"It's simple. All those you previously contacted to ban Tangning, call them back and tell them to cancel their ban," Mo Ting replied; straightforwardly revealing his motive without hesitation.
"Are you telling me to go back on my words?"
"That's your problem," Mo Ting's voice slowly turned cold. "If you don't feel sorry and guilty for all that your granddaughter has done, then there's no reason for me to care about your pride. I simply want to see you slap yourself in the face."
Elder Song turned his head, unwilling to accept this fate.
"What is it? Weren't you telling me not to be arrogant just a moment ago? Where did all your strength go?"
"Elder Song, I almost forgot to tell you, if you don't make up for your granddaughter's actions today, I will have to get payback directly from her. Your granddaughter almost made my wife and two sons lose their lives. If your were me, how would you get payback?"
Elder Song opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
There was nothing he could say...
"One must payback for what they've done sooner or later. Will you pay me back, or will she pay me back?"
Elder Song had never suffered in such a way. He had never been rendered speechless by a youngster like this.
"Is a life worth so little in your eyes?"
Hearing this question, Elder Song calmed down and thought things over carefully. He understood that Mo Ting's actions weren't wrong; as a man, protecting his wife was expected. As for Mo Ting's question about what a life was worth...
...how could it not be worth anything?
However, he never expected that he appeared so weak in his granddaughter's eyes.
"Because of the way you've spoiled her, Song Xin acts without restraint. Don't you think that you should be held responsible for what she's done?"
The old man remained silent for a short moment before he took a deep breath, "Speak...what else do you want?"
Seeing that the old man was coming to a compromise, Mo Ting leaned back in his seat and laughed, "You're asking me what I want? I'm waiting for Elder Song to give me a satisfactory solution."
"Apart from what I requested earlier, I'm waitingfor Elder Song to show me what he's capable of. I'll give you one day to think it over. If I don't see a response within one day, I will have to make a phone call to the police..."
The old man's face turned blue. He was so angry that he couldn't say a word. As he stood up, he almost fainted from his rising blood pressure and only managed to leave after Mo Ting called for his secretary to escort him out.
If it wasn't because of Elder Song's inability to differentiate between right and wrong, Mo Ting would never make things difficult for an old man.
But, when an elder wasn't deserving of respect, they would need to pay for their actions.
Apart from requesting Elder Song to remove Tangning's ban, Mo Ting did not ask for anything else. Instead, he forced the old man to think carefully and to guess what he was thinking.
He wanted to see what the old man was willing to sacrifice in order to protect his granddaughter.
He also wanted to see the solution that the old man would come up with.
...
Song Xin was completely unaware that Elder Song had been made aware of her bad deeds. After returning home and seeing the old man sitting on the sofa, she originally wanted to make use of his authority again. But, Elder Song glared at her coldly and ordered, "Come over here."
"Grandfather?" Song Xin appeared surprised.
"I told you to come here!" the old man repeated coldly.
Song Xin approached the old man curiously and cautiously. A moment later, she felt a burning sensation on her right cheek accompanied by a loud 'PAK' sound.
