Chapter 1185: Chapter 1227: So What Is It?

Looking at Huo Jiantian’s aggrieved little eyes, Ling Yueyue felt even happier inside. She chuckled and patted Huo Jiantian’s head, gloatingly saying, "Don’t blame me and your dad, it’s your fault for wanting to study! Be patient, summer vacation is almost here! I’m really exhausted today, so I’m not going to mess around with you anymore. I’m going upstairs to take a shower and rest!" With that, she stood up, gave a few detailed instructions to the nanny holding Tiantian, and then headed upstairs ahead of them.

"Dad...!" With Ling Yueyue gone, Huo Jiantian once again directed his innocent little eyes at Huo Junmo.

Huo Junmo spoke in an unquestionable tone, "Your malicious stepmother is right. You’re studying right now, so you can’t just run around. If you really want to go out and play, I’ll take you out during summer vacation. It’s absolutely not possible right now!"

"...!" Huo Jiantian pouted, looking even more aggrieved.

Although he knew they were right, the thought that they would soon be able to go out and play while he was left alone at home made him feel absolutely awful.

Huo Junmo said solemnly, "You’ve been playing all day today and you’re tired, so go upstairs for a shower and get some rest early! Tomorrow you have to start doing your homework, you can’t keep playing like this!"

"Oh!" Huo Jiantian responded dispassionately, sluggishly standing up, hunching his back, slowly making his way to the stairs.

Once Ling Yueyue and Huo Jiantian had both left, Huo Junmo stood up and walked to the sofa in the living room, gestured for the butler to come over, and instructed, "Go tell the security outside that if the lady’s parents come, make them leave immediately. They shouldn’t be seen within a hundred miles of the villa area! Especially make sure the lady doesn’t see them, or they’ll be thrown out."

"Alright, I’ll go tell them right now!" The butler nodded and turned to leave.

After instructing the butler, Huo Junmo played with Tiantian for a while before going upstairs for a shower and rest as well!

Under Huo Junmo’s protection, during the three days in Jiangcheng, Ling Yueyue was very quiet and wasn’t influenced at all by the matters concerning Ling’s father and mother.

After arranging things at work, Huo Junmo took Ling Yueyue, Tiantian, and the nanny and headed for Jiangcheng.

Since he was traveling with a child this time, Huo Junmo didn’t fly commercially like when he was on honeymoon with Ling Yueyue, but instead took his private jet directly to Jiangcheng.

After arriving in Jiangcheng, Huo Junmo took Ling Yueyue to stay at Jiangcheng Hotel.

Huo Junmo and Ling Yueyue had one suite, and the nanny with Tiantian had another.

Ling Yueyue had just placed the luggage in the room when the phone in her trouser pocket rang again.

Ling Yueyue took out her phone and glanced at the caller ID; it was a strange number from Jin City! Looking at those digits, Ling Yueyue hesitated for a moment. Originally, she planned to hang up immediately, but after pondering for a bit, she decided to answer and put it to her ear, "Hello...!"

The reason she answered the call was because the caller ID showed Jin City. She feared it was someone urgently trying to reach her, or perhaps her best friend Ye Anxin calling her, so after a moment’s hesitation, she chose to answer.

As soon as she picked up the call, an extremely disliked voice came over, "Yueyue!"

Upon hearing this voice, Ling Yueyue instinctively prepared to hang up.

As she was about to take action, Ling’s father seemed to read her mind and hurriedly said, "Yueyue, don’t hang up, please patiently hear me out. I really have no ill intentions this time! I’m begging you...!"

After hearing Ling’s father’s urgent and pleading words, Ling Yueyue paused her actions for a moment, hesitated, but didn’t hang up, and impatiently asked, "Why are you calling me? Get to the point, I’m busy and don’t have time to listen to you talk nonsense!"

Ling’s father said apologetically, "Yueyue, I know you’re busy and still resent me. I’ve always felt guilty about my past actions and wanted to say sorry to you. I hope you’ll forgive me on the account of me being your real uncle!"

Ling Yueyue impatiently said, "Did you call just for this? If so, we have nothing more to talk about!"

"Uh...!" Ling’s father hesitated on the other end, unsure how to start.

Ling Yueyue frowned and said, "Those words shouldn’t even have been said by you! If you felt even a bit guilty, you wouldn’t have been doing those things for over five years! So, spare me your insincere apologies and get to the point, I’m hanging up if you don’t!"

To be honest, she didn’t hang up because she was genuinely curious about what they wanted from her.

Three days ago, they called her all day, and when she didn’t pick up, they called her home, and eventually even called Huo Junmo’s phone!

She originally thought that adding both her and Huo Junmo to their block list would make them understand not to bother her anymore, but today they called with a different number, and it showed Jin City’s area code!

This proves that they are in Jin City now!

She’s puzzled about what happened to them that makes them so anxious to find her.

Ling’s father was silent for a moment before speaking, "Yueyue, I know that more than a month ago, your aunt found you and told you the whole truth! You must now know that Shenglan is your biological mother, and I’m your real uncle!"

Ling Yueyue tightly furrowed her brows and said irritably, "Get to the point, don’t beat around the bush! Speak up! Why are you so desperately trying to reach me? Don’t waste words, I told you, I don’t have time to listen especially to this insincere talk!"

Ling’s father said, "Since you’ve said so, I’ll be straightforward! I called to ask if you could contact Shenglan? I want to meet her, but she changed her phone number and I can’t get in touch with her! I originally didn’t want to disturb you, but now I have no other choice! You’re her biological daughter, you must be able to contact her, and you must know her number! Could you call her for me? Tell her I’ve realized the mistake, and since we’re siblings, we can discuss things privately, there’s no need to make a scene out of it!"

Upon hearing Ling’s father’s words, Ling Yueyue’s heart turned cold, "I don’t know, I don’t know her phone number, and I severed contact with her long ago!"

Ling’s father, not buying Ling Yueyue’s words, pleaded, "Yueyue, I know you must know her number. You’re her biological daughter, how could she change her number without telling you? Please don’t deceive me! I know I’ve wronged you many times in the past, please generously forgive me!"
