Chapter 197 The Way of Hospitality
Su Chang wanted to talk to him, which Tong Tong had expected. He had made up for a night in the hospital. When he opened his eyes the next day, he saw a text message from his grandfather. There were two in total, one with the address and the other saying, "I only have time in the morning."
Geng Xiaoqing was restless and worried that they would call the police again, but she had no reason to obstruct her boyfriend. Tong Tong washed up briefly and went to her grandfather's house according to the address on the text message. Su Changhe's home was far from magnificent, with the overall color gray, which fits his cold temperament. He looked quite high-end, but it was too cold.
Tong Tong sat on the sofa waiting for him, shivered for several times, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he got up to do it. The nanny made tea for him and said resentfully: "Without Mr. Su's instructions, I dare not turn on the air conditioner."
"Well...then you really have worked hard, it's so cold."
The nanny smiled and started to leave. Tong Tong was very puzzled. Could it be that my grandfather is really a slave to the wealth? His property may be hundreds of millions. In early winter, I can't even let the air conditioner turn on?
"Hey, boy, is it cold?"
Su Changhe talked to him on the second floor. Tong Tong nodded truthfully: "Leng."
"It's right to be cold. As long as you're cold, you won't be sleepy. No matter what you do, you can concentrate highly."
"...so? In the next few days, will you still move your office outside?"
...It's really not like a joke.
Su Changhe walked down the stairs with a cold face and said, "Hmph, this kind of smooth-mouthed look is very much like your father."
"Then there is no way, who made me his son?"
Su Changhe signaled him to sit down and said, "In a superior environment, don't forget to temper yourself; but when you have the conditions to enjoy convenience and comfort, you have to ask for trouble, and no one will stop you."
"Okay, it's your own choice anyway, so you can make sense no matter how you say it."
Su Changhe did not argue with him anymore and asked him how his injuries were. After all, his face was covered in blood last night. Today he came, and two band-aids were placed on his forehead. Tong Tong didn't care at all. He said that when he was a student, his head had been smashed several times. The hardest part of a tree was the place where he had been injured. He had scars on his head several times and had become very hard.
"Even so, you don't have any wounds in your hair? Don't you have to shave your hair off? This is easy to get infected, right?"
When Tong heard this, he laughed: "Thank you, grandpa, I don't seem so cute. Don't worry about it, it will grow in a few days."
"The growing environment has been difficult, and it has tempered your tenacious character."
"Then do I want to thank you?"
Tong Tong replied every word, Su Changhe was so uncomfortable. He took a sip of tea and asked, "Where did you hear about the things you lost?"
"...If I told you, would you go to silence me?"
Su Changhe put the teacup heavily on the coffee table, and his face became gloomy. Tong Tong was startled and couldn't help but sit more properly. But he did not take Su Changhe's anger too seriously, and quickly said: "Maybe, you regret it now. You should have killed me or thrown it into the sea, and you will never have so many troubles now."
Su Changhe was so angry that he couldn't get angry. Even if he yelled, it wasn't surprising, but he gasped for a long time before he said powerlessly: "If I really killed you, then I would become a rude villain. I will never forgive myself in my life."
It seems that this sentence is his true feelings, and Tong Tong has not yet responded to him.
"Your uncle was indeed spoiled by me, I admit this. He wanted to get rid of you at that time because I wanted to keep you by my side - the Su family has no successor, and your uncle is so virtuous, I have to consider the issue of successor. Although you are bleeding from the Shu family, you are young and don't know anything. You will definitely be closer to me when you grow up with me. I thought so at that time, but your mother didn't agree, and I didn't make up my mind to train you to be the successor. Even so, your uncle was still scared. He was worried that his property would be taken away by you and abandoned by me, so he lost you."
Tong Tong sneered: "But just a few days ago, you told me that I was lost, it was a complete accident."
"On Children's Day in 1995, I really wanted you to attend the banquet. Your uncle volunteered to pick you up, and I was very uneasy. But I was so busy at that time that I asked the nanny at home to follow him and let him take you directly to me. Your uncle was unwilling to accept it, but he did bring you here. I wanted to introduce you to others and show my attitude towards you. You are known to everyone. If you are known to everyone, I will raise you in the future, and your mother will not say anything more. That day, I told the nanny to take care of you. Who knew that she would not find you when she went to the bathroom. So for me, it was indeed an accident that you lost."
