Chapter 240: Speechless Gong Tianhao
Translator: Lonelytree
Gong Tianhao left after chatting with Father Xiao for a while.
He didn’t go back to report to his grandfather as soon as he arrived at Taoyuan Village. Instead, he went straight to the Xiao family home. His grandfather must be stewing in anger.
He had to go back and explain as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be a big problem if there was a misunderstanding between his grandfather and Xiao Lingyu.
Father Xiao chatted happily with Gong Tianhao. When Gong Tianhao left, he said, “Tianhao, make sure that you invite your grandfather and Xiao Wang, Xiao Zhang, and the others over for a meal later.”
Gong Tianhao nodded and replied, “Okay!”
His grandfather liked to eat Auntie’s cooking, so he would definitely come over as soon as he was called.
...
After knowing that Gong Tianhao went directly to the Xiao family, Old Master Gong sat in the living room with an imposing manner and a serious expression.
Seeing this, Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang looked at each other and knew that the old chief was unhappy. Then again, the eldest young master was at fault.
They had received a call from Assistant Li that the eldest young master was going to give their old chief a surprise. But it seemed like the eldest young master went to give the Xiao Family the surprise first.
Xiao Wang looked at his watch. It was already past ten o’clock.
The eldest young master arrived at Taoyuan Village before eight o’clock. He had already stayed at the Xiao family for more than two hours. What exactly was it that made the eldest young master so patient to stay there for more than two hours?
Xiao Wang moved his feet and walked towards the old master. He asked carefully, “Chief, why don’t we go to the Xiao family and have a look!”
Old Master liked to visit the Xiao Family. Even if he was angry, he shouldn’t vent his anger on the Xiao Family. He would only be angry at the eldest young master.
“I’m not going!” Old Master Gong replied coldly.
Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang looked at each other again.
Their old chief was really angry this time. Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang didn’t want to get into trouble, so they could only stand by the side and wait!
Fortunately, they didn’t have to wait for long before Gong Tianhao came back with a suitcase in his hand.
When Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang saw him, their eyes lit up.
“Eldest young master!” The two of them called out respectfully.
Gong Tianhao grunted indifferently.
Xiao Wang reminded Gong Tianhao, “Eldest young master, the chief is...”
Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “I know. You can leave now.”
“Yes!”
Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang left so that the grandfather and grandson could converse in private.
Before they left, they took Gong Tianhao’s luggage and coat with them.
After there was no one else, Gong Tianhao called out, “Grandfather, I’m here!”
Old Master Gong snorted coldly and said sternly, “So you still remember I’m your grandfather. I thought you only remember that girl, Xiao Lingyu.”
When Gong Tianhao heard this, he smiled and said, “Grandfather, have you already known?”
Old Master Gong said sternly, “I’m your grandfather. How could I not know what you’ve done?”
“Grandfather!” Gong Tianhao called out endearingly.
“Stop that.” Old Master Gong waved his hand and said, “Tell me the truth. Have you taken a fancy to that lass, Lingyu?”
Otherwise, what reason would his grandson have to run towards the Xiao family as soon as he arrived at Taoyuan Village?
“Yes!” Gong Tianhao didn’t deny it.
“Bastard!” Grandfather Gong scolded sternly, “Gong Tianhao, do you know what you’re doing?”
“I do!” Gong Tianhao’s cold expression was also unusually serious.
“Do you?” Grandfather Gong asked sternly, “Don’t you know that what you’re doing will cause the Gong Family to lose face?” Xiao Lingyu was pregnant with a child, and the father of the child was unknown. If she married Gong Tianhao, who was going to raise that illegitimate child?
His Hao ‘Er? This would be a joke at the capital.
Gong Tianhao disapproved.
He asked in an unusually serious tone, “Grandfather, is the Gong Family’s face more important than your grandson’s happiness?”
Old Master Gong,”...” This brat.
After a moment of silence, Old Master Gong asked, “Hao ‘Er, tell me, are you serious about Lingyu?”
“Of course!” Gong Tianhao was unwilling to lie to Old Master Gong and said honestly, “Grandfather, I came to Taoyuan Village this time to pursue Xiao Lingyu. I might even need grandfather’s help!”
When Grandfather Gong heard this, he was in disbelief. He widened his eyes and said, “You’re asking your grandfather for help? Are you crazy? Do you want me to ruin the family’s reputation?”
Gong Tianhao, “...”
Gong Tianhao took a deep breath and threw an atomic bomb at Grandfather Gong.
“Grandfather, I’m afraid I really need your help!” Gong Tianhao said, “Because the child in Xiao Lingyu’s stomach is my son, my biological son, and also your great-grandson, your biological great-grandson!”
“What?” After hearing that, Grandfather Gong stood up from his seat in shock. He looked very excited and asked while suppressing his emotions, “Hao ‘Er, is what you said true? The child in Lingyu’s stomach is your son, my great-grandson. You aren’t lying to me, are you?”
This wasn’t a dream, right? A moment ago, he was still worried about his grandson’s marriage. The next moment, he was told that not only did he have a granddaughter-in-law, he even had a great-grandson. Was this the surprise Li Yuanhang was talking about?
Gong Tianhao said, “Grandfather, I’m not lying to you. Everything I said is true. The child in Xiao Lingyu’s stomach is my biological son. After I received this news, I rushed here as fast as I could because I wanted to take a look at the mother and child.”
At this moment, Old Master Gong could no longer suppress his excitement. He laughed out loud happily, “Haha. Good. This is wonderful. I didn’t expect to live to see my great-grandson and granddaughter-in-law. I can die happy now.”
