Chapter 415: Why Are You Here?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Huo Yao was a little confused by these family ties. She suddenly interrupted the conversation. “Mom, who is this old... he?”
Song Ning looked up at her daughter. “Don’t you remember your grandfather from the countryside?”
Her grandfather from her hometown?
The host was brought up by her grandmother single handedly. When did she have a b.l.o.o.d.y grandfather?
Huo Yao pressed her forehead and said, “But...”
Just as she was about to speak, the old man interrupted. “I think I should go. I’m just a dirty old man from the countryside, so I get it if Yaoyao doesn’t want me to stay.”
He trembled and reached for his walking stick. He stood up with great difficulty and wanted to leave.
Huo Yao was appalled. “???”
Here he went on his acting spree again.
“Uncle, that’s not true.”
Song Ning and Huo Jinyan stood up and helped the old man sit back on the couch.
Song Ning turned towards Huo Yao. “It’s hard for him to come all the way here, so be nice.”
The moment Song Ning finished her sentence, even Song Jinyan looked at Huo Yao somewhat harshly despite how much he doted on her. He seemed to be saying that she should not treat the elderly in this manner.
Even though Huo Yao had barely spoken, her parents were already upset with her. “...”
Her parents calmed the old man down and a.s.sured him that he was more than welcome to stay. They told Huo Yao to sit with him before they headed to the kitchen.
After they had left the room, Huo Yao sat down next to the old man and turned to look at him expressionlessly. “Old Man, why are you here?”
Since Huo Yao’s parents were not around, the old man stopped acting pitiful. He rested both his hands on his walking stick and said arrogantly, “You b.u.mped into me but wanted to escape. Did you think you would get away with it?”
In a word, he was not going to let her go scot-free!
Huo Yao’s temples throbbed when she saw the old man show his true colors. “Don’t you know it well enough whether I b.u.mped into you or not?”
“Of course you did. Look at what a frail old man I am. How could I hurt you?” sneered the old man.
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes. She wasted no time with the shameless old man and asked him. “Fine. How did you find out where I live?”
She paused before she rephrased her question as she looked dead straight at him. “Or rather, why are you here? Stop saying you are my grandfather. I don’t know you at all.”
Although the old man’s eyes seemed a little unconfident, he persisted. “Since you banged into me, you have to take care of me.”
Huo Yao’s patience had run out completely. “I don’t care why you are here, but I’m warning you, you better make some excuse and leave my home. Or else, I will throw you out.”
The old man sneered as he raised his chin and looked even more arrogant. “Fine. Throw out a pitiful old man like me if you can!”
Huo Yao was speechless. “...”
Huo Tingrui walked in to see the old man sitting in the living room. He looked at his little sister quizzically. “Yao, who is this?”
“I’m Yao’s grandfather from her hometown,” said the old man with a kind look on his face again.
Huo Yao’s face became angrier.
She was itching to beat up the old man.
