Chapter 123: An Unavoidable Cancellation

Chapter 123: An Unavoidable Cancellation

The situation is very serious? Gong Xin Yi's heart sank.

He was raised by his grandmother, who is the dearest person to him. If she truly is at death's door, he can't delay even a second.

But, remembering that Leng Xi Yue had just treated his grandmother with the spirit bead, Gong Xin Yi felt this situation was unlikely.

Isn't Leng Xi Yue's spirit bead supposed to cure all illnesses? Logically, after the treatment, all of her illnesses should have been eradicated. She should be in good health now, so how could her condition have worsened?

Gong Xin Yi, half-believing, made a call to Zhou Tian.

"Zhou Tian, has your mom called you?"

Zhou Tian had already heard what Madame Gong had said on the phone, so he knew exactly what to say.

He deliberately sounded mournful, "She did call, saying grandma is in a bad way. I'm on my way back right now."

It's actually true!

Gong Xin Yi hung up the phone and immediately drove towards the Gong family's old mansion.

At the Jin Family Hotel.

Jin Yu, Jin's mother, the six adorable girls, along with Wu Gang and Liu Juan, all had finished washing up and sat at the table, just waiting for Gong Xin Yi to arrive so they could eat together.

Leng Xi Yue glanced at the time and said with a smile, "He'll be here in five minutes!"

"No rush, it's just five minutes. We'll wait for him," Wu Gang said.

"Yes, it's more lively when everyone's here," Jin's mother said kindly smiling.

"We'll wait for daddy to eat together," the six adorable girls also expressed their agreement.

Meanwhile, Gong Xin Yi and Zhou Tian arrived at the Gong family's old mansion, one after the other.

At the entrance, Zhou Tian deliberately slowed down, letting Gong Xin Yi go in first.

"Grandma!" Gong Xin Yi shouted as he rushed inside.

"Ah!" Madame Gong responded joyfully, then chuckled to Zhao Lin, "See? I told you my grandson wouldn't stay mad for long. Look, he came to see me first thing in the morning."

To his shock, his grandmother had deceived him! Gong Xin Yi immediately scowled and headed straight for the door without looking back.

"Gong Xin Yi! What do you mean by this?" Madame Gong shouted after him to the door, "Would you be happy if I were really dead? If that's the case, I'll die right now for you to see!"

Just as Gong Xin Yi was opening his car door, hearing this, he closed it again, frustrated.

"What do you want?" Gong Xin Yi yelled angrily.

"You're getting angry with me?" Madame Gong changed her usual demeanor, deliberately starting to cry, saying with utmost grievance, "I've raised you with so much hardship, and this is how you treat me? Had I known you would turn out this way, I would have followed your parents twenty years ago. Why bother living till now? For whom did I endure all this, huh?"

Hearing this, Gong Xin Yi felt extremely guilty and quickly turned back to apologize, "I'm sorry, Grandma..."

"I don't want your apologies, I just want you to stay for breakfast!" Madame Gong said angrily.

Then she asked pitifully, "Can you?"

Gong Xin Yi took a long deep breath, "Alright."

Then, using the excuse of going to the bathroom, he sent a message to Leng Xi Yue.

—Sorry Xi Yue, something came up at the company, can't make it. Let's have lunch at noon, remember to prepare for me.

At the Jin family's old house.

Everyone was getting anxious because the food was almost cold, and Gong Xin Yi still hadn't arrived.

Jin Yu couldn't help asking, "Xi Yue, hasn't he arrived yet? Why not call him? It's been way more than a quarter of an hour."

Leng Xi Yue pouted, "He's driving; it's not good to call now, why don't you guys start eating first?"

"How could we? Let's wait a bit longer," Jin's mother said helplessly.

After a long while, with Gong Xin Yi still not arriving, Leng Xi Yue, worried, had no choice but to pick up her phone to call.

Only then did she see the message from Gong Xin Yi, filling her with disappointment.
