Chapter 759: The Sweet-mouthed Gong Tianhao

After more than ten minutes of travel, Old Master Li and Leng and the Xiao family had already become familiar with each other.

“In-law…” Old master Li greeted Grandma Xiao and the others warmly.

“Shoo, shoo. Who’s your in-law?!” Old Master Gong immediately retorted, “Old Li, how can you be so shameless? She’s not your in-law. Plus, you already have so many in-laws of your own!”

Then, Old Master Gong said to grandma Xiao, “Sister Xiao, this old man doesn’t have any good intentions. Don’t fall for it.”

Old Master Li was displeased and said, “Old Gong, what nonsense are you talking about? Don’t slander me in front of the in-laws. Why would I not have good intentions?”

Old Master Gong snorted coldly and said, “Hmph. Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking. I don’t want to expose you in front of my in-law. In-laws, ignore him. Let’s go.”

Grandma Xiao smiled and said, “Alright, let’s hurry up.”

Along the way, mother Xiao and the others heard Old Master Gong bickering with the other two old masters. The other juniors couldn’t get a word in. They just listened and watched. Occasionally, Grandma Xiao and Grandpa Xiao would exchange a word or two.

Then, not long after, the group arrived at the entrance of the supermarket.

Mother Xiao and the others looked at the exterior decoration of the supermarket and were slightly surprised.

Eldest Aunt Xiao said, “This supermarket is very big!”

Mother Xiao said, “Yes, it’s the biggest supermarket so far. Yu ‘Er said that this supermarket has an area of over 4,000 square meters, and each floor is over 1,000 square meters. There are four floors in total!”

Eldest Aunt Xiao was a little surprised and gasped.

The front of the supermarket was decorated with red and yellow walls. There were pictures of vegetables and fruits. The sign said, “Taoyuan Village Green Fresh Supermarket”. Then in a smaller font, it said, “The 45th chain store in the country.”

Because it was a grand opening, the front door was decorated with flower baskets, balloons, and a red, inflatable dragon-shaped arch. On the arch, there was a banner that said, “To celebrate the opening of Taoyuan village green fresh supermarket.”

Although the supermarket hadn’t opened yet, many people had already gathered. The nearby residents were filled with curiosity about this supermarket that had appeared out of nowhere. At the same time, people who had received news from upper-class circles also rushed over. Many people even carried flower baskets.

“Congratulations, Lady Boss!” Xiao Lingyu stood at the entrance of the shop. Someone recognized her and immediately sent a flower basket to congratulate her!

Xiao Lingyu was wearing a professional outfit today. A custom-made black suit accentuated her exquisite figure and style. Coupled with her stunning beauty, she instantly charmed all the men and women present.

‘The lady boss of this supermarket is really beautiful. Her temperament is elegant. She is really a perfect woman.’ Some men secretly wanted to go up and strike up a conversation with her. However, when they saw the cold and elegant man standing beside her, they immediately stopped in their tracks.

‘This man’s aura is so strong and domineering. It was obvious that he is not someone to be trifled with.’ Of course, those ordinary people did not know Gong Tianhao’s identity. However, in upper-class circles, Gong Tianhao’s name was well-known. Furthermore, they had seen Gong Tianhao in person on some occasions.

Therefore, they naturally knew Gong Tianhao. Naturally, they knew the woman next to him was the young madam of the Gong family, who had recently caused a stir in the upper-class circles.

Many big families sent over flower baskets. They knew the origins of this supermarket and the relationship between the gong family and this supermarket.

This supermarket was opened by the young madam of the Gong family. Therefore, on such a big opening day like today, Gong Tianhao and his wife would definitely attend.

Therefore, sending a flower basket was the best way to get close to Gong Tianhao and his wife. In other words, this was a chance given to them by the Gong family. Whether or not they could get on the Gong family’s good side depended on themselves.

“Mr. Gong, Mrs. Gong, Congratulations!” Another person sent a flower basket. He handed the basket to Gong Tianhao.

At this moment, Gong Tianhao frowned and said, “This supermarket belongs to my wife!”

That person was stunned for a moment before he reacted. His face was slightly red as he said again, “Mrs. Gong, Congratulations. Mr. Gong, Congratulations!” Internally, he screamed. He had made Gong Tianhao unhappy. He purposely gave the flower basket to Gong Tianhao because that was the person he wanted to curry favor with. He ignored Xiao Lingyu because she was a country bumpkin. Naturally, Gong Tianhao was unhappy.

