Chapter 737: Sour and Smelly
He had asked Yin’er to stay at the old residence today and had come over himself to fetch his granddaughter home. The year was about to end, and it would be Chinese New Year’s Eve in a few days. The others had already gone back, but only their family was missing.
Look, look, look. What was the point of raising this scumbag? Every single one of the boys at home respected and gave in to him. Only this brat would irritate him as though he wanted to anger him to death every single time!
“Grandpa, my father and I will definitely go back. So, these two to three days don’t matter, right?” Ling Sheng tried to persuade him gently. “Don’t get angry.”
“Sheng Sheng.” Huo Xiao’s eyes shone with a sparkling light. His heart really ached and felt terribly uncomfortable. “Grandpa isn’t forcing you to go back. It’s just that Grandpa doesn’t feel good inside. We owe you so much. No matter what, we have to acknowledge your roots and ancestors. You’re a child of the Huo Family. We have to let everyone in the family know and inform the elders.”
Ling Sheng knew that this was what all old folks thought of. It would be useless for her to object. Instead, it would make Grandpa sad. Actually, she really did not care about things like titles. “Okay, I understand.”
After all, whether she stuck her head out or retracted it, she would be stabbed. Since she had to do this sooner or later, she might as well take advantage of this opportunity to resolve it.
Grandpa had also promised her father that he would not reveal her identity to the public for the time being. He would only let the people in the family know, and he would not organize a big banquet to welcome her into the family or anything like that.
After Ling Sheng was done coaxing her grandpa, she went to take a shower.
Xiaoqi took a piece of cake out of the fridge and sat on the sofa on his short legs. “Great-grandpa, do you want some?”
Huo Xiao took a sniff and felt that the cake smelled a little strange. He asked Xiaoqi, “How long has the cake been kept?”
Xiaoqi shook his small head and looked at it with big eyes. He did not know, but he was hungry. After looking around, he saw that there was his favorite cake still in the fridge, so he took it out.
“Don’t eat it first.” Huo Xiao got up with the cake and went to find Huo Ci. He wasn’t in the bedroom, study, or home theater.
In the end, he caught him in the eSports room playing games. He was so excited that he kept swearing as he played. An old man with an Internet addiction.
Huo Xiao gave him a disdainful look. Look at how idle and incompetent he was. Who could treat him as a human? He did not give Huo Ci a good face. “When are you bringing my darling grandchild back?”
“In two days.” Huo Ci said casually, his fingers moving quickly as he stared at the computer with a focused expression. It was the critical moment to kill the Big Boss, so he could not be distracted.
“When will it be in two days? It’ll be New Year’s Eve in another two days.” Huo Xiao really wanted to smash his computer. Why didn’t he know how to stop even when talking to him? Was it that fun?
He was already 40 years old and had a family to feed. Why was he still so playful!
“Dad, I’ll definitely go back.” Huo Ci was still behaving indifferently when he saw his father deliver a spoonful of food to his mouth. He frowned. “What is this?”
Huo Xiao asked, “A cake. Can you try it for me?”
Huo Ci had not expected his father to dote on him so much today. He was a little happy inside, as he thought to himself, The Old Master finally realizes that I’m his son. He opened his mouth and swallowed it immediately.
The next moment, he threw the mouse away and jumped up. He spat out the cake in one go while his handsome face contorted. “Dad, what the heck did you feed me?”
Huo Xiao asked him, “What does it taste like?”
Huo Ci even savored the aftertaste for a while. “It’s sour and smelly. This should be rotten!”
Huo Xiao was satisfied. He ignored his son, who had eaten the rancid cake, and walked out with the cake. As he walked, he muttered to himself, “I knew that it smelled a little strange. So it’s rotten. Thankfully, I didn’t let Xiaoqi eat it. Otherwise, he would have diarrhea.”
