Chapter 190: 184. Huo Feng and his grandfather join forces to bully old Huo! (2)

After leaving Pu Sangzhi’s home, Huo Mingshan’s mood was incredibly complex.

He returned to school, picked up his car, and drove home. Along the way, his mind was a muddle, utterly chaotic.

Huo Mingshan thought about a lot...

On one hand, he blamed himself for being slower than Huo Feng, allowing that kid to gain the favor of Pu Sangzhi’s mother first.

On the other hand, he started to doubt Huo Feng’s character, not knowing whether that kid was serious about Pu Sangzhi or just playing around.

Many people around him were singing Huo Feng’s praises, saying he was an upbeat, warm, and courteous young man.

But only Huo Mingshan knew just how big of a troublemaker that kid was!

When Shen Yu gave birth to Huo Feng, she was only 19 years old. One could say that right after her maternity leave, she immediately went off to university.

So that little brat Huo Feng was essentially raised by Huo Mingshan through all the dirty work.

Even though Huo Mingshan had disliked Huo Feng since he was a child, he had indeed watched him grow up.

Therefore, his understanding of Huo Feng was deeper than anyone else’s.

From childhood, Huo Feng was a mess, and as he grew, he became an even bigger mess. When he hit the rebellious phase of early adolescence, Huo Mingshan gave up on him.

To this day, Huo Mingshan had no intention of managing his son.

He would rather spend a lot of energy on his students than deal with his son, not wanting to do even basic things like wiping his son’s butt anymore.

And as a parent, Huo Mingshan had been cleaning up after Huo Feng since he was a child.

From a young age, all the big and small troubles caused by Huo Feng were resolved by Huo Mingshan.

Huo Mingshan, a man with such an honorable background, who cared so much about his reputation and outward image, was always scolded badly by head teachers or other parents because of that kid Huo Feng.

All these experiences served as proof of Huo Feng’s troublesome nature!

Because of this, Huo Mingshan truly did not believe his son could improve.

Even if others saw Huo Feng as good, Huo Mingshan believed that it must all be an act.

He knew his son all too well...

Skinny and greasy, noisy and slippery, wickedly smart since childhood, and slick and smarmy as he grew up. He could be very annoying, but also very charming.

So, even though so many people praised Huo Feng, Huo Mingshan still could not bring himself to completely trust these commendations...

Because he understood Huo Feng, and also because he did not trust Huo Feng.

...

About this matter concerning Huo Feng, Huo Mingshan thought the entire ride.

He drove back to Mingzhu Building, parked the car in the garage, and as he was about to reach home, he still couldn’t sort out his thoughts or decide what to do with that kid Huo Feng?

Huo Mingshan, holding his car keys and carrying his bag, took the elevator up to his floor.

In the elevator, he called Huo Feng, intending to have a serious talk with him that night, and reach some sort of a gentleman’s agreement.

Such as not affecting Sangzhi’s studies, not pursuing Sangzhi, not bringing bad habits to Sangzhi, not taking advantage of Sangzhi, not pressuring Sangzhi... and so on and so on.

In short, Huo Mingshan decided to have a good talk with Huo Feng, hoping he could contain his temper and not explode.

However, Huo Mingshan took the initiative to call Huo Feng and he never answered by the time the elevator reached his floor.

"Hmph!"

Staring at the dark phone screen, Huo Mingshan felt a nameless anger rising.

Because he could guess without even thinking that at this time, if the phone wasn’t answered, the little brat was definitely out frolicking with his bad influences!

The thought of his son’s messy lifestyle made Huo Mingshan rather unwilling to talk.

He felt like cutting off all ties in one fell swoop and just bypassing Huo Feng altogether!

"Ding—"

The elevator arrived.

Huo Mingshan walked out of the elevator with thinly veiled anger, headed to his apartment, and took out his keys to unlock the door.

After entering his home, Huo Mingshan casually placed the keys on the shoe cabinet at the entrance and bent down to change his shoes...

As he was taking off his shoes, getting ready to slip into his slippers, suddenly, Huo Mingshan’s eyes sharpened!

Bending down, he blinked and confirmed that he saw a pair of men’s pointed leather shoes that did not belong to Huo Mingshan!

This meant... there was another man in the house at that moment.

Huo Mingshan’s heart tightened immediately, and all sorts of bad premonitions rushed to his mind...

Had a male visitor come to the house?

Judging by the style of the shoes, it didn’t look like a young man’s, so could it be a middle-aged man?

With an uneasy guess in the back of his mind, Huo Mingshan thought of a person who he very, very much did not want to see!

But regardless, he steeled himself, changed shoes, and walked into the house.

He passed through the living room, the dining room, and all the way to the inner rooms, stopping by Huo Feng’s room, where Huo Mingshan involuntarily paused.

"Dad..."

