Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 345 Generally I Don’t Tell Him_1
Chapter 345: Chapter 345 Generally I Don’t Tell Him_1
Hao Xiangyu had never met Shi Qianshan, but he knew who deserved to be respectfully called "Old Sir Shi" by Grandpa, so he didn’t dare to hesitate for a moment and scurried over, falling to the ground with a thud.
"Old Sir Shi, I’m sorry! Xiangyu didn’t know you were here and almost ran into you, please punish me."
"Punishment is not necessary," Shi Qianshan said indifferently, "but you came with your enforcers. Whose legs were you planning to break?"
"Him!"
Hao Xiangyu pointed a finger at Qingfeng, gritting his teeth, "He deliberately caused my car accident, nearly killing me!"
"Who are you? Do you have a feud with my grandson?" Hao Taixing asked with a grim face.
Qingfeng was about to speak, but Xiao Ming beat him to it, "This is my nephew, the one who was driving when your grandson had his accident, and I was also in the car."
Hao Taixing’s gaze sharpened, "So you’re saying, my unworthy grandson’s accident was instigated by Mr. Xiao."
"Indeed, whatever one’s own grandson says must be true; not even a question is asked," Xiao Ming sneered, "but it doesn’t matter anymore. Yes, I instigated it, as a lesson for your grandson."
"Why?"
"That question should not be asked of me, Mr. Hao."
Hao Taixing burst into rage in an instant, almost showing it on his face.
The Hao Family had thrown their weight around Qingyang for so many years, and this was the first one who had dared to challenge him so openly here, a youngster even younger than his own grandson.
If it weren’t for the warning from the Ten Residence Honored One, even if Shi Qianshan protected him, he would not have let it go easily.
Taking a deep breath, he turned to look at Hao Xiangyu, "What did you do today?"
"Noth..."
"Tell the truth!"
Hao Xiangyu trembled, lowering his head and stammering, "I, I really didn’t do much, just raced with some friends for a while."
"On the airport expressway." Qingfeng suddenly interjected.
Hao Taixing immediately guessed what had happened.
Everyone knows how dangerous it is to race on the expressway. It must have been Xiangyu affecting Xiao Ming’s car that led to the punishment.
Thinking of the Ten Residence Honored One’s ruthless methods, Hao Taixing couldn’t help but tremble.
He must obtain Xiao Ming’s forgiveness!
With that thought, the old man kicked Hao Xiangyu hard, cursing, "Beast, who allowed you to race on a public road? Not only endangering others but yourself as well, was all my teaching just fed to the dogs?
I’ll kill you, you worthless thing!"
The four old men of the Hao, Wu, An, and Chang families seemed to have an unspoken understanding, for as soon as Hao Taixing raised his hand, he was restrained by Wu Mengsong and An Xianhe.
"Ah, kids are full of energy, it’s inevitable they make mistakes. Just educate them, let him know what he’s done wrong. What’s the use of such a temper tantrum? You’re not considering your age either."
"Exactly, calm down, it’s not dignify to cause a scene in public," Chang Chunbai said.
Chang Chunbai patted Hao Taixing on the shoulder, then glared sternly at Hao Xiangyu and asked, "Do you realize your mistake?"
Hao Xiangyu wasn’t stupid, of course, so he obediently answered, "Xiangyu knows his mistake. I will definitely be law-abiding when driving from now on, I won’t mess around anymore."
"See, the child is sensible after all!" Chang Chunbai chuckled with a laugh.
"Go straight home now!" Hao Taixing, still seemingly furious, barked, "If you dare leave the house within five days, I’ll break your legs!"
Hao Xiangyu obviously didn’t want to comply, opened his mouth, but eventually nodded, "Xiangyu understands."
With that, he stood up and bowed respectively to Shi Qianshan and the three elders—Wu, An, and Chang—then turned to leave.
