Chapter 147

But the sight of the grandfather and grandson embracing each other warmed He Feng's heart.

A surge of warmth, like a gentle stream, flowed through the depths of He Feng's heart.

It was only then that he realized how precious the family ties he had never taken seriously were.

"What a heartwarming scene, Mr. He Feng."

Wu Liang spoke calmly.

His eyes, as cold and clear as the night, held no trace of emotion.

But he was indeed touched by He Jingao and He Xue.

Looking at He Jingao, whose eyes were full of doting affection, Wu Liang clenched his fists a little tighter.

For some reason, he felt a sense of envy after seeing this scene.

He was deeply moved by the familial bond between He Xue and He Jingao.

"This feeling of being touched..."

I felt that longing coming from within myself.

Wu Liang placed his right hand on his chest and murmured softly.

This deep-seated envy and longing made Wu Liang feel somewhat depressed.

"Was it Wu Liang's regret...?"

He exhaled heavily, releasing the stale air from his chest.

Wu Liang scratched his head, a bit annoyed, and gave a wry smile.

Although he has now completely replaced Wu Liang in the original game.

But despite being a substitute, a trace of the other's lingering resentment still remains in this body.

"Wu Liang is actually a pitiful person."

Muttering to himself, Wu Liang shook his head, clearing his mind of the distracting thoughts.

He was moved by what he saw.

A large part of the reason is the lingering resentment left by the original Wu Liang.

In this game setting, Wu Liang, as a villainous young master, has almost never experienced the concept of family affection.

Even though Mu Xinrou would occasionally come back to visit, it was only a formality.

Wu Liang had never truly felt the love from her parents.

In particular, Wu Liang's father Wu Xingsheng, did not treat Wu Liang as his son.

Instead, they regarded Wu Liang as a piece of trash, or even worse than trash.

It was precisely because he had never experienced fatherly or motherly love that Yuan Wu Liang's personality became so twisted.

"So, I'm being affected by Yuan Wu Liang's lingering regret?"

Wu Liang pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a bit of a headache.

Even my good mood was somewhat suppressed.

It seems that Wu Liang really values family ties.

"Wu Liang? Are you alright?"

Suddenly, a large hand flashed before my eyes.

He Feng, who had appeared in front of him without him noticing, was looking at him with a worried expression.

"What?"

Wu Liang was slightly taken aback after regaining his senses.

Did I just act strangely?

"It's nothing, I just noticed you looked uncomfortable."

"And I called you several times but you didn't respond."

He Feng initially thought that Wu Liang was feeling unwell.

But he breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that Wu Liang had returned to normal.

"Sorry, I was daydreaming."

Wu Liang smiled apologetically.

He had indeed been distracted earlier.

However, he really didn't expect that he would be affected by Yuan Wu Liang's lingering resentment.

"It might not just be that guy's lingering resentment, but also a trace of my own lingering resentment mixed in."

Wu Liang touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.

It wasn't just Yuan Wu Liang's lingering regret; even he himself had such thoughts.

How many people wouldn't envy such a strong family bond?

"Grandpa, I'd like to introduce someone to you today."

"I had a big misunderstanding about him before, and only today do I understand his feelings for me."

"So I hope to bring him to meet you, Grandpa, and at the same time dispel any misunderstandings you may have about him."

Suddenly, as if she had remembered something, He Xue hurriedly got up.

I was so excited to see my grandfather safe and sound that I forgot about Wu Liang.

"My misunderstanding of him?"

He Jingao to see his granddaughter so serious.

He stroked his chin, lost in thought. Who had he misunderstood?

Xiaoxue rarely talks about her classmates in college when she chats with him.

After all, it's an academy for the wealthy and powerful, so it won't be easy for Xiaoxue to fit in well.

But if we're talking about misunderstanding, then it seems like only...

Hmm? Wait... could it be that Xiaoxue is talking about...?

"Wu Liang, don't just stand at the door, come in quickly."

The moment He Xue opened her mouth, He Jingao suddenly shuddered.

