Chapter 448: Chapter 449: There Will Be Danger
Especially when he intended to protect his wife all his life, only to be manipulated by his current wife. He was forced into marrying his current wife and even fathered two daughters with her.
He has always felt guilty towards his wife.
Now knowing Lingyue is the only bloodline his wife left in this world, and that Lingyue is so outstanding, fulfilling all of Senior Master Xiang’s expectations of Xiang Family’s future heir.
Senior Master Xiang naturally wants to take Lingyue back to the Xiang Family.
But Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue get along so well. If Lingyue is taken away by Senior Master Xiang, Xiao Shumiao will surely be heartbroken.
Just the thought of his adopted son with teary eyes, even before anything happened, makes Gu Junzhu feel a pang of heartache.
So he continued: “Uncle Xiang, have you considered, taking Lingyue back to the Xiang Family might not be the best choice?”
Senior Master Xiang frowned, “Why do you say so? You should know how much I treasure Xiao Yue. He is my life now. Taking him back to the Xiang Family, I will give him everything I can!”
“Just because of that, he is in danger,” Gu Junzhu tries to persuade to help his adopted son keep Lingyue, “Uncle Xiang, don’t forget, you have a wife at home, and your wife has two daughters.”
“If Xiang Jiechao was your son, born by your lawful wife, he would be the eldest grandson and thus the rightful heir to the Xiang Family. Even if your current wife is dissatisfied, she can’t protest.”
“But Lingyue is your grandson, and his mother has been living outside, not staying with you for a day.”
“His sudden appearance, in the eyes of your current wife and her daughters, is essentially an invader.”
“Once they realize your intention to groom Lingyue as the heir to the Xiang Family, they will definitely see Lingyue as a thorn in their side, something to be removed quickly.”
Gu Junzhu looked at Senior Master Xiang solemnly: “Uncle Xiang, it’s easy to dodge an open spear but hard to avoid an arrow shot in the dark. It’s easy to spend a thousand days as a thief but hard to spend a thousand days guarding against thieves. Are you really sure you want to take Lingyue back to the Xiang Family, letting him live in such a dangerous environment?”
Senior Master Xiang’s eyebrows furrowed tighter.
He admitted that Gu Junzhu made sense.
But he was a very confident person.
He believed that with his ability, he could protect his beloved grandson.
So he waved his hand: “Xiao Zhu, you don’t need to say more, don’t worry, as soon as I take Xiao Yue back home, I’ll assign him half of my trusted subordinates. I believe I can definitely protect Xiao Yue from any bullying.”
Gu Junzhu just smiled and didn’t say anything more.
He could empathize with Senior Master Xiang.
Lingyue is Senior Master Xiang’s apple of the eye right now.
Who could bear to leave their precious gem in someone else’s house?
Moreover, someone like Senior Master Xiang is so confident that it borders on arrogance.
He genuinely believes that he can protect Lingyue without letting him experience the slightest harm.
However, whether Lingyue will return to the Xiang Family or not isn’t up to him nor Senior Master Xiang.
The main thing is to see what Lingyue thinks.
If Lingyue wants to stay, even Senior Master Xiang can’t go against his will.
Just what does Lingyue think?
Senior Master Xiang had an in-depth conversation with Gu Junzhu; asking detailed questions about everything related to Lingyue.
The more he learned, the more distressed Senior Master Xiang became.
He desperately wished he could immediately take Lingyue back to the Xiang Family and offer him all the best things of the Xiang family, making Lingyue the happiest kid in the world.
