The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex

Ye Snr.’s face also broke into one of his rare smiles. He had been looking forward to a grandson but at sixty years of age, he was finally a grandfather. Besides, he doesn’t have much time left to live.

“It’s been hard on you, child,” Ye Snr. looked kindly at He Xiyan.

Then, he took out a manila folder from his bag.

“This is for the child, please keep it for her...” He Xiyan looked in surprise at the document envelope and bit her lips tightly. She assumed that it was money but wondered why the money wasn’t given in a red packet but a manila folder instead?

“Thanks, dad!” She still quickly thanked him for the gift despite not knowing what it was.

She knew that her parents-in-law must have been hoping for a grandson even though they had never mentioned it.

Xia Jingshu opened the manila folder and instead of cash, she took out a stack of documents, verification documents and certificates.

He Xiyan looked at these documents in confusion and Ye Hao was also a little surprised.

Xia Jingshu said with a smile, “Yan Yan, this is a present that your father-in-law has prepared for his grandchild. These are the property deeds and the related documentation for three mansions with river views and a shopping mall within the business district. These will all be transferred to the child’s name in the future.”

He Xiyan was stunned and shock flashed past her eyes. Her daughter had only just been born but was now an owner of so many properties. Each mansion with a river-view at Ye City was worth several million dollars and these three mansion alone were worth close to $30 million. Furthermore, a mid-sized shopping mall within Ye City would be worth at least $117 million.

Her little princess was truly born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

Wang Lan and Qin Xiaoyu watched this scene with expressions of disbelief.

God, this little princess now had a net worth of $147 million right after being born. How were ordinary people like them going to live? Getting reincarnated into the right family was really a profound skill.

“Dad....this....” He Xiyan didn’t know what to say. She had seen people who gave children red packets or accessories or jade ornaments but this was the first time she had seen someone who was so rich that he immediately gave the child a stack of property deeds.

Ye Snr. smiled and said, “Take it. Each child of the Ye family is entitled to some kind of property when they are born, so this is merely what your child is entitled to.”

He had so many assets under his name but these were all meant for his descendants anyway.

He Xiyan grew extremely emotional as she looked at the stack of property deeds, then she turned to look at her husband. Frankly, this expression seemed extremely surreal to her.

“Thanks, dad,” she finally thanked him again. Then, she scratched her head as she remembered an important matter.

“Oh yes, dad. Please think of a name for our daughter.”

“A name...” Ye Snr. suddenly frowned. He had indeed come up with several names earlier but they were all meant for boys; he had not even thought of a girl’s name at all.

“Yes, you’re the child’s grandfather and an elder to her. You should be given the right to name her,” He Xiyan said with a smile.

She had discussed this issue with Ye Hao and they had also come up with several names but she thought it would be best to respect her parents-in-law’s decision.

Ye Hao agreed and said, “Dad, come up with a name.”

“Sure...” Ye Snr. agreed. He then walked to the windowsill and quickly tried to think of a suitable name.

He liked names that conveyed a good message and were easy to pronounce but these kinds of names were very common.

A while later, Ye Snr. turned around and looked at He Xiyan.

“Shall we call her Zixi?”

“Zixi?” He Xiyan asked in confusion. She didn’t know which Chinese characters he was referring to.
