Chapter 1186
“To think that I really believed that she had the ability to revive the dead. I must have been crazy to believe her.”
“Who isn’t? Sigh! I even worked myself to death to go out and buy a kettle to help boil hot water.”
“Apologize! You have to apologize. You have to apologize no matter what.”
Tong Li snorted proudly and looked at Melody Fox. “Did you hear that? Everyone is asking you to apologize! If you don’t kneel and kowtow to my grandfather, I’ll sue you for insulting a corpse! If I remember correctly, insulting a corpse requires a three-year sentence. Think carefully.”
Tong Jiaxuan also said arrogantly, “Whether you’ll be sentenced to three years or kneel down and kowtow to my father honestly, you’ll have to think about which is more important.”
He and Tong Li both agreed that although they could not provoke Ken Swanson, this ugly woman was still easily played by them.
Tong Li originally wanted to slap Melody Fox to vent her hatred.
However, she was afraid that Ken Swanson would think that she was an arrogant and despotic woman, so she only asked Melody Fox to kneel and kowtow.
Melody Fox looked at Tong Li and Tong Jiaxuan, who were blocking in front of him. The smug expression on their faces made Melody Fox frown in disgust.
She said coldly.
“I’m doing all this so that Old Mr. Tong can wake up. It’s fine if you don’t want Old Mr. Tong to wake up, but you actually said that I insulted a corpse? The two of you have really broadened my horizons!”
“You-” Tong Li was so angry that her face turned green.
Tong Jiaxuan was even more furious as he scolded, “Shut up! Damn girl, stop spouting nonsense here! How can I not wish for my father to come back alive? But how can a person come back from the dead? Don’t f*cking twist right and wrong here. I think you’re just stubborn and want to escape punishment!”
Melody Fox was amused.
“If you really hope that Elder Tong can wake up, why did you stop me from checking on Elder Tong’s condition?” “There’s nothing wrong with my treatment process, but there must be some mistake or omission. As long as I check carefully, Elder Tong still has a chance to wake up again.”
“However, you guys kept stopping me and stalling for Fox rooms. When he died from brain death, Elder Tong would really never wake up again.”
Ken Swanson took a few steps forward and stood side by side with Melody Fox.
“You two, get out of the way!”
Otherwise, don’t blame him for attacking again.
Maria Fox also walked forward and said, “Tong Jiaxuan, I believe what my granddaughter said is true. There’s no need for her to insult Old Tong at all. Why are you so aggressive? Don’t think that others don’t know about your wild ambitions.”
Tong Jiaxuan’s gaze became even colder and angrier.
“You guys… Are you bullying us because my father has left and there’s no one in charge in the family? Let me tell you, I definitely won’t let you get close to my father again! If you want to go over, step over my corpse!”
“Men! All of you, come over! Block my grandfather!” Tong Li shouted.
The Tong Family’s bodyguards and relatives standing on Tong Jiaxuan’s side, Room 1Fox, all leaned over, forming a human wall that firmly blocked in front of the three of them.
Melody Fox’s expression was gloomy and his gaze was cold.
She wanted to save Old Mr. Tong’s life, but his own family stopped her from saving him.
Ken Swanson directly issued an ultimatum.
“I’ll say it one last time. Move!”
Tong Jiaxuan was afraid for a moment, but he still gritted his teeth and stood on the spot.
Ken Swanson narrowed his eyes and was about to ask Aaron Berg to attack when he saw Tong Qizhen walk to their side and kneel down in front of Tong Jiaxuan.
“Jiaxuan! As your brother, I’m begging you! Let Miss Fox take a look. Perhaps he really missed some steps. If he makes up for this step, Dad will come back to life? I’m begging you! Please move aside!”
Tong Jiaxuan’s eyes seemed to be burning with fire.
“Get the f*ck up! Why are you pretending? Dad has already left. Who are you pretending to be filial to?”
“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. Don’t you just want to show how much you care about Dad and make me think that I don’t care about Dad’s life and death and want everyone to drown me with spit?”
everyone
“Let me tell you, no one is blind. Everyone knows that you’re just putting on an act!”
“I think you also invited these people, right? Otherwise, why did this old lady Fox come back after so many years?”
“Everyone, come and see how good this guy is at acting!”
Tong Qizhen clenched his fists in anger. He suddenly stood up and punched Tong Jiaxuan heavily.
There was a muffled bang.
Tong Jiaxuan’s face was directly slapped to the side, and blood flowed down his nose.
Tong Jiaxuan covered his nose and was furious.
“Damn it! How dare you hit me? You’re just a dog raised by my family. How dare you attack my master? I think you’re courting death!”
Tong Jiaxuan raised his fist and was about to retaliate when he was grabbed by a seemingly slender but extremely powerful hand.
Tong Jiaxuan followed the hand and saw Melody Fox glaring at him with disgust.
He subconsciously wanted to struggle, but he realized that he could not break free no matter what.
“Damn it! Let go of me!”
Melody Fox sneered and said, “You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. I’m talking to you nicely, but you don’t listen. Then don’t blame us.”
As she spoke, she turned to Ken Swanson and said, “Call your men over. We can’t let them delay Room Fox any longer.”
“Okay.”
Ken Swanson nodded. Just as he was about to call out Death Warrior who was hiding in the dark to quickly deal with the group of people blocking the way, he heard a surprised voice-
“Old Man Tong is alive!”
“What?!”
In Room Fox, everyone quickly looked at the large wooden barrel.
Old Mr. Tong had already opened his eyes and was staring fixedly at them.
Some of the more timid ones screamed, “A zombie came back to life!” and fainted from fear.
Of course, only a small number of people fainted from fear.
More people felt that it was impossible for there to be a ghost in broad daylight before the sunset.
Tong Qizhen was the first to react and happily ran towards Old Mr. Tong.
“Dad! Dad, you’re awake?! Are you really awake? That’s great, Dad, that’s great. You’re not dead. You’re really not dead…”
Tong Qizhen, a man in his early forties, cried happily. Old Mr. Tong patted Tong Qizhen’s shoulder lovingly.
“Don’t cry. You’re already a father. Your daughter is already at the age to get married. Why are you crying? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”
Tong Qizhen shook his head.
“Don’t be afraid… As long as you can wake up, what’s the big deal about being laughed at?”
After the conversation between the two of them, everyone finally realized that this was not a fake corpse, but that Old Mr. Tong had really been saved by that young lady.
“God, this is really godly!”
“This is simply a miracle. I can actually see such a miracle in
my lifetime. Today’s trip was really not in vain!”
“I’ve misunderstood that Miss Fox. He really has Hua Tuo’s medical skills!”
Chapter 1187
Everyone sighed.
“Fortunately, he woke up. If he woke up after being buried, wouldn’t he be suffocated to death in the coffin?”
“Tsk, I wonder how Elder Tong will treat his own son.”
In the wooden barrel.
Old Mr. Tong looked at Tong Qizhen, who was crying uncontrollably. He smiled and said, “Alright, stop crying first. You’re not the one who should be crying. Help me out first.”
Tong Qizhen wiped his tears and did not immediately help Old Mr. Tong out. Instead, he asked Melody Fox respectfully.
“Miss Fox, can my dad come out now?”
Melody Fox nodded.
“Since you’re awake, you can come out. Keep warm and don’t catch a cold.”
“Yes, yes.”
Tong Qizhen nodded. As he explained to Old Mr. Tong that he could “resurrect from the dead” because of Melody Fox’s treatment, he instructed someone to help Old Mr. Tong out of the wooden barrel with him.
After Old Mr. Tong came out, he bowed deeply to Melody Fox.
“Thank you for saving my life!”
Melody Fox nodded slightly. “You’re my grandmother’s friend. This is what I should do. You don’t have to be too polite. Go change into dry clothes first.”
Maria Fox also said, “Old Tong, let’s not talk about such formalities between us. Hurry up and change your clothes. Melody said that you can’t catch a cold.”
“Okay.”
Old Mr. Tong nodded and cupped his hands at everyone. “Everyone, please excuse me for a moment. We’ll talk after I change my clothes. Sorry for being rude.”
“No disrespect, no disrespect.”
“No problem, go ahead.”
Everyone expressed their understanding.
Old Mr. Tong nodded again.
He was about to change his clothes with Tong Qizhen’s help when he suddenly stopped and looked at Tong Qizhen coldly.
