Chapter 729 [(*^▽^*)]
Xue Zhengyang thought he had figured it out and blurted out, "You don't need to worry, they can't get past you, they're just little toys kept outside."
Although she already knew about this, Du Anxian hadn't thought about it at all. She was just losing her appetite because of her pregnancy, but she didn't expect Xue Zhengyang to say such a thing.
Du Anxian opened her mouth as if to say something, but she didn't know what to say. "Really?"
In the end, only these two words came out.
Xue Zhengyang looked at her still very unpleasant expression. It might be due to a change in her mindset, or it might be because Du Anxian was indeed getting on in years, or it might be because she was pregnant.
It has made her look older now; the wrinkles around her eyes, as well as her eye bags and nasolabial folds, are much more noticeable, making her look as if she has aged ten years.
Xue Zhengyang has always liked young and beautiful women, and that was one of the reasons he took a liking to Du Anxian.
He had originally wanted to comfort Du Anxian, but seeing her expression, he immediately lost interest. "Alright, you are still my wife, and always will be. As for the rest, don't worry about it. Just focus on your pregnancy."
Du Anxian wasn't bothered at first, but Xue Zhengyang kept bringing it up, saying things like "don't worry about anything else," and asked, "What do you mean? You mean those two children have to be born?"
Xue Zhengyang: "Is that not okay? It's not like we can't afford to raise them."
Du Anxian: "Then what do you take me for?"
Xue Zhengyang blurted out, "Don't you know that yourself?"
Du Anxian blinked, looking shocked. She hadn't expected Xue Zhengyang to say such hurtful things so calmly. "I know...yes."
She nodded as she spoke, "I know, how could I not know?"
Xue Zhengyang frowned. "Alright, stop talking. Eat properly. You're pregnant now. If you don't eat well, it's not good for the baby."
Du Anxian, as if she had thought of something, said directly, "In that case, we can bring the two children back and put them in my name, and treat it as if I gave birth to triplets this time, how about that?"
Xue Zhengyang was a little shocked when he heard her say that, his eyes widening, "Are you serious?"
Du Anxian said, "What's the big deal about being serious? If those two women raised them outside, that would be a disaster. It's better to raise them by my side from a young age, then they'll only recognize me as their mother."
Of course, she's just saying that for now; she still needs to figure out if she can get rid of those two children. If she really can't, then she'll bring them back and raise them herself.
It's like those two mistresses who kept the child, then used the child to get close to Xue Zhengyang, and finally did the same thing I did before, kicked me out, and then they became the official Mrs. Xue.
Xue Zhengyang: "That makes sense."
Du Anxian said, "But... just this once. At least this time you used the excuse that I'm also pregnant to cover up your shame. If there's a next time, your reputation will be completely ruined."
Xue Zhengyang thought for a moment, put down his chopsticks, sat down next to her, and took her hand. "I know you're still the one who truly cares for me. Don't worry, this will only happen once. It will never happen again."
Du Anxian smiled and nodded, "Mm."
And just like that, the couple made the decision in a few words, without even consulting Xue Qian upstairs, let alone Xue Rui.
In any case, Xue Rui would never give more money. The dividends given to Xue Zhengyang were only because of Xue Zhengyang. If Xue Zhengyang died, then this money would not fall into the hands of Xue Qian or anyone else.
Even if these people inherited Xue Zhengyang's bloodline and were his biological children.
At that time, Xue Zhengyang's children will only be able to inherit the cash in Xue Zhengyang's account or the real estate under his name, and nothing else.
Of course, what they didn't know was that Xue Qian upstairs had heard every word they said, his eyes wide and bloodshot.
"..."
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui, who had been monitoring them, witnessed this scene and even overheard part of the conversation, which was quite shocking to them.
However, it must be said that Du Anxian's move was indeed very clever, a strategic retreat.
Xue Rui said, "Xue Qian will absolutely not let things develop like this."
Lin Leyou: "So all we have to do is wait?"
Xue Rui lowered her head and kissed him.
Lin Leyou said, "From now on, we need to keep a close eye on Xue Qian and those two pregnant women."
Just two days later, on New Year's Eve, they received another shocking piece of news: two more of Xue Zhengyang's mistresses had been found to be pregnant, bringing the total to four!
Du Anxian was among the first to know the news; she had to know, as one of Xue Zhengyang's assistants was someone she had arranged to find out about these things.
On New Year's Eve, he was so angry that he was sent to the hospital.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Xue Zhengyang went to the hospital, and Xue Qian followed him.
Seeing this scene of the family of three at the hospital through the mechanical spider, Lin Leyou suddenly sighed, "Are we going to have to pretend to be quintuplets now?"
