Chapter 655: Stubborn Child
“Yu ‘Er, what happened? Why are you back already?” Seeing her daughter return with her suitcase, mother Xiao, who was washing vegetables in the yard, was shocked. “Did something happen?”
Xiao Lingyu did not want her family to worry, so she shook her head and said, “It’s nothing. It’s just that my passport is missing.”
“You lost your passport?!” Mother Xiao immediately said with some reproach, “The passport is such an important thing. How did you lose it?”
Xiao Lingyu said with some helplessness, “During the inspection, a person rushed over and bumped into me. Then, our passports fell to the ground. Who would have thought that our passports would have been exchanged?” The fact was it wasn’t an accident. The other party purposely grabbed her passport and left behind a fake one. The fake passport looked just like Xiao Lingyu’s real passport. Therefore, when she tried to board the plane, she was immediately taken away for investigation.
Xiao Lingyu knew that the people who targeted her had made all the preparation. Therefore, she wouldn’t be able to leave the interrogation room so on. Plus, she didn’t have any connections in Shanghai.
Xiao Lingyu had no choice but to call Gong Yinxiong to inform him.
Not long after, the airport inspection bureau found out the truth. Xiao Lingyu had been the victim of a scam.
Mother Xiao said, “In the end, you were careless! If you were careful, would this have happened?”
Xiao Lingyu, “…” Her mother was right. However, at the time, she was pondering who had targeted her. She was too distracted to realize the trap was not yet over.
Mother Xiao muttered a few words and asked, “Then, when will you go again?”
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, “In two days!” She was still unsure of the purpose of the person who was spying on her. If it was to target Gong Tianhao, she couldn’t bring the danger to him.
Although Gong Tianhao was awake now, he had been lying in bed for two years. Even with the effect of the spring water, his muscles had atrophied. He had to undergo some training. This was a moment of weakness for Gong Tianhao. Situ Xing had done everything to protect Gong Tianhao, but one couldn’t be too careful.
Therefore, Xiao Lingyu asked Gong Yinxiong to investigate this matter. Also, the girl had been injected with Qi. Xiao Ling could use it to trace her. According to Xiao Ling, the girl was in the capital. She had to bring Xiao Ling to the capital to find her.
Just as Xiao Lingyu was in deep thought, Xiao Letong’s cheerful voice came from outside. “Mommy, did you come back from country M already?” Xiao Letong asked, slightly puzzled. ‘Could be that the amnesiac man has kicked mother back?’ That was his guess. He looked angry.
Xiao Letong asked loudly, “Mommy, did that… person chase you back?”
Xiao Lingyu rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache.
The child was still unwilling to call Gong Tianhao father.This was a long and troublesome problem.
She had already lectured and reprimanded him. Was she really going to hit the child? Of course not.
Xiao Letong was a sensible and polite child. He was beautiful and cute. He was loved by everyone. He was raised very well.
However, the child was very stubborn with regard to his father. Xiao Lingyu could not help but think, ‘Could they be nemesis in their previous lives?’
Xiao Lingyu looked at his son’s angry little face and patted his little head twice. He smiled and said, “What are you thinking about? Why would your father chase me back?”
Xiao Letong immediately showed a suspicious look, “Then why did you come back so soon?”
Xiao Lingyu explained, “I ran into an accident at the airport and lost my passport. Without my passport, I was unable to get on the plane. So I plan to get a replacement passport and try again in two days.”
Xiao Letong’s little head nodded and said, “Oh.”
Xiao Lingyu then said seriously, “Son, you can’t accuse people without knowing the truth, do you understand? You’ve wronged your father’s character. He’ll be so sad when he knows that! When you were still in mommy’s stomach, your father talked to you daily and swore to protect you.”
Xiao Letong’s eyes flashed, and he immediately admitted his mistake. “Mommy, I know I’m wrong! I’m sorry!”
