Chapter 666: Landlord and Landlady
"Great-grandfather, my mommy is now a landlady. "Xiao Letong pointed at a large green vegetable patch and covered his mouth as he laughed.
Old Master Gong asked with a smile, "Oh, Tong Tong actually knows what a landlady is?"
Xiao Letong nodded his head and said, "Of course I do. It's on television every day. However, my mother often says that she's not a landlady. She's just lucky."
"Haha..."Old Master Gong was amused by his grandson.
"Great-grandfather, why are you laughing?" Xiao Letong asked in confusion, "Did I say something wrong?"
Old Master Gong patted Xiao Letong's little head and said with a smile, "Tong Tong didn't say anything wrong. Everything you say is right. Your mommy is a landlady and also a little rich. Then, it means that our Tong Tong is a little landlord too!"
Xiao Letong nodded happily and said, "Yes, I'm Mommy's son after all!"
Old Master Gong, "..." His little great-grandson was really smart.
Xiao Letong held Old Master Gong's hand and said, "Great-grandfather, let's go a little further inside. It's really pretty there!"
Old Master Gong immediately asked with great interest, "Oh, how pretty is it?"
Xiao Letong tilted his little head and thought for a moment before saying, "I don't know how to explain, but my mommy says it's very artful."
"If that's what your mother said, then I really want to go and take a look!" Old Master Gong said.
"Then great-grandfather, let's go!" Xiao Letong happily held his great-grandfather's hand as they walked on the ridge.
Not long after, Xiao Letong brought them to another vegetable patch.
Xiao Letong said, "Great-grandfather, this is the place. Look, isn't this place very beautiful?"
Even the experienced Old Master Gong was severely shocked by this vegetable patch. "Yes, it's really beautiful!"
The purple eggplants and red tomatoes were planted in the shape of a Taiji eight trigrams. Of course, there were other natural installations like the four divine beasts, twelve zodiac signs, and so on.
Old Master Gong couldn't help but exclaim in joy, "This is really an artform! How did they even think about doing something like this?"
Many people around were taking pictures.
When they wanted to go down the field to take pictures with these vegetables, they would be stopped by the staff.
After all, the vegetables were still part of the harvest. If the tourists got too close, they might accidentally damage the crops.
Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang, who were beside grandfather Gong, were also very surprised by the living art.
Xiao Letong added, "Great-grandfather, there is also a sea of flowers. There are many insect sculptures there. Let's go take a look."
Old Master Gong smiled and nodded. "Alright!"
In the past, Taoyuan Village was beautiful, but the scenery was rather monotonous. But his granddaughter-in-law had made the place very lively.
Old Master Gong was quite aged already. There were a lot of people and the farming ridge was muddy and slippery. If one was not careful, they might slip and fall.
Thankfully, Xiao Lingyu had considered this issue as well. She had widened the ridge into a small road that could allow two people to walk side by side. Plus, there was nothing that was planted along the ridge. This was to prevent people from getting injured just in case they fell.
As for why she didn't widen the road bigger... it was because no matter how wide the road was, it wouldn't stop the narrowness of people's hearts.
There were many tourists who came here to watch and take photos.
When they saw Old Master Gong and Xiao Letong, they naturally gave way to them. Of course, the discerning tourists also noticed the two tall and imposing bodyguards following behind them and knew that they were not simple characters. The tourists knew who not to offend.
However, Xiao Letong, who had the combination of Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu's good looks, was too cute and beautiful. Many tourists wanted to take photos with him.
Then, Xiao Letong immediately said with a smile, "Brothers and sisters, I know I'm very cute. Of course, I'll be happy if you take photos of me. However, can I ask you not to expose me on the internet? My Mommy said that a beautiful, cute, and smart child like me is the easiest to be targeted by bad people."
"Haha, you're so cute!" Many people said with a smile, "Okay, we won't post it!" With the internet, many things couldn't be kept a secret anymore. What the child said did make sense.
"Ah, this child is so cute and smart!" Someone said in surprise. "He doesn't look that old. How can he speak so fluently?"
"Little friend, can you tell sister how old you are now?"
Xiao Letong raised his head and replied very seriously, "Little sister, I'm two and a half years old now."
"Ha, two and a half years old?Are you sure you're not three or four years old?" This little sister asked in slight surprise.
Xiao Letong's small face immediately turned serious as he said this, "Little sister, I'm only two and a half years old. My grandmother said that I eat well, so naturally, I'm taller than other children of the same age!" But the real reason was that he had been cultivating.
