Chapter 974: She’s My Daughter
However, that little fool looked extremely stupid. Did she know how to avoid the rain when it was raining outside? Did she know to eat when she was hungry? Her clothes were quite thin too. Did she know to wear more clothes when it was cold?
The car reached the Lu residence first. Not far ahead was the Huo residence. When Lu Yubai got out of the car, he looked at Huo Ci. “Return my phone to me!”
Huo Ci frowned and only uttered a single word between clenched teeth before saying, “Scram!”
Lu Yubai said, “Huo Ci, you’re being unreasonable! This phone is mine. You f*cking played with my phone and even told me to scram!”
F*ck, there was something completely wrong with his Sixth Brother today. Just because that little fool who had suddenly appeared had gotten lost, he became so ruthless during the fight. If he had not stopped him, that son of a b*tch Bai Heng would have been beaten to death.
After winning the fight, they went to the billiard hall to play billiards. When they went to the bar to drink and celebrate, he had been distracted the whole time too.
“Do you want me to request for you to scram?” Huo Ci gave him a cold look. “We’re both brothers. Can’t I f*cking use your phone to play a game?”
When Lu Yubai was kicked out of the car, he even knocked on the window in the pouring rain. “Sixth Brother, umbrella! Give me an umbrella.”
The car left abruptly with a swoosh and even splashed water all over his face and body. He was so angry that he cursed loudly, “F*ck! Huo Ci, I refuse to be your f*cking brother!”
The car drove quite far out before it reversed backward. When he saw the person in the car throw something out, he narrowed his eyes and took a look. It was an umbrella. Lu Yubai became even angrier. His body was all f*cking drenched already! What the h.e.l.l was the point of having an umbrella?
The rain grew heavier as time pa.s.sed. Ling Sheng squatted under the eaves of the Huo Family’s house, shrinking her body as she looked up at the sky. She was curled up into a small ball and looked weak, pitiful, and helpless.
The rain had already turned to sleet. When they landed on the ground, one could hear the sounds of the ice pelting the ground. The wind was a little strong, and she could not completely avoid the rain under the eaves. The drizzle that blew in had already drenched her hair and clothes.
Huo Ci was still playing the game. No wonder Fifth Brother was unwilling to give him his phone as though it was some treasure. There was actually a game inside. He had even bragged to him that it was the world’s first cell phone with a game.
The car came to a standstill at the gate.
Huo Ci looked up slightly and said very impatiently, “Why aren’t you going in?”
The driver, who was a younger lackey, honked twice before turning around to look at Huo Ci. “The main gate is open, but Brother Ci, there’s someone squatting at the entrance! It’s a small young lady. She looks quite pitiful.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the youth in the backseat throw his phone away in the car, open the door, and dash right out. He was stupefied. Who was that girl? Brother Ci’s new lover?
When Huo Ci got out of the car, his eyes constricted suddenly. He was annoyed and furious. The young lady was hiding under the eaves and had shrunk into a tiny ball. He stomped over aggressively.
“Brother Ci, umbrella, umbrella!” The lackey hurriedly chased after him with the umbrella. However, before he could catch up, he was glared at. He did not dare to follow him anymore and just stood on the spot, chuckling mischievously.
She was definitely Brother Ci’s woman! However, Brother Ci’s speed when it came to changing girlfriends was even faster than them changing clothes. He had never seen him bear a crush on any woman!
Upon hearing someone’s shout, Ling Sheng looked up and saw the young man standing in front of her. Her eyes grew hot with grievance and they reddened afterward. She looked at him and called out, “Dad, you’re back.”
Huo Ci just stood there and looked at the little fool, who was even going to cry after greeting him. He frowned. Women are f*cking troublesome. “How did you know about my house?”
Ling Sheng sniffled and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “This is my house too.”
Huo Ci was dumbfounded. She really was fully immersed in her character. Judging from the expression in her eyes and her appearance, she did not look like an idiot though. “How did you get here?”
Ling Sheng’s soft and hoa.r.s.e voice carried a strong sobbing tone. “I walked here.”
“Then make way. Don’t block my path here.” Huo Ci let out a cold laugh and gave her a condescending look from high above before turning to leave.
Ling Sheng sobbed and sniffled while pretending to cry. She was truly feeling sad inwardly too. No one recognized her; her father did not recognize her, and Fifth Uncle did not know her either. When she thought about how her grandparents would also treat her as a stranger, she felt even more upset.
Huo Ci had only taken two steps when he heard the little fool’s cries. He frowned and turned to look at her. His tone was very stiff. “Why are you still squatting around? Get in!”
Ling Sheng’s eyes lit up abruptly as she jumped up and ran after him with small steps. She even tugged at his clothes. “Dad, do you believe me now? I’m really your daughter. I came from 22 years in the future.”
“You even know how to time travel?” Huo Ci let out a cold snort. Great, the more they talked, the more outrageous it became. He gave her a sideways look. “Then, send me 22 years into the future! Let me see if you’re my daughter!”
“I’m serious. I really came from 22 years later,” Ling Sheng sniffled, so freezing cold that her body quivered.
Huo Ci reached out and threw her into the car before getting in himself. Then, he took another look at her. “Don’t spout nonsense when you enter my house. Be careful, or I’ll send you to a research inst.i.tute for dissection.”
Ling Sheng nodded obediently and agreed with a hum. “Okay, I understand.”
Huo Ci felt that he was crazy indeed. He had actually felt irritated for a whole day over a little fool who was a complete stranger. In the end, he had even brought her home.
“Don’t tell me that you really are in love with me?!” Huo Ci threw her a coat and let her put it on. When he saw that the little fool’s clothes were all wet and her hair was also wet, his heart even ached a little.
“How could that be?” Ling Sheng turned to look at him. “You’re my dad. If you don’t believe me, you can bring me to do a DNA test.”
“That’s good, then. You’re too young, and you’re not the type I like either.” Huo Ci looked her up and down before saying haughtily, “Don’t push your luck just because you think I have a good temper. I’m just pitying you and don’t want to stoop to your level.”
Ling Sheng strongly felt that her father’s temper was fantastic at this moment. It really was mild. However, if he truly dared to date such a young girl like her, her grandpa would probably break his legs instantly.
When she got out of the car, the rain had already turned into complete hailstones. When they pelted the car, the trees, and the ground, cracking sounds rang out.
“What did you say?” Huo Xiao pointed at Huo Ci, his face ashen with anger. He picked up the feather duster smoothly and held it in his hand.
Su Xiyin, who was also stunned, stood rooted to the ground. She sized up the little young lady, who was so tiny, fair, and delicate, standing beside Huo Ci. The look in her eyes could not help but soften.
Ling Sheng called out sweetly, “h.e.l.lo, Grandpa, Grandma!”
At this time, Grandma was only 38 years old. She was an elegant, intellectual, and beautiful married woman. She had the mature charm unique to women her age. She had maintained herself well, and there were no visible wrinkles when she did not smile.
At this moment, Grandpa had not started using his walking stick. He was in good health, and his body was very robust. His complexion was also very good. Wrinkles had already crawled up his face, but he had the toughness of a man.
“Dad, this is really my daughter. Really, she’s my biological daughter!” Huo Ci let out a lazy laugh. He took on a devil-may-care att.i.tude.
“You sc.u.mbag! You’re spouting nonsense carelessly,” Huo Xiao glared at him angrily and immediately moved to strike him. “I’ll beat you to death today!”
