Suddenly, Cheng Ling seemed to hear the sound of boiling water.
“Grandma, are you cooking anything in the kitchen?”
Xie Ying was stunned for a moment, then patted her head, “Yes, yes, yes, look at my memory. I cooked some sweet potato soup for you, and I was reheating it to drink it hot. Quickly go take a look.”
Cheng Ling immediately put down her phone and went to the kitchen.
After a while, she brought out two bowls of steaming hot sweet potato soup.
“These sweet potatoes were harvested two-three months ago. I was afraid that they would sprout. As the temperature was dropping these few days, I made some soup for you to warm up.”
“Grandma is so thoughtful.”
Cheng Ling loved desserts. After taking it, her mood improved a lot.
Cheng Ling held the soup and sipped it in a small mouthful. She had forgotten about the friend request of the Cosmic Handsome Guy.
The next day, Cheng Ling had wanted to study the new prescription at home quietly, but Old Master Ding suddenly sent her a WeChat message, asking her to go to his house. He said that he had something to ask Cheng Ling for help.
Cheng Ling naturally couldn’t ignore Old Master Ding’s matter. She was afraid that it was some health problem, so she immediately agreed.
Ding Shun sent a car to pick up Cheng Ling. After she informed Xie Ying, she left.
This scene happened to be seen by Cheng Xiao who was standing by the window. She kept staring at the car until it disappeared from her sight.
“Mom, whose car plate is 6888?”
This kind of car plate was usually only available to people who were either rich or noble. When did Cheng Ling hook up with such a person?
Cheng Xiao tightened the hem of her clothes.
Thinking of Cheng Ling’s merciless “get lost” at the school gate yesterday afternoon, she was embarrassed for a long time.
On the way back, she felt that the driver was laughing at her.
Cheng Ming and Xie Wan were sitting on the sofa in the living room. It was rare for them not to play mahjong with others today.
“6888? It sounds familiar. Hubby, do you know it?”
Cheng Ming was watching the news on TV.
“6888? Isn’t that the one on the news?”
Xie Wan and Cheng Xiao looked up and saw the black car on TV with car plate number 6888.
The content of the news was an interview with Old Master Ding.
Old Master Ding had made great achievements in the war some years ago, so the government had specially rewarded him with this car plate number.
“Xiao Xiao, why did you suddenly ask this?”
Cheng Xiao recalled for a moment. The car she saw just now, its car plate number or model was the same as the one on the television.
So Cheng Ling was picked up by Old Master Ding?
The last time Old Master Ding inexplicably spared Cheng Ling’s matter, she had felt it very strange. Now, Old Master Ding had personally sent a car to pick up Cheng Ling, where was she going?
Cheng Xiao couldn’t figure it out herself, so she told Cheng Ming and Xie Wan what she had just seen.
And Cheng Ming and Xie Wan told Old Master Cheng about it.
“Xiao Xiao, did you see it clearly? Is that car really Old Master Ding’s?”
Old Master Cheng asked in a hoarse voice.
Due to the recent drop in temperature, Old Master Cheng had been bedridden for several days. The sudden cold made him look more haggard.
As the saying went, ‘illness comes like a mountain falling, but it goes away like pulling a thread’.
He found a family doctor to see him and drank medicine for several days, but there was no improvement.
Old Master Cheng’s room was filled with the smell of medicine. Cheng Xiao frowned almost imperceptibly.
“Of course I saw it clearly, Grandfather. That must be the car sent by the Ding family.”
Old Master Cheng didn’t say anything and sipped his hot tea.
He knew how high Old Master Ding’s standards were. He had wanted to visit Old Master Ding many times but was rejected.
But now, Old Master Ding sent a car to pick her up?
“Xie Wan, you’re close to those ladies. Go and find out what the Ding family has been doing recently.”
Of course, Old Master Cheng wasn’t ‘jealous’ of Cheng Ling like Cheng Xiao. Instead, he was thinking that if Cheng Ling and Old Master Ding could be related, then he might be able to invite Old Master Ding to his birthday banquet.
This way, he could show off to others that the Cheng family was casual.
Cheng Ling, who was sitting in the car, did not know anything about this.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Ding Residence.
“Miss Cheng, we’ve arrived.”
This driver had seen Cheng Ling many times. He knew how much Old Master Ding valued her. Thus he treated her with great respect.
Cheng Ling thanked him, took her things, and got out of the car.
The sun was a little dazzling after 10 am. Cheng Ling entered the Ding family home and was directly brought to the study by the housekeeper..
