“Yes, I know too.” Ling Sheng smiled at her, her heart feeling warm. How could she not know that she was doing this for her own good?
“Let me take you home. It’s already this late.” Su Yi patted her head lovingly and said with a smile.
She had initially wanted to return to the company after the event ended but Sheng Sheng had sent her a message to come over. She had initially been puzzled about what she wanted to do, but when she came, she realized that she was creating an opportunity for the Movie King and Queen!
Ling Sheng nodded. “Yes, let’s go home!”
When she passed by the milk tea shop, Ling Sheng got out of the car and bought a few cups of milk tea. She gave one to Su Yi and one to her assistant, Xiao Chen, and was bringing the rest home. Her father liked milk tea quite a lot, and so did her grandpa. However, grandpa was not at home now. He was at the Huo Family’s old residence.
In the Huo Family’s old residence, Huo Xiao had not calmed down for the whole afternoon. Now, he was so angry that he threw his phone again. His face was ashen. “That scumbag! How dare he not answer my call?”
Su Xiyin sighed helplessly beside him and got the servant to pick up the phone. The screen had been smashed. Ever since he had seen the hottest search topic on Weibo, he had become angry.
However, when he saw the Weibo about Ci Er and that child Nangong, he did not get particularly angry yet. Instead, he simply let loose a few curses.
Her husband was right. Ci Er was a scumbag. If he had not caused trouble back then, he would have a wife and children in his arms at this moment. How nice would that have been!
He had been so angry because he had seen Third Master Jun’s Weibo post later on, saying that Xiaoqi was his son. That was why he had gotten angry and called Ci Er to ask what had happened!
“Father, who angered you again?” Fifth Brother Huo Pei’s wife, Cao Yunxian, was the most troublesome among her daughters-in-law. She walked over and asked with a smile.
The look in Su Xiyin’s eyes changed slightly. “Fifth daughter-in-law, why aren’t you asleep at this time yet?”
“Mother, aren’t you and Father not asleep yet either? How can a junior like me sleep first?” Cao Yunxian was very good at talking. When she went over, she swept a look at the phone and saw that he was calling Huo Ci. She tried to persuade him. “Father, what did Sixth Brother do to make you unhappy again?”
Su Xiyin frowned slightly. She was not fond of her, but she could not show it on the surface. Her fifth son’s wife was the best at causing trouble and coaxing others. She was the most glib person. “Fifth Daughter-in-Law, your father and I will take care of Sixth Brother’s matter!”
“Why? Mother’s heart aches again? I know that Sixth Brother is your heart’s flesh and blood, but I’m not the one who’s being naggy. Sixth Brother’s way of doing things is too immature.” Cao Yunxian let out a cold snort in her heart. She did not like this mother-in-law to begin with. None of the wives at home liked her. She really treated herself as an owner of the house just because she was Number Five’s mistress.
How could Huo Xiao not hear this weird tone? His attitude toward his daughters-in-law was different from his attitude toward his sons. He informed her to leave. “Go back to your room and call my fifth son out.”
Cao Yunxian could not be dismissed with a few words. She had already gotten a phone from the female helper. Upon hearing the robotic female voice, she pretended to be surprised and said, “Father, Sixth Brother has blacklisted you. Even if you call him again, he won’t be able to answer.”
There were many sons and grandsons at home, but the old man only cared about Sixth Brother. Now, it was great; he had even said that Sixth Brother had found his long-lost daughter, who was about to return to the family registry!
Long-lost daughter? He probably had not known about his daughter’s existence from the start. Who did not know how preposterous and profligate Sixth Brother had been when he was young? He might have left behind many offspring!
