Chapter 1018: Setting Off Firecrackers at the Door

Xiaoqi, who didn’t have Dad, was very pitiful. Mommy, who didn’t have Dad, was also very pitiful.

He and Mommy were both very pitiful.

Su Xiyin had always known that the child was sensible, but she hadn’t expected him to think so much. Her heart ached as she hugged him. Then, she heard the child cry out loud, sad and helpless like a little beast. Her eyes reddened instantly.

What kind of sin had they committed to cause Sheng Sheng and Xiaoqi to wander on the streets outside? They had suffered so much, and the child was so sad. How badly hurt did he have to be?

Jun Shiyan was Xiaoqi’s father. With the DNA report written in black and white, no one could deny the authenticity of this matter.

Huo Ci and Huo Xiao were still skeptical of Jun Shiyan’s words.

Huo Xiao looked at Ling Sheng. Although his dear granddaughter hadn’t said anything about Xiaoqi’s biological father before, they had all gone to her hometown and asked around before understanding the gist of what had happened. However, they were also afraid of touching her sore spot, so they had not dared to ask her. Who would have expected Xiaoqi’s biological father to be Third Master Jun?!

“Grandpa, I’m more inclined toward what the Third Master said.” Ling Sheng looked at him and said seriously, “My memory hasn’t been consistent recently. Perhaps someone really had hypnotized me and filled in a piece of memory that doesn’t belong to me.”

“In that case, why were you chosen?” Huo Xiao still couldn’t agree. It was very simple to use some method to change a person’s memory, for example, through hypnosis. Now that it was also technologically advanced, getting a woman pregnant didn’t only have to be done through skin contact.

However, exactly who was the one with such an omnipotent ability? Before they had even known about Sheng Sheng’s existence, he had already known about her identity. If he wanted to impregnate her, why did he make it so that she had gotten pregnant with Third Master Jun’s child?

Their Huo and Gu families had always minded their own business. This person had jumped through hoops to accomplish this exhausting matter. He really couldn’t understand exactly what kind of objective the person held to do such a tedious thing. Could it be that he was just bored?

“Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’ll definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give all of you a satisfactory answer.” Jun Shiyan had also been wondering what the mastermind’s motive was for doing such a thing.

However, no matter how he thought about it, he simply couldn’t figure out the answer.

Ever since he had found out about Xiaoqi’s identity, he had been getting people to investigate the whole time. However, he had yet to find any clues to this day. It was as though this had materialized out of thin air. It was so clean that not a single clue had been left behind.

Nangong Lengyu could vouch for him that the day of Ling Sheng’s accident was his mother’s death anniversary. He had never left his home in France.

That day, Nangong Lengmo was with him. Unless he had the ability to teleport or possessed an Anywhere Door[1], it was impossible for him to find Ling Sheng and commit the crime.

The most reasonable explanation at the moment was that someone had taken Jun Shiyan’s seed and captured Ling Sheng that very night. Then, he had used another method to get her pregnant and transplanted a memory that did not belong to her.

Huo Ci was very angry and wished he could kill Jun Shiyan. However, Nangong Lengyu and Nangong Lengmo had already proven his innocence. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he knew very well inside that although Third Master Jun was an *ss, he still wouldn’t do such a despicable thing like laying his hands on a high school girl.

Huo Xiao’s face was livid, and his expression was frighteningly somber. “Investigate! You guys, investigate properly! I have to know who the mastermind is and why he did such a thing. Before this matter has been figured out, the two of you are not allowed to get married!”

What the heck is going on?!

Xiaoqi suddenly became Third Master Jun’s biological son.

But Third Master Jun didn’t know about Xiaoqi’s or Sheng Sheng’s existence. He didn’t even know when his seed had been stolen from him.

“Uncle, don’t worry. We’ll definitely investigate this matter thoroughly.” Nangong Lengyu’s heart felt like it had been stabbed by a thorn. Her mind was also in a mess because of this incident.

The child was Ah Yan’s. Three years ago, Sheng Sheng had not suffered such an unbearably painful encounter either. Logically speaking, this should be a good thing, but now, it was as though she could never find the end of the thread, only the messy wool.

Somehow, Jun Shiyan had a feeling that the young lady knew something, but he also knew that even if he asked, she definitely wouldn’t tell him.

Ling Sheng knew the truth, but she couldn’t tell him. When she returned to the past, the Third Master had told her solemnly that she mustn’t tell the current him about the fact that she had transmigrated in the book. Otherwise, it would affect the recovery of his memories.

The world in this book was actually a parallel world. They weren’t the protagonists. The Third Master could only live for two years in the book’s setting. If they did not change that, the two of them would follow the plot set by the author and disappear completely from this world after they died.

The Third Master had said that they had once thought of countless ways, but in the end, they realized that none of them worked. They could awaken in other worlds, but they couldn’t stay in this world for long.

The reason they could live a long and stable life here was because of Xiaoqi. Xiaoqi had been born in this world, so naturally, he belonged to this world.

Because of Xiaoqi’s existence, the attraction of blood ties was incredibly strong. That was why she had been able to transmigrate from another book to the one she was currently in. That was why the Third Master could meet her here.

And Xiaoqi was the bona fide product of their love. At a specific point in time set by the author in the book, she and the Third Master had both arrived, and Xiaoqi was born.

However, in the setting of this book, the original owner of the body had gotten pregnant with Xiaoqi after she had been raped due to her negligence. Later, Heaven would forcefully revise everyone’s memories. Therefore, everyone around, including the original owner of the body, believed that Xiaoqi was the product of rape.

Ling Sheng had not expected that after this incident was discovered, her dad, mom, and grandparents wouldn’t have a very fierce reaction. On the other hand, the one who was affected the most was her precious son. Ever since that day, he had stopped calling Third Master ‘Dad’ and instead turned to calling him ‘Uncle Jun’.

Huo Xiao and Huo Ci were very satisfied with this form of address.

Especially when Xiaoqi had distanced himself from Jun Shiyan, Huo Ci was dying to cheer, applaud, and run to the door to set off firecrackers as a celebration.

Xiaoqi was participating in a talent show next week. It was an event held by more than 20 kindergartens in the district. He was performing with drums.

Huo Ci stood up from beside the drum set and sized it up before reaching out to pat the little fella’s head. “Come. Let’s go out.”

Xiaoqi’s eyes lit up abruptly. “Grandpa, are we going out to play? To the amusement park?”

Huo Ci gave him a disdainful look. “We’re going to buy clothes. Don’t embarrass me during your competition next week.”
