200 STRUCK BY TRIBULATION LIGHTNING (2/2)
”Grandpa Huo, this is my husband, Zhong Feng.” Her cheeks flushed but her pride was obvious.
Zhong Feng bowed with respect toward the elder. His expression was hidden, so Elder Huo could not figure out what the brat was thinking. But he got the sense that he was as cunning as his grandfather.
”Thank you for taking care of my family's Xiao Lei. I apologise if she has caused a lot of disturbance.” Zhong Feng spoke suddenly.
Hu Lei japed her elbow into his abdomen. Did he think that she could cause trouble? She was obviously a delight to everyone she graced with her presence.
”Oh no, it is no trouble. She has been helpful. I consider her to be my granddaughter.” The old man got annoyed at the tone of the brat. It was like he was declaring that Hu Lei only belonged to his family. How could he bear to hear that?
Zhong Feng lifted an amused and mysterious brow at the old man. There was something in his eyes which aid that he knew more than he was letting on. At least, that is what Elder Huo felt as he faced the younger man. He coughed at the annoying knowing look. For some reason, this unwanted grandson-in-law seemed even more powerful than his fox grandfather.
”My grandfather is enjoying your tea immensely. He said that he must drop in to check on the great master behind it.” Zhong Feng continued as if he did not see the grandpa's discomfort.
With those words, a thousand arrows pierced the good elder's heart.
He felt like that the Zhong family had been placed in the world to torment him. But this time, it was just too much. It was even worse than when he and the old fox were young, fighting over a girl they both loved.
This time, he had lost even before the battle begun.
”I will be waiting for him.” He responded with clenched teeth.
Hu Lei could that there was something happening beneath the surface, but she could not figure it out. Her head tilted mulling over the conversation. She could not find anything amiss, so she looked at Zhong Feng in question. He smiled and rubbed her head softly.
She felt like biting him. But she could only wait until they were alone.
”Grandpa, we are leaving now. I will come visit you again when I have time. But I will be busy for a while. Take care of yourself.” Hu Lei said with a smile.
In the end, Elder Huo could only watch a wolf usher his cute granddaughter out of his shop. There was a grudge in his heart, but he also knew that he was to blame for how things were. If he had not been at odds with his son, if he had not been uncompromising, if he had been able to teach his son well, he might have known this wonderful girl.
But what could his regrets do?