"I do not doubt your age. It's just that you're so good with your words, and you don't look like a two-year-old child at all."
"That's also because I've been smart since I was young. I can learn anything quickly," Xiao Letong said without any modesty. The current Xiao Letong didn't know what modesty was at all.
"Is that so?" The Little Miss and the people around her were obviously a little suspicious.
Old Master Gong saw the disbelief in their eyes and was immediately unhappy.
His precious grandson was telling the truth, so how could anyone doubt him?
Old Master Gong also started to show off. "My great-grandson is indeed extremely intelligent. Despite his young age, he can already read and write."
At this moment, Xiao Letong interjected, "Great-grandfather, not only that, I can already memorize the entire dictionary before I was one and a half years old!"
"Huh?" Most people obviously did not believe it. That was too hard to believe. How many words were there in a dictionary to memorize? That was something most adults couldn't do, much less a one-year-old child.
At this moment, someone suddenly flipped through his phone and exclaimed, "Oh, I remember now. A friend of mine came here before and said that there was a child prodigy in the village. That child prodigy can indeed memorize the entire dictionary."
"No way? Is this true?"
"It's true!" That person said, "At first, my friend didn't believe it either. Later, in order to verify whether it was true or not, my friend went to the bookstore to buy a dictionary. In front of many people, he tested that child prodigy. In the end, the child prodigy got everything correct."
"Okay, now I have the impulse to rush to the bookstore to buy a dictionary."
Xiao Letong said proudly with his head held high and chest puffed out, "Then go and buy it. I definitely won't let you down. Oh, you don't have to go to the bookstore outside. You can directly go to the youth guide information desk. You can either rent or buy a dictionary there."
Of course, it was impossible to borrow one for free. Once the visitors were inside the Taoyuan Village, it was like Disneyland, and you had to pay for everything.
There was a long-standing legend of a child prodigy in Taoyuan village.
Many people didn't believe it. In order to prove it, many people went to the bookstore to buy dictionaries.
Dictionaries were thick and expensive. After the visitors bought them, they left them in the village. Gradually, the dictionaries started to pile up.
Xiao Letong had an idea. He wanted to use these dictionaries to earn some pocket money for himself. He gathered all the dictionaries at the youth guide center.
Although his family was very rich, they were not his money. He was still young, so his family only gave him a few RMB for pocket money.
But once he could earn his own money, he could buy anything he wanted.
Once the visitors heard that there were dictionaries for rent at the youth guide center, someone rushed over to rent one.
Chapter 667: Really Amazing
"Wow, this is really amazing!"
In order to verify whether the little prodigy of Taoyuan Village was just an empty title or not, some tourists went to the youth guide desk to rent a book.
Renting a book was neither expensive nor cheap. It was 5 RMB, and they could rent the dictionary for as long as they wanted. The 5 RMB would go directly to Xiao Letong.
The visitors held the dictionary and named a list of words for Xiao Letong. Then, they wanted him to continue the rest of the list according to the dictionary.
However...
Xiao Letong said, "Little brother, you don't have to list out the words for me. You only need to tell me which page you want me to recite. Or you can ask for a specific word on a specific page."
Everyone, "..." Isn't this challenge a bit too big?
The little brother casually flipped through the dictionary and said, "Page 108..."
Xiao Letong immediately began to recite it.
The surrounding people were so shocked that their mouths were wide open. They were really shocked.
"Page 332, paragraph 3!"
"Page 668, starting from the second paragraph and the fifth word..."
Then, Xiao Letong easily passed all of the tests.
Everyone, "..." What else could they say?
At first, there was only one dictionary. Many people surrounded the little brother. However, they couldn't see the content of the dictionary. If they couldn't do that, they had no idea how exciting things were. Therefore, they decided to rent the dictionaries themselves.
In an instant, the 20 dictionaries on the youth guide desk were rented out.
Xiao Letong suddenly received over 100 RMB. He was getting more and more pocket money!
"Damn. I'm the one holding the dictionary, but he's more familiar with the content than I am."
The visitors tried to test Xiao Letong by having him recite the words backward, but he passed that test easily too. Xiao Letong recited the dictionary from the last word to the first word. He passed the high difficulty challenge with ease.
When Xiao Letong was reciting the dictionary, Old Master Gong was shocked too. Then, he was filled with pride.
His Brat was smart. However, compared to his great-grandson's intelligence, his Brat was as dumb as a rock.
In short, ever since he had his great-grandson, Gong Tianhao was being sidelined and became fully unimportant. If Gong Tianhao knew about this, he would probably shake his head.
Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang were so shocked that their mouths were wide open. One could fit a duck egg into their mouths.
Little Young Master was really too amazing! This was a whole dictionary.
Their little young master was able to memorize the whole book, and he could recite it at will.
"He's really a child prodigy. In the past, I didn't believe that a one-year-old child could memorize an entire dictionary, but now I've seen it with my own eyes."
"Indeed. He's a real child prodigy!"
"That's really amazing. He can even memorize an entire dictionary. No wonder he can speak so fluently at his age."
"Haha. I can't even read through a whole dictionary, much less memorize it..."
Someone asked curiously, "Little friend, how did you become so good at memorizing such a thick book?"
Xiao Letong said proudly with his head held high, "I told you I'm very smart. I have a photographic memory. As long as I read the book once, I can recite it fluently! I only spent a day memorizing this dictionary."
"Only one day?!" It was too shocking.
"Yes. I could have moved faster, but my hands were too small, and the book was too thick. It took me a whole day to slowly flip through the pages."
Everyone, "..."
Oh my God! They thought the child prodigy needed a day to memorize the dictionary but actually, most of the time was spent flipping through the pages. This was too shocking.
Of course, some people didn't quite believe it.
After all, no matter how talented Xiao Letong was, he was still so young. Perhaps he had been memorizing the dictionary page by page slowly.
Therefore, some of them wanted to test Xiao Letong further.
Someone took out a book from his bag and asked with a smile, "Little friend, you said you know how to read, right?"
"Yes, Miss!" Xiao Letong was a smart person. When he saw her take out a book from her bag, he knew that she wanted to test his reading skill.
The young miss smiled and said, "Well, I have a book here. See if you can memorize it after reading it once. Let us all see how powerful you are." After saying that, she handed the book to Xiao Letong.
Xiao Letong casually flipped through the book, and his small face wrinkled into a small bun.
When everyone saw his expression, they thought that he was actually lying and he couldn't really read. They suddenly felt a little disappointed.
Xiao Letong looked at young miss with a puzzled expression and said, "Little Sister, this is a romance novel. There are some adult scenes here. Are you sure you want me to recite them?"
The expression of the people around Xiao Letong changed. Old Master Gong's face turned ugly.
He immediately took the book from the child's hands and flipped through it. Then, he looked sharply at the little girl and said in a weathered voice, "Little girl, I have no objections if you want to test my grandson's abilities. But you can't show my grandson a book that is inappropriate for a child his age! Are you trying to corrupt him?"
The little girl's face turned red from being reprimanded by Old Master Gong. She lowered her head in embarrassment and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. I wasn't paying attention when I took out the book!"
For people like them who were traveling, many of them would take books with them to pass the time in the car.
Earlier, she was too shocked by Xiao Letong's photographic memory. She remembered that there was a book in her bag, so she took it out directly.
She did not consider that the other party was only a two or three-year-old child. Her book was not suitable for him at all.
The crowd looked at the girl strangely. When they heard Old Master Gong, their expressions changed again. The girl could be brought to the police station for what she had done. Whether it was intentional or not, this made them uncomfortable.
When Old Master Gong saw the little girl's flushed face, he knew that she didn't do it on purpose. As an elder, he didn't want to dwell on this point.
Old Master Gong asked, "Tong Tong, did you read the whole book?"
Xiao Letong immediately shook his head and said, "No. I only read the first few chapters. I realized there was something wrong, so I quickly stopped."
Actually, to him, there was no difference whether he read it or not.
He was a cultivator who had lived for thousands of years. Would he not know about the things described in the book? This was simply impossible.
Old Master Gong relaxed when he heard that.
The girl opposite him apologized in shame, "I'm sorry, Little Friend. I... I didn't mean it. I really forgot that you're a child and you're not suitable to read these books."
Xiao Letong nodded obediently and said, "Little Miss, it's alright. I know you didn't mean it." If she did it on purpose, he would definitely seek reparation.
Then, Xiao Letong looked around and asked, "Are there any other books that I can read?"
Then, a young man took out a book from his bag and said, "I have one here. This is a fantasy novel."
Everyone, "..." At least it was better than romance novels.
Then, they were given a chance to witness how a child prodigy memorizes a book. Xiao Letong casually flipped through the book and returned the book to the young man.
Then, he began to recite it. Of course, Xiao Letong only picked specific chapters to recite. If he had to recite the whole novel, his throat would go dry first. The book had more than a million words.