Tong Jiaxuan was still showing off in front of Tong Qizhen just now. Now that he met Old Mr. Tong’s gaze, he was so frightened that his legs went limp and he directly knelt on the ground.
“Dad…”
“Hmph!” Old Mr. Tong snorted coldly from the tip of his nose and left after saying, “I’ll settle the score with you when I come back.”
Tong Jiaxuan was so frightened that his face turned pale. Oh no…
She wondered how much her father had seen just now.
Damn it, how could the old man really wake up?
What should he do? What should he do?
Tong Li’s situation was not much better than Tong Jiaxuan’s. Moreover, she had not eaten as much as her father. She was so frightened that she cried.
“Boohoo…”
Tong Jiaxuan scolded irritably, “Shut up! Why are you crying? Be quiet! It’s so noisy!”
Tong Li had nowhere to vent her grievances, so she could only try her best to suppress her cries.
Melody Fox was surrounded by the crowd.
Some of them wanted Melody Fox’s contact information in a flattering manner, while others sincerely thanked Melody Fox.
Melody Fox responded to them one by one. From the corner of his eye, he saw Ken Swanson looking at her proudly. His heart could not help but feel warm, and his lips curled into a smile.
At Fox, Old Mr. Tong finally changed his clothes and came out.
After changing into a suit, Elder Tong looked energetic and did not look sick at all.
However, from his staggering steps, it could be seen that his vitality had yet to recover.
He looked energetic now, but he was holding his breath, so the adrenaline in his body was ignited.
Melody Fox raised his eyebrows.
It seemed like Old Mr. Tong roughly knew what had happened.
Old Mr. Tong must have woken up when Tong Jiaxuan stopped her just now.
It was just that everyone was certain that Elder Tong would not wake up, so they did not pay attention to that side.
She was wondering why Old Mr. Tong didn’t wake up.
It turned out that he had woken up a long time ago, but he was deliberately watching the show, watching this tragic human drama.
Thinking about it, Old Mr. Tong was quite pitiful.
His own son did not care if he lived or died. In fact, he was very happy that he was dead.
As Old Mr. Tong walked over, everyone greeted him one after another.
“Elder Tong.”
“Congratulations, Elder Tong.”
“Old Mr. Tong, you’re going to hold a big banquet this time. If such a joyous event can happen, you’ll definitely live a long life in the future!”
Old Mr. Tong nodded slightly. He did not smile at all because of everyone’s congratulations.
Everyone could tell that Old Mr. Tong was on the verge of exploding, so they quickly tactfully made way for Old Mr. Tong.
This path led straight to Tong Jiaxuan and his daughter.
Tong Jiaxuan had just stood up from the ground not long ago. Now, his legs and stomach were trembling again, and he felt like he was about to kneel down again.
“Dad…”
He forced a smile and said, “Congratulations on coming back from the dead. I’m really happy for you! The heavens are kind enough to not bear for me to lose you!”
“Heh! Do the heavens have eyes? If not for Miss Fox’s help, I would have been buried in the ground by you!”
“I-I don’t know either. The doctor announced that you’re dead. If I knew that you weren’t dead, why would I be like this? You have to believe me!”
Old Mr. Tong sneered mockingly and stood half a meter away from Tong Jiaxuan.
“Shut up and get on your knees!”
Tong Jiaxuan was stunned and wanted to quibble. “Dad…”
“I asked you to kneel down. Are you deaf?!”
Tong Li could not help but say, “Grandpa, Dad…”
“Shut up! Kneel down too!”
Old Mr. Tong interrupted Tong Li and ordered her coldly.
Tong Li did not expect her grandfather to punish her as well. She gritted her teeth and knelt down in anger.
The father and daughter knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe loudly.
“Tong Jiaxuan, I gave birth to you and raised you. Is this how you treat me? Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?!”
Tong Jiaxuan hurriedly explained, “No, Dad, listen to my explanation. It’s not what you think… Did Tong Qizhen say something when he changed his clothes just now? You can’t believe what he said. I’m your biological son!”
Old Mr. Tong narrowed his eyes.
“My biological son? My biological son stopped the doctor from saving my life, but my godson knelt down and begged you to give me a chance to be saved. You have the cheek to say that you’re my biological son? I wish I didn’t have a son like you!”
If he had known that his son would be like this, he would not have let him be born in the first place!
His wife had passed away after giving birth to Tong Jiaxuan.
It was really not worth it to exchange one’s life for such a thing!
If his wife was in heaven and saw that his son had been raised like this, how would he explain it to her when they went underground?
Tong Jiaxuan was indignant and continued to slander Tong Qizhen.
“Dad, Tong Qizhen is just putting on an act! He knew that you would wake up, so he deliberately acted like that.”
“What about you? If you knew that I could wake up, why didn’t you let Girl Fox treat me?”
“Fox” referred to Melody Fox.
Melody Fox raised his eyebrows and heard Tong Jiaxuan continue to lie through his teeth.
“That’s because I didn’t know you’d really wake up. I really thought you’d leave. That’s why they were preparing the funeral…”
Chapter 1188
“I really thought that you had really left.”
“She stabbed you with needles and soaked you in water when you were already gone. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was against the rules. That’s why I stopped her.”
“Heavens have mercy on me. I’m doing this for you!”
However, Old Mr. Tong was not swayed by Tong Jiaxuan’s tearful explanation at all.
“Tong Jiaxuan, you still don’t know how to repent and are still quibbling! As a son, you know that your biological father has a chance to come back alive, but you don’t care about this opportunity at all. You even stopped her. Do you think I don’t know your intentions?!”
Tong Jiaxuan gritted his teeth and said, “What do I have to do to make you believe me? I really don’t have any so-called ulterior motives. It’s all to make you leave in peace! I really don’t know if you can really live back…”
Tong Li also cried and said, “Grandpa, Dad, and I did this out of respect for you. If we knew that you would really wake up, we definitely wouldn’t have stopped her from saving you.”
“Enough! Even Qizhen is willing to give it a try for a glimmer of hope, no matter how slim it is. What about you? Why can’t the two of you be like him?”
Tong Jiaxuan hated Tong Qizhen to death.
Coincidentally, Tong Qizhen opened his mouth to persuade Old Mr. Tong.
“Dad, calm down. Brother was indeed a little impulsive, but I believe that it’s not that he doesn’t want you to wake up…
Tong Jiaxuan couldn’t take it anymore. He suddenly stood up and said, “Tong Qizhen, shut up!”
“…” Tong Qizhen looked at Tong Jiaxuan in shock, not knowing why he was scolding him.
“You’re f*cking adding fuel to the fire! You’re really
ambitious! Do you think that you can inherit Dad’s assets by whispering into his ear and making him misunderstand me?”
As Tong Jiaxuan spoke, he said to Old Mr. Tong, “Dad! I beg you to open your eyes! Don’t be deceived by this ingrate who wants to snatch your biological son’s things!” “Enough!”
Old Mr. Tong raised his hand and slapped Tong Jiaxuan hard.
Tong Jiaxuan’s face was swollen from Tong Qizhen’s punch just now. Now that he was slapped, his face was swollen like a pig’s head.
He covered his face in pain, feeling even angrier.
“Dad, you hit me for an adopted son?”
“I’m hitting you!”
“Why?! I’m your biological son! Tong Qizhen is nothing. As soon as you left, he tried to swallow the family assets and insisted on attending your funeral as your son. Can’t you tell what he’s up to?”
“Hehe!”
Old Mr. Tong laughed coldly, but it looked more like a bitter smile.
He shook his head and said in disappointment, “Tong Jiaxuan, you said that Qizhen wants to take over my assets, but do you know? Two days ago, when I felt that I was about to die, Qizhen took the initiative to find me and begged me to write his will…”
Tong Jiaxuan widened his eyes and said, “Ha! Didn’t you see it yourself? He actually asked you to write a will behind my back!”
“Idiot!”
Old Mr. Tong raised his hand and slapped Tong Jiaxuan heavily again.
This time, Old Mr. Tong was extremely heavy-handed. One of Tong Jiaxuan’s teeth was directly knocked off, and blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
“Dad, are you alright?” Tong Li saw that Tong Jiaxuan’s mouth was full of blood and was shocked. She quickly got up from the ground to support Tong Jiaxuan.
