After the silent dinner that lasted like a century in Zhaoyang's mind, the parents invited their children to chat in the living room, "To have some family moments," the mother claimed . In actuality, the only two voices that echoed at the exquisitely decorated home were from Huo Zhenning and Xue Yuming . Their two (step)children never really spoke up .
It was a bullet fired the moment Huo Yunting opened his mouth .
"Nothing good will ever come your from mouth!" His father lectured at the top of his lungs while he just smiled on top of his nonchalance .
Throughout the awkward conversation that went on like dragging dead horses, Huo Yunting had been passing glances at his woman who did not move even a single bit on the couch . Having seen his message failing to get across, he could no longer hold his disgust watching the two , "Well, good night to you all," he stood up from the couch as he tossed away the cushion he had been grasping for the past 30 minutes, "I'll be going as I refuse to look like a nuisance to people and I also refuse to be forced to look at the nuisance caused by people . "
It was relieving to Lu as she saw the man storming towards the porch .
But life was never simple for her, probably for the rest of the family too .
"Yunting! Oh, my beloved grandson!" The old missus was home as she caught her grandchild right at the doorstep . "You should have told me you'll be visiting! I would have been back home much earlier!" Granny was overjoyed .
"It's still early . We managed to meet each other before departure . " Huo Yunting went to hold the old lady trembling in excitement, "Granny, you can visit the city whenever you want to see me . I'll get you anywhere you want to . That's my territory after all . "

"Wait, Yunting, you're leaving? It's pretty late now so don't you leave . Thunderbolt Corp . will not fall apart without you over the night! Stay here with granny . I don't care if she's pregnant, you're still my favorite grandson!" Old lady Huo smiled, her wrinkled face formed into a loving curve as she grabbed Yunting's wrist tight, "You must not leave or your granny will be very unhappy!"
"Fine, granny . If you say so . " Calmly Huo Yunting headed back into the mansion . He knew the temperament of his granny well . Assuming he left despite her request, his granny would undoubtedly give Lu Zhaoyang a severe lecture .
The old lady could not stop smiling once her lovely grandson walked into the house . His last visit to the mansion was a hectic one such that he strode out of the place before she could have a few words with him . Therefore he must stay this time .
Nonetheless, Huo Yunting knew his granny all too well . The bright smile and joyful squeaks all vanished when she saw Lu Zhaoyang .

"Madam . " She nodded and greeted courteously .
The greeting was not replied to as the old lady continued patting the hand of her grandson before sitting down . Huo Yunting, like an amiable child, sat fairly close to his grandmother once they settled down, "Oh, granny . Don't pull a long face . It taints your beauty . Look at that bright smile you have!"
"Not like I can smile now . Can't you see who's sitting across the table? As much as I want you home, I only want *you* home, nobody else," said the old lady as she stared at Huo Yunting . The atmosphere turned grave .

"I'll—I'll be in my room . " Lu Zhaoyang gave herself an evacuation .
Xue Yuming's expression tightened as she almost forgot the incident between her daughter and Huo Chen . She should not have kept her daughter home . Now the grandmother had seen her daughter . She must be blamed again .
Ugh—why do I have to deal with all these? Wait, I can't be mad, it will hurt my baby . Breath in…breath out…
"Oh, what's the rush?" The old lady squinted her eyes, "You really need to learn some manners . Now pour me some tea!"
"I'm sorry, granny," Lu Zhaoyang turned to her and responded politely, "It's almost the time to sleep . Some tea might be great but it will affect your sleep . I would recommend a glass of milk . "
"When I said I wanted some tea, you just pour me some tea . Don't you dare to express your little brilliant ideas to me!" The old lady was even more enraged .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