Chapter 668: Explanation!
Xiao Letong flipped through the fantasy novel in front of all the tourists. Then, it was time to witness a miracle.
The child prodigy of Taoyuan Village only used five minutes to flip through the back.
The tourists were eager to test out the child prodigy. They picked specific pages for him to recite. Xiao Letong recited everything without missing a single word!
He showed them again why he was a child prodigy.
"I've been studying for decades, but it feels like it's all for nothing. I'm not even as good as a two-or three-year-old child."
"Genius, this is simply a monstrous genius. How are we supposed to live with this?"
"How can a child be so smart?"
"He has a photographic memory. I also want to have a photographic memory. With this ability, I won't be urged by teachers to memorize books in the future."
After Xiao Letong finished his performance, he turned to the visitors and smiled, "Grandparents, uncles, aunts, Little Brothers and Sisters, today's performance ends here. I still have to accompany my great-grandfather to take a look around! Excuse me!"
"Ah, so cute! I really want to carry him home!"
"So cute! So cute!"
...
Old Master Gong was led away by his great-grandson, and his smile never stopped.
He smiled and said, "Our Tong Tong is really a genius. He's even cleverer than his father."
Tong Tong immediately smiled and said, "Great-grandfather, then I probably inherited my intelligence from my mommy!"
"Haha..." Old Master Gong laughed happily again. "That's right!" Then, Old Master Gong continued, "Speaking of your father, he was also extremely smart and sensible when he was young.
"Because he lost his parents when he was young, he became cold and taciturn. He was cold to everyone and kept people at arm's length.
"I remember when your father went to kindergarten for the first time, the children around him were left by their parents for the first time. All of them were crying. Your father stood alone in the crowd, and he frowned at the crying children.
"Then, the teacher noticed him and asked him curiously, 'Child, why aren't you crying?' Your father curled his lips and said disdainfully, 'Only little kids cry. I'm not a kid'."
At this point, Old Master Gong sighed and said with a pained expression, "Actually, I know that it's because even if your father cried, no one would have cared about him. All the children were sent to the kindergarten by their parents, but your father was sent there by a subordinate of his grandfather."
Xiao Letong blinked his big eyes when he heard this and asked with some doubt, "Great-grandfather, why didn't you send him to kindergarten?"
Old Master Gong revealed a regretful expression and said, "Grandpa had an important meeting to attend at that time. When I arrived at the kindergarten after the meeting, all I saw was your father following the teacher into the classroom.
"At that time, I called your father's name outside the door. When I saw your father, his eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face.
"But he said to me sensibly, 'Grandpa, I know you're very busy. Go ahead. I can take care of myself. Now that I'm in kindergarten, I'm all grown up'."
Every time he thought of that scene, his heart would ache. When he thought of his grandson's childhood, he felt very sorry for him.
His grandson clearly needed someone to accompany him when he was young, yet Old Master Gong was too busy. Old Master Gong never quite participated in Gong Tianhao's kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, parent-teacher conferences, and all sorts of activities. More importantly, he didn't even notice that his grandson had been hurt and assassinated.
He was a very dutiful person to the country.
But to his grandson, he was a very irresponsible grandfather.
He had always felt that he had let his grandson down. His grandson had lost his parents, and his grandfather wasn't even there for him.
Old Master Gong told a lot of stories about the young Gong Tianhao.
Xiao Letong listened silently.
He wasn't a real child. After hearing his father's story, he couldn't help but be moved. He felt that Gong Tianhao's childhood was even more pitiful than his previous life.
At that time, although he wasn't favored by his own mother, there were still many people around him who loved him. He had his grandparents, great-grandparents, uncle, and aunties.
However, Gong Tianhao lost his parents when he was young and only had a grandfather who was too busy for him.
His grandfather loved him, but because he didn't have time, he was often ignored. Gong Tianhao was bullied by his own family, and his grandfather didn't even realize it. This was probably the most heartbreaking thing for Gong Tianhao.
Xiao Letong had always had a vendetta against Gong Tianhao because of what happened in his previous life. In addition, in this life, Gong Tianhao was there to fight for his mother's love. Hence, Xiao Letong had never liked Gong Tianhao.
After knowing that Gong Tianhao was about to wake up, Xiao Letong panicked. Even if he could not make his mother fall in love with someone else, he could still make things difficult for Gong Tianhao.
But now, he suddenly felt pity and sympathy for his biological father.
Even though Gong Tianhao had immense wealth and power now, the loss and regret he had when he was young could never be made up for.
