Chapter 426 Annul

Jiang Tao and Gong Tianhao returned to the Gong family, while Xiao Lingyu returned to the Xiao family.

When they arrived at the Gong family, Grandfather Gong was really happy to see Jiang Tao.

“Little Peach, you’re here,” Grandfather Gong said with a smile. “It’s good that you’re here. Hao ‘Er is getting married. The banquet will be held in a few days, so you must attend it.” Jiang Tao, “…”

Gong Tianhao, “…”

Grandfather, these words of yours are like thousands of arrows piercing the heart. Do you know Little Peach like your granddaughter-in-law?

After Jiang Tao heard Grandfather Gong’s words, he forced out a smile and said, “Is that

SO?”

ARIO

Grandfather Gong narrowed his eyes and felt that something was wrong with Jiang Tao. He then asked with some doubt, “Little Peach, are you not feeling well?”

Jiang Tao, “…”

Gong Tianhao, “…”

Jiang Tao shook his head and said, “Grandfather, I’m not feeling unwell. Perhaps I’m a little tired from the long journey.”

That was a lie. The thing that tired him was realizing the woman he liked ended up with his good brother. And the woman made it very clear that she didn’t like him. However, he also knew from the start that she never did like him. This made him feel very complicated.

Old Master Gong looked at Jiang Tao’s appearance and started to wonder. He still felt that there was something on Little Peach’s mind.

Old Master Gong’s peripheral vision slowly swept over to Gong Tianhao’s side. However, he suddenly noticed that half of his face seemed to be a little swollen, and there were traces of blood in the corner of his mouth.

From the looks of it, he seemed to have been beaten up.

Grandfather Gong asked in puzzlement, “Hao ‘Er, what happened to your face? Who hit you? Is it Yu ‘Er?” But the girl shouldn’t be able to bruise his grandson that easily.

Gong Tianhao wiped the corner of his mouth again, and his gaze swept over Jiang Tao as he said, “It’s fine. It wasn’t Yu ‘Er.”

Grandfather Gong looked at Gong Tianhao suspiciously for a moment. Then his gaze swept over Jiang Tao’s face again. His expression became even more unnatural.

Old Master Gong narrowed his eyes. ‘Hao ‘Er and Tao ‘Er have something going in. Did they have some kind of conflict? So did Tao ‘Er hit Hao ‘Er? But why?’

Then again, he didn’t worry too much. These two had been fighting since they were young Granted, they didn’t lose their temper that often anymore after they grew older. However, it was common for them to spar with their fists.

The friendship between men was actually formed through fighting. The more they fought, the deeper their friendship became. But from the looks of it, it was only his kid who was beaten up.

Regardless, Old Master Gong would not interfere. He ignored the wounds on his grandson’s face and turned to Jiang Tao, “Little Peach, I heard that you are engaged to that girl from the Qin family? Congratulations. I was quite worried about your marriage. But now I don’t need to worry anymore.”

Jiang Tao’s expression immediately stiffened. Then, he said with difficulty, “Thank you, grandfather!”

Gong Tianhao didn’t want his grandfather to tear into his good brother’s wounds, so he said, “Grandfather, Tao Zi and I still have some matters to attend to. We’ll leave first.”

After saying that, Gong Tianhao took the lead and walked deep into the house. Jiang Tao nodded to Old Master Gong and left as well.

Old Master Gong stared at the backs of the two children, and his expression revealed some doubt.

He waved at Xiao Wang, who immediately stopped watering the flowers. He put down the watering can and walked up to Old Master Gong. “Old Master, what are your orders?” Xiao Wang asked respectfully.

Old Master Gong looked in the direction of the house and asked, “Xiao Wang, do you think Hao ‘Er and Tao ‘Er are hiding something from me?”

“…” Xiao Wang said speechlessly, “Old Master, I don’t know either.”

“Wait. Wasn’t the brat on a date with Yu ‘Er?” Old Master Gong gasped. “Did they fight in front of her?”

Xiao Wang, “….”

Gong Tianhao returned to his room and took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet. He opened it and poured it into a transparent white wine glass.

Once the red liquid was poured into the wine glass, it swirled like a whirlpool. The aroma of the wine gave off a charming aroma.

