Chapter 698: Face-smacking

As soon as Xiao Letong finished speaking, the scene became terrifyingly quiet.

Very quickly, what followed was a wave of embarrassment. It was already bad to say bad things behind someone’s back. But to say them right before them? It was a real shameful moment.

Someone awkwardly coughed to ease their embarrassment.

When Weng Jingjing heard that the old man behind Xiao Letong was Gong Tianhao’s grandfather, her mind went blank.

Weng Jingjing had never seen Old Master Gong before, so she didn’t know. She was too focused on Xiao Letong to notice the old man. She was told to find Old Master Gong and gain favor with him. It would make things much easier. Old Master Gong was close to the Xiao Family, so her job was to get close to him and sow discord.

Unexpectedly, she had already unknowingly offended him. As a result, the atmosphere was awkward and stiff. She said some horrible things about him and was caught red-handed. What should she do now? For a moment, Weng Jingjing couldn’t think of any countermeasures.

At that moment, the child continued. The child’s crisp voice seemed to have turned into a demonic sound, piercing and eye-catching.

Xiao Letong laughed and said, “And let me introduce myself. My surname is Gong too. This is my great-grandfather.”

Xiao Letong’s words once again silenced the scene!

The crowd was caught badmouthing the child who was standing before them!

“Auntie, look at me. I’m already so old. Even if there was a misunderstanding that led to your separation, it would have happened a long time ago, wouldn’t you agree?” Xiao Letong said very seriously, “You said that you two were in love when you were in university. My father was 18 when he graduated from university. But this year, he’s already 31.

“Come to think of it. The misunderstanding was more than a decade ago. Auntie, you didn’t send any news for the past decade. Do you want him to wait for you for ten years?”

Xiao Letong deliberately emphasized his last sentence.

When the surrounding tourists heard this, their expressions immediately became strange. ‘So the separation happened that long ago? It has been more than ten years?! So many things can happen in ten years.

‘Even if there was a misunderstanding back then, the woman had plenty of time to explain it. So why would she wait for him to get married and have children before coming back to explain the misunderstanding?

‘Plus, in the story, she said that it was the man’s grandfather who forced their separation. However, the grandfather was standing there, and she couldn’t even recognize him. Clearly, her story isn’t that believable.’

“If you really love this man, and there is a misunderstanding behind your separation, hasn’t the past ten years been enough for you to explain it?” Xiao Letong’s words were sharp, “There was no news of you, but now you decided to appear when he’s married. It is very suspicious. I suspect that you are here to destroy our family!”

Weng Jingjing knew that Xiao Lingyu’s son, Xiao Letong, was different from other children. This child’s intelligence was close to that of a demon, and he was sharp-tongued.

However, she did not expect this child to be so smart and sharp-tongued. Every word he said was logical and overbearing.

Weng Jingjing opened her mouth, not knowing how to refute.

However, she didn’t even need to because her face was the biggest weapon. She didn’t need to do anything, and people would stand up for her.

“Hey, I don’t agree with what you said,” a man with a pointy mouth and a face full of pimples said indignantly, “Many things can happen in more than ten years, but it’s obvious that the reason why they broke up was that the man didn’t trust her.

“As long as he trusted this girl a little, there wouldn’t be any misunderstandings between them, right? He was just looking for an excuse to put himself on the moral high ground. He clearly cheated on her. I feel bad for this woman.”

“That’s true. This happened because he didn’t trust her. Perhaps this man ordered his grandfather to have him separate them!”

“Yes, this is really possible. When he went to work at university, it was just for fun. For a rich young master, pursuing a beautiful woman might give him a sense of accomplishment.”

All of the men meant that Gong Tianhao was a scumbag.

When Old Master Gong heard these people’s comments about his grandson, he couldn’t contain his anger. He leaned on his walking stick and hit the ground heavily. The sound was loud, and it immediately pulled everyone’s attention back.

Old Master Gong’s face was livid as he asked angrily, “Are you all just going to listen to this woman and judge others based on what she said?” His question was naturally directed at the surrounding crowd. These people were tourists, so they had no right to butt into his family business.

Then, Old Master Gong didn’t wait for them to react. He took two steps forward. With his experienced and astute eyes, his sharp gaze landed on Weng Jingjing’s face.

He asked sharply, “You said that you left him because you wanted him to focus on the competition of the family heir. Then, let me ask you. How many people were competing for the family heir position?” The Gong Family only had Gong Tianhao and Old Master Gong, so what competition was there?

Weng Jingjing responded subconsciously, “One!” As soon as she said this, she immediately covered her mouth and wanted to stuff these words back into her stomach.

Weng Jingjing might not know about the heir competition situation within the Gong Family, but she did.

“What? Only one!”

Everyone present was shocked to hear this answer.

“If that’s the case, then there’s no such thing as competition!”