Seeing the middle-aged man in Huo Feng’s room, Huo Mingshan’s voice trembled as he spoke.

Indeed...

Huo Mingshan’s father-in-law, Huo Feng’s grandfather... Shen Jianhua was here!

At that moment, inside Huo Feng’s room, Huo Feng and Shen Jianhua were packing luggage.

A suitcase was wide open on the floor, with Huo Feng’s clothes, toys, and electronic devices all scattered inside.

Shen Jianhua had Huo Feng’s guitar slung over his shoulder, as if he intended to carry it for Huo Feng.

Looking at the messy scene before him, Huo Mingshan gleaned some clues.

"Dad, Huo Feng, what are you doing?" Huo Mingshan walked into the room and asked.

Huo Feng ignored Huo Mingshan, deliberately walked up to him, then turned and walked to his desk, gathered a pile of books from it, and tossed them into the suitcase.

Shen Jianhua, too, ignored Huo Mingshan, merely communicating with Huo Feng, "Xiaofeng, pack everything you’ll need and take it all at once. Once you’ve taken everything, there’s no need to come back."

Huo Feng turned to Shen Jianhua and said, "Grandpa, can’t you help me organize? Doesn’t it hurt to stand so straight?"

"Heh..."

Shen Jianhua chuckled, then threw Huo Feng’s guitar onto the bed before rolling up his sleeves and asking Huo Feng, "Tell me, what do you want me to help with?"

"Over there, I’ll throw things over, and you tidy up the suitcase," Huo Feng replied, pointing at the suitcase and casually tossing a stack of CDs from his desk drawer into it.

Shen Jianhua crouched down and began to sort through Huo Feng’s suitcase, tidying up the mess Huo Feng had just thrown in.

The grandfather and grandson were so engrossed in their own conversation and tasks that they didn’t even glance at Huo Mingshan.

This deliberate ignorance made Huo Mingshan both embarrassed and furious.

Huo Mingshan had no choice but to step further into the room, furrowing his brows and calling Huo Feng’s name, "Huo Feng, what are you doing?"

Turning around, Huo Feng scowled and glared sharply at Huo Mingshan.

At that moment, Huo Feng’s eyes were fierce like a wild beast, and Huo Mingshan felt uncomfortable being stared down by his own son in such a manner.

Normally, he would have certainly scolded Huo Feng for this.

But now, with Shen Jianhua’s presence in the room, Huo Mingshan dared not make a scene!

Huo Mingshan could only hold back...

He would swallow his pride for the moment and wait for a time when Shen Jianhua was not around to settle the score with Huo Feng.

"Are you throwing a tantrum at me now? Just because I reprimanded you a few times at school, you’re planning to run away from home?" Huo Mingshan questioned Huo Feng. His tone was harsh, but not too aggressive.

Because of Shen Jianhua’s presence, Huo Mingshan didn’t dare to be too harsh.

Huo Feng did not respond to Huo Mingshan, instead giving him a glare before sidestepping and moving past Huo Mingshan to the closet behind him, where he opened the door...

Throughout the entire interaction, Huo Feng only glared at Huo Mingshan once and, beyond that, did not exchange a single word with him.

Huo Mingshan realized that Huo Feng was indeed throwing a tantrum!

He seemed genuinely angry...

Just because of a few harsh words at school?

From the wardrobe’s small drawer, Huo Feng took out his frequently used accessories like belts, cufflinks, lapel pins, and ties, among others.

He put these items into a bag, turned around, and tossed it near the suitcase. Shen Jianhua organized it into the suitcase.

Shen Jianhua took an extra glance at the full little bag and smiled, "You little brat, so many varieties. You live as delicately as a woman..."

At that moment, Huo Feng picked up two anime character pillows from the bed and threw them at Shen Jianhua, "Grandpa, don’t say I’m like a woman! You’ll be just like me one day, let’s see if you can still say that then!"

Shen Jianhua burst into laughter, "Haha, what’s wrong with me learning from you? Can’t I aspire to be a bit more youthful?"

By now, Huo Mingshan realized it had been four minutes since he entered the room...

Huo Feng and Shen Jianhua hadn’t paid any attention to him or said a word to him.

The grandfather and grandson simply carried on their exchange, laughing and chatting away, without even a passing look at Huo Mingshan. Such neglect was so intentional, so excessive!

But still, Huo Mingshan could only bear it!

Huo Mingshan took a deep breath, walked toward Shen Jianhua, and slowly crouched down, saying, "Dad, Xiaofeng is still a child. He’s throwing a tantrum at me, can you please not join in on the commotion?"

That’s when Shen Jianhua finally gave him a look...

However, that sidelong glance was so sharp! So aggressive! So... terrifying!

Struck by Shen Jianhua’s disdainful glance, Huo Mingshan’s heart shuddered violently three times!
