Chapter 1158 - 1200: Completely Unexpected

Chapter 1158: Chapter 1200: Completely Unexpected

She thought that once she finished speaking, Ling Yueyue would be very sad, and then harbor a deep resentment towards Ling Shenglan for abandoning and disliking her.

Ling Yueyue’s reaction was completely unexpected to her.

Seeing Ling’s mother silent, Ling Yueyue calmly continued her analysis, "You know better than I do. If you tell me the truth, letting me know you’re not my biological parents, you will absolutely never get another penny from me in the future! Why would someone as deceitful as you do something as thankless as this? Everything you do is with a purpose and definitely benefits you!"

Facing Ling Yueyue’s question, Ling’s mother initially considered how she should explain, but after hearing Ling Yueyue’s words, she simply gave up on explaining and directly said, "To be honest, you’re really smart. Although I don’t want to admit it, I have to say you are smarter than my elder sister’s children! If you were really my daughter, I would surely be delighted! Unfortunately, you’re not; you are Ling Shenglan’s daughter! I’m not a great person who can treat another woman’s child as my own daughter! So, today since I’ve come, I’m not afraid to honestly tell you that the reason I’m telling you the truth is that I don’t want Ling Shenglan to have an easy time! If she hadn’t pushed me to this point, I definitely wouldn’t have revealed all the truth to you."

Ling Yueyue’s grip tightened, and she sternly asked, "She pushed you? Pushed you for what?"

"Haha... how ridiculous! A woman who never cared about you, felt desperate enough to kill you while she was pregnant, wished she could abandon you after you were born, and finally left you alone to go abroad for a man, now suddenly has a change of heart, asking me for all these years’ worth of living expenses, claiming to help you seek justice! I think she just wants to get this money from me and embezzle it herself! You don’t even know she’s your biological mother, so what reason does she have to give you the money once it’s taken away? Ultimately, she just covets this money for herself!" During her explanation, Ling’s mother deliberately avoided mentioning the money Ling Shenglan had given her for raising Ling Yueyue!

She feared speaking of it might change Ling Yueyue’s view of Ling Shenglan!

Anyway, everything she said now was meant to stir things up, to disrupt the relationship between mother and daughter as much as possible.

Facing Ling’s mother’s instigation, Ling Yueyue showed no sign of being swayed, her pale lips parted slightly, and she spoke coldly, "She’s not wrong. Since you’re not my biological mother and haven’t fulfilled a single day’s responsibility of raising me, then you don’t have the right to take my money! Since she’s asking you for it, you should return all the money and spare not a penny! Also, the million given to you by Mr. Huo from our family, you don’t have the right to keep it either; you should return it all without missing a cent! Otherwise, you should know, with Mr. Huo’s ability, even if he kills you, no one would dare intervene!"

Though they weren’t related by blood, after twenty-one years of pretending to be mother and daughter, how could she not know that this nominal mother was intentionally trying to drive a wedge between her and her biological mother?

Even if she believed her words, felt angered, and hated Ling Shenglan, unable to forgive her, she wouldn’t show it in front of the enemy; she couldn’t let the enemy be satisfied!

"Rest assured, since I came today, I haven’t planned to keep this money; anyway, it can’t stay, I will, of course, return every penny!" Facing the matter of money, Ling’s mother for the first time spoke uprightly.

Even if her heart was bleeding, even if she was incredibly reluctant, the matter had reached this point; no matter how hard she tried, the money wouldn’t remain with her! Since her goal of revenge had been achieved, giving up the money was somewhat more comfortable.

"Alright, you’ve said what you needed to say, right? If there’s nothing else, please leave! My home doesn’t welcome you! I definitely don’t want to see you!" Having finished the conversation, Ling Yueyue began the eviction.

"Do you think I want to see you? If it weren’t for Ling Shenglan, I wouldn’t want to lay eyes on you even once in this life!" Saying this, she raised her chin, stuck out her chest, turned around, and swaggered toward the doorway.

Unfortunately, even as she turned around, she couldn’t find the expression she was expecting on Ling Yueyue’s face.

At the very beginning when she revealed this matter, Ling Yueyue’s face darkened; she could still see her anger on her face!

But later, after she had said so much, thinking she would be even angrier, she was surprised to find Ling not only didn’t get angrier but her expression softened, and she seemed very calm, as if she’d heard something totally unrelated to her!

She just couldn’t understand how Ling Yueyue managed to stay so calm. Was it that her outward demeanor was an act, and inside she wasn’t calm at all?

Ling’s mother left the Huo Family Villa full of doubts.

After leaving the villa, she took out her phone, found Xiao Feng’s number and dialed it!

Once the call connected, she told Xiao Feng the whole truth over the phone.

Only after she had told both Ling Yueyue and Xiao Feng did she hang up the phone contentedly, left the villa area, hailed a taxi, and returned to the hotel where she and Ling’s father were temporarily staying.

When she returned to the single room they were staying in, and pushed open the door, the first thing that greeted her was Ling’s father’s alarming gaze.

Completely unprepared, Ling’s mother was genuinely startled by Ling’s father’s expression, hurriedly reached to touch her heart, rolled her eyes at Ling’s father, and snapped, "What are you doing? Don’t you know people can be scared to death by others?"

Ling’s father asked expressionlessly, "I ask you, where did you go? Why did you take so long?"

Ling’s mother plopped down on the bed, showing not a shred of guilt, and said, "None of your business where I went. You’ve been busy with that stupid notebook of yours from yesterday to today; I got bored and went out, must I get your permission for that?"

Clearly, Ling’s father didn’t believe Ling’s mother’s words at all. He harshly asked, "Did you go to see Yueyue? Did you tell Yueyue the truth?"

Ling’s mother said coolly, "So what if I did? So what if I didn’t? The paper can’t contain the fire; even if I didn’t say anything, she would sooner or later find out!"

Upon hearing this, Ling’s father was taken aback, hurriedly reaching out to grab Ling’s mother’s wrist, angrily exclaiming, "You really went to see Yueyue? Told her everything?"

With her wrist hurting from Ling’s father’s grip, Ling’s mother angrily shook off his hand, rubbed it gently, and said confidently, "I did go and tell her, that’s a fact. Why couldn’t I tell her? Since Ling Shenglan won’t let me have peace, I definitely won’t let them, mother and daughter, have peace either!"
