Chapter 62: Clueless Double Standards!

Ling Sheng grinned innocently, her sparkling eyes glowing.

Ling Xiao Qi remained silent. He pursed his lips and lowered his head, secretly taking a few glances. Then, he held Mommy’s hand tightly and smiled in secret.

Huo Ci jumped up after being hit twice, his handsome face ashen. “Mother, I’m already old enough. Can you let me save some face?”

“Since you know how to save face, you better speak nicely.” Su Xiyin put away the feather duster angrily. “You also know you’re not a child. Look at what you’ve done.”

Huo Ci muttered unhappily, “Since when is this my fault?”

“You...” Su Xiyin raised her feather duster. “How dare you talk back to me!”

Huo Ci quickly corrected himself. “I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare.”

Ling Sheng picked up her son and watched the commotion, not daring to laugh too arrogantly.

Oh my, it was so much fun. He had chickened out.

Ling Xiao Qi had a pitying look on his face. Grandpa was so pitiful that he had to be beaten even though he was an adult.

He had to help Grandpa.

When Huo Ci sat down again, his back ached.

His mother was not soft-hearted at all. She had lashed his body hard.

Su Xiyin held the feather duster in her hand, fearing that he would hide it again. “Speak nicely, or things will be different when your father asks you to do so.”

Ling Xiao Qi let his mother know before he ran over to Huo Ci quietly and slipped into his embrace.

This time, Huo Ci did not chase him away, nor did he scold him. He hugged him tightly like an amulet. “Mother, I really don’t know what happened. Ask her yourself.”

It was more than twenty years ago.

He had so many girlfriends back then... How would he know which one was her mother?

“You...” Su Xiyin picked up the feather duster and was about to strike when she saw him hold up Xiao Qi to stop her. She retracted her hand and smiled gently. “Xiao Qi.”

Huo Ci sighed.

Look!

He was definitely not her biological son!

Look at her attitude! These were serious double standards!

Ling Xiao Qi grinned and called out sweetly. “Grandma!”

“Not grandma. It’s great-grandmother.” When she saw Xiao Qi’s smile, Su Xiyin’s heart softened and she forgot to reprimand him.

“Great-grandmother.” Ling Xiao Qi’s words were sweet. “Great-grandmother, don’t hit grandpa. It’s mine and Mommy’s fault. Xiao Qi was sick and Mommy came to find him. We didn’t do it on purpose.”

When she saw how sensible the child was, Su Xiyin’s heart ached even more. She pointed at Huo Ci and said,” Look, Xiao Qi is more sensible than his grandpa.”

Huo Ci did not object. “Yes, you’re right.”

“You’re not convinced, right?” Su Xiyin’s expression changed instantly.

“I’m convinced, of course I am.” Huo Ci mumbled incoherently.

Huo Ci did not know who Ling Sheng’s mother was, and Ling Sheng did not know either. Only that piece of paper could prove their biological relationship.

“Yes.” Su Xiyin’s face was stern. “Do you know?”

She had no idea how her granddaughter had been through this for so many years. She had not even had the money to treat Xiao Qi. The more she thought about it, the more her heart ached and her eyes reddened.

“Mom, I understand. Can’t I find out for you? Why are you crying?” Huo Ci’s heart ached.

Xiao Qi reached out to wipe her tears. In a soft and tender voice, he comforted her. “Great-grandma, don’t cry. Mommy and I are living a good life. Grandma dotes on Xiao Qi too.”

Su Xiyin hugged Xiao Qi lovingly before she looked at Ling Sheng. “Sheng Sheng, come over to grandma’s side.”

Ling Sheng was also crying, and her eyes were swollen. She walked over to hug her, her voice hoarse. “Grandma.”
