Huo Ci sat not far away from them, his long legs resting on the table as he played his game. Xiaoqi sat obediently beside him, munching on melon seeds. Occasionally, he would take a melon seed covered in saliva and feed it to Huo Ci.
However, the two of them were paying attention to Ling Sheng!
She was pretty to begin with, so when she spoke, she was even more elegant and outstanding, full of confidence, as though she was glowing from head to toe.
Huo Ci’s lips curled up in satisfaction, the bottom of his eyes full of pride that even he himself was unaware of. This brat was really impressive, huh!
He did not know where those stupid women had gotten their confidence from, but they just had to provoke her. She was Huo Ci’s daughter! How could they even compare!
Did they know what it meant by ‘a firefly competing with the sun and moon’? They were the exact meaning of this. They were simply overestimating their capabilities and embarrassing themselves!
Both of Xiaoqi’s eyes sparkled brightly with adoration and joy as he applauded in his heart. Mommy is incredible! Mommy is really impressive! Mommy is the best!
“Old Master, the respective masters, dinner is ready. Old Madam has asked us to start eating.” The butler, Uncle Liu, walked forward and called for them to eat.
Before the others could speak, Huo Ci spoke slowly, “Uncle Liu, tell my mother to slow down in the kitchen. I want to wait for someone.”
Uncle Liu was baffled. He took a look at the other masters, especially Huo Xiao.
Huo Xiao got angry when he looked at him. “Who are you waiting for? It’s already so late. If you’re going to wait, and eat.”
Huo Ci smiled and said, “Father, don’t be angry. We’re not waiting for an outsider anyway. He’s my son-in-law, your grandson-in-law.”
Xiaoqi’s eyes lit up abruptly as he looked at Grandpa. Was Uncle Jun coming? Was Uncle Jun coming to the house?
Upon hearing this, Huo Xiao glared at him ferociously. That scumbag! Jun Shiyan was coming over, but he had not even discussed it with him.
When the other men in the house heard him mention his son-in-law, they looked at one another speechlessly. At the same time, they looked at him with confusion in their eyes. Where had he gotten this son-in-law? Where did he come from?
“Old Master.” Uncle Liu called out again. He was waiting to bring word back to the kitchen!
Huo Xiao had been unhappy the whole day because he was worried about this matter! He had not expected this scumbag to make the decision to bring him over on his own. However, since he had called him over, so be it. His words were full of confidence and happiness. “Since my dear granddaughter’s boyfriend is coming over, listen to him. Let the kitchen wait for a while. Inform the Old Madam.”
“Sixth Brother, when did Sheng Sheng get a boyfriend?” Fifth Brother Huo Pei wondered if he had randomly found a man to shut up the people in the family.
“Is he Xiaoqi’s father?” Huo Li also asked.
“It’s none of your d*mn business.” Huo Ci was still playing games. His words were not polite, and he directly criticized them.
Huo Pei and Huo Li had courted a rebuff and had a bellyful of anger. What was he being so arrogant for? What kind of admirable person would be willing to be his son-in-law? Did he think his daughter was all that great?
Huo Ji was smart, so he did not ask Huo Ci directly. He looked at the Old Master and asked, “Father, do you know Sheng Sheng’s boyfriend too?”
Huo Xiao thought, When he arrives later, you guys will immediately shut your mouths! He shook his head. “How would I know?”
Huo Ji: …
The people on both sides got the cold shoulder. It was fine if only Huo Ci did not say anything, but Huo Xiao obviously knew. However, the fact that he was not mentioning him as well caused them to start getting suspicious.
Exactly who was this son-in-law whom Sixth Brother had mentioned? Judging by the Old Master’s expression, he should be satisfied. There were not many people in this vast country that could catch his eye.
Ling Sheng and the others were still chatting on the other side, not knowing what had happened on the men’s end.
Huo Xuanzhou brought them a plate of mini desserts and looked at them. “We’ll be starting a little later for dinner. If you guys are hungry, eat something first.”
Ye Hui asked, “What’s going on? Wasn’t it announced that we could start having dinner already?”
Huo Xuanzhou smiled and said, “It’s nothing serious. We just have to wait for someone.”
Cao Yunxian frowned. The Old Master hated waiting for people the most. Who on earth was so ‘important’ that he could make the whole family wait for him? “Who are you waiting for?”
Huo Xuanzhou looked at Ling Sheng and shot her a meaningful look, looking a little arrogant and pleased. “My Sixth Uncle said that Sheng Sheng’s boyfriend is visiting today.”
There would be a good show later.
Sheng Sheng’s man was Jun Shiyan, the famous Third Master Jun!
Ling Sheng took a small biscuit to eat, but before she could swallow it, she nearly choked. She covered her mouth and coughed softly.
What madness was that?
Her boyfriend was coming?
Why did she not know?!
Huo Xuanzhou laughed gloatingly as he looked at her but he still passed her a glass of water. “Why are you in such a hurry to eat? There’s plenty of food.”
He knew it. She did not know that Sixth Uncle had called him over!
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru could not take it anymore. She had a boyfriend, yet she still let them introduce blind dates to her. She was messing with them! “Sheng Sheng, you have a boyfriend, yet you let us arrange blind dates in a flurry for you?”
aLing Sheng smiled apologetically, “My father doesn’t agree. We’re not together. I’m really sorry. Sorry, aunts.”
Was she the one who brought up the blind dates?
No!
Did she insist on going on blind dates?
Again, no!
They were really hilarious. If they had not been pressured by her grandpa, who knows what kinds of demons and ghosts they would have introduced to her! They would probably all be outrageous fools like Yi Jingwei and Yun Song!
Ling Sheng’s attitude was very good, but Ye Ru and the others were still angry. They went to find Huo Ci and Huo Xiao directly. She already had a boyfriend, yet he still wanted them to introduce her to a blind date partner. They were deliberately messing with them!
“Sixth Brother, what do you mean by that?” Xiao Hui was the first to speak. She was quite pissed, and her face had even turned green. “Sheng Sheng already has a boyfriend. Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
“That’s right. We were so busy helping to find people and help out with the blind dates. Aren’t you just fooling around with us?” Cao Yunxian was also furious. “Father, you be the judge. Is this how he does things?”
Huo Ci was baffled, but he immediately declared his lack of involvement in this matter. “I never said that I wanted you guys to matchmake her. I’ve already said that I don’t like anyone. Aren’t you the ones who were utterly eager to find people for blind date?”
Cao Yunxian and the others were rebuffed by his single speech. It was as though it was all their fault for setting up blind dates. “Sixth Brother, humans should have a conscience. Aren’t we doing this for your daughter’s sake too? If it were someone else, we wouldn’t have done such a thankless thing even out of boredom!”
Huo Ci frowned, his eyes full of mockery. “Exactly. Weren’t you simply bored?”
Xiaoqi was still holding a grudge. Upon seeing the few women walk over, he clenched his fists angrily and glared at them. They were all bad people. They were evil women who even bullied small dogs!
“What are you people arguing about? I asked for the blind dates. But what kind of repulsive characters did you introduce?” Huo Xiao interrupted them and frowned. “None of them were presentable.”
As long as they found someone whom he liked, that scumbag Jun Shiyan would not get the chance to show off!
