Huang Zhishu watched as the couple left. She said, “Father, it’s clear that Qinghao’s feelings for Xinxin are sincere. Our Bai family has to act with conscience. We cannot urge Qinghao for a divorce.”

Bai Chongshan glanced at Huang Zhishu in astonishment. “You’re actually speaking properly for once. I thought you would take this opportunity to cause trouble.”

“Why would I do that?” Huang Zhishu put on a virtuous act. “I dearly wish for everything to be peaceful in the Bai family.”

Bai Hong turned to Huang Zhishu. “Sister-in-law, let me tell you honestly. The Bai family will never force Qinghao and Xinxin into a divorce. Firstly, Qinghao’s matters are not for us to decide. Secondly, aside from Xinxin’s difficulties with conceiving, we are all very satisfied with her. As you saw earlier, before we had the chance to say anything, Qinghao had already taken Xinxin away without giving us any face.”

As Qinghao’s mother and Bai Hong’s wife, Ye Yunzhi was also very troubled. “But the Bai family needs a successor. We are also very troubled by this matter and unsure of how to resolve it.”

Huang Zhishu was precisely waiting for this moment. She glanced at them. “Father, Brother, Sister-in-law, I have a solution that may help.”

Bai Chongshan looked up. “Speak.”

Huang Zhishu carefully began, “Actually, if it’s just related to the matter of a successor, there’s absolutely no need for Qinghao to have a divorce.”

Elder Bai’s expression immediately turned cold. “Eldest daughter-in-law, could it be that you wish for Chenxi’s son to inherit the Bai family? Don’t even think about it! It’s been years since Bai Pu passed away yet my Bai family continues to raise you and your children. Both Chenxi and Jingrou were adopted. The Bai family has fulfilled its utmost responsibility to the three of you. Besides, Jingrou has committed so many wrongdoings. We already told you before you adopted them that your adopted children will not have any rights to succession. The Bai family will never let Bai Chenxi become its future successor, much less his children!”

Huang Zhishu had heard these words many times yet they always left her enraged. Still, she continued gently. “Father, don’t worry. Chenxi and I will never dare to have thoughts about anything that doesn’t belong to us.”

“That’s better.” The elder harrumphed loudly.

Huang Zhishu then continued. “You were too impatient earlier. What I meant was that it’s simple to resolve this matter without forcing Qinghao into a divorce. We just need another woman to give Qinghao a child. Xinxin can then raise the child as hers. The problem will then be resolved, won’t it?”

The moment she said so, Bai Chongshan, Bai Hong and Ye Yunzhi fell silent.

Huang Zhishu then added fuel to the fire. “I understand that Xinxin will be enduring some grievance in this matter. But who asked her to have difficulties in conceiving? The Bai family cannot be without a successor.”

“Alright, let’s not mention this matter for now.” Bai Chongshan stopped her.

A hint of a smile flashed past Huang Zhishu’s face.

Bai Chenxi, on the other hand, appeared a little upset.

After breakfast, Huang Zhishu and Bai Chenxi returned to their Jing Xin Residence.

This was the residence they had been given in the old Bai family’s home.

The moment they stepped in, Bai Chenxi raised his voice in anger. “Mom, you’ve gone crazy! How could you give the Bai family such a good idea? It’ll only benefit me if Bai Qinghao doesn’t have any children. If they do as you said, what benefit could I possibly pick up in the Bai family!”

Huang Zhishu sat down on the couch and patted the seat next to her.. “Come here, my son.”