She looked at Old Mr. Tong hatefully and said, “Grandpa, looks like you really treat your adopted son better than your own son. Tong Qizhen already forced you to make a will and share the family assets with him, but you still treat me and my father like this? Were you poisoned by Tong Qizhen?!”
Old Mr. Tong was so angry that his hands were trembling.
However, he suddenly calmed down and even smiled coldly.
“Tong Li, Tong Jiaxuan, it seems like I wasn’t wrong just now. I’ll make things clear to you now!”
As Old Mr. Tong spoke, he looked at Tong Qizhen and said, “The will is with you. Take it out and show it to them now!”
“Dad, there’s no need for you to fight with Jiaxuan to this extent…”
“I told you to take it out!”
Tong Qizhen had no choice but to take out the will and hand it to Old Mr. Tong.
Old Mr. Tong shook his head.
“You don’t have to give it to me. Show it to the father and daughter!”
Tong Qizhen did as he was told and handed the will to Tong Jiaxuan.
Tong Jiaxuan pulled him over and looked at the words on the wall angrily.
He wanted to see how ridiculous his father was! He was so siding with outsiders!
Tong Li also quickly went over. Before reading the will, she did not forget to glare fiercely at Tong Qizhen.
Then, she looked at the will.
When the two of them saw the words written on it, their expressions gradually turned from anger to disbelief.
In the will, Qingqing Wilona stated that all the Tong family’s assets had nothing to do with Tong Qizhen and Tong Li.
The Tong family’s fixed assets belonged to Tong Jiaxuan and Tong Li.
As for all the liquidity, it would be managed by the fund company. After Tong Jiaxuan’s son returned from school, it would be handed over to him to control.
The only thing written on it that was beneficial to Tong Qizhen was to let Tong Qizhen continue to work in the Tong family’s company.
However, it was only for work and a fixed salary
Of course, there was another thing. Every time Old Mr. Tong died, Tong Qizhen could attend the memorial.
Other than that, there was nothing else related to Tong Qizhen.
“How… how is this possible? How could this be…”
Tong Jiaxuan shook his head crazily. He was unwilling to believe that the will that Tong Qizhen knelt down and begged Old Mr. Tong to write was actually like this.
Tong Li also recovered from her shock.
She opened her mouth, but could not think of what she should say now.
They had always thought that Tong Qizhen did not have any thoughts about the Tong family’s assets. Tong Qizhen was deliberately pretending for Old Mr. Tong to see.
However, before this, Tong Qizhen had no idea that Elder Tong could still come back from the dead. It was
impossible for him to even pretend about the will.
“This, this… How could this be… Why doesn’t he want anything…”
In that case, wouldn’t what he did today become a complete joke?
Tong Jiaxuan stammered, completely unable to accept the truth.
“Hmph!” Old Mr. Tong snorted coldly from the tip of his nose and said, “Did you see it clearly?! Qizhen begged me to make a will not because he wanted me to share the family assets with him, but to make you feel at ease and completely strip yourself away. You don’t want a single cent from our family!”
“I didn’t agree at first because I was going to give him the company he’s working for now.”
“But if I don’t agree, he will kneel on the ground and not get up. I really have no choice but to make a will!”
“He’s already done so much, yet you still think he wants to snatch your assets! How petty!”
Chapter 1189
Elder Tong took a deep breath and tried his best to calm his emotions before speaking again.
“I’m focused on politics and have no interest in business. A third of what our Tong family has now was earned by Qizhen!”
“You don’t have the talent for business. I asked him to take over the company, but you caused a ruckus in the family! You only stopped when Qizhen took the initiative to retreat!”
“As for you, Tong Li! You’re so young, yet you don’t learn from your father! Tong Li is so obedient, but you treat her as a thorn in your side!”
Tong Li said indignantly, “Didn’t Tong Li still ask you to pay for her tuition fees? Perhaps her father really… doesn’t have any intentions, but Tong Li might not!”
“You-“
Tong Qizhen didn’t care if he was slandered, but when his daughter was mentioned, he couldn’t help but say angrily, “Tong Li is the same as me. She has never thought about anything in the Tong family!”
“Really? Then why does Grandpa have to pay for the tuition fees?”
Old Mr. Tong waited for Tong Li to say, “I was the one who took the initiative to help her pay for Tong Li’s tuition fees. However, that was only the first semester. After that, she received a scholarship and returned to the 1st, Fox rooms with the scholarship. Now, in her second year, be it her living expenses or tuition fees, she earned them with the scholarship and tuition fees!”
“Moreover, every time Tong Li calls me grandfather, you’re always unhappy, so she called me granduncle instead. She’s already compromised to this extent. What else do you want her to do?”
Tong Li was shocked.
“How could this be… Why didn’t I know…”
“There are many things you don’t know! Although she’s studying at Insterimond University and your grandfather works at Insterimond, she hasn’t taken the initiative to look for me even once, afraid of disturbing my work!”
“…” Tong Li was speechless.
Old Mr. Tong closed his eyes. He was completely disappointed in this father and daughter.
“I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Since I’ve woken up and Fox isn’t dead anymore, this will is invalid!”
As Old Mr. Tong spoke, he went forward to take back the will and tore it into pieces in front of everyone.
Tong Jiaxuan looked at the torn will and instantly panicked.
“Dad…”
His eyes quickly darted around twice before he suddenly knelt on the ground with a regretful expression.
“Dad, I was wrong! I misunderstood Big Brother. Please forgive me this time!”
“Big Brother, I really know my mistake. I shouldn’t have judged a gentleman by my own narrow-mindedness. But please believe me. I won’t misunderstand like this again in the future. We’re still good brothers!”
Tong Qizhen’s lips moved, but in the end, his heart. softened.
He was a very kind person, so he could not help but speak up for Tong Jiaxuan.
“Dad, it looks like Jiaxuan really knows his mistake. Let’s give him a chance to turn over a new leaf. I believe that he will definitely be filial to you with me in the future.”
Tong Jiaxuan nodded vigorously. “That’s right, Dad. Big Brother is right. I really changed! Please forgive me this time!”
Seeing this, Tong Li also knelt down.
“Grandfather, I was wrong… I won’t treat Tong Li like I did in the past.”
Old Mr. Tong was silent for a moment. It was unknown what he thought of, but his eyes rolled twice before he spoke-
“It’s not that I can’t forgive you…”
Both of them were overjoyed and their eyes lit up.
However, in the next second, Old Mr. Tong said, “However, if you want me to forgive you, you have to promise me something.”
“Go ahead!”
“Go ahead!” the two of them said in unison.
Their eagerness made Old Mr. Tong frown.
However, he still suppressed his displeasure and said, “The condition is that from today onwards, all the matters in the family, big or small, other than me, will be decided by Qizhen. Moreover, when I really die in the future, all the assets in the family will belong to Qizhen. Of course, I will keep this house for you and your daughter to live in. As long as you agree to this condition, I will let bygones be bygones and pretend that nothing happened today.”
“That’s impossible!”
Tong Jiaxuan blurted out, “How can you give all your assets to Tong Qizhen! I don’t agree!”
“I don’t agree either! Dad and I are your biological sons and granddaughters… You can’t treat us like this.”
Tong Jiaxuan lost his rationality and said angrily, “Did Tong Qizhen say that when you were changing just now? I knew it. He’s ambitious and doesn’t have good intentions at all!”
Tong Li was stunned for a moment before she quickly tugged at Tong Jiaxuan’s sleeve to remind him not to say this.
However, it was already too late.
Old Mr. Tong sneered and said, “I was just testing you on purpose, but in the end, you revealed your true colors! Tong Jiaxuan, how many times are you going to disappoint me?”
Tong Jiaxuan’s brain exploded as if it had been struck by lightning.
He widened his eyes in shock and quickly corrected himself. “No, Dad, I-I didn’t mean that. I didn’t say anything bad about Big Brother. I-I was just too surprised… I’m willing. As long as you can forgive me and acknowledge me as your son, I don’t care about my assets!”
“Yes, yes!” Tong Li nodded vigorously and said, “Dad and I don’t care about these at all. Compared to those worldly possessions, you’re the most important.”
“Haha.”
Old Mr. Tong laughed when he heard that, but after laughing for two seconds, his face quickly darkened.
