Xiao FengHan was also taken aback! He hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I don't dare to make this bet."
Old Lady Ling smiled calmly and said, "Xiao Han, Sister-in-law made this decision after careful consideration! If Tian 'er continues to be as disappointing as he is now, then the more property our Ling family leaves for him, the worse it will be for him. It will only cause him to be consigned to eternal damnation. Why don't we give half of the property to your Xiao family, as a token of our goodwill! "She emphasized the last part of her sentence.
Everyone was puzzled by her words and did not understand what she meant.
Ling Tian secretly laughed in his heart. So it turns out that his grandmother was the one who was truly wise and appeared to be stupid!
Old Lady Ling's actions were equivalent to telling Xiao FengHan: I know all the plans of your Xiao family. However, even if your Xiao family wants to cause trouble, our Ling family will not openly help you. Although the marriage has been annulled, we can still give you half of the property as a token of our previous friendship! Of course, this is only possible if you win the bet. If you lose, then I'm sorry, but my Grandson will be your grandson-in-law! No matter how far your Xiao family will go, even if you manage to unify the world, half of that world will belong to my Grandson!
Xiao FengHan naturally understood the meaning of Old Lady Ling's words. These words had already expressed that the Ling family would not participate in the Xiao family's grand plan, and could only help the Xiao family in such a subtle way. Of course, it was unknown whether Old Lady Ling's original intention was this, but Xiao FengHan understood it as such. This was because in Xiao FengHan's eyes, this arrogant and hedonistic Ling Tian in front of him was not worthy of his granddaughter. He believed that as long as it was a woman, she would be disgusted by such a child, not to mention his extremely intelligent granddaughter!
Ling Tian immediately prostrated himself in admiration! With the influence of the Xiao family, their ambitions were constantly expanding. Furthermore, the possibility of them succeeding was extremely high. Old Lady Ling's gamble seemed to be extremely risky, but it was actually a foolproof plan to protect her family!
If the Xiao family failed, the Ling family would still be able to stay out of trouble. If the Xiao family succeeded, the Ling family would rise even more. In other words, no matter whether the Xiao family succeeded or not, the Ling family would still be safe and sound for decades! From this point of view, it was a huge advantage! Especially when her family had taken advantage of the situation, she had also acted like a good girl and plotted against the entire Xiao family. He even made Xiao FengHan owe the Ling family a huge favor! Ling Tian was full of admiration! What a good move! It turned out that the most sinister person in the Ling family was not Ling Tian, but Ling Tian's grandmother!
Sure enough, Xiao FengHan did not think of this step. He only thought that Old Lady Ling was indirectly helping him in his future plans after the marriage failed. His heart warmed and he could not help but say gratefully, "Alright, this little brother will not be unreasonable. I accept this gamble!" As he said that, he called his granddaughter over and said, "Now that the marriage no longer exists, this Blood Phoenix Jasper Bracelet is the heirloom of the Ling family. We cannot let this girl take it away."
Old Lady Ling snorted and said proudly, "So what if it's the heirloom of the family? It's just a bracelet. This old lady has never taken back anything that she has given away for forty years. " She laughed in her heart. This old lady has taken a liking to this girl. Even if I have to force my grandson to hang himself, I will make him kidnap this girl back for this old lady in the future! In that case, wouldn't the heirloom of the Ling family come back with him? What's wrong with giving the heirloom to my granddaughter-in-law?
Xiao FengHan suddenly laughed and said, "Since that's the case, this little brother will not say anything."
Lin Zhan had been listening the whole time. He did not mind that his wife had given away half of the family's property. In the eyes of this straightforward old man, gold and silver were just worldly possessions. Even if he gave it to the Xiao family, it would still be in the hands of his brothers. It could be considered as keeping the goodies within the family.
However, he was puzzled by the old lady's attitude towards the cancellation of the marriage. His wife had always placed great importance on this marriage. Why was she so indifferent towards the cancellation of the Xiao family's engagement today? He could not help but look at his wife with puzzlement in his eyes. This old lady couldn't have become muddle-headed because of her grandson, right? However, he did not find anything out of the ordinary, so he decided not to think about it anymore. He waved his hand and said, "Little ones, prepare a table of good wine and dishes. Today, this old man and my brothers will have a good drink!"
As Old Madam Ling saw Ling Zhan's expression, she could not help but feel depressed in her heart. It was one thing for this silly old man to be dumb, but she had always prided herself on her intellect. To think that she was actually kept in the dark by this little fellow! If not for the fact that I was in a critical situation due to my anger and had no choice but to save this little fellow, I'm afraid I would not have discovered this little fellow's secret!
She also felt strange in her heart. Not only had she never seen the warm energy that Ling Tian had used to unblock her meridians, she had also never heard of such a miraculous martial art in this world! Who did this little fellow learn it from? Why did he never reveal it? Who was the mastermind behind today's events? What was his intention? Tian 'er had never left home since he was young. He had basically grown up right under her nose. When did he meet that mysterious master and gain his favor? Logically speaking, these things should not have been able to hide from her. However, the truth was that she knew nothing! She had not even heard of any rumors beforehand! That was strange.
Although Old Lady Ling already knew that Ling Tian was not what he appeared to be on the surface, she would never believe that Ling Tian had planned all of this by himself. Furthermore, he had even directed and acted all by himself! No matter how smart Ling Tian was, no matter how much of a genius he was, in Old Lady Ling's eyes, he was only a five-year-old child!
Therefore, after Ling Tian had treated her, Old Lady Ling immediately concluded that there must be a mysterious master behind Ling Tian! Furthermore, this master should not have any ill intentions towards the Ling family!
It could not be denied that the old lady's conjecture was completely reasonable and logical. Of course, if Ling Tian was not a freak who had reincarnated with memories, Old Lady Ling's conjecture would no longer be a conjecture. It would be the absolute truth! However, Old Lady Ling had completely walked into the wrong place!
Seeing that the storm had passed, Ling Xiao's tense nerves finally relaxed. Seeing that Ling Tian was still in his mother's arms, he could not help but feel angry. "Little bastard, get over here!"
Before Ling Tian could react, Old Lady Ling had already glared at him. "What are you doing? Do you really think your wings have hardened? In the future, without my permission, don't you dare touch Tian 'er's finger! I'll break your legs! "
Ling Xiao was helpless. He was so angry that his eyes were about to spit fire. "Mother, Tian 'er is so naughty. If we don't teach him a lesson, I'm afraid …"
Before he could finish, Old Lady Ling angrily interrupted him. "What's there to be afraid of? How to educate a child? Do you think I need you to teach me? Get lost! " As she said that, she held Ling Tian's little hand with one hand and Xiao YanXue with the other. She walked past the crowd and returned to her room. Before her figure disappeared, she turned around and said to Lin Zhan, "If you dare to get drunk, you better be careful." Only then did she leave.
All the men in the hall looked at each other. After a long while, Xiao FengHan suddenly burst into laughter. He did not expect that after thirty years, his brother was still so henpecked. It seemed that it would be difficult for him to establish his position as the husband in this life. Lin Zhan's old face flushed red. He felt that he had lost face in front of his sworn brother.