“Then... is this woman lying and making things up?”

“I think it must be!” Someone immediately nodded.

The unanimous voice of doubt made Weng Jingjing’s face turn pale and green, looking very ugly.

At this moment, Old Master Gong said again, “That’s right. The Gong family indeed only has one heir. Since there is only one heir, there is no competition. This woman is lying and making up a story.

“In fact, her whole story is a lie.” Old Master Gong said loudly with conviction, “That’s right. Back then, this lady was in a relationship with my grandson when they were in university. At that time, my grandson was indeed a poor boy, but he was very handsome. He fell in love with the school belle.

“After all, they were young. I didn’t stop them. On the contrary, when I saw my grandson in love, I was very supportive of it.

“However, I wasn’t happy for long. The reason was that this woman was too vain and hypocritical. On one hand, she was dating my grandson because of his looks, but on the other hand, she was dating a wealthy businessman.”

“Ah, a wealthy businessman?”

Someone butted in because they thought they misheard him.

“Yes. She was cheating on my grandson with a wealthy businessman!” Old Master Gong was furious when he thought about it.

“It was just that she hid it so well that no one in school noticed that she had secretly become the mistress of a wealthy businessman.

“When she was dating my grandson, she kept asking him for money. Back then, my grandson didn’t have any family support because he wanted to train himself. He tried to prove that he could live well without his family’s fortune.

“In order to buy her expensive jewelry, designer handbags, and be responsible for all of her living expenses, my grandson was very ambitious at the time and worked part-time.”

When Old Master Gong said this, his heart ached endlessly,

“If she were loyal to my grandson, it would have been fine. But she was a complete liar. On the one hand, she enjoyed my grandson’s offering, and on the other hand, she sucked up the rich man.

“On her birthday, my grandson saved up three months’ salary and bought her a branded handbag. When he excitedly wanted to give it to her, he saw her get into a luxury car.”

The crowd was shocked by this story. It was another plot from an idol drama. This was between the male protagonist and his ex-girlfriend.

“When my grandson went up to question her, she lied at first and said that the man was her cousin. This cousin knew that it was her birthday, so he threw her a birthday party.

“She didn’t tell him because she didn’t want him to misunderstand. However, the rich man mocked my grandson directly.

“At that time, my stupid grandson really thought that the man was her cousin. He endured all the ridicule and insults. Then, he foolishly continued to treat the woman well.

“Then, the rich man came in person and revealed the truth to my grandson. He was not her cousin but her sugar daddy. She was with him because he was rich and could give her a high-class life. At the same time, he also promised to send her to study abroad.

“He didn’t expect my grandson to be so stupid and naive to believe that their relationship was pure. He also told my grandson that the woman would go abroad to study in three days. My grandson would be dumped.

“When my grandson heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue.

“He found her to confront her. She mocked and ridiculed him. She only got together with him because he was handsome. But what she was after was really a long-term meal ticket. She kept him around because it would make her look good.

“In everyone’s eyes, it looked like she had sacrificed herself for love. But as university was coming to an end, she didn’t have to act anymore. She was about to fly overseas. So she broke up with him.

“But, that was not all she did. This vicious woman. For her own reputation, she set up my grandson when he was completely defenseless.

“She found a woman to get close to my grandson, took photos, and announced on the school forum that my grandson had cheated on her. In an instant, the whole university turned on my grandson.

“After my grandson reacted, he immediately sent people to investigate the truth.

“Before the investigation was over, the woman had already gone abroad. After my grandson found out the truth, he didn’t tell anyone either.

“To him, the truth was too devastating. He thought it was a pure relationship, but it turned out to be total exploitation, and in the end, it almost ruined his reputation.

“He was depressed for months, completely drunk. It was a dark time for me. I thought that my grandson would never recover from the blow.” Speaking up to this point, Old Master Gong’s tone became very sad.

When the surrounding crowd heard this, they immediately fell silent. Even the men who were shouting loudly to seek justice for Weng Jingjing were silent.

If this story was true, then the woman in this story was really a jerk. She could be described as a snake with a scorpion’s heart. She was out to ruin men’s lives.

Compared to the woman’s story, the crowd was more inclined to believe Old Master Gong. His story sounded more authentic.

Old Master Gong questioned Weng Jingjing sternly, “Weng Jingjing, tell me. Where is the misunderstanding in your separation with my grandson that you have to come back more than a decade later to explain the misunderstanding to me in person?

“And before you even did that, you have already gone around to destroy my grandson’s reputation. Let me tell you. I will not allow you to harm my grandson the second time.”

Weng Jingjing heard Old Master Gong’s stern and fierce voice and her face turned a little paler. She complained in her heart. ‘I am really unlucky. What should I do now? Am I going to fail the mission again? But that person said that if I fail again...’

Weng Jingjing was so scared that her whole body trembled.
