C480 Who Do You Think You Are
Faang Xiaotine secretly gritted her teeth as she racked her brains, hoping to come up with a solution to Gao Fei's current predicament as soon as possible.
However, even though she was usually extremely vigilant, she was unable to find a good way to break through in a short period of time. Especially when she saw the playful expressions on some people's faces, she started to sweat nervously.
Faang Xiaotine knew very well that the current situation was not good for Gao Fei. After all, everyone in the room was staring at him alone, and most of them were people who could make the ground tremble just by stomping their feet outside. Gao Fei was a wild kid who grew up in an orphanage, how could he bear such dignity?
Even though his elegant face showed nervousness, he was extremely happy in his heart. It was as if he could already see Gao Fei slowly lowering his head and sweating a lot as he heard the old man's disappointed sigh.
Hmph hmph, do you think that just because you have blood of Gao Family on you, you can smoothly assimilate into the Gao Family?! A trace of uncontrollable ridicule blossomed from the corner of his eyes, and Gao Fei, who was facing Old Wu with his steely eyes, suddenly laughed: "Old man, we've already met once before, why do I look at you so familiar?"
When Gao Fei said this, his expression remained calm, like an old man who was sitting on a chair and pretending to be cool. He was the old man who picked up the cabbage leaves in the market.
As for those ten-odd people standing next to him, could they be as scary as those who were killed by Gao Fei before they died?
One by one, they all stood there, pretending to not smile. Who were they trying to scare?
After hearing Gao Fei's words, Faang Xiaotine's heart almost jumped out of her throat: "Oh my god, how can you use such a tone to talk to your grandpa? Don't you see that your grandpa is testing you?" No, I have to get out!
Just when Faang Xiaotine was about to step forward and help her son, who didn't call her grandpa, she was surprised to see Old Master Gao also laugh. "Hehe, do you remember me?"
The old tutor was smiling?
To a junior!
Everyone present, including the one at the top, except for their beloved granddaughter, had almost never smiled. The impression he left was that of an extremely strict, stubborn old man. If anyone disobeyed him by a little bit, it would result in a cold snort.
But now, just when everyone thought that Gao Fei's words were too 'frivolous', the old man actually smiled. He smiled from the bottom of his heart, bringing the cat out of the house for the entire winter to see the sprout of the willow tree.
Gao Fei walked forward two steps and sat on the opposite round stool, looking very natural: "Ang, a while ago you seemed to have been to the dining hall I opened at Jinnan with another old man, right? We didn't say anything at the time. Hehe, if I had known that you were the old man, I would have given you a twenty percent discount no matter what. "
Your grandfather went to your restaurant to eat, but you only gave him a 20% discount!?
Boy, do you know the restaurants of the entire Holy Empire? They all wish for your grandfather to go there and eat for free. It would be best if you could eat for a lifetime.
Faang Xiaotine's relieved heart was lifted up once again. When she opened her mouth to say something, Gao Jiancheng just held her hand and shook his head, signaling her not to speak any nonsense.
The smile on the old man's face slowly disappeared as he asked in a displeased tone, "I'm your grandfather, how can I go to your restaurant free of charge?"
Gao Fei smiled faintly, "No."
The person at the top who was smiling slightly frowned after hearing Gao Fei say these two words.
The old man's face darkened. "Why?"
"I gave you a 20% discount because you're the old man."
Gao Fei acted as if he didn't even realize what he was saying and said calmly: "I didn't give you a free ticket because you, as an elder, never seemed to give me any benefits. This is how I do things. Whoever is good to me, I will be good to him. If you want me to be nice to people for no reason at all, that's only if I'm in a good mood. "
If the words that Gao Fei said he would offer a discount to the old man had a hint of 'trying to attract attention' to himself, then what he said now was already considered outrageous in everyone's hearts.
Faang Xiaotine's eyes darkened instinctively and her face paled. "Aiyee, my darling, how can you have such a personality?" You actually said those words to your grandfather!
Even without asking, she knew that her son's words would definitely anger the masses. Even the person at the top, who was always waiting for the younger generation's gentleness, would likely be angry.
After Gao Fei said this, the room was very quiet. It could even be said to be frighteningly quiet.
Apart from the Faang Xiaotine couple, who had their heads lowered, everyone was looking at Gao Fei in disbelief, anger, and ridicule. Was this the son that Lao Er's family had raised? How outstanding, how outstanding was the words of the couple? After all that time, it turned out to be two hundred and fifty. They were both negotiating the conditions with the old man, and yet they spoke so boldly and confidently!
In fact, not to mention the crowd, even the old man was truly angry. Even though his expression was calmer than before, his eyes were already indifferent as he looked at Gao Fei.
Gao Fei stared back at Gao as if he had no idea what Ye Zichen just said was shameless.
Silence.
