Chapter 1189: Chapter 1231: Your Existence

Ling Yueyue returned to Jin City, and in the blink of an eye, another month passed!

In this month, everything was calm and smooth, nothing happened, and the days passed happily and joyously!

Ever since the last call with Ling’s father in Jiangcheng, Ling Yueyue completely lost their news. They not only didn’t call to disturb her but also didn’t appear in her life!

Ling Yueyue didn’t want to ask about their current situation, and she had no interest, she just hoped they would never appear in front of her again!

Just when she thought she would live her life like this peacefully, a person she thought would never appear again showed up once more in her life.

That day, after sending Huo Junmo and Huo Jiantian off in the morning, Ling Yueyue, taking advantage of the cool morning without the sun, played in the garden with Tiantian as usual!

Before long, the doorbell rang.

The servant went to open the door, Ling Yueyue didn’t pay attention, continuing to play with Tiantian!

After a while, the servant came over, stood next to Ling Yueyue, and whispered, "Madam, the lady from the other family has come! Should we invite her in?"

Suddenly hearing this term, Ling Yueyue was slightly stunned, for a moment not reacting to who the lady from the other family the servant mentioned could be!

Seeing Ling Yueyue seemed not to understand, the servant spoke again, "The lady from the other family has come! It’s the young lady’s grandaunt!"

Ling Yueyue thought she misheard, somewhat incredulous, she asked, "Do you mean my aunt has come?"

The servant nodded, "Yes! She’s outside now, saying she wants to come in to see you!"

"Why did she come? Didn’t she leave? Why did she suddenly come back?" Ling Yueyue slightly furrowed her brows, knowing her biological mother had returned brought a surge of indescribable feelings.

Saying she wasn’t happy would be a lie! But saying she was happy, she couldn’t forget the two times she was left behind!

Now, she inexplicably returned, wanting to see her, she genuinely didn’t know whether to see or not to see her.

Decisively saying not to see her, driving her away, she felt a bit reluctant in her heart. If she let her in, she’d still be unwilling! Why could she leave and return whenever she wanted? What did she take her for?

Seeing Ling Yueyue staring down, lost in thought without speaking, the servant couldn’t help but ask, "Madam, should we let the lady from the other family in? She’s still waiting outside!"

After some contemplation, Ling Yueyue eventually followed her heart, "Let her in! Bring her to the garden to meet me!"

"Yes!" The servant nodded and turned away.

Watching the servant’s departing figure, Ling Yueyue found herself unconsciously becoming nervous!

She knew she was nervous because she was about to see that woman, she deeply understood, nervousness meant caring! She didn’t want to care, wanted to maintain a casual attitude, but after much effort, she still couldn’t completely calm down.

Perhaps because of the nervousness, the strength in her arms holding Tiantian unconsciously increased, making Tiantian uncomfortable, furrowing her brow and whimpering.

The nearby nanny saw it and quickly reminded, "Madam, you’re hurting the young lady!"

Awakened by the nanny’s words, Ling Yueyue quickly relaxed the grip in her arms, handing Tiantian to the nanny.

Just as the nanny took Tiantian, the servant brought Ling Shenglan in.

Clearly, they hadn’t seen each other for almost three months, but the moment Ling Shenglan appeared, Tiantian immediately smiled happily, reached out towards Ling Shenglan, acting as if she was trying to get her to hold her.

Ling Shenglan, originally composed, saw this, her nose turned sour, her eyes reddened instantly, and tears flowed down.

Seeing Ling Shenglan crying immediately upon entering, her sorrowful appearance, Ling Yueyue who was already unsettled felt a sudden wave of sadness, her eyes unknowingly reddening!

To prevent Ling Shenglan from noticing her change, Ling Yueyue turned her head, facing away from Ling Shenglan, and closed her eyes, taking deep breaths continuously, trying hard to adjust her emotions.

Ling Shenglan placed the tote bag on the table next to Ling Yueyue, walked to the nanny, and reached out to Tiantian with trembling hands.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached out, Tiantian instantly lunged towards her, quickly snuggling into Ling Shenglan’s arms.

"Tiantian, haven’t seen grandaunt for three months, did you miss her? Grandaunt missed you so much too!" Ling Shenglan embraced Tiantian tightly, unable to help but kiss her forehead.

Tiantian not only didn’t mind but instead laughed gleefully.

At this moment, the maid who had led Ling Shenglan in brought her a glass of water, after Ling Shenglan motioned for her to place it on the table, the maid left.

After making some adjustments, Ling Yueyue’s mood finally calmed down, when she opened her eyes again, her face returned to its usual expression of keeping people at a distance, she asked coldly, "I thought you’d never show up this lifetime? It’s been three months, why are you looking for me now?"

Ling Shenglan, holding Tiantian, sat down on the chair opposite Ling Yueyue, filled with guilt, "Yueyue, I’m sorry, I know my past actions have hurt you deeply, I came today specifically to apologize to you!"

Ling Yueyue sneered, self-mockingly said, "You’re apologizing today? Isn’t it too late?"

Afraid Ling Yueyue misunderstood, Ling Shenglan quickly shook her head to explain, "No, actually I’ve long wanted to apologize to you! But when you first learned about this matter, I was afraid you’d be emotional, refuse to see me, and reject my explanation, so I never came to you! Moreover, my current husband kept calling, urging me to return every day, helplessly, I left first to resolve matters there and then come back to you!"

After listening to Ling Shenglan’s explanation, Ling Yueyue felt not even a bit of comfort, instead sneering, "So, in your mind, your current husband and son are always the first priority, while I’m always last! No matter what you do, you’re always concerned about them first, and then think about me! It was like this more than five years ago, and it’s still like that now!"

"No, no, you’re truly misunderstanding!" Ling Shenglan shook her head in panic, sincerely said, "I admit, over five years ago, I did dismiss you as a burden, wholeheartedly wanting to get rid of you as baggage so when Xiao Feng wanted to marry me, I abandoned you without hesitation! But after I really left, I thought about you every day and night! Only after leaving you did I realize that you, as a daughter, occupy an irreplaceable place in my heart! In the sixteen years we spent together, I had already grown accustomed to your presence, accepted your existence! I care about you as a daughter!"
