Chapter 1480: Chapter 1252:
"I’m sorry, Jhiang Xuanyuan, I shouldn’t have said you bullied me, I was wrong, I’m sorry!"
Right now Gao Xinyue was so aggrieved she was falling apart. She hugged Wang Xiaohui’s leg and wailed, "Mom, let’s go home, Mom, Little Moonlight wants to go home, wuwuwu..."
Jiang Boya flung off Wang Xiaohui’s hand and said coldly, "You, apologize to my granddaughter!"
"Why should I?"
Rubbing the wrist that had been hurt by Jiang Boya’s grip, Wang Xiaohui glared at him. "My daughter has already apologized. Why should I, an adult, apologize to your daughter?"
"Because your daughter admitted she falsely accused my granddaughter; because you can’t tell right from wrong and also wronged my granddaughter; and because you laid hands on my granddaughter. Are those reasons enough?"
Jiang Boya’s tone sounded rather calm at this moment, but Elder Xi and Director Chen could see he was still furious. The reason no storm showed on the surface was simply that he didn’t want to scare the kids.
"If I don’t apologize, what can you do to me?"
Wang Xiaohui lifted her chin. "You didn’t even bother to find out what kind of background my Gao Family has, and you think you can make me apologize to some little brat? Keep daydreaming!"
"Fine, I’d really like to see just how powerful your Gao Family’s background is!" Jiang Boya let out a short laugh, picked Guoguo up, and turned his gaze to Director Chen. "I’ll take the child home first, if that’s alright?"
Director Chen didn’t answer immediately, only smiled and said, "Sir, although you say you’re the grandfather of the three children of Luo Mingting, and the three children do seem to know you, for the sake of their safety, our kindergarten still needs to contact their parents. Please wait a moment."
"Mm."
Jiang Boya nodded.
Director Chen left.
Elder Xi didn’t want Wang Xiaohui to blow things up too much. After all, he knew better than anyone what kind of background and status Jiang Boya had. Especially since after Jiang Boya made huge investments and opened factories in the Southern City, registering companies there, word had come last month that he was planning to inject capital into a major state-owned enterprise here in North City... In short, if Wang Xiaohui continued to make a senseless scene over today’s matter, there was no guarantee Jiang’s investment wouldn’t fall through.
This consequence was something that old fox Gao Huaian could not afford to bear!
In the end, even if he didn’t directly step down from his position, shedding a layer of skin would be the least of it!
With that in mind, when Elder Xi saw Wang Xiaohui pick up Gao Xinyue and prepare to leave, he stopped her and hinted obliquely, "If you don’t want to stay in the Gao Family anymore, by all means leave like this."
"Uncle Xi, I’m the daughter-in-law of the Gao Family, not of your Xi Family. I don’t need you meddling in my business, and I certainly don’t need you worrying about me here."
After Wang Xiaohui finished, she gave a cold snort, hugged her daughter tightly and left, without even saying goodbye to Teachers Su, Bai, and He.
"Grandpa, should I keep staying in kindergarten or go back with you?"
Xi Chenyu asked Elder Xi.
"What do you think?"
Elder Xi asked.
"Go home."
He basically didn’t need to learn the stuff in kindergarten at all. Plus, he already knew that Little Sister Guoguo and his little brothers Bun and Tangyuan had finished learning the first, second and third grade primary school textbooks, and would soon be done with the fourth grade too. Compared to them, he still hadn’t even learned half of the third-grade content. Rather than waste time in kindergarten, he might as well go home and catch up.
When he and his younger siblings were five, he wanted to skip grades with them straight into third grade of primary school.
Anyway, he had to work hard so he wouldn’t fall behind Little Sister Guoguo and his brothers Bun and Tangyuan in their studies.
...
Shuimu University.
"You’re back?!"
There was a sound from the yard, and Kang Li’s smiling voice drifted into the ears of Jiang Boya and the three buns. "Wash your hands and get ready to eat."
"Mom, Mom! Grandpa was amazing, he protected Guoguo so the bad auntie couldn’t hit her."