As if he had seen a ghost, he sat up straight and hurriedly looked up at the door.

I hadn't noticed her earlier because I was so focused on chatting with Xiaoxue.

When He Jingao saw the young man gradually emerging from the shadows, his expression changed dramatically.

"Um... I'm Wu Liang, He Xue's classmate..."

"It's our first time meeting, please take good care of me."

Wu Liang forced a smile onto his lips, which he considered to be a rather gentle one.

Looking at He Jingao lying on the hospital bed, staring at him with wide eyes, Wu Liang winked and gave him a knowing look.

This old man, at least, said something.

Why are you looking so shocked? Are you hoping He Xue will find out we know each other?

"Ah... ahhh! I know... you're Wu Liang, the guy Xiaoxue was talking about... that brat who always bullies my Xiaoxue!!!"

He Jingao realized what Wu Liang meant after seeing the wink he gave him.

He quickly put on a displeased look, glaring at Wu Liang with his beard bristling and eyes wide open.

Holy crap? How did this kid suddenly show up here??

Could it be that Xiaoxue brought him here? But why would she do that?

"Grandpa! No, I misunderstood him before!!"

"Actually, Wu Liang did those things for my own good, but I didn't understand why."

"I want Grandpa to get to know Wu Liang again. He's truly a kind person who cares about me!!!"

Seeing He Jingao, He Xue hurriedly explained.

She didn't want her grandfather to continue misunderstanding Wu Liang.

Everything Nan Zhu said was like a branding iron, deeply etched into her heart, unforgettable.

To protect themselves from being looked down upon by others, they are willing to become the clown in everyone's eyes.

She didn't want any more people to misunderstand Wu Liang.

After learning Wu Liang's true feelings, she could no longer dislike him.

Wu Liang is not a clown, but her hero...

Chapter 95: Gathering Together

He Jingao felt extremely frustrated.

Especially when she looked at Wu Liang, her eyes were filled with conflict.

He probably understood He Xue wanted to express to him.

Xiaoxue mainly didn't want him to continue misunderstanding Wu Liang.

All the terrible things his beloved granddaughter had told him about Wu Liang were because of her own actions.

Xiaoxue failed to see Wu Liang's true feelings at the time, and was misled by the things he did.

For over a year, she regarded Wu Liang as a villain and a scoundrel.

He failed to realize that all of this was done to get her attention.

They also failed to notice that Wu Liang was helping her in such a strange way so that she wouldn't be ostracized or bullied.

This proves that Xiaoxue's previous descriptions of Wu Liang were all wrong.

The real Wu Liang was not the scoundrel that Xiaoxue had described to her.

He is a model student who is willing to sacrifice himself to secretly protect Xiaoxue.

(I really have to thank you two. You made this old man listen to a teen romance soap opera that's enough to make my stomach hurt.)

Hiss...

What kind of mess are you kids making of...?

He Jingao covered his somewhat dazed head and remained silent for a long time.

Wait, wait, let him sort out the cause and effect of the matter.

This means that Wu Liang wasn't a bad person from the beginning. (He just deliberately pretended to be a thug.)

However, her beloved granddaughter had always misunderstood him. (Therefore, she deeply disliked Wu Liang.)

Although the misunderstanding between the two has been resolved, a new misunderstanding has clearly arisen.

Wu Liang disguised himself Mr. KFC to help Xiaoxue and won her favor.

Xiaoxue didn't know that KFC was Wu Liang, so she was grateful to KFC.

The most frustrating thing is that Xiaoxue now truly understands Wu Liang's feelings.

Therefore, he also developed a liking for Wu Liang's special brew.

But Wu Liang, that damn guy, happens to be KFC fan, but he doesn't want He Xue to know that fact yet.

[Wu Liang wanted to gain Xiaoxue's approval and acceptance by being her classmate. (This part is purely He Jingao's imagination.)]

Damn it, could you guys make this relationship any more complicated? Huh??

"Oh, God..."
