They berated her without a shred of guilt.
âHai Xiaotang, do you even care about whether your grandfather lives or dies anymore? The trial is about to start and not only are you not coming up with a solution, you are spending all your days at home. Are you being fair to your grandfather?â
Zhang Yu was also inflamed with anger, âXiaotang, your grandfather adores you the most, and heâs always been good to you. Do you really not care about his wellbeing?â
Hai Xiaotang was choking with the criticisms thrown at her.
Ever since her grandfatherâs mishap, she had been trying every possible way to help.
She sought help from others and ran around in desperation.
It seemed that all her efforts were for naught in their eyes.
But she didnât need them to know everything.
âI will find a way to save grandfather. I will not disregard his situation.â Hai Xiaotang said calmly.
Hai Rong scoffed, âAnd what exactly is your solution? Just sitting at home all day doing nothing?â
âIâve thought of all possible solutionsâ¦â
âDid you seek help from Dongfang Yu, as you were told?â
ââ¦â
Hai Xiaotangâs silence was an admission in Hai Rongâs eyes.
He was incredibly angry, âHai Xiaotang, is it so hard for you to ask him for help? Your grandfather has done so much for you. All that we asked is for you to seek help on his behalf, but you couldnât even do that?!â
Hai Xiaotang was running out of patience, âDongfang Yu wonât agreeâ¦ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHow would you know if you never asked him?! I believe youâre being ungrateful, you donât even care about your grandfatherâs wellbeing!â
Hai Xiaotang, swallowing her anger, said, âUncle, I donât want to have this conversation with you. How I feel about grandfather, I know clearly. I do not need to explain everything to you.â
âYou dare to argue back!â Hai Rong charged at her, raising his hand as if to hit her.
Hai Xiaotangâs eyes widened in shock, but luckily, Zhang Yu managed to stop him.
Zhang Yu sighed, âXiaotang, donât blame your uncle for treating you this way, heâs very worried about your grandfather too. Try pleading with Dongfang Yu. If theyâre willing to give up charges, which suggests they wonât annihilate us completely. Maybe if you ask him, he might agree on your behalf.â
âHow can he possibly agree?! Grandfather is their enemy. Them willing to go this far is already the biggest concession theyâre willing to make!â Hai Xiaotang said, taking a deep breath, âAunt, Iâve pleaded with him, but he didnât agree. I donât want to beg him anymore.â
âYouâ¦â Upon hearing this, Hai Rong flew into a rage again.
He pointed to the door, âHai Xiaotang, get out! We, the Hai family, donât need someone as ungrateful as you. Leave!â
âXiaotang, quickly apologize to your uncle, and tell him that you will ask Dongfang Yu for help, heâll calm down then.â Zhang Yu tried to ease the situation.
As if Hai Xiaotang could not see through their true intentions.
If she could, she wouldnât mind begging Dongfang Yu, but itâs really useless.
Dongfang Yu will not agree. Going to him for help would just be humiliating herself.
Moreover, she doesnât want to say that Tao Yi could rescue her grandfather.
If Tao Yi eventually cannot save grandfather, uncle will undoubtedly blame him.
So, before she succeeds, she dares not say anything.
She canât let Tao Yi make others unhappy by doing good deeds.
But Hai Rong and the others are staunch on having her beg Dongfang Yu.
âHai Xiaotang, if you donât find a way to rescue your grandfather, then you are not one of the Hai family! Donât forget, your grandfather got into this mess because of trying to save you! Starting from today, unless you can find a solution, donât come back again!â
Hai Rongâs decision was firm, extreme to the point of being cold-blooded.
And then, Hai Xiaotang was really ruthlessly driven out of the houseâ¦
