautions, managing to avoid having any illegitimate children. Bai Zhengping certainly doesn't like illegitimate children, but he's at his wit's end. He doesn't want his son to be alone in his old age; having an heir would be good too.

"Great, Xiaozhu, you really didn't disappoint me. Grandpa is very happy. Tell me, is there anything you want? As long as I can give it to you, I'll give it to you." This meant anything except company shares.

The document they had was only valid after the baby was born. Now that Lin Xiazhu was pregnant, Bai Zhengping was happy and wanted to give her a big gift.

"Why not take it?" Lin Xiazhu thought for a moment and said, "I don't really want anything right now. Can I talk to Grandpa about it later?"

"Alright, then take your time to think it over. Tell me when you've made up your mind. From now on, you can live in the old house and stop going to work. The Bai family can support you." Bai Zhengping spoke, his tone firm.

Lin Xiazhu said helplessly, "Grandpa, I can try to stay at home for the first three months, but it's impossible not to go out. Once the pregnancy is stable, I want to go to a coffee shop. Staying at home all the time is boring, and it will make me feel bad. A bad mood will affect the baby, so please don't restrict me."

He knew she wasn't so obedient and always liked to go out, but he knew he couldn't stop her, so he was just testing the waters. "I'm not saying you can't go out, but you have to move back to the old house and try not to live outside. Your little factory will be handed over to someone else to manage, so you can go and do whatever you want..."

Bai Zhengping certainly couldn't hide anything about Lin Xiazhu. He could find out anything he wanted with just a word. Not to mention how much wealth Lin Xiazhu had in the capital and what investments she had made, he knew everything about the situation in Changhe County.

For others, those businesses and properties might be considered very wealthy, but for Bai Zhengping, they were nothing. However, Lin Xiazhu liked to cause trouble, and Bai Ru'an indulged her, so Bai Zhengping didn't care much.

Otherwise, according to his wishes, he would have told Lin Xiazhu to stop messing around long ago. The money she earned from the location could be earned by Songbai Group in a single day. She could live off it all, and even if she did nothing for the rest of her life, she wouldn't be able to finish it all, and she could leave a lot for her descendants.

Lin Xiazhu listened to him quietly without interrupting, only nodding in agreement. Anyway, she would continue doing what she was supposed to do afterward. If she really angered her grandfather, Xiao An would take the fall.

"I can tell you weren't listening. Here's a card with two million in it, it's for your pregnancy support." Bai Zhengping handed over the card without giving him a chance to refuse.

Got it? I'm giving you money. Take this money and stay home. Don't wander around and scare my precious great-grandson.

Bai Ruan took it and put it in Lin Xiazhu's hand. This time, he was on his grandfather's side and wished he could hide Lin Xiazhu at home until she gave birth.

Of course, he only dared to think about it in his heart and didn't dare to actually do it. He also knew that it was too unreasonable to detain someone. What's the difference between detaining someone and putting them under house arrest?

If he were capable of doing something like that, Xiaozhu would beat him to a pulp.

Seeing that Lin Xiazhu did not refuse and accepted the card, Bai Zhengping was in a good mood. He thought, "He who takes a man's money is bound to listen to him." Even if his granddaughter-in-law did not listen to him completely, she would at least listen to him more. So he ordered the kitchen to make a nutritious soup.

Lin Xiazhu was happy to receive the money. She smiled and carefully hid the card. Now she understood why so many people were eager to marry into wealthy families. They had money; they could spend millions at a time. What else did they need to do?

Just use salted fish.
