Chapter 1116 - Locked At Home
Chapter 1116: Locked At Home
Huo Ci was lying. He was talking about how he met Nangong Lengyu again after so many years, how he found out about Ling Sheng’s existence, how he went through so much hardship, and how he finally resolved the misunderstanding between the two of them after experiencing many difficulties. He finally obtained Nangong Lengyu’s forgiveness and reconciled with her.
He was speaking sincerely, and he was so touched by his own words that he cried.
Ling Sheng listened quietly to his nonsense and could not help but give him a thumbs up in her heart. Impressive, as expected of the Movie King.
Nangong Lengyu was infuriated when she heard that, how could he be so good at spouting nonsense? He could even lie at will. She would be satisfied if he was as good as he claimed.
“Yu’er and I have just confirmed our relationship.” Huo Ci was very emotional. He wiped his tears and looked at Nangong Lengyu affectionately before turning to look at the two elders. “I knew that you wanted to see your daughter-in-law and granddaughter, so I brought them back for you.”
Huo Xiao frowned. After hearing what he said, he felt that what he said was too perfect. It was precisely because everything was too perfect that people doubted the truth of his words. They felt that something was wrong, but they could not find any fault with it.
It was the same for Su Xiyin, she exchanged glances with her husband. His explanation was reasonable, but she just felt that there was a problem.
“Sheng Sheng, what about you?” After hearing his son’s explanation, Huo Xiao gave him the benefit of the doubt temporarily. He pointed at Ling Sheng. “What’s going on between you and Jun Shiyan? What’s going on with Xiaoqi?”
Ling Sheng did not have the ability to make up stories like her father. She had already thought of how to explain it before coming.
Back then, she had met Jun Shiyan overseas. The two of them had fallen in love, and she got pregnant. It was only after they broke up that she realized she was pregnant. She could not bear to abort the child, so she gave birth to it and sent the child back to him.
It was a simple but believable story. It was much easier to convince people than Huo Ci’s story. Even if a couple fell in love and separated, it was not that uncommon in reality.
After Huo Xiao heard that, he probed, “Did Third Young Master Jun let you down first?”
Ling Sheng looked at her grandfather’s expression, which indicates that he would immediately kill the bastard if she said yes. She shook her head and decided to save him some dignity. “This kind of thing is not anyone’s fault. We were still too young back then.”
“Young?” Huo Xiao was furious. He was so angry that he slammed his walking stick on the floor. “How is Jun Shiyan young? He was already 25 or 26 years old back then. He is not young anymore, he was already so old. Why didn’t he let you have your way and coax you to stay? It’s fine if you don’t want such a heartless man. Don’t worry, Grandpa will definitely find you a better one.”
Su Xiyin nodded as well. No matter what kind of misunderstanding it was, they could just talk it out. Jun Shiyan was much older than Sheng Sheng, so he should be more tolerant of a young lady. Her heart ached as she held Ling Sheng’s hand and comforted her gently. “If you don’t like him, then don’t reconcile. You’re still young. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to meet the destined one in the future!”
“The Huo family doesn’t want a heartless man.” Huo Xiao snorted. “We must bring Xiaoqi back, we can’t let Xiaoqi suffer with him. Look at how scared the child is when he sees him.”
Su Xiyin added, “I think Xiaoqi is a little afraid of Jun Shiyan. Let’s get him back!”
The family had made their point. They all agreed that the man could be abandoned but the kid had to come back.
Huo Xiao immediately found the best lawyer in the capital and told him that no matter what, he had to get the custody of the kid back.
At night, Jun Shiyan received a lawyer’s letter. At the same time, he received the maternity test result. The words “mother and son” were particularly irksome.
There was also a maternity test report on the table in front of him. The results were already out, it was exactly the same as the one sent over. It confirmed that his son and that woman were indeed mother and son.
An Yan knocked on the door and came in only after hearing his acknowledgement. He stood respectfully at the door. “Third Master, Young Master wants his phone. Otherwise, he won’t sleep.”
Jun Shiyan frowned and glanced at the report again. He said coldly, “Confiscate his phone for the time being.”
He wants to use his phone to chat with that woman?
Since he had brought him back, he would never allow them to meet again.
So what if she was her biological mother? Other than giving birth to a son, had she ever fulfilled her duty as a mother?
An Yan nodded and left. He closed the door again and shook his head when he saw the Young Master on the second floor looking at him expectantly.
Xiaoqi exploded and rushed down aggressively and went straight to the study room. He looked at the cold man who was working. “Daddy, I want my phone. Return it to me.”
Jun Shiyan did not even raise his head. “Playing with a cell phone is bad for your eyes. From today onwards, I’m confiscating it.”
“You’re unreasonable.” Xiaoqi looked at him accusingly.” You said that you won’t stop me from seeing Mommy. You didn’t keep your word.”
“When did I stop you from seeing her?” Jun Shiyan finally lifted his eyelids and looked at him. “It’s already very late. Go back and sleep.”
“Then give me back my phone and I’ll go to sleep!” Xiaoqi stared at him stubbornly.
Jun Shiyan was already upset, and his son even came over to deliberately make him angry. He tried hard to control his emotions. He walked to him and carried him up while speaking gently, “Daddy will tell you bedtime stories.”
“I want mommy to read it.” Xiaoqi puffed up his cheeks angrily.
“Mommy is very busy. It’s the same if Daddy reads to you.” Jun Shiyan looked at his son and smiled gently. “Sleep with Daddy tonight, okay?”
Xiaoqi was a soft-hearted child. Hearing his gentle voice, he relented and nodded his head after a moment of hesitation. “Then you have to keep your word. You can’t stop me from seeing Mommy.”
“Okay.” Jun Shiyan agreed readily. Children were children after all. They just needed to be coaxed.
As for his irresponsible mother, it was best not to let him see her.
That woman was still fresh in his mind. After two days, he would forget about that woman and the Huo family.
On the second day, the third day, and the fourth day, Ling Sheng went to the kindergarten every day for three consecutive days but did not see her son.
The next day, she felt that she might have been late. Xiaoqi had been picked up by Jun Shiyan ahead of time everyday, so she went earlier each day but still did not manage to catch him.
It was only on the third day that she finally couldn’t take it anymore and went to the kindergarten to ask the teacher. Only then did she know that her son had never come to school after that day and that his family had applied for leave for him.
Xiaoqi’s eyes were red, and he was barefooted as he sat by the window to look out. The sun was very bright, and it shone on his body. His face, which should have been pink, was pale and full of worry.
He had already been locked up at home for three days. No matter if he cried, kicked up a fuss, or did not eat or sleep, he had not seen his father. He did not keep his word and locked him up. He was not allowed to go out, and he was not allowed to look for his mother and grandfather.
“Young Master, it’s time to eat.” An Yan came over with lunch and looked at the child who was staring out of the window blankly. After all, he had watched him grow up and his heart ached.
The Third Master had used such an extreme method to lock Young Master up at home so that he wouldn’t be involved with his mother and the Huo family..
