Chapter 414 Xiao Lingyu Being Reprimanded

“This is bad. This is bad!” Situ Xing rushed to the Xiao family and shouted in panic.

The Xiao family was about to eat breakfast when they heard a panicked voice. They were shocked. Even though normally Situ Xing was easily shocked, he had never been so panicky in his life before.

They immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks and quickly ran out.

Father Xiao asked, “Little Xing, What’s Wrong?”

Situ Xing glanced at the Xiao family members who walked out, but he failed to see a specific someone. Then, he looked in the house and said loudly, “Boss has a high fever.”

“What?” The Xiao family members were especially concerned when they heard that Gong Tianhao was sick. “Is it serious?” Gong Tianhao normally looked so hale. The Xiao Family didn’t think he’d be sick.

Situ Xing looked in a certain direction and said loudly, “It’s serious. It’s almost 40 degrees. If the fever continues, it’ll burn his brain.” This was a serious problem.

Mother Xiao said anxiously, “With such a high temperature, we should quickly cool him down or send him to the hospital. Oh, right, Little Xing, aren’t you a doctor? Hurry up and treat the patient. What are you doing here?”

Situ Xing, “…”

He explained, “Auntie, I also know that, but I can’t do anything if my patient doesn’t want to cooperate.”

When the Xiao Family heard this, they frowned and asked, “Little Xing, what do you mean by that?”

Situ Xing said in a somewhat helpless voice, “The Boss has been cooped up in his room for days. We were worried that he would starve after being hungry for so long, so we went to look for Boss to persuade him to eat something

“But who knew that once we entered, we found Boss lying on the bed with a red face. I guessed that he had a fever. I went forward and touched his forehead. It shocked me how hot it was.

“I immediately tried to cool him down, but Boss… he…” He had his audience by the hook.

“Hurry up. What happened to Tianhao?” Grandma Xiao asked anxiously.

Situ Xing said helplessly, “But Boss pushed me away.” He paused for a moment, ‘He didn’t want to take any medicine or injections. He just lay there and burn.” “Why is he doing this?” Mother Xiao was worried. “Doesn’t he know he is supposed to take medicine and injections when he’s sick? Tianhao isn’t a child anymore.”

At this point, Mother Xiao looked at Situ Xing suspiciously and asked, “Little Xing, is Tianhao afraid of needles? Is that why he doesn’t want to take the injection?”

Situ Xing, “…” Actually, Gong Tianhao was indeed afraid of needles and bitter medicine. However, this was only a weakness he and Old Master Gong knew. No one else could know about it. Situ Xing was shocked that Mother Xiao’s instinct was so sharp. But he couldn’t say anything, or his Boss would have his head! Plus, his Boss wasn’t really sick anyway. Situ Xing’s eyes floated for a moment, then he said seriously, “Auntie, the boss is not afraid of getting injections and taking bitter medicine, but… But…”

“What is it?” Grandma Xiao said anxiously, “What’s wrong with you, child? Why are you speaking only in halves? Little Xing, you need to be serious. Tianhao is sick!”

Situ Xing said with a serious expression, “Grandma, Boss doesn’t take medicine and injections because he said that the woman he likes doesn’t like him and isn’t willing to marry him. If he can’t marry the woman he likes, he might as well burn his brain and be a fool.”

When the Xiao family members heard this, their expressions changed and turned dark at the same time.

They had guessed that there must be some conflict between Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu. The reason for the conflict was Yu ‘Er.

No wonder Situ Xing came directly to them and told them that Gong Tianhao was sick.

Situ Xing glanced at the Xiao family’s expressions, especially the faces of Mother Xiao and Father Xiao.

Situ Xing continued, “Auntie, Grandma, do you know that Boss hasn’t eaten or drunk in the past few days? He is very weak. I don’t think he can handle a high fever. “If he doesn’t receive treatment, at best, his physical condition will deteriorate. At worst, he might turn into a dummy, or even… even die.” Situ Xing gritted his teeth and said the last sentence.

“So, I’m here now to ask you to beg you to help us get Boss to receive treatment.” Situ Xing cried, “The old master and I are really at our wit’s end. Usually, Boss has a good relationship with you, so he might listen to you. So, I want you to persuade him.”

After saying this, he raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and said very seriously, “It has been two hours since I found out that the boss has a high fever. If he stays in this state for another one or two hours, he might really become a retard.”

“Xiao Lingyu, get out here now!” Mother Xiao suddenly shouted.

The Xiao family members, and Situ Xing, were shocked at first, then they fell silent.

A moment later, Xiao Lingyu dragged her heavy body out.

Her expression was very calm.

However, her eyes were red, and she looked like she had been crying.

However, other than Situ Xing, the Xiao family members did not seem to notice this.

Situ Xing secretly raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, ‘She is not a cold-hearted person. There is a misunderstanding between her and Boss. Once this is resolved, they will be happy together.’ As soon as Xiao Lingyu came out, Mother Xiao asked sharply, “Xiao Lingyu, is this the result you want?”

“Mother…” Xiao Lingyu called out, wanting to explain.

“Tianhao likes you, so he doted on you and did everything for you. He has done so much for you. Even a stone would be moved, but what about you? How could you be so unfazed?” Mother Xiao was really angered this time. She was furious when she heard Situ Xing say that Xiao Lingyu wasn’t going to marry Gong Tianhao.

She really didn’t know what to say to her daughter. She had promised to be the man’s boyfriend, but she didn’t want to marry him. She was clearly playing with his emotions. Even Mother Xiao thought she had gone overboard.

