Chapter 256 Struck by Lightning 4

But this is the third time. If it happens again, she'll definitely beat him to a pulp!

Chen Jianye's pupils suddenly contracted, and that feeling of being stared at by a terrifying monster returned.

His scalp tingled, his spine went cold, and his whole body stiffened for a short time.

The rest of the Chen family didn't notice his unusual behavior and all looked at Helian Jiao with bewildered expressions: What is my darling saying?!

What do you mean, "first time" and "next time"?

What? It's already been returned?

Only Ma Xiulian seemed to understand, but secretly thought she would ask her son for clarification. On the surface, she glared at her third son with a dark expression and said, "I'm happy to spoil my darling! If you dare to say another harsh word to her, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Chen Jianye looked at his mother, who was protecting her child as if she were possessed, and thought about the things his wife had said to him more than once before.

His mother used to be extremely sexist!

But ever since his little girl was born, he has doted on her as if he were under a spell, even more so than on his grandsons.

This is absolutely abnormal!

Moreover, the occasional terrifying look in this girl's eyes really doesn't seem like the look of a normal four-year-old.

They only like to eat meat, just like wild animals in the mountains!

He was horrified and pointed at Helian Jiao, saying, "...Mom, don't you think this little...darling is a bit strange?"

"Shut up!"

Old Chen suddenly stood up, walked over, and slapped him hard across the face.

Snap—

"If you utter another single word of nonsense, you'd better get out of here and live alone!"

His sharp gaze cut into Chen Jianye's face like a knife, and his voice was ruthless, making everyone who heard it know that he was not just saying it casually.

The Chen family had finally been blessed with a divine granddaughter through the good deeds of their ancestors, and they couldn't let this fool ruin it!

Chen Jianye was stunned by the beating, and everyone else was dumbfounded.

Li Chunhua was extremely nervous and uneasy, shrinking her neck as if afraid that her father-in-law's slap would land on her face at any moment.

For a moment, the whole house was as quiet as a chicken's nest, and the three sons and daughters-in-law didn't dare to utter a sound.

The children were all as well-behaved as little chicks: Grandpa is too scary!

Only Helian Jiao clapped her chubby little hands and praised in a childish voice, "Master, you're so amazing!"

It's okay if the little princess can't do it herself, because she has her grandparents to protect her.

Chen Dazhu's dark and terrifying expression softened instantly. He stroked her fluffy little head, his eyes revealing a loving and doting affection that no one else had ever seen: "My darling is the lucky star of our Chen family, and also the precious granddaughter of Grandpa and Grandma."

Although he valued the family's honor, he also genuinely loved his little granddaughter who would act spoiled with him and wasn't afraid to get close to him.

The little princess sweetly hummed in agreement, her face full of innocence.

Although this was the first time Grandpa had said something like this, Grandma often did, and whenever this happened, Grandpa would give her the same doting look as Father.

Ma Xiulian then slowly said, "Alright, everyone hurry up and eat, then go to the fields!"

Turning to Helian Jiao, she spoke softly, "Sweetie, Aunt Jiang will be here to pick you up soon. Let's finish our meal quickly so as not to keep others waiting."

Helian Jiao nodded and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Okay~"

So the whole family continued eating breakfast, pretending that nothing had happened.

Chen Jianye silently munched on his sweet potato, but after one bite, his eye twitched because his mouth hurt.
