Chapter 1183: Chapter 1225: Listen to the Lady

Huo Jiantian lifted his chin and said without a second thought, "Of course I’m happy. She’s your biological mom, which makes her my grandma. Having a great grandma definitely makes me happy!"

Hearing this, Ling Yueyue felt a warmth spread through her heart, an indescribable emotion welling up from deep inside.

"Alright, I’m starving, let’s go eat! Otherwise, the food will get cold!" Feeling uncomfortable under Ling Yueyue’s gaze, Huo Jiantian shook off her hand, opened the door, and ran off without looking back.

Watching Huo Jiantian’s little body run away, Ling Yueyue shook her head with a smile, her eyes full of comfort.

Actually, Tiantian has always been a very understanding kid! Although sometimes mischievous, he likes to contradict her and intentionally makes her angry! But she knows that Tiantian actually understands everything; he just doesn’t like to express it! At crucial moments, the things he says make more sense than many adults!

Today, she didn’t really talk much with him, but he immediately understood everything, fully grasped it, and she could even see the sympathy in his eyes!

That Tiantian could treat her like this was enough to satisfy her!

Ling Yueyue thought as she left the room.

When Ling Yueyue reached the dining room, Huo Jiantian was already sitting in his seat, shoveling rice into his mouth with big gulps.

Meanwhile, Huo Junmo was holding Tiantian, carefully feeding her porridge as he sat to the side.

Ling Yueyue sat silently in her seat, exchanged a glance with Huo Junmo, and picked up her chopsticks to continue eating.

After that night’s heart-to-heart, Huo Jiantian seemed to have grown more mature and understanding, shedding any previous resentment for Huo Junmo’s indulgence of Tiantian. Instead, during his free time and holidays, he would even hold her and play with her.

Time passed quietly by, and another month went by in the blink of an eye.

That day was a weekend, so Huo Junmo took Ling Yueyue, Tiantian, and Tiantian to the amusement park.

Throughout the day, Ling Yueyue and Huo Jiantian were having a blast, while Huo Junmo was in charge of holding Tiantian, watching them play from the side.

Having so much fun, Ling Yueyue didn’t hear her phone ringing in her pocket the entire day.

It wasn’t until the afternoon, when everyone was tired from playing and got into the car to head home, that Ling Yueyue’s phone rang again quietly in her pocket, prompting her to finally pull it out. When she saw the caller ID, she hung up without hesitation.

After hanging up, Ling Yueyue realized that since entering the amusement park, she had over thirty missed calls on her phone!

These thirty-some missed calls came from three different numbers, all from the same place!

Looking at these missed calls, the joy on Ling Yueyue’s face vanished, replaced by a shadow of gloom.

Since Huo Junmo was driving and Ling Yueyue was holding Tiantian in the back seat, with Huo Jiantian sitting beside her!

Huo Jiantian keenly sensed Ling Yueyue’s change in mood. Seeing her unhappy expression, he couldn’t help but ask with concern, "Who called you? Why do you look so upset? Are you feeling unwell? Should Dad take you to the hospital?"

"No need, it’s just a bothersome person calling me. No need for the hospital!" Ling Yueyue shook her head and put her phone back in her pocket.

But no sooner had she put her phone away than it rang again.

Ling Yueyue, annoyed, took the phone back out, saw it was the same number again, and hung up resolutely before turning off the phone.

Though curious about who was calling, Huo Jiantian wisely chose not to ask.

When Ling Yueyue’s phone first rang, Huo Junmo glanced at her through the rearview mirror, and when it rang again, he did so again, observing the change in her expression.

Seeing the grimness in Ling Yueyue’s face, his gaze flickered, and he fell into contemplation.

Ling Yueyue thought turning off the phone would bring her peace! Unfortunately, as soon as they got home, the butler came out to meet them, nervously saying, "Sir, Ma’am, the old master from the in-law’s family called numerous times very anxiously wanting to speak with Ma’am! I told him that Ma’am and Sir took the young master and miss to the amusement park and suggested he try calling Ma’am’s phone. But he said he couldn’t reach Ma’am. All day long, the calls from the in-law’s old master never ceased; he called every thirty minutes or so to ask if Ma’am has returned yet. The last call just ended a moment ago!"

The entire Huo Family’s servants had no fondness for the Ling Family, even to the point of being disgusted!

So, after being pestered all day by calls from Ling’s father, an obvious impatience appeared on the butler’s face.

After hearing this, Ling Yueyue was furious.

Huo Junmo calmly asked, "Did he say what he wanted with Ma’am?"

The butler shook his head and replied honestly, "No, but I could tell he seemed very anxious. Something big probably happened! Ma’am, do you want to return his call and see what happened?"

Ling Yueyue impatiently said, "No need! If he calls again, just disconnect the phone line!"

She truly didn’t know when Ling’s father got hold of their home phone number! Since I didn’t answer his calls, he had the nerve to call the house directly!

The first of the three missed caller numbers on her phone was Ling’s father’s, the second was Ling’s mother’s, and the third was the landline number from their home in the countryside!

Taday, Ling’s father had been taking turns calling her all day with these three numbers.

No matter the purpose of their calls today, she had absolutely no interest in knowing why!

Ever since learning they weren’t her biological parents, refraining from cursing them out was already a great indulgence on her part!

Such shameless people, she never wanted to see them again in this life, and even hearing their voices made her nauseous.

"But...!" The butler glanced at Huo Junmo in dilemma.

After all, the home phone was usually reserved for receiving important calls! Many business partners of the Huo Tian Group generally call the home phone to look for Sir. Disconnecting it on the spur of the moment might cause some unforeseen impact.

Huo Junmo nodded, "Do as Ma’am says. If the phone rings again, disconnect it!"

"Understood! I will do so!" No sooner had the butler spoken, the home phone rang again.

Ling Yueyue looked at the butler, who turned and walked to the phone, glanced at the caller ID, and then looked at Ling Yueyue.
