A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 500: Embarrassment

At first, Xiong Jianxin thought he had misheard. Tingting didn't even have a boyfriend, let alone a fiancé, so he thought he had misheard. It wasn't until Chao Bufan repeated it that he realized what he had heard and immediately roared angrily, "Who do you think you are? Who are you? What makes you think you're Tingting's fiancé?"

"Haqiu!"

Chao Bufan suddenly sneezed, and Xiong Jianxin shuddered. When no one was paying attention, he chuckled and sat back down like a sleepy Lazy Sheep. Then he stupidly started biting his fingers and making smacking noises.

"Um—" Chao Bufan said to Gu Changfeng, "Mr. Gu, oh no, Father-in-law, you're really not being fair! Knowing that Tingting is already my fiancée, you still betrothed her to someone else. That's just too unfair!"

"Hey, when did I—" Gu Tingting was about to explain, what was this guy up to? When did I become his fiancée?

Therefore, Gu Tingting was about to lose her temper, but Chao Bufan beat her to it and shouted sharply, "Shut up, women shouldn't interrupt when men are talking."

Chao Bufan's words effectively silenced Gu Tingting. Strangely, Gu Tingting fell silent after hearing Chao Bufan's domineering words. Chao Bufan glanced at her and then asked Gu Changfeng, "Father-in-law, how much money did you borrow from Old Master Xiong? And you didn't even consult him before unilaterally betrothing my fiancée to someone else."

"This... I—" Gu Changfeng stammered, completely disoriented, unable to speak clearly.

"You good-for-nothing, hurry up and tell me how much money you borrowed from Old Master Xiong!" Old Master Gu didn't understand Chao Bufan's meaning at first, but he quickly realized it and shouted at his eldest son.

"I...I—"

Gu Changfeng stammered, not daring to tell the truth, while his second brother, Gu Jingfeng, urged, "Big brother, hurry up and tell us! How much money did you borrow from Grandpa Xiong?"

Xiong Aiguo chuckled and said, "You guys shouldn't pressure him. Let me tell you! Actually, my nephew Changfeng didn't lend me much money, just fifty million euros."

"What?!" Everyone from the Gu family present was shocked upon hearing this.

Grandpa Gu was so angry that he almost fell backward. Fortunately, Chao Bufan responded in time and helped him up. Chao Bufan also secretly transferred a trace of his true energy to Grandpa Gu, so that he was not seriously injured. Grandpa Gu quickly nodded to Chao Bufan to express his gratitude.

"Big brother, you—"

The brothers Gu Jingfeng and Gu Qingfeng were also furious.

"Changfeng, how could you be so foolish?" Gu Tingting's mother said, her voice trembling with tears, wishing she could slap her husband right then and there.

Chao Bufan released his hand from supporting Old Master Gu and smiled slightly, "It's just fifty million, what's the big deal? Is it really that big of a deal?"

"That's right!" Old Master Xiong laughed. "Brother, your health is the most important thing! Don't let this little thing harm your health. Money is a small matter, but regarding this marriage, my nephew Changfeng made it very clear to me that he would immediately agree to the marriage once I brought Jianxin to propose. Since my nephew Changfeng has already betrothed Tingting to someone else, why did he say he would betroth Tingting to my Jianxin in the first place? Brother, you have to give me an explanation for this!"

"Grandpa," Xiong Jianxin suddenly raised his head, sucking on his fingers and looking silly, "I need to pee."

Before anyone could react, he urinated, instantly soaking the area around his feet.

"Huh??" Everyone was stunned.

Realizing what was happening, Gu Tingting let out a scream and quickly scurried behind Old Master Gu.

Realizing what had happened, Old Master Xiong's face flushed red, and he scolded, "Jianxin, you—"

"Hahahaha—" Old Master Gu laughed and said, "Brother Xiong, with your grandson looking like that, you still want to marry my granddaughter Tingting?"

Seeing his face turn bright red, Xiong Aiguo quickly went to his grandson and scolded him in a low voice, "Jianxin, what are you doing? Don't you know you need to go to the bathroom?"

"Grandpa," Xiong Jianxin said innocently, "I just couldn't hold it in!"

"You—" Xiong Aiguo was furious and said angrily, "You have to hold it in even if you can't! Don't you see what kind of occasion this is?"

"Grandpa," Xiong Jianxin said, shaking his grandfather's hand, "I want candy, I want candy."

"This—" Everyone was stunned again. What on earth was going on? How could a perfectly normal person suddenly—

Even Xiong Aiguo was stunned by his grandson's sudden unusual behavior. After a moment, he quickly pressed his hand to his grandson's forehead and asked, "Jianxin, what's wrong with you?"

Jianxin has never been like this before. He's a perfectly normal person. What kind of crazy thing is going on? Xiong Aiguo simply couldn't understand why his grandson, Xiong Jianxin, would suddenly act like this.

However, as soon as he placed his hand on it, Xiong Jianxin grabbed his hand, took his finger into his mouth, and started sucking on it, saying with a look of great enjoyment, "Delicious, delicious."

"Asshole."

Xiong Aiguo's eyes twitched suddenly, feeling utterly humiliated. Enraged, he quickly withdrew his hand and slapped him across the face.

"Snapped!"

A sharp crack immediately made Xiong Jianxin burst into tears.

"Waaaah~ Grandpa, you actually hit me! I don't want to live anymore!"

As he spoke, Xiong Jianxin collapsed to the ground, wailing loudly as if he were about to die.

His crying and fussing left everyone in the Gu family dumbfounded. Grandpa Gu, realizing what was happening, quickly picked up a piece of candy from the ground, walked over to the hysterical Xiong Jianxin, and said with a smile, "Good boy, don't cry, don't cry. Grandpa Gu will give you candy."

Upon seeing the candy, Xiong Jianxin immediately stopped crying, quickly got up, and began to happily munch on the candy.

"Is it good or not?" Old Master Gu asked.

"Yes, it's delicious, it's delicious." Xiong Jianxin nodded hurriedly.

"Eat as much as you like, Grandpa Gu has plenty at home."

"Thank you, Grandpa Gu."

Grandpa Gu smiled, then looked at Xiong Aiguo, whose face had turned purple with anger, and said, "Brother Xiong, it's not that I'm unwilling to marry Tingting to your precious grandson. Look at yourself, if I were to marry Tingting to your precious grandson, would I be at ease?"

"Humph!"

Xiong Aiguo was nearly driven mad by his grandson's unusual behavior. He had long coveted all of the Gu family's assets, and this time he had finally found leverage over them. If the marriage proposal succeeded, he could complete his plan to seize all of the Gu family's businesses. But now, with his grandson's outburst, his long-planned scheme had completely failed. He was utterly humiliated. At this moment, he felt like strangling his grandson, wishing he could disappear into the ground. With a cold snort, he stormed off in anger.
