Chapter 244
Chapter 244: Chapter 244 I’m not old and stupid
Huo mingyue smiled and said, “Then I don’t need a granddaughter. I have an excellent granddaughter like Yan Xi. I will never have another granddaughter in my life!”
When she said the last sentence, the smile on her face was gone, and her eyes became as sharp as knives.
The scene, which had been a little chaotic, suddenly became quiet.
Huo Mingyue reached out her hand, and Yan Xi handed it over. The grandfather and grandson stood together, holding hands, and smiled at each other.
Huo Mingyue looked at Yan XI, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were filled with kindness. “Baby, I’ve made you suffer. which blind person dares to bully my granddaughter again? Do you really think that all of us from the Xi family are dead?”
Everyone looked at Huo Mingyue in surprise. So this person was really here to support Yan XI.
Chen Xiangxiang’s heart sank. At that moment, she almost couldn’t help but turn around and run.
It was too embarrassing — this was even more embarrassing than being reprimanded by Li Weiran.
Was she really that bad? How could she be so despised by them.
A pair of hands pressed down on her. Chen Xiangxiang turned to look at du Xiaoman, her eyes gradually filled with cold hatred.
It was all because of her. It was all because of this good-for-nothing mother who couldn’t do anything and made her lose face again and again!
Huo Mingyue wouldn’t hate her for no reason, so it could only be because she didn’t like du Xiaoman. After all, Huo Mingyue came from a prestigious family, so it was only right for her to look down on du Xiaoman’s background.
Du Xiaoman pursed her lips and looked at XI jingxing with a gentle gaze.
Xi Jingren pushed XI jingxing anxiously. “Jingxing, say something!”
Li Meiyun also smiled and said, “Mom, Great Immortal said that Xiangxiang is Jingxing’s Lucky Star. Only Jingxing’s Xiangxiang can bring fortune to the XI family...”
Before she could finish, Huo Mingyue suddenly picked up Xi Lurong’s walking stick and without warning, she swung it directly at XI jingxing.
Xi Jingxing was caught off guard and staggered. His face was pale from the pain. “Mom!”
Xi Jingren and Li Meiyun were so scared that they took a few steps back. They kept a safe distance and didn’t dare to go forward.
There were so many people present, and none of them were older than Huo Mingyue. For a moment, everyone avoided her. They were afraid that they would be caught in the crossfire for no reason.
It was okay for them to show off and teach others a lesson, but if they really wanted to fight, they definitely wouldn’t do it. They were all old, and their arms and legs were old. Who would be the one to blame if they got injured?
Xi Jingxing didn’t dare to Dodge. Huo Mingyue slapped him mercilessly, and Xi Jingxing’s face was about to be slapped.
The pain was secondary. Most importantly, he was already an adult, yet he was still hit by his mother. This was too embarrassing.
Where would his face and dignity go in front of the Xi family’s younger generation?
“Mother, what are you doing? I don’t quite understand.”
“You still feel wronged, don’t you?”Huo Mingyue paused before she spoke slowly, “Jingxing, what did I teach you? I taught you to be kind and tolerant, but I didn’t teach you to not be able to protect your own daughter. You can even let someone steal your daughter’s life-saving medicine, yet you still have the face to come see me?”
Xi Jingxing’s face instantly turned pale.
Huo Mingyue: “Don’t you even know how to apologize? You even ran away from home to protect an outsider. It’s very good. The villa at an Zhitinglan was originally Yan Yan’s, so you don’t have the right to live there. You Don’t have the right now, and you won’t have the right in the future!”
Xi Yaohua could not believe it. It was not like that at all. It must be Yan XI who complained. Yes, it must be!
“Grandma, Yan Xi is twisting the truth...”
Since he was in a hurry to give his head away, Huo Mingyue naturally would not stand on ceremony. She turned her crutch and knocked on Xi Yaohua’s body again.
“Your grandma, I’m not senile yet!”
Li Meiyun could not take it anymore. “Mom, Yaohua is the eldest grandson of the Xi family. How could you...”
Huo Mingyue knocked on Xi Jingren’s body with her crutch. Xi Jingren was stunned. He had already hidden far away, so why did she still hit him?
“Your surname isn’t Xi, so I won’t hit you. Jingren, how did you teach your son? Tell me properly. I haven’t even returned to the country yet and he’s already trying to sow discord. He doesn’t even look like an elder brother. Is he trying to sow discord between brothers? Is he trying to make me angry to death?”
Xi Yaohua’s mind was almost at a knot. He had asked for help from abroad, but why did he turn to Yan Xi’s side instead?
He did not understand!
Yan XI and Huo Mingyue did not spend much time together. When Yan Xi was young, she was brought to the Yan family to be raised, so she was not close to Huo Mingyue.
After the elder passed away, Huo Mingyue went abroad because she was too sad, so she went away for four to five years.
No matter how he looked at it, he should have been more popular with Huo Mingyue since he was a child, right?
Furthermore, he was the eldest grandson of the Xi family! He was a man! Yan Xi was nothing. It was fine if she was a money loser, but her surname was not xi!
However, even if he did not understand, the cane still hurt when it hit his body. Xi Yaohua was furious and wanted to snatch the cane from Huo Mingyue’s hand.
Xi Yan quickly went up to stop him. “Cousin, this is not good. Do you want to commit treason?”
Xi Yaohua was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood!
Was the old woman crazy? She was beating up her own son and grandson for a money-losing product.
Xi Luorong only spoke after a long while with a trembling voice, “Stop! Sister-in-law, Please Stop!”
She still had to give face to Huo Mingyue. After all, she was the birthday girl today. Huo Mingyue put down her walking stick and gracefully tucked her hair behind her ear. “I’ve made a fool out of myself. It’s all my fault for not teaching my son well. These useless things are so presumptuous.”
She paused and then looked at Xi Luorong with a gentle voice, “Rong Rong, I’m sorry to have ruined your mood. Sister-in-law will apologize to you. Xiangxiang is indeed a good child. If you like her, then adopt her. Others won’t dare to gossip about her, but the XI family can still do it for you.”
After a pause, she said, “Are you worried that Liao Cheng and his wife will remember the first child? You didn’t do it on purpose...”
Xi Luorong looked at her in horror. “No, sister-in-law, stop talking!”
If that incident was exposed, she probably wouldn’t be able to stay in North Bridge City anymore.
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. Her face turned pale, and she clutched her chest for a long time, unable to catch her breath.
Huo Mingyue regretfully stopped talking. This person’s mental fortitude wasn’t very good. After all, she was already old, and it wasn’t appropriate for her to be overly agitated.
“I’m already old, so I can’t take it anymore. Whenever I get angry, I get angina. I Won’t stay for such a festive occasion. Rong Rong, sister-in-law wishes you a long life, so I’ll be leaving first.”
Huo Mingyue’s words and actions were appropriate. She extended her arm and glanced at Yan XI. “Yan Yan, help me up. I’m a little dizzy here.”
Yan Xi suppressed her laughter and went forward. “Okay, grandmother, please slow down.”
Xi Jingxing and XI Jingren finally reacted. They wanted to help Huo Mingyue up. “Mom, if you’re not feeling well, we can take you to the hospital...”
Huo Mingyue’s expression was calm. “But I don’t want to see your old faces now. Don’t you think it’s enough to anger me to death?”
The two of them suddenly did not dare to move.
Yan Xi helped Huo Mingyue walk a few steps. After a pause, she suddenly turned to look at Xi Lurong. “Great-aunt, I wish you the best of luck as well. By the way, this is a gift for you.”
She opened the jewelry box in her hand. The set of imperial jade jewelry inside was particularly eye-catching.
