Chapter 909: Definitely A Genuine Miserable Scream
Upon hearing Huo Xuanzhou’s pained cries, Su Yan’s elegant brows knitted tightly and she looked at Huo Ci. “Cousin, how could you hit him so hard? Is he your real nephew?”
“Wasn’t I beating him for you?” Huo Ci had hit him not because he suspected that he had done something bad, but because he wanted to ‘harm’ Su Yan by pursuing her. After he was done speaking, he looked at Ling Sheng meaningfully and clicked his tongue in amazement. “Listen to this. The two of them are probably going to develop feelings from applying some medicine.”
That stinky brat’s expression was hilarious. As two grown men, what was wrong with applying medicine? Ah Zhou was obviously shouting to let Yan Er hear, and feel guilty and sorry for him.
Ling Sheng could not take it anymore. Huo Xuanzhou was a b*stard. What was he shouting for? Wasn’t he just applying medicine? Her small universe exploded as she dashed straight into the room. “Huo Xuanzhou, are you still a man?! Why are you shouting away?!”
Huo Xuanzhou looked at her in confusion. What was wrong with him shouting? He was in pain and felt wronged, but he could not even shout a few words? Upon seeing the look of her burning with anger on top of her head, he said, “Are you crazy?”
“You’re the crazy one. Isn’t it just…” Ling Sheng ran over in a huff. Before she could reach him, she was stopped by Jun Shiyan. His big hand covered her eyes. “See no evil. ”
Ling Sheng frowned, then complained angrily, “You don’t know how disgusting his shouting sounds. Just let him die of pain. You’re not allowed to apply medicine on him.”
“I won’t,” Jun Shiyan replied with a chuckle. Upon seeing the young lady’s indignant look, he added, “Don’t look at him either. There’s nothing nice to look at. Be careful not to get a sty.”
Upon seeing the duo’s greasy behavior, Huo Xuanzhou, who had yet to finish applying the medicine, shouted while stretching out his neck, “Third Old Jun, you can’t be unkind as a person! You can’t give up halfway! Hurry up and finish applying it for me!”
Their voices were low, so Su Yan could not hear them. She did not know why Ling Sheng had gone in or what had happened, so she asked, “Huo Xuanzhou, are you done applying the medicine? Are your injuries serious?”
Upon hearing that Su Yan was concerned about him, Huo Xuanzhou hurriedly replied, “Don’t worry. It’s not serious at all. It’s just a small scratch.”
The more Su Yan heard him say this, the more serious she felt it was. He was deliberately saying this to comfort her. “Do you want to go to the hospital?”
Ling Sheng said, “Aunt, his skin isn’t even damaged! It’s not serious at all. He’s lying to you on purpose! Don’t believe his nonsense!”
Huo Xuanzhou gritted his teeth and pointed at Ling Sheng angrily. Fine, this brat had no conscience at all! How could she expose her older brother like that?
Xiaoqi looked at him seriously with big eyes. “Uncle, let me apply the medicine for you!”
Huo Xuanzhou was so touched that his eyes teared up slightly. Indeed, his eldest nephew was still the nicest to him. Everyone else was heartless.
As a child, what could Xiaoqi know? So, he did not hold back his strength at all. Just as Huo Xuanzhou was enjoying himself, his small hand pressed down all of a sudden.
Huo Xuanzhou let out another miserable scream. This time, it was definitely a real, miserable scream!
Upon hearing the scream, Su Yan frowned again and looked at Huo Ci. “Cousin, were you trying to beat him to death?”
Huo Ci raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled as he asked, “Why? Does your heart ache?”
Su Yan’s expression changed slightly, and her frown deepened. She glared at him. “What nonsense are you talking about? We’re just friends!”
Ever since that blind date, she had also met Huo Xuanzhou a few times by chance. She realized that he was completely different from the rumors outside. When she interacted with him, she felt very free and relaxed.
However, knowing that he was a playboy, she naturally would not let herself fall for him. Besides, she was not at the age of experiencing first love either. She had seen better people and had a secret crush that ended without a cause before. How could she fall into another man’s love trap so easily?
“Sure. Why are you so nervous?” Huo Ci smiled ambiguously.
Su Yan felt uncomfortable under his gaze. She knew what he meant and lowered her voice. “Cousin, I know what kind of person your nephew is. Instead of worrying about me, you should think about yourself more.”
Huo Ci smiled unconcernedly. “What business does it concern me?”
“Of course, it’s about you and Sister Yu.” Su Yan smiled beautifully, and her voice became even lower. “You’ve been celibate all these years. There isn’t even a female mosquito by your side. Isn’t it all because of her?”
Who did he want to hide this from? He had not been able to let her go for more than 20 years. The moment she came back, he had self-destructed right away. This was no way something her cousin would usually do. Only Sister Yu could force him to become unlike him.
“Who told you that?” Huo Ci’s smile did not change. A dark fire flickered in the depths of his eyes. “Let me tell you something as well. Don’t believe a man’s words no matter what!”
Upon seeing his unconcerned look, Su Yan broke the news. “Let me tell you something else. Sister Yu is unconscious and hospitalized.”
Indeed.
After this sentence…
Huo Ci’s body stiffened suddenly before he soon let out a cold snort. “Her G.o.dd*mn hospitalization has nothing to do with me! Even if she dies now, it has nothing to do with me!”
Su Yan laughed. Based on the split-second change in his expression just now, she could confirm that there were still some lingering feelings left. Or perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that there was a deep-seated love. She nodded and said, “That’s good then.”
Ling Sheng had just come out when her sharp ears caught the words ‘unconscious’ and ‘hospitalization’. “Aunt, what did you say? My mom has been hospitalized?”
When Huo Ci heard her call the word ‘mom’ so naturally and affectionately, his handsome face darkened like the bottom of a pan instantly. This d*mned brat had no conscience at all! That woman had lost her for more than 20 years, yet she wasn’t angry nor did she blame her at all? Where was her backbone?
“Yes, she’s in the hospital.” Su Yan had not expected her to hear that. Brother Mo had even instructed her not to tell anyone else.
She had not been close to Sister Yu and Brother Mo during the period when her cousin had been entangled in love and hate with her. It was only after she had gone overseas and she had been all alone there; the siblings had helped her a lot and they had gradually become familiar with one another.
However, she had not told anyone else either. Even her own family did not know about this.
As Nangong Lengyu had been hospitalized, Ling Sheng was worried so she wanted to go and take a look, but she did not want to meet the Old Master of the Nangong Family. After hesitating for a long time, she decided to go and take a look in the end. “Father, Third Master and I will go over to check on her now. Do you want to go?”
Huo Ci let out a cold laugh, his att.i.tude firm and certain. “No!”
Ling Sheng nodded and called Xiaoqi out. She prepared to go over to tell the elders in the Su Family and her grandparents. Then, she would go to the hospital and decided not to return anymore. It was quite troublesome.
Out of their own selfish motives, Huo Xiao and Su Xiyin did not want her to go over, but how could they stop the child from seeing her biological mother? What could they say? They reminded her to be careful on the road there and not to go home too late at night before letting her go.
Huo Xiao had even said that if the Nangong family’s old man made things difficult for them again and said something he should not say, just come back and tell him, and he would go settle the score with him.
Ling Sheng had just carried Xiaoqi into the car when she saw her father arrive.
Huo Ci walked past Jun Shiyan and got into the car straight away. He gave him a lazy look from the corner of his eyes. “What are you looking at? Sit in front!”
