Chapter 895 - What Exactly Are You Doing? (1/2)
“Don’t worry about that, Father. My sister will take care of it.” Nangong Lengmo’s handsome face was solemn. “You shouldn’t have come.”
“I shouldn’t have come indeed,” Nangong Lun gritted his teeth. If he had known this would happen, he definitely would not have come to be humiliated!
No wonder the old saying went that people who don’t belong together, don’t get to live together. The old Huo Family had interpreted this sentence exquisitely. The older generation had shed all pretense of cordiality with him in front of everyone. Not only had he not honored his promise back then, but the young one also behaved like this! Indeed, it adhered to the saying that a crooked stick will have a crooked shadow[1]!
Ling Sheng felt that the Old Master of the Nangong Family was definitely very angry. Who knew what he thought of their family in his heart!
However, her father seemed to feel very happy, invigorated and immensely proud. She really wanted to remind him: Father, that’s your father-in-law! If you toy with him like this, what if he doesn’t let you marry his daughter?
Huo Ci was very satisfied today. He had always known that the Old Master of the Nangong Family did not like him. He had not liked him since back then. No matter how much he tried to please him, he had never liked him.
Since that was the case, he should simply maintain the basic courtesy and respect. Why should he lower his head and do everything possible to please him with every possible mean?
He had thought it through long ago. During the time he had been with her, he had already thought it through. He wanted to live with his daughter, not him!
It was even more so now. Since everyone had already shed all pretense of cordiality, why would they maintain this false show of friendship?
Huo Xiao was overjoyed as he beamed at Ling Sheng. “My good granddaughter, what do you want to eat tonight? Grandpa will get the kitchen to prepare it.”
Ling Sheng looked at her grandpa, who was as happy as a child who had won a battle. She was also very happy. “I want to eat pork trotters, braised pork, sweet and sour spare ribs, roasted duck, roasted chicken, and big pork hocks!”
Huo Xiao nodded. “Okay, let’s eat big pork hocks!
Huo Ci gave her a sideways look. She was still eating? She had already become a pig. He was quite disdainful, but he reminded her kindly, “You’re starting work on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year. Look at yourself. When you appear on screen, won’t you be a horizontal ball?”
Ling Sheng turned around and glared at him angrily before complaining, “Grandpa, look at my father. He said I’m fat!”
Huo Xiao hit him with his walking stick. “Who are you talking about? Who are you talking about? How is my dear granddaughter fat? How is she a ball? She’s only adorable when she’s fat.”
Ling Sheng’s face withered abruptly. That really hurt my heart, Grandpa. She bit her lips and seeked confirmation, “Grandpa, did I really gain that much weight?”
Huo Xiao smiled kindly. “No, you’re adorable when you’re plump. Grandpa likes your fleshy appearance. You look soft.”
Ling Sheng’s heart was stabbed again, and she had no choice but to face the cruel reality. She pinched her fleshy face, feeling speechless and choked up. She had gained weight. She had really gained weight!
All the dishes at night were Ling Sheng’s favorites. However, she did not touch a single piece of meat. She only ate vegetables and even had one less bowl of rice.
As a professional actress, she definitely had to achieve her best state before acting. Given her physique, if she did not eat for three days, she could lose five pounds. She would appear on camera in two days.p
Jun Shiyan did not know what was wrong with the young lady. Somewhat worried, he asked softly, “You don’t have an appetite?”
She did not touch her usual favorite meat at all. She had become a vegetarian rabbit. She did not even eat the meat that he picked for her and only ate two peeled prawns. He was afraid that her mood had been affected by what had happened in the afternoon.
