Chapter 892 - Fulfilling the Promise

Therefore, as a father, he definitely did not want his daughter to suffer any harm. It was understandable for him to do something so drastic from his standpoint.

However, from the perspective of his young lady, he definitely would not forgive his actions. If it had not been for him, she would have grown up happily instead of suffering so much hardships.

“Third Master, I won’t forgive him anyway.” Ling Sheng sniffled and looked at him seriously.

Jun Shiyan nodded and patted her furry head gently with his big hand. In a gentle voice, he said, “No matter what decision you make, I’ll always be on your side.”

In the living room, after Ling Sheng and Jun Shiyan had left, the atmosphere became even heavier. Even Huo Ci became serious for once.

Nangong Lun looked at Huo Xiao politely. “I remember that Brother Huo once promised to fulfill my wish. I wonder if it’s still valid now?”

Huo Xiao frowned, not in a very good mood toward him. He let out a snort. “Stop beating around the bush. Just say what you want to say. I don’t have time to waste talking nonsense with you.”

The problem now was that even if the Huo Family had felt guilty toward the Nangong Family in the past, they should be even because of Sheng Sheng!

He was really capable. What was his heart made of? He was even willing to abandon his biological bloodline. Was he even human?

“I want Ling Sheng and Xiaoqi.” Nangong Lun wasn’t someone who liked to beat around the bush, so he decided to be straightforward. He just did not know if he would acknowledge his promise back then!

“I don’t agree!” Huo Ci’s calm eyes, which were as deep as a cold pool, blazed with sudden anger as he sneered at him. “Uncle Nangong, I think you should change your wish!”

“Brother Huo?” Nangong Lun was unwilling to look at him, so he automatically ignored his objection.

Whenever he saw him, he could not help but get angry. If it had not been for him, Yu’er would have followed the path he had paved. She would have gotten married, had children and lived a blissful life.

He still had the cheek to talk to him!

However, Huo Xiao laughed, angered by his self-righteous words. He took a sip of tea calmly before saying, “Ci Er is right. Brother Nangong, you should change your wish. As long as Big Brother can do it, even if I use all of the Huo Family’s ability, I’ll do my best to satisfy you.”

What kind of person was he? Did he think the child was a toy? He could throw her away if he wanted to. If he wanted her, he could have her. He wished!

“What if I told you that this was my only wish?” There had not been much change in Nangong Lun’s expression from beginning to end, but the expression in his eyes had become increasingly cold and abstruse. At this moment, they were full of mockery.

“In that case, I’m afraid I can’t satisfy you with your wish. Sheng Sheng is a person, not an object. As elders, we have to listen to her opinion. My worthy brother, don’t you think so!” Huo Xiao was not angry anymore. He had made up his mind to be shameless to the end.

What kind of bullsh*t promise? What kind of bullsh*t wish? He wouldn’t acknowledge it! He wouldn’t acknowledge everything!

Upon seeing his attitude, Nangong Lun already knew very well that he was planning to go back on his word shamelessly. “Brother Huo told me that as long as it doesn’t violate your morals, you will agree to anything. Don’t you think it will ruin your Huo Family’s reputation if you go back on your word now?”

“The reputation of my Huo Family? What reputation does my Huo Family have?” Huo Xiao laughed. “You can even throw away your own biological grandchild, yet you still have the cheek to talk about the reputation of my Huo Family! You don’t even want your humanity anymore. Why would I want my face? Why would I want the reputation of the Huo Family?”

What kind of thing was his reputation? That he could even give up his face? Were these things more important than his dear granddaughter?

Nangong Lun was angered. The look in his eyes changed again and again. Even his constantly expressionless face contorted slightly and grew gloomy. “Is Brother Huo determined to deny it?”

He had always known that this older brother was not the kind of person who would keep his word. However, he had never gone back on his word toward him once he had said something. Although he had been mentally prepared before coming, he still could not suppress his anger after being rejected suddenly.

“Nangong.” Su Xiyin’s words had always been gentle. Had he come to snatch a person from them? It was impossible for them to hand her over to him. “From the moment you steeled your heart and abandoned her, you had no right to take her back. When you sent her away back then, did you expect this day to come?”

“It’s exactly because I didn’t that I came personally.” Nangong Lun had not expected that they would develop such deep feelings for that girl in such a short period of time either.

Or were they deliberately setting themselves against him that they did not disagree?

She had asked him if he had expected this day to come. If he had long ago foreseen this, he definitely would not have let Old Li handle this matter. He should have done it cleanly so that she would never have the chance to find her way back again!

“If you’re here for this matter, forgive me for not being able to keep you company.” Huo Xiao gave him a look and shouted, “Uncle Liu, see the guest out.”

Nangong Lun’s expression was very dark. “What do you people want? What do you want to hand her over to me willingly?”

Huo Xiao had been suppressing his anger the whole time so as not vent it on him. After all, he had come from thousands of miles away. Upon hearing these words, he was instantly infuriated. His face was livid as he slammed his palm on the table. “Nangong Lun, don’t be shameless! Let me tell you something. Sheng Sheng is the granddaughter of my Huo Family, not an item you can use to trade. If you know what’s good for you, get lost quickly! Don’t force me to punch you!”

Was he trying to climb all over him? His dear granddaughter was the darling of his Huo Family. What did they want? He would not hand her over to this… this… inhumane b*stard!

“Brother Huo, don’t speak too soon. She’s also a member of my Nangong Family. Half of her bloodline belongs to the Nangong Family.” Nangong Lun let out a cold snort. Was he trying to show off that they had a close relationship as grandparent and grandchild?

Even though they were from the same bloodline, they had only interacted with each other for less than half a year. How could such deep feelings have developed?

Besides, Huo Ci had never been willing to publicly acknowledge her. According to the intel, Huo Ci disliked this daughter very much, as he was afraid that she would ruin his future and affect his reputation.

“Send the guest out!” Huo Xiao was really afraid that if he continued to waste his breath on him, he really would not be able to control himself. Was he here to ask for her or to make a business transaction?

If he had admitted his mistake immediately and reflected on it, he would have given him some face.

In the end, he had come to ask for her, insist that he fulfill his promise and force them to hand her over. He was even making a transaction? It appeared to him that Nangong Lun’s skin was itching for a beating!

“Brother Huo, instead of us arguing endlessly here, why don’t you call her out and ask her for her opinion? Let’s see what she chooses!” Nangong Lun felt that as long as the conditions were attractive enough, no one could resist the temptation.

If she was a smart person, she would know what choice to make. The Huo Family’s relationship was tangled and complicated, and Huo Ci was unreliable.

The Nangong Family could definitely provide her with the best opportunities and conditions. She could have whatever she wanted and do whatever she wanted without any worries!
