The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex - Chapter 1417

Chapter 1417: Mr. Jiang, That’s My Grandchild

He Xiyan didn’t want to discuss marriage plans with Jiang Cheng’s parents because she still needed time to get to know Jiang Cheng.

This couldn’t wait and so she decided that she should hire two private detectives to look into this man.

She would only consider agreeing to the match once she had confirmation of Jiang Cheng’s moral character.

Wang Min blinked and looked a little embarrassed as she said, “Mrs. Ye, Jiang Cheng and Xi Xi are classmates and they’ve been playmates since they were children. They’ve grown up together, so why are you saying that you don’t know him well enough?”

Jiang Zhentao added, “That’s right. It must be fate that they’ve ended up together.”

“Oh, really?” Ye Hao asked and he shot them a cold smile.

He paused for a moment before he said abruptly, “Mr. Jiang, Ms. Wang, let’s put it this way. Xi Xi is our only daughter and we’ve never thought about marrying our daughter off.”

….

The Jiangs felt as though they had been hit by a sledgehammer.

Jiang Zhentao and Wang Min froze and their eyes widened in shock and disbelief.

They looked at Ye Hao in astonishment, as though they didn’t understand what he had just said.

Did he not think that Jiang Cheng was not their biological son?

Wang Min pasted an awkward smile on her face and said, “Mr. Ye, your words are a little…”

Ye Hao smiled and looked at the Jiangs as he said, “I was just laying out facts.”

He Xiyan didn’t know what her husband was trying to say, so she looked at her husband in confusion.

What did he mean by saying that he had no intention of marrying his daughter off?

Xi Xi would have to get married one day.

Wang Min took a deep breath and her face was flushed with embarrassment and a tinge of anxiousness. She was anxious because she truly hoped that she could become in-laws with the Ye family.

Everyone in Ye City would die for a chance to marry the young mistress of the Ye family.

She blinked hard as she thought of how she should respond to Ye Hao.

“Mr. Ye…” Wang Min started but her husband interrupted her.

Jiang Zhentao said, “Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye, we’re truly sincere about wanting Xi Xi to be part of our family and about holding marriage discussions with you. Xi Xi is now pregnant with the Jiang family’s grandchild, and it doesn’t matter whether or not the child is a boy or a girl. I hope that you’ll try to empathize with us for the sake of the unborn child and allow our grandchild’s parents to be married soon so that the child would be born legitimately.”

Jiang Zhentao deftly brought up the topic of the grandchild.

They wouldn’t have dared to bring up marriage or discuss the details of their son’s wedding if it wasn’t for their unborn grandchild.

They had some confidence that Ye Hao would agree to their marriage proposal in order to preserve his daughter’s reputation now that she was with child.

However, they were clearly wrong.

Ye Hao’s expression darkened and there was a cold glint in his eyes. He didn’t even blink after the Jiangs brought up their unborn grandchild.

“Mr. Jiang, please take note of this. My daughter might be pregnant but she has not married into your family, so the unborn child is not part of the Jiang family, neither is the unborn child your grandchild. It is my grandchild and will be part of the Ye family. We’ve decided to raise our grandchild, so there’s no need for you to worry about the child,” he said.

His slightly creased brows and the look in his eyes made it clear that there was no room for discussion.

Jiang Zhendong and Wang Min were stunned and they felt like they had been struck by lightning.
