Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1230 - 1229: Out of Sight, Out of Mind

Moreover, didn’t they say some years ago that Ye Jingli got injured when she was dividing things, so she couldn’t have children? At that time, Ye Jingli made a fuss at home, saying she wanted to fight for her son’s inheritance. So how did she get pregnant just after the divorce?

However, Xiao Keyi, as a girl, wasn’t suitable to say anything. She could only open her mouth slightly, and in the end, she poured a glass of water and sipped it gently.

Old Master Xiao closed his eyes, looking as though he aged ten years in an instant. Although he didn’t favor Ye Jingli, the child in her belly was still a descendant of the Xiao Family.

No matter how much he loved Yiyi, he couldn’t ignore that innocent child. Even though usually Old Master Xiao indeed didn’t like Xiao Keyu, it wasn’t because Xiao Keyu inherited that woman’s blood, nor because he came from that woman’s womb.

It was because Xiao Keyu’s behavior and conduct sometimes were too petty, so he wasn’t favored by the old man.

But not to mention Xiao Keyu himself, not even Xiao Zhen had noticed this, and naturally, the old man wouldn’t point it out to them.

Seeing the old man suddenly silent, Xiao Zhen felt a chill in his heart. How could his father allow his grandson to wander outside? Was his child truly a mistake? Thinking this, he clenched his fist, finally pinning his hopes on his only daughter.

Seeing her father’s expression, Xiao Keyi felt particularly conflicted. On one hand, Xiao Zhen was her father, but on the other hand, who wouldn’t hope their father would only love them? Especially with half-siblings, it’s even more impossible. Accepting it would be really difficult for her.

"Yiyi, you know Dad loves you a lot, but after all, your aunt is carrying your siblings, and they are also Dad’s biological children. How could Dad let his own flesh and blood wander outside? Not even you I would let go. Can you understand Dad?"

Seeing her father’s expression, Xiao Keyi was also moved. After all, her father had never pleaded with her before, and now he was humbly bowing his head. What should she do?

From Dad’s perspective, indeed, the child in Ye Jingli’s belly is Dad’s flesh and blood. But asking her to accept that child, is it really possible? One Xiao Keyu is already headache-inducing; if another one came, wouldn’t it be even more troublesome? Wouldn’t her relationship with Dad become even more strained?

Seeing his daughter’s expression, Xiao Zhen’s heart sank. Could it be that his daughter was unwilling too? In his memory, his daughter was a very gentle person, polite to others, and wouldn’t even step on small animals. But his own child, would his daughter really be so cold? He suddenly felt a bit desperate.

"Yiyi, your neighbor used to have a little cat, and when that little cat was dying, you cried and fainted. But why can you bear to let a child who hasn’t been born yet not have a father?"

Hearing her father say this, Xiao Keyi’s eyes flickered with pain. Did her father really think of her this way? But was all this really her fault?

Clearly, Xiao Keyi hadn’t done anything, yet she inexplicably gained an aunt and had to accept so many siblings.

If she felt sympathy for the kitten, it was because the kitten was pitiful. But to sympathize with this child was absolutely impossible, as this child was dividing her interests and all the love she received.

Upon hearing his son’s words, Old Master Xiao was immediately displeased: "I told you not to marry Ye Jingli, but you insisted. Did you ask Yiyi if she felt hurt? Originally, Yiyi only had one mother in her heart, but you married a strange woman and wanted Yiyi to call her Mom. You never asked for Yiyi’s opinion. Now you morally blackmail her, hoping she’ll accept that child. Don’t you find that ridiculous?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhen immediately regretted it. What had he just said to his precious daughter? He had already neglected his daughter for so long; he originally wanted to reconcile. But just now, he was too anxious, and seeing the hurt expression on his daughter’s face, he regretted it even more. The words of apology stuck in his throat, unable to be spoken.

Hearing her grandfather’s words, Xiao Keyi felt much relieved. That’s right; when Dad married Aunt, he didn’t ask for her opinion. Now instead, he’s pushing all this onto her. This wasn’t her fault at all. What was she thinking just now?

Annoyed, she tapped her head, but Old Master Xiao patted his granddaughter’s back, comforting her a little. Whatever happens, he would never let his granddaughter be wronged.

"The mistakes you made, you have to bear them yourself. You can’t let Yiyi pay for your mistakes."

Old Master Xiao now understood that the child in the belly was already part of the Xiao Family: "Since things have come to this, you should hire a nanny for her and rent a slightly better house outside to let her peacefully nurture her pregnancy. Don’t let any other incidents arise. Once the child is born, you can proceed with the divorce."

Hearing that a divorce was still planned, a hint of reluctance flashed through Xiao Zhen’s heart. Now, Ye Jingli was striving hard every day for the child, barely getting any sleep, and vomiting everything she ate. Telling Ye Jingli everything now wouldn’t be too cruel, would it?

And Ye Jingli now realized her mistakes. Couldn’t Dad give Ye Jingli a chance? Even if Ye Jingli hadn’t made any achievements, she did work hard, having two children.

"Dad, I’ve watched over the past few days. Lili has already realized her mistakes, and she even told me she would definitely correct them. I hope you can give her another chance. After all, she’s a mother; I can’t let both children be without a mother."

"Regarding Yiyi, I’m deeply sorry, but I still hope Yiyi can accept Ye Jingli so she can also enjoy maternal love. But since the two of them are at odds, I won’t pressure Yiyi. But I can’t let the other two children be motherless from such a young age. That would be too cruel for them. Even if you can’t accept them, can you at least keep Ye Jingli outside?"

"This way, out of sight, out of mind!"

After pondering for days, this was the only solution Xiao Zhen could come up with. This way, Ye Jingli could continue her pregnancy in peace, and she had been restless in these recent days.

Old Master Xiao, hearing this, grew even angrier. It seemed he was the cause of separating Ye Jingli from her children. Wasn’t it Ye Jingli herself who brought this upon herself?
