Chapter 845 - Should Not Have Returned (2/2)

Huo Xiao felt even more sad. “Sheng Sheng, are you angry with Grandpa?”

Ling Sheng replied, “No, I’m not.”

The calmer and more nonchalant she was, the more Huo Xiao’s heart ached for her. His dear granddaughter had suffered because of him, her grandpa. His heart ached, and his voice sank too. He looked at her and sighed, “Grandpa knows that you endured this for Grandpa. Grandpa thanks you here. My dear granddaughter knows how to dote on Grandpa the most.”

What could he do? Fourth Son was his biological son. Although he did not like Feifei, she had grown up under his watch too. However, he had not expected her to be more and more outrageous.

“Grandpa, I’m really not angry. Go back to sleep!” Ling Sheng turned around and smiled with difficulty at him.

Huo Xiao’s heart ached when he saw this. “My good granddaughter, Grandpa promises you that this will never happen again. If anyone bullies you again, Grandpa will kick them out of the Huo Family.”

Ling Sheng smiled and shook her head. “Grandpa, I’m really not angry.”

Huo Xiao sighed, feeling disappointed and uncomfortable. His dear granddaughter was angry at him now. She was angry at him. “Then, Grandpa is leaving. You should sleep early when Grandpa leaves.”

Ling Sheng saw that her grandpa was extremely depressed. She really wasn’t angry. Why was her grandpa still so dejected even though she had already made things clear?

Xiaoqi’s sleep quality was excellent. Despite the huge commotion, the child had not woken up. However, the soundproofing effect of the house was also very good.

Su Xiyin sent Huo Xiao down and came back up. She sat by the bed and held her hand. “Sheng Sheng, just for the next few days… Even if you’re unhappy, bear with it. Just take it that you’re doing this for your grandparents.”

Ling Sheng nodded obediently. “Grandma, I understand.”

“It’s not easy for your grandpa. They’re all his children and grandchildren. Both his palms and back of his hands are made of flesh. It’s hard to balance the harmony in such a big family. Your grandpa has it harder than you,” Su Xiyin sighed and patted her head. “Grandma just knew it. I shouldn’t have let you come back.”

Ling Sheng rubbed against her grandma’s gentle palm. “Grandma, you’re here with Grandpa. How can I not come over during the new year?”

Grandma had definitely suffered a lot these past few years. None of those aunties were easy to deal with.

“I know you’re filial. Grandma’s heart simply aches for you.” Su Xiyin made her shift inside and lifted the blanket. “Can Grandma sleep with you today?”

Ling Sheng turned around to hug her grandma and said sweetly, “Okay.”

Upon seeing her soft and obedient granddaughter, Su Xiyin’s heart softened. In a low voice, she said, “Tell Grandma how she bullied you.”

“Grandma, she didn’t bully me much. She just lied to me that those stuff are imitation goods and told me to throw them away. Of course, I knew they are authentic, so I asked Huo Xuanzhou for help. I asked him to stop us in the living room.” Ling Sheng chuckled. She just knew that Grandma had realized long ago. “She treated me like a fool and even gave me trash that she had used before. I didn’t want to do anything at first but she kept getting more and more overboard.”
