Chapter 523
If not for the sudden sight of the three children.
“Baby ……” She saw Huo Yin and Mo Bao, and at once, after a brightness in those dull eyes, she immediately knelt down towards the ground, like some kind of animal, and crawled over quickly.
The long life in the underground palace had made her even begin to deteriorate in her ability to walk.
She preferred to crawl on the floor.
The two children had never seen such a scene, and in a flash, even though they were both bold and clever, they were scared on the spot and cried out.
“Daddy, Mummy, help -”
“Wha…”
The earth-shattering cries spread through the courtyard, as if the sky was about to collapse.
When Huo Sijiu rushed out from the room upstairs, the bottom was already in complete chaos, and his sister Huo Sixing had long since gone to hide somewhere.
The three children, chased by their grandmother who was crawling fast on the floor, were also screaming loudly in fear, their tiny faces so white that they were not even half-blooded.
What was all this about?
Where are those people in the house?
He rushed to the courtyard and picked up his daughter, who had been chased to the ground, first.
“Xiao Fuli, what are you doing? These are your grandchildren, are you trying to scare them out of their wits like that?” He shouted in anger, staring at Xiao Fuli who was still chasing her on the ground.
Xiao Fuli, who was crawling: “……”
Angry?
Oh no, brother Ying is angry, he’s blaming her for scaring the baby, what should I do?
She finally stopped and looked up carefully at the man standing in front of her with an iron face, deflating her mouth in aggression.
“Lily was wrong, brother Ying don’t be angry, Lily won’t dare to do it again.”
She timidly stretched out her hands, actually letting Huo Sijiu punish her.
Huo Sijiu: “……”
For just a moment, after something clogged in his throat, he couldn’t say any more words.
Brother Ying?
Was it his biological father that she was calling?
In that case, she had just chased after these children, taking her two sons, who looked like him, for him as a young boy? And then, as if in the underground palace, she wanted to hug them again?
Huo Sijiu sighed helplessly.
Bringing his two terrified sons over as well, he led them to squat down in front of this crazy woman.
“MoMo, YinYin, don’t be afraid, listen to daddy, she, is not some monster, she is your grandmother.” He pointed at the woman and patiently explained to the three children.
Grandma?
All of a sudden, when the few little ones heard this, an extremely shocked expression appeared on their still stunned little faces.
Especially Huo Yin, who grew up in the Huo family and knew about the Huo family, couldn’t help but ask immediately after hearing this, “Didn’t grandma die? How come there’s another grandmother?”
“Well, that’s also a grandmother, but this one, is the one who gave birth to your daddy, so you have to respect her more, understand?”
Huo Sijiu deliberately admonished.
And in reality, from the moment he confirmed his birth, he had already accepted that this woman was his biological mother, crazy or not, it was no good to see her again.
Their biological relationship, it could not be changed.
The children finally quieted down, and then they began to take a closer look at the new grandmother who had emerged.
They found that the grandmother, who had sat on the ground and watched them after she stopped chasing them, was actually a very good-looking grandmother. She had big eyes, arched eyebrows, and very clear skin, and was obviously so old, but she looked like sheep’s jade.
“Brother, grandma is very good looking.”
Little Ruo Ruo was the first to drop her guard, and after looking at her grandmother, her big eyes flashed and she immediately praised her without mincing words.
Xiao Fuli didn’t understand what the child meant.
However, after seeing her talking to herself, she also liked her very much, so she showed her teeth and smiled, and at once the light in the courtyard seemed to brighten up a lot.
Xiao Fuli was, indeed, beautiful.
And a large part of the reason why Huo Sijiu’s features were so delicate was because she had inherited them from her.
After talking to the children, they didn’t fear their grandmother any more and played with her for the rest of the day.
And what about xiao Fuli?
She chased after the children precisely because she thought of Mo Bao and Huo Yin as her own children. Seeing that they no longer resisted her made her happier, and she played with them as if she were a child.
Only Huo Sixing, still hiding in the building, occasionally peeked her head through the doorway to stare at them sulkily.
Huo Sijie ignored her.
But when Sister Wang and Wen Jin, who had gone outside to carry Xiao Fuli’s luggage, saw her, they twitched a little: “Missy, why are you hiding here? You’re not going to play with them?”
“I’m not going, she’s crazy, I’m not going to play with her.”
She pointed to xiao Fuli who was running after the children in the yard.
Sister Wang: “……”
Wen Jin: “……”
In the end, it was Wen Jin who was kind-hearted and coaxed her out, “Then if we don’t play with her, let’s go help in the kitchen, Sister Wang has bought a lot of delicious food back.”
“Okay.”
This time Huo Si Xing happily agreed.
Then, following the two of them, they went to the kitchen.
Chapter 524
It wasn’t long before Wen Shuxu, who had gone out to buy offerings, also returned, carrying a large bag of folded Yuan Bao candles, a roast chicken that someone else had made, and a pig’s tail, two large bags full of them, into the kitchen.
Sister Wang: “Buying so much, huh? There’s no more roast chicken and pig’s tail, madam, how do you know all this?”
“Huh?”
Wen Shuxu suddenly looked slightly changed.
“I …… I don’t know yet, I asked this boss who sells yuanbao candles and he told me.”
“So it’s like that, I just said it, you’re a little girl, your parents didn’t teach you when you were a kid, how would you know this?”
Only then did it dawn on Sister Wang.
These things, indeed, were impossible for ordinary people to know, only those who had worshipped would understand, and, taking the pig’s tail, these were the kind of things that only people from ordinary families would use.
If it was someone like the Huo family, they would definitely want a full-blown roasted suckling pig.
However, since it was the owner who ran the scented candle shop who said that, it was no wonder that she did.
Sister Wang neatly put all these things in order.
When Wen Shuxu saw her fiddling with it again, she didn’t bother anymore, but washed her hands and she went upstairs.
“Honey, where are you? I’m back.”
Her soft voice rang out from the first floor with a hint of delicacy that tickled the heart.
Huo Sijiu would be on the phone in his bedroom, it was Qiao Shiqian who called, he also knew about Wen Shuxu having returned, so he put in a call this evening.
“Now that what I have to do on my end is done, it’s your turn now, right?”
“Don’t worry, if I said today, then I will give it to you.”
Huo Siqian listened to this delicate and soft voice calling out to him outside and had long since lost the heart to toss this matter around with him and agreed straight away.
Qiao Shiqian was immediately overjoyed: “Then when will you give it? I’m going to hold a press conference the day after tomorrow, when I need to announce the breakdown of all Huo’s shares to the public.”
What he meant was that he wanted to use them to convince the public.
To prove that he, who had been rumoured to have robbed Huo’s all this time, had inherited it in name only.
Huo Sijiu gave a cold laugh, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely give it to you before you announce it.”
Then, he hung up the phone straight away.
Wen Shuxu arrived at the bedroom door just at this time and heard the last thing he said as she came in.
“You really decided to give to the old man the inheritance that he left you?”
“Well, these things, originally belonged to him as well.”
Huo Siji nodded very calmly.
After yesterday’s incident, he did look away now, the old man should have really wanted to leave this 35% share to him, but in hindsight, he felt that he should return this Qiao Shiqian.
Because, Qiao Shiqian, was his real son, Huo Yanying.
