Chapter 968: 100 Billion Yuan of Cash
The moment the cowardly Ling Sheng dodged, she looked toward him and threw all caution to the wind. Who was afraid of who? What was there to be afraid of? She would fight with him. “Dad, my mom said that she would bring me and Xiaoqi overseas.”
Things could not continue to be at a standstill. One side had to tip the balance first. The one who would tip the balance was not her father or mother, but her.
If her father and mother were said to be on the same scale, then she was the equilibrium of the weighing scale. If she stood in the middle, it would be balanced. If she moved slightly, one side would lose its balance.
“How dare you!” Huo Ci gritted his teeth in fury and pointed at her with a dangerous look in his eyes. “If you dare to leave with her, I’ll break your legs.”
“Let’s see if I dare!” Ling Sheng had a temper too. She had endured his harsh temper and violence for a week. She had had enough. “I’ll leave right now! I’ll go find my mom!”
Huo Ci was so angry that his chest heaved violently. He pointed at her and bellowed, “Get lost! Get lost now! If you leave, then don’t ever come back!”
Ling Sheng saw that he was still being stubborn. She knew that he did not mean what he said, but his foul mouth always spouted nasty stuff.
However, even if he had a tongue as sharp as a knife but a heart as soft as tofu, that was still a knife!
Whose body wouldn’t hurt when a knife sliced on them?!
Huo Ci turned around angrily and walked away. After taking two steps, he kicked the wall. All of them should leave! Beat it as far away as possible! He wouldn’t have to get angry and frustrated over her!
What kind of sin had he committed? Her mother had just pissed him off and left. Even his daughter had not let him have an easy time. The two of them mother-and-daughter had come specifically to jinx him!
Ling Sheng gnashed her teeth angrily as she packed her luggage. The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt. Tears streamed down her face.
She had chosen to stay and not look for her mother only because she felt that he was pitiful staying alone at home. Perhaps he would put himself through all kinds of torment like the last time, when he had even gotten his arm broken in the end.
Even a clay Bodhisattva had a temper, let alone someone like her who took after him in temperament.
When her phone rang, Ling Sheng hurriedly wiped her tears and answered the call. “Mom.”
“Sheng Sheng, where are you? Take Xiaoqi with you and come over to Mom’s place tonight.” Nangong Lengyu called her as soon as she got in the car. She looked up at the apartment building opposite her and asked seriously, “If… I’m only saying ‘if’. If I say that I want to take you and Xiaoqi overseas, are you willing?”
Upon hearing her voice, tears welled up in Ling Sheng’s eyes, and her throat felt choked up. She had not expected things to develop to this point, where they had fought till they reached such a situation. “Mom, can I think about it again?”
It was definitely impossible for her to go overseas. If she went overseas, the Third Master could follow her. However, Song Yiyan and Si Chengluo were still in the country, so her plan could not progress.
The more Huo Ci thought about it, the angrier he became. In the end, he turned around and returned. When he reached the entrance, he heard her talking on the phone with her mother. His handsome face darkened abruptly as he walked away again.
Is she thinking of leaving?
She’ll also have to take his permission into account.
Had he raised his daughter all this time for nothing?
“Mom, I understand.” Ling Sheng sniffled. “You don’t have to worry. My father’s temper is like that. Don’t stoop to his level. It’s not like you don’t know that he has a foul mouth.”
“Mom knows. I’ll start looking for a kindergarten in the next few days. Come to my house with Xiaoqi!” Nangong Lengyu made up her mind. She could not let Sheng Sheng and Xiaoqi follow that scumbag Huo Ci anymore.
“Okay.” Ling Sheng felt so wronged that she wanted to cry. She did not know when she had become so fragile either.
“You don’t have to worry about anything else. If you want to act in that movie ‘Brilliant’, Mom will settle it for you.” When Nangong Lengyu heard her daughter sobbing on the other end, her eyes reddened too.
When she hung up, Ling Sheng suddenly thought it through. There were many paths in life, so there was no need for her to stay here and watch out for someone’s mood to survive. Wasn’t it good to live happily? Why did she have to live so miserably?
