Chapter 62 - Clueless Double Standards! (1/2)

Ling Sheng grinned innocently, her sparkling eyes glowing.

Ling Xiao Qi remained silent. He pursed his lips and lowered his head, secretly taking a few glances. Then, he held Mommy’s hand tightly and smiled in secret.

Huo Ci jumped up after being hit twice, his handsome face ashen. “Mother, I’m already old enough. Can you let me save some face?”

“Since you know how to save face, you better speak nicely.” Su Xiyin put away the feather duster angrily. “You also know you’re not a child. Look at what you’ve done.”

Huo Ci muttered unhappily, “Since when is this my fault?”

“You…” Su Xiyin raised her feather duster. “How dare you talk back to me!”

Huo Ci quickly corrected himself. “I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare.”

Ling Sheng picked up her son and watched the commotion, not daring to laugh too arrogantly.

Oh my, it was so much fun. He had chickened out.

Ling Xiao Qi had a pitying look on his face. Grandpa was so pitiful that he had to be beaten even though he was an adult.

He had to help Grandpa.

When Huo Ci sat down again, his back ached.

His mother was not soft-hearted at all. She had lashed his body hard.

Su Xiyin held the feather duster in her hand, fearing that he would hide it again. “Speak nicely, or things will be different when your father asks you to do so.”

Ling Xiao Qi let his mother know before he ran over to Huo Ci quietly and slipped into his embrace.

This time, Huo Ci did not chase him away, nor did he scold him. He hugged him tightly like an amulet. “Mother, I really don’t know what happened. Ask her yourself.”

It was more than twenty years ago.

He had so many girlfriends back then… How would he know which one was her mother?

“You…” Su Xiyin picked up the feather duster and was about to strike when she saw him hold up Xiao Qi to stop her. She retracted her hand and smiled gently. “Xiao Qi.”
