Chapter 310: Kidnapping and Silence
At 63 years old, he had been kidnapped and had nearly died. In the end, the Rong Family’s eldest son and the Yan Family’s second son had risked their lives to save him.
Later, he had found out that the second son of his family had done it. He had hired someone to kidnap and silence him. However, he was still his biological son, so he could not kill him. He had been so angry that he had broken the second son’s legs on the spot.
Ever since that incident, the eldest brother and the others had been much more restrained. It was only when he had turned 68 years old that he had publicly announced that he did not need the Huo Family’s a.s.sets. He did not care about the Huo Family’s a.s.sets and had entered the entertainment circle, which had nothing to do with them.
Only then had the eldest brother and the others’ att.i.tude toward Yin’er gradually changed. Now that they could maintain a peaceful facade and not cause him trouble, he was thankful.
Money was something more valued than familial relationships. If he were to die now, those sc.u.mbags would make a scene over the inheritance!
Upon seeing her grandparents fall silent, Ling Sheng did not know what they were thinking. She stole a look at her father, who was in the driver’s seat, and chose to shut up sensibly.
What could happen? This was just a small issue for a wealthy family. When money and property were involved, the more complicated a family was, the more serious the fight would be. Even biological brothers with the same father and mother could turn against each other, let alone her father, who had a different mother. He must have suffered a lot in the Huo Family.
“You know what song Xiaoqi learned last week?” Ling Sheng wanted to ease the heavy atmosphere. She placed Xiaoqi on her lap and smiled. “Sing it for great-grandpa and great-grandmother, alright?”
“Xiaoqi did not learn any children’s songs.” Xiaoqi corrected her seriously and cleared his throat. “Xiaoqi can sing Grandpa’s songs.”
Ling Sheng was dumbfounded. She had seen Xiaoqi singing and dancing while performing her father’s debut song. The key was that he had definitely watched the MV and learned how to act like a giant. His expression and facial tics were particularly uncanny.
Huo Xiao and Su Xiyin were amused by him immediately. They wanted him to do it again.
Upon seeing that her grandparents were finally in a better mood, Ling Sheng heaved a sigh of relief. One had to be happier when visiting relatives. What was up with pretending to be worried about visiting relatives?
Xiaoqi finished singing three songs before Ling Sheng asked him quietly, “When did you learn your grandpa’s songs? How come I didn’t know?”
Xiaoqi secretly took a look at Huo Ci, who was in front of him. When he was not paying attention, he whispered, “Grandpa taught them to me. In the black house.”
Ling Sheng stole a look at her father, who was standing in front of her. He was quite narcissistic. He had asked Xiaoqi to learn his songs, but Xiaoqi had really learned them well.
The black house was the home theater. Xiaoqi had always called it a black house.
The two ancestors of the Su Family lived in a manor in the neighboring city. After retiring due to old age, the uncles at home had stayed in the manor to keep the elderly company. When they had time, their children and grandchildren would go back to stay there and visit their elders.
Ling Sheng had come to acknowledge her family. This was her first time there, so it was a very big deal. Ever since the Su Family had confirmed the date, they had been preparing to get everyone back for the reunion.
On Sat.u.r.day, the children attending school had the day off as well. The old folks had said that they should all go home in the future.
When the car stopped, they saw some people surrounding them. They were a few half-grown boys. The oldest was about 17 to 18 years old, and the youngest was only three or four years old.
Among them was a very handsome pair of twins who looked like they were in their teens. Their style of dressing was completely different, as though they were trying their best to stand out from each other.