“I’ve already seen through you and your daughter.” “Dad…”
“Don’t call me Dad! I don’t have a son like you!”
Tong Jiaxuan was filled with regret.
Why didn’t he collapse just now?!
Now, his father was even angrier!
What should she do? What should she do to coax this old man?
Just as Tong Jiaxuan’s mind was quickly thinking of a solution, Old Mr. Tong took a deep breath as if he had made a major decision.
When Tong Jiaxuan saw Old Mr. Tong’s expression, a bad feeling arose in his heart.
In the next second, Old Mr. Tong said, “Listen carefully.
From now on, I won’t have a son like you anymore! I’ll sever our father-son relationship forever!”
“W-What?!”
Tong Jiaxuan’s eyes widened in shock.
He knew that his father was very angry and unhappy. After
all, he had almost killed him and buried him alive.
However, he did not expect his father to sever their father-son relationship!
“No! No!”
Tong Jiaxuan, who was kneeling on the ground, crawled towards Old Mr. Tong and hugged his thigh.
“Dad, don’t be like this. You can’t treat me like this! You can’t chase me out. I’m your biological son! I’m your only son. If you chase me out, who will support you in your old age? Who will be filial to you?!”
“Get lost!”
Old Mr. Tong used all his strength to kick Tong Jiaxuan a few meters away.
Chapter 1190
Tong Jiaxuan felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Old Mr. Tong said resolutely, “I’ve already made up my mind. It’s useless no matter what you say! Having a son like you is the greatest humiliation and regret in my life! Therefore, from today onwards, I don’t have a son like you anymore!”
“As for retirement, you don’t have to worry about it. Qizhen will naturally take care of me!”
“Also, you have a son. Fortunately, your son doesn’t look like you. Instead, he looks more like Qizhen.”
“The Tong family will have him and Qizhen in the future. That’s enough! I don’t need a piece of trash like you!”
Tong Jiaxuan was furious.
“Dad!!! You can’t do this to me! If Mom’s spirit in heaven finds out that you chased her own son out of the house, she will definitely be unhappy in the netherworld!”
“You still have the cheek to mention your mother? If it weren’t for the fact that she gave birth to a piece of trash like you back then, why would she bleed to death?”
“I-“
“Cut the crap and get lost. I don’t want to see you again for fifteen minutes! Don’t even think about coming back. Since I’ve said such a thing, it’s impossible for me to go back on my word!”
“No… no…”
Old Mr. Tong looked at the bodyguards.
“What are you waiting for? Chase him out!” “Yes…”
The bodyguards walked up to Tong Jiaxuan and said hesitantly, “Mr. Tong, please… Don’t make things difficult for us.
Tong Jiaxuan glared at the bodyguards.
“How dare you?!”
The bodyguards looked at each other. They were in a difficult position.
Old Mr. Tong said coldly, “If you don’t chase him out, get lost too!”
As soon as he said this, the bodyguards immediately stopped hesitating and became unyielding.
“Hurry up and leave, Mr. Tong. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude to you!”
“Alright! You guys are doing very well! Don’t regret it!”
Tong Jiaxuan gritted his teeth and said to Old Mr. Tong, “I’ll leave. I hope you won’t regret it! However, I want to take my personal belongings away!”
“You can take your clothes and things related to your work, but you’re not allowed to take anything else!”
Tong Jiaxuan gritted his teeth and quickly walked upstairs.
As the saying goes, when the King of Hell fights, the little ghosts suffer.
When Fox lit three incense sticks, many people stood on Tong Jiaxuan’s side, wanting to take the opportunity to leave a good impression in front of Tong Jiaxuan, the Tong Clan’s Patriarch.
However, now that they saw that Tong Jiaxuan was not acknowledged by Old Mr. Tong, those people instantly felt guilty and found excuses to leave.
Old Mr. Tong did not stop him and waited coldly for Tong Jiaxuan.
Soon, Tong Jiaxuan came down from upstairs. Similarly, Fox also came down with two huge suitcases.
“Wait!”
Old Mr. Tong stopped Tong Jiaxuan. “I want to check if there’s anything from my Tong family in your luggage.”
Tong Jiaxuan was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot.
“Do you have to do this? Do you think I’ll take anything from home with me? My clothes are all in this suitcase!”
Tong Qizhen couldn’t help but say, “Dad, there are still many guests at home. Don’t be like this… If there’s anything, we can talk after the guests leave. There’s really no need to do this in front of everyone.”
“Don’t say anything! You’re good at everything, but you’re too soft-hearted! From today onwards, I’ll teach you well what it means to be soft-hearted and hard-hearted. Otherwise, if I really die one day, the Tong family might fall to such a state because of your soft-heartedness.”
Tong Qizhen lowered his head in shame.
Old Mr. Tong spoke again. “Did you hear that? Open the suitcase!”
“Damn it!” Tong Jiaxuan threw one of the suitcases on the ground angrily and said, “Didn’t you want to check?! Then you should check enough!”
Old Mr. Tong turned his head. The bodyguards understood and went forward to open the suitcase.
When the suitcase was opened, it was filled with clothes and ties. There was nothing else.
“Master, no…” The bodyguards reported.
Tong Jiaxuan sneered and said, “Are you satisfied now? I really didn’t expect that my biological son is actually such an unbearable person in your eyes!”
Old Mr. Tong frowned and suspected that he had made a mistake.
Still, he said, “The other suitcase hasn’t been checked!”
“You… Are you done? Do you have to humiliate me to this extent?!”
Old Mr. Tong sneered and said, “In any case, we’ve already checked. One check is still a check. Two checks are still a check. There’s no difference!”
“Impossible! I won’t let you humiliate me a second time!”
Tong Jiaxuan picked up two suitcases and was about to leave.
“Stop him!”
Following Elder Tong’s order, the bodyguards immediately rushed forward to stop Tong Jiaxuan.
“Get lost!”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Tong. Please cooperate with us! We’ll be done with the inspection very soon. We’ll also help you restore your luggage.”
“Piss off!”
Tong Jiaxuan was extremely uncooperative. This allowed Old Mr. Tong to see some clues.
“Grab him and check his other suitcase!”
“Yes!”
“Let go of me! How dare you…”
Tong Jiaxuan struggled with all his might, but he was quickly pressed to the ground by the bodyguards.
Also in Fox, the suitcase was opened.
The bodyguard opened the things inside one by one. Other than some clothes, there was only an ordinary stone that didn’t look special.
When Melody Fox saw this scene, his eyes suddenly widened.
That rock… was the same thing as the rockery that she had discovered was amiss.
Why would this thing appear in Tong Jiaxuan’s luggage?
Could it be…
Melody Fox opened his mouth, but he swallowed the words he wanted to say. His expression quickly calmed down.
The bodyguards looked at each other and stood up to say to Old Mr. Tong, “Master, there’s nothing… There’s only a stone that doesn’t look very valuable.”
Old Mr. Tong took a look and confirmed that it was an ordinary stone. He felt a little awkward.
“In that case, let him go!”
Only then was Tong Jiaxuan released.
He picked up the stone and quickly stuffed it into his suitcase. He gritted his teeth and waited for Old Mr. Tong.
“Don’t regret your decision today! Since you don’t treat me as your son, I won’t treat you as my father anymore!”
Veins popped up on Old Mr. Tong’s forehead.
“What are you waiting for? Pack your things and get From now on, don’t ever step into this house again!”
“Fine! Don’t regret it!”
Tong Jiaxuan pulled two suitcases and strode out.
lost!
Melody Fox tilted his head and whispered to Aaron Berg, “Send someone to follow him.”
Aaron Berg did not understand, but he immediately nodded and left silently.
In the living room.
Tong Li was extremely anxious.
She didn’t know whether to follow him or not.
After thinking about it, she still could not keep up with Tong Jiaxuan’s footsteps. Instead, she came in front of Old Mr. Tong and knelt down pitifully.
“Grandpa, please don’t chase me away. I don’t know anything. If you chase me away, you’ll force me to death… I want to follow Dad. I want to learn how to be a person and learn how to be a new person. Please give me a chance to turn over a new leaf!”
Chapter 1191
As Tong Li spoke, she kowtowed heavily to Old Mr. Tong.
Tong Qizhen had watched Tong Li grow up. He often hugged Tong Li when she was younger.
