Chapter 299: This isn’t good right?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Mother Xiao and Xiao Baili weren’t touched by Xiao Yuanshi’s words.

They only felt that this scumbag man/her scumbag father was indeed a scumbag, and was even cheap.

If they did not scold him, he would not be willing to bleed.

Xiao Baili said with a smile, “Sure!”

“Then when will you go and change the land deed for the manor to my name?”

They did not want to give up this scumbag father’s assets if they could get them.

Else, that concubine would be benefiting from this.

Back then, his father had coaxed his mother to marry him.

He had also enjoyed so many benefits and advantages from his grandfather. It was his duty to compensate him.

Although Xiao Yuanshi felt his heart ache, he still smiled and said, “I can do it anytime.”

Xiao Baili said, “Then let’s not wait for another day. Today, you can get someone to change the deed of the hot spring manor to my name.”

Otherwise, his father would go back and think further.

Perhaps, he would be sweet-talked by that ex-concubine and regret it.

Xiao Yuanshi sighed, was there a need to be so anxious?

However, since he had said it, he was not prepared to go back on his word.

“Alright, then I’ll order someone to change the name today.”

Although he was no longer in the Ministry of War, he was still a general.

It was still easy for him to handle such a small matter.

Xiao Baili smiled sweetly. “Then, thank you.”

Xiao Yuanshi saw his daughter’s smile and heaved a sigh of relief.

“Aren’t you going to call me ‘father’ ?”

The older he got, the more he felt that it was a little inappropriate that he didn’t have any children by his side, especially when he was comparing himself with parents having children of both sex.

Occasionally, he could not help but feel envious.

Before Xiao Baili could say anything, Mother Xiao said first, “In your dreams. You want my daughter to call you ‘father’ just because you gave me a rundown hot spring manor? You are dreaming too fast.”

Xiao Yuanshi was speechless.

This woman was getting more and more outrageous.

Besides, his hot spring manor was worth more than ten thousand taels now. How was it rundown manor?

He could not help but say, “I am your father to begin with.”

Mother Xiao looked at him as if he was an idiot. “You have already broken off your kinship with us, okay?

“Let’s wait until the day you compensate Baili and Erlang more than you compensate your brother-in-law and sister-in-law before and prove your words with your actions.”

She didn’t know that this bastard man’s sister-in-law had a hot spring manor as her dowry.

Wanted to dismiss her daughter with just a hot spring manor? What was he thinking?

Xiao Yuanshi remained silent, how could he have so much money to compensate her.

Unless he got his hands on that batch of treasures.

But he had never thought of giving so much to his children whom he had already broken off their relationship with.

He would only consider it if they returned to his side.

Of course, he would not say it on the surface even if he thought so.

“I will try my best to make it up to her. Don’t worry.”

Then, he asked, “Then, if she doesn’t call me dad now, what should she call me?”

Mother Xiao said matter-of-factly, “Ex-dad.

“Or Uncle Xiao.”

Xiao Yuanshi was speechless.

This woman had really gone astray with Shi Qingluo.

What the hell were ‘ex-dad’ and ‘Uncle Xiao’?

“That’s not good, right?”

Mother Xiao waved her hand. “There’s nothing bad about it. I think it’s pretty good.”

Xiao Baili also said, “Uncle Xiao, I think it’s pretty good too.”

The corner of Xiao Yuanshi’s mouth twitched. “Those who didn’t know would have thought that you are calling your father’s elder brother.”

Wouldn’t his big brother take advantage of him like this?

Moreover, if his daughter went out and called him that, how would others view him?

They would only think that their family relationship was too messy.

Xiao Baili rolled her eyes in her heart.

Her scumbag father really had a lot of things to do. “Our family has already split up and lives separately. I don’t have an uncle (father’s elder brother), anymore.

“But since you don’t like it, I’ll call you ex-father.

“I see that you’re quite happy that my sister-in-law is calling you ex-father-in-law.”

Mother Xiao said beside her, “Just call him that. He should like this.”

Xiao Yuanshi remained silent.