Speaking of this, Su Changhe slowly closed his eyes, as if this experience was quite painful for him. However, Tong Tong still didn't believe it. He smiled and said, "But you know where I went, and you haven't brought me back in the future!"
"What if I take you back, what will your uncle do? According to your mother's temperament, she will not give up if she doesn't send your uncle to prison."
"..." Tong Tong nodded constantly: "Okay, anyway, in your mind, even if your son causes a huge disaster, you still have to protect him. Since that's the case, why are you worried about successors? Just let him inherit it directly! Anyway, you don't care what he is like."
"The more important reason is that my thoughts have also changed. I have thought a lot, your father has other relatives. Once the matter of raising you spreads, they will sooner or later know your existence. If they secretly find you and provoke our relationship, and you stand on their side without saying a word, then my efforts for so many years will be in vain."
This sounded reasonable, but Tong Tong still found it very strange - it seemed that Su Changhe had thought about how to deal with any doubts he had raised. It was like... he had previewed those questions countless times in his mind.
Tong Tong rubbed his fingers and thought about how to deal with it. He didn't know what the purpose of Su Changhe called him over. In order to explain what happened that year, or to seek credit from him? Because Tong Tong had caused a big disaster, if it weren't for his grandfather, he would have really been imprisoned.
Thinking of this, he leaned tiredly on the backrest of the sofa and said, "My uncle is guilty, you are not innocent either, you are his accomplice."
"In this life, people always make many mistakes, and some mistakes are unforgivable. Tong Tong, throwing you in the Three Villages of Happiness is the biggest mistake in my life. I apologize to you, I'm sorry."
...
He knew that his sins were unforgivable, but when he heard these words, tears surged up like crazy.
In order not to let him notice, Tong Tong turned his face to the side without saying a word. Su Changhe continued, "I am old and can't live for a few years. I have been working hard for most of my life, and in the end I am alone. Especially after I get sick, I often reflect on myself. Who will be by my side when I leave? Your uncle will accompany me, but at that time, he must be thinking about how much of my inheritance can be. Maybe, in order to make me die sooner, he will come up with all kinds of secret tricks."
...
This old man really speculated on his son with the greatest malicious intention! Tong Tong understood what he meant. Su Changhe wanted to win over his grandson and let Su Zilong restrain himself.
However, Tong Tong always remembered what Wu Hailan said and did not rush to express his opinion. He still pointed his finger and said, "You know how miserable I lived in the Three Villages of Happiness. It would be fine if I was bullied, but I was beaten countless times. I don't want to recall it. I can't afford the tuition, and when I don't have money to eat, where are you? If you have a little human touch, would you... at least give me some money? So that I won't be driven home by the teacher? I won't be hungry and unable to sleep?"
Tong Tong blinked his eyes, his eyelashes were wet with tears. Hearing these words, Su Changhe did not express his opinion. After a while, he said, "I'm sorry for you."
"Dong", Tong Tong smashed the glass into the wall casually, and the glass slag splashed everywhere. Su Changhe was shocked by him.
"When my grandmother adopted me, I didn't eat or drink, so she went to the street and spent a few cents to buy a balloon or an elastic ball to attract my attention and let me approach her step by step. At night, she hugged me and slapped me constantly, sang to me. It took a long time to accept her. She was so kind and took so much effort to win my favor. Where are you?" Tong Tong stood up and said angrily: "I'm sorry, it's not just talking with her mouth. Grandpa, you have lived to be over 70 years old, and there are some reasons why you should be
Should I teach you? You admit that I am your family now, but how do you cultivate love between family members? To put it bluntly, love is money. The more you spend on me, the more obvious I feel it; if you don’t have money, then you spend enough energy and time on me, and I am also very grateful. But what have you given me? Apart from the verbal 'sorry', what else have you done? You saved my life last night, and I am very grateful. But if you want me to admit you, you are still far from it."
Now Su Changhe finally showed a little panicked look, as if saying - it turns out that this child is really hard to deal with.
Tong Tong was about to get up and say goodbye. He said, the room was so cold. "Grandpa, you invited me, but I felt very uncomfortable. This shows that you, the master, did not do enough."
Su Changhe's mouth twitched twice, and Wu Hailan didn't say anything, all the words Wu Hailan said were said. It seemed that this was the first time that someone had pointed out the shortcomings directly. Su Changhe's mood was very delicate.
He called the nanny first and asked her to turn on the air conditioner. Then, he asked Tong Tong: "Then tell me, what do you want?"