In addition, his own daughter, Tong Li, was the same age as Tong Li, so his heart softened again. “Dad, Jiaxuan did something wrong today, but Li Li is still young. Please give her a chance. Such a young child doesn’t have the ability to survive in society at all. If you let her leave like this, she might go down the wrong path. I think you definitely don’t want to see Li Li become like that, right?”
“Dad, Lili might have been led astray by Jiaxuan
previously. I believe that this child is not a bad person. If you’re willing to keep her, I’ll teach her well and guide her to the right path.”
Old Mr. Tong sighed.
Tong Li was still young after all. Perhaps there was still hope.
Coupled with the intergenerational relationship, Old Mr. Tong finally changed his mind and decided to give her a chance.
“Alright, I won’t chase you away, but from now on, you’re not allowed to be as domineering as before. You have to learn well from Qizhen and learn from Xiao Li. Work hard to repeat this year and get into a proper university…”
How could Tong Li not agree?
She nodded her head like she was pounding garlic, promising and swearing.
“I’ll definitely study hard and learn from Xiao Li. I’ll work hard to get into university Insterimond.”
“You… I don’t expect you to get into any undergraduate school. Even if you can get past the third-tier college mark,
I can hold a banquet for you for three days…”
“I won’t let you down, Grandpa!”
“That better be the case! However, compared to grades, the most important thing is to be a person. I won’t blame you if you can’t get into university, but if you don’t be a good person… I won’t give you another chance. Don’t think that I don’t know about the ridiculous things you did in Jinxiu Town in Insterimond! In the future, you’re not allowed to go to bars or anything like that. You’re also not allowed to do anything arrogant and despotic. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being heartless as a grandfather and letting you leave with your father!”
Tong Li nodded vigorously. “I understand, Grandpa. I’ll be good from now on.”
When Old Mr. Tong saw this, he did not say anything else.
In any case, Tong Li’s performance in the future would determine whether she could stay in the Tong family.
Fortunately, Tong Li’s biological brother was different from them.
Old Mr. Tong sighed and said, “Forget it! Let’s not talk about it anymore. Go upstairs now and reflect on yourself. Write a 10,000-word self-reflection letter for me.”
“I understand, Grandpa.”
Tong Li nodded and quickly went upstairs as if she was afraid that Old Mr. Tong would react.
However, when she passed by Melody Fox’s Fox, she subconsciously took a deep look at Melody Fox.
After Tong Li went upstairs, Old Mr. Tong cupped his hands at everyone.
“Everyone, I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you today. Something like this happened to my Tong family. I really didn’t accumulate any evil deeds in my previous life!”
“Thank you for coming over today and sending me on my last journey. You’ve also helped me a lot. I’ll definitely visit you another day to thank you!”
“Now, please go back first. However, please don’t tell anyone about what happened today…”
Everyone agreed.
Then, they bid farewell to each other.
Melody Fox was about to leave with Maria Fox when Old Mr. Tong stopped them.
“Please wait a moment.”
Maria Fox looked at Old Mr. Tong and said, “Old Tong, is there anything else?”
“I want to formally thank you again!”
Maria Fox waved his hand. “We’re friends. Friends don’t talk about such things. If you want to thank someone, just thank my granddaughter. Oh right, I haven’t introduced her yet. Her name is Melody Fox.”
Old Mr. Tong nodded and looked at Melody Fox in praise.
“Little Miao, thank you for saving my life today. I have nothing to repay you with. In the future, if you need anything from me, Fox, just ask!”
As Old Mr. Tong spoke, he instructed Tong Qizhen to take out a sandalwood box from his house.
“This is a small token of my appreciation. It’s my family’s heirloom. Please accept it!”
When the box was opened, there was a thumb ring inside.
The thumb ring was embedded with gemstones.
Melody Fox did not know much about this ring. Just as he was about to refuse, Ken Swanson suddenly said, “This is… Did you buy it from Pearly Antiques?”
“Yes. It was bought at an auction many years ago. I originally planned to pass it down for generations, but now, I want to give it to Little Miao as a token of my gratitude.”
Melody Fox glanced at Ken Swanson and stopped rejecting him.
“Thank you, Old Mr. Tong.”
“You’re welcome. This is what I should do. It’s just a small gift. I’m very happy that you don’t mind. However, I’m really dumbfounded that you have such shocking medical skills at such a young age! In this world, it seems that only Hua Tuo can bring the dead back to life.”
Melody Fox quickly said, “Mr. Tong, you flatter me. It’s not that my medical skills are as good as Hua Tuo’s to be able to revive people. It’s just that the illness you have is rather special.”
Old Mr. Tong was a little curious.
“Oh? I wonder what illness I have? Ever since I felt unwell, I’ve seen many doctors, but they were all helpless. That’s why I returned to my hometown to wait for death…”
Melody Fox explained, “The illness you have is actually not an illness, but a poison. This poison is called the Blood Smothering Poison.”
“Poisoned?!” Old Mr. Tong widened his eyes in surprise and asked, “I’m not sick, but poisoned?”
“That’s right!”
Tong Qizhen was surprised for a moment before he hurriedly asked, “Who dares to poison you? Dad, did you offend anyone in Insterimond?”
Old Mr. Tong smiled bitterly.
“Who can I offend? At my age, I’ve been lying flat for the past few years. I’m just waiting to retire. It’s impossible for me to offend anyone.”
However, he was also very curious as to who would poison him.
Hence, Old Mr. Tong asked, “Little Miao, can you tell me what the Blood Smothering Poison you mentioned is?”
“Mhm.” Melody Fox nodded and introduced the Blood Smothering Poison.
“The poison of blood suffocation can make one’s body deficient day by day and make one vomit blood non-stop. When the poison takes effect at its strongest Fox seconds, the human heart will stop beating and breathing will stop. However, even if the heart stops beating, the chest will still heat up.”
“It’s precisely from this that I deduced that you might have been poisoned by the Blood Smothering Poison.”
“Therefore, I used nine-line acupuncture to force the poison out of your body. Then, I donated 11 pounds of crocuses to make a medicinal soup and soaked you in it.”
“The donation of the red flower has a very powerful effect on reviving blood. Moreover, it’s the nemesis of the Blood Smothering Poison. That’s why you woke up and came back.”
“Therefore, I didn’t have the ability to revive from the dead. Instead, I used the right treatment method on the right Fox.”
Old Mr. Tong stroked his beard.
“I see…”
As he spoke, he suddenly thought of the recent rumors about Insterimond.
Hence, he asked, “Little Miao, I’ve never heard of the blood-suffocating poison you mentioned before. But I heard that recently, malicious doctors. Malicious doctors have appeared in Insterimond. I wonder if it has anything to do with my illness?”
Chapter 1192
Hearing the words “malicious doctors”, everyone except Ken Swanson and Melody Fox felt a chill run down their spines.
However, Melody Fox shook his head.
“The Blood Smothering Poison has nothing to do with malicious doctors.”
“Why do you say that?”
“Because the poison came from Miaojiang.”
“Miaojiang?!” Old Mr. Tong’s eyes widened. “But I’ve never known anyone from Miaojiang.”
Melody Fox and Ken Swanson looked at each other. Ken Swanson said, “Elder Tong, if you’re willing to believe us, please leave this matter to us to investigate. I promise I’ll get to the bottom of this within a month.”
Elder Tong narrowed his eyes.
“Are you… the Swanson family’s son?”
“Yes, my name is Ken Swanson.”
Because Elder Tong was about to retire, he did not participate in any battles in the business world before this.
Elder Tong was silent for a moment before he said, “I don’t have any dealings with the Swanson family, but for Little Miao’s sake, I’m willing to believe you. If you can
investigate this matter thoroughly, consider it as me owing you a huge favor.”
“Thank you, Old Mr. Tong.”
Melody Fox Shi Fox said, “Elder Tong, if you don’t mind, can I take a walk around your house to see if there’s anything hidden that can give you the poison of blood suffocation?”
“Of course! Please investigate carefully.”
“I will.”
Elder Tong sighed and said, “My body hasn’t recovered yet. I’m a little tired now and want to rest. If there’s anything you need my cooperation with, let Qizhen bring you guys along.”
“Alright, Elder Tong.”
Elder Tong nodded and nodded gratefully at Maria Fox before going upstairs to rest.
However, in order to facilitate Melody Fox’s search, he slept in the guest room on the second floor.
