Chapter 371 It’s not the Uniting by Marriage

Ling Desheng had been in the VIP room with some old friends. Seeing that He Meishu didn’t go back, he walked out to have a look. But he didn’t expect that he would witness what was happening. He was so excited that he almost had a heart attack again. Supporting himself by a chair, he finally regained his consciousness after a long time.

Ling Desheng stretched out his arms to Taotao as well. It could be seen from Ling Desheng’s eyes that he loved Taotao very much.

“Taotao, call him grandpa!” Ling Tianyi said with a smile, “Let your grandpa hold you in his arms! Your grandpa is healthy, so he is strong enough!”

“You old guy, why did you walk out to compete with me instead of accompanying your old friends in the VIP room?” He Meishu pushed Ling Desheng away and stretched out her arms to Taotao again.

“Taotao, do you like to be held by your grandma or your grandpa?” Ling Desheng continued asking.

Being in a dilemma, Taotao said in a cool way, “Taotao doesn’t want to be held because I have grown up. Taotao will walk on my own!”

“Nice! What a good boy! You are so ambitious! Come on! Walk on your own!” Ling Tianyi was also in a dilemma, so he put Taotao down, “Well, you can continue acting as a waiter and picking up some food for daddy and mommy. Take more food because your grandparents also like eating seafood. Your grandma likes eating the scallops, and your grandpa likes eating the salmons.”

“I see. I will take the food you like!” Taotao continued playing happily.

“Dad and mom! How about eating with us together?” Ling Tianyi said, “But Taotao likes selecting the food and cooking the food on his own. So we are eating in the hall instead of eating in a VIP room. By doing so, when Taotao goes to pick up the food, I can watch him for fear that he will lose his way.”

“OK, let’s eat in the hall,” He Meishu said with a smile.

“OK! I will go to tell my old friends about it!” Ling Desheng said, and then he glanced at Taotao, who was picking up the food. Later, he strode to the VIP room to deal with it.

Xia Xiaoluo went to help Taotao to pick up the food, while Ling Tianyi sat down with He Meishu.

“My son! You found my grandson, but why didn’t you tell me about it?” He Meishu abused Ling Tianyi.

“Mom, I’m afraid that you won’t accept Xiaoluo. I can’t live without Xiaoluo, and your grandson also can’t live without his mommy!” Ling Tianyi said, he looked serious.

“No, no, I won’t hurt Xiaoluo at all. She is the mother of my grandson. For the sake of my grandson, I will take good care of Xiaoluo. Love the mother, love the son. Now that I love my grandson, I will also love Xiaoluo. Choose one day to hold the wedding!” He Meishu’s attitude made Ling Tianyi relieved.

“What about my dad?” Ling Tianyi asked. He knew why Xia Xiaoluo left him, what Ling Desheng had done made Xia Xiaoluo misunderstand him.

“Now we don’t have to pay attention to the Qiao family. Don’t you realize that your father likes Taotao very much? He will accept Xiaoluo for the sake of Taotao. He was reluctant to find a stepmother for Taotao!” He Meishu said, “My son, don’t worry. Your mother will help you and Xiaoluo. Take it easy.”

“Well, let’s make an appointment and spend some time discussing my marriage tonight! Taotao will be with us later. We can’t talk about it in front of him because he is still very young!” Ling Tianyi said calmly. He must get married to Xia Xiaoluo successfully this time. If his parents said yes but meant no, he didn’t mind leaving home together with Xia Xiaoluo. However, he chose to believe in his parents for now. Because many things had changed because of Taotao. What was more, Xia Xiaoluo had a new identity, so his parents would definitely be satisfied.

“OK! Let’s have the meal happily and leave the past alone later. The most important thing is to make my grandson happy!” He Meishu smiled happily when she thought of Taotao.

“I will go to tell your father about it and ask him not to say anything improper!” He Meishu said and entered the VIP room. Now that she wanted to unite with her grandson, it was polite and reasonable for her to tell those old friends about it.

He Meishu left, and Ling Tianyi went to Xia Xiaoluo’s side at once, “Xiaoluo, when we have the meal later, don’t tell them that you and Taotao won’t go home with us because they won’t agree. Tell them that you will take Taotao to ride a roller coaster in the amusement park after the meal. So my parents won’t follow you. After having fun, I will send you back to your grandpa’s home. And then, I will go home and explain it to my parents in detail.”

“OK! I see. I’m not that stupid!” Xia Xiaoluo smiled.

“Taotao, how about going to the amusement park to ride a roller coaster with daddy after lunch?” Ling Tianyi said.

“Yeah! Nice! I like it! I like it very much!” Taotao was very delighted.

During the meal, they were all very happy. All the people focused on Taotao instead of mentioning the terrible memory in the past. Taotao also behaved like an adult. He was busy picking up the food for the elders and cooking the food for them, he was very happy.

“Dad and mom! Xiaoluo and I will take Taotao to ride a roller coaster in the amusement park,” Ling Tianyi said and paused for a second, “It’s hot today, and you are not in good condition. So please go home first, let’s have a discussion in the evening.”

