Mother Gu hurried to stop him. âDad, what are you doing? If you have something to say just say it out!â
âIs he speaking human language?â Father Gu gasped heavily.
After mother Gu soothed him and he sat down, she looked speechlessly at the determined Gu Xingshen. âXiao Shen! Whatâs going on? How come youâre like this towards Xiao Qiao⦠Your ageâ¦â
After his mother brought up this age issue that was prickling his heart, Gu Xingshen said immediately, âIâm only eight years older than Xiao Qiao.â
Father Gu looked at him. âIâm telling you, donât even think about it. Unless I die, I will never let her through our door! The Gu family only recognizes Gong Hannian as our daughter-in-law!â
Gu Xingshen was also about to speak when mother Gu shook her head, indicating for him not to.
When father Gu was in a state of great anger, he wouldnât listen to anything at all.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDad, donât get so agitated! Xiao Shen has been obedient since he was a child and we have never had to worry about him. Since he has made such a decision, he must have his reasons. When you calm down, listen to his explanation. Donât cause unhappiness between you father and son.â
âHeâs out of his mind. Does he still recognize me this father?â Father Gu hummed coldly.
After she finished persuading one side, she turned to persuade the other side, âXiao Shen, donât make a decision in a hurry. Think about it carefully ah!â
Gu Xingshen: âMom, Iâve already thought about it very clearly.â
âDid you hear that? Did you hear that! There is no medicine to save him! A good man has unexpectedly been destroyed in the hands of a woman! I⦠How can I face others!â Father Gu said with stirred up emotions.
âAi, you this childâ¦â Mother Gu sighed. âXiao Shen, donât blame your father and I. Although weâre not your biological parents, we have always done things for your own good and havenât hurt you, have we?â
Gu Xingshen clenched his fist slightly. âI understand. Because I respect you, because of your kindness concerning my upbringing, I never go against your decisions, but this timeâ¦â
Mother Gu nodded. âMom knows youâre an obedient child, so there must be a reason this time. Mom also knows a little bit about Xiao Qiaoâs situation. That child is a pitiful person and Mom can see that she isnât a bad person.
However, her identity is a bit awkward, after all. You may encounter a lot of obstacles if you marry her. Not to mention the company, the family, and the public opinion. Does Xiao Qiao agree to be with you?â
As soon as Gu Xingshen heard mother Guâs words, his heart started pumping. She had simply hit the nail on the head.
â¦
Old Gong Villa.
âGrandpa, Iâm leaving.â
Grandpa Gongâs back was turned to her, not looking at her.
Gong Xiaoqiao turned back helplessly when she saw this. âGrandpa, donât be angry!â
Grandpa Gong looked at her angrily. âWho said she would be with Grandpa regardless of what others think? Donât think I donât know that you just donât want anyone to bother Grandpa thatâs why youâre leaving in a hurry. Grandpa is in good health! Itâs not that easy to be angered by those people!â
âGrandpa, what are you talking about! Iâm really not leaving because I care about those people. Iâm just going to work. I told the director that I would return to work today. Everyone is waiting for me, and Iâm not going far. Itâs right here in A City. I promise to come back to see you at least once a week okay?â Xiao Qiao took the hands of the old man as she guaranteed repeatedly.
âThe little swallow has grown up and wants to fly out.â Grandpa Gong said sadly.
âXiao Qiao will always return to the nest, and in front of you, Xiao Qiao will always be a child!â
The only person she wanted to protect the most now was Grandpa.
