Chapter 160: Chapter 160: The Old Man is Too Naive Chapter 160: Chapter 160: The Old Man is Too Naive “Pfft!” Liu Mingzhu couldn’t help it and burst into laughter.
Wasn’t she supposed to be comforting me, how did it end up with Little Taotie comforting her instead?
“So, let’s not cry anymore, okay?” Liu Mingzhu gently wiped a tear from the corner of the little girl’s eye.
Tao Ti’s eyes were red, her nose was red, she looked like a little calico cat, weakly responding, “Mhm, no more crying.”
Grandpa must have been reincarnated by now, he would go to a good family, have a good life, everything would start over, I should be happy for Grandpa, cannot cry!
Liu Mingzhu washed her face, dampened a towel, and used the warm damp towel to wipe Little Taotie’s face, “Be good and wait for me to come back.”
Liu Mingzhu returned to the living room, picked up a fairy tale book from the ground, and Tao Mo came forward anxiously asking, “Has she stopped crying?”
Liu Mingzhu sternly asked, “What exactly happened? Who made her cry?”
Tao Mo’s guilty eyes shifted around.
Liu Mingzhu’s eyes grew menacing as she asked, “Was it Dad who made her cry?”
“I… I just accidentally mentioned her grandfather.”
Tao Mo felt wronged too, he is the legitimate grandfather, yet he couldn’t compare to the counterfeit in his granddaughter’s heart.
Alas, he could only admit defeat!
Tian Leran changed the subject, asking, “Is she asleep?”
Liu Mingzhu’s demeanor softened, shaking her head, “I’m going up now to tell her a story and put her to sleep.”
“Have you thought of what story to tell?”
Liu Mingzhu held the fairy tale book and headed upstairs.
Tian Leran slapped Tao Mo hard on the back, “You better keep control of that troublemaking mouth of yours in the future!”
Tao Mo sighed, “I didn’t mean to, ah, I didn’t realize she and her grandfather were so close. Old partner, I’m really jealous!”
“She had a hard time in the mountains, only the old man took care of her, she could have a slightly better life, he was her only support, naturally their bond was deep,” Tian Leran shook his head, feeling somewhat jealous herself.
Tao Mo clenched his fist, whispered, “She’s only six now, they were together for only six years! I’ll live a few more years, in the next ten, twenty, thirty years, I’ll surpass him!”
Humph, I am the legitimate grandfather, I’ll definitely win with the tactic of time!
Tian Leran looked at him sympathetically, unable to bring herself to crush his enthusiasm.
Some people, some things, cannot be forgotten with time, nor replaced with the tactic of time.
Old fellow, you’re still a bit too naïve!
Cheng Guodong said sternly, “I am Little Taotie’s agent, her future will be planned after consulting with her, please don’t interfere anymore, you didn’t have control over it before, nor should you in the future.”
Qin Xin stood beside Cheng Guodong, his face smiling but his eyes were serious, “We only follow my sister’s wishes, if she wants to be a star, we’ll do our utmost to support her, if she doesn’t want to be a star, we’ll cut off all her ties with the entertainment industry and let her slowly fade from the public eye.”
Tao Shen put down the hairdryer in his hand, walked over to Cheng Guodong and Qin Xin, looking towards his grandfathers, “I agree with big brother and second brother.”
Seeing his own grandson standing on the opposing side, Tao Mo’s face fell, the little old man lamented, “I get it, whatever you say goes, everyone treats me like the enemy, I just care about my sweet granddaughter, I’m afraid she’ll get tired, why doesn’t anyone understand me…”
“Alright, alright, just say less!” Tian Leran pulled the old man away, looking back at the others, “We are old, need to sleep early, we’re going to bed, you should rest early too.”
Tao Shen nodded, “Grandpa, Grandma, good night.”
