Chapter: 3062
“Yeah,” nodded the old lady Xiao. She said, “I understand what you mean, but Weiwei has never wanted to share who that nobleman is. It leaves me feeling anxious.”
Then she continued, “By the way, Chang Gan, can you talk to Weiwei alone? Ask her how things are going with that nobleman. If she still isn’t clear, encourage her to move things along. It’s best to settle things sooner rather than later!”
Xiao Changgan looked a bit embarrassed and replied, “Mom, how can I talk to Weiwei about this? It feels like I’m pushing her to marry!”
Old Mrs. Xiao quickly responded, “You are the best person to ask. With what happened with Xiao Yiqian, Weiwei might not want to talk to me. She won’t open up to me like she would to you.”
Xiao Hailong jumped in and said, “Grandma, maybe I should talk to Weiwei. We’re closer in age, so it would be easier for us to communicate.”
“Not a chance!” Old Mrs. Xiao shot him a look. “You’re the worst at expressing yourself in the whole Xiao family!”
Xiao Hailong protested, “Grandma! What do you mean? I think I communicate just fine!”
Old Mrs. Xiao shook her head in disapproval. “If you were as good as you think, Dong Ruolin would have already been part of our family! If you had taken action when you had the chance, we wouldn’t be in this situation now!”
She sighed in frustration. “But Hailong, aside from that, the only thing you’re good at is stirring trouble! If you hadn’t been talking bad about Xiao Churan in my ear, I wouldn’t have changed my mind and supported her.”
“You are now the director!”
Xiao Churan used to be like a puppet. The only thing she wouldn’t do was listen to me about divorcing Charlie Wade. She followed all my other orders. But ever since you got involved, she started to think for herself and even wanted to see me. I won’t be swayed by her feelings!
As she spoke, she turned to Xiao Hailong with a frown. “Hailong, I really don’t like using those four words, but it’s your fault!”
Xiao Hailong felt scolded by his grandma. He looked down, embarrassed and speechless.
Xiao Changgan quickly jumped in, “Mom, don’t blame Hailong. We went through some tough times recently, but honestly, who hasn’t faced challenges in life? Look at Xiao Changkun and his family. They had their struggles too, but things got better for them eventually. Weiwei’s career is doing well. If we can find success in both love and work, maybe our family will thrive again!”
Mrs. Xiao sighed, “I used to think my grandson was great, but now I see that my granddaughter is more dependable!”
She sighed again, “If I had known how capable Weiwei was, I should have let her run the company over a year ago. Maybe the Xiao Group wouldn’t have gone bankrupt.”
