Chapter 286: Complaint

Translator: Lonelytree 

The outpouring of Zheng Haiyang’s concern made the other two look at him. They did not say anything but looked at Gu Ziye in unison and asked, “Yes, Ziye, did something happen to Xiao Lingyu?”

Gu Ziye said, “Xiao Lingyu told me that she planned to contract a few mountains in Taoyuan Village, but she got rejected by the county town government officials.”

“She wants to contract a few mountains?!” The other three were surprised, and their first reaction was to say, “What is Xiao Lingyu going to grow this time?” To them, Xiao Lingyu had a green thumb. She grew delicious vegetables and strawberries. She had to have a big plan to contract a few mountains.

Gu Ziye shook his head and said, “I don’t know either. She just said that her request was stuck. The officials told her it was because her activities would destroy the mountain’s natural ecology. She knew this was just an excuse. So she wanted us to help her find out what is really going on.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them all stared at Qian Yifan. Among the four of them, Qian Yifan was closest to the political world.

Qian Yifan was confused by their stares. Then, he said, “Okay. I’ll see if I can get anything from my dad.”

Gu Ziye smiled and said, “Yifan, then I’ll thank you on behalf of Xiao Lingyu.”

Qian Yifan rolled his eyes and said, “Why are you thanking me for? Besides, Xiao Lingyu and I are friends. It’s only right for me to help her.”

Zheng Haiyang said, “Yifan, I remember that Xiao Lingyu seems to know your grandfather. If your dad can’t help you, you can ask your grandfather for help.”

Qian Yifan rolled his eyes again and said unhappily, “There’s no need to trouble him with this small matter.”

This small matter was a huge deal to Xiao Lingyu though, because it meant she owed them a favor.

Seeing Xiao Lingyu calling another man for help, Gong Tianhao felt uneasy, and his eyes darkened. He didn’t like that Xiao Lingyu had turned to another man to solve her problems. He was feeling jealous.

As soon as Xiao Lingyu hung up the phone, she met Gong Tianhao’s sorrowful gaze.

Xiao Lingyu was baffled. She asked, “What’s wrong?”

Gong Tianhao said, “Yu ‘Er, I can help you with this. You should ask me for help and not some other man. I’m feeling jealous now.”

Xiao Lingyu, “…”

This man is… really shameless.

When Father and Mother Xiao heard this, they covered their mouths and snickered at the side.

They felt that Gong Tianhao was really too cute.

He was really straightforward and sincere. He was so straightforward in expressing his feelings for their daughter. They could tell that Gong Tianhao really liked their daughter. At least they didn’t think Gong Tianhao and his grandfather were master actors.

Xiao Lingyu rolled her eyes and said unhappily, “What does it have to do with me if you’re jealous? You can be jealous all you want.”

Mother Xiao immediately coughed twice and reprimanded, “Yu ‘Er, how can you speak like this?”

Then, she changed into another person and said to Gong Tianhao in a very amicable manner, “Tianhao, don’t mind her. Yu ‘Er has always been spoiled by us. She has no manners.”

Technically, she only had no manners around Gong Tianhao.

Gong Tianhao smiled sweetly and said, “Auntie, it’s fine. I’m already used to it!” He was referring to Xiao Lingyu’s distant attitude towards him.

Xiao Lingyu, “…” Did he just complain to my parents about me?

Mother Xiao felt so sorry for Gong Tianhao. She knew how harsh her daughter had treated the man.

She said, “Tianhao, Yu ‘Er has made you suffer. Don’t worry, I will stand up for you. I will teach her a lesson.”

Xiao Lingyu, “…”

Mom, who is your child?

Mother Xiao immediately said to Xiao Lingyu in a harsh tone, “Xiao Lingyu, Tianhao is our guest. When did I teach you to treat our guest so badly?”

“…” Xiao Lingyu said innocently, “Mom, when did I treat Young Master Gong badly?” After saying that, she glared at him. The man was the richest man in the world. To think that he’d tattle about her to her mother…

“You’re glaring at him!” Mother Xiao scolded. “You’re already treating him like this when we’re here. Did you beat him up and scold him in private?”

Xiao Lingyu opened her mouth to speak, but Mother Xiao didn’t let her speak at all. She continued, “Xiao Lingyu, let me tell you. Don’t think that just because Tianhao likes you, you can treat him badly.”

“Mother,” Xiao Lingyu called out as if she wanted to explain herself.

Then, Gong Tianhao immediately explained, “Auntie, you’re wrong about Yu ‘Er. She doesn’t treat me badly.

“It’s just that she doesn’t let me hold her when she can’t walk properly and almost falls. She doesn’t let me shield her when those naughty children rush over, and she doesn’t let me get her water when she’s thirsty…”

Xiao Lingyu, “…” Does the complaint never end? How can he bring up these things to complain to her mother? It is absolutely detestable.

Xiao Lingyu’s parents, “…” Tianhao is so concerned about our daughter, but she doesn’t seem to care about him. What is she thinking? Doesn’t she know that she is lucky to find a man who treats her so well?

Mother Xiao sighed. ‘I have to help him along.’ Mother Xiao said, “Tianhao, Auntie will make the decision on this matter. When she doesn’t look where she’s going, hold on to her. When she’s thirsty and hungry, get her some water and snacks. As for her own opinion, you can completely ignore it.”

Gong Tianhao received the support of Mother Xiao. His deep eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He said happily, “Alright, Auntie, I will definitely listen to you and take good care of Yu ‘Er.”

Xiao Lingyu’s mouth twitched. Who is her biological child?

Gong Tianhao had received permission from Mother Xiao. In the future, he would have a legitimate reason to stick to Xiao Lingyu.

From then on, Gong Tianhao stuck to Xiao Lingyu like sticky candy. She was unable to pull him off.

It was just as he said. No matter she liked it or not, she had to get used to him being by her side!