Mother Xiao and the Xiao family had never doubted the truth in Situ Xing’s words.

Little did they know that his words were half true and half false.

Xiao Lingyu never considered marrying Gong Tianhao now, but it didn’t mean that she wouldn’t consider it in the future.

Mother Xiao said, “Xiao Lingyu, what is it that you don’t like about Gong Tianhao? Why are you torturing him like this? Gong Tianhao is such a good child, yet you are tormenting him. Does your conscience not hurt?”

Mother Xiao didn’t protect Xiao Lingyu because she was her daughter.

Xiao Lingyu’s eyes were filled with tears, and there was deep pain in her eyes. The corners of her mouth were trembling, and she opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something but stopped.

Mother Xiao continued to scold her sharply, “Xiao Lingyu, since you don’t like Gong Tianhao, why did you agree to be his girlfriend? Since you agreed to be his girlfriend, why won’t you marry him?” Xiao Lingyu covered her face as tears continued to fall to the ground. She shook her head and wanted to deny it, but her throat seemed to be blocked. Her voice was extremely soft and could not be heard as Mother Xiao continued to scold her.

Therefore, no one present heard Xiao Lingyu admit that she liked Gong Tianhao, except for Situ Xing, who had been observing her. He frowned.

‘It seems like Xiao Lingyu does like the Boss. There is love in her eyes, but it is very deeply hidden.’

Mother Xiao did not wait for Xiao Lingyu to speak. She continued, “You have been betrayed before, so you are more careful when it comes to love. As a mother, I can understand that.

“But Gong Tianhao doesn’t even mind that you’re pregnant with a child. He treated you and the child in your stomach like a treasure. He took care of you very carefully, and it was obvious that he truly loved this child.

“Xiao Lingyu, let me tell you. You are lucky that Gong Tianhao fell in love with you. Otherwise, why would an outstanding man like him be with a cold-hearted woman like you?”

Mother Xiao’s words stung.

Xiao Lingyu’s body trembled, and her eyes widened as she looked at her mother.

“Xiao Lingyu, you are toying with Tianhao’s feelings because you know that he loves you. One day, you’ll exhaust his love. Then, you’ll regret it.”

This time, Mother Xiao was furious. She didn’t hold back. She scolded Xiao Lingyu harshly. But as harsh as they were, they were the truth.

Xiao Lingyu’s expression was very shocked. Her eyes widened, and she looked at Mother Xiao in disbelief. She shook her head hard and said, “I… I didn’t… No… it’s not like that.”

Situ Xing, who was standing at the side, looked at Xiao Lingyu, who was at a loss for what to do.

He felt a sense of joy for his boss. Xiao Lingyu should be punished for treating his Boss like that. The outsiders couldn’t teach Xiao Lingyu a lesson, but the Xiao Family could.

“If that’s not the case, then what is?” Mother Xiao asked sharply, “Xiao Lingyu, the facts are right in front of us, and you’re still lying to us. Let me tell you. If you don’t give us an explanation today, don’t say that you’re my daughter. I, Chen Qiuying, don’t have such a ruthless daughter who will toy with an innocent man’s heart.”

Xiao Lingyu’s expression changed drastically. This matter was too serious. Her mother would really disown her.

Xiao Lingyu immediately looked at Father Xiao with her pleading eyes.

“Cough cough…” Father Xiao had no choice but to step forward when he received his daughter’s plea for help.

Father Xiao said, “Qiuying, your words are a little serious.”

“Serious? How is it serious?” Mother Xiao immediately retorted, “Is anything that I said not the truth?”

Father Xiao immediately said, like a lackey, “Yes, yes, it’s the truth. Honey, I’m firmly on your side.”

Xiao Lingyu, “…” She and her brother had often seen this last-minute turn since they were young

Then, Father Xiao said in a very serious and sincere tone, “Yu ‘Er, if you really don’t like that child Tianhao, then you should make it clear to him. Don’t keep him hanging on one side, and enjoy his efforts. You can’t be a scumbag.” Xiao Lingyu,”…”

As soon as Father Xiao finished speaking, the other members of the Xiao family also spoke up.

“Yu ‘Er, you’re a member of the Xiao family, so you can’t act like this. You can’t be a scumbag.” Grandma Xiao was very trendy. Even though she was a little older, she knew what a scumbag meant. “Xiao Lingyu, if a woman occasionally acts coquettishly to a man, that is fine. A man might even like that.

“But if she continues to do that, it’ll eventually disgust the man.

“You don’t want to end up as such annoying women, right?”

Xiao Lingyu, “…” She didn’t expect her eldest aunt to know things like that. “Yes, yes. Yu ‘Er, your aunt is right.” Grandma Xiao chimed in, “You can’t be so pretentious. If this continues, people will lose their patience. You have met a good man like Tianhao. If it were anyone else, they would have broken up with you long ago.”

…

Just like that, a group of Xiao family members surrounded Xiao Lingyu and constantly criticized her.

They were basically attacking Xiao Lingyu in a group.

Of course, since Xiao Lingyu was a girl, most of the people who criticized her were women.

Xiao Lingyu’s face was pale, and her body felt like it was about to collapse.

Situ Xing looked at her, and his expression immediately became a little flustered.

Xiao Lingyu was still pregnant, and he could not allow any accidents to happen.

“Ahem…” Situ Xing looked at the time and said, “Aunty, grandma, if Tianhao doesn’t take his medicine for another half an hour, the consequences will be very serious. You guys need to help me persuade him…”

“Not good, doctor situ. The young master’s fever has reached 41 degrees.”

As soon as the servant said that, a figure rushed out.
