Chapter 309: Devil Incarnate

Huo Ci let out a snort and looked at Xiaoqi through the rearview mirror. That brat was a natural bootlicker! Why hadn’t he said he would make 100?
When the incident with the cup was over, Huo Xiao was unhappy again. He kept sighing and glancing at Ling Sheng from time to time before sighing again.
What else could Su Xiyin do? She could only smile bitterly and let Ling Sheng speak. Otherwise, this would be awkward. Who knew how long this would last?
“Grandpa.” Ling Sheng called out softly and sweetly. She was very obedient. “I’m heading off to visit the old folks. I’ll come back to the old residence in two days, alright?”
Grandma had said that after Grandpa had found out that she had agreed to go see the Su Family, he had started throwing a tantrum silently. He had not said anything and had only been angry.
Huo Ci said, “You’re not allowed to reply!”
Huo Xiao said, “Did I talk to you? Shut up.”
Huo Ci let out a cold laugh. “Father, who did you ask her to go back to meet? My eldest brother and the rest? Do you think they will acknowledge her?”
“Do you want to get a beating?” Huo Xiao slapped his head. “I want to see who will dare not acknowledge her. I will slap them!”
“Father, honest words are unpleasant to the ears.” Huo Ci’s lips curled up coldly. He wanted to go home and look at those people’s faces. That was where he had come from. He knew the Huo Family the best.
“Ci’er!” Enraged, Su Xiyin shot him a look. “What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Do you get more insensible the older you get? How can you speak to your father like that?”
Her husband was already in a tough spot when it came to family matters. Every time they met, they would poke at his heart. All of them were his biological sons, so how was he to give preferential treatment to any of them? What could he do?
Huo Ci did not say anything else. He did not even care about going back to compete with that scheming family for their dogsh*t assets. They were the only ones who cared about that. They did not find it tiring to fight every day.
Huo Xiao was silent for a long time before he took Su Xiyin’s hand and sighed. “Okay, okay, okay. It’s up to you. If you don’t want to go back, don’t go back.”
Su Xiyin’s eyes reddened as she comforted him gently. “Hubby, don’t listen to Ci’er’s nonsense. Sheng Sheng is willing to return to the old residence. Let’s give them some time to prepare.”
Ever since that incident, her husband had broken his second brother’s legs and he was still using a walking stick. Ci’er’s heart had turned cold. He no longer harbored any hopes of brotherhood and maintained superficial peace with his brothers at home.
Although the brothers were estranged, he had friends outside who he treated like brothers. They had supported each other to this day. To him, their friendship was the most precious thing.
Now, other than on New Year’s Eve, he did not return to the old residence. He had promised to let Sheng Sheng go back a while ago, but he was refusing to let her go now.
Huo Xiao did not speak anymore. He only let out a deep sigh with his hand trembling slightly. Sixth Brother and Fifth Brother had the same father and different mothers. Plus, they were much younger, so they had not been close from a young age.
As a father, how could he not know that Sixth Brother had been sensible and obedient when he was young, or that he had a sweet mouth and knew how to please others? However, the more he acted like this, the more annoyed the eldest brother and the rest became. They had started to make things difficult for Yin’er.
He had taught them a lesson countless times. He had beaten and scolded them, but the more he did so, the more counter-effects there were. They did not dare do anything on the surface, but they were getting more and more dramatic in secret.
Later, Sixth Brother had changed. He had become a little scumbag who cared about nothing. He was arrogant, domineering, and idle. He was the devil incarnate that the people in the capital feared.