Xiao Letong sighed in his heart and said to himself, 'Maybe I'll treat Gong Tianhao better in the future.'
Old Master Gong was a shrewd person. When he saw his great-grandson frowning, a glint flashed across his aged eyes.
After returning to Taoyuan Village for so many days, he had naturally heard of Xiao Letong's marriage event for his mother. Xiao Letong had been doing this for a year, and he seemed very happy doing it.
Old Master Gong guessed that the child had some misunderstandings about his own father. It was the reason why he had been doing those things.
Old Master Gong was a smart and astute person. He didn't directly ask his great-grandson but quietly used Gong Tianhao's story to influence Xiao Letong.
Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang, who followed behind him, looked at each other, and then the corners of their mouths rose slightly.
They were not stupid. They understood that the little young master seemed to have a misunderstanding of the eldest young master. Although they did not know where this misunderstanding came from, it was still better for the misunderstanding to be resolved.
Xiao Letong was not really a child. His great-grandfather had returned to the village for so long, so he knew that Old Master Gong had already found out about his marriage event. After all, the event was not a secret. Instead, it had become an entertainment project in Taoyuan Village.
Xiao Letong hadn't held it recently because his great-grandfather had returned.
Xiao Letong sighed softly in his heart and said, 'Forget it. Considering how sad that man was when he was young, I'll stop with the marriage event, but...'
Xiao Letong looked at Old Master Gong and said crisply, "Great-grandfather, father was really pitiful when he was young!"
Old Master Gong nodded in agreement and said, "Mm, your daddy was really pitiful when he was young."
"However, he was also very strong and brave!" This was the first time Xiao Letong had said something good about Gong Tianhao.
When Old Master Gong heard this, he said excitedly, "Mm, your daddy has always been very strong and brave."
Xiao Letong then asked in puzzlement, "But, great-grandfather, when will daddy come to look for Mommy and me?"
Old Master Gong was stunned for a moment before he asked doubtfully, "Why did Tong Tong ask that?"
Xiao Letong replied, "I heard that Daddy was in a coma for two years after the car accident. When he woke up, he forgot all about me and mommy. Is that true?"
"Erm..." Old Master Gong was a little surprised by Xiao Letong's question. He then explained, "Tong Tong, as you said, your daddy was in a coma for two years because of the car accident.
"After the car accident, your father's head was injured, and it was very serious. At that time, we didn't know if he could wake up again.
"But the doctor said that with advanced medical technology, there's a high chance for him to wake up. However, when he wakes up, he might forget some things.
"None of us expect him to forget all about you and your mother when he actually woke up. But Tong Tong, you don't need to worry. This is only temporary.
"Your father will regain his memory very soon. Once he regains his memory, he will definitely come looking for you and your mother."
Xiao Letong nodded and said, "Oh, alright! When he comes looking for mommy and me, I will generously forgive him."
Old Master Gong, "..."
Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang, "..."
This child was really clever.
Chapter 669: See Gong Tianhao
Xiao Lingyu planned to go to the capital to take a look at the shops. She planned to open a supermarket there.
After all, there were more rich and powerful people than in any other big city in the capital. The real estate there was very expensive, so she had to go there to examine the lot.
Of course, she could have sent her subordinate or asked Li Yuanhang for help, but she wanted to learn more about the place where Gong Tianhao grew up.
Xiao Lingyu wanted to give Gong Tianhao a call, but Gong Tianhao did not know her anymore. She suppressed her impulse because she didn't want to disturb him.
Instead, she called Li Yuanhang and explained her intention. She planned to open Green Fresh's biggest supermarket in the capital. However, it was really hard to find a suitable location without connections.
In the capital, besides Gong Tianhao's people, she didn't have any relatives or friends there.
After Li Yuanhang received Xiao Lingyu's call, he thought for a moment and asked, "Lingyu, have you notified Tianhao?"
Gong Tianhao had been in a coma for two years. After he woke up, he had forgotten about Xiao Lingyu and her son. As Gong Tianhao's subordinate and good friend, Li Yuanhang knew about this.
Situ Xing also told Li Yuanhang that for some reason, not only did Gong Tianhao forget about Xiao Lingyu and her son, but he was also subconsciously annoyed when he heard Xiao Lingyu's name.
In order to prevent Gong Tianhao from becoming more averse to Xiao Lingyu, they tried their best to avoid mentioning Xiao Lingyu and her son in front of Gong Tianhao.
Xiao Lingyu was silent for a moment before saying, "I know Tianhao has forgotten about me. But I once said to him, if one day he forgets me, then it will be my turn to pursue him."
