Chapter 902: Chapter 902: Found His Clue (Part 6)
The initially frightened Zhao Mengqing was taken aback by the scene, exclaiming, "Grandpa, you were pretending to sleep."
Children always speak their minds without reservation.
Xiao Jianming closed his eyelids.
Suddenly, Zhao Mengqing no longer felt any fear, because the one pretending to sleep seemed more afraid of them.
The question is, why would Grandpa suddenly become afraid of Little Pudding? The smart child turned it over in his mind, then leaned by the old crocodile’s bedside, and whispered, "Sometimes when I read too late, I’m afraid Mom will catch me, so I also pretend to be asleep under the covers."
Zhao Mengjin heard her brother’s incredibly clever words and laughed, pulling a chair to sit by the bed. Of course, she wouldn’t tell the elder everything like her younger brother did.
Hearing that the Zhao siblings would stay in their grandfather’s room to take care of the elder, Gu Nuan reassured the somewhat worried Xiao housekeeper and others, saying, "It’s okay, besides, you’re in the house and can provide support at any time."
As the Xiao housekeeper turned to leave, Gu Nuan added, "Never mind."
Never mind?
The Xiao housekeeper couldn’t possibly understand her words at all.

Uncle Tang, after Chairman Hong left, followed him by car.
Chairman Hong noticed the car following him and stopped at a quiet place to get out and talk to Uncle Tang.
"What’s going on with the President?" Chairman Hong asked, his expression understandably anxious and uneasy, as it seemed that Gu Nuan was indeed taking control of the family.
Uncle Tang shook his head, "For now, he still seems as listless as the past few days."
"What should we do?" Chairman Hong slapped his palm, seemingly very troubled, "It looks like she plans to take the money the President and the Old Madam put in the charity fund and pocket it."
Uncle Tang was evidently startled by his words, "Is that possible?"
He just couldn’t bring himself to believe Gu Nuan was that kind of person.
Although Gu Nuan always said she wanted to annex the Xiao Family’s assets, Uncle Tang could sense that, at her core, Gu Nuan wasn’t just a money-loving woman.
A person who isn’t greedy for money wouldn’t covet even the money meant for charity, right?
To this, Chairman Hong said to Uncle Tang, "She doesn’t intend to put the money into the charity fund, so what do you think she wants to do?"
Uncle Tang suggested, "Why don’t you show her the financial reports and see how she reacts?"
Sigh. Chairman Hong disagreed, "If she were just an ordinary person, that would be fine, but don’t you know she’s an extraordinarily smart woman? Even if I tamper with the reports, she might find the flaw; it’s completely pointless."
"So, what should we do now?" Uncle Tang asked.
Chairman Hong reached out, put his arm around Uncle Tang’s shoulder, and whispered, "I know you have someone inside that house. If this woman doesn’t leave, I’m afraid all of the President’s money will be swallowed by her. We might as well—"
Uncle Tang was shocked and stared at him, "You—you don’t want me to—"
"Don’t think that," Chairman Hong said, "I’m just saying, do something minor to scare her, make her feel uncomfortable staying there, feel that it’s not worth it to covet the Xiao Family’s assets, and she’ll naturally leave, give up."
Seems like a pretty good idea. If they make unpleasant food for Gu Nuan every day, she wouldn’t stop complaining.
Uncle Tang nodded, "Okay, I’ll give it a try."
As he was about to leave in his car, he suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Chairman Hong, "How’s the Old Madam doing?"
