Chapter 1187
Everyone sighed.
“Fortunately, he woke up. If he woke up after being buried, wouldn’t he be suffocated to death in the coffin?”
“Tsk, I wonder how Elder Tong will treat his own son.”
In the wooden barrel.
Old Mr. Tong looked at Tong Qizhen, who was crying uncontrollably. He smiled and said, “Alright, stop crying first. You’re not the one who should be crying. Help me out first.”
Tong Qizhen wiped his tears and did not immediately help Old Mr. Tong out. Instead, he asked Melody Fox respectfully.
“Miss Fox, can my dad come out now?”
Melody Fox nodded.
“Since you’re awake, you can come out. Keep warm and don’t catch a cold.”
“Yes, yes.”
Tong Qizhen nodded. As he explained to Old Mr. Tong that he could “resurrect from the dead” because of Melody Fox’s treatment, he instructed someone to help Old Mr. Tong out of the wooden barrel with him.
After Old Mr. Tong came out, he bowed deeply to Melody Fox.
“Thank you for saving my life!”
Melody Fox nodded slightly. “You’re my grandmother’s friend. This is what I should do. You don’t have to be too polite. Go change into dry clothes first.”
Maria Fox also said, “Old Tong, let’s not talk about such formalities between us. Hurry up and change your clothes. Melody said that you can’t catch a cold.”
“Okay.”
Old Mr. Tong nodded and cupped his hands at everyone. “Everyone, please excuse me for a moment. We’ll talk after I change my clothes. Sorry for being rude.”
“No disrespect, no disrespect.”
“No problem, go ahead.”
Everyone expressed their understanding.
Old Mr. Tong nodded again.
He was about to change his clothes with Tong Qizhen’s help when he suddenly stopped and looked at Tong Qizhen coldly.
Tong Jiaxuan was still showing off in front of Tong Qizhen just now. Now that he met Old Mr. Tong’s gaze, he was so frightened that his legs went limp and he directly knelt on the ground.
“Dad…”
“Hmph!” Old Mr. Tong snorted coldly from the tip of his nose and left after saying, “I’ll settle the score with you when I come back.”
Tong Jiaxuan was so frightened that his face turned pale. Oh no…
She wondered how much her father had seen just now.
Damn it, how could the old man really wake up?
What should he do? What should he do?
Tong Li’s situation was not much better than Tong Jiaxuan’s. Moreover, she had not eaten as much as her father. She was so frightened that she cried.
“Boohoo…”
Tong Jiaxuan scolded irritably, “Shut up! Why are you crying? Be quiet! It’s so noisy!”
Tong Li had nowhere to vent her grievances, so she could only try her best to suppress her cries.
Melody Fox was surrounded by the crowd.
Some of them wanted Melody Fox’s contact information in a flattering manner, while others sincerely thanked Melody Fox.
Melody Fox responded to them one by one. From the corner of his eye, he saw Ken Swanson looking at her proudly. His heart could not help but feel warm, and his lips curled into a smile.
At Fox, Old Mr. Tong finally changed his clothes and came out.
After changing into a suit, Elder Tong looked energetic and did not look sick at all.
However, from his staggering steps, it could be seen that his vitality had yet to recover.
He looked energetic now, but he was holding his breath, so the adrenaline in his body was ignited.
Melody Fox raised his eyebrows.
It seemed like Old Mr. Tong roughly knew what had happened.
Old Mr. Tong must have woken up when Tong Jiaxuan stopped her just now.
It was just that everyone was certain that Elder Tong would not wake up, so they did not pay attention to that side.
She was wondering why Old Mr. Tong didn’t wake up.
It turned out that he had woken up a long time ago, but he was deliberately watching the show, watching this tragic human drama.
Thinking about it, Old Mr. Tong was quite pitiful.
His own son did not care if he lived or died. In fact, he was very happy that he was dead.
As Old Mr. Tong walked over, everyone greeted him one after another.
“Elder Tong.”
“Congratulations, Elder Tong.”
“Old Mr. Tong, you’re going to hold a big banquet this time. If such a joyous event can happen, you’ll definitely live a long life in the future!”
Old Mr. Tong nodded slightly. He did not smile at all because of everyone’s congratulations.
Everyone could tell that Old Mr. Tong was on the verge of exploding, so they quickly tactfully made way for Old Mr. Tong.
This path led straight to Tong Jiaxuan and his daughter.
Tong Jiaxuan had just stood up from the ground not long ago. Now, his legs and stomach were trembling again, and he felt like he was about to kneel down again.
“Dad…”
He forced a smile and said, “Congratulations on coming back from the dead. I’m really happy for you! The heavens are kind enough to not bear for me to lose you!”
“Heh! Do the heavens have eyes? If not for Miss Fox’s help, I would have been buried in the ground by you!”
“I-I don’t know either. The doctor announced that you’re dead. If I knew that you weren’t dead, why would I be like this? You have to believe me!”
Old Mr. Tong sneered mockingly and stood half a meter away from Tong Jiaxuan.
“Shut up and get on your knees!”
Tong Jiaxuan was stunned and wanted to quibble. “Dad…”
“I asked you to kneel down. Are you deaf?!”
Tong Li could not help but say, “Grandpa, Dad…”
“Shut up! Kneel down too!”
Old Mr. Tong interrupted Tong Li and ordered her coldly.
Tong Li did not expect her grandfather to punish her as well. She gritted her teeth and knelt down in anger.
The father and daughter knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe loudly.
“Tong Jiaxuan, I gave birth to you and raised you. Is this how you treat me? Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?!”
Tong Jiaxuan hurriedly explained, “No, Dad, listen to my explanation. It’s not what you think… Did Tong Qizhen say something when he changed his clothes just now? You can’t believe what he said. I’m your biological son!”
Old Mr. Tong narrowed his eyes.
“My biological son? My biological son stopped the doctor from saving my life, but my godson knelt down and begged you to give me a chance to be saved. You have the cheek to say that you’re my biological son? I wish I didn’t have a son like you!”
If he had known that his son would be like this, he would not have let him be born in the first place!
His wife had passed away after giving birth to Tong Jiaxuan.
It was really not worth it to exchange one’s life for such a thing!
If his wife was in heaven and saw that his son had been raised like this, how would he explain it to her when they went underground?
Tong Jiaxuan was indignant and continued to slander Tong Qizhen.
“Dad, Tong Qizhen is just putting on an act! He knew that you would wake up, so he deliberately acted like that.”
“What about you? If you knew that I could wake up, why didn’t you let Girl Fox treat me?”
“Fox” referred to Melody Fox.
Melody Fox raised his eyebrows and heard Tong Jiaxuan continue to lie through his teeth.
“That’s because I didn’t know you’d really wake up. I really thought you’d leave. That’s why they were preparing the funeral…”