Silence, a deathly silence, as if even his heart had stopped beating and time had stopped.
It was more like the calm before the arrival of the storm, where the earth would shake and the mountains would shake in the next moment.
The person on the roof lightly pursed his lips, beginning to think about how he would be able to give both of them a reasonable way out after the old tutor got angry.
Although he was dissatisfied with Gao Fei's childishness, oh, wrong, ignorance, but he also knew that Gao Fei was his second brother and his wife's heart ached for 26 years. He definitely couldn't let them have any regrets just because Gao Fei was ignorant.
He was the eldest brother.
"Cough!"
He did not know who it was, but he could not stand the current repressive atmosphere. He subconsciously coughed dryly, then raised his hand to cover his mouth.
This cough was very ear-piercing, but it broke the silence in the hall.
Old Gao leaned on his walking stick as he said indifferently, "Do you think I'm not good enough for you?"
Gao Fei answered seriously, "In my impression, you have never done your duty as a grandfather."
The old tutor's gaze grew even colder, even carrying a hint of disgust. "What kind of responsibility do you want me to shoulder?"
Gao Fei stood up from the round stool and lightly said, "If it wasn't for you, I don't think I would have grown up to 15 years old in the orphanage. I wouldn't have gone to the coal mining with the adults, and I wouldn't have known about such an illustrious grandfather until a few months ago."
The old tutor's gaze flashed again. There was less hatred in his gaze, but more sternness. "Are you blaming me, blaming me for being unfair to your parents?"
Gao Fei laughed silently and said softly, "They are your sons, daughter-in-law. No matter how you treat them, as your father, it is your right. As sons, even if they suffer great grievances, they have to endure it because you raised them. "But I've relied on my own ability to survive these 26 years until now."
Without waiting for Old Master Gao to say anything, Gao Fei sighed and continued: "Sigh, of course, I also have to admit that I have the bloodline of Gao Family. But it is precisely because of this that you are responsible to me. It was a responsibility of the elders to raise their juniors. It is a duty for a junior to filial respect his elders. Since you are not responsible for my growth, then why should I be filial towards you? "
Old Master Gao was silent. The coldness in his eyes had completely disappeared. He was deep in thought.
The bystanders also retracted their thoughts of underestimating Gao Fei, and their eyes were filled with surprise.
However, Gao Fei did not stop there. Today, he came over and decided to put this matter on the table. He then said, "The thing that makes me most unhappy is that before I decided to not accept you, you have already arranged a marriage for me."

After sneering again, Gao Fei said softly, "Old man, who do you think you are?"
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are!?
Or perhaps, what do you think is so impressive about your Gao Family!?
These six words were like a bolt of thunder that suddenly exploded above everyone's head. Gao Jiancheng could no longer bear his son's audacity and shouted, "Bastard, what are you saying?"
Gao Fei turned around and looked at Gao Jiancheng, who was full of anger, and Faang Xiaotine, who was pale. He sighed lightly and walked up to them, bowing deeply.
Faang Xiaotine suddenly understood something and asked with a trembling voice, "Fei, what … what are you doing?"
"I am your son, but I do not belong to this family. I have my own world, and I've already adapted to my life. I don't want you all, myself, to be tied down by the so-called blood that is thicker than water, to make everyone unhappy. "
After Gao Fei said this, he walked towards the door in big strides without a shred of reluctance.
"Fei!"
Faang Xiaotine raised her leg and was about to give chase, but Gao Jiancheng grabbed her hand.
At this moment, Gao Jiancheng suddenly aged many years. The anger on his face was replaced by endless grief.
"Fei!"
Faang Xiaotine's tears fell like rain, but she could only stop in her tracks.
"Halt."
Just as Gao Fei was about to step out of the door, Old Master Gao spoke.
Gao Fei wasn't stubborn this time. Instead, he stopped and turned around obediently. He looked at Ye Zichen and asked, "Old man, is there anything else?"
The old man did not answer immediately. He was silent for a while, then said: "Gao Fei, although your words are a bit harsh, they are not unreasonable. As the highest arbiter of this family, they rarely defied my wishes. But this is only against them. I have no right to decide for you. Here, I apologize for all my dissatisfaction with you. "
Another bolt from the blue.
Everyone, including the one at the top, was dumbfounded. The old man was actually apologizing to Gao Fei!?
Gao Fei smiled, "No need to apologize, you are an elder after all. Generally speaking, after I beat up my son, I don't need to apologize, because that is his right. "
The old man also smiled with appreciation. "Since you've come, I hope that you can stay and give me a chance to compensate for not being able to be your grandfather for all these years."
Gao Fei still laughed: "No need. Firstly, I don't want to be an official. Secondly, I don't want to share any of the assets of Gao Family. What I need is just to prove to the world that I, Gao Fei, am a child with a father and mother too, and not an occasional child that pops out from a stone crack.
