1228 Breaking Off Resolutely
“The person behind her?”
Tian Xiaogui pondered for a moment and couldn’t help frowning. “Father, do you think that the person behind Tian Yunyun isn’t the First Elder and the others, but the Second Elder of the Silver Moon Sect?”
If it was really the Second Elder of the Silver Moon Sect, it would indeed be a bit troublesome.
Tian Hongcheng nodded. “That’s right. If it’s about the Tian family, Tian Yunyun wouldn’t be so concerned.”
Hearing that, Tian Xiaogui couldn’t help looking at his father with a strange expression.
How could Tian Hongcheng not know why his son looked at him like this? He pretended to be angry and said, “Why? Do you think I’m just an old fool?”
He didn’t say it out loud and didn’t fuss about it because he thought that they were family and there was no need to fuss about it so much.
However, the truth he realized was that these people wouldn’t feel any gratitude at all towards his compromise and accommodation. Instead, they would push their luck even further.
In the end, it even became a matter of course.
After this, he would really be an idiot in the eyes of those people if he continued to back down.
Tian Xiaogui touched his nose awkwardly. “No, Father, you’re so righteous and smart. How would you be fooled by those hypocritical people? But Father…”
Tian Xiaogui paused. After looking at his father a few times, he said carefully, “Father, can you not be polite to them anymore in the future? The more polite you are to those people, the more they’ll push their luck. When they were in the Tian family, they were the best example.”
In fact, what Tian Xiaogui wanted to say more was that those people were a group of ingrates. Even if they treated them well, they would definitely not receive any gratitude. They might even be repaid with ingratitude.
Seeing his son’s cowardly look, Tian Hongcheng couldn’t help but slap the back of his head in amusement.
Tian Xiaogui subconsciously shrank his neck and didn’t dare to dodge.
However, he looked even more terrified.
Tian Hongcheng saw the nervousness in his son’s eyes. he sighed slightly and said, “Don’t worry. Even though your father values friendship and loyalty, I’m not a fool. Besides, I’m already the deputy manager of the Octagon Auction House and can be considered a member of the Octagon Sect. The Octagon Sect is naturally the priority for all benefits.”
Hearing what his father said, Tian Xiaogui’s originally nervous heart immediately calmed down.
Knock, knock!
“Deputy Steward, a person claiming to be your fourth brother is looking for you outside. Do you want to invite him up?”
Just as Tian Xiaogui was about to say something, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by a respectful female voice.
“Fourth Uncle?”
Tian Xiaogui, who had just relaxed, immediately frowned again. Apparently, he didn’t like his Fourth Uncle very much.
Seeing his son’s disgusted reaction, Tian Hongcheng felt even more that he had let his son down all these years.
“Go back. Tell them that I’m no longer a member of the Tian family, and tell him not to contact me anymore.” Tian Hongcheng said to the maid outside.
“Yes, Deputy Steward.” After the servant outside replied, she quickly went downstairs.
“What? My third brother really said that?!”
Tian Hongchuan, who was waiting at the door, looked incredulous when he heard the servant’s reply.
The servant nodded slightly. “Yes.”
“How… How is this possible?”
Tian Hongchuan was still unwilling to believe that Tian Hongcheng would say such a thing.
When he was in the Tian family, he had never had any conflict with his third brother and their relationship had always been passable.
He thought that even if his third brother left the Tian family, it would only be a conflict with the Tian family and the First Elder. It wouldn’t implicate him.
But now…
