"Sorry … Daddy," Little Eggshell lowered her head guiltily.
"Daddy doesn't need your apology. Daddy wants you to tell me, why do you trust great-grandfather so much?"
"Daddy, I'm hungry …" Little Eggshell suddenly changed the subject.
Nangong Quan did not allow Little Eggshell to change the subject. Instead, he said, "Cai Er, let Daddy make things clear to you today. If you continue to be with great-grandfather, then you don't want Daddy anymore. Other kids don't have to worry about this because their grandfathers are loving, but your great-grandfather isn't."
"Daddy … great-grandfather is very kind …" Little Eggshell immediately spoke up for Elder Nangong.
"Fine. If you want to choose great-grandfather, then go live with him. From now on, Daddy won't have Cai Er anymore. To protect you, there are some things that Daddy can't tell you. For your own good, there are some things that I can't let you do. But, if you think that great-grandfather treats you better, then you can go with him. "
As soon as Little Eggshell heard this, her eyes turned red, "Daddy … you don't want Eggshell anymore."
"Eggshell doesn't want Daddy anymore. How much does Mommy worry about you every day? Yet, you don't appreciate it and you still treat Mommy with such an attitude. Cai Er, you should have known right from wrong a long time ago, but you're not like this now. You've disappointed Daddy … "
Nangong Quan was very gentle and considerate as he said a lot to Little Eggshell.
"Daddy won't blame you for choosing great-grandfather. But, I'm sure I'll be sad for a long time that my own daughter doesn't trust me …"
"Daddy, I don't want to be separated from you. I don't want to."
"But, you don't trust Daddy. You don't trust Daddy anymore."
Little Eggshell began to cry and sob. Nangong Quan did not force her. Instead, he waited for her to stop crying before he allowed her to explain everything, including how much Elder Nangong had instilled in her during this period of time.
He also told her that a stepmother wasn't as good as a real mother.
After hearing this, Nangong Quan did not say a word, but his heart was in turmoil.
Afterwards, Little Eggshell fell asleep on Nangong Quan's lap. When he finished work, he carried her home. But, as soon as he entered the living room, he saw Elder Nangong waiting for him.
Seeing that he was carrying Little Eggshell, she immediately said, "Let me carry her …"
"I know how to take care of my own daughter," Nangong Quan rejected firmly.
"But now, Cai 'er likes to stick to me."
"That was yesterday!" Nangong Quan said coldly, "Grandfather, since things have already gotten to this point, let me make things clear. Stop trying to drive a wedge between me and Cai Er. Cai Er is my daughter, so don't even think about using her as a chess piece. You'll have to step over my dead body first."
"Interesting." The old man chuckled.
Nangong Quan ignored him as he carried Little Eggshell back to her room and placed her on the bed.
But, at this time, Little Eggshell suddenly sat up and hugged Nangong Quan, "Daddy, I woke up on the way here. I heard everything you and Great-grandfather said."
"Although I still don't understand what a chess piece is, I know it's definitely not a good thing."
"Daddy, I'm sorry …"
"Stay away from great-grandpa in the future. Do you hear me?"
"OK."
"Go to sleep," Nangong Quan laid his daughter down and waited for her to fall asleep before he left the room.
However, Elder Nangong was still sitting in the living room. Looking at his back, he looked lonely and cold.
This was what it meant to be pitiful; there was bound to be something hateful about him.
When they thought about the things that he did and the words that he said, it was impossible for anyone to sympathize with him.
"Grandfather, I'm telling you right now, I won't seek revenge because I don't think the Mo Family did anything wrong! I'll say it again, this is the last time I'm going to tolerate you. If you continue to hurt my family, then don't blame me for being unfilial. "
"I … am not your family?"
"Yes, you are my family. Since you are my family, why did you hurt my wife and daughter?" Nangong Quan asked. "If you want revenge, go ahead. If you want to find a chess piece, there are plenty of others out there. But, don't touch my family …"
"You didn't even let go of a five-year-old girl, let alone your own granddaughter!"
Elder Nangong did not respond. After all, ever since he returned to the Nangong Family, he did not feel like he had received any respect.
Even in this family, Nangong Quan was constantly on guard against him.
Since they were incompatible, why should he force it?
"From now on, we are simply partners. Don't go overboard no matter what I do." After saying this, Elder Nangong turned and left the Nangong Family Home.
Although Nangong Quan's heart ached, there was nothing he could do.
From afar, Su Youran could hear the two arguing. In order not to cause any more trouble, she hid in the doorway and waited for the old man to leave before entering the house, "Don't be angry."
Nangong Quan took the opportunity to hug Su Youran and apologized, "I'm sorry for making things so difficult for you after marrying me."
"Don't worry, to prevent something like this from happening, Ning Jie will transfer the kids to another school next semester. As long as they don't see Little Eggshell, Elder Nangong will have no reason to use her," Su Youran comforted.
"Plus, I didn't seem to be of much help … I didn't take good care of Little Eggshell."
"Your job is to take care of my heart, while my job is to take care of you and Little Eggshell."
After hearing this, Su Youran wrapped her arms around Nangong Quan tightly.
However, she didn't know what extreme things he would do after his argument with Elder Nangong. Of course, Mo Ting and Tangning weren't afraid...
Originally, Elder Nangong planned to use Little Eggshell to make a move on the Mo brothers. But, now that Little Eggshell's plan had failed, what else did he have left? All he had left was the collaboration with an American film company.
Because of their hostile relationship, Little Eggshell and the Mo brothers drifted further and further away from each other. It was impossible for them to cross paths.
Although Little Eggshell was sad, with her father and mother by her side, she didn't seem to be missing anything.
It was just that a good period of childhood sweethearts had come to an end just like that …
But, the reality was, Elder Nangong had not given up on harming the Mo brothers. But, he wasn't in a rush. Instead of wasting his time, he decided to take advantage of the time before 'The Ant Queen 2' was released and threaten them.
If he failed this time, Elder Nangong didn't have the energy to continue fighting. But, this time, he was going to make the Mo Family feel pain!
