Chapter 28: How to Make a Right Choice (3)
I have been playing at home for a year!
And don’t think I don’t know; Yongfu club is not a place to conduct official business .
It was a good place to have fun .
Huo Xiaoxiao lifted her skirt, pointed to the place where her knees were red, and expressed her opinion in the shortest words, “It hurts . Grandpa!”
Huo Suicheng tried to translate her words . “If I don’t take you, you will tell Grandpa?”
Huo Xiaoxiao nodded heavily .
The father and daughter stood silent for five seconds .
Huo Suicheng bowed his head, picked up Huo Xiaoxiao, and walked out, leaving a message, “Tell the old man that I took Xiaoxiao with me . ”
——
In the back seat of the Bentley, Huo Xiaoxiao was sitting on the baby seat, lying in front of the car window, and looking at the world outside with great interest . Her eyes were full of strange things that she had never seen before .
One year!
For a whole year!
This year, she had not seen any traffic, and the noisy downtown was isolated from her .
How could she not be excited?
Huo Suicheng sat beside her and looked at her with his eyes slightly narrowed . “You are smarter than I thought . You should be able to understand what I am saying . ”
Huo Xiaoxiao looked back at him .
“Be quiet where we want to go later . Play your own game . Don’t make any noise . Don’t cry . Do you hear me?”
Huo Xiao thought for a moment . Dad seems to have some doubts about me . Also, today’s performance is really a little too much .
While racking her mind, she looked at Huo Shuicheng with confusion, not saying anything .
Huo Suicheng repeated, “Don’t cry, don’t make noise, and be obedient . Is that clear?”
Huo Xiaoxiao blinked a little . To be on the safe side, she did not give Huo Suicheng any response and turned her head to the window .
Huo Suicheng’s eyes flashed with doubt, but before he could think much of it, they had reached Yongfu Club .
Yongfu Club was a European-style building built at the beginning of the last century . It used to be a consulate of a certain country but was later transformed into a leisure club .
The waiter at the club’s entrance hurried forward, walked to the door, and opened it . Huo Suicheng got off, but he went to the other side and took Huo Xiaoxiao from the baby seat . He then walked into the club under the shocked eyes of the waiter .
Although this was a club, it was not the black-and-white, run-down kind . Instead, it was elegantly decorated . To access the club, one needed certain qualifications; not everyone could enter this place .
Therefore, the people who came were not a mob .
Huo Xiaoxiao was lying on Huo Suicheng’s shoulder, enjoying all kinds of elegant decoration along the way, and completely ignoring the shocked eyes of the waiters .
Although many people came here, it was rare to bring a child .
Huo Suicheng got used to being stared at by the onlookers . He went into a private room with Huo Xiaoxiao in his arms under the guidance of the waiter .
The door opened, and the odor of smoke entered Huo Xiaoxiao’s nose . She buried her face in Huo Shuicheng’s shirt and smelled the fresh and light woody fragrance on his body .
Huo Suicheng stood at the door with his eyebrows tightly knit . After a few seconds of pause, he bypassed the screen and said to several players in the room, “Put out the cigarettes . Change rooms . ”
One, two, three players in the room looked up and quickly snuffed out their cigarettes . Their room was also transferred to another one .
Four big men in suits stared at the child sitting on the sofa with eight eyes, speechless for a moment .
“…We are all adults here; it’s not so good for you to bring a child, right?”
“Is this your legendary daughter?”
Huo Suicheng coldly snorted .
One of the younger men squeezed Huo Xiaoxiao’s face and asked her, “What’s your name?”
Huo Xiaoxiao knew these people in front of her . She replied, “Huo… Xiaoxiao . ”
“How old are you?”
Huo Xiaoxiao raised a finger .
The man smiled . “Only one year old, and you actually understand me? She’s pretty smart . ”
Adults all over the world were the same . They always liked to make fun of children .
“Your father abandoned you when you were born and went abroad . You were taken by your grandfather for so long . So, who do you like more: Dad or Grandpa?”
“…” Again, there was no good result to sow discord .
She didn’t know how many times she had been asked this kind of question since young . However, those who teased her always made fun of themselves because she couldn’t speak .
When she was finally learning to talk, someone asked that same question! It was time for an appropriate counter-attack .
Huo Xiaoxiao struggled to ask him, one word at a time, “Shushu, do you… like… your daddy or… your grandpa?”
