Chapter 172: A Small Matter
Xiaoqi nodded vigorously, his big eyes sparkling as he hugged her. “Xiaoqi missed his great-grandmother.”
Huo Xiao pushed his luggage, which consisted of four big suitcases, before scolding him. “Where’s your scumbag of a grandpa?”
That good-for-nothing had finally shown filial piety. He had said he would pick them up with Xiaoqi at the airport and had not gotten someone to do the job.
In the end, only Xiaoqi was there. Without him, who would carry his luggage?
Jun Shiyan had not expected the child to be a member of the Huo Family. He greeted the couple with a slight nod. “Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo.”
Only then did Su Xiyin see Jun Shiyan. She smiled and nodded. “Sir, are you on a business trip?”
Xiaoqi had not expected that the strange uncle would not have been lying to him. He was someone the great-grandmother knew. He had misunderstood this uncle. His face reddened in guilt. “Great-grandmother, someone nearly bumped into Xiaoqi just now. This uncle saved me.”
The little guy was extremely excited. He used his limbs to describe the situation vividly.
When she heard that, Su Xiyin’s heart jumped in her throat. She was immensely grateful. “Thank you so much.”
“It’s not a big deal.” Jun Shiyan could tell that the little guy had discovered his conscience. He had complimented him forcefully because he knew he had wronged a good person.
An Yan could not help but laugh. Whose child was this? He was really interesting. He had just called the couple great-grandpa and great-grandmother. He should be the grandson of the Huo Family!
“We’ll be leaving then. Thank you.” Huo Xiao did not have a nice expression on his face. If he had not saved Xiaoqi, he would not have spoken to him.
He had dared to woo his precious granddaughter. No, he did not like him!
Jun Shiyan felt that Huo Xiao’s gaze was strange. It was obvious that he did not want to talk to him. It was also obvious that he did not like him.
He thought about it carefully. Huo Xiao was an elder, and he had always respected him. He was sure that he had never offended him.
Su Xiyin held Xiaoqi’s hand while Xiaoqi waved goodbye reluctantly. “Bye, Uncle Jun.”
Huo Xiao cursed as he walked. How could he be so careless? How could he abandon Xiaoqi so boldly? He would show that scumbag how he would punish him!
“Hubby, call Ci Er!” Su Xiyin was angry too.
How could he leave Xiaoqi alone? What if something had happened to him? How would he explain this to Sheng Sheng?
“I’m not looking for him.” Huo Xiao was angry as he looked at his wife. “Don’t call him. I want to see if that scumbag has any semblance of a heart!”
Xiaoqi seemed to understand something as he tugged at Su Xiyin’s hand quietly. “Great-grandmother, what about Grandpa?”
“Grandpa is fine. Let’s go home first.” Su Xiyin smiled gently. She had to teach him a lesson and see if he would dare be so unreliable again in the future.
When Huo Ci ran out, Xiaoqi was nowhere to be seen. He was instantly dumbfounded. After cursing, he panicked. “Ling Xiaoqi, Ling Xiaoqi!”
The little brat had promised to wait for him obediently. Where had he gone? Had he been deceived with a piece of candy?
The more Huo Ci thought about it, the more anxious he became. He ran to the broadcasting station to report his loss. On the way, he stopped someone and asked if he had seen a child, describing his estimated height, and said he was wearing a suit and sunglasses that made him look all handsome and cool.
People were coming and going at the airport in a hurry, so how could anyone have noticed this? Even after asking all along the way, he obtained no useful information.
