On the sofa in the living room, Xiao Zhendong sat facing the door, his back straight, his two hands folded holding the leading end of the walking stick, the short white inches that made people's hearts inexplicably sour.

Su Mo walked over, she did not dare to look directly into Xiao Zhendong's eyes and stood in front of him with her head lowered, "Grandpa." She couldn't even say extra words.

When he just heard the footsteps, Xiao Zhendong did not did not look up until she stood in front of him.

Her footsteps were lighter than when she was at the Xiao mansion, she seemed to have lost weight, her chin was pointed, her eyes appeared to be bigger, and her face seemed to be in bad shape.

Unlike the celebrity millennials he'd seen, or the scandalous subjects of Xiao Nan Night's newspapers, she always dressed plainly, with loose-fitting housecoats and a pair of flip-flops.

Gazing slowly downward, when he saw the flat belly under the clothes, Xiao Zhendong's heart stung, "How dare you guys lie to me with this kind of thing!"

Xiao Zhendong stomped the cane in his hand fiercely, and at that moment, Su Mo saw that his sharp eyes, which had gone through many vicissitudes of life, were covered with blood.

Su Mo lowered her head in shame, but could only say, "Grandpa, I'm sorry!"

I'm really sorry to disappoint you!

Xiao Zhendong looked at Su Mo, it was a hot day, but she was wearing a long coat and long pants, she didn't understand that the more she tried to cover up, the more she would be discovered.

Thinking about the news he read in the newspaper this morning, Xiao Zhendong's heart ached for a moment, and his heartbeat had a momentary disorder and arrhythmia.

He didn't move, took a breath, adjusted his breathing, looked at this eldest grandson's daughter-in-law whom he recognized and said, "Do you know where you're wrong?"

Only then did Su Mo look up at him and said with red eyes, "I know, Grandpa, I shouldn't have lied to you about having a child, I really know I was wrong."

Xiao Zhendong, however, shook his head and said, "You don't even know where you're wrong!"

"Grandpa ......," Su Mo hung her head aggrieved, she had clearly recognized her mistake.

And when it came to the child, it was all Xiao Nan Night's own doing, she was an accessory at best, and now that the main culprit had run away, all the blame was put on her alone.

Xiao Zhendong believed in his eye for people, Su Mo was a good boy who was well-behaved and understanding, this he was sure of.

He was angry, not because of the deception, but because of the way she treated the whole thing, she didn't even consider herself a member of the Xiao family.

The Xiao family, what kind of family is that?

The grandson-in-law of the Xiao family, who represents the Xiao family outside, how could she be so unaware of avoidance and actually go in and out of public with another man?

"Take a look for yourself." Xiao Zhendong pointed to the newspaper on the coffee table, which he had taken from home, "Read it and then tell me where exactly you went wrong."

Why did Grandpa let me read the newspaper?

Su Mo was a bit puzzled, and under Chen Bo's worried gaze, she walked over and picked up the newspaper, and once she unfolded it, she saw the front page headline on the front page.

Home page, a line of eye-catching headline: advertising new favorite private meeting mysterious boyfriend, hotel intimate together hard to part.

There were also two distant photos below, one of Lin Jin Yao holding her in a cafe, and the other outside the hotel.

Because of the shooting angle, the picture looked ambiguous, and even though it was a little blurry under the light, you could still tell it was Su Mo.

After M Jewelry was listed, in less than a year, it had already made a name for itself, and Su Mo, the spokesperson of M Jewelry, naturally paid less attention to it.

Not to mention she had another identity, the mysterious girlfriend of the president of Ling An Group.

Seemingly afraid that others would not know the identity of the scandalous protagonist, next to the photo, a certain media outlet also intentionally cut a photo from the publicity photo as a comparison.

The headline is so ridiculous and the content is even worse, it's simply catch-all nonsense.

After reading the entire article, Su Mo's entire body was bad, and her already bloodless face turned even whiter.

"That's not true."

Su Mo explained to Xiao Zhendong with red eyes, "Grandpa, what is said here is not true, I haven't done anything to wrong Xiao Nan Night, Grandpa you have to believe me."

Xiao Zhendong looked at her and shook his head in disappointment, "Xiao Su ah! You still don't know where you went wrong until now, you really disappoint me."

Su Mo had wanted to explain those two photos, but swept by that disappointed look, her heart had already cooled halfway, and she opened her mouth to explain, but realized she didn't know what to say?

Xiao Zhendong looked at her coldly, as if he had come over today just to say this.

Disappointed!

Compared to Su Mo's silence, Xiao Zhendong's mood was complicated.

This girl was still too young, although she was very understanding, she was actually a stubborn child, from her, it was as if he saw the Ling An An of that year.

What happened back then has always been a piece of Xiao Zhendong's mind, and after so many years, he still can't forget it.

This time, even if he spared Xiao Nanyang disowning him as his grandfather, he must not let such a thing repeat itself in the Xiao family.

Xiao Zhendong looked at the girl in front of him, "When you entered, it was the Xiao family that treated you poorly."

