Chapter 863: The Third Master’s Visit
“Father, what do you mean? We spent so much effort to find someone for her, but in the end, it turned out that we were being nosy.” Cao Yunxian let out a cold snort. “She had a boyfriend, yet she still went on a blind date. Isn’t that a scam?”
“That’s right. We were so devoted, but we’re in a difficult position now?” Ye Ru echoed.
“Stop complaining in front of me,” Huo Xiao shot them a look. “Don’t think I don’t know what sly plan you were bearing! Do you want me to ‘discuss’ with you about Song Yiqing and Gu Yang?”
Initially, he had also thought that they were serious about treating Sheng Sheng well. After that incident yesterday afternoon, he had gotten someone to check on them. That’s when he found out that the only two young men he liked, Song Yiqing and Gu Yang, had been arranged by them at the last minute. The blind dates they had initially arranged for Sheng Sheng were not them.
Look at what they were up to. They were full of evil tricks and wanted to push his dear granddaughter into a fire pit. Before he could settle the score with them, they started feeling dissatisfied instead.
Cao Yunxian and Xiao Hui’s expressions changed slightly, and their hearts skipped a beat. They had not expected the Old Master to know everything. They had not had any good intentions to begin with, so they did not dare say anything else.
On the other hand, Jiang Meiyun was sitting beside the Old Master. “Father, who’s Sheng Sheng’s boyfriend? Do we know him? What does he look like? What’s his character like?”
Huo Xiao’s att.i.tude toward his eldest daughter-in-law improved a little. She treated his dear granddaughter the best. When he thought of Jun Shiyan, he wasn’t very fond either. “Instead of thinking about whether he’s good or not, is he worthy of my granddaughter? However, he is just a little better than those riff-raff you introduced him to.”
Jiang Meiyun laughed. In the Old Master’s eyes, no one was worthy of Sheng Sheng. However, from his words, the person should not be bad. She just did not know which family’s young master he was from in the capital.
Sheng Sheng had been involved in a scandal with Gu Shen before. She did not know if it was him. If it was, that would be pretty good.
Cao Yunxian and Xiao Hui ceased fire and did not dare to cause trouble again. However, they did not think highly of the boyfriend they were talking about from the bottom of their hearts.
Not only was Ling Sheng an illegitimate daughter, she also had a chaotic personal life and was even raising a son. Which normal man would be willing to date her?
Upon seeing the Old Master’s unwilling face, one could tell that he was not an impressive person either. Perhaps he was not even as outstanding as the people they had recommended!
Everyone waited and waited. Half an hour had already pa.s.sed, but he still did not come.
“Sixth Brother, is this person still coming or not? Ask him.” Huo Ting was anxious from waiting. He took a look at the clock. It was already seven o’clock.
Huo Ji said sarcastically, “Your son-in-law is really impressive. He made so many elders wait for him without eating. I really want to see who this holy being is.”
“Sixth Brother, your son-in-law doesn’t attach enough importance to his father-in-law. How can he be late for a visit?” Huo Pei smiled coldly.
He did not know who he was, to make the whole family wait for him. He sure was impressive.
“He’s flying back from overseas. It’ll take some time,” Huo Ci even spoke up for him. Then, he saw the message flash. He had already arrived.
“Old Master,” Uncle Liu entered in a panic. “The Third Master of the Jun Family is here to visit.”
“Let him in,” Huo Xiao said nonchalantly.
“Third Master Jun has never had any interaction with our Huo Family. Why did he come so late at night?” Huo Ji was puzzled.
“That’s right. He never visits anyone unless he has a hidden agenda.” Huo Ji was also wondering if he had offended Jun Shiyan.
Third Master Jun was not a good person. There was no one in the capital who was not afraid of him. He was ruthless with his actions and cold-hearted. He did not dare to come into contact with such a person.
“Second Brother, I heard that you bid compet.i.tively against him before the New Year. Is it you?” Huo Pei looked at Huo Zhen. Had he offended him?
Huo Zhen frowned. In fact, he was actually a little concerned. He had used some dishonest means, but he had not succeeded in the end anyway. That piece of land had still landed in Third Master Jun’s hands in the end. He looked displeased. “That was a legitimate business compet.i.tion.”
Huo Pei chuckled, “I was joking. Just joking. Since he’s here to visit, he must be here to see your father!”
Huo Ci watched their nerves tense up, and there was no hiding their worry and fear. His lips curled up coldly. He did not know where sc.u.mbag Old Jun had gotten his authority from.
These few brothers of his probably hadn’t done anything good. They were probably afraid that he would come to the door to settle the scores. Look at how scared they were.
Huo Xiao frowned deeply as he looked at the good-for-nothings beside him. What was wrong with Third Old Jun? Look at how nervous they were! They must have done something shameful!
When Jun Shiyan entered, he saw the young lady sitting on the sofa immediately. He smiled at her and called, “Sheng Sheng.”
The man’s voice was s.e.xy and gentle, making one’s heart pound uncontrollably.
Gu Shiqi and the others, who were chatting with Ling Sheng, looked over immediately and were stunned on the spot. They could only stare at him in a foolish daze.
The man was wearing a long black trench coat, which accentuated his tall figure and impressive bearing.
Inside, he was wearing a red turtleneck woolen sweater that revealed his slender, charming neck and s.e.xy Adam’s apple.
Further up was a distinctly chiseled chin, red lips, a tall figure, deep and narrow eyes, and brows that reached his temples. It seemed like every stroke was G.o.d’s proudest work.
On this man, ‘unparalleled beauty’ was not enough to describe his beauty. His kingly aura was not enough to explain his imposing manner.
He was the focus of everyone’s attention just by standing there. He was an existence that looked down on the world.
“Mr. Jun.” Ling Sheng jumped up from the sofa and ran over in small steps, her eyes full of joy.
Upon hearing Ling Sheng’s voice, Gu Shiqi and the others finally snapped out of their daze and looked at one another. They saw unconcealable amazement and infatuation in one another’s eyes.
However, they did not recognize the man in front of them, nor had they seen him in any setting.
Was he Ling Sheng’s boyfriend?
The man was very good-looking and had an astonishing aura. It appeared that he must be someone with status!
Ling Sheng was the kind of person who could fall on even ground while running when excited. When she reached Jun Shiyan, she lost her footing and fell toward him.
Jun Shiyan instinctively grabbed the young lady’s arm. In the next moment, he wanted to pull her into his embrace and hug her tightly. However, he remembered where he was in the end. He restrained the pressing impulse and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Be careful. What’s the hurry? I won’t run away.”
Ling Sheng seemed to remember something, and the smile on her face disappeared. She let out a snort and wanted to ignore him. In a very low voice, she said, “How dare the two of you hide this from me?”