When Li Yuanhang heard Xiao Lingyu, the corner of his mouth could not help but twitch.
"To be honest, I do wish to see him when I head to the capital this time. However, since he had forgotten me, I didn't want to call him directly. So, I need you to help me arrange a meal with Gong Tianhao."
While Gong Tianhao was unconscious, Xiao Lingyu went abroad to see Gong Tianhao. However, that was when Gong Tianhao was in a coma.
Now that Gong Tianhao had woken up, she really wanted to talk to him. Even if they couldn't talk, she would be satisfied if she could have a good look at him.
Li Yuanhang thought for a while and said, "Okay, when will you come to the capital? I'll make an appointment with Gong Tianhao."
Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu were already married and had children. Now, due to an accident, the two of them were separated. They were clearly husband and wife, but they had become like strangers.
After Xiao Lingyu and Li Yuanhang made an appointment, Li Yuanhang immediately gave Gong Tianhao a call.
Li Yuanhang said, "Tianhao, are you free tomorrow night?"
Gong Tianhao said, "I have other plans tomorrow night. What's the matter?"
"..." Li Yuanhang explained, "Can you make time? A client said that she wants to have dinner with you tomorrow night. It's a big client!" He emphasized the last sentence.
Gong Tianhao thought for a moment and said, "Okay!"
After Li Yuanhang put down the phone, he informed Xiao Lingyu and said, "He has agreed. However, he only knows that he's having dinner with a client."
Xiao Lingyu replied, "Okay!"
It would take two and a half hours to get to the capital from Taoyuan Village via City Z by plane. However, one had to take into account other traveling times.
Xiao Lingyu immediately made a call and booked a flight ticket for 5:30 am the next day. Then, she packed a few changes of clothes.
Mother Xiao looked at Xiao Lingyu and asked in confusion, "Yu 'Er, are you going on a business trip again?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, "Mom, I'm going to the capital. The plane leaves at 5:30 tomorrow morning. So, I'm going to stay in City Z tonight."
She now had a house in City Z.
"Oh!" Mother Xiao was stunned at first, but then she quickly reacted and asked, "Yu 'Er, are you going to see Tianhao?"
Xiao Lingyu did not hide anything, "Yes. Apart from meeting Tianhao, I need to look into opening a supermarket in Beijing. Now that Tianhao has woken up,I can do business in the capital without worry."
Mother Xiao looked at Xiao Lingyu and said seriously, "Yu 'Er, the capital is not like Taoyuan Village. There are too many powerful people there. You have to be careful.
"Don't offend anyone. Even though our backer is the Gong family, Tianhao no longer remembers us. If you get too close to him, he might think you have ulterior motives."
Xiao Lingyu said, "Mother, don't worry. Compared to the other business in the capital, our supermarket is just a small fry. Besides, I believe that even if Tianhao forgets about us, he wouldn't want us to be hurt."
Mother Xiao was still worried, but she wouldn't stop Xiao Lingyu from seeing Tianhao.
She nodded and said, "Regardless, you should be more careful!"
"Yes, I know!" Xiao Lingyu said.
After dinner, Xiao Lingyu announced her decision to go to the capital.
Old Master Gong nodded and said, "Yu 'Er, if you want to go, then go. If that Brat gives you a hard time, you can tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will teach him a lesson on your behalf!"
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandpa!"
Old Master Gong was very supportive of her.
They were already husband and wife. It didn't matter who would pursue who as long as they could experience love again.
Everyone supported Xiao Lingyu's pursuit of Gong Tianhao, including Situ Xing, Gong Yinxiong, Li Yuanhang, and so on.
Situ Xing did not dare to mention Xiao Lingyu in front of Gong Tianhao anymore.
However, he understood Gong Tianhao. Even if he resisted Xiao Lingyu, the deep love in his bones would make him want to protect her.
However, this time, Li Yuanhang didn't discuss his plan with Situ Xing!
After receiving a phone call, Situ Xing said to Gong Tianhao, "Tianhao, Professor John is free tomorrow morning. However, he doesn't have time to come over, so we have to go find him. And we have to go now."
Professor John that Situ Xing mentioned was an internationally renowned hypnotherapist.
Situ Xing learned from his psychology friend that Gong Tianhao's selective memory loss must have happened before or during his coma. Some events made him trigger this selective amnesia. So, he wanted to know what had happened to Gong Tianhao before the car accident, causing him to block all of Xiao Lingyu's memories.
