Chapter 216: Preparing Wedding Dresses for Other Women
Madam Xiao's wise and deep eyes widened inch by inch.
"What did you say?" she asked excitedly and in disbelief.
Su Man repeated: "I have the flesh and blood of the Xiao family."
Madam Xiao opened and closed her lips, then closed them again, “Are you telling the truth?”
Su Man looked at Madam Xiao without saying a word, her whole body dignified and calm.
silent.
But it is more resounding.
"This...this...is such great news!!" Old Madam Xiao was filled with surprise, her joy gradually expanding, overshadowing her previous shock. "If that's the case, why do you still want...still want a divorce? You're pregnant with Bei Sheng's child, so the position of mistress of the Xiao family must belong to you. What do those little mistresses out there mean to you? Why make yourself and your child suffer?"
After saying this, the old man's face turned cold and dignified.
"What's more, this is the incense of the Xiao family. I can't let the child live with you outside. You want to divorce Bei Sheng, this matter is even more non-negotiable."
Su Man said, "Grandma, if it were that simple, I wouldn't be so stupid as to cut off my own path. I'm not a petty person who can't tolerate any sand in my eyes."
"What does this mean?"
Old Madam Xiao was a shrewd person and she heard the clues in Su Man's words.
"Beisheng, is there something else you're hiding from me? Tell grandma. If you have any grievances or injustices, grandma will take care of it for you."
Su Man's eyelashes trembled, as if a sore spot had been touched, and she looked very aggrieved.
Madam Xiao said, “Just say it, don’t worry.”
Su Man finally spoke as if she had to say something, "Grandma, do you know that Luo Yan will never be able to have children again?"
"I don't know about that," said Mrs. Xiao, "but what does this have to do with your divorce?"
"Luo Yan is unable to have children because of Bei Sheng. Bei Sheng feels guilty towards Luo Yan, so he has always wanted to find a woman to bear children for Luo Yan. The child in my belly may not be mine when I give birth in the future. If that is the case, I would rather not let this child be born."
Old Madam Xiao was shocked and confused, and her expression changed several times, and she was confused and uneasy.
It was as if he couldn't believe that his beloved grandson would do such a cruel thing.
Suman knew the time had come.
She struck while the iron was hot: "Either, let me divorce, and I promise to let the child be born safely. Or, you can restrain me and not allow me to divorce, but the child is with me. If I don't want to take good care of the pregnancy, I'm afraid the Xiao family's incense will not be born so smoothly."
Old Madam Xiao stared at Su Man.
Just now she was threatening Su Man, but now, Su Man has outmaneuvered her.
"How can I believe that you are pregnant?" said Mrs. Xiao.
Su Man took out her cell phone and gave the photo of the pregnancy test report and the doctor's diagnosis to Mrs. Xiao for review.
After reading it, Mrs. Xiao felt mixed emotions.
The good news is that the Xiao family has a successor.
What made me angry was Su Man’s attitude.
"It seems that you came prepared." Old Madam Xiao snorted and laughed.
"I don't mean to make you angry. This is all just to protect myself." Su Man's attitude was humble and low-key. He was just a poor soldier with no one to rely on, and he was not aggressive at all.
Old Madam Xiao fell into deep thought.
She was considering, weighing, and pondering what to do next.
A long time passed, and the only sound in the room was the whimpering of the draft. The shadows of the half-human-high potted plants fell on the ground, swaying back and forth.
Su Man's back was straight and slightly stiff.
It is impossible to say that she didn't feel a bit uneasy.
She was actually gambling too.
I bet that Old Madam Xiao believes that Xiao Beisheng will do something ridiculous for Luo Yan.
I also bet that Mrs. Xiao will put the fetus first and stop preventing Su Man from getting a divorce.
a long time.
Madam Xiao's expression eased slightly, and she asked, "I guess Bei Sheng doesn't know about your pregnancy yet, right?"
