Transmigrating: I Married the Male Protagonist's Uncle

Chapter 976: There’s Something Wrong Here

Ling Sheng’s heart swelled a little. Something she had thought would become unfamiliar had not actually changed. Her grandparents were still as concerned and cherished her as they had in the past. Her lips curled up slightly in joy.

It turned out that those feelings would not be separated by time and space. This was truly the affection among blood-related family members. It might be the familiar kind of affinity one felt at first sight.

Su Xiyin took off her clothes and saw the swollen wound on the young lady’s fair, delicate back. Some parts of her skin had even split. She was angry and her heart ached. Even if it wasn’t this little girl but their own son, he shouldn’t use such a heavy hand. Was he trying to beat her to death?!

“What’s your name?”

“Grandma, my name is Ling Sheng.”

“I told you not to call me Grandma. Just call me Auntie.”

“Grandma, can I really live in your house?”

“Don’t you have a home?”

“No.”

Ling Sheng’s voice became gloomy. Yes, I do. This is the place. You’re my family!

When Su Xiyin heard the little girl’s voice, her heart ached so much. She couldn’t help but want to shed tears. Her voice was soft and even a little nasally. “In that case, stay here. Your uncle and I will help you find your family.”

In the living room, Huo Xiao was still holding a feather duster. He pointed at Huo Ci. “Stand properly and tell me. How did you deceive this young lady?”

That young lady had soft, delicate skin, so she must have been pampered by someone while growing up and the apple of their eyes. How could she be an orphan? She was probably just lying to him.

“I picked her up! I picked her up on the road. She pulled on me and called me Dad. Since I’m already her father, surely it’s not wrong to bring her back, right?!” Huo Ci still looked very nonchalant, and his reply was careless too. “Dad, haven’t you been wanting a granddaughter every day? I’ve found you a grown granddaughter here. You should be happy instead! Show a smile.”

Huo Xiao raised the murder weapon in his hand. He was so angry that he really wanted to simply beat him to death. He gritted his teeth. “How is that the same? You randomly found a little girl on the street and she’s my granddaughter now? Is that it?”

Huo Ci said, “I see that you and Mom like her quite a lot too. Why don’t you just let her stay at home? She’s so pitiful without anyone to rely on outside too. If she gets scammed and sold off by human traffickers, you guys will have to take full responsibility.”

Huo Xiao glared at him. “Hurry up and tell me the truth! Let me ask you then. Where did you get her from? She was doing just fine on the street, but you managed to pick up a nice little girl for nothing?”

“Dad.” Huo Ci looked at him and pointed at his own head. “You saw it too. There’s something wrong here with that girl. She’s different from normal people.”

Huo Xiao let out an angry snort. When he thought of how he had hit someone else’s little girl just now, the weapon he had raised swayed twice before he put it down again unwillingly. “Just you wait! If you had forced her to do something that shouldn’t be done, I’ll beat you to death!”

“You’ve wronged me! I really didn’t do anything. Look at how young she is too.” Huo Ci whistled. He looked roguishly handsome and arrogant. “Even if I’m going to touch her, I have to wait for her to grow up.”

Huo Xiao was so angry that he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood. He held it in his throat and pointed at him while gritting his teeth. “Wait until I find her parents! Then, we’ll settle the score again!”

Su Xiyin came out after applying the medicine. Upon seeing her husband walk over, she shook her head. The little girl did not say anything. She just said that she was the only one left and wanted to stay here.

The little girl did not look like a swindler either, especially when she called her ‘Grandma’ softly and sweetly. She was so happy that her heart was going to melt. She really liked her very much. She had never thought that she would like a girl she had met for the first time so much either.

Huo Xiao and Su Xiyin had no choice. Their son had already brought her home. What could they do? How could they chase her away? However, they simply felt a little uncomfortable hearing her call Huo Ci ‘Dad’ and them ‘Grandpa, Grandma’.

Their son was only 18 years old this year! He could not have fathered such a grown daughter!

“What’s there to discuss? Isn’t there an empty bedroom on the second floor? Can’t we just let her move in there?” Huo Ci pointed at a locked room on the left side of the stairs on the second floor. His eyes and brows were full of insolence as he even swept his eyes over Xiao Hui, who was sitting by the side.

Tsk, tsk. Their fourth branch had already been eyeing that room for a very long time. Ever since they had brought Huo Feifei back, they would bring up the matter ‘unintentionally’ every time they came over.

If his parents gave this room to a young girl he had brought back, he wondered if the couple would be angered to death.

“Father! That room is out of the question! There are many guest rooms at home. Won’t she be able to move in after Auntie Liu cleans and tidies one up?” Xiao Hui had come to watch the excitement. She had not expected Father to actually decide to let a girl of unknown origins live here.

She would not say anything if they asked her to stay, but that room was definitely out of the question! It was meant for the eldest granddaughter of the Huo Family. Even their Feifei could not get to live in it! This d*mned brat in front of her could forget about it!

Ye Ru and her husband had also come over to join in the fun. She was just a little girl. Old Master and Old Madam were not fools while Sixth Brother was also a shrewd character. Who knew what he was up to? She wouldn’t get involved as much as possible.

“Fourth Sister-in-Law, it’s just a place to stay in. Anywhere’s the same. My daughter said that she likes that room.” Huo Ci gave Ling Sheng a look to tell her to back him up.

Ling Sheng nodded and said in a soft voice, “I’ll listen to my dad.”

Xiao Hui was furious. What dad? How was she not ashamed? He was probably the kind of ‘dad’ who would push her down under his body! Her expression did not change much as she simply looked toward Huo Xiao. “Sixth Brother, we should still listen to our father regarding this matter.”

Huo Xiao frowned and finally gave the word with a stern face, “Get Auntie Liu to clean up the guest room for her!”

No one could have any crooked thoughts about that room. He had long made himself clear that he was keeping it for his own dear granddaughter. He would give the room to whichever branch of the family gave birth to a girl first. It was fair and just.

Ling Sheng felt a little sad and disappointed, but she soon came around. Right now, she was just a stranger with unknown origins who was freeloading at their house. Her grandparents had little affection for her too.

Besides, it seemed like her father had deliberately brought her back to make use of her to piss others off. That made sense too. Who would trust and like a strange person for no reason?

Ling Sheng did not have any clothes to wear, so she was wearing Su Xiyin’s clothes. Her grandma was a head taller than her at this moment, so the clothing was huge on her.

Xiao Hui was happy now. As long as the Old Master did not give the room to anyone else, everything would be fine. She wanted to please the two elders so she looked at Ling Sheng and smiled. “Mother, I have the clothes that Feifei wears with me. I think the two of them are similar in age and height. Let me bring two sets over!”

Huo Ci let out a cold snort. He was recalcitrant and scathing, not giving her any face. “Fourth Sister-in-law, my daughter is not here to pick up old hand-me-downs.”

Su Xiyin glared at him fiercely. They were all one family. Look at this prickly behavior of his! She did not know how he had become like this either!