Xiao Lingyu smoothed out the few strands of hair on his head and smiled. “It’s great that you know your mistake. You’re a good child, but…” Xiao Lingyu changed the topic and said very seriously, “Son, the person you should apologize to is your biological father, not me. Do you understand?”
Xiao Letong’s little face became conflicted, and he frowned. In the end, he nodded seriously and said, “Yes, I understand. I will definitely apologize to him in the future!” As for when he would apologize, it would depend on Gong Tianhao’s performance.
If he continued to ignore them and abandon them, Xiao Letong would never forgive, much less apologize to him.
Xiao Lingyu saw the change in her son’s expression and heaved a sigh of relief. ‘As long as Tong Tong can see the better side of his father. Or else I really don’t know what to do.’
However, Xiao Lingyu relaxed too early.
Xiao Letong raised his innocent face and looked at Xiao Lingyu, his eyes shining brightly.
Then, he said, “Mommy, I found a few matchmaking partners on the Internet that fit your criteria.”
Everyone looked at the mother and son, “…”
Xiao Lingyu, “…”
Had the child been addicted to being a matchmaker? Every day, he wanted to replace his father with a new man. They really didn’t understand why the child had such deep resentments towards his father. It had been almost a year since he started finding a new candidate to be his mother’s husband.
Xiao Lingyu’s expression changed, and then she gritted her teeth and asked with a smile, “Do these men all look similar to you?”
Xiao Letong hesitated for a moment and nodded. “Yes, yes!” Well, most of them were only two or three percent similar. But that was still similar, right?
Xiao Lingyu asked again, “Are they worth hundreds of billions of dollars, unmarried and around 30 years old?”
Xiao Letong’s expression changed, and he became even more hesitant.
He thought for a while and said, “Based on their looks, I can say for sure that they will be worth more than 100 billion in the future!” Not every man was as rich as Gong Tianhao.
Some of them would become millionaires based on Xiao Letong’s ability to read people’s fortunes. But this meant that for now, they were… penniless.
Xiao Lingyu raised her eyebrows, and the smile on her face was sinister. She asked, “In other words, they don’t have any money at the moment, right?”
Xiao Letong pursed his lips and did not say anything.
Xiao Lingyu looked at her son’s expression, feeling both angry and amused.
Then she said, “Son, how many men are like your father in this world? He’s young, handsome, rich and kind, and considerate to his family. Your mother can’t bear to part with your father and live with a poor man.”
It was not that she valued money, but her son was very stubborn. She allowed him to continue this matchmaking journey, but it didn’t mean that she’d cooperate. She already had the best husband in the world. Why would she abandon him?
Xiao Letong hesitated for a moment and said stubbornly, “But… but hasn’t he forgotten about us?” His small face was filled with anger and resentment.
Xiao Lingyu was stunned for a moment, then she came back to her senses and asked with some doubt, “So, Tong Tong, is this your way to take revenge on him?”
The others’ expressions changed as well.
Xiao Letong pursed his lips tightly and silently agreed with Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu’s heart ached. She held her child in her arms and said, “Silly child, you’ve been wronged. Your father was only injured, and his brain was hurt. His amnesia is temporary.
“Believe Mommy. He’ll soon remember us. But to do that, we have to work hard too. Son, trust me. When your father remembers us, you’ll be the happiest child in the world!”
When Xiao Letong heard this, his tears immediately fell.
He had always had a knot in his heart. He wanted the love of his parents.
After returning to his previous life, he felt his mother’s love.
In these two to three years, he fully experienced the sweet happiness of having his mother’s love.
He wanted to monopolize his mother’s love, but he found that his father occupied a very important position in his mother’s heart.
He suddenly didn’t want this father’s love at all because it would make him feel like he would lose his mother’s love to this man.
Gong Tianhao’s memory loss made him feel confused and a little panicked.
He did not know whether he should be happy or angry.
Xiao Letong nodded and said, “Alright, we’ll wait for him to remember us! If he can’t, then I’ll find myself a stepfather!”
Xiao Lingyu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she replied, “Okay!”
