Chapter 161: The Matter of the Gong family

Translator: Lonelytree

After hearing Gong Tianhaos suggestion, Old Master Gong sighed.

“Alright, HaoEr, you can arrange it.”

“Grandpa, Taoyuan Village is a very beautiful place…” Gong Tianhao was already ready with his spiel, but he stopped.

“Grandpa, you agreed Youre not going to argue with me” Gong Tianhao was shocked.

Old Master Gong looked at his grandsons surprised face, and he grumbled, “Since you said the place is so beautiful, the people are so nice, and theres an auntie whose cooking skill is better than our chef, so why would I object”

“But Grandpa…” Can you leave the second branch of the family behind But he didnt ask.

Gong Tianhao thought he would need to try his best to persuade his grandfather, but the fact that Old Master Gong yielded so easily flustered him.

Old Master Gong waved his hand and said, “HaoEr, I know what you want to say.

You worry that I cant part with my second brother and his family, right”

Gong Tianhaos mouth fell open.

Looking at his grandsons expression, Old Master Gong knew that he was right.

Then, he said, “HaoEr, youve suffered a lot all these years.” He grabbed Gong Tianhaos hands and patted him a few times.

“Grandpa!” The surprise kept on coming! Gong Tianhao shook his head.

“Grandpa, Ive not suffered.

With you around, no one has the courage to come after me.”

“Thats why I have to stick around longer.” Old Master Gong chuckled.

“I know that youre all grown up and can take care of yourself now.

But I still hope that I can protect you for as long as I can.

As long as Im around, no one will dare bully you!”

Gong Tianhao immediately said, “Of course! Grandpa, youre going to live to be a hundred years old!”

Grandfather Gong shook his head and said, “With this body, I dont even dare to think that far.

However, I promise to take care of myself so that I can stick around as long as I can.”

Gong Tianhaos eyes were slightly red.

Even as a boy, he rarely cried.

However, when he heard his grandfather say hed stick around the best he could for him, he felt a warmth in his heart.

His voice was a little choked as he said with determination, “Grandpa, you will definitely live to be a hundred years old!”

Old Master Gong didnt argue with his grandson because it was rare for Gong Tianhao to act like this around him.

“Okay, I will live to a hundred years old.

But look at you.

How old are you already that youre still crying.

Your eyes are red.” Old Master Gong rarely spoke so much around Gong Tianhao.

“You have always been independent and strong.

You didnt make a fuss when your parents passed away.

For a period after that, you just shrunk into yourself.

You didnt eat or drink and hid in a corner all day.

“Do you know how worried I was At the time, I thought, if something happened to you, what would I do I wouldnt be able to face my son and my daughter-in-law.

Did you know At the time, I carried a gun with me always.

If something happened to my eldest grandson, I would follow you.

I have to be there for you.

No one is allowed to bully my eldest grandson.”

“Grandpa…” Gong Tianhao was really touched.

“But then, one day, the boy suddenly ran over to hug me.

He started to cry.” Old Master Gong reminisced.

“I told him that it was okay to cry.

I didnt want him to hold in all his emotions because it was not healthy.

“From that moment on, I decided that I had to live well for my eldest grandson.

I would be there to watch him grow up, get married, and have children.

When you have your family, I can go and find your grandmother in peace.

I can face your parents.”

“Grandpa…” Gong Tianhao was always a boy in his grandfathers eyes.

“Grandpa, even if I have a family, you shouldnt be in such a hurry to find Grandma.

If that is your reason to leave, then Id rather not get married.”

Old Master Gongs eyes sharpened, and he snapped, “That is not a reason for you not to get married.

You are not going to use me as an excuse not to start a family.

Youre not that young anymore!” Old Master Gong was serious.

When it came to Gong Tianhaos marriage, he was always serious.

Gong Tianhao returned to his usual stubborn self.

He muttered internally,How am I old Im not even 30 yet.

Old Master Gong read his grandsons expression and, consequently, Gong Tianhaos thoughts.

He grabbed his walking stick and smacked Gong Tianhaos back.

“Do you think I dont know what youre thinking If you dont get married, when am I going to have a great-grandchild You really know how to anger me.”

He then grabbed his chest.

His face was red.

Gong Tianhao immediately patted his grandfathers back.

“Grandpa, calm down.

Dont get angry.”

Old Master Gong retorted, “If you dont want me to be angry, then go find a wife and give me a great-grandchild!”

Gong Tianhao would always go along with his grandfathers decision… except for this one.

He didnt want his grandfather to leave him behind simply because he had a family of his own.

Eight years ago, Gong Tianhaos girlfriend dumped him because she wanted to go abroad.

He was upset and got drunk.

That night, he went home drunk and passed by his grandfathers study.

He heard his grandfather talking to his grandmothers portrait in the study.

He didnt pay attention to it at first because his grandfather often talked to his wifes portrait.

However, as he was about to leave, he heard his grandfather say, “Dear, I cant go yet.

However, when HaoEr gets married and has children, Ill go to accompany you, okay”

Gong Tianhao immediately shivered and sobered up.

