Chapter 814: Each Bearing Ulterior Motives (1)

In a three-storey mansion, there were about 50 to 60 rooms, but they were all concentrated on the second and third floors. Besides the master bedroom where Huo Xiao and his wife were staying, there were only the guest room and the servant room on the first floor, as well as the kitchen, washroom, and dining room.

Huo Ci and the others of his generation all lived on the second floor. The younger generation lived on the third floor, but a room had always been reserved in the middle. The Old Master had said that the room was reserved for his eldest granddaughter, which was that bedroom Ling Sheng was staying in.

When Ling Sheng and the other two entered, there were already many people in the living room. One could see people upstairs and downstairs.

The juniors of the Huo Family who had gone out to celebrate the New Year had all returned.

“Sheng Sheng, come over quickly.” Huo Xiao was sitting on the sofa in the living room. He gestured at Ling Sheng and smiled very lovingly. He even kicked the man beside him. “Eldest Son, get everyone down.”

“Yes, Father.” Huo Ting had finally seen Sixth Brother’s legendary illegitimate daughter. His eyes seemed to sweep over Ling Sheng and Xiaoqi gently.

Fourth Brother’s wife was a bigmouth who could not hide anything. She had already told them that his illegitimate daughter was that young celebrity called Ling Sheng, who was always involved in scandals with Sixth Brother.

It was fine if she was an illegitimate daughter, but the key was that that illegitimate daughter had returned with a son whose father was unknown. She had said that the child’s father was dead, but the facts weren’t certain!

Ling Sheng smiled at the people present and scanned them. She had done her homework in advance, so she knew everyone. However, her grandpa had yet to speak, so she did not intend to take the initiative to play up to them. She hugged Xiaoqi and sat beside Huo Xiao, looking very gentle and polite.

Huo Ci followed her and looked down at Huo Xuancheng, who was beside Ling Sheng, arrogantly. “Go to the side.”

“Sixth Uncle, who angered you, an old man, outside again?” Huo Xuancheng joked and moved aside obediently.

Huo Ci slapped the back of his head and let out a cold laugh. “Who the f*ck is an old man? Am I that old? Huo Xuancheng, I haven’t seen you in a few days. Your IQ has deteriorated drastically!”

Huo Xuancheng was angry inwardly, but he still kept a smile on his face. “Sixth Uncle is right.”

“Stop arguing as soon as you get back. All of you, shut up.” Huo Xiao kicked Huo Ci’s leg and pointed at his nose as he lectured him. “How old are you? Why are you still arguing with a junior like Ah Cheng? What’s wrong with calling you old? You already have a grandson. Aren’t you old? Are you 18 years old every year?”

Ling Sheng held in her laughter unkindly. She had thought that her grandpa would save some face for her father in the Huo Family. She had not expected him to not give him any face at all. He scolded him however she wanted.

The eldest son, Huo Ting, called everyone at home to come down. There was an impressive group of people. The elders sat on the sofa and chairs. The younger generation had no place to sit, so they just stood on the spot.

There were more than 30 people, both young and old. Thankfully, Ling Sheng had also seen the prosperity of a big family in the Su Family. Otherwise, she would have been really shocked.

Before Huo Xiao said anything, everyone introduced themselves one by one. They spoke to Ling Sheng and gave her a welcome gift as a token.

After all, she was the Old Master’s precious darling. Even if they would not please her, they could not offend her openly. Everyone just had to maintain their facade and act like a harmonious family.

Ling Sheng did not know what they had given her either. As she accepted the gifts, she addressed them however she should address them as and answered whatever she should. There was a constant sweet smile on her face, and her replies were also very appropriate.