He took two glasses of red wine and handed one to Jiang Tao. Then, he took a glass and sat on the mahogany chair.

Jiang Tao took the red wine and took a sip. Then, he leaned back on the chair and asked directly, “Hao, what’s going on between you and Xiao Lingyu? And why is she pregnant with your child?”

Gong Tianhao didn’t hide anything and said, “This matter started more than seven months ago. At that time, I had a business deal to discuss in City Z…”

Xiao Lingyu was drugged and accidentally barged into his room. After he came to Xing Yin County and accidentally encountered her a few times, he was moved. However, he didn’t make a move because she was someone his good brother was interested in. He only treated her as a normal friend. Then, he returned to the capital and heard from Jiang Tao that Xiao Lingyu was the woman from back then. Once he found out that the child was his, he immediately rushed back to Taoyuan Village.

Jiang Tao listened to Gong Tianhao’s story. He held the red wine and remained silent.

He didn’t expect that Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu would be so fated. He assumed Xiao Lingyu’s child had an unknown father, but that man was Gong Tianhao all along.

Most importantly, Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu seemed to be in love with each other.

In contrast, Xiao Lingyu didn’t like him. Plus, he was already someone else’s fiance. Perhaps he and Xiao Lingyu were not fated to be together.

In any case, he did not have the right to love Xiao Lingyu anymore.

Xiao Lingyu deserved happiness and a good man. In a way, he was thankful that the man was his good brother. He would wish them happiness.

Jiang Tao understood Gong Tianhao. Although he was rich and powerful, he was not like other men who were fickle in love. On the contrary, once he fell in love, he would be infatuated and loyal. He was the kind to go all-in for love. Gong Tianhao was with Xiao Lingyu now, so at least he didn’t need to worry anymore.

In the future, even if his grandfather found out something, he would not dare to touch Xiao Lingyu.

Jiang Tao sighed lightly and said, “Perhaps all of this is fate. I have no fate with Xiao Lingyu, but you do. The fate between you two is so deep.”

Gong Tianhao saw that Jiang Tao had started to put things down. He relaxed and said, “Yes, I didn’t expect to have such a deep fate with her either.”

Jiang Tao patted his shoulder and said, “Hao, congratulations. You’ll have both a beautiful wife and a beautiful child.”

Gong Tianhao smiled and said, “Tao Zi, how’s your progress with Qin Yan?”

Jiang Tao revealed a sarcastic smile. “Haha. What progress? I don’t even like Qin Yan. Getting engaged to her is just grandfather’s request and a despicable way for me to seize power.”

Gong Tianhao frowned and advised, “Tao Zi, relationships need to be cultivated and tempered. Since you plan to marry Qin Yan, you should cultivate your relationship with her.”

Jiang Tao shook his head and said, “Hao, I’ll tell you the truth. If it’s possible, I’d rather marry an ordinary girl than marry a hypocritical and vain woman like Qin Yan.”

Gong Tianhao, “…”

Jiang Tao smiled bitterly and said, “Previously, I got engaged to Qin Yan because I was afraid that grandfather would find out about Xiao Lingyu and hurt Xiao Lingyu. At the same time, I want the power of the Jiang family. At least, when the matter blows up, I can protect Xiao Lingyu and the Xiao Family.

“You know how domineering, stubborn, and ruthless grandfather is. Even if he knows that Xiao Lingyu doesn’t like me, as long as Xiao Lingyu’s existence affects me, he will definitely get rid of her.”

It was why Jiang Tao asked Gong Tianhao to take care of Xiao Lingyu when he decided to get engaged to Qin Yan. He was afraid that his grandfather would make a move to harm Xiao Lingyu. At this point, he looked at Gong Tianhao again and continued, “However, now that Xiao Lingyu is married to you, even if things blow up, grandfather will not be able to do anything.”

When Gong Tianhao heard this, he frowned again and stared at Jiang Tao sharply, “What do you mean?”

“I mean, I don’t need to force myself to marry Qin Yan anymore.” Jiang Tao smiled in relief, “I plan to go back and break off the engagement.”

Gong Tianhao’s pupils constricted.
