Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 192 - 191 Denial (8,000+ votes recommended)

Xia Xiao wasn’t worried about Xia Chunrong remaining a bachelor, and it was impossible for Xia Chunrong to stay that way. After all, fate happens naturally, like water flows into its channel.

Xia Wei commented on seeing Guan Mingli vomit, and Xia Xiao added, "I also think she’s pregnant. Guan Mingli even had her hand on her stomach, and Zhao Daguo’s expression was so tense."

The adults of the Xia Family fell silent, including the usually mute Xia Jianguo, who hesitated. Mrs. Xia said, "Let’s not worry about their matters anymore. We won’t bother with them from now on."

"But grandma, if Guan Mingli is pregnant, Xiangzi and Yanzi could return to the Xia Family," Xia Wei’s words fell, and there was another round of silence. Naturally, they didn’t want their grandsons to belong to another family, but Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan had disappointed everyone. Plus, even if they did come back, there would still be hard feelings since Zhao Xiang’s and Zhao Yan’s previous cold-heartedness was witnessed by all. And when Old Man Xia was in the hospital, they never visited him, firmly siding with the Zhao family in their attacks against the Xia Family.

Meanwhile, from the Zhao family’s perspective, Guan Mingli and Zhao Daguo couldn’t contain their joy after returning from the hospital, with smiles on their faces.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan tensed up, realizing it must be true.

"Aunt, are you really pregnant?" Zhao Yan asked.

Guan Mingli shook her head, "Not yet."

However, Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan didn’t believe her. Her denial seemed more like a lie to fool children, and it only irritated Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan further.

Mrs. Zhao said, "Xiangzi, Yanzi, you’re both not getting any younger. It’s time to find partners. Xiangzi, do you have your eye on any suitable girls?"

Zhao Xiang nodded; he had been seeing someone he really liked before, but after his parents’ divorce and changing his surname to Zhao, the girl broke up with him, and her family didn’t approve either.

Now Zhao Xiang was seeing someone from the factory, so he said, "It’s a girl from the factory."

Guan Mingli responded, "That’s good. If you get married, you could apply for a dormitory with the factory."

Zhao Xiang asked in surprise, "I have a home here to live in, why would I need a dormitory? Besides, the girl is with me because she knows I have a house. If I didn’t have a house, she probably wouldn’t marry me."

At these words, Mrs. Zhao frowned, "That won’t do. You can’t want a girl who’s after a house, that’s not genuine."

Guan Mingli nodded in agreement and said to Zhao Xiang, "Xiangzi, be careful. The girls nowadays are very pragmatic. Tell her you plan to apply for factory dormitory after getting married. If she disagrees, then you shouldn’t be with her. You can’t rely on such a girl."

If Guan Mingli had said this before, Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan would’ve taken her advice. But things were different now. Guan Mingli being pregnant was like kicking him out. So Zhao Xiang became unhappy.

Zhao Yan’s mood was also very sour. Everything had been fine before, but now everyone’s attitude had changed because of Guan Mingli’s pregnancy. Zhao Yan even started to resent the unborn child, thinking that if it weren’t for the baby, their family would still be all right, and her brother wouldn’t have been driven out.

Now Zhao Yan regarded her brother Zhao Xiang very highly. As a woman destined to marry and not stay at home, she understood that her brother’s situation was different. He was expected to marry and have children—how could he not live at home?

If it weren’t for the aunt’s pregnancy, everything here would belong to her brother. But now, things were uncertain.

"Grandma, Aunt, I’ve seen my brother’s girlfriend, and she has a really good personality, and she’s pretty too, not that kind of girl," Zhao Yan spoke up for Zhao Xiang.

Guan Mingli said, "You’re still young, what do you know? Some girls know how to put on an act."

"Aunt hasn’t even met her, how can you know that my brother’s girlfriend is pretending?" Zhao Yan was not convinced.

Guan Mingli, seeing Zhao Yan talking back like this, was displeased but still held back her temper and said, "A girl from a good family, when looking for a partner, why would she go after someone’s house? Is this choosing a partner or hunting for a house?"

Zhao Yan was unhappy now; she looked for a partner based on the other side’s conditions too, and what Aunt said clearly implied she wasn’t her type of girl. She immediately retorted, "Why can’t she? If he doesn’t have a house or money, what’s the use of such a man? Without a house or money, who would look up to him?"

"How can there not be? Your Uncle Zhao had nothing to his name when we met, and I still followed him," Guan Mingli said, and The Zhao family members all nodded in agreement.

Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan were both unhappy now, and Zhao Xiang, looking at his grandparents, Uncle Zhao, and Guan Mingli, went straight to the point, "Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, don’t you want me to get married and live at home?"

"That’s not it," Mrs. Zhao hurriedly said, and Mr. Zhao and Uncle Zhao nodded too, "You misunderstood your Aunt’s meaning. She thinks your girlfriend is not suitable. She wants you to check properly if she’s only interested in your house, not you as a person. You can’t have a girl like that."

Guan Mingli cut to the chase, "How about this? After the new year, Xiangzi, you bring your girlfriend over and let the family see her for themselves. Your grandparents and uncles have more experience, they can see better than you and can give you some guidance."

Zhao Xiang agreed immediately.

Guan Mingli turned to Zhao Yan and said, "Yanzi, you should also hurry up and find yourself a partner. It’s not proper for a girl to be out and about all the time."

Zhao Yan immediately pouted and protested, "Aunt, you didn’t use to say that about me, you used to tell me to go out more, to make more friends, to see if I could meet a good match."

"That was before, now the outside atmosphere is tense, am I not worried about your safety?" Guan Mingli laughed, then turned to Zhao Daguo and said, "Daguo, you also help keep an eye out for some young men. If there are any with good conditions, introduce them to Yanzi."

Zhao Yan immediately said, "I want someone who’s handsome, and has money and power."

The Zhao family members all nodded, Guan Mingli especially wanted to spit on Zhao Yan, not even looking at herself and yet wanting to find someone handsome and wealthy with power, as if she thought herself a celestial being.

"Don’t worry, Yanzi, Uncle will take care of this," Zhao Daguo took on the task.

But Zhao Xiang wasn’t reassured; he thought Liang Wei, although not good-looking, was nice to Xia Yan and obedient, unlike other guys who might not be so.

And what kind of good person could his Uncle find? Remembering the man his mother Zhao Xiaolan had married, Zhao Xiang felt disgusted.

Since Zhao Xiaolan had married into that family, although the husband’s conditions were good, he had a son and a daughter, and moreover, his family didn’t like Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan dropping by, even directly telling Zhao Xiaolan not to let The Zhao family members visit. Zhao Xiaolan had no choice but to listen, so even though she had remarried, Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan, her children, couldn’t enjoy any benefits.

Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan could only meet Zhao Xiaolan at the factory, and as soon as she got off work, she had to rush back to cook, clean, tidy up, and do the laundry, stunningly virtuous. The Xia family hadn’t seen this, or they would have been shocked.
