Chapter 430 Xiao Lingyu’s Fear

After Qin Yan left the Jiang Family and got to a place where no one could see her, her pitiful and aggrieved demeanor disappeared. What replaced it was a smug expression and a faint sarcasm.

She would not do anything that risked her reputation, but it didn’t mean she couldn’t use someone else.

Old Master Jiang was famous in the capital for his stubbornness and ruthlessness.

He controlled Jiang Tao aggressively and firmly, not allowing him to do anything that went beyond the scope of his plan. He also would not allow anyone or anything to affect the heir of the Jiang family.

Qin Yan held the steering wheel. Her face was full of joy and a crazy smile.

She would never allow any woman to have a relationship with Gong Tianhao. She was meant to be Gong Tianhao. If she couldn’t be with him, then no one else could. Qin Yan smiled and drove away.

At the Jiang Family, Old Master Jiang looked at the photo in his hand. His eyes were dark and terrifying with thunder and lightning.

There were two people in the photo. One was Jiang Tao, and the other was Xiao Lingyu.

However, one could only see the side of Jiang Tao’s face. The couple was talking and laughing in front of a big tree. In the picture, Jiang Tao looked so happy. Old Master Jiang had not seen this expression on his grandson’s face after that incident with the dog when he was a child.

Butler Jiang looked at the photo and frowned. He said in puzzlement, “Master, this… Is this photo fake? Like a computer composite or something. We have never seen the eldest young master like this. Shall we test it?” He had never seen the young master so happy before.

Old Master Jiang held the photo and said, “I don’t think Qin Yan would dare to use a fake photo to fool me. Ol Jiang, send someone to investigate. You must find out who this woman is. If necessary, make her disappear from this world. I will absolutely not allow anyone to affect the Jiang family’s heir.” When Butler Jiang heard this, he was shocked.

Then, he asked doubtfully, “Old Master, where did Miss Qin get this photo? Back then, we also sent people to investigate the small county. Everything was normal.”

Old Master Jiang said, “She said she didn’t know either. Someone sent it to her.”

“Master, do you believe that?” Butler Jiang became more and more suspicious.

“It doesn’t matter. I don’t know how she got this picture, but it is the truth that Jiang Tao has a woman he likes out there.” Old Master Jiang said angrily, “Qin Yan must have confirmed it. Or else she wouldn’t need to come here to do that whole show.”

Qin Yan’s little tricks could fool others but not him. However, this didn’t lower Qin Yan’s reputation in his eyes. As the future madam of the Jiang Family, it was good that she was scheming. Otherwise, a vase would only drag Jiang Tao down.

“Ol Jiang, send someone to that place quickly and secretly investigate everything about the eldest young master. Pay attention to the women around him.” Old Master Jiang ordered.

“Yes!” Butler Jiang replied.

Then, Butler Jiang left.

After Jiang Tao came to Taoyuan Village, he had lunch at the Xiao family’s house. After staying for a while, he quickly left. He was in a time crunch. He had to return to the station to report to his grandfather. Otherwise, he would be suspicious again.

After Jiang Tao left, Xiao Lingyu asked curiously, “What exactly did you tell Brother Jiang? How did he accept the truth so quickly?”

She knew that Jiang Tao liked her. He had confessed to her, and she rejected him.

Gong Tianhao grabbed her hand and curled his lips. He smiled and said, “What else can I say? I told him the truth.”

Xiao Lingyu looked at him suspiciously.

Gong Tianhao smoothed her bangs and sighed softly, “You don’t have to worry. Tao Zi and I grew up together. I know his personality very well. He looks aloof. However, he is hard on the outside but soft on the inside. He is a very kind

person.”

Xiao Lingyu agreed with this point.

Although he had not known Jiang Tao for long, he knew that he only appeared to be unfriendly on the surface. After getting close to him, she realized he was a sincere and kind person.

“It’s just that he was suppressed by his grandfather since he was young. So he can’t live his life. He can’t even reveal any human feelings.” Gong Tianhao’s tone was calm, but one could hear his pity and sympathy for Jiang Tao.

“What?” Xiao Lingyu was extremely surprised. “He can’t reveal any human feelings? How is that possible? What kind of grandfather does he have? Does he still see Jiang Tao as a human?”

Gong Tianhao sighed. “He doesn’t. Jiang Tao’s grandfather wanted to nurture an heir who would only see the benefits of the Jiang Family. Tao Zi was separated from his parents when he was young. He was not allowed to have any emotional connections.”

Xiao Lingyu widened her eyes in disbelief. “His grandfather is unbelievable.”

“Tao Zi wanted to raise a dog when he was seven years old,” Gong Tianhao continued. “His grandfather let him raise it, but do you know what the result was?”.

“What?” Xiao Lingyu’s voice was a little anxious. She had a bad feeling…

“In the end, the dog was skinned and made into dog meat stew. Then, his grandfather forced Tao Zi to eat the pet’s meat.” Gong Tianhao’s tone was obviously a little angry, “Tao Zi had that dog for two years. During these two years, Tao Zi and that dog have been together day and night, and their relationship was very good. His grandfather forced the dog meat down Tao Zi’s stomach.”

“Is his grandfather crazy?” Xiao Lingyu was shocked, “How can there be such a cold-blooded and heartless grandfather?”

Xiao Lingyu’s grandfather was a kind and amiable old man with principles.

Gong Tianhao’s grandfather was also very kind.

Therefore, she simply could not imagine that Jiang Tao’s grandfather would actually treat her own grandson so cruelly and ruthlessly.

Gong Tianhao said sarcastically, “Old Master Jiang is a domineering, stubborn, cruel, and merciless person. He doesn’t allow Tao Zi to stray from the path of the heir.

“Everything must be under his control. Anything that affects Tao Zi must be cut off mercilessly. The perfect example is that pet dog.”

Xiao Lingyu’s eyes were already red, and the corners of her eyes contained some sparkling tears.

This was a pity, sympathy, and heartache for Jiang Tao.

She did not expect such a tall and strong-looking person to have such a pitiful family background.

“Back then, when I came to Xing Yin County, Tao Zi told me that he had fallen in love with a girl. He wanted to pursue her.” Gong Tianhao said truthfully, “At that time, I was both happy and worried for him. I was happy that he was able to walk out of the shadows of the past and love someone again. But I was worried about this girl once his grandfather found out the truth.

“Who would have known that girl was you.” Gong Tianhao said with a bitter smile, “At that time, I already had a good impression of you. However, for his sake, I did not show it. I told myself that I couldn’t betray Tao Zi.

“Later, there was a rumor in the capital that Tao Zi was to be married to a girl from another family. To confirm the rumor, Tao Zi had to return to the capital. However, after returning to the capital, his grandfather quickly discovered that there was something strange about him. Jiang Tao didn’t expect this either. He called me and asked me toprotect you.” “Why?” Hearing this, Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly. Then, she widened her eyes and said in disbelief, “Could it be that he’s afraid that I’ll end up like that dog?”

Gong Tianhao nodded seriously and said, “That’s right. If his grandfather finds out that the slight change in him is because of you, then he will definitely make a move.”

Xiao Lingyu’s face turned pale when she heard this, and she broke out in cold sweat.

“But… but I rejected him. His grandfather would still come after me?” Xiao Lingyu stuttered. In her two lifetimes, she had not been in such danger before.

Gong Tianhao said with certainty, “Grandfather Jiang will not let go of anyone who affects Tao Zi.”

“Madness… This is madness!” Xiao Lingyu cursed.
