Chapter 798: Status Symbol (2)
During the Lunar New Year last year, Feifei had been here too. She had only mentioned letting Feifei stay in that room as it would be a waste to leave it empty all the time. Why not stay there? The Old Master had agreed too.
Now that he had found his biological granddaughter, he immediately refused to admit it. Since this old man was heartless, he could not blame her for kicking up a fuss.
“Fourth Daughter-in-Law, watch your words. Who’s an illegitimate daughter? My dear granddaughter is the legitimate eldest granddaughter of the Huo Family. She’ll acknowledge her ancestors tonight.” Huo Xiao hated hearing people call her an illegitimate daughter the most. His face was livid, and his expression turned cold.
“Oh, Father, it’s not like you don’t know how ridiculous Sixth Brother was back then.” Upon hearing the Old Master’s protective words, Xiao Hui felt a ball of anger inside and laughed sarcastically. “Now that a biological granddaughter has come, who knows if the b*stards who have stayed outside all these years will come one after another? When the time comes, shall we vacate all the rooms for them?”
She knew that the old fogey wanted to bring back the b*stard from Sixth Brother’s family. She had thought that he would at most let her stay in the guest room. Oh, no! Now, he wanted her to stay in the best main room. She could not take this lying down!
“Stop calling her an illegitimate daughter. I’ll tell you something then. If all of Sixth Son’s illegitimate granddaughters are found, I can even spare my own room for them.” Huo Xiao was not a good-tempered person in the first place, so he got annoyed when he saw this snarky thing. “Don’t try to climb all over me.”
Upon seeing that the Old Master was angry, Xiao Hui knew that she had gone a little overboard. She hurriedly changed her words and tried to persuade him in a different way. “Father, please don’t be angry. My heart simply aches for Feifei. You too know that Feifei will be bringing her fiance back this year. Her fiance is a prince, and his family lives in a castle. If he comes to our house, how can we let him stay in the guest room? How will he talk about the Huo Family? What will the foreign media report about our Huo Family?”
Her Feifei had lived up to her expectations. After studying overseas for two years, she found a prince who would inherit the throne in the future. His family a.s.sets were spread all over the world. Any random search on the internet would find reports about him. Feifei had finally earned her respect and made her proud in front of others.
“Prince? They haven’t even married yet. You should tell her to be more careful. Do you think there are princes everywhere in Europe during her studies? Would a prince like her?” Huo Xiao was not happy at the mentioned Huo Feifei.
That girl was far inferior to his granddaughter. From her looks to personality, she could not even compare to a single finger of his dear granddaughter. What prince? She should take care not to be deceived and even end up helping the person to count his money[1].
As for that prince, he was a prince from a small country in Europe. He was just like a lucky charm. There were only a few people with power and money. She spoke about him as though he was worth a lot of money.
“Father, you’re too much. I know you don’t like Feifei, but you don’t have to humiliate her like this. What did Feifei do to you?” Xiao Hui was full of anger, but she did not dare to flare up at the Old Master. She could only pretend to suffer from being wronged. “If I had known that you didn’t like Feifei, I wouldn’t have asked her to come home. Feifei treats you respectfully like her biological grandpa. It turns out that filial piety can’t be exchanged for affection.”
Great!
How great!
He could look down on Feifei like this just because she was not his biological daughter. He was probably feeling unsettled that Feifei had found a prince whom that b*stard from Sixth Brother’s family could not compare to!
Humph!
Let them wait and see!
Feifei would be back tomorrow. Then, she would show them what a prince, a true aristocrat, looked like!
