Chapter 818: Each Bearing Ulterior Motives (5)

Then, she went to the jewelry box and took out an almost identical box. There was a slight difference between the colors and designs. The box containing the ominous bracelet was a little older, and the other one was very new.

Huo Pei had already entered. After hearing this, he explained apologetically, “It’s my fault, Mother. Sixth Brother, it’s all my fault. I deserve to die. I took the wrong box, which resulted in this misunderstanding. How could Xianxian and I joke about this kind of thing?”

“What happened?” Huo Xiao entered as well. Xiaoqi had gone to get help. After finding Grandpa, he had gone to find great-grandpa too. He had not explained it clearly, but Huo Xiao had already understood the matter. He bellowed, “Took the wrong box? Do you think it’s fine if you just say you got it wrong? When you’re eating, why don’t you stuff food into your nose?”

Huo Pei felt terrified when he saw the Old Master. “Father, it’s our fault, but I didn’t do it on purpose either. As her uncle, my heart already aches for Sheng Sheng. How could I give her such a thing? Don’t you think so?”

“Father, will you only believe us if we kneel on the ground and beg Sheng Sheng for forgiveness?” Cao Yunxian had not expected Su Xiyin to dare come knocking on her door for this matter.

She had long prepared two plans. If Su Xiyin did not come to find them, fine. Both the grandparents and grandchild were equally timid. What was there for her to be afraid of?

It would also have been fine if they had come to find her. She would just say that she had taken the wrong gift. Su Xiyin’s personality had been soft and gentle for decades. It had to be this Ling Sheng’s idea to come over and taise trouble.

She knew it. Little b*stards who had not had a father since they were young and had even grown up in the countryside had a lot of scheming thoughts. Uncivilized people are born from barren hills and turbulent rivers[1] indeed. They had likely come to the Huo Family to fight with them for the family a.s.sets!

“Fifth Sister-in-law, how could you not be careful about such a matter? Do you think I’m a fool?” Upon seeing the Old Master arrive, Huo Ci complained immediately. He was very angry. “Father, look at my Fifth Sister-in-law and my Fifth Brother. They gave Sheng Sheng a dead person’s bracelet. What do the two of them mean? Do they think that the eldest granddaughter of our Huo Family lacks a plaything like that? Are you people cursing her to die?”

Upon hearing Huo Ci’s words, which added fuel to the fire, Huo Xiao got even angrier. Took the wrong gift? This reason was not that easy to use to fool others. He pointed at Fifth Son and his wife’s noses, and lashed out, “You two d*mned things, if you want to die, put it on yourself! How dare you curse my dear granddaughter? I’ll beat you to death today!”

The Old Master was like G.o.d at home in the first place. Everyone had to respect him. His son would usually be beaten up whenever he wanted at home. Although he would not hit his daughters-in-law when they did something wrong, there was no way he would not chide them. Can’t accept it? If they were not happy, they could get lost!

Ling Sheng had seen exactly how tough her grandpa was. She had thought that he only hit her father. After all, her father was a little unreliable. However, she had not expected that the sons of the household could be beaten up so easily.

Huo Xiao used his walking stick and directly struck Huo Pei on the body forcefully.

Huo Ci even hurriedly opened the door and stirred up trouble by the side. “Father, if they don’t give me a satisfactory answer regarding this, I won’t compromise. My Sheng Sheng only just came to the Huo Family, yet she’s being bullied by them in such a manner. I definitely can’t take this lying down. Who knows how they’ll bully her next?”

Huo Pei was. .h.i.t a few times in a row. The Old Master had not beaten him in a few years already. The last time he had been hit was because he had been tricked into going to Las Vegas and lost 200 million overnight. He was hung on the house beams and beaten by the Old Master. The latter had even said that if he gambled again, he would chop off both his hands.
