Chapter 192: Grandpa’s Absolute Favoritism! (1)

Under the staunch protection of Shen Jianhua, Huo Feng was successfully taken away.

The grandfather and grandson duo, each carrying a suitcase in one hand and shouldering a guitar in the other, left Huo Mingshan’s house together—their silhouettes resolute, their intentions united.

Meanwhile, Huo Mingshan could only watch helplessly as Huo Feng was taken away by Shen Jianhua, without any means to stop them.

Huo Mingshan was completely unwilling to let Huo Feng leave with Shen Jianhua.

Because Shen Jianhua’s educational methods were entirely the opposite of Huo Mingshan’s.

It could be said that if Huo Feng had developed such a wild disposition under the upbringing of Huo Mingshan as a father, it was inextricably linked to Shen Jianhua’s influence.

All these old stories contributed to the Huo Feng of the present, the Huo Mingshan of the present, and their current father-son relationship.

As for these matters, they would be gradually revealed later on.

...

At 7:30 PM, Huo Feng officially moved into Shen Jianhua’s house with his luggage.

It was the same five-story residential building, with a room specially arranged for Huo Feng, and all the items in the room belonged to him.

Arriving here was like coming to another home for Huo Feng, nothing felt unfamiliar.

Huo Feng carried his suitcase up to his room, tossed it inside without a care, and immediately went downstairs to the living room to find Shen Nuan.

Indeed...

Shen Nuan was Shen Jianhua’s daughter, Shen Yu’s little sister, and also Huo Feng’s maternal aunt.

Shen Nuan was several months younger than Huo Feng. Her mother was of advanced maternal age when she was pregnant with Shen Nuan, taking considerable risks.

And the reason why Shen Nuan was born into this family was actually related to Huo Mingshan.

Back then, it was because Huo Mingshan had developed an illicit relationship with Shen Yu. To oppose their union, Shen Jianhua threatened Shen Yu, stating that if she insisted on marrying Huo Mingshan, that old and poor man, Shen Jianhua would have another child and not leave a penny of the inheritance to Shen Yu—in addition, he would also drive her out of the house.

This decision was made in a fit of pique, as Shen Jianhua had only intended to scare Shen Yu.

Who would have known that Shen Yu would become pregnant afterward?

Precisely because of Shen Yu’s pregnancy, Shen Jianhua ended up having a meltdown, and in his frenzy, he fathered Shen Nuan with his elderly wife.

The stories of their generation were indeed rare in the village.

This, however, did not affect the relationship between Huo Feng and Shen Nuan.

Although they were separated by a generation and referred to each other as ’little aunt’ and ’big nephew’, when they actually interacted, Huo Feng still treated Shen Nuan as a little sister and Shen Nuan treated Huo Feng as an older boy.

Huo Feng’s sudden move to Shen Nuan’s place with his suitcase came as a surprise to her.

Seeing Huo Feng coming down from upstairs and sitting beside her, Shen Nuan immediately put down her phone, crawled over, and asked, "What trouble did you get into that made your brother-in-law kick you out?"

The ’brother-in-law’ Shen Nuan mentioned was none other than Huo Feng’s biological father, Huo Mingshan.

Huo Feng felt annoyed just hearing about this man! Extremely annoyed!

"It wasn’t me who caused trouble. He forced me to leave home!"

Huo Feng answered loudly, "I had a fallout with him, and from now on, I’ll live here. Unless he apologizes to me, I won’t go back."

"Ohh..."

Shen Nuan nodded as if she was used to it, "Then why did you have a falling-out with him? Did he smash your computer?"

"No, that..."

Huo Feng smirked with some pride, "This time, I was the one to strike first. I threw a temper tantrum to teach him a lesson and outmaneuvered him completely!"

Shen Nuan’s mouth formed an "O", and she nodded in a daze, "Oh~ Poor brother-in-law."

After speaking, Shen Nuan was knocked on the head by Huo Feng, "He’s poor, and you’re mean?! Where’s he poor? The one who’s truly suffering is me, struggling under his tyrannical policies, alright?"

Shen Nuan, rubbing her head where he’d hit her, pouted, "Hey, why are you being so dramatic... Didn’t my dad rescue you? And your dad isn’t a bad person either; it’s more like you have a worse temper than him."

"Hey! You’re asking for it~"

Huo Feng freed one hand to hook around Shen Nuan’s neck, then tightened his arm, choking her, "You’re actually defending him. He did such despicable things! Splitting me and Sangzhi apart! And badmouthing me to Sangzhi! With everything turning out this way, you still speak for him! I’m going to strangle you, I swear!"

"Cough, cough, let go... "

Shen Nuan flailed in Huo Feng’s grip.

Thus, the two play-fought on the couch for a while, with the dominant Huo Feng emerging as the victor, effectively ending the conversation.

