The plane circled over the capital. Xiao Ling had marked the location, so Gong Tianhao had his people carry out an investigation before returning to Taoyuan Village.
However, what Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu didn’t know was that their son, Xiao Letong, had already marked the culprit. He would have gone to kill that person if his parents weren’t on the plane. Then again, since he had marked the culprit, they wouldn’t be able to escape.
“I didn’t expect it to be so smooth!” Xiao Lingyu found it hard to believe after returning to the village. She felt more at ease after finding the culprit.
Gong Tianhao smoothed the hair on her forehead and said with a smile, “This means that Xiao Ling is very capable. Now that the location has been found, we’ll soon find out the culprit’s identity.”
At this point, Gong Tianhao paused for a moment before saying, “Yu ‘Er, I still need to return to the capital and direct the investigation!”
Xiao Lingyu said worriedly, “I’ll go with you. We don’t know what kind of backlash that person has suffered. Let’s return to the capital together and bring Xiao Ling along.”
Just as Gong Tianhao was about to say something, Gong Tianhao’s phone rang.
“Hello…”
Then, his expression changed, “Yes, I know.”
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Lingyu noticed the change in Gong Tianhao’s expression and asked in confusion, “Did something happen in the capital again?”
Gong Tianhao said, “When we departed on the helicopter, we were too high-profile, causing many tourists to post photos of our family of four on the Internet. Now, everyone in the capital is saying that I’m married and have children.
“The photos were posted from Taoyuan Village. If someone wants to investigate, they will soon find out about you and the children. This will put you and the children in a lot of danger.”
Xiao Lingyu heard this and frowned slightly. Then, she said seriously, “Tianhao, it’s fine. Let’s make it public!”
“Yes, Hao ‘Er, I also agree with Yu ‘Er!” Old Master Gong walked over. “Instead of hiding, it’s better to make it public and announce Yu ‘Er and Tong Tong’s identities. We can protect them openly and let those who want to attack have some misgivings.”
Gong Tianhao thought for a moment and said, “Alright, let’s make it public. I’ll tell everyone in the capital that you’re my wife and Tong Tong is the son of the Gong family!”
Xiao Lingyu said, “Okay.”
At this moment, Old Master Gong said, “Yu ‘Er, after your identity is made public, there might be people who will stir up trouble in your business. However, don’t worry. Hao ‘Er will definitely protect you well. Isn’t that right, Brat?”
Gong Tianhao really wanted to roll his eyes, but he still replied honestly, “Of course. It’s my duty. Yu ‘Er, don’t worry. With me around, no one will dare to attack you.”
Xiao Lingyu smiled and nodded. “Yes, I know! I know my husband will protect me.”
“Since it has already been exposed online, let’s return to the capital together,” Old Master Gong said decisively, “Bring your two children with you! You have been married for four years, and your children are already so old, but you haven’t even entered the Gong Family officially yet. I feel like I owe you a lot.”
Indeed. They had been married for four years, but Xiao Lingyu and Xiao Letong hadn’t even entered the Gong Family in the capital.
This time, the internet had accidentally exposed their relationship. If they didn’t do anything, people would say that Gong Tianhao was still playing with them. Otherwise, why wouldn’t he bring them home since the child was already so old?
Since they had been exposed, they would go along with it. The mistress of the Gong Family would soon greet the world officially.
Xiao Lingyu heard Old Master Gong and shook her head. “Grandfather, don’t say that. The Gong Family is where Tianhao is. As long as he has me in his heart, I’m satisfied.”
Old Master Gong nodded. “Yu ‘Er, you’re really sensible. The Gong Family is really fortunate to welcome such a beautiful, intelligent, capable, and reasonable daughter-in-law!”
“Grandfather, it’s also my fortune to be able to meet you, marry Tianhao, and marry into the gong family,” Xiao Lingyu said.
Old Master Gong immediately instructed, “Yu ‘Er, Tianhao and I will go back first today. Tomorrow, I’ll ask Tianhao to bring you and the child home!”
This would be a big event so he had to go back and make arrangements first. If people accidentally offend his granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson, he would be very angry.
“Alright!” Xiao Lingyu nodded.
Old Master Gong asked Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang to grab some fruits, vegetables, and health wines. After greeting the Xiao family, he went straight back to the capital.
When mother Xiao and the others knew that Xiao Lingyu and Tong Tong were entering the Gong Family, they were very happy and excited. They were not happy because the Gong family was rich, but this meant that Xiao Lingyu and her son wouldn’t be in danger when they were in the capital anymore. Old Master Gong said previously that he could only welcome Xiao Lingyu into the Gong Family when there was no danger. This meant that the danger had passed.
“Yu ‘Er, when you arrive at the Gong family, remember to serve the old master well and abide by the rules of the Gong family. You have to be kind to others. Of course, if someone bullies you too much, don’t be timid and soft-hearted. You have to fight back fiercely, understand?” Mother Xiao kept nagging. She was very concerned but also a little worried.
The capital was a thousand miles away from them, and they were unfamiliar with the place. Most importantly, the capital was the center of power for high officials and dignitaries. With Gong Tianhao’s status, he would definitely have to interact with these people. As Gong Tianhao’s wife, Xiao Lingyu had to do the same.
Hence, she had to pay special attention to her words and actions.
Although Mother Xiao and Father Xiao were from the countryside, they had learned about the pitfalls of the wealthy from observing the Gong Family.
The Xiao family were all kind-hearted, but they were not weak.
“A big place like the capital is different from a small place like ours. You need to be careful…” The Xiao Family laid on the advice. They were all concerned about Xiao Lingyu and Xiao Letong.
“Okay, I got it. I’ll be careful,” Xiao Lingyu replied one by one.
“I’ll go pack some things for you. I made some snacks too. When you’re there, you can eat them. And…”
“…” Xiao Lingyu had to stop her mother, “Mom, if you continue to stuff me with these things, even ten helicopters wouldn’t fit them.”
“Nonsense! Who knows when you will be coming back. These things are Tianhao, the in-law and Tong Tong’s favorite. You have to bring them!”
Xiao Lingyu, “…” So none is for me?
Xiao Lingyu said, “Mom, Tong Tong and I are merely going through the ceremony this time. We will be back soon. Trust me.” There were still dangerous people in the capital. They definitely could not let Tong Tong stay for long. Who knew how crazy the culprit was? Therefore, Tong Tong would be sent back immediately after the ceremony.
Mother Xiao was confused, “Are you not going to stay there for long? Why?”
Xiao Lingyu took out her phone, flipped through it a few times, and showed it to mother Xiao and the others. She said somewhat helplessly, “Our family’s relationship was exposed on the internet. According to grandfather’s opinion, since it was exposed, we should go back openly so as to prevent bad rumors from spreading. Or else it’ll ruin both Tong Tong and Tianhao’s names. After the ceremony is done, we’ll return to the village. Grandpa and Tianhao have already gone back to make preparations.”
“Oh!” The Xiao family suddenly realized.
“Now we have our own plane and can fly back and forth at any time. The travel time isn’t long. Just two hours or so. It’s very convenient,” Xiao Lingyu said. “You don’t have to worry about anything.”
“Regardless, we have to prepare all these things so that people will not look down on you.” Mother Xiao insisted.
Xiao Lingyu, “…”
