Chapter 964 - You Gave Birth to a Good Daughter! (1/2)
Huo Xiao saw that his wife was angry, and he felt upset. She had kept it from him; she didn’t say a word to him. It was one thing for his dear granddaughter to lie to him, but even his wife had lied to him! He was the most pitiful person in the world. Humph! He was angry. “Tell us!”
Huo Ci was annoyed. “Mom, don’t protect her. This is how you guys spoiled her. Look at what she’s done. Is this appropriate?”
Su Xiyin asked, “Then what do you want? You might as well just beat the two of us to death.”
How could Huo Ci dare? “Mom, you know that’s not what I meant.”
Su Xiyin took a step forward and stood in front of Ling Sheng, looking at her son. “Then what do you mean? Are you blaming Sheng Sheng and me for lying to you? Do you want to vent your anger? Just beat me up then. Here, go ahead.”
Initially, Ling Sheng still felt quite afraid, but when she heard her grandma’s words, she was instantly amused. Especially since when her grandma got angry, her voice still didn’t sound harsh. To describe it in one word, it was fierce in a bit of an adorable way.
Huo Ci shot her another death glare. Look at her. How dare she laugh at this point in time? If his mother weren’t around, he would have beaten her up no matter what. He pointed at Ling Sheng and gnashed his teeth ferociously. “Just you wait!”
Ling Sheng hid behind Su Xiyin and closed her eyes before shouting, “Dad, I know I was wrong! Grandpa, I was wrong! I won’t dare to do it again.”
When Nangong Lengyu received the call…
Huo Ci bellowed irritatedly, “Make a trip to my place!”
Nangong Lengyu was in the company, planning for the upcoming advertisement shoot. Upon hearing him yell at her without explaining anything, she let out a cold snort and wanted to hang up. She was not very curious anyway. However, she was afraid that there really was something urgent. She controlled her temper and said, “What happened? Tell me over the phone!”
“What could have happened? It’s something I can’t say over the phone. Look at the good daughter you gave birth to. She can even cook up a lie about a fake pregnancy!” Huo Ci’s voice calmed down, but it was carrying a biting rage.
Even when Nangong Lengyu hung up, she still couldn’t digest what had just happened. Fake pregnancy? Sheng Sheng was lying to them. She was not pregnant at all!
Ling Sheng’s attitude toward admitting her mistake was excellent. She knelt on the ground, pinched her ears, and straightened her back. She looked at her father and grandpa. “I was wrong. I won’t dare do it again in the future. I shouldn’t have used this kind of thing as an excuse. I deserve to die. Grandpa, please punish me!”
How could Huo Xiao punish her? She was not a boy either. If she were a boy, he would have already lashed out with the cane without saying anything. No matter how angry he was, what could he do when it came to the granddaughter whom he had raised? “If you want to find an excuse to lie to your father, just tell Grandpa!”
Huo Ci’s face darkened. “What? Dad, are you planning to deceive me together with her? You guys are one family, while I’m the only outsider?”
Huo Xiao glared at him. He got angry just looking at him. “Speak nicely! Stop being sarcastic!”
“Stop arguing.” Su Xiyin gave the father and son a disdainful look and asked, “When Sheng Sheng was at the Su residence, she had her period. Both of you know that, right?”
Huo Ci nodded. It was at the Su residence that he knew for the first time that the term ‘Great-aunt’ did not refer to a person. It was a woman’s monthly period.
Huo Xiao was baffled. He asked, “What ‘Great-aunt’ of Sheng Sheng’s? Yu’er doesn’t have any sisters. Where did this ‘Great-aunt’ come from?”
“What does it have to do with that?” Huo Ci’s face was dark, however, he could not help but suppress his laughter. Look, how many men knew about such a thing? His father did not know either. He finally felt like he was not alone. He had found a comrade.
Huo Xiao still wanted to ask which Great-aunt she was and what her name was.
