Chapter 462: Help Me (1/2)
When this was brought up, He Xiaoqin's eyes widened as he pointed at Xiao Tang. ”You! You're!”
”See, see? And you still dared to say that you didn't know him?” Grandpa He slapped He Xiaoqin's arm, then laughed loudly, ”Haha, Xiao Tang, don't take offense! This kid's just joking!”
Xiao Tang laughed along. ”Haha, it's fine. There's no way I'd bicker with a kid.”
”You're the kid! What is with you? Why did you follow me here?” He Xiaoqin peeled off Grandpa He's hand and plopped himself down on a chair next to Xiao Tang. ”I'm telling you, that money was given with mutual consent. Give up on trying to take it back!”
”Don't worry. What belongs to you belongs to you.” Xiao Tang sat down as well, then looked towards Grandpa He. ”Grandpa He, you should sit too.”
”Alright, alright!” Grandpa He thought that the misunderstanding was cleared so he didn't worry about it anymore and sat down.
Xiao Tang then looked towards the guards and said, ”Go get some food. We'll be having lunch here.”
”Understood!”
After the guards left, He Xiaoqin toyed with the cup as he asked, ”You really want me to follow you?”
”Of course, this is your choice. You can decide whether you're willing or not.” Xiao Tang flipped open his fan confidently.
He Xiaoqin peeked towards Grandpa He who was looking at them curiously, then coughed. ”Give me some time to consider it.”
”Three days?”
”Just three days!?”
Grandpa He was baffled by their exchange and said, ”Xiao Tang ah! Don't be too easy on Xiaoqin. Just take him with you now.”
”No way! Grandpa!” He Xiaoqin immediately refused, but he was also worried that Grandpa He would get angry again and added, ”Grandpa, your illness hadn't flared up for a long time but it suddenly flared up again now. I have to find a doctor to take a look at you. I can only go with him without worries once I'm sure that you're fine!”
His words were logical, so Grandpa He hesitated for a little while before nodding and looking towards Xiao Tang.
”It just so happens that there are several famous doctors where I'm staying. I'll have them come here to take a look at you, Grandpa.”
”How, how could we accept this?”
”From now on, we're family, so there's no need to be polite, Grandpa.”
He Xiaoqin shouted, ”Who the hell's family with you?”
Grandpa He berated, ”Xiaoqin!”
Xiao Tang said, ”It's fine, it's fine. How about this? Grandpa, you should go rest first. I'll chat with Xiaoqin outside.”
”That works. You young people should talk amongst yourselves. This old body of mine really can't hold up. I'm going to go sleep first.” Grandpa He turned around to head back to his room to rest.
The moment he left, He Xiaoqin lifted one leg and stomped on the table as he whispered fiercely, ”Old lady, what exactly are you trying to do!?”
Xiao Tang, aka Tang Doudou, hit his leg with the fan. ”Manners, manners!”
”Eff the damned manners! If you don't talk, I won't be polite anymore! Don't think that just because you're a woman and pregnant that I don't dare to hit you. I'm telling you! I'm telling you…” He Xiaoqin waved his fist at Tang Doudou as he threatened her, but the more he spoke, the more his voice faded in confidence. Forget hitting a pregnant woman, he couldn't even bring himself to hit a woman!
The moment Grandpa He left, Tang Doudou returned to her usual personality. Her eyes whirled, then she reached out and squeezed He Xiaoqin's fist. The moment she sent some inner strength into her palm, He Xiaoqin started screaming like he was a pig being slaughtered. ”Ahh!!! It hurts, oe to find He Xiaoqin before when Grandpa He found him.
She had suspected He Xiaoqin of being Lan Jia's child, but Lan Jia would always kill the woman after she gave birth to the child. She couldn't help but wonder again if her guesses had been off when she found out about the existence of these parents.
”Hey, what are you scheming now?” When Tang Doudou didn't speak, He Xiaoqin stared at her warily in fear that she was trying to come up with another way to torment him.
Fudge, did she look that evil?
For better or for worse, she had helped this guy twice!
When she first came to this temple, it was with the plan to gain Grandpa He's trust. However, she had arrived just in time to see Grandpa He's illness flaring up and saved him. Hence, she adjusted her plan and slightly twisted the truth a little to get Grandpa He to trust her.
She had also helped He Xiaoqin get rid of that banker earlier… How could this brat have so little conscience?
”Brat, as long as you agree to one thing, I promise not to bother you again. How's that?” Tang Doudou saw that there was no point trying to skirt around the bush with He Xiaoqin, so she decided to just state her motive.
