Jun Shiyan lowered his voice as well and cast his eyes slightly downwards. “I was wrong.”
Ling Sheng was angry. She glared at him warningly and let out a haughty snort. “It’s useless.”
Jun Shiyan let out a low laugh. Upon seeing the young lady’s energetic look, he knew that she had not lied to him. She had not suffered in the Huo Family. His voice became even deeper. “I missed you.”
Ling Sheng’s heart skipped a beat as she swallowed subconsciously and let out a low cough. “I won’t take this lying down. Stop smooth-talking me.”
The two of them were shoulder to shoulder. Ling Sheng led him to where Huo Xiao and the others were. From time to time, they would talk, but they did not display any intimate gestures.
However, even so, it was enough to shock everyone. Besides Huo Xiao, Huo Ci, and Huo Xuanzhou, everyone in the Huo Family was a little confused. They did not know what was going on.
Ling Sheng and Jun Shiyan?
Was the son-in-law that Sixth Brother had mentioned Jun Shiyan? How could that be? How was this possible? How could Third Master Jun have taken a liking to an illegitimate daughter, one who was even raising a little b*stard? Was he crazy?
Ye Ru and the others’ hearts burned with intense fury. They were unwilling to believe that Jun Shiyan was Ling Sheng’s boyfriend. How could that be! How could that little slut be worthy?
Was Jun Shiyan blind? Why couldn’t he find another woman? Why did he have to find a slut like Ling Sheng?
Xiaoqi was about to call him Uncle Jun when Huo Ci tugged at him and whispered in his ear.
Xiaoqi’s face reddened suddenly, and he even felt a little embarrassed. When Jun Shiyan and Ling Sheng came over, he listened to Grandpa and jumped down without even putting on his shoes. He ran toward Jun Shiyan and shouted, “Father!”
After calling him Dad.
Huo Ci looked considerably smug.
Huo Xiao’s expression changed slightly.
Huo Xuanzhou was stunned for a moment before he grinned.
The other men in the Huo Family were scared out of their wits. Dad? Jun Shiyan was Xiaoqi’s father? What kind of joke.
The women of the Huo Family, especially Ye Ru and the others—who had already offended Ling Sheng—felt their hearts turn cold. They were done for.
Third Master Jun was not a good person. If he found out that they had bullied Ling Sheng and called his son a b*stard, who knew how he would seek revenge on them!
Upon hearing Xiaoqi call Jun Shiyan Dad, Ling Sheng let out a low cough somewhat awkwardly. She took a look at Xiaoqi. What nonsense was he saying! Then, she looked at her exceptionally pleased father and her uncles and aunts, who bore different expressions on their faces. Consequently, she felt that Xiaoqi did well.
Jun Shiyan picked Xiaoqi up. “Did you miss Dad?”
Xiaoqi nodded vigorously and said crisply, “Yes!”
Jun Shiyan’s lips curled up in joy. His son was in his arms, and the young lady was beside him. His father-in-law had also called him personally to pay a visit. This year was finally complete.
“Grandpa, Father-in-law, the flight was a little late. I’m really sorry for making you wait so long.” Jun Shiyan did not look at the others at all as he walked directly to Huo Ci and Huo Xiao.
Huo Ci shot him a lazy look and nodded before saying symbolically, “It’s good so long as you’re safe.”
Huo Xiao was not in a good mood to talk to the man who had snatched his dear granddaughter away. He only nodded, “Since everyone’s here now, tell the kitchen that we can start eating!”
Huo Ci was finally happy. He felt proud and satisfied, especially when he saw the various wonderful expressions on his brothers and sisters-in-law’s faces. It was exhilarating!
If they had the guts, they could continue to play tricks behind their backs and criticize them indirectly. Let’s see if they could do that in front of Third Old Jun without him killing them!
Guts? Ye Ru and the others were furious and annoyed. They gritted their teeth in hatred, but they could only speak highly of Ling Sheng on the surface. They did not dare show any dissatisfaction.
From this moment on, everything had changed. Even in private, they could not curse them anymore. It was not that they could not, but that they did not dare. How could they have the guts?
With Jun Shiyan around, the atmosphere became much heavier. Even the men of the Huo Family spoke with obvious caution and respect, afraid that they would offend him if they said anything wrong.
Huo Ci was an arrogant idler. No matter where he was, he was an arrogant idler. It was not that he could not do anything to his brothers and sisters-in-law, especially when he could crush them to death at such moments, but it was just inappropriate for him to deal with them. As a son, he had to give the Old Master face.
Otherwise, did they think that those things they had done weren’t enough for him to put them to death a hundred times, especially those women who shot their mouths off without indiscretion. If the Old Master had not been around, he would have torn their mouths apart?
Huo Ci finished his bowl of rice and gave Jun Shiyan a look.
“Father-in-law, give me the bowl. I’ll get you some rice,” Jun Shiyan smiled without putting on any airs. When he took the bowl, he also looked toward Huo Ji. “Third Uncle, do you want some rice?”
How could Huo Ji dare to agree? He shook his head hurriedly and even forgot to ask a servant to replenish his food. He stood up in a flurry and scooped the rice himself. “I can do it myself.”
Sixth Brother had done it on purpose. The Third Master Jun in front of him made him suspect that he had seen a fake Jun Shiyan. He did not seem cold and ruthless like he usually was. He was like a tamed tiger.
However, even if he was tamed, he was still a tiger. He would only be obedient to those he was willing to submit to. As for the others, you never know when he would bite you?
At this moment, Xiao Hui and the others were completely aware that Jun Shiyan really cared about Ling Sheng. Exactly how much did he care and like her that he was willing to be suppressed by Sixth Brother and lower himself to him?
Everyone in China knew that Sixth Brother and Third Master Jun had always been at odds with each other. The kind of rivalry where they only wanted to kill each other. Who would have expected that the two of them, who would clash whenever they met, would become father-in-law and son-in-law?
What kind of luck did that little slut Ling Sheng possess to have gotten Jun Shiyan to take a liking to her? They could not even eat at the thought of it!Merely thinking about that made their hearts ache in suffocation!
Upon knowing that Jun Shiyan had come, Su Xiyin deliberately told the kitchen to cook some light food for him. She invited him to eat and kept putting food in his bowl. “Ah Yan, this is your first time here. Eat more. Don’t stand on ceremony.”
Jun Shiyan said, “Thank you, Grandma.”
“Grandma, he knows how to eat by himself. He has hands. Don’t worry about him.” Ling Sheng could finally sit with Jun Shiyan openly this time. Grandpa had initially been right smack in the middle, but he had already been dragged away by Grandma.
Su Xiyin was overjoyed. When she saw how her stepsons and daughters-in-law’s usual arrogance was suppressed at the table, her anger dissipated.
No one else could do such a thing. Only Third Master Jun could keep them under control. His reputation was still there. The few stepchildren at home had suffered under him in business before, and they did not dare to offend him either. They were all afraid inside.
The women at home must be very depressed and bitter right now. Normally, they fought for the limelight during their meals. No one dared to show off today.
When Jun Shiyan said that Xiaoqi was his son, he was his son. Even though Ye Ru and the others were itching to know what was going on, they did not dare ask.
