965: Chapter 940: The Old Ginger Is Still Spicy!

Graceful and pitiable,

even a heart as firm as stone secretly felt like it was melting away.

Wu Jie took a deep breath.

His teeth were clenched, and deep down he truly didn’t want to give up so easily.

He had once believed that he would surely encounter perfect love,

beginning with affection and growing with time, enduring hardships, and lasting until death turned to ashes.

To win a person’s heart, inseparable until white hair.

He also had held the beauty in his arms, content and fulfilled, feeling as though his life had reached its pinnacle…

But now, it seemed he was still in the depths of a valley.

No one is perfect.

Put yourself in Tang Xiao’s shoes; her willingness to beg, so undignified and without pride, wasn’t it a proactive attitude of seeking change?

With her character and circumstances, she could have continued to be prideful and wilful, but instead, she was crazy in love, crying her heart out.

As for making mistakes…

Wu Jie asked himself earnestly, he too had nearly made mistakes with Tang Xin and Fang Qingya.

Although both times were accidental and passive, without crossing the line, he couldn’t act innocent after benefiting from the situation!

Moreover, neither Tang Xin nor Fang Qingya had said anything, and Tang Xiao was still in the dark.

If that was the case, why not start over?

Buzz buzz—buzz buzz—

His cellphone vibrated, immensely untimely,

ringing incessantly.

Unsure what urgent matter it could be, Wu Jie didn’t hesitate too long before freeing his hand and retrieving his phone.

The caller ID unexpectedly displayed Old Mr.

Tang.

Tang Xiao exclaimed in surprise, “So late, what urgent matter could Old Grandfather have?”

Without hesitation, Wu Jie swiftly answered the call and put it on speaker.

“Jie, where are you?”

Old Mr.

Tang’s voice was gentle, without any hint of stern interrogation.

The corners of Wu Jie’s lips twitched as he calmly replied, “I…

I am almost at the Science Research City project department!”

Tang Pingde said with a deep voice,

“I heard from Dongzi that Xiao and her father had a fierce quarrel.

That girl acted like she went crazy, smashing laptops and printers, even tearing up the contract.

It scared me quite a bit, but I promptly contacted Tang Long and finally got things cleared up.”

“Truthfully, when you came to my house to celebrate my birthday, I could see right from the start that you and Xiao were faking it.

But you, young man, are down-to-earth and unpretentious, not like many of the frivolous young people today.

I truly took a liking to you from the bottom of my heart!”

“The facts prove that I was not wrong about you, capable and knowledgeable, with both a sense of responsibility and accountability.

Old Tan said you are like a national treasure, and I think you are the best grandson-in-law.

As for that girl, Tang Xiao…

hehe!”

A light chuckle from Tang Pingde caused Tang Xiao to instantly flush with shame.

Obviously,

Tang Pingde had no idea that his eldest granddaughter had carjacked someone and dragged Wu Jie into the woods, almost resorting to crying, causing a scene, and even threatening suicide.

“Old Grandfather, actually Xiao is…

quite good!”

Wu Jie forced himself to say.

“Good my ass!!”

Tang Pingde snorted heavily.

“Let’s not talk about her work capabilities, just take her personal life.

She has never been properly disciplined since childhood!”

“She’s accustomed to being all alone, harboring some sort of…

queen complex!

Yes, and don’t forget her princess syndrome!”

“Everything has to go her way, or else she throws a spoiled fit, and her temper is not a minor one…”

Wu Jie struggled to suppress his scoff.

Listening to Old Mr.

Tang slowly list all of Tang Xiao’s faults and various dark histories.

Initially,

Tang Xiao had also been a school tyrant,

a female bully of the highest order!

Starting fights and causing trouble, she was always on the front line.

From senior high students to junior middle and elementary school juniors, anyone who dared provoke her was guaranteed a brutal beating on their way home from school.

Her mother died because of the Xu Family, and the explosive-tempered Tang Xiao had gone to the Xu’s home with a knife in hand.

Had it not been for her young age and timely discovery, she would have certainly killed several people.

Because she was too fierce, utterly ‘wild and untamed,’ she was sent to the military.

Once in the military, she proved to be even more formidable, a headstrong troublemaker; she dared to challenge the squad leader to hand-to-hand combat during new recruit training.

When assigned to non-combatant units like the medical or communications company, she protested on the spot, insisting on joining a combat unit, even demanding to be in the best reconnaissance or special operations squadrons.

Consequently…

To tame her, Tang Pingde had her thrown into Hunter School, trying to use the brutally tough training, akin to torture, to make her behave.

But what was the result?

A woman alone dominated Hunter School, breaking multiple records, exasperating the instructors to the point that they simply let her join a special forces unit.

The stronger the opposition, the stronger she became.

In the special forces, she was unrelenting in her desire to learn and win.

During an intercontinental counter-narcotics operation, she mocked her captain for not securing the mission, even giving him the nickname ‘useless’.

As for what happened later…

The countless merits she earned were matched by the number of blunders she made.

Once during a mission, she accidentally cracked a human trafficking case.

The trafficker stole babies from hospitals, lured children in parks and shopping centers, and even brazenly snatched them openly.

They committed various crimes, causing many families to suffer the agony of separation.

The children they captured were sold if possible; if not, they were intentionally blinded, had their hands or feet chopped off, or were burned and scalded, before being sent to beg and earn money…

Their deeds were certainly appalling, and Tang Xiao’s method of dealing with them was even more fierce.

