"Did you know about your brother-in-law, your two sisters, and that bastard child from the beginning?" Grandma Meng Zhimeng demanded as soon as Leng Zhimeng returned home.
"Mom, your daughters and brother-in-law did this for your own good, to prevent you from being angered to death!" Leng Zhimeng quickly tried to placate her once the matter was exposed.
"Yes, that's not wrong. You are all indeed driving me to an early grave!" Grandma Meng said through gritted teeth.
"Yes, Mom, it's all brother-in-law's fault. He's the scoundrel. I'll find a way to lure him back, and then you can teach him a good lesson!" Leng Zhimeng quickly agreed. In fact, Boss Huang had long known that the matter couldn't be hidden from his mother-in-law forever and had already prepared a countermeasure. That was for Boss Huang to apologize, accept any punishment, and then let bygones be bygones.
Boss Huang understood his mother-in-law. She wouldn't stay angry with him over such a matter for long.
As it turned out, Boss Huang's prediction was correct. Grandma Meng frowned and said directly, "Wrong, wrong, wrong. What's the use of talking about right and wrong now? The key is to solve the problem. I called you here to discuss how to properly handle this matter!"
"Mom, the situation is actually quite well-handled now. Second sister, third sister, and Hu Jing have already discussed it. Hu Jing will always be just a mistress, and only the two sisters can be wives!" Leng Zhimeng sighed. "I know this outcome is frustrating, but brother-in-law already has a child. This is the best solution. Otherwise, should second and third sisters divorce brother-in-law?"
"Divorce? Do they even need to divorce? They don't even have marriage certificates. Your brother-in-law is still legally single. Can you threaten your brother-in-law with a divorce?" Grandma Meng sneered.
"But my sisters have a good relationship with brother-in-law. Brother-in-law and that Hu Jing were just impulsive. His feelings for my second and third sisters are real!" Leng Zhimeng quickly added.
"I know their feelings are real, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to both of them marrying your brother-in-law. Even without marriage certificates, I foresaw that sooner or later some temptress would target your brother-in-law!"
"But the key problem now is not this temptress, but the child born to that temptress. Have you ever considered that even if your brother-in-law's feelings for your two sisters are deep, the property will ultimately be passed down to his own offspring? If your brother-in-law only has this one bastard child, will the Jiangnan Group have anything to do with us in the future?"
"Will your two sisters still have inheritance rights to the Jiangnan Group?" Grandma Meng said worriedly. Indeed, Grandma Meng's thoughts were always so intricate, and the wealthier our Boss Huang became, the more complex her ideas grew.
"Alas, I only agreed to your third sister marrying your brother-in-law because I considered that your second sister couldn't have children. I didn't expect your third sister's situation to be the same as your second sister's, both unable to bear children. In the end, an outsider managed to get ahead and gave birth to this bastard."
"Mom, don't speak so harshly. What era is this? Still talking about bastards and outsiders... This is a civilized society!" Leng Zhimeng couldn't help but retort.
"Civilized society? Heh, civilized society, and your two sisters would marry the same brother-in-law?" Grandma Meng's counter-question left Leng Zhimeng speechless.
"Then fine, you tell me what to do. I'll listen to you!" Leng Zhimeng, unable to argue with her own mother, said so.
"Good, this is my good daughter!" Grandma Meng nodded and continued, "The key to the problem lies with the child. Given your sisters' and brother-in-law's relationship, if they can have a child of their own, then the Jiangnan Group must belong to that child. The bastard will at most get some scraps, and that will be enough!"
"Your second sister can no longer have children. The problem lies with your third sister. I don't know if she doesn't want to have children or if she's like her second sister and can't. Every time I ask her about children, she refuses to answer. Your crucial task now is to find out your third sister's situation and report it to me immediately, then we can make further plans!" Grandma Meng's command was very firm, and Leng Zhimeng had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Don't try to fool me with this matter again!" Just as Leng Zhimeng was pondering how to deceive her mother, Grandma Meng suddenly added, "If I find out you've lied to me about this, I'll give that thing to your brother-in-law!"
"Mom..." Leng Zhimeng's expression changed drastically. She glared at her mother angrily, but ultimately had no choice but to nod and agree.
——————————
"That's the situation. Mom has completely exposed herself. You'd better give her a reasonable explanation, or all four of us will be finished!" Grandma Meng, to her surprise, never imagined that her own daughter would turn around and betray her. As soon as she returned, she found Leng Zhiwen and told her everything.
