Chapter 748: You Don’t Have to Worry

Nangong Lengyu held her breath. She knew that she should not interfere in this matter, but he had gone overboard. She could not be bothered to pay attention to him. She looked at Xiaoqi lovingly. “Xiaoqi, let grandma take a look at your hand.”

Xiaoqi’s small hands were clenched tightly. He looked at her and shook his head; his big eyes were full of sparkling tears, and his voice was hoarse. “Xiaoqi is fine. It doesn’t hurt.”

Fire suddenly blazed in Huo Ci’s eyes as he gritted his teeth in anger. “You brat, what nonsense are you shouting? Who are you calling grandma? Can you call her grandma casually?”

Grandma!

What a joke!

When had she become his grandma?

“Granduncle.” Xiaoqi looked at him timidly, his small body shrinking in fright as he gave him an aggrieved and sad look.

Then what should he shout?

Grandpa was angry with him again.

Nangong Lengyu could not take it anymore. She tried her best to control her anger and attempted to reason with him. “Huo Ci, that’s enough. Why are you being so fierce to a child? I asked Xiaoqi to call me that. Do you have a problem with that?”

He sure was capable!

He was already in his forties, yet he was throwing a tantrum at a child!

“I have a lot of problems. His grandma died a long time ago. You won’t even let go of the title of a dead person now, is that it?” Huo Ci’s lips curled up in mockery. His heart was full of fire, and he could not calm down whenever he saw her.

“Huo Ci, don’t provoke me. I don’t want to quarrel with you now.” Nangong Lengyu tried her best to suppress her anger. Why was she angry with a scumbag? Hadn’t he always been like this?

Actually, she was not a good-tempered person. If it weren’t for the fact that a child was around, she really wanted to fight with him for 800 rounds. For some reason, she had a bellyful of anger whenever she saw him. “Xiaoqi, be good. Let me take a look.”

How great!

She hadn’t seen him for so many years, but not only had he not matured, but he had also become increasingly childish and his ability to criticize others had grown too.

Only then did Xiaoqi slowly open his tiny hand. His palm was red, and the skin near his wrist was all torn. A child’s hand was originally delicate, so it made one’s heart ache.

“You’re a man. Aren’t you ashamed to cry when it’s just a small injury?” Huo Ci lectured Xiaoqi with a cold, handsome face before looking at Nangong Lengyu. “As his guardian, I’ll take him to the doctor. You don’t have to worry.”

Then, he turned around and left with Xiaoqi in his arms. His attitude was very ostentatious as he puffed his chest out like he was flaunting his victory.

Nangong Lengyu stood rooted to the ground for a moment, but she was still worried. She chased after him and stopped Huo Ci. “How can I be assured to leave the child to you with such an attitude?”

Huo Ci frowned, finding this very funny. What did Ling Xiaoqi have to do with her? Because he called her grandma, did she really think she was his grandma? “What kind of attitude do I have? What does he have to do with you anyway?”

Nangong Lengyu’s face was cold. “The guardian is irresponsible. Everyone has the right to call the police. The court also has the right to strip him of his custody.”

Huo Ci was baffled. He could have left without saying anything, but for some reason, his feet seemed to have grown roots. He could not move, so he only asked, “How am I irresponsible?”

“Xiaoqi has a fever. As the guardian and the person in charge, yet you don’t even know this.” Nangong Lengyu looked at him mockingly.

“Even if he has a fever, aren’t we going to the hospital now anyway?” Huo Ci tested the temperature of his forehead with his hand and realized that it truly was a little hot. He gave her a sideways look. “Do you need me to remind you? You’re in China, not overseas. I’m his guardian. Even if I beat him to death, it’s my business. It has nothing to do with a neighbor or passerby!”
