The sight of them made Huo Ciâs nose feel a little sore, and his eyes widened miserably. âI have to get up early tomorrow to catch a plane. Iâm going to bed.â
When he was done bathing, he saw the three of them still chatting on the sofa.
âMother, Ling Sheng has to join the film crew this morning and Xiao Qi has to go to school. Canât we talk another day?â Huo Ci frowned.
âYou still dare to talk about my family. If youâd told me earlier, would I only have found out now? Wait and see, your father will skin you alive.â Su Xiyin gave him a look of feigned anger.
Huo Ci said, âDonât tell Dad about this for now. Iâll tell him personally when I get back from filming.â
Otherwise, if he could not film the scene, he would be called back to be reprimanded.
âOkay, got it.â Su Xiyin had a granddaughter, but her son was like a weed. âThen you have to hurry up. I wonât be able to hide it for long.â
âCanât you go home? If you come here every day, Father will naturally suspect something.â
âYou make it sound simple, but what about Xiao Qi and Sheng Sheng? Whoâs taking Xiao Qi to kindergarten? Whoâs cooking for Sheng Sheng? You?â
âOkay, I was wrong. Can you help me hide it for a week?â
âI will, just go and sleep.â Su Xiyin looked impatient.
Ling Sheng smiled like a little fox. She hugged Su Xiyin and kissed her profusely. âGrandma.â
Su Xiyinâs face was stretched wide by her smile as she said gently, âSheng Sheng, can grandma sleep with Xiao Qi and you today? Grandma has a big bed.â
âOkay.â Ling Sheng learned from her, as she was indeed very gentle.
She liked this grandma a lot. Her body was fragrant, and her words were like water. She was gentle even when scolding others.
âGreat-grandmother, are you really my great-grandmother?â Xiao Qiâs big eyes stared at her seriously.
He liked his great-grandmother so much.
âOf course, itâs true. How can a great-grandmother be fake?â Su Xiyin went over to give the little child a kiss, her heart melting into a puddle of water.
She had thought he was her daughter-in-lawâs son.
This had turned out to be a big joke. They were her granddaughter and great-grandson.
The next morning, Ling Sheng opened her eyes, only to realize she was having a splitting headache. She stretched her back in distress when she saw someone open the door and smile. âSheng Sheng, wake up for breakfast.â
âAuntie.â Ling Sheng sat up in pain with a frown.
Auntie hadnât left yesterday?
âAuntie? Iâm Grandma.â Su Xiyin did not know whether to laugh or cry. âMy head doesnât hurt. I forgot, didnât I? Donât go out with your father in the future, you insensible scumbag. How could he let you drink so much?â
Ling Sheng was taken aback, so it took her a while to react before she stuttered, âYou... You know?â
âI was afraid Xiao Qi would be alone at home yesterday, so I didnât go home. Otherwise, how long did the two of you intend to hide this from me?â Su Xiyin carried the hangover soup over and handed it to her. âDrink this first.â
Ling Shengâs mind went blank.
What had happened yesterday?
What had she done yesterday?
Hadnât she been with Jun Shiyan?
Why had she been brought back home by her stingy father?
The Auntie in front of her was not her Auntie, but Huo Ciâs mother? Her grandma?
Chaos!
While she was washing up, Ling Xiao Qi told her briefly what had happened yesterday.
It was only then that Ling Sheng had a vague notion of what seemed to be the real facts.
Huo Ci left before the sun rose, saying he was there to catch the plane.
Ling Sheng was baffled. Her stingy father was filming a movie in the desert northwest!