Situ Xing had asked Xiao Lingyu about it, but Xiao Lingyu didn't have any clue.
Although Gong Tianhao was averse to Xiao Lingyu's name and lost all his memories of Xiao Lingyu, everyone told him that Xiao Lingyu was his wife.
Before the car accident, he loved his wife very much. During the car accident, he sacrificed himself to save his wife in the passenger seat. That was why he was in a coma for two years.
They got married and had a child.
Old Master Gong even showed him their marriage certificate.
He believed that the marriage between him and Xiao Lingyu was true. His grandfather and Situ Xing didn't need to lie to him about his marriage. Therefore, Gong Tianhao also wanted to know why he had lost all his memories of Xiao Lingyu.
After Li Yuanhang received Gong Tianhao's call, he was a little speechless. He looked at Xiao Lingyu, who was sitting opposite him and said, "Yes, okay. I'll talk to the client and make an appointment in the future."
After Li Yuanhang put down the phone, Xiao Lingyu immediately asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Did something happen? Is Tianhao not coming tonight?"
Li Yuanhang said somewhat helplessly, "Tianhao said that they have an appointment with a psychological hypnosis expert from the M nation. It's tomorrow morning, so they have to rush there now."
Xiao Lingyu immediately stood up and said, "Which airport and what flight is it? I'll rush there now."
Li Yuanhang told her the airport and the flight number.
Xiao Lingyu immediately picked up her bag and said to Li Yuanhang, "Yuanhang, please send me to the airport!"
Li Yuanhang nodded and replied, "Okay!"
Chapter 670: Heart Hurts so Much
"Eh, is that Assistant Li from Imperial Palace?"
Li Yuanhang and Xiao Lingyu arranged to meet at the coffee shop.
This coffee shop was a high-end leisure place in the capital. The people who came here were usually those with status.
Li Yuanhang was a famous elite, so many people knew him. When he was in the private booth, the other customers didn't notice him. However, when he stood up and came out, his tall and handsome figurine was immediately noticed and recognized.
"That is assistant Li. Who is the woman beside him? Is she his girlfriend?"
"This woman is really beautiful."
"I've never heard of Special Assistant Li having a girlfriend. Where did this girlfriend come from?"
"This is his private matter. How would we know when he has a girlfriend?"
"I'm just asking. To be honest, I have a sister who said she likes assistant Li and asked me to help introduce her. Now that she has a girlfriend, how am I supposed to introduce her?"
"What's the big deal? I don't see a ring on his finger yet. Everyone has a fair chance."
"Speaking of which, that woman is very beautiful. Why haven't I seen her in the capital before? If she is Li Yuanhang's girlfriend, we should have known about her."
"That's true. This woman seems to have appeared out of nowhere. Could it be that Li Yuanhang is in a long-distance relationship? His girlfriend only comes over occasionally."
"That's possible!"
...
Li Yuanhang and Xiao Lingyu did not know that after they left, there would be so many people talking about them.
They rushed to the airport.
Xiao Lingyu looked at the time and was a little anxious. She said, "The plane leaves at half-past six. There are only twenty minutes left. Can we make it?"
Li Yuanhang was not sure either. He said, "If the traffic is not congested, we should be able to make it."
However, just as he finished speaking, a traffic announcement came from the radio. A car accident happened on the north side of the Airport Road, causing a traffic jam.
Li Yuanhang, "..."
Xiao Lingyu, "..."
Xiao Lingyu asked anxiously, "Yuanhang, is there any other route to get to the airport?"
Li Yuanhang said helplessly, "Lingyu, this route is the closest. But it seems like we have to take a detour."
"How long will this detour take?"
"About 20 to 30 minutes," Li Yuanhang said and then comforted her, "Don't worry, my driving skills are top-notch. I will drive as fast as I can. If there are no accidents, we will be there in 20 minutes."
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, "Okay!"
Sitting in the passenger seat, she kept looking forward.
25 minutes later, when Li Yuanhang and Xiao Lingyu arrived at the International Airport, they heard the announcement, "Dear passengers, the flight to Country M is departing soon... Please enter..."
"Where are they?" Xiao Lingyu asked urgently.
Situ Xing and Gong Tianhao would have used the VIP check-in channel.
Li Yuanhang said, "Wait, let me make a call."
Li Yuanhang called Situ Xing.
"Young Master Situ, don't rush in with Tianhao. Slow down. I brought someone to send them off."
Situ Xing understood easily. He nodded and replied, "Okay!"