Melody Fox told Maria Fox to go back first while he and Ken Swanson stayed behind.
The first thing she and Ken Swanson checked was naturally Old Mr. Tong’s room.
After searching for a while, Melody Fox found some fluorescent powder on the windowsill.
The fluorescence was very weak. If one did not especially look for it, no one would notice it.
Unlike the fluorescent powder on the rockery, there was another ingredient in it.
Melody Fox smelled a trace of the Gu worm.
Melody Fox narrowed his eyes. “As expected, it was made by Praise Liu and the others. This fluorescent powder is the same as the fluorescent powder on the rockery, but it’s made of the poisonous blood of a Gu worm. The composition of the rockery will affect the immune system of the human body. At Fox, when the immune system is on the verge of collapse, the poisonous blood can take advantage of the opportunity to enter the human body. As the person breathes, it will enter the internal organs. Elder Tong’s blood suffocation poison was caused by this.”
Coincidentally, he returned at Fox, Aaron Berg.
He reported, “After Tong Jiaxuan left, he booked a flight to Insterimond and will take off tomorrow. He’s currently in a three-star hotel in Jinxiu Town. Our people are guarding nearby, and we’re monitoring his every move.”
Melody Fox narrowed his eyes.
“To Insterimond? Looks like my guess was right.”
Ken Swanson thought of Tong Jiaxuan’s luggage and contacted Melody Fox to ask, “Are you suspecting that Mr. Tong almost died because he praised Liu and Tong Jiaxuan for joining forces?”
“Yes! However, it still depends on who Tong Jiaxuan is going to Insterimond to meet and what he’s going to do. Only then can I be 100% sure of my guess.”
Ken Swanson instructed Aaron Berg, “When he leaves for Insterimond, withdraw your men and follow him personally. Remember, don’t let them notice that you’re being followed.”
“Yes, don’t worry about my tracking technique.”
“Yeah.”
Ken Swanson nodded slightly. Seeing that Melody Fox had already collected the powder, he said, “Should we tell Old Mr. Tong about this discovery?”
“There’s no need for Fox for the time being. It won’t be too late to tell Elder Tong when we have conclusive evidence that these things were instigated by someone. Let him recuperate in peace for now.”
As Melody Fox spoke, he took out a pen and paper to write a prescription.
After going downstairs, she planned to hand the prescription to Tong Qizhen.
Tong Qizhen was leading the servants to clean up the funeral.
When he saw Melody Fox coming down the stairs, he quickly greeted him respectfully.
“Miss Fox, you’ve worked hard. Did you find anything?”
Melody Fox shook his head and said, “For the time being, Fox doesn’t have any. I reckon that the person who
poisoned him might have destroyed all the evidence. Oh right, take this prescription. Take the medicine according to the prescription on it. In less than a month, Elder Tong’s body will recover.”
Tong Qizhen nodded. After solemnly putting away the prescription, he talked to Melody Fox about another matter.
“Miss Fox, is it possible that the poison you mentioned is not in this house at all?”
“What do you mean?”
Tong Qizhen said, “My father’s only hobby is to eat delicacies. When his health deteriorated, he went to Insterimond restaurants to eat every day. Do you think there’s a problem with the food in that restaurant?”
Melody Fox naturally knew which restaurant Tong Qizhen was talking about.
It was the restaurant where Kua Rangliu and Li Ming had treated them to a meal at Fox hours before they left.
The fluorescent powder on the rockery was the reason why Elder Tong’s immunity had deteriorated.
However, before the matter was completely confirmed, Melody Fox pretended not to know and asked Tong
Qizhen for the name of the restaurant.
“We’ll investigate this restaurant. Please stay close to Room Fox and protect Old Mr. Tong.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Dad,” Tong Qizhen said as he mentioned Tong Li.
“Xiao Li told me that she invited you over. She also said that you helped her a lot at Fox PM in Insterimond.”
Melody Fox knew that Tong Qizhen was talking about the “Royal Dignity Perfume” incident at the mall.
She smiled and said, “You’re welcome. Xiao Li is my friend’s friend, which means she’s my friend. It’s nothing.”
“No, no, no. I’ll always remember your kindness.”
After Tong Qizhen finished speaking, he handed over a bank card.
“This is all my money. It’s not much, but it’s a token of my appreciation. Please accept it.”
“I’ve already accepted Elder Tong’s thank-you gift. You should keep this yourself. Xiao Li still has two years to graduate, and she needs money. This money is more useful to you than to me.”
Tong Qizhen was so touched that his eyes turned red.
“Miss Fox, you’re really a kind person… Don’t worry, Maria Fox lives in Silken Town. I’ll visit her often.”
“Thank you very much.”
“Yes! This is what I should do!”
“By the way,” Melody Fox said, “Don’t get too close to Tong Jiaxuan for the time being. I’m afraid he’ll lose his mind and attack you.”
However, Tong Qizhen trusted Tong Jiaxuan very much.
“Although Jiaxuan is muddle-headed, I believe that he’s not a bad person by nature. He won’t be muddle-headed to this extent.”
Melody Fox opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing.
Old Mr. Tong was right. Tong Qizhen was just too soft-hearted.
This was a good thing, but it was also fatal.
Chapter 1193
Although he didn’t want to admit it, this was the world.
‘You’re kind, so you deserve to be bullied.’
Just like her in her previous life.
However, everyone had their own fate. Melody Fox believed that one day, Tong Qizhen would understand everything and be enlightened.
On this day, the truth about Tong Jiaxuan and Kua Rangliu collaborating to harm Elder Tong was revealed.
At that point, Tong Qizhen believed that Tong Jiaxuan would no longer say things like “Tong Jiaxuan’s nature is not bad”.
Melody Fox did not continue to persuade him. After saying goodbye to Tong Qizhen, he left the Tong family with Ken Swanson.
On the way, Melody Fox frowned and looked like he was deep in thought.
Ken Swanson could not help but pinch her cheek and ask, “What are you thinking about? Your two eyebrows are almost connected. If you keep frowning, you won’t be beautiful with wrinkles.”
Melody Fox glared at Ken Swanson and said, “You’re not wrinkled or beautiful. Didn’t you say that you don’t care about these skins and that you like my heart?”
“… You’re right.”
When talking to a woman, don’t be reasonable. Just admit your mistake.
This was the experience of Ken Swanson after marriage.
Melody Fox stopped joking and said, “There’s something I can’t figure out.”
“Hmm? Tell me, I’ll help you analyze it.”
“I don’t understand. Why would Kuang Rangliu poison Old Mr. Tong? Her target is the Swanson Group, but Old Mr. Tong has nothing to do with the Swanson Group. He’s indeed a high-level politician in Insterimond, but from the information, he’s never been involved in the business world. Even the company that Tong Qizhen from Jinxiu Town started is just an ordinary company that hasn’t gone public. The industry he does is still embroidery and tourism. It has nothing to do with the Swanson family.”
Ken Swanson also revealed a strange expression after pondering for a moment.
“Indeed, there’s really no need for them to deal with Elder Tong. Before today, no matter if it was me or Ulric Swanson, we didn’t have any contact with Elder Tong. Moreover, Elder Tong is about to retire in the next two years. As a person who’s about to retire, he’s actually not much help in seizing the position of the Swanson Group’s successor.”
Melody Fox nodded and said, “That’s what I couldn’t figure out just now.”
“Perhaps, they have some personal grudge? Or perhaps, Tong Jiaxuan promised Liu Rang some benefits, so he took advantage of the situation to make a move…”
Before Melody Fox could say anything, Ken Swanson denied his own guess.
“There shouldn’t be any personal grudges. The information is clear. There’s no connection between the Kuorang and Tong families. It’s unlikely that the Tong family’s Xuan will praise Liu Rong for benefits. It’s impossible for the Tong family to be interested in such a small thing.”
Melody Fox nodded and said, “That’s why I find it strange. There’s no reason for Praising Liu to attack the Tong family.”
Ken Swanson suddenly raised his eyelids and said, “Melody, is there a possibility that our entry point was wrong from the beginning?”
“What do you mean?”
“What I mean is that we might have been wrong about Kuangliang’s purpose from the beginning, so much so that all our subsequent guesses went astray.”
Melody Fox said in confusion, “But other than helping your uncle win the Swanson Group and avenging her own clansmen, what other motives could she have?”
