Chapter 799: Status Symbol (3)
“What happened?” Huo Li had gone to the washroom. When he came out, he saw his wife arguing with his father. He frowned and walked forward, looking at her unhappily as he lectured her. “Why are you angering our father again?”
“Hubby, I’m not trying to anger your father. Do you still remember? Didn’t your father personally say himself that he would let Feifei stay in this room last year?” Upon seeing her husband arrive, Xiao Hui tried to pull him to her side and reason with him.
“What is it about Feifei staying or not? The whole Huo Family belongs to Father. He can let whoever he wants live here.” Huo Li had been begging the Old Master for the past few days to let him take over the jewelry business owned by the Huo Family. How could he have the guts to offend him?
Besides, the Old Master had always been the person with the most authority in this family. The Old Master had always been a man of his word as well. So what if he regretted it and retracted his words? No one would dare offend him.
“Hubby, you’re right. It’s my fault.” Although Xiao Hui said that, she gritted her teeth in hatred inwardly. She wanted to see exactly how impressive that b*stard from Sixth Brother’s family was. She smiled and said, “I heard Sixth Brother came back with his daughter. Where’s she? Why hasn’t he come out to let us meet him?”
Ling Sheng was standing right at the door. The voices outside were quite loud, and the door was not closed tightly either. She could hear their conversation clearly.
The door was knocked twice. When it was pushed open, she pretended to walk out of the dressing room. She looked at the woman in front of her and nodded politely with a smile.
Grandpa had just said that Fourth Brother’s wife, the so-called Fourth Uncle Huo’s wife, was called Xiao Hui. Her family was not a well-known big family. She had used some means to enter the Huo Family back then, so she looked quite petty.
Ling Sheng had heard from her grandma that the Huo Feifei she mentioned was the daughter of her Fourth Aunt’s brother. There were no girls in the Huo Family, so she had brought her niece over to live with her. She had wanted to make Grandpa happy, so she had even changed her surname and transferred the household register to the couple’s name. She had become their daughter and changed her mind.
However, she did not know what she had done wrong. Grandpa had never liked her. He had said that she was scheming and not pure.
“Oh, you’re Sixth Brother’s daughter, right? I’m your Fourth Aunt.” Xiao Hui knew her. Wasn’t she the celebrity who had been involved in Sixth Brother’s scandal?
So this was the b*stard the Old Master had been longing for. One look at his face and one could tell that he was not easy to deal with!
“Hi, Fourth Aunt.” Ling Sheng greeted her with a smile.
Upon hearing that someone had come, Xiaoqi ran out of the study. When he reached Ling Sheng, he called her Mommy and Huo Xiao great-grandpa.
Xiao Hui’s expression changed again and again, and she could not help but laugh coldly in her heart. This young girl was not simple. The Old Master had only said that he would bring her back, but he had not said anything else. They did not know who she was or what was going on either. She smiled and asked Ling Sheng, “Is he your son?”
Ling Sheng nodded and asked Xiaoqi to call for help.
Xiaoqi greeted her obediently and called for help. He stood beside Ling Sheng timidly, holding her hand and looking at the person in front of him quietly.
In order to verify her thoughts, Xiao Hui said, “Why are the two of you here? Shouldn’t the child’s father be here with you? This is his first time home to meet his parents and acknowledge his roots. How can he not come?”
Ling Sheng’s expression changed slightly, and she could not help but laugh coldly in her heart. The scheming was about to start. One could tell from her words that she was finding fault.
However, before Ling Sheng could speak, Huo Xiao let out an angry snort. “Do you think my granddaughter can’t live without a man like you?”
Xiao Hui hurriedly said, “Father, you’ve misunderstood. How could I think that? Don’t say anything if it’s not easy to say.”
