Chapter 977 - Your Girlfriend Was Called Out by Someone

Ling Sheng almost couldn’t hold back her laughter. When she saw Xiao Hui’s face turn green from restraining herself, she could only give a thumbs up in her heart from admiration. Her father is still awesome! She can’t compare to him.

“Sixth Brother, how can you say that? I meant well. Mom, you be the judge.” Because Xiao Hui was humiliated, she felt furious. Who does he think he is?! Treating someone’s goodwill as ill intention!

“Ah Ci said something inappropriate. Don’t lower yourself to his level.” Su Xiyin couldn’t gloss over the matter. How could she side with her son? She smacked him. “Talk nicely to your Fourth Sister-in-Law. Look at yourself.”

“I’ve always been like this. If you dislike it, don’t look at me.” As Huo Ci spoke, he even placed his legs on the coffee table and started playing with his phone.

“You don’t know how to sit or stand properly! Sit properly!” Huo Xiao was angry when he saw him behaving like this and kicked his leg to warn him.

Xiao Hui raised the corner of her lips smugly. A disrespectful thing like Sixth Brother just needs to be punished properly.

How could Huo Xiao not know what Huo Ci’s sisters-in-law were up to? They were only happy and satisfied when there was chaos at home every day! He glanced at them. “You guys should return to rest too!”

Ye Ru and Xiao Hui looked at each other before standing up reluctantly and left. It seems like the Old Master really intends to keep this unfamiliar girl here.

There were some things that Huo Xiao couldn’t say in front of Ling Sheng, so he called Huo Ci to the study.

It was fine if this young lady stayed in their home for a period of time, but she couldn’t really live here. What would outsiders say about their Huo family? That they were raising a child bride?

Seeing her grandfather and her father enter the study one after another, Ling Sheng sniffled, feeling a little upset. In the past, her grandfather would not have avoided her while talking.

The room had already been tidied up. The guest room at home was quite spacious and comfortable too.

Ling Sheng sprawled on the bed. No matter how much she thought about it, she still didn’t know why she had transmigrated all the way to the past after falling asleep. Exactly what was the reason? Was Third Master here?

But there was one thing she was very sure of. From the moment she had transmigrated here, she was very sure that she would not stay here for a long period of time. She would definitely go back.

After she calmed down, she smelled the faint fragrance of flowers. It was very similar to the fragrance of that candle her mother had lit when she went to bed before transmigrating.

She took a closer sniff. It wasn’t that it smelled like it. She was certain that it was that smell. However, there was nothing in the room. She opened the door and wanted to go out to take a look, but she bumped into Su Xiyin, who was about to go to her room to call her.

Seeing the young lady stick her head out, Su Xiyin smiled. “You must be hungry. The food is ready. Come with me!”

Ling Sheng was hungry. Not only was she hungry, but she had also been hungry for the entire day. She was utterly famished! She felt that she could even eat an entire pig if it was placed in front of her.

Su Xiyin looked at the little girl wolfing down the food in front of her. She must have been hungry for a long time. Her heart ached as she scooped a bowl of soup for her. “Be careful while you’re eating. Don’t choke on it. There’s still a lot left. They’re all yours.”

This girl eats so well that she’s blessed[1] The more I look at her, the more I like her. How can she be so likable!

When Huo Xiao came out, he saw his wife watching the little girl eat with a gentle expression. She even wiped her face from time to time, as if she was taking care of a child. It made his heart feel warm.

The little girl that that b*stard brought back was quite likable. From the first time he saw her, he felt that he had a strong affinity with her, and he felt happy just looking at her.

Huo Ci walked in front of him and raised his eyebrows smugly. “Dad, do you think that girl looks like me? Do we look like father and daughter?”

Huo Xiao kicked him. He just happened to be feeling irritated. This ignorant thing! “Didn’t you just finish your first mock exam? Show me your report card!”

Ling Sheng was eating, but her grandfather’s voice was a little loud. She couldn’t help choking and started coughing softly. She had forgotten that her father was still a high school student right now. She asked Su Xiyin, “Grandma, which grade is my dad in now?”

Su Xiyin said, “Year Three.”

Ling Sheng coughed again and secretly glanced at her father, who was being pulled into the study again by the ear by her grandfather, expressing her deep sympathy. You can’t afford to fail your senior year of studies. Good luck!

“What about you? What grade are you in now?” Su Xiyin looked at her. “You’re in the same school as my son, right?”

Ling Sheng shook her head. “I’m not attending school.”

When Su Xiyin saw her lower her head and stir the soup in her bowl after speaking, looking very sad, she thought that she had touched on her sore spot and hurriedly changed the topic.

Ling Sheng ate and took a shower, and before going to bed…

Huo Ci knocked on the door and looked at the little girl lying on the bed. He walked to the bed and threw the phone to her. “Your fifth uncle gave this to you. This is a new gadget. If you’re bored, there’s even a game in it.”

Ling Sheng looked at the antique phone in front of her and nodded obediently. She looked up at him and smiled, her mouth as sweet as honey. “Thank you, Dad!”

For some reason, when Huo Ci heard her call him Dad, he didn’t feel repulsed at all. Instead, he even felt a little delighted. Keeping calm, he coughed softly. “Do you know how to play? If not, I’ll teach you.”

Ling Sheng shook her head. As long as you ask, I will just say I don’t know!

Huo Ci taught her how to play the snake game!

It’s the first mobile game in the world!!

Ling Sheng listened as her father taught her how to play while explaining the technical details to her. He said that the phone wasn’t even on the market yet and that Second Uncle had used his connections to get it. But it was nothing much either. As long as she liked it, she could play with it casually. If it broke, she could just buy another one. He had nothing but money.

After Huo Ci left, Ling Sheng lay on the bed while hugging the phone and grinning like a fool. Although her father would burst out in foul language as a youth, he was really nice!

Ling Sheng officially stayed at the Huo residence. There was no need to mention how much Huo Xiao and his wife liked her. She was a smooth-talker and knew how to make people happy. She was also good-looking. Coupled with the sense of familiarity and intimacy they felt toward her— which even they didn’t know where it came from, they just felt that they had a strong affinity with the young lady.

Huo Ci had to go to school. Ling Sheng was also at the age to be attending school. She was arranged for a separate school admission examination to enter the same school as her father. She carried her school bag and headed for school. She was in her second year.

First High School was one of the top elite schools in the entire capital and even the entire country, but no one had set a rule that there were no bad boys in elite schools.

Huo Ci was forever the most eye-catching existence in the entire First High School and the entire capital. He was rich, bad, roguish, and handsome.

At this moment, in Huo Ci’s classroom, girls were queuing up with gifts until they reached the top of the stairs and the line even snaked down the stairs.

Huo Ci wasn’t in the classroom either; he had skipped class with Lu Yubai. The two of them had just arrived at the school gates when they heard someone calling him from behind.

“Brother Ci, bad news! Your little wife was called out by someone. I just saw an unfamiliar man leading her away.”
