"How can that be the same!"

Madam Gu said unhappily that Mr. Gu's younger siblings were all half-siblings, and she truly only had Mr. Gu as her son.

Giving such a large family fortune to an outsider, someone she doesn't even like, would be better than killing her.

"I will cooperate with the doctor and actively seek treatment," Su Ning said calmly before Gu Jingchen could get angry.

Actually, Su Ning's mind was in turmoil when the old lady brought up this matter.

She and Gu Jingchen had finally gotten to where they were, but her body was severely damaged in that car accident.

Mo Da said that her legs could be cured, but it would be very, very difficult for her to have a child.

Even so, Su Ning did not want to give up.

She knew all too well what a family like the Gu family needed!

Without children, the Gu family business will fall into the hands of others, which means that Gu Jingchen has been working for others all these years!

This is something that makes Old Madam Gu heartbroken, and Su Ning can understand it.

"good!"

Madam Gu didn't continue, but she looked at Su Ning with a suspicious gaze.

She needed to find out whether Su Ning was able to have children or not.

Gu Jingchen could see that Old Madam Gu cared, and he also saw the worry in Mr. Gu's eyes. They both needed a child to inherit the Gu family business.

"Don't you find it ridiculous that you want children now?"

Gu Jingchen retorted without giving him any face.

They really went to great lengths to break me up with Su Ning back then.

They drugged him, but wouldn't let him go to Su Ning.

“It’s not you guys, my child and Ningning’s child are both in kindergarten.”

If that child hadn't had that accident, wouldn't he be just over five years old?

All of this was destroyed by Old Madam Gu and her family.

Why would you want a child with Su Ning now? Isn't that a joke?

“That was in the past,” Mr. Gu replied. “We don’t object to your marriage now, but a child is really necessary.”

That's the truth.

If the collateral branches of the Gu family knew that Su Ning couldn't have children, they would definitely be eyeing the position of the head of the Gu family, and that would cause a huge uproar.

Gu Jingchen has the ability to keep them in check, but once they've fallen for him, they won't give up easily.

One is in the open, the other in the shadows; who knows when they'll launch a sneak attack on Gu Jingchen?

"She doesn't need to understand."

Gu Jingchen spoke coldly on Su Ning's behalf, "Whether or not we have a child is a matter between the two of us. If you remain silent and continue to cause trouble for Ningning, don't blame me for disowning you two."

Thinking that Gu Jingchen could really be so ruthless as to drive them out of Nancheng, Old Madam Gu opened her mouth, but held back many of her words.

It seems this matter cannot be discussed in front of Gu Jingchen; I will have to talk to Su Ning alone.

Gu Jingchen must have his own child!

When the child was mentioned, Su Ning's mood noticeably dropped.

She's not someone who likes to take things to heart; even if she has something on her mind, she'll use a smile to deceive others.

Her unusual silence today indicates that Su Ning has truly taken to heart what Grandma Gu and the others said.

On the way back, the two sat in the car, Gu Jingchen held her hand and gently called out, "Ningning!"

His voice pulled Su Ning back to reality. She turned to look at him and gave him a smile.

"I'm fine!"

"I don't need children."

Gu Jingchen said with certainty.

"oh!"

Su Ning responded casually, but she didn't actually believe Gu Jingchen's words.
