864.Another Method

Huang Zhishu watched as the couple left. She said, "Father, it's clear that Lisa's feelings for Jennie are sincere. Our Manoban family has to act with conscience. We cannot urge Lisa for a divorce."

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 Manoban family."

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

As Lisa's mother and Hong's wife, Ye Yunzhi was also very troubled. "But the Manoban 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."

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 Lisa to have a divorce."

Elder Manoban's expression immediately turned cold. "Eldest daughter-in-law, could it be that you wish for Kai's son to inherit the Manoban family? Don't even think about it! It's been years since Manoban Pu passed away yet my Manoban family continues to raise you and your children. Both Kai and Somi were adopted. The Manoban family has fulfilled its utmost responsibility to the three of you. Besides, Somi 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 Manoban family will never let Kai 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. Kai 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 Lisa into a divorce. We just need another woman to give Lisa a child. Jennie can then raise the child as hers. The problem will then be resolved, won't it?"

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

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

"Alright, let's not mention this matter for now." Chongshan stopped her.

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

Kai, on the other hand, appeared a little upset.

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

This was the residence they had been given in the old Manoban family's home.

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

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