Chapter 1414: Why Aren’t You Holding Him?

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Even though they had the ability to compete against the most powerful and wealthy families in their world, the Xie family just disappeared overnight.

After the Xie family’s disappearance, the eight remaining reclusive families interacted less.

However, Zhang Xin refused to listen to any advice.

“The Lahaisen Hospital has cutting edge medical technology and extreme amounts of wealth. The other reclusive families would definitely be interested in this. Furthermore, I heard someone from the Xue family once submitted an application to Lahaisen Hospital when he was sick and got rejected. If that’s the case, he would definitely hold a grudge.”

The old servant attempted to remind his master: “But Jian Yiling’s background is incredibly complicated. She has the support of the Zhai family, the Jian family, the Wen family, and the mysterious and unpredictable Second Master of the Zhai family. They won’t be easy to deal with.”

After all, right now, almost everyone knew of Jian Yiling. Even though she looked adorable and easily bullied, she had powerful backing to support her every decision and move.

“Tch, maybe I’d consider the Zhai family and the Second Master of the Zhai family as a potential problem and hindrance. But the Jian family and the Wen family? You’re duly overestimating them. If I can unite the other reclusive families, we can easily deal with the Zhai family and the Tianxing Group. Besides, hasn’t Jian Yiling just given birth? The Zhai family’s attention will definitely be on her newborn child. This will be our best opportunity.”

Upon hearing this, a helpless expression appeared on the old servant’s face.

“And you need to stop saying useless things. You’re just an old servant of the Zhang family. You can’t dictate my decisions. Hurry up and send the Nine Dragons Post to the other reclusive families!”

The Nine Dragons Post was a special invitation used when the Xie Family was still around. Back then, it was used to inform important matters to other families.

This meant more than thirty years had passed since someone last used the Nine Dragons Post.

After receiving this order, the old servant of the Zhang family could only listen to Zhang Xin.

As usual, Zhai Yunsheng accompanied Jian Yiling on a daily basis.

Jian Yiling’s baby was still unnamed. For now, everyone called him Xiaobao¹. He was currently being held by Master Zhai.

“Ahh, my precious great-grandson! He’s so cute! He’s definitely going to be incredibly good-looking when he grows up!” Master Zhai exclaimed proudly for the hundredth time.

When Grandpa Jian heard this, a disgusted expression appeared on his face. Wasn’t it just a great-grandson? The Jian family had two of them!

“Are you done with hugging him? If so, you should hand him to me! I want to hold him too!” Grandpa Jian complained.

Did Master Zhai never get tired of holding Xiaobao? He had been holding him for almost an hour.

“Don’t you have two great-grandchildren of your own? Why do you still want my family’s?” Master Zhai replied. He put particular emphasis on the words my family’s.

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Jian replied in disdain: “What do you mean by your family’s? Without my darling granddaughter, your family wouldn’t even have a great-grandchild in the first place!”

“But she married into my family! She now belongs to the Zhai family!”

Hmph! No one could steal his granddaughter-in-law from them!

“What do you mean by that? Yiling’s surname is Jian! She will always belong to the Jian family!” Grandpa Jian exclaimed.

Once again, the two of them began to bicker.

In the eyes of many, their actions were more childish than Jian Dan’s. In fact, this was probably how children quarreled in kindergarten.

“Wa… Wa…”

When Xiaobao heard the noise, his brows became furrowed. It seemed like he was about to cry at any minute.

Upon hearing this, the two old men immediately stopped arguing.

However, there was still a displeased look in their eyes.

Master Zhai planned to hand his great-grandson to Zhai Yunsheng.

“Hold your son more often.”

Zhai Yunsheng glanced at his son. However, he did not reach out to hold him. Instead, he replied: “Get the wet nurse to hold her.”

Upon hearing this, Master Zhai exclaimed: “What’s wrong with you? My great-grandson is so cute. How can you possibly not want to hold him?”