After washing her hands, Guoguo’s little short legs went "da-da-da" as she ran into the kitchen, and she babbled the whole story to Kang Li—how Gao Xinyue’s mom came looking for trouble, how this grandpa Jiang Boya, and Bun and Tangyuan and the classmates all protected her—recounting it in her milky little voice.
"Wow! Grandpa is really awesome!"
Setting the dishes onto the dining table, Kang Li’s expression was vivid as she turned to Jiang Boya and gave him a thumbs-up. "Dad, you’re the big hero of our family, you’re the best!"
"Grandpa is the big hero, the best!"
Imitating Kang Li, Guoguo also stuck out two thumbs and gave Jiang Boya a big thumbs-up.
This made Jiang Boya blush in spite of himself. He cleared his throat twice in embarrassment, sat down in a chair and said casually, "What’s so great about it? That kid’s mom even threw her weight around in front of me, bragging about how powerful their Gao Family is, how powerful her father-in-law is. She completely ignored what I said and still wouldn’t apologize to Guoguo!"
Heh! He wanted to see just how much clout the Gao Family really had, if they could really sweep what happened today under the rug!
Bun said, "Gao Xinyue’s mom is bullying others by relying on power. Mom, just you wait. When I grow up, I’ll definitely be able to protect our family so no one can bully us!" His eyes were firm, his little face serious as he spoke.
"Me too, Mom. My brother and I will both make something of ourselves, don’t worry. When we grow up, we’ll definitely protect every single person in our family from being oppressed by people with so-called ’backgrounds’!"
Thinking of what Gao Xinyue’s mom said, Tangyuan clenched his little fists, as if there were flames burning in his eyes.
Jiang Boya rubbed the tops of the two boys’ heads, his gaze indulgent and gratified. "Bun and Tangyuan are really amazing. But, Grandpa never said we were just going to let what happened today slide." Seeing the boys didn’t quite get it, Jiang Boya simply said it outright: "Just wait. In no more than a couple of days, that girl’s mom will come and apologize to our Guoguo in person."
The three high-IQ buns were, of course, a bit precocious. They could see that Wang Xiaohui held everyone in contempt and was very proud of the Gao Family background. Even though the Jiang Family was very rich, and their mom and dad were both extraordinary, their instincts told them that Wang Xiaohui’s arrogance was not just a matter of money.
So, there was still a lot they needed to learn. They had to study hard and broaden their knowledge in every area.
"Grandpa, Mom, Guoguo will also become super amazing. When the time comes, Guoguo will protect our family together with my brothers and big sister, and drive away all the big bad guys!"
Guoguo’s big eyes shone brilliantly. She also clenched her little fists and said with utter seriousness, "Guoguo is a clever little egg, I’ll definitely, definitely be super amazing in the future!"
Kang Li laughed and said, "Alright, Mom believes in our Guoguo!" Her gaze shifted to Bun and Tangyuan. "Mom believes in you two as well!"
She gave each of the three little ones a thumbs-up.
"Grandpa believes in you too!"
With a gentle expression, Jiang Boya felt immensely proud to have such cute and smart little grandchildren as the three buns.
After dinner, Kang Li and Jiang Boya each drove a car, taking the three buns back to the Jiang family old house. However, Kang Li didn’t stay long. She left the three buns with Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya, then drove back to the compound by herself.
Walking into the living room and seeing Cai Xiufen and Mrs. Qi sitting on the sofa chatting, but not seeing Captain Kang, she couldn’t help feeling puzzled.
"How come I don’t see my dad?"
"He went to check on your Big Brother Kang’s hotpot restaurant."
Big Brother Kang and Elder sister-in-law Kang’s hotpot restaurant had always been booming. They had already opened two branches in North City alone, both quite large. And according to Big Brother Kang’s ambition, he wanted to open hotpot restaurants in all major cities nationwide within five years.
Putting down her bag and sitting beside Cai Xiufen, Mrs. Qi asked, "Where are the buns?"
"My dad took them over to the old house."
Kang Li replied.
Cai Xiufen was puzzled. "Why didn’t you let the kids go to class this afternoon for no reason?"
