Chapter 231: I have my difficulties

~6 min read 1,054 words

This is pure nonsense; in this situation, who can control it?

Dad, don't say it.

Old Geng, just stop talking; this daughter's heart is like a clear mirror—she knows everything. Moreover, speaking of it, the Xiao Family—we can't afford to provoke them.

How? How can we not afford to provoke them? If worse comes to worst, we'll just cut ties with the Xiao Family.

Old Geng, don't say such angry words; now, the news media have already reported it. If we let Jing Shu be expelled from the Xiao Family, what face would we have left, and could we still survive here?

What? You've relied on the Xiao Family your whole life, right? Could it be that if we leave the Xiao Family, we can't get by?

Old Geng, don't say such angry words; now, just calm down a bit. Moreover, this matter certainly has a cause. Don't rush; once we figure it out, we'll talk about the rest.

Geng Yu Er, fine, let me ask: what exactly is going on with this matter?

After speaking, he turned and left in a fury.

Geng Jing Shu still wanted to stop him, but she knew that once her father's stubborn temper flared, no ordinary person could stop him.

Geng Tianhao received a call from his older brother out of the blue.

And as soon as he answered, he was met with an unwarranted scolding.

This unwarranted scolding left him utterly bewildered.

Older brother, don't rush; let me ask Yu Er what's going on—this, this, the child didn't even tell me.

I'm telling you, you'd better figure this out; because of this matter, we've already offended the Xiao Family.

Oh, I see, older brother; I'll go ask him right away.

Geng Tianhao knows that offending the Xiao Family is no small matter.

If it were before, perhaps he wouldn't have regarded the Xiao Family.

But now, everyone relies on the Xiao Family, and with the Xiao Family as a powerful backer, his business is sure to thrive.

Therefore, this God of Wealth is someone we must absolutely not offend.

He walked out of the study and then glanced over there.

He heard the music buzzing continuously inside the room.

It's obvious that at this time, Geng Yu Er should be in the room.

He quickly walked up and then pushed the door open.

Dad, what are you doing?

Geng Yu Er hurriedly pressed the stop button, and honestly, it was truly the first time her father had barged into her room like that.

"Yu Er, your uncle just called me and, out of the blue, gave me a scolding."

"What? Uncle scolded you? Why, did you offend them?"

"I'm asking you, what exactly happened with Jing Shu's miscarriage?"

"Dad, you, you're fine—how could you suddenly ask about this?"

When Geng Yu Er spoke about this issue, she even started to stutter a bit.

What kind of person is Geng Tianhao? What storms has he not weathered?

Just that one sentence from his daughter made him realize this matter is absolutely not that simple.

"Yu Er, do you know something? Tell me, what exactly is going on?"

"Dad, what's the matter? Isn't it just that she accidentally tripped and then miscarried? Have you heard something outside?"

"She tripped? I feel this isn't that simple. Moreover, your uncle would definitely not call me out of the blue for no reason; I believe he must know something."

"You say, you say, uncle, uncle knows?"

Geng Yu Er exclaimed in panic.

Geng Tianhao fully understood all of this.

It turns out his daughter truly had something on her mind that she was hiding from him.

Could it be that his miscarriage is actually related to Geng Yu Er?

Is this even tolerable?

If they really let the Xiao family find out, I'm afraid I'll never be able to get by in Anjin City for the rest of my life.

"Yu Er, tell me quickly what happened? Also, is his miscarriage related to you?"

"Dad, what are you saying? How could it be related to me?"

Geng Yu Er felt a bit guilty; as she spoke, she slowly lowered her head.

"Raise your head and look at me."

Dad.

"Tell me, was she not tripped but pushed by you?"

Geng Yu Er said nothing, merely keeping silent.

Well, together, it suddenly dawned on him—could this matter really be related to his own daughter?

"Yu Er, ah, how could you be so foolish? And how could you do such a thing?"

"Dad, I also have difficulty speaking, and I don't want this either."

"If you don't want this, what does the child in someone else's womb have to do with you? And what is your purpose in doing this?"

"Dad, this is, this is him asking me."

"What are you saying? She asked me? Who is she? Is it that Xiao Yunzhe?"

"No, it's Jing Shu."

"What? Geng Jing Shu asked you to trip him?"

To Geng Tianhao, this is pure fantasy, and theoretically it makes no sense.

"Exactly, he asked me to, at this opportunity, to push him as much as possible so he could fall to the ground."

Why is she doing this? Moreover, the child's months are clearly getting bigger and bigger; could it be that he doesn't want to be the Xiao Family young mistress?

Oh dear, Dad, just don't worry about this matter; if Jing Shu does this, she certainly has her unspeakable difficulties.

What are the difficulties? Now, she's already pregnant with the Xiao Family's child, and moreover, how many women dream of doing this? He now already has it, so why would he still want to abort the child?

Geng Tianhao truly couldn't understand Geng Jing Shu's actions.

Because, in his view, it's fundamentally an impractical matter.

Alright, alright, Dad, I still have some things to do on my end; don't hold me up here.

As he spoke, Geng Tianhao raised his head and continued to press for answers on this matter.

Geng Tianhao refused to give up, because he was now absolutely certain that there was definitely a problem, and moreover, a huge secret was being hidden.

If you, today I make this clear to me, then okay, I won't ask you anymore; I'll have your paternal uncle come over directly to ask you.