Wu Jie eventually learned about the subsequent events.

Tang Xiao, who served as an instructor in the Cheetah Special Operations Squadron, didn’t get promoted but instead experienced a steady climb in her career.

She participated in an undercover mission, only to be trapped and betrayed by the notorious drug lord Kun Qianxi.

Barely surviving, she was forced to retire due to her injuries…

In short.

Tang Pingde carefully went through Tang Xiao’s restless life journey for Wu Jie.

He did not shy away from discussing his eldest granddaughter’s shortcomings.

“…In short, this girl has a temper that’s tough to handle, and you’re brave, careful, and thick-skinned enough to have won her over, but her character is flawed, and she has quite a few issues.

I think it’s perfectly normal for her to make mistakes and get into trouble!”

“Wu Jie, you’re a decent guy; both Tang Long and I like you very much.

We even feel that this wretched girl is not at all worthy of you!”

Wu Jie glanced at Tang Xiao, whose face was flushed with embarrassment, and laughed:

“Old Mr.

Tang, you must be joking!”

“I’m not!

I’m perfectly healthy, and my mind is as clear as ever!”

Tang Pingde said with a robust and forceful voice:

“Tang Long had Lawyer Xu draft a divorce agreement intending to give you the entire corporation, allowing that wretched girl to leave with nothing and keep that vixen at bay!

And what happened then?”

“That girl got scolded into sense, suddenly realized she couldn’t leave you, refused adamantly, and smashed the laptop and printer – even tore up the printed agreement!”

“I bet she’s waiting for you somewhere near the project department now, ready to whisk you away at the right moment and then find a place to tearfully apologize and beg for pardon…”

Upon hearing this.

Tang Xiao bowed her head in shame, while Wu Jie opened his mouth in amazement.

Old Mr.

Tang really understood Tang Xiao well!

He predicted precisely what Tang Xiao would do, as if he had a god-like perspective, clear and unerring.

And for Tang Xiao, whose prediction had come true, her face was utterly without grace.

This was the classic “old ginger is hotter than new.”

And Wu Jie… could only hum in acknowledgment, unsure of what else to say.

“Actually, I shouldn’t meddle with your young couple’s affairs, being a grandfather, but I’m genuinely worried!”

“If you no longer want that wretched girl Tang Xiao, what will she do in the future?

She was unwanted in the past, and even less so in the future.”

“With your credentials, you could find a better girl at any time, maybe even more than one.

Isn’t my second granddaughter, Tang Xin, enamored with you?”

Hearing this, Wu Jie nearly spat blood, thunderstruck!

Nothing escaped Old Mr.

Tang’s sharp eyes!

After ninety years of life, what storms hadn’t he weathered?

What kinds of people and situations hadn’t he experienced?

Tang Xin’s little tricks were no secret to someone with ample life experience.

However…

Fortunately, he hadn’t gotten involved with Tang Xin; otherwise, Old Mr.

Tang would surely make Wu Jie choose between them.

As for Tang Xiao, bowing her head in embarrassment.

The words of Old Mr.

Tang filled her with a sense of crisis.

Involuntarily, she gripped Wu Jie’s hand tighter.

Fear filled her heart, and embarrassment was the last thing on her mind as she immediately nestled against Wu Jie’s shoulder like a dependent bird.

“Old Mr.

Tang, you’re kidding.

Xin’er has no other intentions towards me, and as for Xiao Xiao, she actually…”

“Actually what?

As men, we should be straightforward with our words and actions!”

Tang Pingde’s voice was resounding and powerful as he spoke:

“If you want to divorce her, both Tang Long and I won’t oppose it, and I too support giving you the entire corporation; it shouldn’t benefit her or that vixen.

Giving you control of the corporation puts our minds at ease!”

“If she sincerely repents and you’re generous enough to give her a chance to reform, I’d be even happier.

If she doesn’t mend her ways, no need for a divorce – I’ll execute her myself!”

“Anyway, while this matter seems complicated, it’s actually a simple choice between two options.

If you choose the first, then I need to put in a good word for you, so your parents don’t overthink it.

What do you think?”

Wu Jie tugged at the corner of his mouth and glanced sideways at Tang Xiao, who clung to his side.

Her right hand tightly clutched his left, as if afraid he might slip away.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Jie was about to answer Old Mr.

Tang.

Suddenly, Tang Xiao’s left hand let go, and she reached out to turn off the rear seat’s reading light.

The car was plunged into silence and darkness.

“Don’t move!!”

In the darkness, Wu Jie suddenly grabbed Tang Xiao’s hand.

And although Wu Jie’s warning to Tang Xiao was very low, it was still heard by Old Mr.

Tang in the quiet car.

“What happened, Jie?

Is something wrong?

Who touched you?

Looking for trouble, are they?”

Wu Jie laughed, “No problem.

Really, there’s no need for you all to worry too much about our little couple’s mood swings.

We know what to do; we don’t need any divorce agreement.

Dad is really making a mountain out of a molehill!”

Hearing this, Tang Xiao immediately overflowed with joy.

Of course.

Tang Pingde was also astute and immediately laughed:

“Alright!

Since you’ve said so, I’m relieved!”

“But don’t forget to turn on the heater in the car; it’s cold outside late at night!”

…
