Chapter 919: Chapter 923 Radiant as Peach and Plum Blossoms

Chapter 919 -923 Radiant as Peach and Plum Blossoms

His son marrying a stepmother almost as young as his granddaughter might not sound good, but his old partner did make some sense.

His son was single, and Jiao Tao wasn’t married either. While there was a big age gap between the two, Jiao Tao was willing to marry. It wasn’t illegal or against moral principles, and now that they even had a child, his old partner fussing protectively over her son to the extreme, what could he do?

Since it wasn’t a matter of principle, Senior Master Xie had no choice but to hold his nose and accept it for fear of his old partner crying herself into dire straits.

But why would a beautiful 23-year-old college girl marry a man in his forties?

Think it through, and the answer was clear.

Although Xie Wenhui was older and a cowardly good-for-nothing, the reputation and wealth of the Xie family stood firm.

As long as Xie Wenhui wanted to marry, there were plenty of young eligible women lining up, hoping to be chosen.

They didn’t love Xie Wenhui, they coveted the splendor and wealth of the Xie family.

This fact, Senior Master Xie was all too aware of.

Therefore, even before seeing Jiao Tao, he had already pegged her as someone who liked to climb the social ladder, feeling not the slightest bit of affection for her.

After meeting Jiao Tao, his demeanor toward her was even less friendly.

He hadn’t even provided a wedding for Xie Wenhui and Jiao Tao. They quietly registered their marriage, and Jiao Tao moved into the Xie family’s house.

Senior Master Xie ignored Jiao Tao completely, treating her as if she didn’t exist.

Jiao Tao didn’t mind at all.

After marrying Xie Wenhui, she took a leave of absence from school on the pretext of pregnancy.

Every day, she accompanied Senior Madame Xie to stroll in the garden, chat over fruits, managing to endear herself to the Senior Madame even more than her own daughters would.

Senior Madame Xie was soft-hearted and doted on her son. Now with Jiao Tao carrying Xie Wenhui’s child, the sight of Jiao Tao made Senior Madame’s heart bloom with joy.

This was something Senior Master Xie found extremely vexing.

Jiao Tao’s pregnancy was a happy occasion for Xie Wenhui, but a source of annoyance for him.

If Jiao Tao bore a daughter, that’d be fine, but if it were a son, future troubles were bound to arise.

Although Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei were capable, they were not legitimate members of the Xie family after all.

If Jiao Tao gave birth to a son, he would be the Xie family’s eldest grandson.

He could see that Jiao Tao was smart. With the vast family business of the Xie family, could she have no ulterior motives?

For the sake of the Xie family’s inheritance, he had already lost a granddaughter. He didn’t want to lose Xie Wenhui as well.

In the past, he had decisively wanted to sever ties with Xie Wenhui, which was ultimately just to intimidate him into knowing his place and to live a quiet life.

He had only one son. How could he truly cast aside Xie Wenhui?

Having finally resigned to his fate, Xie Wenhui divorced Qin Huilan and earnestly returned to his family. Now he had married such an ambitious troublemaker; the thought alone gave him a headache.

Xie Jinfei had mentioned to Ye Xingbei over the phone that Xie Wenhui had married a college girl in her twenties.

Therefore, upon arriving at the Xie family’s home and taking a seat in the living room, Ye Xingbei was not surprised to meet the pregnant Jiao Tao.

Learning that Xie Wenhui had married a college student, Ye Xingbei had privately guessed that the girl must be very pretty.

Seeing her today, she indeed was.

Jiao Tao was as her name suggested, radiant and lush as peach and plum blossoms.

At the prime age of her twenties, and nourished well during her pregnancy, her delicate skin was fair with a ruddy glow, brimming with collagen. With exquisite features and picturesque brows and eyes, she indeed possessed a beauty that could easily captivate Xie Wenhui.
