However, the boy smiled coldly, his lips forming a stubborn arc as he raised his brows in impatience. âWhy should I tell you my name?â
The elderly man smiled before replying, âBecause I am your great grandpa and you are my great grandson. We are family!â
âGreat grandpa?â He raised his brow, scoffing at the form of address.
Mu Sheng clearly did not detect the disdain in his voice as he explained patiently, âI am your fatherâs grandpa, so you should call me great grandpa, little guy!â
âHe he! If you want me to tell you my name, it is not impossible.â
Youyou looked at him, his eyes squinted slightly. His face displayed a sense of arrogance and disrespect, as if he were having a negotiation!
His words insinuated that he wanted to discuss certain conditions!
The old man smiled. This little guy was really interesting. He was so young yet he was so calm!
He was only seven years old, yet he gave him the illusion that the one sitting in front was not a child but an adult, instead.
He asked with interest, âIt seems that you wanna offer me conditions. Sure! Letâs hear them!â
He knew how to negotiate with him and offer his conditions at such a young age. This little imp was indeed wise!
The boy snorted coldly before stating his condition, âRelease my mommy.â
Just as he finished his statement, the old manâs complexion changed as he refused firmly, âNo!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhy not?!â He was a little angry. âWhat right do you have to keep my mommy captive?!â
âItâs because your mommy committed an unforgivable crime!â Mu Sheng responded as his brows furrowed.
An unforgivable crime?
Does this old guy think that heâs a supreme dictator?
Posing as someone all high and mighty while finding people guilty recklessly, in his eyes, he was akin to a muddle-headed and incapable tyrant who had become foolish because of old age!
Seeing his icy expression, the old man realized that his attitude had been over the top. Therefore, he calmed his emotions and continued speaking in a low voice. âSheâs not your mommy, child. You are still young. Donât be fooled by that woman! You have the Muâs blood running in your veins. She took you away and kept you hidden and separated from us for so many years! How could I forgive her? She signed a contract with us back then. Now that she has broken the contract, she has to face the consequences!â
âHah! Sheâs my mommyâthe one who gave birth to me and raised me! It isnât important how you want to look at it. I only know that sheâs my closest kin, so you have to let her go!â He let out a cold snort as he glanced at him, his lips arching into a playful smile. He continued speaking faintly. âGrandpa, you canât be such a foolish person! Donât mix up whatâs right and whatâs wrong!â
Mu Sheng was dumbstruck.
Youyou lowered his voice suddenly. âI called you âgrandpaâ because I am giving you face for my daddyâs sake, but I have a baseline! If you dare to violate my baseline, I swear...â
The boy halted his words as he looked at the old man with a gaze even colder than before. It was horrifyingly icy.
Still, he did not speak the rest of his words.
He promised in his heart that, if anything were to happen to his mommy, he would never spare this old man!
The elderly man was curious so he could not help probing. âWhat did you swear?â
âI swear that youâll regret it!â
âYou... Are you threatening me?!â His eyes gradually became chilly.
