Chapter 898 - Promising Young Man Worth Teaching (1/2)

“I understand.” Ling Sheng thought that made sense too. She turned around to chase after Jun Shiyan and Xiaoqi to the car behind them.

Huo Ci gave her a sideways look, his eyebrows raised slightly as he opened the car door. With a look as though he had seen through her, he stopped her. “Where are you going? Sit here!”

“Sit beside me!” Huo Xuanzhou popped his head out, grinned and threw a flying wink as he waved at Ling Sheng. He smiled gloatingly. She wanted to be alone with Third Master Jun? In her dreams!

When Ling Sheng got into the car, she pinched him viciously. What an ingrate! If it wasn’t for her contribution, he wouldn’t have been able to go to the Su Family with them.

Su Xiyin was very worried, and it was written all over her face. Hence, she was not in the mood to talk to them.

Huo Xiao held her hand and comforted her gently. “It’ll be fine. Father-in-law is in good health. He just has an ordinary cold. Didn’t Big Brother say so? Don’t worry.”

It was impossible for Su Xiyin not to worry. Upon hearing his words, her eyes reddened.

It was normal for young people to catch a fever or cold. When the elderly got old, it was inevitable that they would get sick too. She knew that.

However, she had always hoped that the two elders would remain healthy. Wasn’t this every son’s and daughter’s wish?

She had called Big Brother just now and told him what time she could reach home tomorrow. Upon hearing that Big Brother’s voice was not right, she had pressed him for an answer before finding out that their father was sick.

When she had asked about the illness, Big Brother kept stuttering and had not explained clearly. In the end, he had said that it was just a minor cold and had not allowed her to go back at night.

She kept feeling that things were not that simple. If it had really been an ordinary cold, why would Big Brother cry? His voice had even changed. She was scared!

“Grandma, Grandpa is right. It’s inevitable for him to catch a common cold. He’ll definitely be fine. You’re overthinking.” Ling Sheng had just sent a message to ask Aunt Su Yan, but she had yet to receive a reply. To be honest, even though she was comforting her verbally, she was not sure either.

The elderly man was old. He was already in his nineties. To put it bluntly, there was only a fixed number of times left they could meet him at his age. They could only pray that they stayed healthy in their hearts.

“Sheng Sheng’s right. Don’t worry, Grandma,” Huo Xuanzhou echoed her words. When the elderly grew older, their children were always worried.

Su Xiyin nodded, knowing that they were comforting her. She sighed inwardly. How could any son or daughter not worry about their own parents?

Ling Sheng was a little worried along the way. She did not know if it would be very awkward for the Third Master to be in the same car as her father, but with Xiaoqi around, it should be much better.

When they reached the Su Family’s residence, it was already midnight. Su Chi was still waiting for them. Boys his age liked to act cool, so he wore a long trench coat and jumped around in the snow to keep warm.

When Ling Sheng saw him, she saw that the young man was wearing clothes that looked elegant but did not provide any warmth. She even tugged at his trench coat. “It’s so late at night, yet you’re not sleeping or bothered with the cold. Are you standing in the cold wind to freeze into a popsicle?”

“Isn’t it because I have to be here to welcome you?” Su Chi huffed out air and rubbed his hands from the chill, his eyes darting around as though he was looking for someone.

Ling Sheng tugged at him again. “What are you looking at? Who are you looking for?”

Su Chi chuckled and shook his head. “No, I’m looking for anyone.”