When Huo Ci entered, he threw a card right in front of her and gave her a disdainful glance. “Why are you crying? How old are you to be crying?”
Ling Sheng raised her head with grief and indignation. Tears streamed down her face like pearls, but she did not make a single sound. She bit her lips and simply looked at him.
Huo Ci felt uncomfortable from head to toe, being stared at by her. He let out a low cough and pointed at the card. “The audition time and address are on there. Don’t be late.”
Ling Sheng frowned slightly and took a look. Upon seeing the interview time and location for the audition of ‘Brilliant’, she sobbed, “Didn’t you shelve me from the entertainment industry?”
Huo Ci said, “When did I say I wanted to shelve you? You’re quite good at imagining things. Wipe your tears away! Since I won’t let you act, are you planning to gang up with your mother and torment me to death?”
Ling Sheng said in a small voice, “How would I dare?”
How could he have the cheek to say that? Exactly who was tormenting who?! He had been the one throwing a tantrum this entire week, okay?!
“You don’t dare to? There’s nothing in this world that you don’t dare to do.” Huo Ci got angry again, and his tone became even more sarcastic. “You even dared to fake your pregnancy. What else do you not dare to do?”
Ling Sheng said, “We agreed not to dig up the past!”
Huo Ci gave her a grim laugh and left.
When Ling Sheng was dragging her luggage out…
Huo Ci, who was sitting on the sofa watching television, looked up at her. “Where are you going?”
She had already been given an opportunity to the audition. What else did she want?
“I’m going to my mom’s place. I told her I would be there tonight,” Ling Sheng answered him very calmly as she dragged her luggage out the door. “By the way, I’ll fetch Xiaoqi over later. It happens to be Saturday tomorrow. We’ll go over for two days.”
“If you want to go, go alone. Xiaoqi can’t leave me. He still has to attend an extracurricular class in six days.” Upon hearing that it was Saturday and that she was staying for two days, Huo Ci felt slightly relieved.
Humph, he could not let them go. If they left, he would not be able to get them back again. What would happen to his lonely self then?
Ling Sheng said, “I applied for leave for the extracurricular class.”
Huo Ci stood up with clothes in his hand. Everything was fine, but he definitely couldn’t give that little brat to them. “The supplementary class I signed him up for hasn’t ended yet.”
Ling Sheng took a look at her father. “Xiaoqi is my son!”
Huo Ci said arrogantly, “He’s my grandson too!”
In the end, Ling Sheng still lost the battle. She kept complaining that raising a son was useless. When she reached the kindergarten entrance and asked her son to make a choice, he chose her father!
Huo Ci, who had won, was very happy. He held Xiaoqi’s hand and walked home. Along the way, he bought all the fun items he laid his eyes on for Xiaoqi. When he reached the entrance of the district, his hands were full.
Upon seeing his grandpa finally reveal a smile, Xiaoqi grinned foolishly too. Grandpa had said that Xiaoqi could not leave. If Xiaoqi left, he would miss Xiaoqi and cry in the middle of the night. He would not be able to sleep.
The duo had just reached home and Huo Ci was about to show off his talent and cook for the little brat when he heard the doorbell ring. The little brat moved quite fast and had already started chatting with the visitor.
“Xiaoqi, where’s your grandpa? Get your grandpa to talk to Dad.” Jun Shiyan stood downstairs and smiled at his son.
Huo Ci’s face was cold and he only said one word as soon as he opened his mouth. “Scram!”
Jun Shiyan hung a humble smile on his face. “Father-in-law, I heard from my mother-in-law that Sheng Sheng needs to pay 100 billion yuan in cash to terminate her contract with your company. I’ve already raised the money. Shall I move it upstairs for you right now?”
Huo Ci ran to the window and looked down. A fleet of military vehicles was parked downstairs. They were protected by the accompanying special forces soldiers armed with live ammunition. When he looked further out, he saw a long line of vehicles. He did not even know exactly how many there were.
