100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 141: You Look Good When You Smile
Chapter 141: Chapter 141: You Look Good When You Smile
"But... Grandpa, aren’t you going to ask about what happened at the wedding?" Gong Xiaoqiao stammered.
Grandpa Gong waved his hand, "Since you didn’t go with him because you still love him and can’t let go, how could Grandpa not guess what you’re thinking?"
Gong Xiaoqiao hung her head, "Grandpa, I’m sorry, I must have caused trouble for you again!"
Grandpa Gong chuckled heartily, "Haha, Grandpa is old and doesn’t meddle in the affairs of you young people. Even if they were to blame someone, they wouldn’t come after me. You, my dear, haven’t caused me any trouble!"
The implication behind Grandpa Gong’s words was clear, and Gong Xiaoqiao pressed her lips together, saying nothing.
"What’s the matter? Did that Gu Family kid give you a hard time? Let Grandpa go teach him a lesson! Even though he’s your elder, Grandpa is still his elder! If Grandpa hits him, he surely wouldn’t dare to fight back!" Grandpa Gong declared confidently.
Gong Xiaoqiao burst out laughing, what kind of grandfather competes to fight others to stand up for his granddaughter.
Grandpa Gong was pleased, "My girl looks so much better when she smiles!"
"Ah, you stubborn girl, why won’t you accept help from the Gong family? Grandpa doesn’t even know what he can do for you."
Gong Xiaoqiao shook her head, "Grandpa has already done so much for me! It’s me who is too ignorant and undutiful! Why don’t I care about the people I love most, but instead worry about the words of those who don’t matter?"
Gong Xiaoqiao tapped her forehead, "Grandpa, I’m so silly! Such a simple truth, and yet I didn’t realize it! Grandpa, I will definitely come back to see you more often and I won’t care about what those people say anymore!"
Grandpa Gong’s eyes were somewhat moist, "Good! Good! As long as you’ve understood, just come back, and Grandpa will protect you! We are not afraid of anyone!"
"Yes, Grandpa, I will work hard. I want everyone to say when they mention me, ’That’s Qiao Shiyi,’ instead of ’Oh, she’s that illegitimate daughter from the Gong family who was hidden away.’ I want to use my own efforts to step out of the shadows that the Gong family has cast over me!"
"Yes, that’s the spirit! Grandpa supports you!"
Gong Xiaoqiao hugged Grandpa Gong’s neck, moved, "Grandpa, Xiaoqiao loves you so much! You’re my favorite, Grandpa! Sometimes I really hate that my mom left me alone at the Gong house, but if it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have met such a wonderful grandpa!"
"You sweet-talker, you always know what to say to make me happy!" Grandpa Gong laughed heartily, charmed by her words. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Mrs. Lin, watching the tender scene in the living room, couldn’t help but wipe away a tear.
She had watched Xiaoqiao grow up from a child and knew how much she had suffered and endured, especially after Young Master Gu left and the young lady went abroad, not forgetting to incite the Gong family’s relatives to make things difficult and bully her.
In school, the young girl often came home with injuries, secretly concealing them and not daring to let Grandpa find out, afraid of worrying him.
Even when caught red-handed, she would lie that she fell, her consideration heartbreaking.
At first, the young girl missed her Shenge every day, eagerly awaiting his return during the holidays.
Until one day, when Miss Gong Hannian suddenly returned to the country on business, she stopped by before she left and summoned Xiaoqiao, saying something to her.
From that time on, Xiaoqiao became silent and rarely spoke, and she wouldn’t wait blankly at home for Shenge’s phone call like before.
Mrs. Lin worriedly asked Xiaoqiao what had happened, but the young girl just shook her head, unwilling to say anything each time.