Since they were using the VIP channel, they didn't need to queue up like normal travelers.
After hanging up, Li Yuanhang told Xiao Lingyu, "Come, this way!"
Gong Tianhao looked at Situ Xing, who kept looking at his watch. He asked curiously, "Ol Seven, we're about to board the plane. Why do you keep looking at the time?"
Situ Xing laughed embarrassedly and said, "Hehe, it's nothing. I'm just checking the time to see how much longer we have before we can board the plane."
Gong Tianhao, "..." Who is he lying to? He is not a three-year-old who had never been on a plane before.
Gong Tianhao's sharp eyes stared at him. Situ Xing felt his scalp go numb from his stare. He had no choice but to admit, "Li Yuanhang said he had brought someone to send us off."
"Who is it?" Gong Tianhao asked sharply.
"It's your wife!" Situ Xing said.
Gong Tianhao immediately carried his suitcase and turned around to walk towards the entrance. However, if one looked carefully, his footsteps clearly slowed down.
Situ Xing, "..." Such a tsundere. Love can really change a person.
However, when Li Yuanhang and Xiao Lingyu rushed over, another small accident happened.
Li Yuanhang accidentally bumped into an old man, and the old man pulled him and refused to let him go.
Then, the old man's family quickly surrounded Li Yuanhang. They wanted compensation. If they refused to pay 30,000 RMB, they would not let him go.
They had met a scammer.
Li Yuanhang helplessly stayed behind while Xiao Lingyu continued to walk forward.
However, because she was not familiar with the airport, she had wasted some time finding the right direction.
When she arrived, she only saw the man who was leaving.
At the outer railing, she anxiously shouted, "Gong Tianhao!"
When Gong Tianhao heard a woman's voice, he paused for a moment but did not turn around. Instead, he continued walking forward.
Situ Xing looked at Xiao Lingyu and then at the hesitant Gong Tianhao. He shook his head and said helplessly, "Why is God so unfair?" They were clearly lovers, so why did they have to go through this trial?
Situ Xing turned back to greet Xiao Lingyu, "Sister-in-law, you're here."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Yes." But her eyes were fixed on the figure who didn't stop moving away from her.
Situ Xing explained on behalf of Gong Tianhao, "Sister-in-law, don't blame boss. Boss is..."
Xiao Lingyu waved her hand and said, "Thank you. It's okay. I understand. You should hurry, or you'd miss the plane!"
Situ Xing, "..."
Situ Xing nodded and said, "Okay, then sister-in-law, let's meet again when we get back!"
Xiao Lingyu replied, "Okay!" They still had plenty of time in the future.
Situ Xing jogged a few steps to catch up with Gong Tianhao. Then, he asked curiously, "Boss, are you really not going to greet sister-in-law?"
"Hmph!" Gong Tianhao snorted coldly.
"..." Situ Xing continued, "You should at least turn around to say hello to her. Look, she has purposely rushed here to send you off."
Gong Tianhao's sharp eyes shot at Situ Xing coldly and then said coldly, "Shush!"
Situ Xing covered his mouth reflexively and said, "Alright, alright."
Xiao Lingyu looked at Gong Tianhao's receding figure with disappointment and heartache.
She knew that Gong Tianhao had forgotten her.
However, when he didn't even want to turn around to see her, her heart broke.
Once, he held her in his hands and loved her. He protected her and didn't let her suffer any grievances.
Now, he didn't even want to see her.
'Tianhao, I know I've once said that I'd pursue you after you've forgotten about me. But when I truly face this moment, my heart is so painful.
'Only now did I realize that I simply cannot accept the fact that you have forgotten about me. Tianhao, you've spoiled me too much.
'I was supposed to be the one who pursued you this time, but when I face this man who acts like a stranger around me, my heart hurts so bad.
'I really wanted the Gong Tianhao who spoiled me to return.'
Xiao Lingyu stood outside the guardrail and looked at the VIP channel. She could not help but shed tears.
At this moment, a group of media reporters suddenly swarmed over and quickly surrounded Xiao Lingyu.
"Miss, you've just shouted for Gong Tianhao, haven't you?"
"Miss, who are you to Gong Tianhao? What is the relationship between the two of you?"
...
When Li Yuanhang finished dealing with the scammer, he saw many reporters surrounding Xiao Lingyu. His face immediately turned black.
He immediately squeezed in and shielded Xiao Lingyu behind him.
Before he could speak, a reporter exclaimed, "Wait, that is Imperial Palace Assistant CEO, Li Yuanhang!"