“Well, it’s hot now. So take good care of Taotao for fear that he will suffer the heatstroke,” He Meishu exhorted them. If she was strong enough to go with Taotao, she would definitely follow them to accompany her baby grandson.

“Come back home early!” Ling Desheng said.

Seeing that Ling Desheng and He Meishu got on the car, Ling Tianyi finally sighed a relief. He said to Taotao, “Taotao, let’s go to have fun!”

While Taotao was having fun in the amusement park, Ling Desheng and He Meishu didn’t go home. Instead, they went to a shopping mall to buy clothes and toys for their grandson. They bought things by competing with each other. Because they both thought that what he or she bought would please their grandson most.

After going home, Ling Desheng and He Meishu asked someone to clean two rooms up. One room was for Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo when they came home. The other one was for their baby grandson. Although they knew that the family of three wouldn’t live there for long, they two would make the best preparations for them to live. Especially the room for Taotao, Ling Desheng designed it personally. What was more, he also asked some designers to rectify the design. In a word, Ling Desheng really made great efforts.

In the evening, after sending Xia Xiaoluo and Taotao back, Ling Tianyi returned his parents’ villa alone.

“Dad and mom! I’m back.”

The old couple was arguing about what color of the room Taotao would like. But Ling Tianyi interrupted them.

They looked around, but couldn’t find Taotao. “Where is Taotao? Why didn’t my baby grandson come back with you?”

“Taotao went back to live with Xiaoluo. I haven’t married Xiaoluo yet, so we can’t live together now.” Ling Tianyi was also upset about this problem, but he had to listen to Ouyang Feng’s words.

“Taotao has already grown up, and you will have a wedding sooner or later. What’s more, for the sake of Taotao, we will hold a grand wedding for you. Go to bring Xiaoluo and Taotao back at once. Your father and I have arranged your rooms for you living here temporarily. We are also designing a room with the best location for Taotao when he comes back. Your father decided to offer his study to Taotao because the study is the brightest room in our villa,” He Meishu said.

“Dad and mom, things are different now. I can’t marry Xiaoluo easily now. Have a seat, and I will tell you about it in detail,” Ling Tianyi said, and then he asked Ling Desheng and He Meishu to sit down.

Ling Tianyi made some tea for his parents, and then he told them about what Xia Xiaoluo experienced in Y Country as he knew.

“Oh, my God! Xiaoluo is the child of the Ouyang family!” He Meishu sighed, “Anyway, if you marry the daughter of the Ouyang family, it will be a matched marriage with our Ling family.”

“That will be troublesome,” Ling Desheng said, “If Xiaoluo is the child of the Ouyang family, they won’t suffer losses themselves. Xiaoluo gave birth to a child without marriage. What’s more, Xiaoluo has lived in the Ouyang family for several years, so the Ouyang family would definitely be angry with us. They wouldn’t agree with the marriage easily.”

“Dad, you are right!” Ling Tianyi continued to say, “Xiaoluo’s grandpa has made some requests. First, my parents shouldn’t treat Xiaoluo like what happened in the past, which I believe that you can make it. Second, there shouldn’t be other women around me, and I have promised to him. Third, the wedding must be grand and luxurious.”

“Therefore, the wedding must be grand!” Ling Tianyi said, “What’s more, Xiaoluo’s grandpa hasn’t agreed at the marriage yet. I told him that I would tell him the most thorough plan, showing my sincerity when I propose a marriage.”

“Don’t worry, my son. Dad and mom will support you! Just go ahead as you like. Tell us if you encounter difficulties, we will try our best to help you!” Ling Desheng said, “In order to bring my grandson back, we must manage to unite with the Ouyang family by marriage.”

“Dad, it’s not the uniting by marriage. Your son wants to get married because of love,” Ling Tianyi said.

“Right. We shouldn’t let the Ouyang family know the word of uniting by marriage. Although the Ouyang family is not as powerful as us in A City, the family is powerful enough abroad. If they want to unite by marriage, they have many other options. So now, when you propose, just talk about the love between you and Xiaoluo, and the happy growth for the sake of Taotao. This is the key point. What’s more, we will prepare for the rich bride-price and a luxurious and grand wedding plan. Let’s go to propose the marriage together, and I believe that the Ouyang family will agree,” Ling Desheng said, he made it clear in a very short time.

“The Ouyang family will take Xiaoluo’s attitude into consideration, as well. What’s more, Xiaoluo has agreed at the marriage, and she will support me,” Ling Tianyi said.

“Make the preparations as soon as possible!” Ling Desheng said, “Don’t hesitate to ask us for help. If you encounter any trouble, call us at once. Even though I’m old now, I have many old friends and connections.”

“OK! I see!” Ling Tianyi said, “Therefore, I come back home to discuss it with you. Although I’m confident that I can arrange everything, I need my parents to help me with the details.”

“Give me a plan in 3 days. I will search for the nearest auspicious day in the almanac to propose the marriage,” Ling Desheng said.

“OK! Let’s have dinner first!” Seeing that the servants have made the dinner ready, He Meishu said so because they couldn’t suffer hunger regardless of what happened.
