Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 951: The female protagonist of the sad drama (6)
The former colleague then said with envy: "I didn't expect Xue Yanzong to be so successful now. Not only has he made a fortune in business, but he also has women who are willing to give birth to sons for him even though they have no status..."
Yu Changfan looked at him in horror: "Is having an illegitimate child something to be envied?"
"Why is it not worth it? Oh, you have a son, of course you are not envious." The former colleague said after looking at the little Yu Chengxuan with his black eyes looking around.
"Aren't sons and daughters both your own children? The leaders have said that it doesn't matter whether you have a boy or a girl. Why are you still so biased towards boys?" Yu Changfan couldn't understand their thoughts. Isn't a daughter his own flesh and blood?
"Tsk tsk, Changfan, why are you so naive? If you were Xue Yanzong and you had such a big business, would you let your daughter take over in the future? If you really let your daughter take over, wouldn't it be giving your family business to others in vain? After all, daughters are going to get married, and they are all money-losing goods..." the former colleague argued.
Yu Changfan looked at the disdainful expression on his face and remained silent. After a while, he found an excuse and left him with the child in his arms. He thought that there was no need to stay with this kind of person whose ideas and concepts were inconsistent with his own.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Yu Changfan returned home with his son. Qiao Shichu had just finished cooking and brought out the dishes. When he saw the father and son, he smiled and said, "You came back just in time. I just finished cooking."
Qiao Shichu saw that Yu Changfan didn't look very good, so he asked him, "What's wrong with you? Is your work not going well?"
Yu Changfan shook his head and said, "No, I just went downstairs and heard some words that made me feel upset."
"What?" Qiao Shichu asked curiously. Yu Changfan was an optimistic person and rarely showed his dislike in such a serious manner.
"It's about favoring boys over girls. They say daughters are a waste of money and that you must give birth to a son to carry on the family line." Yu Changfan said while touching his son's round little head.
Qiao Shichu raised his eyebrows and said, "Who said these words?"
"My former colleague, the one named Li Sheng, said that Xue Yanzong had a son with a woman outside, so he doesn't have to worry about no one inheriting his business in the future." Yu Changfan said depressedly.
Qiao Shichu was shocked. So Xue Yanzong already had an illegitimate child at this time? It seemed that he would soon go bankrupt.
"Xue Yanzong brought his illegitimate son home?" asked Qiao Shichu.
"That's not the case yet, but will he bring it back? Won't Ning Guoyun make trouble with him?" Yu Changfan paused and said.
"Can Ning Guoyun make trouble with him? She wishes Xue Yanzong was the emperor. Xue Yanzong's words were the imperial decree and she would never disobey them. If Xue Yanzong really brought the illegitimate child home, she would just take care of him happily and treat him as her own child." Qiao Shichu sneered. Isn't this the case in the original world's plot?
When Yu Changfan heard what Qiao Shichu said, a complicated expression suddenly appeared on his face. He said, "Ning Guoyun...Alas, I don't know how to evaluate her. It seems that she never has her own ideas, and she will not protect the rights and interests of herself and her two daughters at all."
"Forget it, that's someone else's business, it's none of our business." Yu Changfan quickly put the fact that Xue Yanzong had an illegitimate child behind him.
However, he never expected that Xue Yanzong not only really brought the illegitimate son home, but also publicly held a hundred-day banquet for the illegitimate son.
"Changfan, you and Xiaoqiao have to come tomorrow. Haha, this is my first son, and the hundred-day banquet must be held in a lively manner! By the way, it will be held in the largest Lijia Hotel in the city, so don't go to the wrong place! Just like that, I have to notify other people..." Xue Yanzong ran over with a rosy face one evening to inform Yu Changfan, and then left in a hurry.
Yu Changfan was stunned. After a while, he said to Qiao Shichu in a speechless voice, "Why did Xue Yanzong hold such a grand banquet for his illegitimate son? His two legitimate daughters have never held any banquets. He is too partial. Isn't he afraid of being laughed at by others?"
Qiao Shichu smiled and shook his head, saying, "He is thick-skinned, and maybe others will say that he is capable. He can control his wife at home and make young women give birth to his sons. He is a winner in life."
"His wife really can tolerate it." Yu Changfan couldn't understand this family.
"The couple likes the pot with the lid. Maybe Ning Guoyun is not angry but very happy instead?" Qiao Shichu said with a smile.
Yu Changfan looked at her in surprise: "She is still happy that her husband brought his illegitimate child home? Why?!"
"Because my dear husband finally has a son, the Xue family will no longer be extinct just because she has only two daughters left." Qiao Shichu said in a deliberately coquettish voice.
Yu Changfan shuddered all over and quickly said to Qiao Shichu: "Wife, don't talk like that, I'm getting goosebumps!"
Qiao Shichu was suddenly overjoyed and couldn't stop laughing.
After all, they were neighbors, so Yu Changfan and Qiao Shichu really went to attend Xue Jizu’s hundred-day banquet the next day.
Yes, Xue Yanzong named his illegitimate son Xue Jizu, which was the consistent naming style of their Xue family. They did not hide their purpose at all. Wasn't the purpose of Xue Yanzong's son to inherit the Xue family's incense?
"Haha! God didn't let me, Xue Yanzong, down by letting me have a son when I was thirty years old! From now on, our Xue family has a male heir to carry on the family line! Today is my son's hundredth day. I hope my son will be healthy and smart, and inherit my business and carry it forward!" Xue Yanzong gave a joyful speech, expressing his pride and excitement after having a son to the fullest.
Qiao Shichu quickly looked at Ning Guoyun and found that there was no unhappiness on her face. Instead, she looked gentle. She looked at the baby boy in Xue's mother's arms with a smile on her lips. Her two daughters sat next to her, both with confused looks on their faces, not understanding what their father meant at all.
It’s better not to understand, so as to avoid unnecessary sadness.
Xue Yanzong's face was flushed as he held the wine in his hand and chatted with others, laughing from time to time, obviously very happy.
He now looks like a successful big boss. Even though he is only 30 years old, he already has a pot belly like a woman who is seven or eight months pregnant. He walks with a zigzag step, and with his heavy weight, he walks very much like a duck. But he doesn't think he is funny. Instead, he thinks he is very stylish. He holds his chin up and accepts compliments and flattery from people around him with a smug look on his face.
Qiao Shichu glanced at the fat and big-eared Xue Yanzong for a few times, and then he couldn't help but look at the handsome and tall Yu Changfan beside him to refresh his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Yu Changfan saw her looking at him and thought she was in trouble, so he asked with concern.
"It's nothing, I just think you are much more handsome than Xue Yanzong. Fortunately, you didn't get fat and ugly like him..." Qiao Shichu looked relieved.
