Huo Yao put on her slippers and headed to the living room.
Huo Yao saw three people sitting in the living room when she reached the room. But she could only see her parents’ faces while the third person sat with his back facing her. Due to the couch’s backrest, all she could see was his head.
“Mom, Dad, I’m back,” greeted Huo Yao obediently. She was not curious to see what their guest looked like.
She placed her bag on the cabinet and went straight to the water dispenser. She poured herself a gla.s.s of water, and drank it before her mother’s voice reached her.
“Yaoyao, aren’t you going to come and greet your grandfather?”
Huo Yao almost choked when she heard her mother say ‘grandfather’.
“Cough cough cough...” Huo Yao coughed until her face flushed a little. After she finally caught her breath, she placed the cup on the water dispenser before she walked over to the living room.
Grandfather? It must be her mother’s father or something.
For a moment, she thought that her mother was referring to her biological grandfather. After all, Old Madam Yang’s husband had pa.s.sed away a long time ago.
Huo Yao thought over it while walking back to the living room. The moment she went close to the couch and caught sight of her so-called grandfather, she was dumbstruck.
Heavens! It was the old geezer who had blackmailed her!
The old man sat opposite Song Ning and Huo Jinyan. He turned his head as Huo Yao approached him. His lips curved upwards when the young woman looked startled. He said happily, “Hi, Yao. Long time no see. I sure miss you a lot.”
Why should he b.l.o.o.d.y miss her?
Even though Huo Yao was not vulgar normally, she cursed him vengefully in her head.
The old man saw how furious Huo Yao was, so he turned his head towards Song Ning and Huo Jinyan and smiled. “Just look at that. She’s so happy that she has become speechless.”
Huo Yao was at a complete loss. “???”
“Haha! That’s right. After all, you haven’t seen each other in ages.” Huo Jinyan was certain that his daughter was so happy that she was dumbstruck.
“Uh huh. I miss her so much.” The old man choked a little before he lowered his head and wiped his eyes.
Huo Yao opened her eyes wide in disbelief. What was up with this attention-seeking old geezer?
He was just smiling happily a moment ago, but now he was in tears.
Song Ning handed him a box of tissue. “Uncle, don’t cry. Now that you are here, just stay as long as you like and spend some time with Yaoyao.”
Huo Yao frowned when he heard how Song Ning greeted the old man.
What uncle?
Was he not Song Ning’s biological father?
The old man lowered his eyes as he pulled out a piece of tissue to cover his face and asked softly. “Really? Can I really stay here?”
“Certainly. We are more than happy to have you,” replied Song Ning hurriedly.
The old man’s hand froze. He turned his head to look at Huo Yao cautiously. “I’m worried that Yaoyao won’t like having me around.”
Huo Yao was stunned by his shamelessness. “...”
“Of course not. Yaoyao is a good kid. I’m sure she’s even happier that you are staying,” said Song Ning with a smile.
The old man’s lips twitched. How could this girl be considered as a good kid?
What about her claim that she would not hesitate to beat up an old man?
