Tao Liangchen
Chapter 725 Even if the King of Heaven Comes
For a brief moment.
He imagined being torn to pieces, and even just thinking about what might happen next made him feel dizzy.
His colorful life instantly turned dark.
The shock was even more intense than losing five hundred million U.S. dollars in a single day, leaving him completely clueless about how to respond.
Reporter Song Zhe received the news soon after.
Before he could even start trading, the chips in his hand were already worthless.
When Song Zhe heard the news from a colleague, his first thought was that the dignified "Crown Prince Hao" had taken the initiative to break the news in order to save a mere five hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars.
However, when Song Zhe saw the name of the newspaper that broke the story, he realized that he had made a big mistake. He had been tricked because he had leaked the source of the information. He rushed to the newspaper to confront the people involved.
The information was there.
Whoever grabbed it got it, and there was no name on it. It would be strange if the newspaper admitted it.
The newspaper editor, known as Uncle He, even joked, "Don't daydream about tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. It was originally worth thirty to fifty thousand, but now I'll give you five hundred to have tea." This infuriated Song Zhe, and he finally began to regret being too greedy, missing out on a windfall...
Su Yehao probably never imagined that.
After three years of navigating the dating scene, he would fall into the hands of a down-on-his-luck paparazzi in this way.
All that could be said was that if you walk the night streets too much, you're bound to meet a ghost, and if you hang around the riverbank, you're bound to get your shoes wet.
When he received the call from Zhuang Wei's assistant, he wasn't sure if Xiao Nizi, Jiang Yu, and Yin Liuli had heard the news.
To avoid alarming Nong Qingying, Su Yehao first notified Linda Yun to tell everyone to keep quiet. No one was allowed to mention the matter before the baby was born.
He didn't dare to contact Jiang Yu and the others for the time being.
He was afraid that the sudden news, without any mental preparation, would only add fuel to the fire.
After thinking it over.
Su Yehao first called his dad and mom, asking them to meet at the Tang family's old house, only saying that the sky was about to fall and they should put down their work and come help.
...
An hour later, it was barely dark.
Grandfather Tang, Su Yehao, his parents, and even his aunt were there. The whole family sat neatly on the living room sofa, discussing how to deal with this troublesome matter.
At this moment.
The old man, not bothering to go against his son-in-law, took a sip of tea slowly and smacked his lips, saying:
"Xiao Hao, you did the right thing by coming to us. When a woman's temper flares up, she's easily impulsive. If your parents come forward, they can help smooth things over and give you some breathing room. I remember that your two girlfriends, the ones surnamed Nangong and Jiang, both have connections with our family, right? Have their families help persuade them."
A mother would always think of her son, and would naturally be biased.
For example, when Su's father used to philander outside and even dared to bring women home, Su Yehao's mother wished she could beat him to death with a stick. But now that her own son was involved in romantic affairs, she found it reasonable. After all, he was so outstanding, how could he not attract girls?
Tang's mother said:
"We should give them a heads-up in advance. I have a good relationship with Jiang Yu's mother, and we've been playing mahjong and having dinner together recently. As for Nangong's mother, let Hai Ge take care of it. I'm not very familiar with that woman."
"..."
Su's father always felt there was more to her words, but now was not the time to dwell on it. He asked Su Yehao:
"The evening paper has been out for a while. Have those two called to ask you anything? We need to understand the details first, otherwise we can't help you."
"They haven't contacted me yet. There's no way to hide this. Even if it hasn't spread like wildfire tonight because the newspaper's influence is small, it will definitely be all over the news when the morning paper comes out. Reporters have already gone to the hospital to interview. There's no way to keep it under wraps."
His tone was particularly melancholic. Like many who made mistakes, Su Yehao only started regretting when he was caught red-handed. Then he sighed and said, "It's hard to say how much help we can get from Jiang Shiye and Madam Nangong. The key is what those two are thinking. My brain is in shutdown mode. Please help me plan what to say when I apologize to them."
Grandfather Tang chuckled and said:
"There's an old saying, a great man need not worry about finding a wife? I usually think you're quite decisive, but how come you become so wishy-washy when it comes to women? My friends are lining up to introduce their granddaughters to you. You're not married anyway, so why worry so much?"
After listening.
Su Yehao's aunt immediately shook her head and retorted:
"Dad, what do you know? Xiao Hao is just sentimental, okay? How can those outsiders compare with his two childhood sweethearts? In my opinion, it's best to take them on one by one and be honest with them. Women are very thoughtful and sensitive. How could they be completely unaware of your personal life? Now, it's just that there's a child involved, which is indeed very hurtful, but if they love you, they might still forgive you in the end."
"Go, go, go. You haven't even been in love a few times. What do you know about men and women? You're just making a mess!"
Tang's mother scolded her sister without any restraint.
Since it concerned her son's happiness, Tang's mother felt it was necessary to plan it out in detail. How could they directly wave the white flag and hand over the initiative to Nangong Tian and the others?
Taking a few deep breaths.
Tang's mother made a decision and told him decisively:
"Let me talk to them. At worst, I'll just say it was an accident, but I wanted a grandson too much, so I forced Xiao Hao to keep the baby. Because Xiao Hao was afraid of hurting them, he kept it a secret. This way, we can basically make it up. Anyway, there are so many evil mothers-in-law in the world, let me be the villain."
Su's father immediately expressed his position: "That's a good idea. Didn't Father-in-law also say he wanted the child to be surnamed Tang? I have no objections."
"You dare to have an opinion? Do you believe I'll beat you to death with my cane?" The old man glared.
"..."
Hearing the word "grandson," Su Yehao seemed to realize something.
In fact, the results of the pregnancy test were available a few months ago, but he and Nong Qingying didn't want to know in advance and planned to keep it a surprise.
Seeing his mother spill the beans, Su Yehao didn't care about that and interjected:
"The key is that there's more than one secret. There's another woman in Pengcheng who's also pregnant with my child. One time can be said to be an accident, but twice is a habit. I feel that even the Heavenly King himself can't save me this time."
The whole family was dumbfounded.
Su Yehao explained:
"It's the former female manager of the Koko restaurant. I've already bought the Shahe Golf Club and sent her to Pengcheng to recuperate. It's because you guys are too concerned about Xiao Ying that I didn't dare to mention it to you. I wanted to find an opportunity to tell you later."
"No wonder you bought the golf course silently. I thought you had too much money to spend and were investing at the end of the year to avoid taxes!" Su's father suddenly understood.
People's sorrows are not the same.
Grandfather Tang was overjoyed to hear this and said, "Then you're done for. Even I think you've gone too far. I'm afraid even the Heavenly King can't save you."
Su Yehao's mother didn't know what to say for a moment. She was worried and amused, and she pinched her eyebrows and said:
"Just these two, no other women, right? It's the same whether you're herding one sheep or a flock of sheep. Give me some time to think it over carefully, and I'll try to help you solve it all at once. I have a friend who fights with her daughter-in-law all day long and is quite experienced in this kind of thing..."