Ken Swanson shook his head and said, “I haven’t thought of this for the time being. However, this is also a direction. When we return, we can discuss it properly.”
“Yes! What you said makes sense. Otherwise, there’s really no way to explain this matter.”
“We might be able to get an answer from Tong Jiaxuan.”
Melody Fox smiled and said, “Then I hope that this little fish finds a big fish as soon as possible so that we can catch all the big fish in one go.”
By the time Fox returned to his hometown of the Fox family, the sky had completely darkened.
Melody Fox walked to the door but hesitated to enter.
In the Tong Family’s Fox, although Maria Fox introduced her as her granddaughter, everything became uncertain when she returned home.
Ken Swanson looked at Melody Fox. Just as he was about to persuade Melody Fox not to be nervous, Fox’s voice sounded.
“Why are you standing at the door? We don’t need a door god at home.”
Melody Fox was stunned. He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice.
She saw Maria Fox standing on the balcony on the second floor, looking down at her.
Melody Fox blushed.
“Grandma…”
“Come on up. I told Hattie Meyer to bring dinner up. It’s cooler to eat upstairs.”
Maria Fox’s words were like a stabilizing force that calmed Melody Fox’s uneasy heart.
The two of them went upstairs and saw that the open-air balcony was filled with green plants. A small glass round table was filled with home-cooked dishes.
Ken Swanson greeted Maria Fox first.
“Grandma Fox, long time no see. Are you still healthy?”
Maria Fox nodded. “The King of Hell is still unwilling to accept me. I’m not going to die for the time being. Don’t just stand there. Hurry up and sit down. You should be hungry.”
Melody Fox took the opportunity to sit beside Maria Fox and called out weakly, “Grandma.”
“Okay,” Maria Fox replied. “Let’s not talk about anything else for now. Let’s eat first.”
“Yeah.”
Melody Fox picked up the fork and felt relieved.
On the other end, Hattie Meyer rubbed his hands. nervously and said, “I’m not good at cooking. Please forgive me…”
Ken Swanson waved his hand. “It looks delicious.”
When Hattie Meyer saw that Ken Swanson was not so difficult to talk to, his heart relaxed. He retreated to the side and did not disturb their conversation.
Just as the three of them were almost done eating, Fox seconds later, Maria Fox broke the silence.
“It’s all thanks to the two of you and Fox that Old Tong appeared today. Otherwise, I’m afraid he would have been doomed.”
Melody Fox was about to speak when Maria Fox spoke again, “Ken Swanson, I asked Hattie Meyer to buy watermelons. They’re in the kitchen. Go down and cut some watermelons. We’ll talk while eating watermelons.”
As smart as Ken Swanson was, he knew that Maria Fox wanted to say something to Melody Fox. He got up tactfully and went downstairs to cut the watermelon.
After Ken Swanson left, Melody Fox looked at Maria Fox and asked directly, “Grandma, what do you want to tell me?”
Maria Fox did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked, “How have you been recently?”
“Everything’s fine. Ken Swanson is very good to me.”
Maria Fox sighed and said, “Initially, I wanted Ulric Swanson to marry you. Who knew that later on, you would actually be with Ken Swanson… Forget it, it’s all fate. It’s good that he treats you well. I can tell today that he’s indeed very protective of you. I’m relieved.”
Melody Fox’s eyes reddened.
“Grandma, are you willing to forgive me?”
Maria Fox said with a complicated gaze, “What forgiveness? It has already happened. the Fox family… can’t go back to the old Fox family. Even if I continue to blame you and blame you for all of this, what can I change? In the end, Russell Fox has let you down. It was also my inaction that allowed him to raise you in the countryside that led to today’s situation.”
Chapter 1194
Melody Fox’s eyes lit up and asked, “You don’t blame me anymore?”
Maria Fox smiled bitterly.
“I do blame you. At my age, I only want to see the harmony and stability of the family. I’m not willing to pierce through that layer of window paper and mess everything up…”
you down “But what right do I have to blame you? We let first. We made you unable to feel the warmth of a family since you were born and abandoned you in the countryside.”
“Even when I asked you to come back later, I hoped that you could marry the Swanson family and support the Fox family.”
“Furthermore… If it weren’t for you, I would have died by Yolanda Fox’s hands.”
Melody Fox subconsciously grabbed Maria Fox’s hand.
“Grandma, with me around, you will definitely live a long life. I was inconsiderate before. I did plan to make the Fox family fall apart, but I-I really never wanted to hurt you…”
“I know, I know… I’m hiding in this hometown because I can’t get past the barrier in my heart. It has nothing to do with whether I blame you or not. It’s just that what I’ve always insisted on is suddenly gone. I can’t accept it.”
“It’s all my fault, Grandma…” Melody Fox has tons of Fox bloodshot eyes.
If it happened again, she would still choose revenge, but she would definitely choose a better method that would not hurt Maria Fox.
Maria Fox held her hand.
“You’re not in the wrong, child. It’s our fault. We shouldn’t have treated you like this from the beginning. Poor you.
You were sent to that remote mountain ditch without even knowing how to speak. You must have suffered a lot to do what you’re doing now. If your mother was alive and saw you suffer so much, how heartbroken would she be…”
At the mention of Jiang Wilona, Melody Fox could no longer suppress his emotions. He threw himself into Maria Fox’s arms and cried.
Maria Fox was also crying. His eyes were filled with heartache and regret.
If they had not sent Melody Fox to the countryside if Russell Fox had not cheated on her during Jiang Wilona’s pregnancy and brought the pregnant Yolanda Fox into the house not long after Jiang Wilona’s death, why would Melody Fox come back to take revenge on the Fox family?
Moreover, according to Fox, who had broken Russell Fox, it seemed that Jiang Wilona’s death on the operating table was also his and Yolanda Fox’s doing.
If that was the truth, even without Melody Fox’s revenge, the heavens would still come to take them down!
It was all their fault!
On the balcony on the second floor.
Ken Swanson, who came up with the watermelons, saw this scene and silently brought Hattie Meyer downstairs again. After a while, the two of them stopped crying.
Maria Fox wiped the tears from the corners of Melody Fox’s eyes. His expression slowly became solemn.
“Melody, since you’re here, there’s something… something I wanted to bring into the coffin. Something I have to tell you.”
Melody Fox nodded and said, “Go ahead.”
Maria Fox held her hand tightly and said, “Promise me first that you’ll be mentally prepared.”
“Yes, I’m mentally prepared. Just say it!”
“You have to promise me one more thing.”
“What?”
“Regardless of whether what I said is a coincidence or something else, please spare your father’s life for the sake of my old face. I’m not asking you not to destroy the Fox family. I just hope that you can spare his life. Even if I die, I can rest in peace.”
Melody Fox opened his mouth slightly in shock.
What did Maria Fox want to say to her? Why did he make it sound so serious?
At this moment, Melody Fox finally mentally prepared himself.
“Go ahead…”
“Promise me first that you’ll spare his life no matter what.”
Maria Fox’s expression was extremely solemn. It was a solemn expression that he had never had before.
After a moment of silence, Melody Fox finally nodded.
She had indeed thought of taking Russell Fox’s life, but Maria Fox…
Forget it. As long as he took everything from Russell Fox, living might not be as comfortable as dying.
Hence, Melody Fox finally said, “Alright, I promise you.” Maria Fox was finally relieved.
Previously, she had been avoiding Melody Fox and was unwilling to answer her calls. Firstly, she was afraid of hearing any bad news about the Fox family. Secondly, she felt guilty towards Melody Fox. Thirdly, she could not bring herself to tell Melody Fox not to continue taking revenge on the Fox family.
However, since Melody Fox had come looking for him, there should be an end to everything.
“Tell me, what do you want to tell me?” Melody Fox asked curiously.
There was a hint of nervousness mixed in with curiosity.
Maria Fox let out a long sigh and said, “It’s about your background…”
Melody Fox was shocked.
“What do you mean by that? Am I not his biological daughter?”
Maria Fox shook his head and said, “I don’t know either. I’m just guessing. When your mother was pregnant, the entire family was very happy. After your mother confirmed that she was pregnant, they immediately held a wedding and married your mother.”