"Yes." Suman said, "This is another thing I want to ask of you. I hope that for the sake of your great-grandson, you will not tell him that I am pregnant with his child."
Madam Xiao hummed in an ambiguous tone: "If you divorce Bei Sheng, you will no longer be the daughter-in-law of our Xiao family. Can your child still be my great-grandson?"
"No matter who I am or where I am, the blood in this child is still the blood of the Xiao family. He is Bei Sheng's child, and this is an indisputable fact. I will raise him and bring him back to you, and he will call you great-grandmother." Su Man said, "Every mother is selfish and cannot bear to see the child she carried for ten months recognize another woman as the mother."
This is the key point, and Mrs. Xiao also understands it.
"Okay, I promise you." Old Madam Xiao finally gave in.
The stone in Su Man's heart fell to the ground with a bang.
The breath stuck in the throat finally released.
"I agreed to this because you are honest enough to admit that you are selfish, and because you are harmless enough. If you cannot meet these two conditions in the future, I will not let the blood of our Xiao family wander around. Not to mention raising him, I will take him back to the Xiao family immediately, and you will never recognize him again."
"Su Man understands." Su Man lowered her head slightly, her long swan neck bent, looking humble and weak.
Madam Xiao seemed extremely exhausted, "You can go."
Su Man bowed slightly and said, "Take care of yourself."
Su Man left and went downstairs, and Mrs. Xiao called her.
"In the future, even if you divorce Bei Sheng, please come back to see me often. I need to see my great-grandson more often."
"Yes."
Suman comes downstairs.
Old Madam Xiao sat on a pearwood chair, slightly lost in thought.
"Old Madam." Aunt Mei came out from the next room and walked to Old Madam Xiao.
"Amei, why is this Buddhist temple getting colder and colder?"
Aunt Mei helped Madam Xiao to her feet. "It's autumn now, and houses facing west are always so cold. But the sun is shining brightly outside, I'll go with you to bask in the sun."
downstairs.
Xiao Beisheng saw Su Man coming down and hurried to greet her, "What did grandma tell you? If grandma said anything to force you, don't be angry."
Suman glanced at him.
He thought that Madam Xiao had succeeded in stopping Su Man, and was now embarrassed in front of Su Man.
Suman said: "I have had a good chat with my grandmother. The legal proceedings will continue according to the procedures. If you can cooperate with me, we can save a lot of trouble and get a divorce directly."
Xiao Beisheng frowned.
But he thought Su Man was angry that Old Madam Xiao forced her, so he didn't take it to heart.
Su Man was walking out, and he wanted to follow her, but Su Man said, "You don't have to see me off. I can go back by myself."
Su Man was very persistent. Xiao Beisheng gritted his teeth but finally didn't follow her.
Su Man was angry now, so he couldn't continue to annoy her.
Standing in place, he watched Su Man walk out of the yard, farther and farther away. Finally, her figure turned a corner and disappeared from his sight. Xiao Beisheng felt empty in his heart.
Aunt Mei helped Madam Xiao to the front of the courtyard. Xiao Beisheng walked over and said, "Grandma, what did you talk about with Su Man just now? You don't have to push her too hard and make her rebellious."
Madam Xiao glanced at him and said, "If you don't want to go to court, just follow her wishes and agree to a divorce."
"What did you say?" Xiao Beisheng thought he was hallucinating.
"Since you don't want to live a good life with her, then divorce her."
"When have I never wanted to live a good life with her?" Xiao Beisheng felt very wronged.
"You know what a bastard thing you have done." Old Madam Xiao was angry.
After saying that, he waved his hand and walked away.
Xiao Beisheng was completely bewildered and increasingly frustrated. He complained to Aunt Mei, who was still there, "Grandma is also playing dumb with me. Doesn't Grandma like Su Man very much? Why did you agree to a divorce?"
Aunt Mei sighed, "Young Master, ask yourself, did you marry the young lady just to make wedding clothes for another woman?"
