Chapter 307: Character Game
The door to Huo Ci’s bedroom was locked from the inside. Xiaoqi tried his best but could not open it. He ran back to his mother to seek help. “Mommy, what if Grandpa’s door won’t open?”
Upon seeing the serious look on the child’s face, Ling Sheng gave him an evil idea. “You can’t wake him up. Go find great-grandpa and get him to wake him up.”
While she was brushing her teeth, Ling Sheng heard the Old Master’s bellow from outside, as well as the sound of his walking stick hitting the door. “You sc.u.mbag! Look at the time! Get up!”
Xiaoqi hid aside and covered his face, revealing only his eyes. Then, he realized what was going on. Mommy was very naughty. Would great-grandpa hit Grandpa later?
Huo Ci got up sleepily and opened the door. “Father, you’re too energetic. Please run two laps around the block. Why are you throwing a tantrum over me?”
“Don’t you know you’re going to your grandpa’s house today? Why are you still sleeping? Look at how old you are. Why are you making your old man worry about you?” Huo Xiao got angry when he saw him. He pointed at his nose and scolded him. “Look at yourself. What kind of person are you? You’re an unfilial child. You’ll be satisfied if you anger me to death one day.”
Huo Ci grinned at him. “Father, you’re right. You’re completely right.”
Upon seeing his smile, Huo Xiao got even angrier. He picked up his walking stick and got ready to hit him. “You brat, how dare you wear that grin? Your old man will beat you to death today.”
Huo Ci jumped up and ran. “How can you be so unreasonable? I’m getting beaten for smiling!”
Huo Xiao only regained his senses after a moment. He picked up his walking stick and chased after him. “You… You… Don’t run. Do you think I’m joking?”
Ling Sheng stood at the washroom door and watched as her father was chased and beaten up, causing chaos in the living room. She was finally happy. If her grandpa wanted to scold him, so be it. How dare he talk back? Not only had he talked back, but he’d also dared to play word games.
Upon seeing the brat standing at the door and watching him make a fool of himself, Huo Ci gritted his teeth in hatred. If it had not been for her, he would have been living a golden bachelor’s life!
D*mn, did the heavens not have eyes? Why did they have to send these two creatures over to make him suffer?
For a moment, they chased each other and fought. The atmosphere in the house was very lively.
Xiaoqi was stunned momentarily. Then, he mustered up the courage to run over and hug Huo Xiao’s thigh. “Great-grandpa, great-grandmother wants to pick some bok choy. You can come with Xiaoqi!”
When he saw his obedient great-grandson, Huo Xiao’s face became kind instantly. His voice became gentle as he said, “Okay, let’s go and pick vegetables.”
Huo Ci only gave him a disdainful look before turning around to enter the washroom. He then glared at his daughter ferociously. “You brat! You did it again!”
Ling Sheng’s face was full of question marks as she shrugged and shook her head. “Father, you can’t blame me for everything. It’s not like you don’t know that I’m visiting the old folks today.”
“I don’t believe you.” Huo Ci let out a snort. That brat was evil. How could she pretend to be innocent?
Huo Xiao and Xiaoqi came in after plucking the vegetables. Upon seeing Huo Ci drinking water from a gla.s.s, they bellowed, “Whose gla.s.s are you using?”
Before Huo Ci could swallow the water, he nearly choked. “Father, can you be quieter? I’m not deaf.”
“Who told you to use my grandson’s gla.s.s? Hurry up and put it down!” Huo Xiao pointed at him angrily. “The spoon belongs to Xiaoqi too, right? You sc.u.mbag! Who told you to use it?”
Huo Ci frowned, his anger simmering in his chest. “How would I know who this cup or spoon belong to? There’s no name written on them.”
