Huo Ci frowned even more. He looked at him and asked in a low voice, “Why didn’t I know about this?”
“The investors and film crew stopped her. The girl doesn’t want others to know either. Even if she’s exposed, she’ll be the only one hurt in present-day society.”
“Have you caught the culprits?”
“We’ve caught them. They have committed a lot of crimes. They won’t be able to get out even if they are imprisoned.”
“What’s the point of sitting in prison? Those kinds of beasts should be dismembered into a thousand pieces and shot a hundred times!”
“You’re right. They deserve 10,000 deaths.”
“Where’s the girl? Where’s she from? How’s her family situation?”
“Why? Do you pity her?”
Huo Ci looked in the direction of the exit. The brat was wearing earphones and leaning against the railing. She lowered her head slightly to look at the tip of her shoes while waiting for them. After a moment of silence, he said, “I was just asking.”
In the past, he would not have cared about this. After all, it had nothing to do with him.
Recently, whenever he saw young girls, especially young girls around her age, resort to unscrupulous means to climb up the social ladder, he got so angry that he wanted to curse.
Perhaps he was judging others by his own standards. Upon hearing this news, he felt a little upset. When the girl’s parents found out, their hearts would ache immensely.
Ling Sheng found it a little strange. Her father, who always gave her unkind looks or scolded her in the past, was surprisingly not at odds with her. He was talking to her Fourth Uncle.
After getting out of the car, he snatched her bag and held it in his hand, giving Ling Sheng a big scare. She walked behind him and asked softly, “Father, what’s wrong? Are you alright?”
Was he running a fever?
Had he gone mad?
Why was his attitude so good?
Was he afraid of being reprimanded by her grandparents?
He was definitely afraid of being reprimanded by her grandparents.
“Mei Xuelin said you don’t have any jobs in the next few days, so take a decent break.” Huo Ci’s tone was very stiff and awkward. He was not used to this kind of interaction.
Ling Sheng felt a little scared. It would be abnormal if he did not shout at her. However, she nodded obediently and smiled at him. “Okay, thank you, Father.”
No one was born a masochist. People liked to be scolded by others, but they were not used to it.
Huo Ci did not say anything. When he saw that her smile was different from before, he felt weird. He should find a psychologist to check on her!
After Ling Sheng washed up, she secretly ran to her son’s room. Upon realizing that there was no one there, she hurriedly looked for Huo Ci. “Father, Xiaoqi is missing. Where is he?”
Huo Ci, who had just come out of the shower, gave her an impatient look. He swallowed his anger and said, “That brat must have run into my room again.”
Ling Sheng ran in hurriedly and realized that her son had curled into a small ball on her father’s big bed, which was two and a half meters wide. She bent down, wanting to carry him. In a gentle voice, she asked, “Xiaoqi, want to sleep with Mommy?”
Huo Ci gave her a disdainful look. “Sleep here. He’ll cry if he wakes up. I’ll go next door.”
When she saw his disdainful expression, Ling Sheng’s heart warmed for some reason. Her eyes felt a little warm as she said softly, “Thank you, Father.”
Huo Ci cursed under his breath before turning around to leave. When he reached the door, he turned around to warn her. “Don’t touch my things!”
Ling Sheng smiled and nodded before getting into bed. She hugged her son’s soft body and closed her eyes. Tears streamed down her face as her body shook uncontrollably. She could only stay further away from Xiaoqi, as she was afraid of waking him up.
She had always been magnanimous, but Xiaxia’s incident had made her tear out the unbearable memories of the original Ling Sheng, which she had tried her best to forget.
