Chapter 129 There's only one Tian Tian

Tian Lei stood cautiously to the side, watching Grandpa Lei sitting in the living room drinking tea.

Grandpa Lei startled Tian Lei, who was eating fruit, as soon as he entered the door.

Her legs felt weak. Why would this old man come to Yun County? It's 500 kilometers from Shanghai to Yun County, and he'd traveled all that way...

Old Lei has already driven away his mother and two nephews, what more does he want?

"Dad!" Tian Lei called out softly.

Grandpa Lei didn't even glance at Tian Lei, and continued to sip his tea.

Tian Lei may not be afraid of anyone, but she is afraid of this old man Lei.

This is the patriarch of the Lei family; with just a word, he can transfer Old Lei from this small county town to the bustling city of Shanghai.

Even Lao Lei could only stand aside and whisper "yes" when he saw this old man.

Tian Lei stood carefully to one side, not daring to sit down.

Lei Jingwu was also reading a newspaper and ignored Tian Lei.

Tian Lei stood there with her big pregnant belly, not daring to say a word.

Seeing that it was almost time for Secretary Lei to get off work, Old Master Lei finally glanced at Tian Lei.

What are you standing there for? Don't you know how to sit down?

"If the third brother sees this, he'll think I've done something to you!" Old Master Lei said calmly.

Tian Lei smiled awkwardly before sitting down on the other side of the sofa, supporting her stomach.

Tian Lei had only been sitting down for less than five minutes when Secretary Lei returned.

Tian Lei quickly stood up again.

"Old Lei..."

"Dad, what brings you here?" Secretary Lei was startled by the sight of Old Master Lei sitting in the living room.

Grandpa Lei chuckled.

"What? Can't I come? Can't I come to see my grandson?" Old Master Lei put down his teacup.

Secretary Lei quickly stood at attention.

"Dad, what are you saying? You can go wherever you want, just let me know before you come so I can make arrangements."

"Jingwu, really, why didn't you tell me beforehand!" Secretary Lei glared at Lei Jingwu, who was waiting to see the show.

Lei Jingwu chuckled twice.

"Third Uncle, I was also notified at the last minute. Grandpa dragged me here yesterday."

I wasn't the one driving; there was a dedicated driver.

I can't call you while I'm on the road!

Secretary Lei also knew that Grandpa Lei had come to avenge Xiao Tiantian.

Sure enough, when Grandpa Lei looked at the people in the room, a smile finally appeared on his face.

"Jingwu, could you go to the county guesthouse and arrange a room for me? I'll be staying there tonight."

“Dad, you have… there are rooms in the house,” Secretary Lei quickly said.

Grandpa Lei waved his hand.

"I'll make do at the guesthouse for one night, and tomorrow I'll go to Nanjing to see two old comrades-in-arms."

Also, the nanny in your family... is called Aunt Li, right?

"Could you please go out and buy some local specialties from Yun County? Buy back whatever tastes good. Thank you!" Old Master Lei said with a smile.

Aunt Li immediately agreed and went out.

Soon, only Grandpa Lei, Secretary Lei, and Tian Lei remained in the room.

Secretary Lei and Tian Lei both knew that the old man had sent everyone else away so he could speak to them alone.

"Dad, let me make you another cup of tea!" Secretary Lei said.

Grandpa Lei waved his hand, gesturing for Secretary Lei to stand there.

"Third brother, don't bother. I've come here to talk to you about something."

"Dad, please speak, I'm listening!" Secretary Lei quickly stood up straight again.

Tian Lei also stood cautiously to the side with her head down, not daring to say a word.

"Third son, do you remember what I said when you remarried?" Old Master Lei stared at Secretary Lei.

Secretary Lei felt a chill run down his spine and lowered his head without saying a word.

Grandpa Lei chuckled and began to speak to himself.

"Tian Lei's family is a very distant relative of your second sister-in-law."

She went to Shanghai for a visit, and your second sister-in-law hosted her out of courtesy. Who would have thought that the two of you would actually fall for each other?

Fine, one is willing to hit, and the other is willing to be hit, I have no objection.

Given your age, it doesn't seem right to always have you staying at home.

After all, Chinese law doesn't stipulate that you can't remarry, right?

Although I was against your remarriage at first, I meant that we should wait until Tiantian was older and more accepting before discussing this matter.

You promised so readily, saying you'd wait a few more years.

Who knows... Never mind, I'm too lazy to talk about those things.

Who told you to get a marriage certificate with Tian Lei despite my objections!

I had no choice at that time. I only had one request for you: to treat Tiantian well and take good care of her.

After you were transferred to Yun County, I specifically told you to bring Tiantian along, just in case the bond between you and your son faded.

But who would have thought that I was wrong about this?

I never imagined that I would suffer such injustice while living here every day.

Third brother, do you remember how you and Tian Tian's mother grew up together? You two can be said to be childhood sweethearts.

When your mother passed away, didn't you not be able to eat for a week?

"Could you forget someone so quickly?" Old Master Lei stared intently at Secretary Lei.

Secretary Lei dared not look Old Master Lei in the eye.

Tian Lei, who was standing nearby, quickly tried to interject.

“Dad, that’s all in the past. People always move on…”

"Shut up! Do you even have the right to speak?" Old Master Lei glared coldly at Tian Lei.

"If you can't speak properly, then don't speak!" Secretary Lei also scolded Tian Lei.

Tian Lei, who ends up pleasing neither side...

Grandpa Lei glanced at Tian Lei, then at her belly.

"You're going to be a mother yourself, how can you be so heartless! You've been trying so hard to maintain your relationship, what more do you want from him?"

He's only seven years old! Still a child! Grandpa Lei slammed his fist on the table in anger.

Grandpa Lei felt heartbroken at the thought of Xiaotian crying so hard he couldn't catch his breath.

Tian Lei gritted her teeth and dared not say a word.

She touched her belly and clenched both hands tightly.

Yes, she's a mother too, and she'll have her own children...

"Third brother, I'm here today to tell you something, so listen carefully."

I have many sons, not just you.

Similarly, I have many grandchildren, but only one every day.

The only child who shares the bloodlines of both the Lei and Gu families is Tiantian.

Do you understand?

Yunxian is a good place. If you work hard here, you should be able to accomplish a lot. Stay here for a few more years!

As for you wanting to be a father again... that's your business. Regardless of gender, to show support for family planning, it's better for the child to take the mother's surname! "Grandpa Lei said calmly.

Secretary Lei...

Tian Lei looked up at Old Master Lei in horror...
