“You were planning to stay with him if we didn’t come home?” Huo Xiao gritted his teeth. He was really angry. He hit the floor with his walking stick.
Great! My granddaughter actually brought a man back while we were not at home. A man! A man!
Ling Sheng’s scalp tightened as she looked at her angry grandpa. She was scared out of her wits. Don’t get angry, or you’ll get sick. She hurried over to coax him, her voice nervous and worried. First, she was not meant to snap back. She would just admit her mistake. “Grandpa, I was wrong. Don’t be angry. Don’t be angry. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have brought him back. Grandpa, don’t be angry.”
Jun Shiyan looked at the old man. “Grandpa, I forced her to let me come over. If you want to punish me, punish me. I didn’t spend the night here. I just came to keep Sheng Sheng company…”
“Did I tell you to speak?” Huo Xiao’s burning eyes were full of murderous intent as he looked at him. He raised his walking stick and hit him hard on the back. “Shut up!”
When Ling Sheng saw her grandpa hit the man heavily with his walking stick, her heart skipped a beat, and her face changed. Normally, when she saw her grandpa hit her father, she would gloat. However, her father would not just take the beating obediently. He would hide.
The Third Master did not dare dodge the heavy blow. He did not know how painful it would be. Her grandpa was in a rage, so he did not show any mercy.
Su Xiyin looked at the man in front of her. After being hit, he did not frown at all. His bearing was impressive as he continued speaking respectfully. “Grandpa, you can hit or scold me. Don’t be angry. Being angry can hurt your health. It’s my fault.”
“Who’s your grandpa?” Huo Xiao sneered and pointed at him angrily. “Stop shouting!”
They had not even started dating yet. Grandpa? Who was he calling grandpa? Who was his grandpa?
That brat wanted to abduct his precious granddaughter? No way! He would check if he was worthy!
“Old Master Huo.” Jun Shiyan immediately corrected himself. His smile did not falter as he looked at him politely and said, “I was in the wrong. I should have paid you a formal visit. I’m here to apologize.”
Huo Xiao had not expected him to be so timid. He did not retaliate or curse. He glared at him ferociously and raised his walking stick again.
Ling Sheng did not dare speak now. If she said anything to defend the Third Master, it would definitely add fuel to the fire and make her grandpa even angrier. She had not expected her grandparents to come back today. Otherwise, she would not have dared to bring the Third Master home. She could only look at her grandma for help.
Upon seeing that the Old Master was about to hit him, Su Xiyin stopped him and said sternly, “Sheng Sheng, explain what happened!”
How dare the duo have a date at home? Forget about her. Given her husband’s temper and Ci Er’s temper, they would beat her to death!
Ling Sheng helped Huo Xiao sit on the sofa, but Jun Shiyan did not dare sit. He stood by the side. If he had known this would happen, he would not have listened to Sheng Sheng. He should have visited him personally instead of getting caught like this—something he had not expected.
The treatment he received didn’t matter. He was afraid that Sheng Sheng’s grandpa would treat her badly or reprimand her. Although the two of them were in love, it was understandable that the elderly man would always be worried about his precious granddaughter. Explaining would only seem to deepen the misunderstanding and make it appear as though something had really happened.
Xiaoqi, who was sitting beside his great-grandmother, took a look at Uncle Jun, who was standing beside his mother. He held Ling Sheng’s hand in his and remained silent, not daring to speak. Great-grandpa was really scary. He was even scarier than when he had hit Grandpa.
Great-grandpa had just hit Grandpa. Would he get angry and beat Uncle Jun to death?
