Chapter 37 (1/2)
”You dare! Old thing! You just try to touch Tian'er today! Unless you punish me together with the family law as well!” Old madam Ling hugged her grandson tightly and refused to budge, ”This child is mischievous and you can scold him however you wish. But if you want to use the family laws, you must step over my dead body first!”
Ling Tian could not help but stick out his lips secretly. s.h.i.+t just got real! Grandfather actually wants to punish me! It seems that things will not end so simply today. His eyeb.a.l.l.s began to roll all over but he just did not have an idea of what to do.
Xiao FengHan was extremely calm but his face was ashen. He stood up and said, ”Big brother, relax! If you want to teach this child a lesson, you should wait for this younger brother to leave first! This little brother is here today because I have an unreasonable request. I hope that big brother will agree to it.”
Everyone in the Ling family could feel that something was going wrong as Ling Zhan gave a dry cough, ”Younger brother, please speak. No matter what it is, this brother will agree to it!” He already had an idea of what Xiao FengHan's unreasonable request was. No wonder he gave an official notice of visit today!
Xiao FengHan then said calmly, ”Big brother, sister-in-law and I have known each other for 30 years! Big brother and sister-in-law are all extremely close to me and have even saved my life on multiple occasions. This little brother does not dare to forget about it! Every time I think about the days when the three of us roamed the continent together, I always felt that knowing the both of you has made my life to be without regrets! The things which I am about to say are unrelated to our brotherly ties. No matter what happens, I, Xiao FengHan will not treat the both of you any differently!”
Ling Zhan trembled as tears filled his eyes, ”FengHan, if you have an issue, you can just mention it. Your elder brother is still the head of the Ling family now! No matter what you say, even if you want my life, I will not frown even the slightest!”
Xiao FengHan then knelt down and kowtowed to Ling Zhan once before standing up. Everyone was stunned by the solemn atmosphere and did not stop him! They only heard as he said with a mellow voice, ”Five years ago, both of our families had a pre-planned marriage to bring our families closer. We agreed that if they were both males, they would become sworn brothers. If they were both females, they would become sisters. If one was male while the other female, they would be married! At that time, this old man had made the request and elder brother agreed without a second thought! Today, I mention this again because I will have to break this promise and apologize to elder brother and sister!”
As he said that, everyone present had already understood what he meant!
Ling Zhan let out a long sigh and he seemed to have aged a lot in that instant. The wrinkles on his face also seemed to have deepened as he stood there for a moment with his body trembling slightly. All of a sudden, everyone could sense a feeling of desolation emanating from that large body!
Ling Tian was filled with guilt in his heart as he thought to himself: I'm sorry! Grandfather, this grandson has made you sad. Although you will not be able to understand everything I do, it is all for the future of the Ling family! You will definitely be able to understand my intentions one day!
Xiao FengHan then continued, ”Ever since this little brother came into the capital, I have heard many rumors about how mischievous, incorrigible and domineering the young master of the Ling family is. This little brother thought that it was merely someone spreading false rumors. After all, just how mischievous can a five-year-old child be? But today, this old man witnessed with my very own eyes and feel that the words 'mischievous' and 'domineering' are not enough to describe this child!”
