After hearing that, Xu Moqi couldn’t help rolling his eyes again, indicating his disagreement. Then, he said in an unfriendly tone, “You’re the problem, not me!”
At this point, Xu Moqi could no longer keep calm. He stood up, pointed at his grandfather, and said angrily, “You are an old man in his sixties, but you are so abnormal. You always like playing tricks on your grandson. You even left him alone in the woods. You even let him stay in a cabinet a whole day. You forced him to wear a dress and took photos of him. And yet you want him to call you dear grandpa? You really are disgusting.”
“Er. . . ” His grandfather had a guilty conscience, so he touched his own nose and coughed, then said, “I, I thought it was good for you!"
“Good for me?” Xu Moqi asked, sneering.
“Of course!” Xu Mingxiong continued, “I left you alone in the woods because I wanted you to become a brave man! And now, look how bold you are! I think it’s thanks to that!”
After hearing that, Xu Moqi just smiled coldly. “Are you sure you only did it to instill courage in me?”
Yes! His grandfather nodded firmly.
“However, I remember you were following a pretty woman at the time. Later, you got lost, so you had to call my father. You left me in the woods until my father asked you about me.”
Xu Mingxiong violently coughed so hard that his face got red. After hearing his cough, Xu Moqi felt no sympathy for him. He continued, “If you think you left me in the woods alone just for the sake of my courage, how do you explain that time you left me to stay in a cabinet for a whole day?”
When he realized his grandson didn’t sympathize with him at all, he cleared his throat and said seriously, “I did that so yo could learn to adapt to the darkness! You should understand that business is war! There are many dark things in business! So long as you understand and can adapt to the darkness, you will control the dark things. You are my only grandson, so you are the only successor of the Xu Family. In order to train you to be an excellent successor, I had no choice but to do that back then. . . ”
Xu Mingxiong finished these words in a tearful voice. If there had been a third person to witness this exchange, he or she surely would’ve been touched by what he said. However. . .
After hearing these words, Xu Moqi’s face grew darker. His frown deepened. When he saw his grandfather pretend to wipe away tears with a handkerchief, he couldn’t tolerate any more.
“Please don’t argue slyly! In fact, we played hide-and-seek that day. You told me to hide somewhere while you counted from one to 100. However, after I hid in a cabinet, you left. Then, I stayed in the cabinet all day like a fool! If my father didn’t have Fusao look for me at supper time, I would have suffocated in there!”
Xu Moqi was very angry, but his grandfather looked innocent. He seemed to completely forget about his guilt. This made him even angrier.
“One day, you saw our neighbor Uncle Yu walking with his little daughter. Then, you asked someone to buy lots of girl clothes. You told me I was actually a girl! You made me wear those dresses. I didn’t know you were playing a trick on me, because I was very young at the time. I was so stupid that I believed you!”
“The most disgusting thing was calling you dear grandpa. You asked me to add the word ‘dear’ whenever I called you grandpa! You’re such a weirdo. You’re like an old fox in human skin! You often pretend to be a gentleman outside! I really wanted to peel off your mask someday, and then, everyone will know you are a disgusting person!”
At this moment, Xu Mingxiong was very embarra.s.sed. Er. . . He knew that everything his grandson said was true, but he thought Xu Moqi didn’t respect him at all. After all, he was his grandfather. He felt very disgraced when his grandson said these things in a such direct way. Fortunately, n.o.body was in the office except for them. . .
Considering this, he said, “Okay! You win! Well, tell me, why did you come here?”
With a sneer, Xu Moqi said,
“Qianqiu Real Estate and Mo Family Hotel”
“Well?” After hearing these two names, his grandfather instantly became shrewd, like an old fox. He remembered well that Xu Moqi had asked him to find these two addresses last time. He spoke of them again now. . .
“First, tell these two families that their daughters must leave Yinghua College as soon as possible. They are disallowed from studying there any longer! Second, you must manage to make these two addresses completely disappear from Yinghua City within half a month!”
