Chapter 853 - Where's Third Master Jun?
Chapter 853: Where’s Third Master Jun?
“You, shut up.” Huo Xiao’s chest heaved violently from anger. He pointed at the older Huo Xu, who was not crying. “Xu Er, you tell me. What happened?”
Little b*stard. Who was he calling a little b*stard?
What did children know? They were taught by adults in the end!
Great, was this how they called Xiaoqi in private?
Huo Lin and Huo Xu were the grandchildren of the second branch. The second branch had two sons, and Huo Xuanze and Huo Xuancong both had sons.
Zhang Yuechan carried the one who was crying and complaining. Upon seeing the Old Master ask the other child, she was extremely anxious and tried her best to signal him with her eyes.
Huo Xu even nodded at his grandma. He raised his head indignantly and pointed at Xiaoqi angrily. “Great-grandpa, we were having a snowball fight. We were having fun. This little b*stard, who has a mother but no father, pushed Brother Lin down. He’s bad. He’s truly evil.”
Xiaoqi was in his great-grandmother’s embrace. Upon hearing his slander, his eyes reddened instantly. He looked at him stubbornly and said, “He pushed me first! Xiaoqi is not a b*stard either.”
Grandpa had said to beat whoever called him a little b*stard again to death!
“Who’s the little b*stard if you’re not the b*stard?! Where’s your father? Call him out and show us then!” Huo Xuan shouted as well.
Upon hearing her grandson’s words, Ye Ru instantly felt as though she had been struck by lightning. She was so nervous that she wanted to rush over to cover his mouth. He must not spout nonsense again.
“What’s the hurry? Everyone, stay where you are. No one is allowed to move,” Huo Xiao shot a death glare at them and pointed at Ye Ru.
Ye Ru stood rooted to the ground and shot her grandson a look, not allowing him to speak.
Huo Xiao said, “Huo Xuan, continue.”
“He’s a little b*stard, and his mother is not a good person either. His mother is a little slut. That’s why she gave birth to such an ill-bred b*stard.” After saying that, Huo Xuan looked at Huo Xiao smugly. “Great-grandpa, do you think I’m right?”
Huo Xiao’s walking stick nearly hit his head.
Ling Sheng’s expression was cold, and her eyes were extremely calm as she looked at Huo Xuan. “Who told you I’m a little slut and that my son is a little b*stard.”
Huo Xuan looked at her in disdain and let out a snort. “My grandma and the others said so.”
“Father, the children are spouting nonsense. What do they know? I don’t know where they heard this, but they can’t be treated seriously.” Ye Ru hurriedly pulled Huo Xuan into her embrace. “What nonsense are you spouting? When did Grandma say such a thing?”
Upon being pinched by his grandma, Huo Xuan let out a cry. “Why are you pinching me?!”
Ye Ru wished she could throw this child away. He was already eight years old, yet he was still so insensible. He did not even understand when she shot him a signal with her eyes. He might as well raise a dog!
“What does Huo Xuan know? He just listens to the adults and imitates them.” Huo Xuanzhou was gloating. He smiled and said, “I’ve really broadened my horizons. So this is how all the aunts teach their children! Huo Xuan, what else did your grandma tell you?”
Huo Xuan had been spoiled rotten to begin with. He was usually the little emperor at home, the kind who had the guts to pee on his grandparents’ heads. “My grandma said she came to our Huo Family to snatch our assets. Uncle Zhou, you have to be careful of her too. When she takes all the Huo Family’s assets away, we’ll have to starve.”
Huo Xiao was so angry that he nearly choked. He gritted his teeth and pointed at them as he growled, “Okay, you’re really great. You’re really the good daughters-in-law of the Huo Family!”
Ci Er was unwilling to come back. He was the one who had forced Sheng Sheng and Xiaoqi to come back. In the end, the children came back and received such treatment.
Great.
How great!
It was all his fault.
Everything was his fault!
Upon seeing that the matter had already blown up and they could do nothing to explain themselves anymore, Ye Ru and the others decided to wait and see how Old Master would do!
“Ah Zhou, invite all your good uncles, my good sons, to the ancestral hall!” After saying that, Huo Xiao looked at Ling Sheng. “Sheng Sheng, assist Grandpa. Let’s go.”
He could hit and scold his sons whenever he wanted, but he could not do the same to his daughters-in-law as a father-in-law. He could not even say anything harsh.
