Huo Xiao pointed his walking stick at Huo Ci. “What’s wrong with Jun Shiyan? Sheng Sheng’s right. He’s just a thousand times stronger than you!”
Ling Sheng turned around and saw the energetic old man standing there. As he lashed out at Huo Ci, he was full of energy. An obedient smile immediately formed on her cold face. “Hi, grandpa.”
Huo Ci was momentarily stunned by the sudden appearance of the old man. “Father, I’m teaching her a lesson. Why are you causing me trouble?”
“Who are you scolding? How dare a wild and idle person like you punish others?” Huo Xiao took off his shoes and threw them at his face.
Huo Ci dodged them in a flash. “Father, we can talk this out. I won’t do anything.”
He was already an adult. Could he let him have some dignity?
How was he going to punish this brat again in the future?
“You dare to hide?” Huo Xiao had a bad temper as well. He walked over and raised his walking stick to slap him. “How can I let you scold my good granddaughter? How can I let you bully my good granddaughter? You’re an adult. Do you realize you’re a father? Can’t you speak nicely to my good granddaughter?”
Upon seeing Huo Ci hopping while her grandpa, who was missing a pair of shoes, was limping, Ling Sheng wanted to laugh.
“I learned everything from you. Look at you! What did you teach me?” Huo Ci gritted his teeth as he ran. He then pointed at Ling Sheng angrily. “If she wasn’t a girl…”
Huo Xiao bellowed again. “What else do you want? Would you hit her if she was not a girl?”
For a moment, chaos ensued on the balcony.
Huo Xiao chased after his son with his walking stick while Huo Ci ran all over the balcony.
“Wait and see if your old man will beat you to death today. How dare you hide such a big secret from me?”
“Father, I swear I would have told you after getting back. Ask Mother if you don’t believe me.”
“I believe you, but I’ll still beat you to death. Besides my granddaughter, how many other illegitimate children do you have? You better behave yourself.”
“No, I really don’t have any more!”
“How dare you be so stubborn? Your old man will slap you to death today. You said that my granddaughter and Xiao Qi are dogs. What does that make their old man?”
“Father, I was wrong. I was wrong, alright? I’m the only dog here!”
“How dare you spout nonsense? If you’re a dog, then what are your old man and your mother?”
“Dad, don’t hit me. This pot was a birthday gift eighteen scholars gave me! It cost five million!” Huo Ci hid behind a pot of tea flowers.
He was speechless. He wanted to cry, but there were no tears!
He could not retaliate, so he could only suffer a beating. After all, he was his father!
Ling Sheng stood aside, gloating.
Xiao Qi hugged her thigh and looked up at her. “Mommy, will grandpa be beaten to death?”
“No,” Ling Sheng answered seriously.
Xiao Qi still felt sorry for his grandpa as he watched him being beaten up like that.
“Tell me why you let my good grandchild wander around for twenty years. After suffering so much, I almost didn’t see the mother and son. Shouldn’t they be beating you up?” Huo Xiao chased after his son for a long time, but his face was neither flushed nor breathless.
“Yes!” Huo Ci could only admit his mistake. What else could he do?
If his father had a heart attack, his mother would be heartbroken.
What he could not bear the most in his life was seeing his mother sad or crying.
“You should not have hit my good grandchild!” Huo Xiao said again.
“Do you know what she did?” Huo Ci was not convinced.
Huo Xiao shot him a look. “What did you say?”
“Father, I’ll end this here. Even if you beat me to death, I won’t allow her to date Third Master Jun.” Huo Ci went all out.
