Chapter 1489: Chapter 1255
With her lips pursed, Gao Xinyue really wanted to cry, but she forced herself to hold back, nodding her little head, "Luo Mingxi... I won’t do it again!"
"You better keep your word, or you’ll turn into a little puppy."
Guoguo blinked her big eyes, staring unblinkingly at Gao Xinyue.
"Mm."
Gao Xinyue nodded her head once more.
"Great-grandpa, grandpa, Guoguo forgives Gao Xinyue and her mom; should we give them a chance to correct their mistakes, okay?" Her gaze shifted to Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya, and Guoguo raised her soft, sweet voice.
Jiang Hongfa nodded, his smile exceptionally loving, "Alright, great-grandpa listens to our Guoguo."
"Grandpa listens to Guoguo, too."
Jiang Boya smiled warmly and lifted Guoguo into his arms, then shifted his gaze to Old Master Gao, "Let this matter rest as it is, but I’d like to say a word or two: If you have the time, I hope you’ll manage the younger generation in your family better. Otherwise, if similar things happen again, I fear you won’t encounter someone as accommodating as me."
With a faint glance at Wang Xiaohui, Jiang Boya continued, "Moreover, having power and influence is good, but it doesn’t mean one can act recklessly outside relying on family background and the elder’s reputation. I’ve said my piece; if you find it reasonable, listen to it. Otherwise, pretend I haven’t spoken today."
"I’ve learned a lesson." Old Master Gao acknowledged the truth in Jiang Boya’s words but couldn’t help the flush of his face, saying, "From now on, I’ll strictly demand more from my family."
Jiang Boya pursed his lips, then said after a moment, "If there’s nothing else, let’s sit down together for lunch." This was purely polite, and how could Old Master Gao and the others not sense it?
Therefore, Old Master Gao waved his hand, "No need, I have a meeting to attend and must return to my post quickly." Responding to courtesy with acceptance would be considered indiscreet.
"In that case, I won’t keep Comrade Gao any longer."
Jiang Boya’s expression was indifferent, holding Guoguo as he escorted Old Master Gao and his group to the living room door, then had the butler see them to the main entrance.
It’s Tuesday today, and supposedly, Guoguo and Bun Tangyuan should be at kindergarten. Unexpectedly, because Guoguo caught a chill last night, she had a slight fever this morning. Therefore, Jiang Boya only sent Bun Tangyuan to kindergarten, giving Guoguo a day off.
Speaking of this, Jiang Boya, missing the trio of Bun, took on the task of picking them up and dropping them off at kindergarten recently. Naturally, the trio has been staying at the Jiang family old house since Saturday afternoon.
As for Kang Li, he did visit the old house for over an hour of idle chat with Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya on Sunday, before driving back to the compound. Later, on Monday morning, that is early yesterday morning, he drove straight to Shuimu University.
After all, he had a class to teach at noon, and Kang Li wouldn’t slack off at work.
"That’s the end of it?"
With Guoguo taken back to her room by Aunt Fu to rest, now only Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya, the father and son, were left in the vast living room. Glancing at the gifts brought by the Gao family, Jiang Hongfa’s eyes, devoid of much emotion, fell on Jiang Boya.
"Can’t you stop asking questions you already know the answers to?!"
Jiang Boya pinched his brow and said, "Regardless of the fact they specifically came to apologize, just because Comrade Gao made an appearance, we need to give them some respect. Moreover, whether Comrade Gao’s apology was sincere or a mandatory formality, I don’t believe you couldn’t tell. Besides, if matters don’t conclude this way, should we really cancel our investment?"
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Jiang Boya leaned lazily against the sofa, "If you’re certain about that decision, I have no objections."
Jiang Hongfa was momentarily speechless, before saying after a long pause, "Fine, ending it like this is good." Canceling the investment wasn’t an option; despite spending many years abroad, this is still his homeland, and the country’s development requires the Jiang family’s contribution. He’s naturally going to contribute!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Boya curved his lips slightly, "But don’t worry, Gao Xinyue’s family will transfer her from the kindergarten at the latest by this Saturday."
Yesterday, Gao Xinyue didn’t attend kindergarten because Wang Xiaohui excused her daughter’s illness to request a day off from Teacher Su. Today, once Old Master Gao returns, he will most likely order the family to transfer his granddaughter to another kindergarten, to avoid further conflicts between Gao Xinyue and Xi Chenyu.
Jiang Hongfa: "Are you sure about that?"
"Have you forgotten what Uncle Xi said?" Without waiting for the older man to reply, Jiang Boya continued, "The reason the Gao family’s little girl constantly clashed with our Guoguo is simple: Uncle Xi’s Little Yu only wants to play with Guoguo, and not with her. The Gao family doesn’t want their little girl to cause trouble repeatedly, nor do they wish to completely offend Uncle Xi, so they will certainly transfer her out."
