Chapter 480: Chapter 480 Help Us
At the dinner table, Sheng Tang and her grandmother pretended nothing was wrong.
The family had dinner and then each retreated to their rooms.
Gu Shiting was doing his homework in Sheng Tang’s room, while Sheng Tang lay on her grandmother’s bed, doing nothing, her mind constantly turning.
She fell asleep before nine o’clock.
Her grandmother took a bath later, and when she entered the room, she couldn’t help but smile.
She quietly turned off the light.
At two in the morning, Sheng Tang’s phone rang—it was her alarm.
Older people have light sleep, and as soon as the alarm went off, she woke up too.
"Why did you set an alarm for the middle of the night?" her grandmother asked.
Sheng Tang mumbled, "I accidentally set it wrong before bed."
Her grandmother didn’t believe her.
Sheng Tang’s alarm was usually set, just needing to be turned on or off, so how could it be wrong?
She had already slept for five hours and felt pretty awake, so she got up and washed her face.
Then, she lay back down and turned off the light, saying to her grandmother, "It’s only two o’clock, go back to sleep, Grandma."
Once disturbed, older people have a hard time falling back asleep.
Her grandmother quietly asked Sheng Tang, "Why did you set an alarm for the middle of the night?"
Sheng Tang knew her grandmother had been through a lot and hiding things from her would only make her more scared.
"Didn’t someone block the cameras around three o’clock yesterday morning? I was thinking, could it be related to us? If so, they might act tonight," Sheng Tang said.
Her grandmother’s back instantly broke out in a cold sweat, "You mean, they’re coming for Ting?"
"The method was crude, not likely someone daring enough to target Ting, probably coming for us," Sheng Tang said.
Without some skill, who would dare touch the young master of the Gu Family?
"Us?" her grandmother was astonished.
She was truly shocked.
Their family had always been kind and friendly, how could they have enemies?
"Mainly because we’ve been too close to Grandpa," Sheng Tang said, "We went there yesterday, and everyone from the old house rushed over in the afternoon.
This shows how anxious they are, afraid that Grandpa might give us some benefits. Grandpa has also stopped the allowance for the three kids at the old house, making them even more uneasy."
Her grandmother immediately understood.
She felt both cold and pained, and very angry.
"It’s me who often advised your father not to fight with the old man," her grandmother said, "From an outsider’s perspective, who really wants to end up alone?
Your grandmother is gone, leaving your father only his closest elder, your grandfather. You can’t just abandon him.
It’s true that your grandfather wronged your grandmother and your father, but later on, he also helped your father a lot; that can’t be denied.
Now it seems, I was wrong. Your grandpa already has a family, and those people guard against you like thieves. We really shouldn’t have stirred things up."
Sheng Tang gently held her grandmother’s hand.
"You didn’t know back then," Sheng Tang smiled, "Besides, it’s because we’re excellent that they treat us this way.
If my dad was inferior to them, they wouldn’t be wary of him. What does this show? It shows Grandma is the best at raising Dad and us."
Her grandmother was amused by her.
This little girl, she sure knew how to please people.
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.
In the dead of night, past two in the morning, a knock at the door was deeply alarming.
Sheng Tang got up immediately and ran to her room to wake Gu Shiting.
Gu Shiting was only half asleep, so he woke up as soon as Sheng Tang entered.
"Shh." Sheng Tang told him to quickly notify their ambush team to be ready.
The knocking continued, accompanied by the weak cries of a girl, "Is anyone there? Is anyone home, please help us!"
Sheng Tang pretended to have heavy footsteps, and in a sleepy, muffled voice, loudly asked, "Who is it?"
——*——*——
Finally finished, exhausted. Remember to vote for the book in the morning, lovelies! I’m off to sleep now.