Even though Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu were now husband and wife, they were still separate entities. Gong Tianhao loved his wife very much. If his wife wanted to be independent and develop her own business, he would definitely support her. However, he would definitely not allow anyone to look down on Xiao Lingyu. He knew that Xiao Lingyu had managed to achieve all the results she had thus far without his help.

That was something Gong Tianhao wanted to inform the world. Her wife reached the height she reached that day because of her own hard work.

Xiao Lingyu thanked the people who came to send the flower baskets.

Many people used this opportunity to get close to Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu. Xiao Lingyu would always greet them politely. No matter what their intentions were, whether they were sincere or fake, they were all here to congratulate them.

When Mother Xiao and the others arrived, there were already flower baskets and congratulatory messages lined up on both sides of the door.

“Yu ‘Er, Hao ‘Er!” Grandma Xiao and Mama Xiao immediately called out.

Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao immediately went forward to welcome them, “Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom… you guys came so early.”

Gong Tianhao looked at the clothes of Grandma Xiao and Grandpa Xiao and praised them with a smile, “Grandma, you look really beautiful in the Tang suit. Grandpa is also very handsome. He looks much younger than usual!”

Grandma Xiao said with a smile, “Hao ‘Er, you are so sweet-tongued!”

The Xiao family didn’t think that Gong Tianhao was any different. However, the people in the crowd were shocked.

Since when did Gong Tianhao know how to praise people? They thought they were hallucinating.

The rumors about Gong Tianhao in the capital had always been that he was a ruthless, impartial, and merciless business emperor.

But they saw and heard Gong Tianhao complimenting an old lady and old man with a gentle expression and respect in his eyes. It was obvious that he was sincere.

But when did Gong Tianhao need to please and compliment others?

“Mom and Auntie are very beautiful today. Dad and uncle are also very handsome!” Then, Gong Tianhao did not hesitate to compliment every member of the Xiao family.

The people in the crowd had their jaws dropped.

Was this really that cold business world Emperor Gong Tianhao? Was he swapped out? Otherwise, how could he be so sweet to everyone?

Plus, he was currying favor with these people.

But wait.

They heard something earlier. Gong Tianhao called this group of people his grandparents and parents. But didn’t Gong Tianhao only have one grandfather?

However, when they saw Xiao Lingyu, who was holding onto his arm, they immediately reacted.

Were these people from his wife’s family?

Then, some of the people in the crowd immediately understood. They thought of a recent rumor in the capital. Gong Tianhao loved his wife very much. Someone even took a picture of him accompanying his wife and children to go shopping and play at the amusement park, just like an ordinary family.

In the past, they had never seen how much Gong Tianhao doted on his wife in person. They didn’t believe Gong Tianhao was capable of doing something like that.

But now, after seeing how Gong Tianhao treated his wife respectfully and fawned on her family members, they could tell that he really loved his wife!

In fact, there was a saying that whether a husband loved his wife or not could be seen from his attitude towards his wife’s family.

Generally, a man who loved his wife would definitely treat his wife’s family very well.

On the contrary, a man who did not love his wife would naturally look down on his wife’s family.

Eldest Aunt Xiao looked at Mother Xiao and said with a smile, “Qiuying, Tianhao’s mouth is really getting sweeter and sweeter!”

Third Aunt Xiao covered her mouth and said with a smile, “But Tianhao is also telling the truth. Today, all of us are dressed very beautifully and handsomely for the occasion.”

Usually, when they worked at home, they had no reason to dress up.

“Yes, these clothes are really beautiful. Yu ‘Er, you really have a good eye for fashion. These clothes fit and look good on us!” Third Aunt Xiao said.

Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “Third aunt, I didn’t choose these clothes. Tianhao chose them and then hired a designer to make them.”

“Really?” Grandma Xiao smiled and said, “Hao’er, you’re really thoughtful!”

Gong Tianhao smiled and said, “Grandma, all I did was hire someone.”

…

Old Master Li looked at Gong Tianhao, who was talking so enthusiastically with the Xiao family members, and poked old master Gong beside him. He asked curiously, “Old Gong, is your Tianhao’s mouth always so sweet in front of the Xiao Family? How come I have never seen him like this around you?”

Old Master Gong looked down on him and snorted coldly, “Hmph, how childish! When my Hao ‘Er was sweet-talking me, you wouldn’t be around. Besides, what’s wrong with my Hao ‘Er being sweet to his in-laws? Don’t tell me you’re jealous? What a busybody!”

Old Master Li, “…”

Old Master Leng said with a smile, “It’s nice to see this side of Tianhao.”
