Chapter 63: I Am Grandma
The sight of them made Huo Ci’s nose feel a little sore, and his eyes widened miserably. “I have to get up early tomorrow to catch a plane. I’m going to bed.”
When he was done bathing, he saw the three of them still chatting on the sofa.
“Mother, Ling Sheng has to join the film crew this morning and Xiao Qi has to go to school. Can’t we talk another day?” Huo Ci frowned.
“You still dare to talk about my family. If you’d told me earlier, would I only have found out now? Wait and see, your father will skin you alive.” Su Xiyin gave him a look of feigned anger.
Huo Ci said, “Don’t tell Dad about this for now. I’ll tell him personally when I get back from filming.”
Otherwise, if he could not film the scene, he would be called back to be reprimanded.
“Okay, got it.” Su Xiyin had a granddaughter, but her son was like a weed. “Then you have to hurry up. I won’t be able to hide it for long.”
“Can’t you go home? If you come here every day, Father will naturally suspect something.”
“You make it sound simple, but what about Xiao Qi and Sheng Sheng? Who’s taking Xiao Qi to kindergarten? Who’s cooking for Sheng Sheng? You?”
“Okay, I was wrong. Can you help me hide it for a week?”
“I will, just go and sleep.” Su Xiyin looked impatient.
Ling Sheng smiled like a little fox. She hugged Su Xiyin and kissed her profusely. “Grandma.”
Su Xiyin’s face was stretched wide by her smile as she said gently, “Sheng Sheng, can grandma sleep with Xiao Qi and you today? Grandma has a big bed.”
“Okay.” Ling Sheng learned from her, as she was indeed very gentle.
She liked this grandma a lot. Her body was fragrant, and her words were like water. She was gentle even when scolding others.
“Great-grandmother, are you really my great-grandmother?” Xiao Qi’s big eyes stared at her seriously.
He liked his great-grandmother so much.
“Of course, it’s true. How can a great-grandmother be fake?” Su Xiyin went over to give the little child a kiss, her heart melting into a puddle of water.
She had thought he was her daughter-in-law’s son.
This had turned out to be a big joke. They were her granddaughter and great-grandson.
The next morning, Ling Sheng opened her eyes, only to realize she was having a splitting headache. She stretched her back in distress when she saw someone open the door and smile. “Sheng Sheng, wake up for breakfast.”
“Auntie.” Ling Sheng sat up in pain with a frown.
Auntie hadn’t left yesterday?
“Auntie? I’m Grandma.” Su Xiyin did not know whether to laugh or cry. “My head doesn’t hurt. I forgot, didn’t I? Don’t go out with your father in the future, you insensible sc.u.mbag. How could he let you drink so much?”
Ling Sheng was taken aback, so it took her a while to react before she stuttered, “You… You know?”
“I was afraid Xiao Qi would be alone at home yesterday, so I didn’t go home. Otherwise, how long did the two of you intend to hide this from me?” Su Xiyin carried the hangover soup over and handed it to her. “Drink this first.”
Ling Sheng’s mind went blank.
What had happened yesterday?
What had she done yesterday?
Hadn’t she been with Jun Shiyan?
Why had she been brought back home by her stingy father?
The Auntie in front of her was not her Auntie, but Huo Ci’s mother? Her grandma?
Chaos!
While she was washing up, Ling Xiao Qi told her briefly what had happened yesterday.
It was only then that Ling Sheng had a vague notion of what seemed to be the real facts.
Huo Ci left before the sun rose, saying he was there to catch the plane.
Ling Sheng was baffled. Her stingy father was filming a movie in the desert northwest!