Xue Rui was having dinner with his grandfather at the old house at the time. He couldn't do anything after hearing this, since he had no feelings for these people anyway.
I'm just worried about whether Grandpa knows about this news, and if he does, whether he'll be too angry.
He glanced at Old Master Xue without making a sound and noticed that he had only aged a bit. Did he know or not?
Old Master Xue, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
Knowing that his days were numbered, he had completely calmed down. Xue Rui had also taken full control of the company's affairs and even completed a number of industrial upgrades. Now, the Xue Group had expanded beyond Z Province, reaching markets across the country and even overseas.
He was right after all; his real grandson was indeed talented and capable, unlike that shameful thing.
Xue Rui shook his head, "It's nothing, just a small matter."
Old Master Xue was taken aback. "You knew?"
Xue Rui was also taken aback. "Grandpa, you found out too?"
Old Master Xue sighed, "You don't need to worry about this."
Xue Rui, "It has nothing to do with us?"
Old Master Xue, "Hmm?"
Xue Rui was puzzled. Wasn't that wrong? Or were they talking about different things?
"Grandpa, what is it?"
Grandpa Xue said, "Of course it's your life's most important event. Grandpa will help you choose one carefully."
Xue Rui said calmly, "Grandpa, the Xue Group is now going global. I am confident that I can make the Xue Group bigger and stronger within ten years. It would be too much of a loss to seek help now."
Old Master Xue was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized, "That makes sense."
He had previously only looked at women with some reputation in Z province, since he wasn't qualified to look for someone famous nationwide yet. But his grandson was confident and capable, so it would be much better to wait a few years before looking.
“You know what you're doing, so you can handle it yourself. I'm the one who's getting a little anxious. You're capable, and at this stage, you don't need this kind of help. Let's talk about it when we encounter bigger problems later.”
At this point, he sighed, "I'm just a little sentimental. This old man probably won't be able to see the day you get married."
Xue Rui: "It's okay, I'll burn the wedding photos you have on hand."
Old Master Xue coughed twice, "You think you're so great!"
Xue Rui said, "Thank you, Grandpa, for worrying about me."
Grandpa Xue waved his hand, "Alright, even though you say that, you must be thinking that I'm meddling in your business. These days, young people value freedom in love, so you can choose for yourself. Just make sure you find someone who is a good match for you, that's the best way."
Xue Rui: "Don't worry, Grandpa, it's definitely a perfect match."
He and Lin Leyou were in similar positions, one a player and the other a resident, and their item points were not much different. In fact, he had the advantage.
If it weren't for his rescues several times, I wouldn't be alive today, and I wouldn't even have so many points and items. I might still be struggling at the intermediate player level.
The billions of points displayed on the system panel, and the gold and purple equipment in the backpack, are all thanks to Lin Leyou to some extent...
Only then did Grandpa Xue ask, "By the way, what were you trying to say just now?"
Xue Rui paused for a moment, remembering that he had thought his grandfather was talking about Xue Zhengyang's side. He fell silent, unsure whether he should speak.
Old Master Xue said, "Judging from your expression, could it be that unfilial son?"
Xue Rui, "Grandpa..."
Old Master Xue said, "What kind of trouble has he gotten himself into? You don't need to hide it from me. You already know, and I'll find out sooner or later anyway."
Xue Rui: "His... mistress is pregnant."
Old Master Xue's expression didn't change at all; as expected, he didn't take him seriously at all. "Is that so? How many?"
Xue Rui was silent for a while before saying, "It seems there are four, and Du Anxian is pregnant too."
Old Master Xue was somewhat shocked. "Five?"
By the way, in Mr. Xue's eyes, Du Anxian was also Xue Zhengyang's mistress, even though they had already registered their marriage.
Xue Rui nodded, "Five."
Grandpa Xue's expression gradually became somewhat strange. "He may not be good at other things, but he's very good at this."
Xue Rui, "Grandpa?"
Grandpa Xue's expression changed several times, but in the end he waved his hand and said, "Anyway, he gets dividends. Even if it's fifty, let alone five, it's more than enough to support him. There's no need to worry about him."
Xue Rui, “…”
Grandpa Xue stood up and walked forward unsteadily. "Stay here tonight. Your usual room has been prepared for you."
Xue Rui nodded. "Okay."
Upon returning to his room, he immediately scaled the wall and left, leaving his combat puppet lying on the bed, pretending to be asleep.
Lin Leyou was at home at the time. Xue Rui had told him that he was coming back. He had initially said that he didn't need to, but Xue Rui insisted, so there was nothing he could do.
