Chapter 854: Gossip Is a Fearsome Thing
Upon hearing this, Huo Ci said casually, “I made them break up. What’s wrong?”
Huo Xiao lifted his leg and kicked him before forcing out the words between his teeth. “Who told you to make decisions blindly? It wasn’t easy for Sheng Sheng to finally get into a relationship. Who told you to interfere?”
Break up?
Look at the good thing he had done?!
If they got Third Master Jun to come over now, see who would still dare to spout nonsense.
Huo Ci did not know why he was beaten up, but his face was full of question marks. “Father, are you crazy? What are you doing? Didn’t you not want them to be together either? Didn’t you ask me to break them apart last time?”
“You even started to guess at my thoughts?” Huo Xiao was so angry that he picked up his walking stick and hit him. He gritted his teeth. “I didn’t hit you this afternoon. Are you itching for a beating?”
Yes.
He had said that.
Therefore, he was too embarra.s.sed to ask him for help now!
However, why did he break them up just like that? Sheng Sheng liked Third Master Jun so much. How sad must she be!
Huo Xiao was angry with himself, but it was not appropriate for him to ask Third Master Jun to come over either. He could only be angry at himself. He was so angry that he could not sleep. He tossed and turned in bed but could not fall asleep.
Su Xiyin said, “Hubby, I’ll talk to Third Master Jun and get him to come over!”
The best solution to this matter was to shut their mouths. As long as Third Master Jun came, no one would dare spout nonsense again.
She had to admit that this method was the simplest and most effective one to date.
“No.” Huo Xiao let out a breath through his nose. They had already broken up. If she went back to find him, what would he think of his granddaughter?
He knew that as long as Third Master Jun came, no one at home would dare to gossip about her. His granddaughter would not have to suffer over this minor issue.
No matter how much he loved and doted on her, he could not stop others from talking. Gossip was a fearsome thing indeed. People would talk about it secretly even if they did not say it openly.
“You’re all suffering because you want to save face.” Su Xiyin kicked him angrily before turning around to sleep with her back facing him. She did not want to talk to him anymore.
She would discuss this with Sheng Sheng tomorrow and get Third Master Jun to come over after all! She could not take this lying down.
What did they think they were? Who were they calling a b*stard?
Huo Xiao thought for a while, but he still could not fall asleep. He turned around and hugged his wife. He let out a low sigh, and his voice became gentle. “Yin’er, you’re not allowed to look for him, all right? Our Sheng Sheng can’t take the initiative to reconcile with him. If a girl takes the initiative, she’ll be despised.”
Su Xiyin thought to herself, The two of them are doing fine. What despise and reconciliation? They haven’t broken up at all. If it weren’t for the two of you blocking their way, why would there be so much trouble? Why would Sheng Sheng be bullied like this?
Now they knew to remember Third Master Jun’s merits. What had they been doing? They were all looking down on him with disdain.
Huo Xiao did not hear his wife’s reply and repeated himself, “Did you hear me? Don’t let Sheng Sheng look for him. Girls of our Huo Family can’t be so spineless. What’s a man? She can find another man if he’s gone.”
Su Xiyin said, “Okay.”
Huo Xiao was baffled. “What do you think is so good about Third Master Jun? Why do I feel that the people who went on the blind dates with Sheng Sheng are even worse than him?”
Normally, he would be annoyed when he saw Third Master Jun. After seeing Sheng Sheng’s blind dates, he could only compare them to demons and ghosts. They could not even compare to Third Master Jun. Those people should hurry up and roll back into their mother’s womb. Don’t be an eyesore in front of him.
Su Xiyin was tickled pink. What did he mean by those ‘people are even worse than him’? After seeing the good options, when one looked at the bad choices, one naturally would not take a liking to them.
The next day, before the sun rose, Ling Sheng was awoken by her father knocking on the door. She was extremely sleepy and felt as though her head had just touched the pillow before she got up again. She had not slept for long.
Xiaoqi was very energetic. While she was washing up and putting on makeup, he dragged Grandpa out to choose clothes.
When the family of three reached the living room, they saw Huo Feifei and Prince Edward waiting for them downstairs.
Ling Sheng listened to her father and wore casual clothes. She was not going to a beauty pageant. The number one priority was to keep herself warm, so she dressed herself like a ball. She looked down at Huo Feifei. She was wearing a cheongsam, revealing her thighs. On the outside, she was covered with a long coat. It looked nice and really showed off her figure. However, even just looking at it made her feel cold.
“Sixth Uncle, Sheng Sheng,” Huo Feifei greeted them with a smile, as though the unpleasant incident that day had not happened at all. “Edward and I are also going to the airport to fetch King William and his wife. Let’s go together!”
Edward followed along with Huo Feifei. He nodded symbolically as a greeting. His gaze landed on Ling Sheng for a moment, his eyes full of craftiness.
“I know the way,” Huo Ci let out a cold snort. He did not have a good expression on his face. Because he disliked that Ling Xiaoqi was walking slowly, he bent down and picked him up.
Ling Sheng held in her laughter as she took a look at her father, who was dressed flashily. He was so handsome that he could make one do the splits. Impressive!
The expression in Huo Feifei’s eyes changed slightly. When she saw Huo Ci, who was wearing a long black trench coat, carrying a child, he looked even more elegant and indescribable. He had a tall figure and a handsome face. He did not look like a forty-year-old man at all. When she compared him to Edward, she felt complicated inwardly. “Sixth Uncle, this is Edward’s first time in China. He doesn’t know the way.”
Huo Ci gave them a sideways look, arrogant and cold. “He doesn’t know the way. What does that have to do with me?”
Huo Feifei’s smile froze on her face and she choked. She had not expected him to reject her directly. She was extremely furious. This was too much. What kind of family was this?
They had never treated her as a family, especially Huo Ci!
Xiao Hui was also present. She looked at Huo Ci and smiled. “Sixth Brother, we’re all one family. Feifei is a girl. You know that she doesn’t have a good sense of direction while Edward just came to China. Please just bring the two of them with you.”
“Sixth Brother, give me some face and bring them along. Edward and King William are good friends!” Huo Li put on the stance of an elder brother, but he did not dare to order him around. He could only request him to do this.
With Sixth Brother’s temper, no one in the family was as stubborn as him. He was the kind to fall out with others and refuse to give anyone face. No matter what compliments you said, it was useless!
With a cold, handsome face, Huo Ci swept them a look. After the farce last night, how could they have the cheek to request something of him today? He did not say if he was willing or not, but he carried Xiaoqi out of the house.
Huo Li said, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and follow him! Your Sixth Uncle has agreed.”
Xiao Hui urged the duo as well. She spoke nicely, “Follow them. We’re family after all. If your Sixth Uncle doesn’t dote on you, who else can he dote on?”
Ling Sheng curled her lips. She had finally seen it for herself. Her father really did not give anyone face. He could criticize anyone he wanted. Even Fourth Uncle had to act according to his mood. However, they were the ones who needed a favor.
Speaking of which, they did not know the way and did not know how to get to the airport? There was the GPS. The two of them deliberately wanted to go with them!
