Chapter 204: Remember Your Legacy While You’re Alive.

Chapter 204

Wang Yue caused a scene but did not get any benefit from it. Instead, she lost face in front of her mother-in-law and failed in her attempt.

When she went out, one could see the anger on her face. Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

Pei JianGuo also felt very awkward. He did not know whether to leave or stay, especially when faced with Xia's contemptuous look, Old Pei's sadness, and Grandpa An and Grandma An's disappointed expressions, which made him very uncomfortable.

"JianGuo, you should go back too," today's incident hit Old Pei hard and he could not suppress the disappointment in his heart.

This child has indeed been spoiled. He is neither smart nor responsible.

But things have come to this point. His personality was already set in his twenties. It would not be easy to change him.

Pei JianGuo's face turned even paler. After this incident, he could imagine how his family would see him in the future, and how others would think of him.

He did not even have the courage to salvage the situation.

When he returned home, he could still hear his mother complaining about how Old Pei no longer cared for Pei JianGuo now that he had other grandchildren and was biased towards Pei Jing's son.

Pei JianGuo did not say a word. He just closed the door a little harder, making a bang sound that startled both Wang Yue and Pei Shuangshuang who was listening to the radio.

After recovering from the shock, Wang Yue got even angrier. She banged on Pei JianGuo's door and started shouting, "You deadbeat, who are you trying to scare? I'm your mother. What's wrong with me nagging at you for a bit? You even dare to show me attitude..."

Suddenly, Pei JianGuo felt a surge of anger rushing to his head. He flung open the door, his face red and neck thick as he roared: "Exactly because you are my mother, can't you think for me before doing anything? Causing such a scene at grandfather's place without considering the severity, how will the family look at me in the future? Grandfather is still alive. Do I seem so eager for his inheritance? Besides, there are still dad and second and third uncle. Even if grandfather is gone, his belongings won't possibly go to just our family. Grandfather won't exclude second and third uncle and give everything to my dad."

Although Pei JianGuo was spoiled, he had a clear view on this matter.

Or perhaps, having lived a carefree life with food and shelter all provided for, he did not have too strong a desire for money.

Grandmother did not say she would leave her house to Xia, after all there were still several grandsons in the family. Even if the grandsons did not mind, they would still need to marry, and not handling monetary matters clearly would inevitably leave hidden troubles, causing the siblings to drift further apart in the future.

In short, Grandmother would not allow her only granddaughter to suffer unfair treatment.

"Rest assured grandma, I don't feel wronged. I'm not a greedy person either. Jing is very good to me. We have a few lovely children now. I'm very content. And I believe we will have our own home, not relying on the elder's inheritance to live," a smile lit up in Xia's eyes. Not only was she confident in herself, she also had great faith in Jing.

A man like him would shine brightly no matter where he was.

"Since you think this way, grandma feels relieved too," back in the days when Grandmother was in charge, the manors and shops under her command were endless, even those Xia looked down on now. As for this house, she looked down on it even more. So she turned the conversation to matters about the children instead. "You are probably due in just a few days seeing how big your belly has grown. I think we shouldn't delay anymore. Your big brother is leaving tomorrow morning. Let's take advantage of your second brother's free time and wait at the hospital to be assured."

"Alright, let's listen to grandma on this," Xia thought that going to the hospital would be good too, sparing others from enviously eyeing her staying here.

As for staying for confinement after giving birth, by then Jing would be home too, so she naturally would not need to handle those matters.

The closer it got to the due date, the harder it became to endure each day.

Carrying triplets in her belly felt like they were wrestling inside, at times kicking up a huge lump that distorted the shape of her belly. And they tended to move around most actively at night.

When she was expecting the dragon and phoenix twins, Jing would attend to her. But now he still had not returned, so there was no one who could share her suffering. She could only rely on herself to endure it all.

The quiet night was filled with scudding dark clouds that obscured even the moon. The air lingered with a stifling aura.

The south was rainy season. Having just passed the new year, there was already a downpour. It just was not as heavy as this one. As soon as the raindrops fell, one could sense its magnificent force.

Fortunately, the rain stopped by daybreak.

An Zhiren drove Xia to the hospital.
