On the way home, his mother's words echoed in his mind.

According to her, the property mentioned in the will had been left to her future great-grandson by his grandfather. The will was in her hands now, and she alone had the power to exercise it.

Once Joanna had given birth, the will would take effect and the estate would be transferred to her. It was up to her to decide how to use it.

Why did his grandfather not leave his legacy to his son or grandson, but instead chose to leave it to his great-grandson?

It was no wonder that Fu Siming treated her in such a manner. Apart from what he had done before, it had nothing to do with the ownership of this will.

Even Qiao An Ye himself was confused, not to mention the others, he thought that she had somehow managed to trick the deceased old man into obtaining the will.

Everything she saw in the Qiao family was etched into her mind.

Although it was a luxurious villa, many of its items had already been emptied. According to his mother, the family sold and paid off everything that was worth a bit of money, and the servants paid off some of the money.

"You have to give birth to a child as soon as possible. The future of the Qiao Family lies with you!"

This was what her mother, Jia Mei, had repeatedly told her before she left the Qiao family.

Qiao Li, also known as his father, was the chairman of the Qiao family group. He had a stroke and was lying in his room. If they did not get any more funds, the Qiao family would face the fate of being acquired.

Why did he, for some baffling reason, carry on a mission of such great importance for the clan?

Soon it was time for dinner, and it was only a matter of time before he returned home.

Joanna did not like the atmosphere of being alone with him at all. In any case, Fu Siming wouldn't care about her, so she might as well just keep her head down and eat.

He couldn't help but look up at the person in front of him who was as cold as a thousand year old ice. The possibility of having children was not there.

He didn't even want to touch her, let alone have a baby. It was clear that he didn't want the will to take effect.

He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he did not realize he had repeatedly cut the steak on his plate many times. The knife and fork made an ear-piercing sound, and he raised his head to look at her unhappily.

"Madam …" "My lady!" The servant reminded him softly.

Only then did the woman come back to her senses. Seeing the messy plate and the rather unhappy eyes of Fu Siming, she chuckled dryly and said, "Erm …" "I have no appetite, so I'll head back to my room first."

Back in his room, Qiao Anxiao took out a piece of white paper and attempted to draw the design. However, he was unable to focus his attention. Thinking about the Qiao family's current situation, she could not ignore it.

However, it was impossible for Fu Siming to agree to this. Moreover, she didn't want to … He didn't want to have too much interaction with this cold person, so it was basically impossible to get a will out.

The only thing she could do was to ask for Fu Siming's help. He hoped that he would at least be able to help the Qiao family out of consideration for their relationship as husband and wife.

"Butler, is sir in the study?"

"Teacher is in his room."

The woman nodded and walked up to the door of Fu Siming's room. She raised her hand to knock on the door, but hesitated. What was she going to tell him when she knocked on the door? In view of the relationship between husband and wife... But was there such a thing between them?

At this moment, the door suddenly opened from the inside. The man cast a cold glance at her. The look in his eyes scared her to the point that she had to take two steps back.

"What's the matter?"

"No, no …"

Joanna turned to go, but now she didn't know who else to ask for, except for Fosmin. He bit his lip and braced himself. Turning around to face Fu Siming, the woman changed her words, "Yes! I have something to ask of you! "