Later, Shen Nuan, panting from being bullied by Huo Feng, lamented, "That’s it, that’s it. Now that you’re here, I’ll never have any peace. If you keep bullying me like this, what am I going to do..."

On the side, Huo Feng leaned back on the sofa with his legs crossed, a contented smirk on his lips, as he said, "The good days for Huo Feng have arrived..."

Having said that, he nudged Shen Nuan with his elbow, "Hey, look how much grandpa dotes on me, he’s already starting to prepare the banquet."

Shen Nuan rubbed her neck, gasping and frowning, "Wow, dad is so biased..."

At that moment, Shen Jianhua was incessantly on the phone in the stairwell, calling various relatives, as well as friends and officials from the village.

"Hello, have you had dinner tonight? If not, come to my place, my grandson is here, and I’ve prepared a whole table of dishes, are you coming or not?"

"Hey, it’s me. Have your family had dinner yet? If not, come over to my place, Huo Feng is here today! I’ve called for a table of dishes, don’t you regret it if you miss it!"

"Old Wang, no need to say anything, come to my house for dinner! My grandson is home today, and a table full of delicious dishes is ready. Bring your homemade rice wine, come on over!"

Shen Jianhua was different from Huo Mingshan; he loved to show off Huo Feng!

Huo Feng was his precious grandson and had been spoiled by him since he was little, spoiled to the point where even when Huo Feng farted, he thought it smelled sweet.

Right now, Shen Jianhua had ordered a whole table’s worth of dishes and was gathering everyone to drink, all to welcome Huo Feng and cleanse away the travel dust.

Even though it was just transporting him from Tangxia to Centou Village, Shen Jianhua still wanted to make an event of it. That way, it would be clear that Huo Feng was going to live here.

This clearly showed just how deeply Shen Jianhua doted on Huo Feng!

In the end, Shen Jianhua also called Shen Yu...

"Hello, Huo Feng will be living with me from now on. Do you want to come over for dinner tonight? I’ve ordered a table full of dishes!"

On the other end of the phone, Shen Yu opened her mouth in surprise...

Half an hour later, people of all sorts gathered at Shen Jianhua’s home.

In the five-story residential building, two round tables for a banquet were set up on the first floor, topped with dishes freshly stir-fried for the mealtime.

Fish, shrimp, crab were all present, and beef, lamb, pork meat were also indispensable, comprising two tables of sumptuous fare.

As the main reason for Shen Jianhua’s elaborate banquet, Huo Feng was now mingling among the people at the two big tables, one hand holding a wine glass, the other pouring wine, hospitably topping up drinks for the elders and toasting with them.

Huo Feng’s sociable character was something Shen Jianhua valued highly, and it was because of this that he always felt that his eldest grandson brought him great honor!

"Dear uncles, aunties, cousins, brothers, and sisters, I, Huo Feng, will be staying at my grandpa’s place from now on. Should there be any offense in the future, I apologize in advance here! Cheers, I drink to you all!"

Having finished his speech, Huo Feng downed a glass of beer, causing an uproar of cheers from everyone!

Shen Jianhua really liked Huo Feng’s savvy demeanor, just like that of an old hand!

He believed his grandson would definitely achieve something great in the future!

As long as he didn’t cross the line too egregiously, with his grandson’s personality, even a degree from a third-rate university could lead to great success!

So, Shen Jianhua was not going to demand that Huo Feng study hard. He only wanted Huo Feng to be a good person, not too lousy, and no matter what, he must have something he could be proud of.

Life is short, one should play when it’s time to play, and fight when it’s time to fight, not wasting the time is what matters.

...

Tonight, on the other side of the city, the atmosphere in Pu Sangzhi’s home was also quite nice.

Although Huo Mingshan had specially come over to visit today and said some warning words, this did not affect the mood of Pu Sangzhi and her daughter.

In the evening, after Pu Sangzhi had finished housework, washed her hair and bathed, she carried her yarn and knitting needles into Chen Huifen’s workroom.

Peeking into the doorway, she first asked Chen Huifen, "Mom, how are you feeling now?"

Chen Huifen, not knowing what she was up to, looked up with a smile and said, "Why? Is there some major announcement?"

"Yes..."

Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips, tiptoed into the room, and asked, "I want to know, after the teacher spoke with you today, are you going to object to me seeing Huo Feng?"

Chen Huifen shook her head, laughing softly, "Why would I? I said I wouldn’t interfere, and I won’t."

With that assurance, Pu Sangzhi confidently carried the yarn over to Chen Huifen’s side, "Mom, then could you teach me to knit a scarf?"

"Hmm?"

Chen Huifen raised an eyebrow, sensing something was up.

But before she could tease, Pu Sangzhi preempted any speculation, "It’s just a gift for making progress in studies! Don’t think too much!"

However, Chen Huifen hadn’t even asked for whom the gift was before she rushed to explain and clarify.

The behavior did seem a bit like ’protesting too much.’
