Chapter 891: Leave for a While

Huo Ci and Jun Shiyan instinctively got up to welcome him.

Huo Xiao shot them a cold look. “Sit properly. Where are you going?”

Jun Shiyan let out a low cough and nodded politely at Nangong Lun before calling him Uncle Nangong.

No matter what, Huo Ci was still a junior. He ignored Huo Xiao’s warning and continued to act like he didn’t care about anything. He looked at him and smiled. “Uncle Nangong, welcome, welcome. What wind blew you here?”

Nangong Lun had not expected that after more than 20 years, the man in front of him had not changed at all. Back when he had first visited him, he remembered that he had also been like this. He had thought that this child was not good enough and was not worthy of Yu’er back then.

However, the marriage had been personally arranged by his wife. He could not bear to disappoint her soul in heaven, nor could he disrespect his old friend’s feelings. Thus, he tacitly agreed to let the two of them interact on their own. If they could get together, so be it. But it would be best if they did not end up together.

Reality had proven that his first evaluation of him had been right. Huo Ci was frivolous and amorous. All women were nothing to him. He would not stop in his tracks for anyone.

In the end, Yu’er left China heartbroken while carrying a child and vowed never to step foot in China again. His heart ached for his daughter, and he wanted to sever the last connection between them so he got rid of the child. What was wrong with that?

In the past, Huo Xiao had always felt that he had let his old friend down. It was all their Huo Family’s fault. They had let down the young lady. It was all his son’s fault for breaking the lady’s heart.

However, ever since he had found out that Ling Sheng was Yu’er and his son’s daughter, and the reason she had been left to wander outside was because of what this old man had done… The guilt in his heart had completely dissipated, replaced by rage!

“Elder Brother Huo, Sister-in-law.” Nangong Lun was ten years younger than Huo Xiao. He had to call him Elder Brother when they met. Before the incident, the two families had been long-time friends and had a good relationship.

Huo Xiao let out a cold snort and did not show him a pleasant attitude. “Why did you come all the way here?”

Su Xiyin nodded slightly and hummed in a complete lack of enthusiasm as well. Upon hearing her husband’s sarcastic tone, she even bumped him to ‘tell’ him to speak nicely.

Huo Xiao did not speak, but Nangong Lun did not sit down either. After all, he was a guest. He only stood by the side and glanced at the child sitting beside Ling Sheng. He was a pretty, smart-looking child who looked a little like Little Mo when he was young.

He had heard from Old Li that the child’s father was unknown. The lady had gotten pregnant due to an accident and had given birth to a child. Her fate had been rough too.

Nangong Lun did not sit. Huo Ci and Jun Shiyan, the two juniors, also stood with him. It was illogical for them to sit since their elder was standing.

Ling Sheng had not taken another look at him from the start to the end. Who was acting out a deep relationship between a grandfather and a granddaughter? She didn’t know who this guy was!

She could clearly feel that the old man, who had entered, did not feel any guilt toward her. There was only some kind of foreign pity that made her heart feel cold.

Yes, he felt pity for her. How laughable was that? She was no one else but his daughter’s biological daughter. She was the child he had personally ordered to be sent away. She found it unbelievable that he would show such an expression to her.

His gaze told her that he was still stubbornly holding on to what he thought was the right decision. In his heart, he had not done anything wrong by sending her away and making her leave her mother as soon as she was born.

However, when he looked at Xiaoqi, his eyes softened a little. Perhaps people liked children when they got old, especially children who were related to them by blood.

In the end, Su Xiyin was the one who spoke. “Why are you standing? Sit. What do you want to drink?”

Since he was a guest, they could not keep him standing.

Nangong Lun sat down, and Uncle Liu came forward to ask him what he wanted to drink. He only said in a low voice, “Plain water will do. Thank you.”

Upon seeing him sit down, Jun Shiyan and Huo Ci also sat down.

Huo Xiao took a sip of tea and looked at him. “Why? After so many years, you remembered that you have an older brother like me and came to see me?”

Nangong Lun smiled politely and looked at Ling Sheng and the others. “Brother Huo, I’m here to discuss something important. Can you get them to leave?”

Huo Xiao added, “We’re all family. Why should they leave? Just say what you want to say!”

Ling Sheng felt that although the conversation between the big shots seemed peaceful, there was actually a profound, hidden meaning behind every word.

In the end, Nangong Lun was still concerned about their past friendship. He didn’t think it was good to easily shed all pretense of cordiality. Although everyone knew that no matter how strong the friendship had been, after experiencing such a thing and after such a long period of time had passed, there probably wasn’t much feelings left between them. “There are some words that will affect the child negatively.”

Huo Xiao wanted to persist, but Huo Ci had already spoken. He looked at Ling Sheng’s family of three and said, “Sheng Sheng, you and Third Old Jun should take Xiaoqi back to the house first!”

Ling Sheng did not want to hear it in the first place. She could guess that he had definitely come for her. However, she did not know if he wanted her to not appear in front of her mother in the future or if he wanted to take her away for her mother.

No matter what, it had to be one of the two.

Jun Shiyan carried Xiaoqi while Ling Sheng followed beside him. The family of three greeted them before going upstairs to their room.

Nangong Lun took a deep look at Jun Shiyan’s back view. He had not interacted much with Ah Yan, but he knew that he was a good child.

Had they still gotten together in the end?

It seemed like there was God’s will and the heavens had arranged everything.

When Yu’er was pregnant, she had often said that she wanted to make the baby in her stomach his future wife. After going around in circles, what was his was still his.

Within this ill-fated destiny, he had become the only positive narrative.

When they reached the room and closed the door, Ling Sheng asked Jun Shiyan, “Does my mother know he’s coming?”

She did not like him at all. There was no affinity within first look. Especially when he looked at her with pity and sympathy!

She did not need his sympathy! If she wanted to find the culprit for all the hardships the original owner had gone through in the past, it would be him!

“She hasn’t gotten off the plane yet,” Jun Shiyan shook his head. It was obviously impossible for her to know. Sister Yu was still on the plane now. It took eight hours to fly back home from China.

“My mother went home, but he came over. Did he do it on purpose? Did he specially pick this time to avoid her?” When Ling Sheng mentioned Nangong Lun, her tone was displeased. “Third Master, why do you think he came?”

She felt that he had definitely done it on purpose. He had not been willing to bump into her mother. He had definitely come at this time for another reason.

“I don’t know why he’s here, but he dotes on Sister Yu a lot.” Jun Shiyan knew that although his character was more inflexible, he cared and doted on Sister Yu the most.
