Chapter 1068 - Whoever Is Lying Is a Dog

“When Brother Xiaoqi is on summer break, let mommy bring him to Rose Island to play, okay?” Shang Yu negotiated with her daughter. She wanted to take her into her arms, but when she saw the little girl shrinking into Ling Sheng’s arms, she shook her head helplessly and sighed. “Sangyu, be good. You will still have a lot of time to play with Brother Xiaoqi.”

Although her daughter had a cheerful personality, she had always been timid in front of outsiders and couldn’t get close to others. However, when it came to the Huo family, she treated them like they were family from her previous life. She didn’t think of them as strangers at all.

“Mommy.” Little Sangyu hugged Ling Sheng’s neck and rubbed her face against her neck. She looked at her with tears in her eyes and asked, “Mommy, will you miss Sangyu? You won’t forget Sangyu, will you?”

Ling Sheng wiped the tears off her face with a smile and nodded. “Mommy will miss Little Sangyu every day. If you miss us, we can video call to see each other every day.”

Little Sangyu was just throwing a tantrum. Upon hearing this, she smiled through her tears and gave her a big kiss on the cheek. She even stretched out her pinky and said, “Let’s pinky swear. Whoever lies is a dog.”

Ling Sheng made a pinky promise to show that she would keep her promise. On the way to the airport, Little Sangyu leaned into her arms like a koala bear and was unwilling to follow anyone else. When it was time to board the plane, she left her arms reluctantly.

Situ Sang wanted to hug her, but she didn’t allow it.

Little Sangyu strode away without looking back. When she got on the plane, she turned her head to look at Ling Sheng and the others and shouted goodbye. She then stayed out of sight, keeping a straight face and raising her head to prevent herself from crying.

Situ Sang gently embraced his wife. As he looked at his precious daughter standing by the window with a small stool, he helplessly sighed. This was the first time he had seen his daughter so attached and reluctant to part with someone else. This made him feel a bit bitter.

“Why don’t we stay in China for a while and let Sangyu go to school with Xiaoqi?” Shang Yu looked at her husband and continued. “Our daughter will grow up one day and we can’t keep her here forever. She seemed to be feeling much better now too.”

Situ Sang was still worried. His daughter’s body was too weak, and she would catch a cold and have a fever every now and then. The reason why their family had moved to Rose Island was because the environment and climate there was suitable for recuperation. The four seasons were like spring, so it wasn’t easy to fall sick from the cold.

In the capital city, the four seasons were distinct and the winter was especially cold. His daughter would definitely not be able to take it. He would consider coming over to stay for a period of time during other seasons, but how could he bear to let her daughter stay here for a long time?

Just as the two of them were talking, their daughter’s lips curled up into a bright smile. She waved her arms vigorously from the window, but her eyes were filled with tears. It made their hearts ache. They wished they could get off the plane right now and not leave.

Xiaoqi came late, but he managed to catch up with Little Sangyu before the plane took off. He ran all the way and saw the little girl standing at the window as soon as he arrived. He waved at her and said, “Goodbye, Sangyu.”

He didn’t know if Little Sangyu had seen him or not. She loved to cry so much. If she didn’t see him coming to see her off, would she cry very hard? Would she ignore him afterwards? Thinking of this, he felt very upset.

“Bye, Brother Xiaoqi.” Little Sangyu bit her lips to stop herself from crying. The plane had taken off slowly. Seeing the figure getting smaller on the ground, tears started to fall down her face. She wiped her tears and raised her face stubbornly.

Brother Xiaoqi had said that she would not be pretty if she cried. She wanted to be the most beautiful Little Sangyu forever and be Brother Xiaoqi’s favorite Little Sangyu.

After Little Sangyu left, Xiaoqi had not been able to get used to it for several days. The first thing he did when he came home was to call Sangyu. When he was eating or playing, he would call her name unconsciously. Then he realized that the girl had left and was no longer with him.

The Huo family was very lively these few days as it was Old Master Huo Xiao’s 70th birthday this weekend. The whole family came back to stay at the main house, just like during the New Year.

The male lead of “Brilliant” had yet to be confirmed. After Ling Sheng filmed the advertisement for L-Star and the fashion blockbuster, she had nothing to do. She did not know when the male lead would assume his role and when she would resume work.

Mei Xuelin did not arrange any new jobs for her either, she just asked her to study hard at home. Her father was Movie King Huo, her mother was Movie Queen Nangong, and her future husband was the richest man in the world. She certainly did not lack money. She entered the entertainment industry just for her interest and wanted to win a few more awards to prove herself. There was no need for her to rush through so many schedules and live such a tiring life.

Apart from studying and preparing for the college entrance examination, Ling Sheng’s current job was to pick up her son and send him to and from school every day. From her son’s kindergarten to the Huo family’s old mansion, it would take an hour to drive if there was no traffic jam. If there was a traffic jam, it would take even longer.

When Xiaoqi returned home on Friday afternoon, she even went to the mall to buy milk tea and fried chicken. Just as the mother and son arrived at their doorstep, they heard a ruckus coming from the living room. It sounded like an argument.

Ling Sheng frowned slightly. It was her second aunt, Zhang Yuechan’s voice, mixed with an angry male voice. They sounded quite young so it should be her cousins.

“Dad, it’s him. He must have done it.” Zhang Yuechan was so angry that her face turned red. She pointed at Huo Ci angrily. “Sixth Brother, where did you take Lin’er and Xu’er? If you don’t give me an explanation today, I won’t let this go.”

Ling Sheng stepped in and finally heard what they were arguing about. It turned out that the Second Brother’s family was attacking her father.

Zhang Yuechan was so angry that her eyes turned red. Her two sons’ faces were also ashen, and her two daughters-in-law were crying at the side.

Huo Xiao walked out with his walking stick and said with a cold face, “What are you all arguing about? Do you think I’ve lived for too long and want to anger me to death?”

“Family of the Second Brother, talk everything out nicely. Why are you doing this?” Su Xiyin had only come out after hearing the commotion. She watched as her son lazily crossed his legs and leaned against the sofa to play games. The Second Brother’s family surrounded him and questioned him.

“Mom, how would I know? My second sister-in-law didn’t distinguish between right and wrong and started scolding me right away.” Huo Ci felt wronged, he looked at the exasperated woman in front of him with a dumbfounded expression. “Second sister-in-law, how did I offend you?”

“Sixth Brother, you have to rely on your conscience.” Zhang Yuechan trembled in anger as she pointed at her own heart. “Let me ask you, do you have a heart? Xu’er and Lin’er are just children.. If you have any grudges or grievances, come to us adults instead of laying your hands on the two children, don’t forget they are your grandchildren too!”
