Eye of Sin

Chapter 640 Sudden
Facing this uncle who was so cautious, fearing that expressing closeness would cause trouble to his nephew, Huo Yan remained cold and didn't even look at him. He silently picked up the cup of water in front of him and drank tea.

"Alright! Sit down quickly! You came late anyway, and yet you're trying to be more cheerful than anyone else! Everyone has skipped meals, waiting to watch you perform a monkey show?!" Xing Zongda was already very angry with his youngest son, and now seeing that the situation was a bit awkward, he scolded him in a bad mood.

Xing Houde was a man in his early fifties after all. He was first pushed away by his nephew whom he hadn't seen for thirty years, and then scolded by his father in front of several strangers. He looked embarrassed at the moment.

However, he adjusted himself very quickly. He returned to his seat, adjusted the distance of his chair, and when he looked up again, it was as if nothing embarrassing had happened.

"So who are these people...?" He looked up at Ning Shuyi, as well as Ning's father and mother. "Dou Dou... Oh no, should it be Huo Yan? Oh, sorry, as far as I can remember, my nephew was still a baby and I only knew his nickname was Dou Dou. I don't know his full name. Now that we meet again unexpectedly, I'm a little uncomfortable with his name.

Are these Huo Yan's wife and parents-in-law? "

"We are in a romantic relationship." Huo Yan replied.

"Oh... a romantic relationship... Then when did you two establish your relationship? You never thought about meeting your parents before, and only arranged to meet them after Huo Yan and my father got to know each other?" Xing Houde asked.

Ning Shuyi frowned slightly. She didn't know whether it was because she had a preconceived aversion to Xing Houde that she had a subjective resistance to this person, so she magnified and analyzed his every word and action, or whether it was because this person's words really had some special meaning, which made people feel uncomfortable listening to them.

Father and Mother Ning are both experienced people, so they are naturally not slower than the younger generation. They just looked at Xing Houde without saying anything.

"If you use your brain, you won't be able to ask such a stupid question!" Xing Zongda snorted and glanced at his son. "Xiaoyan wanted to meet his girlfriend's parents before, so he also had to have his parents to meet!"

Xing Houde was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter, shook his head while laughing, and waved his hands at Ning's father and mother: "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! Look at me, my brain is not as clear as my almost 90-year-old father!
I'm so sorry! I'll drink three cups of tea instead of wine as punishment!"

As he spoke, he picked up the teapot and poured himself some tea.

Ning's parents could only say some polite words, and Xing Zongda promptly brought the topic to his side, and the atmosphere at the dinner table gradually returned to its previous pleasant and relaxed state.

During the meal, Huo Yan ate almost in silence, listened quietly to others talking, and rarely spoke.

If she didn't speak, Ning Shuyi would have nothing to say, unless Grandpa Xing took the initiative to ask her.

Just like that, when everyone had almost finished their meal, Xing Houde suddenly asked Huo Yan: "Now that you have recognized your grandfather, you are our Xing family's child from now on. Should we go back and find out what name your brother and sister-in-law gave you before, and then change your name back?"

"There's no need for that." Huo Yan refused without hesitation.

Xing Houde was stunned, as if he had not expected Huo Yan to refuse so bluntly. He was at a loss for a moment and looked to his father Xing Zongta for help.

Xing Zongda didn't seem to have any idea. He waved his hand and said to Huo Yan, "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether this thing is changed or not! Blood is thicker than water. No matter what the name is, it can't change the relationship between us as grandfather and grandson!"

Huo Yan nodded to him. "That's right, that's right." Xing Houde echoed, "You're already so old, and it seems that the process of applying to change your name is quite troublesome. It's really not necessary.

So where does Xiaoyan live now? Is he renting a house outside? "

Xing Zongda had not had the time to ask about this matter before, but when he heard Xing Houde ask it, he also cast an inquiring look at Huo Yan.

Huo Yan didn't want to pay attention to Xing Houde's question, but now his grandfather also wanted to know, so he couldn't ignore it: "I'm renting a house upstairs from Uncle Ning's house now."

"Oh, so..." Xing Houde looked at his father, "Dad, I misunderstood that you had Alzheimer's disease before, and I was afraid that something might happen to you at home alone, so I sent you to a health care center for care.

Now it seems that my old father not only does not have Alzheimer's disease, but is also in good health. He has found his grandson who had been lost for thirty years. I definitely can't let you live outside anymore!
I will ask the driver to take your luggage and other things back home, and then we will go through the check-out procedures.

As for Xiaoyan, he had no one to rely on. It was normal and reasonable for young people to rent a house when they were wandering around.

Now that you have recognized us, it would be wrong for us as a family to let you live outside!

Grandpa has finally found you, he must miss you very much and want to see you every day.

So just follow my arrangements. I'll ask the driver to go with you later. Pack up your things and move back home with grandpa."

During the meal, almost every time Xing Chongde opened his mouth, Xing Zongta would retort him. But this time, the old man listened to him without saying a word, just looking at Huo Yan, waiting for his reply.

It can be seen that Xing Zhongde's proposal hit the old man's heart.

Neither Father Ning nor Mother Ning said anything. When Huo Yan moved there, his original purpose was mainly to help them solve the dilemma set up by his ex-son-in-law Nie Guang. Later, he just happened to find it convenient to live there and he didn't have any relatives to rely on. Later, with the change in his relationship with Ning Shuyi, he continued to live there.

Now that they have found their families, it is reasonable for them to move in, so they are not in a position to comment.

"No thanks." Huo Yan himself refused without hesitation, "I am used to living in my current home and don't want to move.

The nature of my job makes it difficult to guarantee a regular schedule of leaving home early and returning late. Whether I move there or not, I can’t be sure that he will see me every day, and it will affect my grandfather’s rest, so I’d better not move.”

"Xiaoyan, you are a little too distant from us..."

Just as Xing Zhongde was about to speak to persuade them again, Ning Shuyi, who had just gone outside the private room to answer a phone call, came back.

She nodded to Huo Yan, who looked at her first, with a serious expression: "There is a case, and we need to go to the scene now."
