Chapter 2205: Determined to Wither
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Even though he had never met his granddaughter Wu Lingyun, Grandpa Xiao still felt like her voice was very warm, pleasant, and touching.
He imagined that her hair would be soft, just like his wife’s, and just like all the other members of the Xiao family.
Elder Xiao wiped his tears and nodded at the phone.
“Good, good. Little girl, don’t cry. Grandpa isn’t crying anymore, so be good and don’t cry too! Grandpa will wait for you to come back, okay?”
“Okay, okay!” Wu Lingyun nodded in agreement.
The Wu family’s banquet went very smoothly. With Chi Yang, Li Heyi, Nangong Nuannuan, and Xiao Yuqi there, many guests predicted that the Wu family was about to rise to a higher status.
As for Wu Lingyun, the pearl that was left among the crowd, thanks to Xiao Yuqi’s intentional or unintentional interference, almost all the young masters of the wealthy families in Sea District knew that the Wu family’s amazing daughter had found a more amazing young master from one of the top wealthy families in Emperor District to be her fiance, so they all gave up the idea of stepping in and poaching her from him.
In the evening, the whole Wu family flew to Emperor District on a private plane.
Nangong Nuannuan and Chi Yang had the evidence, so they went with them. They also brought Guo Langming and the others to Emperor District.
Grandpa Xiao knew that his granddaughter was coming back. His lost pearl was finally going to be returned to the Xiao family, so he called everyone in the Xiao family together.
However…
The Xiao family was determined to wither and turn against each other. The only person that ended up coming was Xiao Shenbin.
Elder Xiao had four children. His eldest son, Xiao Chengjie, his second son, Xiao Chengan, his third daughter, Xiao Yuqi, and his fourth daughter, Xiao Yushan.
The eldest son was Elder Xiao’s favorite child, and also Elder Xiao’s most high-achieving child. Xiao Chengjie had two sons. The eldest was named Xiao Shenbin, and the youngest, Xiao Shenran. The three of them were once high-ranking officers of the Eagle Special Forces.
Unfortunately, Xiao Chengjie and Xiao Shenran died in a not-so-large arrest battle, while Xiao Shenbin was injured.
So many people passed, which made Elder Xiao look like he had aged more than ten years in an instant. His hair turned white overnight.
In the end, Xiao Shenbin survived but had to be discharged from the army. This was probably the most comforting thing Elder Xiao had experienced for a while. Even though he would not be able to continue contributing to the country, he really could not bear the pain of losing his grandson.
The Xiao family had to at least leave a descendant for the next generation!
The Xiao family’s second son, Xiao Chengan, was unable to support himself and his family. They all relied on their elders to survive.
The third daughter, Xiao Yuqi, was highly valued by Elder Xiao, especially since her husband was Li Heyi. However, no matter how much he valued her, Xiao Yuqi was only an adopted child and had no blood relationship with the Xiao family. Everyone in the Xiao family knew this.
The fourth daughter, Xiao Yushan, was basically dead to Elder Xiao.
Back then, when Xiao Yushan took a fancy to Ning Haoyu of the Ning family, he did not agree to it. Grandpa Xiao knew that Ning Haoyu had a girlfriend he loved, and he did not want his daughter to be a homewrecker.
He did not know what Xiao Yushan did to push Ning Haoyu’s girlfriend away. The head of the Ning family, Ning Zhennan, happily allowed to marry into the family.
Even though he liked Ning Haoyu, and Ning Haoyu was good friends with his eldest son, Xiao Chengjie, and Chi Yang’s father, Chi Zehao, he also knew that ever since Ning Haoyu married his daughter, he could not give him more than the most customary respect. Ever since Ning Haoyu married Xiao Yushan, every year during the spring festival, Ning Haoyu spent his time in the special forces.
