Leng Piaoxue held the tablet and saw the carefully designed plans she had prepared collapse.
“Useless things!” Leng Piaoxue cursed in a low voice.
Then, she suddenly thought of something. Her round eyes widened, and a hint of surprise and unease appeared in her beautiful eyes.
How did Gong Tianhao know about the letter?
Could it be that Bai Shixing had told him?
No, her people had been watching the Bai family. He had no chance to tell Gong Tianhao about the letter. Plus, she was invisible when she sent the letter, so no one would know.
Plus, Bai Shixing looked so shocked when Gong Tianhao mentioned the letter, so Bai Shixing didn’t tell anyone about the letter. However, Gong Tianhao was powerful. It wasn’t surprising that he was able to find out about the letter.
Leng Piaoxue tried to calm herself down.
Leng Piaoxue continued to watch the livestream on her tablet.
Gong Jianjun was another paper tiger. In the past, he could bully Gong Tianhao only because of the brotherly relationship between his father and Old Master Gong.
However, the second branch had no idea that they had already exhausted all the goodwill they had over the years. They had been plotting to take over the entire Gong Family.
Now, Gong Tianhao’s patience had run out.
In the past, he did not wipe out the second branch because he was worried that it’d break his grandfather’s heart. Gong Tianhao heard from his grandfather that he was very close to his brother when they were young. Once Old Master Gong had been bitten by a poisonous snake and it was the second master who decisively sucked out the poisonous blood. If not, Old Master Gong would be dead already.
Hence, after Old Master Gong rose to power, he brought his brother’s family to the top with him.
However, people’s hearts would change.
After the second branch had a taste of the good life, they wanted more power and wealth. They wanted to take over the main branch.
There was a limit to a person’s patience.
In the past, the main branch of the Gong family only had Old Master Gong and Gong Tianhao. They relied on each other and tolerated the second branch.
However, things changed.
The grandfather and grandson had people they needed to protect now. They wouldn’t allow anyone to destroy their family. After all, it was not easy for them to build a warm and happy family.
Gong Tianhao looked at the pale-faced Gong Jianjun, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He said sarcastically, “Uncle, which of the things you’ve done should be forgiven? Assassination? Framing? Or scheming?”
Gong Jianjun’s pupils constricted as he took a few steps back, fear and terror appearing on his face.
He opened his mouth and stuttered, “Tian… Tianhao… no… No…”
“No what?” At this moment, Old Master Gong leaned on his walking stick and shouted fiercely with a stern expression, “Did you not try to assassinate my grandson when he was three? Did you not try to frame him behind the scene when he founded his company? Did you not try to scheme to seize the Gong Family’s business when my grandson was unconscious?”
“Big… Uncle!” Gong Jianjun cried out in fear.
However, Old Master Gong snorted coldly and said, “Hmph, don’t call me uncle. Go back and tell Gong Qi that from today onwards, the good days of the second branch of the Gong family will come to an end. I will personally take back everything I gave you!”
“No!” Gong Jianjun cried out in fear and pleading, “Uncle, Tianhao, we were wrong. We won’t dare to do it again in the future. Please forgive us for the first time!”
If Gong Tianhao and Gong Zhen really wanted to take back everything, what life would they leave? They would have to return to the countryside to continue farming.
He… He didn’t want to go back to farming. Farming was tiring and his life would be so difficult.
Gong Tianhao sneered, “Uncle, do you think this is the first time we have forgiven you?”
“…” Gong Jianjun continued to say with a pale face, “No, Tianhao, we won’t dare to plot against you anymore. We won’t dare to do it again. We know we were wrong! Considering my father has once saved uncle’s life, can you forgive us?”
After saying that, Gong Jianjun was about to kneel down to Gong Tianhao, but Xiao Lingyu immediately pulled Gong Tianhao away.
No matter what, Gong Jianjun was Gong Tianhao’s senior. It would not look good for Gong Jianjun to kneel to him. It would not be good for Gong Tianhao’s reputation.
Clearly, Gong Jianjun had planned this. At the end of the day, the two families were connected by blood. If the Gong family really went after the second branch, they would be criticized as heartless, especially since everyone in the capital knew that Gong Qi had once saved Gong Zhen’s life.
In other words, without Gong Qi, the Gong Family wouldn’t be standing until this day. Therefore, it was reasonable for Gong Zhen to spoil the second branch.
The second branch had been using this life-saving favor to lord over the main branch, and everyone knew about it.
Old Master Gong’s face instantly darkened as he sternly shouted, “Gong Jianjun, stop lording that over me. I’ve given the second branch more than enough for that life-saving favor.
“Yes, your father has once saved my life. However, if it weren’t for me, your family would still be farming in the countryside. If it weren’t for that life-saving grace and that kinship, I wouldn’t have let you off after you tried to assassinate my grandson time and time again. However, this only encouraged you to become more and more brazen!”
Gong Jianjun’s expression changed as he opened his mouth to refute, but he didn’t know how to do so.
“You are still trying to seize my family’s property and take our lives. Gong Jianjun, how can I forgive you?” Old Master Gong felt really sad. Old Master Gong had always valued family ties, but the other party had been plotting to kill them.
After so many years, Old Master Gong had paid back everything he had owed Gong Qi.
Gong Tianhao then said, “Since second grandfather saved my grandfather’s life, then from now on, I will take good care of second grandfather! As for the others…”
Gong Jianjun was stunned, “What do you mean by that?”
