Was it useful to apologize for doing something wrong?
"There's no need." Grandfather Huo handed the birdcage to Uncle Zhang with a strong aura. "You've already been wronged. How can an apology make up for it?"
Huo Tian froze, wishing she could dig a hole and hide in it.
"It's the New Year today, so I won't punish you. Go to the ancestral hall and kneel for three hours. When you come out, apologize to Yaoyao honestly and ask her if she wants to forgive you. Otherwise, don't come to the Huo residence anymore. "
The servant handed him a wet handkerchief. Grandfather Huo took it and slowly wiped his palms.
His tone was indifferent, as if he was discussing the weather.
When the real head of the family spoke, no one dared to say a word.
This was the first time Dai Shiqing had come to the Huo residence as Gu Fenlan's relative.
In the past, she had always heard that the Huo family was different from those wealthy families. They still maintained some ancient aristocratic rules. For example, the status of the direct descendants and the collateral descendants was worlds apart. And ever since she entered this maze-like manor, this feeling became even stronger.
The servants here had rules, and there were bodyguards everywhere.
Along the way, she heard a lot of Huo Tian bragging about how Grandfather Huo doted on her and so on.
However, in front of the real future mistress of the Huo family, her love seemed insignificant.
Even the way Grandfather Huo looked at her was as if he was looking at a stranger. The people here, including the butler and the bodyguard, all looked high and mighty.
She thought that she was outstanding enough to be worthy of that powerful man.
Now, she realized …
There was an entire galaxy between imagination and reality.
"You don't want to?" Grandfather Huo finished wiping his hands and saw that Huo Tian was still standing at the side in a daze. He raised his eyebrows. "If that's the case, someone, send her out."
"Grandfather …" Huo Tian felt extremely wronged. She didn't understand why Grandfather Huo had changed so quickly.
"No, no, no, big brother, Tiantian is willing! She's just scared! "
Gu Fenlan pulled her back and desperately winked at her.
Fortunately, Huo Tian wasn't too stupid. Tears fell from her eyes as she nodded aggrievedly. "Grandfather, it's Tiantian's fault. Tiantian is willing to be punished and will apologize to Auntie. "
"Okay, go ahead."
Grandfather Huo lowered his eyes. Even though Huo Tian was already so pitiful, he did not have any expression on his face.
Uncle Zhang helped him sit down on the sofa.
He looked at the reserved Huo Zexi and suddenly smiled.
"Come here, child."
The old man smiled kindly, as if the person with the threatening aura and sharp eyes just now was not him.
Huo Zexi took a deep breath and walked over.
"What's your name?"
"Grandfather, my name is Huo Zexi."
Grandfather Huo suddenly understood. "Same generation as Ningxi? However, he was still working outside and hadn't returned yet. He would probably be a little late. You should have something to talk about with him. Were you the one who called him Auntie first? "
Huo Zexi nodded with a red face.
In fact, Song Yaoyao might be younger than him.
When he called out, he felt rather embarrassed.
But, it didn't take long before Huo Ningxi completely forgot about this shame.
Grandfather Huo laughed loudly and waved at him. Huo Zexi obediently lowered his head. Then, he was patted on the head and heard the old man's kind voice. "You're a sensible one. Go ahead. If you can make your Auntie happy, I'll reward you with a car."
"Really?!"
F * ck..
Huo Zexi raised his head in surprise. He was so excited that his eyes changed.
"This child, how could your Grandfather lie to you?"
Huo Zexi's parents were overjoyed. Their family was a peripheral figure. Every time they came to the Huo residence for New Year's Eve dinner, they were the most transparent existence. This year, their son had actually gained Grandfather Huo's favor. How could they not be proud?
