Chapter 890: Negotiating with the Huo Family
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Nangong Lun, Mr. Nangong.” Uncle Liu stole a look at the Old Master.
It had been more than 20 years. Ever since the two families had fallen out, his family’s old master had not seen the old master of the Nangong Family for more than 20 years.
Ling Sheng could clearly see the expressions of her grandparents change when Uncle Liu mentioned Nangong Lun’s name. Her father’s expression also changed, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
Old Master Nangong, Nangong Lun?
She had never heard anyone mention the Nangong Family’s Old Master’s name. So this Nangong Lun should be her nominal grandpa?
Ling Sheng did not dare ask the person beside her. So, she looked at Jun Shiyan quietly and saw him nod, he gave her a positive answer.
“All of you should leave!” Huo Xiao paused for a long time before saying.
Huo Pei’s eyes lit up. Ignoring Huo Ci’s sharp and mocking gaze, he stood up and ran.
G.o.d was helping him!
At the critical moment, the Old Master of the Nangong Family had come. He had been given sufficient time to submit to the Old Master. As long as their father spoke, Sixth Brother would not be able to force him to hand over the business in his hand again!
Upon Huo Xiao’s order, before the others could leave, Ling Sheng, who was sitting on pins and needles, was the first to stand up and run. She even dragged Jun Shiyan along.
However, before she could run two steps, Huo Xiao stopped her. “Where are you going?”
Before Huo Xuanzhou could move, he saw her slip away faster than a rabbit. He was amused. How interesting. Her grandpa was here yet she wanted to be the first to run!
Ling Sheng’s forehead darkened as she stopped in her tracks. She let out an awkward cough and pouted as she looked at Jun Shiyan pitifully. She really did not want to stay!
What the h.e.l.l did her maternal grandfather have to do with her? She did not want to see that heartless old man who had abandoned the original owner!
However, her mother had already gone home. Why had he come to China? Had the two of them missed each other by accident? One had gone home from China, while the other had come to China from home.
Jun Shiyan met the young lady’s pitiful eyes and comforted her in a low voice. “It’s all right. He doesn’t eat people.”
Uncle Nangong was a rigid person who liked silence. Although he had a good relationship with Sister Yu and Brother Mo, he did not have a deep relationship with him.
Ling Sheng’s small face was bitter as she sat back down with a frown. Unwillingness was written all over her face. She took a look at her grandpa and tried to negotiate in a soft voice, “Grandpa, you guys can chat. Can I take Xiaoqi away first?”
Huo Xiao’s expression was not good. He was so serious that it was a little scary. His face was stern as he said, “You’re not allowed to go anywhere. Sit right here.”
He wanted to ask him why.
He did not want the child? So, he had to throw the child away? Why couldn’t he have secretly sent the child back to them? His dear granddaughter would not have suffered so much outside!
He had wanted to search for him, but he had dared to come looking for him at his doorstep now? How bold of him!
It was rare for Su Xiyin to become so solemn too. Her grip on Xiaoqi tightened involuntarily, and her chest felt like it was on fire.
Great!
How great!
He had actually dared to come personally!
Huo Ci’s expression was a little complicated as he maintained his casual and lazy att.i.tude. He even took out his phone and started playing games.
Ling Sheng took a look at her sloppy father. She really wanted to remind him loudly that his father-in-law was here!

After everyone left, only Ling Sheng and her family were left. Huo Xiao, Su Xiyin, Huo Ci, Xiaoqi, Ling Sheng, and Jun Shiyan were present.
Jun Shiyan sat opposite them in self-awareness and even shot Xiaoqi a meaningful look. Quick-witted Xiaoqi informed his great-grandmother before running over to him.
“Dad, is Grandma’s father here?” Xiaoqi’s expression was very serious, and his voice was also pressed very low. He was already very comfortable calling him Dad. He used it freely.
“Yes.” Jun Shiyan nodded and looked at the few people opposite him, who bore different expressions.
Ling Sheng felt a little pressured. She was sandwiched between her father and grandpa. She rubbed against them and stole a look at this and that. In the end, she stood up like a rabbit and ran to Jun Shiyan’s side before sitting down.

Upon seeing the young lady’s series of small actions, Jun Shiyan felt that she was so adorable that his heart melted. His lips curled up into a loving smile as he comforted her gently. “Don’t be nervous. We’re all here.”
He really wanted to hold the young lady’s hand, but there was a lot of pressure coming from the opposite side, especially when the young lady had just run over. Her grandpa was already staring at him like he was watching a thief.
When Ling Sheng arrived at this side, she finally felt that she could catch her breath. Her grandpa’s and father’s auras were really suffocating. This was also the first time she had felt such a heavy oppression from her grandpa.
Although her father seemed to be playing a game, that indescribable pressure really wasn’t something an ordinary person could withstand.
The current situation would only get worse later.
For now, she only wanted to know if her mother had returned home or if she knew that the Old Master had come to China.
It had been 23 years since Nangong Lun had stepped into China, and he had never thought that his stepping into China again was related to the Huo Family.
What an ill-fated relationship! Ill-fated!
He had never expected Old Li to betray him and disobey his orders. He had actually handed the child over to his niece to raise.
Neither had he expected Old Li to be muddled when he got old. After his niece’s death, he had actually gotten that child to come to the Huo Family to find Huo Ci!
Now, Yu’er already knew the truth. He had no intention of gaining her forgiveness, nor had he ever regretted his decision back then.
However, he was the cause of this situation, so he should also be the one to end this.
The child had been found. Given Yu’er’s temper, she definitely wouldn’t leave her alone. He could accept her daughter for her sake.
He had come this time to negotiate with the Huo Family and take her away from them! This was Yu’er’s wish, so he would fulfill it for her.
Ling Sheng was really a little nervous. She did not know what she was nervous about. Perhaps it was because her grandparents had become serious, which also made her feel that the mood had gotten inexplicably solemn.
The moment Nangong Lun entered, his gaze landed on Ling Sheng. He had seen all the photos and videos. She was a very smart child who liked to smile. She was prettier in person than on television. Her black, bright eyes resembled Yu’er’s.
Ling Sheng was also sizing him up. The old man was in his sixties, and he was hale and hearty. However, he looked serious and rigid. His square face was very imposing, and he did not have the kind and amiable air an old man of this age should have.
After some comparison, she still liked her paternal grandpa. She did not like this so-called maternal grandpa. He gave her a bad feeling.
Xiaoqi looked at the newcomer curiously too.. He pursed his lips and sat upright beside Jun Shiyan and Ling Sheng.
