Chapter 657 - Unfilial Descendants who Abandoned His Wive and Child
Chapter 657: Unfilial Descendants who Abandoned His Wive and Child
After Gong Tianhao returned to the capital, he did not see his grandfather, whom he had not seen for two years. Thus, he asked the butler in puzzlement, “Uncle Gong, where is grandfather?”
The Butler shook his head and said, “Eldest young master, I don’t know either. However, eldest young master, don’t worry. With Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang by old master’s side, he is very safe.”
Gong Tianhao frowned. Of course, he knew that his grandfather was very safe. However, his grandfather hadn’t seen him for two years. Shouldn’t they have a touching reunion? But he came home, and his grandfather was gone.
“Cough cough...” Situ Xing, who was at the side, clenched his fist and coughed twice. “I think I know where the old master is.”
Gong Tianhao glared at him sharply and said sternly, “Then hurry up and tell me!”
Situ Xing looked around and lowered his head slightly. He said to Gong Tianhao, who was sitting in the wheelchair, “Boss, if I’m not wrong, the old master has probably gone to...” he did not say it directly. He pointed in a certain direction with his finger.
Gong Tianhao’s face darkened when he heard that. He said unhappily, “Why is grandfather in such a hurry? Are they more important than his grandson?”
‘Of course, they are!’ Situ Xing thought to himself. But he didn’t say that out loud. He did not want to upset his boss anymore. If Gong Tianhao was unhappy, he might really sent Situ Xing to Africa.
After a moment of silence, Gong Tianhao ordered Situ Xing, “Situ Xing, I need to recover as soon as possible. Otherwise, you can go to Africa.”
‘All these threats...’ Situ Xing said helplessly, “Boss, even if you send me to Africa this time, I can’t do much. The recovery of the body must be made step by step. There is no shortcut.”
The Butler said with a smile, “Young Master Situ, before the Old Master left, he asked me to give you something.”
Situ Xing immediately asked curiously, “What is it?”
Butler Gong said, “The master didn’t explain it to me. He just told me that you would understand once I bring it to you. Mr. Situ, please wait for a moment. I will bring it to you immediately.”
Situ Xing nodded and said, “Oh. I’ll have to trouble Uncle Gong.”
A moment later, Situ Xing saw Butler Gong carrying two buckets of water over. His eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly ran over to take the water from the butler. He smiled and said, “Thank you, Uncle Gong!”
Butler Gong was puzzled as to why the two buckets of water were so valued by the old master and Situ Xing. The old master had given him a glass of this water to drink before. It was unusually sweet and refreshing.
Furthermore, he also realized that after drinking the water, he realized that his body was getting healthier. However, he had never asked about the water.
Situ Xing smiled so much that his eyes became two lines. He hugged the two buckets of water as if they were his precious treasures. He was very touched as he said, “The old master is really my soulmate. He actually left this for me.”
Ever since Gong Tianhao woke up and learned that Gong Tianhao had really lost his memory, Situ Xing had never fed Gong Tianhao this water again. He only continued to give him the medicine.
Gong Tianhao looked at Situ Xing’s silly smile and said somewhat speechlessly, “Isn’t this just ordinary water? Look at how happy you are. You look like a fool.”
Situ Xing shook his head and said, “Boss, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you. It’s because you’ve lost your memory. Uncle Gong, does the old master have anything else to say?”
Butler Gong said very seriously, “Yes, yes. The old master said he’s not going to see the eldest young master before he regains his memory. He said that he doesn’t have such an unfilial grandson who abandoned his wife and children.”
Gong Tianhao, “...”
“Huh?!” Situ Xing was a little surprised. Then, he nodded and said very seriously, “Yes, in order to help the family reunite, I’ll do my best to help the young master recover his memory.”
Butler Gong smiled and said, “Then, thank you very much, young master Situ!”
Gong Tianhao, “...” All of them have turned against me for the sake of one woman. But I have no memory of that woman at all. I know I wouldn’t like any strange woman. But this woman is not simple. She has easily bought everyone around me.
Situ Xing then smiled and said to Butler Gong, “Uncle Gong, please push boss into the room. I will treat boss properly.”
“Okay, Young Master Situ!” Butler Gong said with a smile.
After Butler Gong pushed Gong Tianhao into the rehabilitation room, Butler Gong left and closed the door.
Gong Tianhao glanced at Situ Xing, who was holding two buckets of water as if they were his precious treasures, and said calmly, “Tell me, what’s with the water?”
Situ Xing was stunned for a moment and said, “What do you mean?”
Gong Tianhao said unhappily, “Situ Xing, you’re still playing dumb. You know what I’m asking.”
“Sigh.” Situ Xing put the two buckets of water in his arms away, and his expression became serious. He said, “Boss, because you lost your memory, I can’t tell you what’s going on.
“But don’t worry, this water is not ordinary water. It’s celestial water. If you want to recover as soon as possible, you have to drink this water every day.”
Gong Tianhao frowned and asked with some doubt, “So, this water is related to that woman, isn’t it?”
Whether it was Situ Xing or his grandfather, they would only become more cautious when it was related to Xiao Lingyu.
Situ Xing remained silent.
This meant that it was indeed related to that woman.
Situ Xing sighed and said, “Boss, we shouldn’t be the ones to tell you this secret. You’ll either remember the secret, or sister-in-law will tell you again personally. Actually, even I can’t tell you much because I don’t know her secret.”
Gong Tianhao immediately fell silent.
He felt as if his surroundings were under some kind of spell. Everywhere he went, there was Xiao Lingyu, that woman.
Situ Xing studied Gong Tianhao and said nothing. He took out a transparent crystal cup from his medicine box.
Then, he opened one of the buckets and filled the cup.
Situ Xing walked up to Gong Tianhao and handed the cup to him. “Boss, drink it first. After you drink it, you’ll know more.”
During Gong Tianhao’s two years in country M, someone would send water over every once in a while. The transporter was definitely someone trusted by Old Master Gong.
Other than Situ Xing, no one knew Gong Tianhao’s recovery had everything to do with this water. As for the aides that delivered the water, even though they were curious, they were trained not to ask too many questions.
Gong Tianhao looked at the water in the crystal cup. It was obviously no different from normal water, so why did Situ Xing and his grandfather treat it so special?
Gong Tianhao took the cup with a puzzled and curious heart and took a sip. Then, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Situ Xing in disbelief, “This water...”
As soon as he drank the water, he knew how special the water was.
Normal water was a colorless, tasteless, and transparent liquid.
However, this water was fresh and sweet. It also had a refreshing fragrance.
Situ Xing looked at Gong Tianhao and said very seriously, “Boss, you can recover from your vegetative state so quickly because of this water. This water can strengthen your body and cure all diseases. It even has the miraculous effect of rejuvenating your youth.”
Gong Tianhao’s pupils constricted. He could not help but reveal a shocked and incredulous expression.
Then, Situ Xing continued, “And only sister-in-law has this water.” As for why Xiao Lingyu had it, Situ Xing didn’t know. This was a secret that belonged to Xiao Lingyu.
Situ Xing thought for a moment and said, “Boss, do you think sister-in-law will still be safe if this kind of water is exposed?”
Gong Tianhao’s pupils constricted again. The hand holding the cup trembled.
“So, sister-in-law needs a strong rock. That way, even if the secret is exposed, she’ll still be safe.” Situ Xing said this as he watched Gong Tianhao’s expression change.
Gong Tianhao, “...” Am I supposed to be that rock?
