Chapter 1149: Chapter 1191: Mockery

Especially after watching Ling Shenglan, her actions were ruthless, only choosing the most expensive items, and she ordered a lot at once!

Seeing Ling Shenglan continuing to flip through the menu, seemingly planning to keep ordering, Ling’s mother kept elbowing Ling’s father and winking at him incessantly.

Ling’s father hurriedly looked at Ling Shenglan sitting opposite him, forcing a smile that was uglier than crying, "Shenglan, you’ve already ordered so much, can you finish it? I’m not being stingy, nor am I forbidding you to eat. I just think it’d be too wasteful if you can’t finish it all!"

Ling Shenglan remained unresponsive, still lowered her head and continued ordering!

The more Ling Shenglan ordered, the worse Ling’s father and mother’s faces became. They almost cried!

Just when Ling’s father and mother’s hearts were nearly drained of blood, Ling Shenglan finally finished ordering, closed the menu, and smiled at the waiter saying, "For now, I’ll order this much first, serve it up, and if it’s not enough, I’ll order more!"

"Alright!" The waiter nodded, looking towards Ling’s father and mother, and politely asked, "May I ask if either of you would like to order something?"

Ling’s father and mother quickly shook their heads together, "No need, no need!"

Seeing their expression, Ling Shenglan barely held back her laughter, saying sarcastically, "You’re really not eating? I must tell you, what I just ordered is all for myself alone, there’s none for you. If you don’t order, you’ll really just have to watch me eat later. Aren’t you hungry?" ℯ𝐥.𝒄ℴ𝓶

After hearing her words, Ling’s father and mother exchanged glances, seemingly thinking they heard it wrong!

She ordered so much just for herself, knowing she’s going to eat alone? Then what about them? If they want to eat, they must continue to order? Wouldn’t that require more money?

Ling’s father hurriedly chuckled, shamelessly saying, "Shenglan, you ordered so much, can you finish it all? If you can’t, we can just eat what you don’t finish!"

Ling Shenglan boldly said, "Who told you I couldn’t finish it? Even if I can’t finish it, you can’t eat it. Watching you eat what I leave, you’d feel uncomfortable and so would I!"

"...!" Ling’s father and mother were stunned, though extremely angry, had no good words to say, so they had to swallow their saliva, and after a struggle, said to the waiter, "We’re not hungry, we’re not eating, just bring us two cups of plain water!"

"Alright, please hold on for a moment!" The waiter nodded and turned to leave the private room.

After the waiter left, Ling’s mother tugged on Ling’s father’s arm, giving him a look, persistently signaling for Ling’s father to speak.

Ling’s father’s mouth opened and closed repeatedly, several times wanting to speak but not knowing how to begin.

After all, he had said what needed to be said when he stayed at the hotel room next to Shenglan’s last time, Shenglan hadn’t shown any signs of relenting!

And he later ran away again, not answering her calls, now asking him to speak up, how should he begin?

While Ling’s father was contemplating how to start, Ling’s mother couldn’t hold back and began first, "Shenglan, actually sister-in-law came this time to find you for something, a couple of days ago, we received a court summons, we...!" Just as Ling’s mother was about to continue, she was interrupted by Ling Shenglan’s voice, "Now is mealtime, let’s not talk about anything else first, lest it affects the mood while eating! Let’s talk after we eat! Anyway, I don’t have much else to do in Jin City this time, I have plenty of time, we can chat slowly!"

"...!" Being blocked like this by Ling Shenglan, the words at Ling’s mother’s throat had to be swallowed back down!

Looking at Ling Shenglan, sitting across with a breezy face and a calm smile, Ling’s mother was gritting her teeth in anger. To vent her fury, her hand under the table kept twisting Ling’s father’s thigh, causing Ling’s father to sweat coldly but not daring to show it.

Because no one is willing to discuss the matter, the atmosphere in the private room appears somewhat awkward! Ling Shenglan also couldn’t be bothered with Ling’s father and mother, she directly took out her phone, browsing photos and videos taken of Ling Yueyue and Tiantian these days!

While looking at Tiantian’s adorable little face, there was joy painted on the corners of her eyes and brows, sometimes even smiling uncontrollably due to one of Tiantian’s small movements in the video.

Although Ling’s father and mother sitting opposite her couldn’t see the content on her phone, upon hearing the sounds coming from her phone, they couldn’t help but exchange puzzled glances.

After a while, Ling’s father finally couldn’t help but ask, "Shenglan, what are you looking at? I seem to hear a little girl’s laughter from your phone, who’s laughing? Looking at how happy you are, it must be someone very dear to you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Shenglan reluctantly moved her gaze from the video to Ling’s father, her lips slightly curved into a cold smile, and asked, "Can’t you tell whose voice it is?"

Being asked this by Ling Shenglan, Ling’s father grew even more puzzled, almost instinctively shook his head, "Who’s voice? I can’t tell!"

Listening to his answer, Ling Shenglan wasn’t angry but instead acted as if she had an epiphany, sneered saying, "Oh! I forgot, how would you know whose voice it is! Because from beginning to end, your heart has never been with them mother and daughter! I suppose, since Yueyue’s child was born till now, you’ve never even held them, have you?"

"...!" Ling’s father felt utterly humiliated by such sarcastic remarks from Ling Shenglan, his old face flushed red.

Nevertheless, Ling Shenglan had no intention of letting them off, continuing to say, "Tiantian is already six months old, yet you probably have never considered her as your granddaughter... oh... no, your grandniece! You never think about them mother and daughter, naturally, you can’t recognize Tiantian’s voice!"

Ling’s father kept his head low, struggling for a while before finally saying, "Uh... because we usually stay in the countryside, there’s a lot of farm work, we haven’t had time to come here and see them mother and daughter!"

Ling Shenglan sneered, "Being busy is indeed a good excuse! However, since you have time this time, why not visit Tiantian and Yueyue together another day! I think, Yueyue would be very happy to see you!"

Although a thousand times unwilling, Ling’s father had to bite the bullet and answer, "If there’s time, then... of course, it’s possible to go see them mother and daughter!"

Before Ling’s father answered, Ling Shenglan decisively said, "Alright then, let’s finish discussing things today, tomorrow we’ll go see Yueyue and Tiantian together!"

"...!" This time Ling’s father didn’t know how to answer or what to answer!

Today’s matters aren’t settled yet, one doesn’t even know how they’ll be resolved. If they visit the Huo Family, and inadvertently let Yueyue and Shenglan know about Huo Junmo giving them a million yuan, wouldn’t it be even worse?
