Chapter 1006 - Turning into Old Mature Vinegar (1/2)

When Ling Sheng beat Dongfang Fan, the people who were angriest about it weren’t her Peanuts, but Nangong Lengyu’s Cold Palace fans and Huo Ci’s Little Cis. Both sides were extremely protective of her.

In front of outsiders, they definitely wouldn’t say a bad word about her. They swore to protect her with their lives. What nonsense are they spewing? My daughter isn’t in the wrong. Doesn’t a grown man who couldn’t even beat a girl feel ashamed to say anything?

Besides, you’re a full-grown man. Why are you bullying a woman? My daughter couldn’t take it anymore and wanted to save her. Moreover, you attacked first. You deserve to be beaten up.

However, the onlookers didn’t care about such stuff or what the truth was in the video, especially some anti-fans. Even if the other party had attacked first, you shouldn’t beat the hell out of him. Since you beat someone up so badly, it would be considered assault.

After Dongfang Fan posted on Weibo to clarify the matter, regardless of whether the netizens supported Ling Sheng or not, or those who criticized her, the commotion all died down. The trending topic had long been removed too. If people didn’t search online, they would not see the relevant news.

The incident of Ling Sheng beating someone up had only lasted two days. During this period, there were even people stirring up chaos. Together with the tens of thousands of He Sha fans in China, they tried to remove Ling Sheng from the filming crew of ‘Brilliant’. After all, on the day after ‘Brilliant’ had announced the female lead, the incident of Ling Sheng assaulting someone appeared.

He Sha was a hero in the hearts of the Chinese citizens. Be it her achievements or charisma, she was the people’s object of worship. They definitely couldn’t let an actor with a problematic moral character act as her. However, no matter how they tried to object or say anything, this matter was left unsettled in the end. People even snarked about how impressive she was because she had a strong background.

The day that the filming crew’s relevant actors and actresses would attend the national team’s training had already been finalized. It was on the 20th of February and would last 10 days. They would start entering the set for filming at the end of February and early March.

As soon as Ling Sheng returned home and opened the door, she saw Huo Xiao sitting on the sofa with a scowl on his face. He had not switched on the television nor was he looking at his phone. Upon seeing her return, he only swept a glance over her but didn’t even speak to her.

Normally, this shouldn’t be the case. Every time she came back, Grandpa would be very happy. However, he seemed to be angry today!

She changed her shoes and ran over to sit beside him. “Grandpa, what’s wrong? Who made you angry? I’ll seek revenge for you.”

Huo Xiao took a look at his dear grandchild but he still felt unhappy. He sighed and said, “Sheng Sheng, help Grandpa talk to your grandma.”

“Talk to Grandma about what? What happened to Grandma?” Ling Sheng was baffled. Had he quarreled with Grandma?

It couldn’t be. Grandpa doted on Grandma the most. Apart from the last time Grandma had binge-watched Senior Sheng’s television series and Grandpa had gotten angry and jealous, the two of them never really had any conflicts.

Speaking of which, that incident was hilarious. Grandpa had filled the bedroom with posters of his younger self and forced Grandma to choose who was handsome. Grandma had said that this was the first time she had seen Grandpa act so jealous. As he aged, he truly was getting more childish.

Although Grandma sounded utterly disdainful, bliss and happiness were written all over her body.

In the end, after Grandma had finished watching the television series, she never mentioned Sheng Xichen again. On the other hand, the wedding photo and self-portrait that Grandpa had hung at the head of the bed in the bedroom were still there!

Grandma didn’t really like to hang things on the wall. She liked to leave it empty for a refreshing feel. There had never been a photo hung in the Huo Family’s old residence either. She always said that they were already so old, so why would they still fuss around with such bells and whistles?