Only then did he realize his grandfather had been harboring such thoughts.

Gong Tianhao was afraid of losing his grandfather, his only family.

From then on, he decided not to marry and have children.

“I heard you!” Gong Tianhao suddenly said.

Old Master Gong was puzzled and asked, “You heard me What did you hear”

Gong Tianhao said, “When I was 21 years old, I overheard what you said to Grandma in the study.

You said youd go to find Grandma after I get married and have children.”

“Thats why youve been averse to a relationship” Old Master Gong asked.

Gong Tianhao remained silent.

The silence was the best answer.

Old Master Gong was silent too.

Then, he sighed.

“So it is me who has been dragging you down!” He thought his grandson was still nursing the wounds from the breakup eight years ago.

He was still waiting for the girl to come back.

Gong Tianhao immediately said anxiously, “Grandpa, I dont mean it like that.

This is not your fault.

Its me… I dont want to get married and have children.”

Old Master Gong sighed and said, “HaoEr, youre almost 30 years old.

Youre getting older.”

“…” Gong Tianhao said, “Grandpa, no matter how old I am, I am always your grandchild.

A grandchild is still a child!”

“I suppose youre right.” Old Master Gong laughed lightly.

“Youll always be a boy in my eyes.”

“See, you agree with me.” Gong Tianhao was quite thick-faced around his grandfather.

“Haha…” Old Master suddenly laughed.

“Alright.

If you dont want to get married, then so be it.

As long as Im around, someone will always treat you as a child, even when youre a 50-year-old child.” When Gong Tianhao was 50, hed be 100 already.

Gong Tianhao smiled.

“But, HaoEr.” Old Master Gong said earnestly, “Promise Grandpa that if you meet a good girl, you will not let her slip away.

Grandpa promises you that I will live until I can see my great-grandson running around.

Then, Ill go and meet your grandmother.”

Old Master Gong knew his grandsons stubbornness very well.

If he didnt urge Gong Tianhao slightly, he would keep on being single.

Gong Tianhao nodded.

“Okay, Grandpa.”

Then, the two of them changed the topic.

Old Master Gong said, “HaoEr, you asked me to leave the capital and go to Taoyuan Village.

One of the reasons is you want me to stay away from your second grandfathers family, right”

Gong Tianhao didnt deny it and said, “Thats right.” At this point, he paused for a moment and added, “They keep coming to disturb you, and its not good for your health.”

Old Master Gong smiled, “Is it that, or you dont want me to help them anymore”

“That is also another reason.” Gong Tianhao said, “They know that your health is not perfect, but they keep on coming to bother you.

They ignored your health and begged you to help them with the smallest things.

They keep annoying you and want to use their familys daughter to tie me down through marriage.

How disgusting!” Gong Tianhao didnt hide his disgust for the second branch.

“This is my fault for indulging them for too long.” He sighed.

“Grandpa, its not your fault.” Gong Tianhao shook his head and said, “Its second grandfathers family who is too greedy and ambitious.

They dont know how to be satisfied.”

He paused for a moment and said, “Grandfather, I know you have to give them leeway in the past for my sake.

You were afraid that if you didnt give them something, they will harm me.

Even if you had given an explicit warning, they would still come after me.

To appease them, you gave them what they wanted, power and money.

They managed to establish a firm foundation in the capital in just a few years.

They are still growing strong.

“But Grandpa, certain people will never be satisfied.

The more you give them, the more they want.

Even if you surrender to them the whole Gong Family, they will go so far to eliminate you and me to make their power concrete.”

Old Master Gong said, “I know about their ambitions and greed.

But I worry.

After Im gone, theyre your only blood-related family left.”

“Id rather not have people who constantly want to harm me as my blood family.

They dont treat me as one, so why should I” Gong Tianhaos tone was very cold.

Then, his tone became gentle as he said, “And Grandpa, you are not going anywhere.”

Old Master Gong thought for a moment and said with a sigh, “Well, HaoEr is all grown up.

Ill leave this for you to handle.” Old Master Gong couldnt care about the second branch forever.

“But, HaoEr, you have to promise me that youd put your safety first, okay” Old Master Gong was worried.

“Over the years, Ive given them too much power.

Its not going to be easy to make them budge.

Im afraid that once you do something, theyd become desperate and harm you.”

Gong Tianhao nodded.

“Grandpa, dont worry.

Ill be fine.

Plus, you were the one who gave them all this power and money.

I am merely taking them back for you.

Without the Gong Familys support, what can they do Grandpa, we have been too kind to them.

Thats why they are so shameless now.”

Old Master Gong admitted, “HaoEr, youre right.

Okay, I will move to Taoyuan Village.

I wish to see the beautiful scenery and taste the cooking of that auntie you mentioned.

I quite look forward to it.”

Gong Tianhao let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “Grandpa, you wont be disappointed.

You will be able to rest well.

And I will visit you as long as I have time.”

“Then, HaoEr, you have to be careful in the capital by yourself, understand”

“Yes, I understand, Grandpa!” Gong Tianhao replied.