"So," Xiao Ming, picking at his ear in a disdainful manner, asked, "I take it I won’t even get an apology?"
Hao Xiangyu and the four family heads nearly turned to look at him simultaneously. The Hao family grandfather and grandson were angry, while the other three elderly men were puzzled and bewildered.
"Ah, Mr. Hao, look, your grandson’s gaze is terrifying!
If he said he might kill me while I was in Qingyang, no one would suspect him."
What is psychological manipulation? This is it!
Hao Taixing felt his heart condition was about to flare up, but in the end, he didn’t dare to go against the will of the Ten Residence Honored One and had to swallow this bitter pill.
"What are you standing there for? Apologize to Mr. Xiao immediately!"
"No need, no need."
Xiao Ming suddenly waved his hand, causing everyone to be stunned.
Hao Taixing thought that Xiao was giving him a way to save face and was just about to insist pretentiously, but Xiao Ming’s following words almost made him faint on the spot.
"Just apologize to my nephew. He’s still young, so one kowtow will be enough."
As soon as these words were uttered, the room fell so silent you could hear a pin drop. The eyes of the onlookers nearby were all fixed on Xiao Ming without blinking, speculating about his background and what would happen next.
To humiliate Hao Taixing’s own grandson in the Hao Family’s territory was no different from slapping him in the face.
Even Shi Qianshan couldn’t help but frown slightly, then, as if thinking of something, he chuckled noiselessly, standing back to watch the drama unfold.
Hao Xiangyu was so angry that his whole body trembled, and savage light radiated from his eyes as though he was just waiting for his grandfather’s permission to pounce and tear Xiao Ming apart.
However, what he received was a chilling scolding from Hao Taixing: "Are you deaf? Come over and kowtow to Mr. Xiao’s esteemed nephew to apologize!"
Hao Xiangyu’s eyes were wide with disbelief, "Grandpa..."
"Shut up! Kowtow!"
Hearing in his grandfather’s voice that he was on the verge of exploding, Hao Xiangyu, reluctant as he was, had to grit his teeth, rush over to Qingfeng, and kowtow.
"I’m sorry! I have offended you greatly today, please forgive me!"
"Hahaha..."
Xiao Ming’s laughter could be heard throughout the hall.
He patted Qingfeng’s shoulder and said, "Kid, take a good look. This guy is the only legitimate grandson of the Hao family, nicknamed ’Crown Prince’ in Qingyang, and who knows, he might even become the Family Head of the Hao family in the future.
Today, you’ve scored big time!"
Although Qingfeng didn’t know what Xiao Ming was up to, he knew how to play along, and said with a smile, "It’s all thanks to your influence, Uncle."
Xiao Ming laughed loudly again and then kicked Hao Xiangyu, "Get up! Mr. Hao was right about something just now, street racing on public roads is dangerous to others and oneself.
Sometimes it might not kill others, but it will definitely kill oneself.
Remember that! I don’t usually tell this to just anybody."
Hao Xiangyu clenched his fists, stood up, and glared at him with a cold and deep look, then turned and walked away.
"Young Master! Young Master!"
At this moment, someone ran over from the elevator entrance, looking panicked, and whispered something into Hao Xiangyu’s ear.
"What? Someone jumped from the eighteenth floor?"
Xiao Ming suddenly shouted, and everyone in the hall heard it. Hao Xiangyu whipped around, his expression and that of the person next to him filled with utter shock.
They were at least six or seven meters apart; even my old man almost didn’t catch what was said, so how did he know?
Does this bastard have a pair of dog ears or what?
"Mr. Xiao, please don’t spread alarming statements!"
Hao Taixing could barely contain his rage any longer, his eyes filled with a threatening glare.
However, Xiao Ming seemed as if he couldn’t see this at all and continued to speak in a not-so-quiet voice, "There’s no need to be anxious, Mr. Hao. Whether someone jumped or not, let’s all go up and see for ourselves!"
