[Chapter 28 Returning to the Old House]

Chapter 28 Return to the Old House

Shen Lubai almost told Huo Ting that he was reborn, but in the end he braked the car.

"Nothing, I'm just asking."

"Huo Ting, I'm sleepy, I want to sleep." Shen Lubai couldn't look Huo Ting in the eyes now. He just wanted to escape from here and calm himself down.

"Okay, I'll wake you up when it's time for dinner."

Even if Shen Lubai didn't say anything, he wouldn't force him. He could see that Shen Lubai was worried, and he believed that one day he would take the initiative to tell him.

Early on Sunday morning, Huo Ting took Shen Lubai back to the Huo's old house.

When he went there, Shen Lubai was still a little nervous. He was afraid that his grandfather would blame him for not visiting him in the past few years.

Huo Ting kept comforting Shen Lubai in the car, saying that Mr. Huo had never blamed him.

More than an hour later, Huo Ting's car stopped at the gate of Huo's old house.

The Huo family's old house is located in a relatively remote suburb, where it is relatively quiet and there are fewer vehicles passing by.

The old house covers a large area because many branches of the Huo family live in it.

Huo Ting took Shen Lubai to the front door, then pressed the doorbell, and soon someone came out to open the door.

"Master, you are here."

The man who opened the door was a man in his fifties. He had been working in the Huo family for more than 20 years. He had watched Huo Ting grow up since he was a child, so he was very happy to see Huo Ting coming.

Huo Ting nodded, and then asked, "where is Grandpa?"

"The old man is in the back garden now. He will be very happy to know that you are here, young master."

Huo Ting nodded, and then took Shen Lubai to the living room.

When they came in, the living room was quite crowded, as all the other members of the Huo family had returned.

Originally they were chatting happily in the living room, but the moment Huo Ting came in, they were silent.

"Huo Ting is here, put the things here quickly."

It was Huo Ting's aunt who was speaking. He took the things from Huo Ting's hand.

Huo Ting's tall figure blocked Shen Lubai, so they didn't notice that there was someone following Huo Ting.

After Huo Ting walked in, Shen Lubai stuck his head out and greeted them.

"Why are you here?"

And this voice reveals the dissatisfaction of the owner of the voice.

Shen Lubai looked in the direction of the voice. It was Huo Qing, the son of Huo Ting's uncle, who was two years older than him.

When Shen Lubai lived here before, he disliked him very much and came to trouble him every now and then. After Huo Ting found out and gave him a lecture, he never troubled him again.

No one else said anything, just looked at Shen Lubai.

In fact, they also did not welcome Shen Lubai's arrival, as he was an ungrateful person who could never be tamed.

And even if they are brought up, they might have to divide the property with them after the old man passes away.

The old man likes him very much, even better than his own grandson.

Everyone in the Huo family has different thoughts, but they all think similarly.

But they seem to have forgotten that the Huo family can be what it is today, all thanks to Huo Ting's hard work.

The Huo family was able to have a place for them because of Huo Ting.

"The fruit trees in the yard are growing well this year. When they are ripe, I will pick some and send some to Xiaoting and the others."

The tense atmosphere in the living room slowly dissipated with the arrival of Mr. Huo.

Huo Qing knew that he had said the wrong thing in a hurry. Just when he was worried that Huo Ting might hit him, fortunately, his grandfather came in.

So he quickly called out and walked towards Mr. Huo.

"What are you shouting about? I'm not deaf and can't hear you."

Mr. Huo gave Huo Qing a slap on the head with full energy.

"You don't do your job and just keep yelling. I'm not dead yet."

Huo Qing grinned and said, "Forget it. I can't escape a beating today."

"Grandpa, didn't I want to tell you that my brother is back?"

Huo Qing knew that Master Huo Ting would definitely be happy when talking about him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Huo asked, "Where, where?" and then he saw someone standing at the door.

He walked happily towards Huo Ting with a cane, and then walked straight past Huo Ting when he got to him and walked to Shen Lubai behind him.

His face was full of wrinkles from his happy smile.

He held Shen Lubai's hand and said, "Xiaobai is here. Grandpa missed you so much."

"Come in and sit down. What are you doing standing at the door?"

Sure enough, where Shen Lubai was, all of their grandchildren were picked up, including Huo Ting.

Mr. Huo didn't even look at Huo Ting. He pulled Shen Lubai to sit on the sofa.

Then he said, "Xiao Bai, I haven't seen you for a few years. Why do I feel like you have lost a lot of weight?"

"No way, Grandpa, look at my face, it's getting rounder. How can I be thinner? I've gained several pounds recently."

The moment he heard Mr. Huo's voice, Shen Lubai's tense body straightened.

He was afraid that Master Huo would scold him or ignore him.

But it didn't.

Grandpa Huo is still the same as before, as if he has not changed at all in these years. The only thing that has changed is that he has more white hair, but the old man is still in as good spirits as before.

"Xiaobai, tell me if Huo Ting has bullied you recently. Don't worry, if he bullies you, just come to me and complain. I'll punish him according to the family rules."

Mr. Huo glared at Huo Ting who was walking towards them.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. How could I possibly bully Xiaobai?"

"It would be best."

"Don't worry, Grandpa, Huo Ting is very good to me."

When he saw the two of them coming together, Mr. Huo knew that they must have reconciled.

I hope everything is alright!

After Shen Lubai finished speaking, he took out his gift and gave it to his grandfather.

"Master Huo, this is a gift from me to you, please take a look at it."

Shen Lubai took out the tea set like a little child seeking praise, then placed it carefully on the tea table and looked at Old Man Huo.

"Our Xiaobai even brought me a gift. Look at him, he is so sensible at such a young age."

Mr. Huo immediately started praising Shen Lubai so much that he felt embarrassed.

Master Huo hasn't even picked it up to read it yet.

The other people in the lobby couldn't help but roll their eyes when they heard what their old man said.

Who here comes empty-handed?

Huo Qing looked unconvinced. He did come with gifts, after all, and the tea set he bought was obviously a hundred times better than Shen Lubai's shabby tea set.

But he only dared to mutter it carefully and didn't dare say it out loud. If he said it out loud, he was sure that he would get two gazes staring at him in the next second.

Shen Lubai grabbed his hair and said, "But Grandpa, this is a bit cheap, but don't worry, it is definitely real."
