Chapter 1296: Chapter 1296: Truly Not a Man

The old master asked, "Why didn’t you two stay and rest properly? How come you’re back?"

The little guy immediately tilted his head up and asked, "Is it because you missed me?"

"Don’t worry, I’m having a great time at the old house!" the little guy said happily.

But the fact that Mom and Dad could still be thinking about him on such an important day really moved him!

Zhao Gushen: "..."

Ye Fei’s mouth twitched, and she felt guilty.

She really hadn’t thought about the little guy today...

The wedding was insanely busy; she hadn’t had time.

And when she finally had a breather, the whole thing with Ye Ning happened.

She still hadn’t had the chance to think about the little guy.

If the little guy hadn’t just brought it up, Ye Fei would have... forgotten.

But how could Ye Fei let the little guy down? She quickly nodded and said, "Yeah, I didn’t get to spend proper time with you all day today, so I missed you a lot."

"Even if you miss me, you shouldn’t tire yourself out," the little guy said very sensibly, his heart aching for Ye Fei.

That made Ye Fei feel even more guilty.

She walked over and rubbed his soft hair. "I’m not tired. Now that we’re back, I feel even more relaxed."

But the two elders took one look at Ye Fei’s reaction and immediately knew the two of them hadn’t come back just for Xiao Mo.

"What’s going on?" Zhao Dinghuan asked Zhao Gushen.

Zhao Gushen directly handed over the evidence he’d gotten from Ye Ning to the old master.

"This is the evidence obtained from Ye Ning. She kept a record of all her cooperation with Zhao Guqing, just in case Zhao Guqing screwed her over someday," Zhao Gushen said.

"Previously, when Ye Ning sent people to harm Xiao Fei and Xiao Mo, we only traced it back to Ye Ning and couldn’t find any evidence against Zhao Guqing. Now everything’s filled in," Zhao Gushen said in a low voice.

The old master’s face immediately darkened when he heard that. "Xiao Hong, bring me my reading glasses."

"Yes." Housekeeper Hong had also heard what Zhao Gushen said.

He knew very well that what Zhao Guqing had done was way over the line.

No matter how they fought, if he only targeted Zhao Gushen,

then because Zhao Guqing was his younger brother, Zhao Gushen wouldn’t really do anything to him.

He’d just slowly keep him company and play along.

No matter what tricks Zhao Guqing tried, he couldn’t turn the tables, and he couldn’t touch Zhao Gushen.

Zhao Gushen would just treat it as teasing his little brother.

But for Zhao Guqing to go so far as to harm Ye Fei and Xiao Mo in order to achieve his goals—

that crossed the line.

And it wasn’t just crossing the line with Zhao Gushen.

It crossed the line with the Zhao Family elders as well.

This also indirectly showed that Zhao Guqing really didn’t have what it takes.

He’d already resorted to this kind of method.

And on another level, dragging a man’s wife and child into it like this is really despicable.

Truly not a man.

While Housekeeper Hong was inwardly despising Zhao Guqing, he hurried to bring the old master his reading glasses.

The old master put on his reading glasses and started going through the evidence in his hands.

After he finished a page, he passed that page to the old lady.

The old lady continued reading.

When the old lady finished, she passed it on to Zhao Dinghuan.

After Zhao Dinghuan finished reading, he passed it to Chi Jingsi.

Normally, Chi Jingsi had no interest in these business matters.

But now that this involved Ye Fei and Xiao Mo, even Chi Jingsi, for once, started reading carefully.

After she finished, Chi Jingsi passed it to Zhao Dinglian.

Only after Zhao Dinglian and his wife finished reading was the round complete.

The third old master was also present, but he wasn’t in a rush to read.

He waited until everyone else was done, then took the whole stack and read it all together.

The third old master didn’t like reading things in batches.

So that was why the old master hadn’t handed it to him directly just now.

Old Master Zhao looked grim as he said to Zhao Gushen, "You decide how to deal with Zhao Guqing. If they have any objections, let them come to me. Just tell them it’s all on my say-so."

The old master was afraid he might not handle it just right if he decided himself.

If he dealt with it and Zhao Gushen felt it still wasn’t enough, what then?

So the old master simply let Zhao Gushen handle it himself.

After all, the people harmed were his wife and child, and he was the one who found the evidence.

And between Zhao Gushen and Zhao Guqing, the old master naturally chose Zhao Gushen.

That didn’t even require thinking.

He was his blood grandson, and the ones hurt were his granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson.

Besides, this whole thing was because Zhao Guqing harbored ill intent from the start.

The old master had long been wanting to kick Zhao Guqing out.

He had no real skills and just knew how to complain all day long.

Letting Zhao Gushen deal with him would at least let him vent some anger.

Zhao Gushen nodded. "Thank you, Grandpa."

Zhao Gushen also understood the old master’s intention in handing the matter over to him.

The old master immediately felt both body and mind relax.

See, this is the benefit of talking to a smart grandson.

There’s nothing you need to explain; Zhao Gushen understands what you’re thinking and even feels grateful.

Even though there’s no need for so much politeness between family,

being remembered for your kindness is always better than dealing with those people who, no matter how well you treat them, think it’s only natural and feel no gratitude at all, isn’t it?

The old master couldn’t help thinking, if the one sitting in front of him right now were Zhao Guqing...
