His parents had gone overseas to keep an eye on this kid. He had initially gone to the Third Brother’s birthday party, but half-way there, Zuo Ming had called and told him that the brat had been beaten up. He had not even told him who had called.
Xiaoqi wiped his tears forcefully and sobbed. “He’s in my class. I can’t beat him.”
Huo Ci was extremely annoyed. F*ck, he hated children the most. All he did was cry. He really wanted to leave him at home. He said patiently, “Why did he hit you?”
“He called me a b*stard without a father. When I told him I had a father, he hit me.” As Xiaoqi spoke, he pouted sadly and wanted to cry again.
“Who’s your father?” Huo Ci was amused as he looked down at him. “Don’t you have a father? You can’t let him say anything.”
Xiaoqi’s eyes widened as he looked at him in disbelief. The tears that he had been holding back flowed down again. With a loud cry, he wailed miserably. His cries grew louder and louder.
He had no father.
Grandpa had also said that he did not have a father.
However, he did not want to hear others call him a b*stard and say that he had no upbringing or that his mother was dirty.
Upon hearing Huo Ci’s words, he cried even harder, as though his father had really died. Infuriated, Huo Ci turned around and left. “You can cry by yourself. Cry hard!”
“Grandpa!” Xiaoqi suddenly rushed forward and hugged his thigh. “Grandpa, don’t go. Don’t abandon Xiaoqi. Xiaoqi will be obedient. Xiaoqi won’t cry. Grandpa, don’t abandon me.”
Huo Ci struggled for a while, but he had not expected the little brat to hug him so tightly. Afraid of hurting him, he held back his anger. “You are really not crying anymore.”
Xiaoqi nodded vigorously. When he raised his small head, his red swollen eyes stared stubbornly at him as he asked, “Xiaoqi listens to you, Grandpa. If you practice well, you’ll win the fight, right?”
When he saw the child suddenly stop crying, Huo Ci’s heart sank. He frowned. “Do you want to beat him?”
“Yes.” Xiaoqi nodded firmly, his bruised face full of tears.
If Grandpa did not want him to cry, he would not cry.
Otherwise, Grandpa would not want him anymore.
Huo Ci heaved a sigh of relief. If he had continued to cry, he really did not know what he would have done. Damn it, he did not know how to coax a child.
Xiaoqi had cried so hard that the medicine on his face was gone.
Huo Ci, who was not angry, tugged at him to apply more medicine. Upon seeing the bruised and swollen face in front of him, he felt infuriated. “Who hit you?”
Only
This brat was very tight-lipped. He did not know if he had been beaten up or threatened. No one would say anything. Even the kindergarten director and teachers were extremely anxious. He just would not say who had hit him.
“A man should seek his own revenge.” Xiaoqi clenched his fists and spoke seriously.
Huo Ci was amused by him. “You haven’t even grown hair, yet you think you are a man. Forget it!”
“Grandpa, Xiaoqi is a man. When he grows up, he will protect Mommy, you, great-grandpa, and great-grandma.” His tender voice was loud and clear.
Huo Ci shook his head in disdain. “Take good care of yourself first. Your old man does not need your protection.”
“But when Grandpa becomes old and cannot walk anymore, he will need Xiaoqi.” Xiaoqi was serious.
“Little brat, do you think I’ll get old?” Huo Ci let out a low cough to conceal his momentary loss of self-control. “Alright, seeing how filial your words are, I’ll make you a boxing suit tomorrow. What color do you want it to be?”