"Third sister, can you really have children? You have to give me a truthful answer! You're not really unwilling to give brother-in-law a child because you cherish your celebrity career, are you!" Leng Zhimeng said dejectedly.
"I can have children, but I need to break through another realm before I can have them. Otherwise, all my martial arts will be ruined!" Leng Zhiwen also looked helpless.
It wasn't that she was reluctant to give up her celebrity career. It was impossible not to have children. In fact, with the Jiangnan Group behind her, Leng Zhiwen would always be a world-class celebrity with endless offers for major films, so she didn't have to worry about the problem of a year-long hiatus due to childbirth.
However, she was a martial artist, and a true martial artist at that. She was only one step away from the next realm. Throughout history, those who reached that realm were all super grandmasters.
Distant examples included Zhang Sanfeng, and more recent ones like Yang Luchan, as well as other grandmasters from the Republic of China era. Thus, Leng Zhiwen was only one step away from becoming a super expert. Moreover, Leng Zhiwen was still a little under thirty years old, and by age alone, she could already be called the foremost female chivalrous warrior of all time.
But the problem was that if a woman gave birth, her qi and blood would undergo tremendous changes. Although Leng Zhiwen's martial arts wouldn't completely disappear, a regression of several realms was a certainty.
And it would be completely impossible to regain that level of cultivation because a person's physique would be completely different. This was a fatal problem for martial artists.
However, this problem could be solved after Leng Zhiwen broke through. As long as Leng Zhiwen could enter that peerless realm, she would be able to completely control her qi and blood. Then, her qi and blood would move with her thoughts, and even if she had children, she wouldn't have to worry about her cultivation level declining.
In short, Leng Zhiwen could not get pregnant before breaking through, unless she was willing to give up all her martial arts. But asking Leng Zhiwen to give up her martial arts was worse than asking her to quit acting.
After listening to her third sister's explanation, Leng Zhimeng was completely helpless. She rolled her eyes and said, "It's over. If I tell my mom this, she'll definitely make a fuss, and the whole family won't have a moment's peace!"
"You, second sister, and I, none of us will have a peaceful life!" Leng Zhimeng, who understood her mother's personality extremely well, said with a pained expression.
"Actually, the key to the problem lies with the child. Mom doesn't care about Hu Jing. If we can give Mom a child, then Mom won't fuss!" Leng Zhiwen mused. "I also want a child. Although Little Ququ is very cute, he is indeed someone else's child!" Leng Zhiwen's maternal affection was also touched. If it weren't for her martial arts standing in the way, she would have had children long ago.
"What you're saying is like farting. Mom wants a child born to us daughters, not a child picked up from the street. Second sister can't have children, and you can't have children, so you can't expect me to have one, can you!" Leng Zhimeng mumbled.
As soon as Leng Zhimeng said this, she regretted it, because she noticed her sister looking at her with a very strange gaze.
"Sister, you're not thinking of pushing your own sister into the fire pit, are you!" Leng Zhimeng suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body. "I'm currently the world's second-richest person. I have plenty of money and games. I can live the most carefree life in this world. Don't push me into your three-person love triangle. I really have no interest in brother-in-law!"
Leng Zhimeng fully understood her third sister's principles. Although Leng Zhiwen was usually very aloof, it was because she disdained many of the world's rules.
Since she disdained rules, she would also disdain things like monogamy. Therefore, she was truly capable of pushing her own sister into a love triangle.
"It's not that bad. I just want to borrow your womb... No, I want to borrow some of the little yolks in your womb!" Leng Zhiwen touched her nose and said. This was a good habit she learned from Huang He.
"What do you mean?" Leng Zhimeng was even more afraid.
"Look, the problem with our second sister is that her ovarian follicles have congenital dysplasia, and there are no mature little yolks inside. However, her uterus is normal, and all the conditions inside are normal. As long as a sperm can enter, it can develop into an embryo."
"So, if we can obtain a qualified sperm with our Leng family's bloodline and implant it into second sister's body through IVF, then second sister can get pregnant and have children normally!" Leng Zhiwen said, slapping her thigh in excitement. "This idea is brilliant! Why didn't I think of this before?"
"Actually, second sister has always had a hurdle in her heart, feeling that she would never be able to be a normal mother in her life. If this is done, then second sister will be completely liberated, her mind will be at ease, and she will live at least 20 more years in the future!"
