“No, no!” Xiao Shumiao shook her little head vigorously, clutching Lingyue’s hand tightly, and said seriously: “The bad guys want to catch Brother Xiaoyue, Brother Xiaoyue has to hide well and can’t be caught by the bad guys!”
Senior Master Xiang was taken aback and turned to look at Senior Master Xie: “Senior Brother Xie, why did you think of catching my grandson? Could it be that Senior Brother Xie also noticed that my grandson is highly talented, a developing jewel, and you want to fight with me for my grandson?”
Senior Master Xie was confused: “Your grandson? When did you have a grandson?”
He and Eldest Xiang were relatives by marriage.
His eldest daughter Xie Meiwei married Senior Master Xie’s son, Xiang Jiechao and gave birth to Xiang Bingzhi.
Xiang Jiechao is Senior Master Xiang’s only son.
Xiang Bingzhi is Xiang Jiechao’s only daughter.
Where did Senior Master Xiang get a grandson?
Could it be a child out of wedlock?
Senior Xiang seemed like a more particular person though.
He was deeply in love with his late wife, never forgetting her; he didn’t even pay much attention to his current partner, how could he possibly have indulged in infidelity?
“What are you thinking?” Senior Master Xiang looked at Senior Master Xie’s expression and knew he was having strange thoughts, chuckling he said: “Yesterday I went out for a walk, and happened to run into Xiao Zhu and his group. I hit it off with that boy named Lingyue, and acknowledged him as my adopted grandson. Today I heard that something happened to my adopted grandson, so I rushed over to take a look. Come, Xiao Yue, come to grandpa.”
Lingyue gently pushed Xiao Shumiao away, walked out from behind Gu Junzhu, and went to Senior Master Xiang, lowering his head to softly call out: “Grandpa.”
Senior Master Xiang touched his head, “Good boy!”
Senior Master Xie looked at Lingyue, then at Senior Master Xiang, suddenly understanding why Senior Master Xiang would suddenly show up here!
He must have heard about Lingyue pushing his granddaughter down the stairs and was afraid he would give Lingyue a hard time. He rushed to the hospital to support Lingyue!
Senior Master Xie pointing at Senior Master Xiang, he chortled, “You old cunning fox, still playing tricks with me, you, you really are….”
Senior Master Xiang stroked Lingyue’s head and chuckled, “I have a good connection with this child, and since the child called me grandpa once, I have to protect him. What do you say, Brother Xie, forgive this child for my sake? I apologize for him, and I will instruct him properly in the future!”
While he was apologizing, there was no guilt on his face at all.
He didn’t think Lingyue had done anything wrong, but rather admired Lingyue’s courage, spirit, and loyalty.
He deeply disapproved of Senior Master Xie’s heavy-handed approach to an eight-year-old child.
It was obviously his granddaughter who was unkind despite her young age. Lingyue was merely being emotional and seeking revenge for Ye Xingbei.
He loved and admired a child who was clear about grudges and favors, and who possessed courage and guts.
He was pleased that he had made the right choice.
The apology was nothing more than an excuse to allow Senior Master Xie to step down with dignity.
In fact, he had been standing at the door for a while before he spoke, but no one had noticed him because everyone in the room was in a heated argument.
He had a rough idea of what had just happened.
Senior Master Xie wanted to use his seniority to pressure Gu Junzhu, to take his adopted grandson away. The old man didn’t expect Gu Junzhu to stand firm and not give in, leaving Senior Master Xie with no way forward or back.
He spoke up just to give Senior Master Xie a way to save face.
Senior Master Xie, the cunning fox who had been around for a generation, of course also saw this point.