He deserves to be the one who married Xiao Nan night in the beginning, and Su Mo shook her head and did not say anything.

In fact, what happened back then, in the end, is just a transaction, is between her and Xiao Nan night each get what they need only, and talk about who treats who poorly?

Seeing her like this all the time, Xiao Zhendong was both relieved and worried, even such a desireless nature was like Ling Anan, it was no wonder that Xiao Nan Night liked her so much.

And that's what makes it all the more worrying.

Xiao Zhendong seemed to sigh and said, ''There are some things that grandpa thought you would understand without saying them.

Sue!

Did you tell Grandpa that I was wrong about the man?"

Su Mo's nose flared up when she heard this, sniffling, she said, "Grandpa, don't be angry, it's me who did wrong."

This was the opposite of Ling An An, that woman was never soft.

She could bluff her way in and out of a snake on TV, but when it came to him, she couldn't even pretend to be submissive, let alone voluntarily admit she was wrong.

In Xiao Zhendong's opinion, a woman's family should be well-behaved and be at home to raise her children, how can she be out there all day long and show off her face?

Su Mo is different from the Ling An An of that year.

Xiao Zhendong was looking at Su Mo for this point, that's why he personally came over today to say these words to her, he wanted to give her another chance.

Su Mo looked at Xiao Zhendong with some worry and said, "Grandpa, just forgive me this time! I won't dare next time."

It seemed like he was waiting for her to say this, looking at her face full of sincerity, Xiao Zhendong nodded and said, "It's not impossible for me to forgive you."

Hearing this, Su Mo's two eyes lit up.

Unfortunately, before she could be happy, she heard Xiao Zhendong say, "Go and quit your job right away, then move back to the Xiao family with me, so that you can also learn from your second aunt how to be a good daughter-in-law of the Xiao family."

After Xiao Zhendong finished speaking, he didn't even worry that Su Mo would refuse, for a person who needed to be forgiven, this was already what he could give, the greatest forgiveness.

Obviously, Xiao Zhendong had thought things a little too simply, because Su Mo's first reaction when she heard this was to reject it.

Regardless of whether the Xiao family's lintel could accommodate a granddaughter-in-law like her who couldn't rise to the occasion, let's just say that she still needed time to think clearly about what was going on between her and Xiao Nan Night.

So when Xiao Zhendong finished speaking, Su Mo shook her head and said, "I'm sorry grandpa, I can't promise you."

Unwilling to listen to his words, unwilling to resign and go back to Xiao mansion with him, no extra explanation, she always only has that one sentence, sorry, can't promise.

In that instant, Xiao Zhendong suddenly felt ridiculous, how could he have looked away and thought that this was a docile lamb?

From the moment Su Mo said the words of refusal, Xiao Zhendong's eyes changed as he looked at her, it was a shift from anticipation to disappointment, just a split second, but it was the difference between heaven and earth.

He quietly looked at Su Mo for an instant, then suddenly stood up, his body couldn't help but sway a little because he was so angry.

"Grandpa!"

Su Mo worriedly tried to reach out to help, but he avoided it, fortunately, Chen Bo arrived in time.

Uncle Chen supported Xiao Zhendong and looked at him with some concern, "Master, don't get angry first, why don't you listen to the great young grandma's explanation first, maybe she has some kind of hardship."

Su Mo looked at Uncle Chen gratefully and was about to explain to him about the Su family when she heard Xiao Zhendong's icy voice say, "Don't call her a great young grandma in the future, our Xiao family doesn't have such a granddaughter-in-law."

Grandpa said that, was he actually going to expel her from the Xiao family in a fit of rage?

Even though she had never been a member of the Xiao family, when she heard those words, the pain in her heart was stronger than any other time in the past.

She admitted that she wasn't ready to spend her life with Xiao Nanyang, but during those days in the Xiao mansion, she truly treated Xiao Nanyang's relatives as her own.

She had long ago come to think of him as her grandfather, but now he was trying to drive her away.

Looking at Xiao Zhendong's hunchbacked back, Su Mo's eyes reddened as she chased after him, stopping the car door and saying, "Grandpa, are you really going to drive me away?"

Xiao Zhendong sat in the backseat and looked at Su Mo, seeing her tears flowing as fast as she did, his heart was also a little intolerant, but some things are the bottom line and must not be tolerated.

Seeing Xiao Zhendong turn his head and not look at her, Su Mo cried even more fiercely and said, "Grandpa, I don't want to make you angry, if I did anything wrong I'll change, don't be angry with me, okay?"

And Xiao Zhendong's reaction was to open his eyes and look at the driver in front of him, calmly speaking, "Drive."

In the face of such a cold response from Xiao Zhendong, Su Mo was really sad, and Uncle Chen could feel the sadness spreading from her body as he stood beside her.

However, after following Xiao Zhendong for so many years, no one knew the old master's temperament better than he did, and once he made a decision, he would never be able to change his mind easily.

Looking at the person who was still crying, Chen Bo sighed and comforted her, "Miss Su, Master is still angry at this moment, you'd better go back first!"