“Grandfather, what are you talking about? You’re not going to die!” When Gong Tianhao heard that, he was scared. He reminded his grandfather, “Grandpa, now you have a granddaughter-in-law and a great-grandson. You should stick around to watch your great-grandson grow up healthily.”
When Old Master Gong heard this, he immediately nodded and said, “Yes, yes, you’re right. I shouldn’t have said that. I also want to watch my granddaughter-in-law marry into the Gong Family and watch my great-grandson grow up.”
“Yes, Grandpa. You’re right.” Gong Tianhao was touched. “I hope you can live a long and healthy life so you can enjoy the happiness of a loving family!”
“Hao ‘Er, you’re correct, of course.” Old Master Gong nodded. “I have a granddaughter-in-law and a great-grandson. I should stay to look after my granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson. That way, I’ll be able to explain myself to your parents and grandmother.”
Gong Tianhao was completely relieved this time. He didn’t have to worry about his grandfather suddenly wanting to see his grandmother anymore.
“Oh, right, Hao ‘Er, what exactly is going on?” After calming down, Old Master Gong finally thought of asking the truth.
Gong Tianhao didn’t hide anything from his grandfather. He started the incident that happened half a year ago in City Z. Gong Tianhao told his grandfather everything.
When Old Master Gong heard this, he raised his walking stick and swept it at Gong Tianhao’s back. He scolded, “You Brat, how can you take advantage of the girl and then suspect her of having an ulterior motive?”
Gong Tianhao admitted his mistake decisively and said, “Grandfather, I was wrong!”
His grandfather was right. If he had started the investigation back then, he would have found out Xiao Lingyu was framed and drugged. She didn’t have any motive to approach him.
He would then prevent his good brother from falling in love with her. He would find out about Xiao Lingyu’s pregnancy earlier too.
Old Master Gong struck him with his cane again and continued, “What’s the point of admitting that now? Do you know how many people mocked and criticized that girl? Fortunately, Zhengyang and his wife are good people and truly love their children. Otherwise, you would have caused her death already!”
Gong Tianhao could imagine how many people were mocking and pointing fingers at Xiao Lingyu behind her back.
If Xiao Zhengyang and his wife hadn’t tried their best to protect their daughter, Xiao Lingyu might have really taken two lives at once.
“I was wrong!” Gong Tianhao said with regret.
When Old Master Gong was a little tired from beating Gong Tianhao, he panted heavily. Gong Tianhao was immediately worried. He went over and helped Old Master Gong to a chair to sit down. Then, he brought the water to him, “Grandpa, drink some water and rest for a while. You shouldn’t get so worked up over my mistake. I’ll punish myself. You shouldn’t tire yourself out like this.”
Old Master Gong drank some water to soothe his breathing.
Old Master Gong waved his hand and said with a smile, “You Brat, I know what you’re thinking. You want me to beat you so that you could earn some pity points from Xiao Lingyu, right?”
Gong Tianhao said with a smile, “Grandpa knows me too well.”
“Alright. I’m tired, and I don’t want to beat you anymore.” Old Master Gong asked, “What do you plan to do now? You have a few problems that need to be solved.
“First, there is the issue between you and Jiang Tao. It was Jiang Tao who liked Lingyu first, but you slept with her first and even had a child. Aren’t you afraid that Jiang Tao will come after you with a gun?
“The second question is, it’s clear that Lingyu is resistant around you. How are you going to win her over?
“The third question is probably the most difficult question for you. When Zhengyang and his wife find out the truth, they’ll probably want to kill you. How are you going to solve that?”
At this point, Old Master Gong sighed. Then, he grinned.?“So, young man, you have to work hard! Grandpa has big hopes for you. You’ll definitely overcome all these obstacles.”
Gong Tianhao,”...”
‘Grandpa, why are you so happy over my misery? Don’t you know that if I can’t get a wife, you won’t have a granddaughter-in-law and a great-grandson either?’
Gong Tianhao couldn’t help but remind him, “Grandfather, you can’t just watch the show and not help me. You have to know that if you don’t help me, who knows when your granddaughter-in-law will be able to enter the Gong family and when you can hold your great-grandchild?”
Old Master Gong, “...” This brat.
Old Master Gong immediately waved his hand and said, “I’m fine with it. I live here now. If I want to see my granddaughter-in-law and my great-grandson, I’ll go to the Xiao family.
“As for the matter of my granddaughter-in-law entering the Gong Family, I don’t mind waiting. It’ll happen sooner or later anyway. I respect her decision.
“But you’re different. Who are you? You’re Young Master Gong who rules over a big conglomerate. You’re always flying all over the world. How would you have the time to win back the girl slowy? Don’t you agree with me?”
Gong Tianhao, “...”
Earlier, he had rendered Yan Siming speechless, and now he was given his own medicine.
Gong Tianhao sighed. He expected help from his grandfather but it looked like his grandfather was having more fun hindering him. What should he do?
No one gave him an answer.
“Oh, right.” Old Master Gong suddenly stood up and said, “It’s almost 11 o’clock now. I’m going to Zhengyang’s house to visit my granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson. You, take your time to think about it.”
Gong Tian immediately reminded his grandfather with fear, “Grandfather, you can’t let the cat out of the bag and scare my future wife away.”
Grandfather Gong snorted coldly and said, “Do you think I’m you? I know what I’m doing!”
Gong Tianhao, “....”