He wished that he could slap that bad daughter-in-law to death. What was there to his liking and be happy about.

Then, he could not help but say earnestly, “Yuelan, you and Bai Li have changed. It’s better to be gentle and ladylike like you were in the past.

“Don’t learn from Shi Qingluo. It’s not good for women to be too shrewd.” This was his main point.

He added worriedly, “Especially since Baili hasn’t gotten married yet. If she’s always so sharp-tongued and her words are so evil, how will she be able to find a husband?”

Initially, Mother Xiao was still very calm.

Now that she heard Xiao Yuanshi say that, she could not accept it.

“If I’m still as weak and easily bullied as before, won’t you bully and deceive me again?

“Moreover, my daughter-in-law is very good. Don’t speak ill of her in front of me.”

She raised her hand and clenched her fist. “If you say that my daughter-in-law isn’t good, I’ll beat you up.”

Today they were too far apart. If she wanted to beat up this scumbag man, he would definitely be on guard.

There was still a big gap between her and his physical strength.

Because of this, she felt a little regretful.

Otherwise, she would really want to slap him a few more times.

Xiao Yuanshi also did not know what she was thinking.

Otherwise, he would have vomited blood.

What kind of woman was this?

She actually thought about hitting her husband all day long.

Even though they had divorced, Xiao Yuanshi had always treated Kong Yuelan as his people.

He looked at the way she raised her fist and did not know whether to laugh or cry. “She can also be considered my daughter-in-law. Do you have to go so far when I comment a little about her?”

Mother Xiao said decisively, “Of course I have to. My daughter-in-law is the best. You don’t have the right to say that.

“Also, you have to remember that we are no longer related. You are no longer her father-in-law.

“But her former father-in-law.” She emphasized the last three words.

Needless to say, this scumbag man was suitable to be an ex-father-in-law.

The way his son and daughter-in-law addressed him was really appropriate.

Xiao Yuanshi thought to himself, that’s enough. How did this woman learn to be so difficult and sharp-tongued?

He said speechlessly, “I’m not going to comment on her, alright?”

After Kong Yuelan left him, her judgment of others turned from bad to worse.

She actually valued a daughter-in-law like Shi Qingluo who was unreasonable, difficult, and venomous.

How could such an unruly village woman be worthy of his eldest son.

Back then, he really shouldn’t have cut ties with her.

Since Kong Yuelan wasn’t willing to be a concubine, then he would let Ge Chunru be his co-wife.

This way, he could still stop his eldest son from marrying Shi Qingluo, who caused more chaos in the family and liked to be a demon.

At this moment, Xiao Yuanshi deliberately ignored the fact that when he raised his petite wife outside, she firmly refused to be on equal footing with Kong Yuelan and didn’t want him to have other women.

Otherwise, he would not have gone through so much trouble in order to satisfy his petite wife’s wishes.

How could Mother Xiao not see that he was perfunctory?

She could not be bothered to nag at him anymore. “You should go back and settle the matter of transferring the ownership of the manor. We will go back first.”

Xiao Yuanshi sighed, she was throwing him away after using it!

In the past, every time he went home, her heart would always be filled with him.

Even if she did not say anything, she would be happy as long as she stayed by his side.

Now, she actually did not want to stay with him any longer?

This made Xiao Yuanshi feel very uncomfortable.

He also felt as if he had lost something.

However, he knew that he could not force her too much.

He would only go to the northern border three months later.

He believed that this little bit of time would be enough to coax Kong Yuelan, his daughter, and his youngest son back.

“Alright, then I’ll change the land deed and send it to you.”

Mother Xiao nodded. “Alright.”

Then, she pulled Xiao Baili along and boarded the carriage without any reluctance.

After receiving a glance from Xiao Yuanshi, the servant drove the carriage out of the forest.

Xiao Yuanshi’s gaze was dark as he looked ahead.

He did not turn around and ride his horse until the carriage disappeared.

A moment after he left, a handsome man jumped down from a big tree not far away.

A few guards also jumped down from the other big trees.

“Come on, let’s go see the doctor!”
