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.
