Su Jing and the others returned quickly and asked for a reward. According to one of their uncles, who had told another uncle, as long as the trap was set up according to the instructions, he would give them pocket money.
Huo Ci’s eyes were burning with anger. He wanted to punish that scumbag Old Jun and show him his prowess. However, he could not resort to violence physically or verbally. In the end, the trap had not worked, so he wasn’t in a good mood. “You didn’t make him fall. You want money? No money for you!”
Su Jing was angry. He had not kept his word. He should wait and see if they would still run errands for him in the future!
Su Ce and his brother were afraid of him, so they hid behind him and did not dare speak.
Su Nuo, who was scheming, stood up and smiled. “Uncle, you can’t lie to children. If you don’t pay up, I’ll ask our brother-in-law for the money next time.”
Huo Ci looked at the kid in front of him. “Are you threatening me?”
Su Nuo extended his hand and smiled. “Uncle, the money.”
Huo Ci’s face darkened as he picked up a stack of money and waved it around. Then, he asked, “Rascal, who did you just call brother-in-law?”
Brother-in-law?
He sure knew how to claim familial ties!
Su Nuo smiled and said, “He’s not our brother-in-law. He’s Jun Shiyan! Don’t worry, Uncle. If he dares to come again, we’ll definitely beat him up next time!”
Satisfied, Huo Ci gave the money to the children.
Su Heng looked at the boys seriously and reminded them, “Don’t spend it frivolously, alright? Don’t let anyone else know! Especially the old folks!”
Otherwise, he would lose his dignity! However, what could he do? Besides giving them some benefits in secret, there was really nothing else he could do.
Su Nuo nodded. “We understand. We understand.”
Su Yan nearly laughed out loud. Could you guys not be so funny? The adults looked like children, and the children looked like adults.
When Huo Ci went back to get the script, Ling Sheng looked at him and asked with a smile, “Father, didn’t Grandma ask you to keep me company overnight? Aren’t you going to?”
Huo Ci let out a cold snort and pointed at her. “Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve done. If it weren’t for the Su Family, do you think Third Master Jun would have walked out vertically on his own?”
Ling Sheng smiled. “Father, you’re right.”
When he saw the flattering smile on her face, Huo Ci’s stomach boiled with anger. He said in disdain, “How did I give birth to a good-for-nothing like you?”
Then, he turned around angrily and left.
Xiaoqi even told his grandpa goodnight reluctantly. Then, he looked at Ling Sheng in confusion. “Mommy, what does it mean to walk out vertically?”
Ling Sheng leaned over and kissed her precious son. “You don’t need to know this. Go to bed quickly!”
After the lights were switched off, the whole room descended into darkness.
The Su Family lived in the suburbs, so it was even quieter than in the city. There was not even a hint of commotion. The quiet environment made one’s imagination run wild.
Ling Sheng, who was holding her son in her arms, kept her eyes open. She could not fall asleep no matter what. When she closed her eyes, the hallucinations she’d had in the water during the day surfaced in her mind. Waves of coldness surged from her back, and her limbs turned cold instantly.
She could pretend not to care, but when she calmed down, she could not stop thinking about it and considering possibilities. What was going on?
The sudden situation at sea last time could be considered a coincidence.
What about this time?
Not only had she heard things, but she had also seen her own body lying in a ward. She had seen Little Yuan, her agent, the doctors, and the nurses.
Everything had appeared clearly before her, as though she had seen it with her own eyes.
Perhaps she had.
Was she going back?
