All this time, there was something that Madam Li hadn't understood. Where did these guys grow the confidence to clash with her husband when he returned.
After all, no matter what these guys did, or achieved in his absence would easily turn to ashes the moment he returned. It was the same as building castles of sand, right close to the sea.
One slightly bigger wave was enough to make all the built sandcastles disappear. Similarly, once Gao Jixie returned they would lose everything they had done until then.
Not only that, but they would even suffer the anger and wrath of Gao Jixie. Who knowing his nature would never allow these low lives actually see a white day again in their lives.
For that reason, she couldn't help but ask this question. The answer she received though confused her even more,
"Sister-in-law please don't make us look like villains! We are doing this precisely for our dearest cousin, who is unable to show himself again after what he did.
Everyone outside already knows that he was one of the biggest contributors to the yesterday's unrest and that neither Cui Xie nor the Horsemen are going to let him live an easy life.
While there still is an opportunity for him to get back, don't you think that it will take some time? Furthermore, I wouldn't like to have him return to a destroyed legacy.
No matter what has happened until now, he is our blood-related cousin, and blood is thicker than water. It's precisely for that reason, that we are doing what we are doing.
I think, and hope that sister-in-law feels the same!"
"Hahahahahah~! You say some quite interesting things 'brother-in-law' and I hope that you aren't wrong either, but don't tell me that you have forgotten about the presence of my son, and the heir!"
She was trying to pressure these bastards with the existence of her son, even though she had no intention of letting him take his father's place at the moment.
It clearly seemed to work for a moment, but then suddenly Gao Tianji revealed a sly grin on his face, as he said with a voice that was difficult to hide his happiness.
"Of course, I have no intention of robbing something that rightfully belongs to my nephew and son-in-law! He is certainly the heir to his father's business Empire.
But just as you know, his position and health are in a delicate state lately, and I wouldn't want to burden him anymore.
Furthermore, I am sure that he will be busy considering the good news that I am about to give to everyone sitting at this table!
My Ruo'er is pregnant, and the father of the son is none other than her cousin, and the person we are talking about, Jiang'er.
Their relationship was clandestine and happened under unwanted circumstances, but this doesn't change the fact that it brought to existence such a fruit, before Jiang'er unfortunate condition.
It is my rude and wishful thinking, I know, but I would like to actually propose that we tie the two of them in marriage, and give the unborn baby his position before some unknown people take advantage of the situation!
I wonder what sister-in-law thinks about this!"
The table went silent due to the startle and shock they just received, especially Madam Li. She didn't expect such a turn of events.
This was a card that had a lot of importance in their discussion, it was something that she couldn't neglect. If what this trash said was true, then that baby would be her grandchild.
The most important issue at hand was to prove whether that unborn baby was truly her grandchild or not, and she couldn't help but ask in an extremely solemn, and serious tone,
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want 'brother-in-law'! Are you sure about what you said that the baby belongs to my son?"
"Just like you said 'sister-in-law' one can eat whatever he wants but can't say whatever he wants, and I am not such a kind of person!
If sister-in-law doubts my words, she could easily ask for a DNA test as soon as it will be possible, without harming the health of the unborn baby!"
There was clear confidence in his voice, it seemed like he didn't even doubt it to be the case, and Madam Li couldn't deny it either knowing the lifestyle of her own son.
It was more than probable that he had actually ra*ped the little bi*tch that was lowering her head in shame at the moment.
She could tell that it was a play, an act from the little bi*tch, but the problem was that she couldn't actually deny the probability of something like that truly happening.
Now she was cornered in this conversation, and it would be impossible to turn this situation to her advantage.
First things first, she needed to confirm whether these guys' words were true or not. With those thoughts in mind, she decided to take a step back and propose for a breather, so she said,
"The good news and the information you just provided us with has been too heavy for anyone to process 'brother-in-law'.
I am sure that each and every one of the people at the table needs some time to process and celebrate this good news, and they might even think that this was our play to make sure that everything goes to the baby!
So, I propose a breather for everyone and let us arrange for another meeting in the shortest time possible. Preferably tomorrow morning!"
Gao Tianji wanted to push further at this moment, as he felt that he had the full situation under control, but he quickly understood the poison in Madam Li's words.
She was actually hinting to the other members of the family, the possibility of this being a play for him to monopolize everything with the existence of Gao Ruo's unborn baby.
No matter what, he had on his side what could be called the next generation heir of the Gao Group of Companies, while the others didn't.
The moment that Li YunMu finished talking, he could see that out of the three remaining cousins, one was heaving a gloomy face, while the other two seemed alert towards his next action.
No matter how much he wanted to scream to them, that this was their chance to take everything that belonged to them from the hands of this woman he couldn't.
Not to mention that they might not even trust him and think that he was trying to swindle them. Gao Tianji was an excellent bootlicker, so he perfectly understood human nature and greed.
With those thoughts in his mind, he couldn't help but compromise at this moment, looking for more time to convince these idiots for the next meeting.
After all, the fact that his daughter was pregnant, and that the child belonged to Gao Jiang was a fact to him, and he had nothing to lose with waiting a little bit more.
He was certain that Li YunMu would better accept the grandchild from his daughter, than some cheap woman outside.
"Sister-in-law is truly wise and comprehending, I see no problem with doing what you said!"
After saying that, he happily returned to the plate of food in front of him, while Madam Li had to stand up and get outside as she had lost her appetite.
She had never thought that she would be cornered like that from a dirty rat that she had underestimated this whole time.
Her unhappiness grew even bigger when she found out that her little sister and the young Chef Chen were nowhere to be seen.
Knowing the character, and attitude of her little sister, she was certain that she was already trying to make a move on the young Chef, and for some reason that made her mad.
With those thoughts in her mind, she quickly reached the room of her son, and without knocking on the door she entered inside, only to find him molesting Fa'er once again.
Normally she would lose all her stress and anger upon entering his room, but this time everything was different, as without saying anything she said in a cold voice,
"Fa-er get outside!"
The maid was a bit startled by the tone, and the order given, but she didn't dare to stay there when the Madam ordered.
On the other hand, Young Master Gao was quite displeased by his mother's action, and said,
"Mother what are you trying to do? Why does she have to go out?"
"Gao Jian, you better shut up and answer me! Did you, or did you not have intercourse with that little bi*tch Gao Ruo before suffering your injury!"
Young Master Gao was even more surprised with his mother's attitude, tone, and actions, but he still pretended to not care as he said,
"What does it matter! It should be that bi*tch's honor to have my interest upon her! Why are you giving so much care to her words?"
"Youuu… I thought that you were a grown man and understood to use protection. To think that you are so stupid as to let her pregnant!
You are as idiot as your father is!"
"What!?"
"You heard me, she claims to be pregnant with your child! Furthermore, that vulture of a father is even asking the Group of Companies to manage until your father returns!"
"How dare those low lives…"
"Of course, they would dare, how would they not, since you are so irresponsible as to not control your di*ck!"
She was angry and she wanted to scream more, but before she could she saw that her son was coughing hard,
'Ahem…, ahem…, ahem…!'
