  Cheng Sizhe had already started the car’s engine and continued to move forward. “Xiao Guyun and Xiao Caibai have been working for the Xiao’s family business, so they basically have everyone on their side. Actually, there is absolutely no need for Xiao Caibai to go against Mi Nuo. Even if Mi Nuo really belonged to the Xiao family, Old Master Xiao wouldn’t hand the corporation over to someone incompetent. The heir of the Xiao family has to be truly capable and talented. Otherwise, the masses would not be convinced. Mi Nuo lacks such talent, so she will be seen only as a tool to produce the next generation’s heir of the Xiaos.”


  After saying this, he shook his head. “The Xiao family’s rules are outrageous. Their heirs ought to have the ability to manage a company because both the Xiaos and the family business are reputable. They are afraid that outsiders would take over their business. Furthermore, the competition within the company is stiff. Many senior shareholders and what-not are unrestrained. Hence, to be able to manage the corporation successfully, the heir must be naturally talented. He or she cannot accept help offered by others, especially…… their husband or wife.”


  After saying this, he shook his head again. “Someone like Mi Nuo wouldn’t receive acknowledgment even if she were Xiao Muqing’s daughter. If they insist on acknowledging one’s roots and ancestors, she would only be groomed to become a canary of some sort to produce the next heir in line.”


  After hearing this, Zhuang Nainai frowned.

  She suddenly realized something wrong in what Cheng Sizhe had just said.

  Were they not aware of Mi Nuo’s infertility?!

  There was absolutely no need for Xiao Caibai to deal with Mi Nuo!

  Looking at Cheng Sizhe, she was about to say what she was thinking. However, she chose to swallow her words and remain silent.

  In the midst of the wealthy families’ politics, Si Zhengting had announced that Mi Nuo was Gu Qingyan, which made her Xiao Muqing’s daughter. He must have had his motives for doing so, and she’d rather not interfere with this without understanding the entire situation.

  She lowered her head as she suddenly felt that her brain had become very cluttered.

  After hearing Cheng Sizhe’s explanation, she finally had a brief understanding of the Xiaos. At the same time, a thought surfaced in her mind suddenly. This thought would sound very appalling, so she did not dare to say it out loud.

  She bit her lips and lowered her head.

  Cheng Sizhe sent her back to the small house in Xibali village. She got out of the car and took a few steps before stopping in her tracks. She turned around and told Cheng Sizhe, “I have something to attend to next week, so I won’t be going to the office.”


  Taken aback, Cheng Sizhe simply nodded.

  Thereafter, Zhuang Nainai continued walking to her house.

  Under such circumstances, there was no way she could face Xu Dazhi. Before she could come up with a solution to solve this problem, she thought that it would be best if she didn’t see him for the time being.

  At the thought of this, she became more vexed as she rushed into her small house.

  Her emotions were very turbulent and she could not calm herself down. Hence, Zhuang Nainai grabbed a rag and started cleaning the house.

  While she was cleaning the house, she suddenly missed Mother Zhuang very much.

  Right now, she was really lost. She did not know what to do. In the past, if she had encountered similar problems, she would have consulted her mother, but now……

  She lowered her head. Loneliness started to swallow her whole.

  She sighed as she entered her mother’s bedroom. Sitting on her bed, she hugged her pillow, as if smelling the already non-existent scent of the pillow would make her feel her mother’s presence.

  After lying down on the bed while hugging the pillow for a while, she stood up. Just then, she realized that there was…… an old photo under her mother’s pillow?

  She picked up the photo. Upon her seeing the people in the photo, her eyes narrowed!