When Ye Ru and the others heard the words ‘ancestral hall’, their faces turned ashen instantly, and the anger and hatred in their hearts surged. They knew that this matter had gotten out of hand and the Old Master meant business now. Every time they went to the ancestral hall to seek punishment, they would lose half their life.
Was that little b*tch Ling Sheng and the little b*stard she had brought back so important to the Old Master?
Huo Xuanzhou even turned around and smirked smugly at them. “Aunties, as your nephew, I would like to remind you of something out of goodwill. You have to think and act like one, and be careful with your words.”
Then, he ignored the angry glares shooting at him from behind and ran two steps before shouting, “Grandpa, Grandma, Sheng Sheng, wait for me!”
Serves them right! They were out of luck!
Let’s see if they would still dare to gossip behind their backs. They had to punish these people properly. They were all two-faced creatures!
Ling Sheng had heard from Huo Xuanzhou that the men at home had all been called to the ancestral hall.
The Huo Family had always been like this. When a woman made a mistake, their man had to take responsibility for it. After all, it was their fault that they could not even watch over their own wife and let her spout nonsense behind their back!
Besides Huo Ci and the eldest son Huo Ting, everyone else suffered a heavy beating.
Because of this, their originally tense relationship became even more tense. Initially, they had been fighting and scheming against each other in secret, but now, they were doing it openly.
One had to have a strong heart to survive in a big family. When it was dinner time, the wives of the various families had already returned to normal. It was as though the incident in the afternoon had not happened. They did what they had to do.
However, the men who had been beaten at home did not have it as easy. They sat on the stools as though they were being tortured. Cold sweat poured down like a waterfall, and they did not even dare to cry out in pain.
Huo Xiao had initially thought that that scumbag Third Master Jun was out of the question and was not worthy of his dear granddaughter. However, he had seen many repulsive b*stards in the past two days. After seeing the demons and monsters, he felt that he was still a bit better.
After dinner, Ling Sheng helped him back to his room and sat on the sofa to watch television. Xiaoqi was eating watermelon seeds beside her.
Su Xiyin watched as Xiaoqi cracked the watermelon seeds, but he did not eat them. He just placed them aside. He had already arranged some melon seeds.
Huo Xiao thought about it, hesitated, and finally made up his mind. He forced himself to ask Ling Sheng, “My dear granddaughter, where’s Third Master Jun?”
Ling Sheng was stunned for a moment. When she regained her senses, she said calmly, “We broke up.”
Huo Xiao suddenly became nervous, and his voice became louder. “Why did you break up?”
Ling Sheng frowned strangely. “My father doesn’t want us to be together. Grandpa, didn’t you disagree too?”
Huo Xiao was furious. That scumbag! Who asked him to do this?! He looked at Ling Sheng. “Go and get your father here.”
“Tell me, what do you want?” Su Xiyin sighed and pointed at him while shaking her head.
In the past, he had been d*mn unwilling to let Sheng Sheng be with Third Master Jun no matter what. He kept giving him the cold shoulder and despised him. When the boy had called to say that he wanted to visit them, he hung up straight away after shouting a few words.
Now that Ling Sheng could not meet someone who was more eligible than him, he thought of him again.
Ling Sheng called Huo Ci over quickly.
Huo Xiao wanted to punish people, so he did not dare let his dear granddaughter watch. “Sheng Sheng, take Xiaoqi to bed. Aren’t you going to the airport with your father to fetch him early tomorrow morning? Sleep early.”
Ling Sheng carried Xiaoqi away. “Grandpa, you and Grandma should sleep early too.”
“Bye, great-grandpa, great-grandmother, and grandpa,” Xiaoqi waved his hand reluctantly.
Ling Sheng left with Xiaoqi.
Huo Ci sat beside him consciously, eating the small pile of melon seeds. Xiaoqi had peeled them for him. The brat had recently learned how to peel melon seeds without drooling.
Su Xiyin looked at him, not knowing what to say. “How old are you? Why are you eating Xiaoqi’s food?”
“Shouldn’t he be filial to me?” Huo Ci said matter-of-factly. He turned to look at Huo Xiao. “Father, did you call me for something? Don’t worry, our family will leave tomorrow or the day after. I won’t cause them trouble for the time being.”
He had probably called him because of what had happened in the afternoon. He had heard everything. Ah Zhou, that brat, was watching the commotion and did not mind it getting out of hand. He had already repeated the scene to him by adding more details.
Huo Xiao glared at him and kicked him. “I want to ask you something else. What happened to Third Master Jun and Sheng Sheng?”
