Chapter 932: Wry Smile (12)
"Alright, Sasha." Peng Jiayuan patted his tearful ’granddaughter’, tenderly saying, "It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t acknowledge you. You still have me, your granddad. We two will rely on each other, and you’d better give up thinking about finding any sister in the future."
"Now that you’ve seen her, your wish is fulfilled."
No one expected Gu Lingling to be so sharp-tongued; with just a few words, she turned the situation around, causing people to start doubting their identity.
She was exactly like her grandmother Tian Wanfeng.
Sharp-tongued!
Whenever she criticized her own master, there were always plenty of reasons and excuses.
Coincidentally, her master never got angry, even though sometimes he couldn’t stand her bullying. Yet, the master still laughed it off.
"Granddad, I’m sorry," Peng Sasa said sorrowfully, "Before seeing her, I always imagined meeting her one day, wondered if she wanted to acknowledge me just like I do."
"Turns out I was thinking too much."
She lowered her head, deeply aggrieved.
Gu Lingling helplessly shook her head. Although people around her initially changed their attitude because of her words, Peng Sasa’s show of vulnerability immediately swayed their sympathy back to her.
However, Gu Lingling didn’t care.
She smiled helplessly.
This feeling of being stuck, haha... is certainly interesting.
"Uncle Tao’s move didn’t go well." The man upstairs shook his head in disagreement, "Sasha is still too inexperienced compared to Gu Lingling; she doesn’t have the aura."
"I’m puzzled," the middle-aged man touched his chin and said, "Wasn’t she raised in the countryside? She doesn’t seem like it at all."
The kind of aura when she spoke earlier, coupled with her quick thinking, is not something cultivated by ordinary families.
"I heard she was raised by Tian Wanfeng’s maid," another man next to him added.
"The old man has been wise throughout his life, except when it comes to Tian Wanfeng, then he doesn’t care about anything," the middle-aged man said with a laugh.
The man beside him remained silent.
The middle-aged man is the one who stood out among the many sons adopted by the old man; the others were all sent away by him to unknown places.
He could say that, but he couldn’t respond.
Meanwhile, Gu Lingling didn’t respond either and let Peng Sasa act pitiful to garner sympathy. Eventually, unable to bear it, she glanced at Tian Wenbai.
Tian Wenbai forced a smile.
If he didn’t speak now, his niece might ignore him in the future.
But he also wants to figure out what’s really going on.
Gu Lingling glared at him, thinking how unreliable this uncle is. She won’t pay attention to him anymore.
Tian Wenbai didn’t expect the little girl’s temper to be so strong. Awkwardly, he touched his nose and was about to say something, but the little girl had already turned and walked away.
She had already started ignoring him.
Tian Wenbai, "..."
But he truly can’t make the decision on this matter.
His family’s old man never takes matters lightly when it concerns his aunt, and the perfect timing of Peng Jiayuan’s appearance makes it impossible for him not to be cautious.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to acknowledge, but if he speaks up now confirming Gu Lingling, how could he draw out others’ intentions?
Yet Tian Wenbai hadn’t anticipated he’d be punished by his own father as a consequence, nor did he expect the little girl’s temper to be so great, leaving her ignoring him for a long time.
Not only that, but she also stirred up trouble.
