My life is ending, and my aloof CEO wife is taking revenge on me.

Chapter 272 Prefer Boys or Girls

Ten days later, Grandma's condition improved, which was a testament to Grandpa's meticulous care.

After her condition improved, Grandma couldn't wait to go home.

My grandfather and I disagreed, but we couldn't persuade her otherwise, so we had to use the hospital as an excuse.

So before my grandmother was discharged from the hospital, she underwent various examinations.

Fortunately, all the final tests came back normal, and my grandfather and I agreed to let my grandmother be discharged from the hospital.

Even after my grandmother was discharged from the hospital, my grandfather and I carefully arranged for a resident doctor to monitor her condition closely.

Fortunately, my grandmother's condition is recovering well.

My grandfather and I tried our best to stay with them, but it was mostly my grandfather who was there.

In many ways, I have gradually taken over the group's work.

Grandma felt much better that day, and even offered to cook for us herself, not letting Grandpa and me help.

My grandfather and I were having tea and talking about the group.

At this moment, Uncle Zhao, my grandfather's former secretary, brought over a stack of documents.

However, he didn't come to see my grandfather; he brought these documents to show me.

A month ago, my grandfather had already transferred some of his authority to me.

My grandfather never treated Uncle Zhao as an outsider. When he arrived, he asked him to sit next to me and drink tea together.

I looked down at the documents while my grandfather and Uncle Zhao started chatting. Every now and then, I could hear Uncle Zhao praising me.

After I finished processing the documents and returned them to Uncle Zhao, he prepared to get up and leave.

At this moment, his grandfather stopped him, "In a few days, I plan to take my wife on a trip, and I'll leave the company to you."

Grandpa looked at me and Uncle Zhao as he spoke.

"But I'm worried that there might be a lot of trouble at the shareholders' meeting a week from now."

Even though my grandfather didn't finish speaking, I knew what he was worried about.

He was afraid that I would be mistreated at the shareholders' meeting, since my sudden appearance would damage the interests of many people.

Even though I didn't think of it that way, this is how it turned out.

The reason my grandfather chose to say this when Uncle Zhao was present was simply to get Uncle Zhao to stand on my side and speak up for me at that time.

After all, Uncle Zhao has been with the group for many years and has a lot of authority.

Grandpa's other intention was simply to get Uncle Zhao to help persuade more people.

Uncle Zhao had been with my grandfather for many years and could easily understand his thoughts.

He nodded hurriedly in agreement, "Don't worry, I'll make arrangements with the people below."

"Moreover, the young master learns quickly and is very capable; he will definitely prove them wrong with his actions. You don't need to worry too much."

Although my grandfather nodded in agreement, the worry in his eyes was genuine.

After Uncle Zhao left, Grandpa suddenly asked me, "I heard you've been doing design work lately. Is your body able to handle it?"

Indeed, even though I've been very busy lately, I've still been doing what I love.

Since I returned to country B, I've found a part-time job to practice my skills, because I don't want to lose what I've learned.

"I don't feel tired when I do what I love. And if I do feel tired, I will stop."

Grandpa was relieved after I said that.

A short while later, Grandma brought out the food she had made herself for us to enjoy.

It's the taste I like, which makes me think that my initial decision to open a restaurant might have something to do with my love for food.

Three days later, my grandparents went on a trip together, and I officially took over most of the group's affairs.

Everything seems to be moving in a positive direction.

I never expected that on the day my grandparents passed away, I would receive another call from Song Yafei.

I instantly became very irritable.

But since she was the one who saved my grandmother, I seemed to have no reason to refuse.

After I answered the phone, Song Yafei asked me, "Is Grandma recovering well?"

I paused for a moment, then tried to answer her in a normal tone, "I'm fine. I've already gone on a trip with my grandfather. Thank you for your concern."

I wanted to end our conversation as soon as possible, but I didn't expect Song Yafei to suddenly ask such a nonsensical question.

"Zhang Tian, ​​do you prefer girls or boys?"

I know she's pregnant, but I don't know why she asked me that.

The child's gender should be her and the child's father's concern, what does it have to do with me?

When we were together, I did fantasize countless times that we would have children of our own in the future.

We have exactly two children, a son and a daughter, making us a warm and happy family of four.

But our wish was never fulfilled until we parted ways.

She has a child with another man, yet she keeps harassing me. What does she want me to say?

Showing off your power in front of me?

Do you want me to say something I regret, or something else?

My heart was filled with mixed feelings, a bittersweet mix of emotions.

"What do you mean by saying this now? My preferences are not important, because your child has nothing to do with me, and you don't need to talk to me about these things."

"What if I say it's important?" Song Yafei asked me tentatively.

I gave a cold laugh. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

"Wait. I just want to know an answer," Song Yafei asked softly on the other end of the phone.

I took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Girl. If I had a choice, I would hope my first child would be a girl."

"Just as I thought."

For some reason, Song Yafei's tone carried a hint of happiness.

She then said a few more random things before hanging up the phone.

But because of her phone call, I couldn't sleep at all.

I got up and drew back the curtains. The bright moon hung in the sky, dotted with stars, but even such a beautiful night sky could not soothe my troubled heart.

I don't understand what Song Yafei meant by that, and I even suspect that she did it on purpose.

I originally thought that after the divorce, we could live peacefully together and not bother each other.

But to my surprise, she still managed to easily disrupt my mind.

I couldn't help but recall the days of the past, and was instantly enveloped in fear, even breaking out in a cold sweat.

I don't want to, and can't, live that kind of life anymore.

The only thing to do was to cut off contact with Song Yafei.

I looked at the phone in my hand, took out the SIM card without hesitation, and then casually tossed it away.

I didn't hesitate. Now that she has started a new life, there should be no more ties between us.

The next day, I asked my assistant to get me a new phone card.

After getting the card, I called Lin Qiuran and my maternal grandparents. I didn't tell anyone else besides them.

Without Song Yafei's interference, my life quickly returned to peace and simplicity.

The castle and the company are just two points in a row.

Two days later, the group's board of directors finally convened.

Just as my grandfather had predicted, when I appeared at the board meeting, someone quickly stood up to object.

I know that many people are not satisfied with me being the acting president who was parachuted in.

I can understand, but I never expected that the first person to attack me would be someone related to me by blood.
