"Shaoyong..." Zhou Huiyu tugged at Gu Shaoyong's arm and said reproachfully, "You clearly have good news to tell Dad, why are you arguing with him again?"
"Hmph!" Upon hearing Zhou Huiyu's voice, Gu Chonghu let out another heavy snort.
From the moment Gu Shaoyong and his wife appeared at the door, he deliberately ignored Zhou Huiyu's presence, as if he couldn't see her, just to embarrass this woman who had seduced his son.
Who would have thought that this woman would be so shameless, completely oblivious to their disregard, and even presumptuously trying to act as a mediator between them? Did she even know her place?!
If it weren't for her, would her son have gone against her?
Therefore, Gu Chonghu couldn't help but snort coldly to express his dissatisfaction and disdain.
Gu Shaoyong's face remained 'cold,' and Zhou Huiyu tugged at him a few more times before he softened his expression. He walked to Gu Chonghu's side and said, "Dad, Huiyu and I do have good news to tell you this time. Haven't you been complaining that Huiyu's difficult childbirth damaged her health? Before, my people found a highly skilled folk doctor in the Southern Province who said he had cured several patients with similar conditions to Huiyu."
"I just took Huiyu to see him. For the past six months, Huiyu has been receiving treatment from that folk doctor in the southern province, and the results have been very significant. This time, I took advantage of the time to pick Huiyu up for the New Year. The folk doctor said that Huiyu's health has almost fully recovered, and as long as she pays attention to avoiding cold and raw foods, there shouldn't be any problem with her conceiving normally."
“I’m so happy, that’s why I brought Huiyu back with me as soon as I got off the plane to congratulate you.”
"Hmph!" Gu Chonghu snorted coldly again, saying irritably, "It's just that she can give birth, not that she's pregnant or that she's already given birth. What's so great about that?"
Although that's what he said, everyone present could clearly hear that his tone had softened considerably compared to his previous two cold snorts.
After all, the reason he previously disliked Zhou Huiyu was not only because Gu Shaoyong had betrayed his father for Zhou Huiyu, but also because Zhou Huiyu could not have children.
Zhou Huiyu is unable to have children, and the fourth son is unwilling to remarry. So, if he passes the Gu family business to the fourth son, who will the fourth son inherit it in the future?
Are they descendants of the eldest son?
It's not that the eldest son's descendants are not allowed, but... there are some things he doesn't say, doesn't hear, and doesn't ask about, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know.
Moreover, he didn't believe that the fourth brother would remain unaware for his entire life. If the fourth brother knew those things, then... based on his understanding of the fourth brother, he feared that the fourth brother would rather adopt a godson to inherit the Gu family than pass the Gu family down to the eldest brother's descendants.
Moreover, not to mention that the eldest son himself was all talk and no action, and mediocre in talent, he didn't have high hopes for his two sons either. He had risked his life, fighting tooth and nail, to finally bring the Gu family out of that tiny island in the southwest. Naturally, he didn't want to see his descendants retreat back to their old ways, or even... lose their foothold in the southwest.
This is also the main reason why he has been annoyed over the years.
Now that they know the fourth son's wife is pregnant, the tension in their hearts naturally eased a little. With that ease, their tone naturally became more natural. No matter how hard they tried, it just didn't sound right.
