Chapter 190: Even A Child
Ling Sheng suddenly looked up. When she looked at Su Xiyin, her eyes lit up. The corners of her lips curled up as she smiled calmly. “I don’t know either. However, I feel very much at ease with him.”
Upon seeing the gentleness in her eyes, Su Xiyin was stunned. Suddenly, she thought of the time when she’d wanted to marry her husband.
This was the first time her father had hit her. He had pointed at her and questioned her. What is good about that old widower? Besides his fortune, what else is there? Our family does not lack money. How old are you? Why do you want to be a stepmother?
She remembered very clearly that this was the first time she had retorted despite always being obedient. Father, I don’t know what’s good about him either. I only know that if I don’t marry him, I’ll regret it forever.
“Grandma knows.” Su Xiyin sighed and hugged her. “That’s all for now. I’ll think of a way to handle your father and grandpa. You can’t let them know, especially your grandpa.”
She knew that love was unreasonable.
“Grandma.” Ling Sheng had thought that she would force her to break up with him and not see the Third Master in the future. She had not expected her to say that. Her eyes felt a little sore as she hugged her tightly, feeling touched. She rubbed against her chest affectionately. “I love you.”
Why was her grandma so adorable and kind? Why was she making her feel so touched?
“Remember Grandma’s words!” Su Xiyin smiled lovingly.
“Grandma, how did the Third Master offend my father?” Ling Sheng wanted to know what kind of feud they had. Every time he met the Third Master, he wanted to silence him.
“You don’t need to care about this. If Third Master Jun really loves you, he must have resolved the feud.” Su Xiyin sighed. “Does he still not know anything?”
Ling Sheng nodded. “Yes.”
Huo Xiao was already shouting outside, asking what was wrong with the tap. It had been a long time since he had come, and he might even get a repairman to come over. Only then did her grandparents leave.
There was a well-known local restaurant nearby. The local cuisine was very authentic. Ling Sheng asked for a private room and carried Xiaoqi as she led her grandparents in.
At the staircase on the first floor, a handsome man in a black suit looked at the group of people entering and told the assistant beside him, “That girl is the new artist managed by Old Six’s Studio. The one Old Five mentioned?”
“Yes, her name is Ling Sheng.” Gu Yang asked the man respectfully, “Sir, do you want to meet Mr. and Mrs. Huo?”
Jiang Zhe shook his head as interest flashed across his narrow eyes. In a low voice, he said, “Seems like Old Five’s information is not accurate. She even has a child with her.”
When the meal was halfway through, Xiaoqi went to the washroom. Ling Sheng washed her hands and waited for him by the door of the men’s washroom.
The taps in the hotel washroom were exclusively used by adults and were not meant to be used by children. Xiaoqi moved a bucket over to stand up and wash his hands.
However, just as he put down the bucket, a handsome middle-aged man looked at him and asked, “Little child, do you need help?”
Xiaoqi took a look at this man. He was not a bad person. He nodded with a bright smile and said crisply, “Thank you, Uncle.”
Jiang Zhe looked at the child in front of him. He was smart and handsome and did not look like Old Six. He looked like his mother. He picked up the child and washed his hands before wiping them clean. “What’s your name?”
Xiaoqi said, “Mommy said I can’t tell strangers my name. Sorry, Uncle!”
Jiang Zhe smiled. The kid was quite vigilant. His upbringing was not bad, and he was sensible. He was much stronger than the Sixth Brother. “How old are you?”