“You were born in less than ten months. Moreover, Russell knew your mother. It’s only been less than nine months since Fox. Logically speaking, you should have been born prematurely, but looking at you as Fox, you were completely born in full term.”
“However, because your mother died on the production table, I had nowhere to ask, and I couldn’t mention it in front of your father.”
“You know, if he thinks of this, he’ll go crazy. He might even throw you away or even kill you.”
“This is also why I didn’t stop him and Yolanda Fox from sending you to the countryside to raise you…”
Melody Fox’s mouth fell open. It took a while for him to digest this news.
She really hated Russell Fox.
She hated him for doing that to her mother and causing her death.
She also hated him for abandoning her in the countryside for so many years.
However, she had never suspected that she might not be Russell Fox’s biological daughter.
Melody Fox’s head was buzzing as if countless bombs had exploded in her head.
She didn’t know what expression she should be wearing now. She didn’t know if she should be happy or angry.
She was completely confused.
Her world seemed to have turned into chaos.
Maria Fox looked at Melody Fox’s reaction and was not in a hurry. He just waited for her to recover.
After a while, Melody Fox finally found his voice.
“This matter… Have you mentioned it to Russell Fox?”
Maria Fox shook his head. “No, I originally planned to bring this uncertain secret into the coffin. But ever since you came back, I have indeed treated you as my biological granddaughter. No matter what the truth is, you are still my granddaughter.”
Melody Fox bit her lip and nodded. “No matter what, you’re still my biological grandmother.”
Maria Fox nodded with red eyes.
“Go back after you eat the watermelon. Go back and find the truth… However, you don’t have to tell me the truth. To me, it doesn’t matter if you’re Russell’s biological daughter or not.
Chapter 1195
Melody Fox’s eyes were burning.
“Got it, Grandma. I-I won’t tell you.”
“Mhm.” Maria Fox smiled bitterly.
If only…
If only she had insisted on keeping Melody Fox back then. Things wouldn’t have turned out like this.
However, who knows what the best way to do it is?
As the saying goes, a blessing in disguise was a blessing in disguise.
What if she had kept Melody Fox back then? What if Yolanda Fox had raised her into a cripple? Or… could he have just found a way to get rid of Melody Fox?
If so, for Melody Fox, it was better to grow up in the countryside.
“By the way, the Justalion Group… was founded by your mother. If you want to take it back one day, I won’t stop you.”
“Yes.” Melody Fox nodded. He did not hide it from Maria Fox. “I do have this plan…”
“If there’s anything you need my help with, just tell me. These things don’t belong to our Fox family anyway.”
Melody Fox could not help but look at Maria Fox in a new light.
For a Maria Fox person to have such thoughts was already much better than most people.
“By the way…” Maria Fox stopped smiling and said, “I’m going back to Silverlake in a few days.”
Melody Fox was stunned for a moment. Then, he said happily, “What Fox? I’ll come and pick you up at Fox? Or you can just go back with me. You’ll stay in Jinxiu Town. It’s high mountains and far rivers. If anything happens, I won’t be able to appear before you immediately. I’ll be more at ease if I go back.”
Although Russell Fox was ridiculous, he had nothing to say about Maria Fox.
Maria Fox said melancholically, “Do you know why I want to go back?”
“Could it be that you’re not used to being here, so you want to go back?”
“No.” Maria Fox shook his head and said, “This is where I grew up. Compared to Silverlake, who is scheming everywhere, I’m more comfortable and used to staying here. There’s no business competition here, no mutual deception. Everyone is a very simple person… The air here is much cleaner than Silverlake. Therefore, compared to Silverlake, I prefer this place.”
“Then you…?”
Maria Fox’s eyes turned cold. “Russell Fox called me two days ago. He said that he wanted to include Yolanda Fox in the family tree and move him into the ancestral grave.”
Melody Fox suddenly raised his eyelids.
“How dare he mention this to you?! Is he crazy? You almost died at the hands of Yolanda Fox.”
“Hmph!”
Maria Fox snorted from the tip of his nose and said, “Although I don’t know the exact reason, I think it has something to do with Mabel Fox. Mabel Fox must have said something to make him dare to say such a thing.”
Melody Fox pursed his lips. He thought about how Jiang Wilona was not buried in his ancestral grave either. Instead, he was buried in Silverlake’s cemetery. However, Yolanda Fox, a third party, had to be moved into his ancestral grave. He felt very indignant for Jiang Wilona.
How could a married wife not be buried in her ancestral grave, but a third party be buried in her ancestral grave?
Wasn’t this disgusting?
However, on second thought, would Mom really want to
bury someone like Russell Fox in the Fox family’s ancestral grave?
That might not be the case!
But she was certain of one thing. She would not allow Yolanda Fox to be buried in the Fox family’s ancestral grave.
Whether it was because of her hatred for Yolanda Fox, or because Yolanda Fox tried to poison Maria Fox, or to make Mabel Fox feel unsatisfied… she would not allow it.
Melody Fox asked, “What did you say after he said that?”
“Of course, I won’t agree. But I’m worried about him. What if he acts first reports later and directly brings Yolanda Fox’s ashes over? Therefore, I have to resolve the source of the matter and cut off his thoughts. I also have to cut off Mabel Fox’s thoughts!”
Although it was a fact that Mabel Fox was her biological granddaughter, with a mother like Yolanda Fox. Mabel Fox had long been led astray.
If possible, she hoped that she could lead Mabel Fox back to the right path.
Melody Fox guessed what Maria Fox meant.
However, she knew that a dog could not change its habit of eating sh*t. Even Mabel Fox could not change her bad habit.
The human heart was crooked. It was useless no matter how much he tried to correct it.
Just then, Fox, Ken Swanson, and Hattie Meyer carried two pots of cut watermelons up.
The watermelon was bright red and juicy. When he took a bite, a sweet taste spread in his mouth.
It was the smell of summer.
However, summer was about to pass.
Melody Fox felt a little emotional.
“It’s early summer when I just got back. It’s almost the end of summer now. Room Fox passes by really quickly.”
Maria Fox narrowed his eyes and smiled. “You’re so young. Why are you still lamenting that Room Fox passed so quickly? When you reach my age, you can lament again!”
Melody Fox chuckled, but his eyes were still red from crying.
“By the way,” Maria Fox asked Ken Swanson, “Has your grandmother fully recovered?”
“Yes, I’ve recovered. I even went on a trip a while ago.”
“That’s good. She knows how to live better than I do.”
Melody Fox said, “If you want to travel, I’ll bring you out when Room Fox is empty. Bring Margaret along too. You sisters can go and play together.”
Maria Fox waved his hand. “Forget it. I’m old and can’t do it anymore. I’m fine now.”
As she spoke, she asked about their plan to have children.
Melody Fox’s cheeks were burning.
“It’s still early. Fox hasn’t thought of it yet.”
Ken Swanson said. “I’ll listen to her. If she wants to have a child, we’ll have a child.”
Maria Fox could not help but look at Ken Swanson seriously.
“Brother Ken, you’re different from what I imagined.”
Ken Swanson could not help but laugh. “It’s very normal. In the eyes of many people, I’m probably a demon who commits all kinds of evil.”
Melody Fox simply said, “Grandma, Ulric Swanson’s leg was not made by Ken Swanson.”
Maria Fox raised his eyebrows and said, “Since you didn’t do it, why don’t you deny it?”
Ken Swanson said bluntly, “Those who believe in me naturally believe in me. Those who don’t believe in me, no matter how much I deny or explain, it’s just a waste of breath. So why explain?”
Maria Fox shook his head in disapproval.
“You didn’t do it. You have to say it. People who don’t believe in you aren’t important, but you don’t have to with suffer and let those who want to frame you get away it. Your silence will only make those who do feel happier. So the next time someone talks about this, you have to explain, deny, and tell the truth.”
Ken Swanson was silent for a moment before nodding solemnly. “Alright, I understand.”
“Yeah.”
Maria Fox nodded in satisfaction.
After chatting for a while more, the night gradually deepened.
Maria Fox did not stand on ceremony and directly chased them away. “I’m too lazy to clean up the room with you. You can go back directly.”
Melody Fox was about to speak when his phone suddenly rang.
She took out her phone and looked at the caller ID. It was Tong Li.
Melody Fox thought that Tong Li was calling to thank him. However, as soon as the call was picked up, Tong Li’s anxious voice came from the other end.
