Chapter 706 - Did You Miss Me?

Huo Ci was already full of anger. When he got home, he was caught and beaten up without saying anything. Who had he offended? His eyes blazed with anger as he jumped on the sofa. “Father, let’s talk nicely. Put down the stick!”

Huo Xiao’s face was ashen as he pointed at him. “I’m asking you. Where the hell were you?”

Upon seeing her grandpa hit him without saying anything, Ling Sheng’s father reflexively ran away. The scene was actually very funny. However, she could not let her father take the blame for this. She ran over hurriedly and grabbed Huo Xiao. “Grandpa, Grandpa, listen to me. It’s not that my father didn’t do anything. My father came to find me. I didn’t ask him to clarify. It’s all my fault. Grandpa, hit me!”

Huo Xiao let out a breath and glared at Huo Ci, still not believing him. “Did he ask you to say that? Did he threaten you again?”

Ling Sheng shook her head hurriedly. “No, definitely not. I swear! I didn’t ask my father to handle my public relations. Grandpa, don’t be angry. Calm down.”

Xiaoqi, who was standing beside him, had just run over. Upon seeing his great-grandpa finally put down his walking stick, he ran over to Huo Ci excitedly on his short legs. He hugged his thigh and shouted excitedly, “Grandpa!”

Huo Ci looked at the child’s big, bright eyes and red face. After being gone for half a month, he had really missed him a little. However, his mouth remained firm. “What? It’s not like I haven’t seen you before. Let go.”

Xiaoqi shook his head. “Xiaoqi missed Grandpa. Grandpa, did you miss me?”

Huo Ci pouted in disdain. Out of the corner of his eye, he took a look at Ling Sheng, who was sitting down with Huo Xiao. Then, he took a look at her son. Suddenly, he felt that the child was much more likable than the adult. He patted his head subconsciously. “Why would I miss you? Just thinking of you frustrates me!”

Su Xiyin was at her wit’s end. She shook her head and sighed. His mouth was tight, but his heart was soft. The smile in his eyes was about to overflow. He was being sarcastic!

The whole family was still alive and lively. If Xiaoqi had not been at home, she and her husband would have been deserted!

Huo Ci went to get some water, and Xiaoqi followed him on his short legs. He smiled happily and followed him wherever he went.

Su Xiyin looked at Huo Ci. “Where’s Fifth Brother? Didn’t we agree he’d come over for dinner?”

Huo Ci’s eyes turned cold as he let out a cold laugh. “He’s dead.”

Upon hearing that he could not say anything nice, Su Xiyin pointed at him angrily. “What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Look at how old you are. Where did Fifth Brother go?”

Huo Ci let out a cold snort. “I don’t know.”

Where had he gone?

He was dead!

In his heart, he was already a dead man.

As for the remaining two, he would settle the score with them one by one!

Ling Sheng finally explained everything clearly. In a small voice, she said, “Grandpa, my father is already an adult. He knows what he should and should not do. Don’t hit him for no reason in the future.”

Yes, her father cared about his reputation.

Huo Xiao harrumphed. “What does he know? He only knows how to cause trouble. He’s a scumbag!”

“Even though my father was a little reckless in the past, what happened today was my fault, not his.” Ling Sheng tried to persuade him gently.

It was not a good idea to be hostile every time they met. If only the two of them could sit together and talk peacefully…
