Chapter 252 – Gong Tianhao’s Warning
Translator: Lonelytree
When they returned to the Gong family, the others left Old Master Gong and Old Master Yan in the living room so that they could catch up. The others went to do their own things.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, Old Master Yan asked anxiously, “Old Chief, why did you support Tianhao to pursue Xiao Lingyu? You know about Xiao Lingyu’s condition. She is pregnant with the child of an unknown person. If Xiao Lingyu were to marry into the Gong family, wouldn’t that be a joke to the people of the capital?”
Old Master Gong’s face darkened as he said coldly, “A joke? I want to see who dares to laugh at the Gong Family. Since my grandson likes Xiao Lingyu, then we will naturally treat the child in Xiao Lingyu’s belly as the Gong Family’s descendant.” At this point, Old Master Gong glanced at him and said indifferently, “Yan Zheng, don’t bring up this again in the future. I don’t like to hear it.”
The child of an unknown person was a polite way of calling the child a bastard.
‘How can the child of the Gong family be called a bastard? When my brat wins over Lingyu in the future, you all will know the truth.’
Yan Zheng naturally had no way of knowing what Old Master Gong was thinking.
However, he was aware of Old Master Gong’s warning.
He didn’t understand why Old Master Gong supported his grandson’s pursuit of a woman who was pregnant.
Regardless, he opposed the fact that his own grandson wanted to pursue Xiao Lingyu.
Old Master Yan sighed and said, “Old Chief, since you’ve made such a decision, I won’t talk about this matter anymore.”
Then, the two of them began to reminisce about the past. What had happened since they left the military and so on…
Outside, Gong Tianhao was sitting at a stone table under a big tree in the courtyard. A cup of tea was placed in front of him.
Gong Tianhao took a sip and frowned slightly.
This tea was obviously brewed with the best tea leaves, but its fragrance was far inferior to that of the Xiao Family.
After Yan Siming arrived at the Gong Residence, he looked around before sitting down directly opposite Gong Tianhao.
As for Yan Ruyu, she couldn’t stand the oppressive atmosphere these men gave her and quickly escaped.
Under the big tree in the courtyard of the Gong family, there were two young men. One was handsome and fierce, and the other was elegant and charming. The other was wearing a black suit with a gray shirt and a blue-gray tie. The other was wearing a red suit and a red tie with a white shirt. The two of them looked beautiful as a painting.
Yan Siming played with the teacup in his hand. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he revealed a wicked smile as he said, “I say, Gong Tianhao, you’re the young master of the capital city. You can have any woman you want, so why are you interested in Xiao Lingyu?”
Gong Tianhao’s sharp eyes shot over as he said indifferently, “Yan Siming, you’re the young master of the City Z. You can have any woman you want, so why are you interested in Xiao Lingyu?”
Yan Siming, “…” Can’t we have a good conversation?
Every time he asked a question, Gong Tianhao would throw one back.
Yan Siming sighed and said, “Indeed, why would someone of my status like Xiao Lingyu? What do you think?”
Gong Tianhao ignored him.
Yan Siming said again, “Gong Tianhao, can you tell me what you like about Xiao Lingyu?”
‘Then, I can tell Lingyu to change those qualities.’ Of course, he won’t tell Gong Tianhao.
Gong Tianhao was a smart man. How could he not see through Yan Siming’s plan?
He said calmly, “I like everything about her.”
Yan Siming, “…”
Yan Siming said unwillingly, “Gong Tianhao, do you really want to pursue Xiao Lingyu? With your status, do you really don’t mind the child in Xiao Lingyu’s stomach?”
Gong Tianhao lifted his eyelids slightly and looked at Yan Siming with a hint of disdain.
He said, “Since I’ve already decided to pursue her, of course, I don’t mind.” She was pregnant with his child, so why would he mind?
Gong Tianhao then asked indifferently, “Why? Does Young Master Yan mind it that much even though he has already made that grand confession?”
He knew he shouldn’t have asked him that question. It all bounced back to him.
Yan Siming chuckled and said, “Of course, I don’t mind.”
When Gong Tianhao heard that, his lips curled into a half-smile. His eyes were filled with sarcasm and mockery, but his words were filled with pride. “Yes, you don’t mind. But I wonder if Old Master Yan minds or not. My grandfather doesn’t mind. He has shown full support to me.
“In fact, he said if I fail to marry Xiao Lingyu, I should stop calling him my grandfather. He would kick me out of the Gong Family!” His words were very serious.
The smile on Yan Siming’s face gradually faded. He furrowed his brows, and his expression became serious.
‘Did Old Master Gong like Xiao Lingyu that much? So much so that he’d prefer her over his own grandson?’
He had a vague feeling that something was wrong. However, he couldn’t figure out what it was. But he left it on the backburner.
His current problem was how to deal with such a powerful love rival.
Gong Tianhao pursued Xiao Lingyu with the support of Old Master Gong. This meant that he could use all the influence of the Gong Family to pursue Xiao Lingyu even though Yan Siming didn’t think Xiao Lingyu would be moved by status and power.
But this would show their sincerity. Eventually, Xiao Lingyu might be moved and fall into this man’s arms.
On the other hand, Yan Siming had a few free months to pursue Xiao Lingyu. However, he resisted his desire and hoped that Xiao Lingyu would become his lover instead.
However, before he could get a lover, he made a love rival.
His love rival was so powerful that he started to panic.
Competition is always a great motivator.
Now, he wanted Xiao Lingyu to be his wife. However, on this path, there were two huge blockages. One was Gong Tianhao, and the other was his grandfather.
So many people became his obstacles. His grandfather’s silence meant great disapproval. His disapproval meant the Yan Family’s disapproval too.
However, it did not matter.
As long as he defeated this love rival, everything else could be settled in the future.
Yan Siming smiled faintly and said, “Young Master Gong, you don’t have to worry about that.”
However, Gong Tianhao sneered and said, “Worry? Young Master Yan, of course, I won’t worry about you. But I’m worried about the people around you!” At this point, his expression froze, and he warned, “Young Master Yan, I hope you know what you’re doing. And you have a clear handle on the Yan Family.”
As soon as Gong Tianhao said this, Yan Siming’s calm expression froze.
Then, he said, “You don’t have to worry about that, Young Master Gong!”
As he said this, he retracted his finger on his thigh. The Yan Family was a big family in City Z. They looked harmonious on the surface, but…
…
Zhang Xiaolan, Zhang Chunjiao, and Liu Changnu gathered together.
“Chunjiao, don’t be angry. Those two men are just bewitched by that bitch, Xiao Lingyu.”
Zhang Xiaolan said, “That bitch must have cast some spell on the men so that they don’t even mind she is carrying a bastard child.”
“That’s right!” Liu Changmei said disdainfully. “She looks like a vixen, and she is very cunning. The village men drool whenever they see her.”
“Hmph, that’s because she has the Little Cattle King,” Zhang Xiaolan said disdainfully and jealously, “If I have the Little Cattle King, I would grow so many strawberries and make a fortune too. We’ll see who dares to look down on us again! Men will fall heads over heels for us too!”
Speaking of the strawberries, Zhang Chunjiao rolled her eyes and asked, “Xiao Lan, Changnu, what if we destroy her strawberries?”
“Ah?!” The other two were shocked!
